I realised that this song has a really happy beat and was really confused but then I realised the lyrics were about how people don’t understand and don’t take the time to look at peoples faces and what’s going on in their minds. And the fact that the song is a sad song disguised as a happy song and matches the message is so clever and cool. The thought that goes into this omg

[@Caroline28483]

See, here's the thing. I think this song could work when Connor is still alive. Think of it: Zoe confronts Connor at home about that poor kid in the hallway that he pushed for seemingly no reason. Connor doesn't tell her about the note but he argues with her. They yell and fight, it's loud and kind of overwhelming. Cynthia steps in and scolds Zoe and Zoe storms off to her room and we see her frustration and just how done she is with having to shut up and hide her opinions and the way she feels to keep her family out of chaos. We understand her better in Requiem and we see her guilt and sadness over Connor later in the musical. Just give me more Zoe Murphy, okay.

[@justrandompuppetsandstuff3724]

Headcanon accepted

[@beetrisrubis]

This is so perfect because the reason Connor pushed Evan is because Evan was kinda smiling and Connor thought he was making fun at him just like Jared. But Evan actually just didn't know what to do or how to react so there was more behind his "smile" than Connor could think. Maybe Zoe saw behind Evan's smile. Even though the song is about her faking her emotions, pretending to be fine, it could also be about this

[@maryl.5984]

[@generalhorse493]

@@threedicksonabench3141 Still, I'm happy that Zoe and Evan found each other and gave one another what they each needed most. I can understand cutting a song for time but this song not only adds another layer to Zoe but it makes all the songs she has with Evan (If I Could Tell Her, You Will Be Found, Only Us) so much deeper.

[@bumblebeeproductions1673]

Not only was she probably verbally abuse by her drug addict brother, she also finally found a guy she could rely on who ‘knew’ her brother and then it turns out that was all a lie

[@musicprincess9747]

Alright, so I do believe Requiem is better, as it shows more detail into Zoe and Connor's relationship, along with the Murphy parents' point of view, but I feel like this song gives Zoe more character. It gives her the "I'm smiling but in pain" trait, which makes her more characterized. Just my opinion, feel free to share yours ^-^

[@zealouschristian2428]

Music Princess It also suggests a notable parallel with Evan, hiding themselves "out of the sun".

[@berylliumblue3281]

Honestly I agree! This song is solely centered on Zoe, delving more into her character, and I'm really grateful for it.

[@booktales1687]

Andrea Cassidy oof

[@WeMissDimebag]

I favor Requiem solely because it establishes the dynamic between her and Connor as very adversarial, and Evan manipulating her through making her feel better is what drives their relationship throughout the play. If you cut it, I don’t know where else you establish that. This song is cute but it’s about a vague struggle, whereas Requiem is explicit in saying that she doesn’t *want* to miss Connor.

[@jensen8216]

Music Princess I think Peter requiem for the play because I think it works better for where Zoe is at that point. She basically says she not going to fake love her life anymore, or lie to herself. That makes more interesting dynamics between her and Evan for the rest of the play. I think this would perfectly establish her character before Conner commits suicide, but not after.

[@shauniamarek1641]

Okay I figured out the chords for guitar at least if anybody wants to know them With a capo on the 6th fret the chord progression for the chorus and verses are G D Em Cadd9 without the pinky on the high e string Going into the bridge during the “la da das” it’s G D Cadd9 D then for the actually bridge it’s Em D G Cadd9 without the pinky. Then for the “needs to hide” part its connects with the bridges Cadd9 then D G and it resumes the normal chord progression on the G Edit: for the Em, you can leave your middle finger on the 2nd string (b string) 3rd fret so it turns into a G6/E I think, and in my opinion it sounds better (and you also don’t have to pick up your middle finger at all during the chord progression!)

[@shauniamarek1641]

Because I love this song soooo much I downloaded a ukulele app and with the capo on the 1st fret it’s C G Am F or with out a capo it’s C# G# A#m F# Going into the bridge it’s C G F G then for the actual bridge it’s Am G C F and for the “needs to hide” it’s Am G C

They told me what this song actually means and then it was my turn to be so confused but when I listened to it again a few more times I realised my mistake and I was so embarrassed and I felt so bad for how terribly I misinterpreted the song.

