This rendition gives me life. Broadway is missing out on Natalie’s talent, man.

[@elliehughes284]

The smoothest riffs on earth I can’t

[@hannahbeach5269]

When the riffing queen and king join forces, magic is inevitable. Also I think I’ve replayed the riff at 2:20 about 12x in a row no joke

[@nalteri02]

Hannah Beach you’re not alone on that!!

[@MarrysKreativWerkstatt]

We all did that 🙏 :D

[@mattkugler8068]

I keep trying to sing this riff along with the recording but it’s so hard to replicate! 😅

[@briannah7569]

If I could've been there I would've reacted just like the violin player in the background... just in complete awe of the beauty I was witnessing. Natalie you're amazing!!

[@JPie0522]

Watching this rehearsal on loop on instagram. It’s so beautiful to see the full glory. I love these both. And also I think Joey-Contreras’ songs should be put together and made into a musical. They can do it for Mama Mia and Rock of Ages. They can do it and I know exactly what the show should be name “A Break From The Line”.

[@looweevidanes7875]

I have the same thought about creating a musical out of Joey's songs! It's going to be awesome for sure.

[@superdork23]

Also LOVE the bands reactions to them!!

[@JoeyContreras]

Me too :)

[@marcsachs1260]

I can’t with this...... the “lying” gives me chills every single time and I’ve listened to this an exorbitant amount.

[@AL2_aldousnuelle]

2024 and i’m still replaying this masterpiece 🥺🥰

[@morgandehart1529]

Real talk though. The bassist's (?) that is just over Natalie's shoulder not playing anything has the best reactions. My personal favorite is at about 00:18 or 00:22. You can hear him thinking "mm, sing it"

[@iffanf9178]

we are all the guy in the back

[@badetagravante]

who else wants a reaction video of the violin guy watching natalie weiss riffing videos?

[@kindredmario1640]

He actually wrote the song lolz 😂 That’s Joey Contreras

[@marensigson4667]

The bass player in the back is me all day

[@wyattmcconchie3889]

The riff gods back at it again. I can’t take it... I need to meet them both one day.

[@dAfoodie101]

i met natalie at stage door for emojiland, second preview. she was such a sweetheart 😭😭

[@slamminitdown08]

The melody change on “I’m Not Leaving” at 2:24 is everything.

[@