[@paigeonstaige1155]

I just discovered this song even though I’ve been a fan of DEH for years. The “la da das” are my favorite part because my take on it (that might not be what they had in mind) is that Zoe is trying to use filler to help the song because she can’t think of the words.

Okay so many things about this song are just so flabbergasting to me. One, these directors/writers are so supportive of Mallory and I honestly love that, how they’re saying how proud they are and calling her a total rockstar. Two, I absolutely adore how this song is so metaphorical, like, it talks about how she plasters on a fake smile and acts happy when really she isn’t and doesn’t wanna be there, all in a happy tune covering a sad truth. I feel like this (happy beat covering up the sad lyrics) is a metaphor in which you must discover to truly _know_ the song. And Three, I think they should lengthen the show just to put all these cut songs in. Like “Little Bit Of Light” And “Going Viral” we’re both amazing! “Obvious” (even though I’m a heavy TreeBros shipper) and “Part Of Me” were BORN for the stage (I don’t think they play Part Of Me in the show in NYC) and “in the bedroom down the hall” would get everyone feeling the emotion this show was meant to put in people within a matter of four minutes. gAH I love this show too much-

at first i thought the song was a bit cliche and happy sounding, but i gave it a chance and i realized how clever it was. they took a sad song and disguised it as a happy little tune. also i am in love with the melodies and the ukulele and mallory’s voice!! it’s all wonderful!!

[@michaelintheclassroom6998]

I love this song so much. I relate to Zoe. I just fake happiness and no one knows I am lying. I almost cried cause someone actually understands, or this song wouldn't exsist. THANK YOU !!!!!

[@leilani7480]

It hurts how much I relate to this song.

[@sydrozon]

Read the book they released!! It's shows this side of Zoe and even more stuff that didn't make it in the musical! It's really well done.

I'm doing this for my talent show dance and the choreography is just on the verge of being finished! It's all because DEH has spoken to me about leaving my shell, helped me to do something!

[@Daniel_Paterson]

This song doesn't sound anything like what she is feeling! It's happy when she's singing about how she's... ohhhh. Genius

[@midnightthoughts8519]

The meaning is so simple to understand. It's like Natsuki's poems. (Yes, I just compared this to Doki Doki). Kind of reminds me of Bullet by Hollywood Undead, with the happy tone but dark lyrics. It's sad, really. But I love it!

[@veronica6146]

her voice is stunning ! this song is absolutely beautiful .

[@illulamati4651]

This makes me think of Via from Wonder. Now that I think about it, they have pretty similar personalities

[@hamchung7775]

I have always found Via and Zoe so similar! Looks like I’m not the only one!

[@illulamati4651]

@@hamchung7775 Yeah, they actually have a lot in common

[@3rat2catgirl]

I kind of like this better than Requiem, but also Mallory sound absolutely AMAZING...

[@shaybruce9532]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice... Mallory is an amazing Zoe!

[@Feilimwashere]

I find that this song completely fits me

[@Poppy-vk2dj]

i wish so badly this was in the show

[@doodie101]

even the song is hiding in it's hands. If you were to just listen to it without listening to the lyrics it sounds like a really happy song, but if you look in deep and truly hear the lyrics, you can hear it is a dark, sad song.

[@MrKittyhead]

I need a version of DEH with all the outtakes included.

[@onegaimymerold]

she sounds like such a princess

[@sock_9595]

Ukulele chords are C, Cminor and A for anyone wanting to learn this

[@Maddie_TMC]

This song is such a gem... I love it so much!

[@anniepettigrew]

"She simultaneously makes me feel very proud and incredibly inadequate." love that

[@Ash-qr1yh]

I’m not crying, your crying

[@ziqqyziqqy]

another song i can show my therapist if i had a therapist i wish i had a therapist

[@zipzapzop6519]

I thought this was gonna be about Evan's sweaty hands anxiety, lol

[@gluestickcum]

Replace all the 'la da da's with the 'la da da's from You'll Be Back... it's great lol

[@carlimay8]

“Mallory sounds gorgeous here” Yeah I know man I have ears

[@liting8569]

I'm actually crying when the "You're crying" shows on my screen😭

[@connor-smith]

Aw, this song is just tragic. It definitely gets her sadness and pain through much better than requiem, though both are amazing.
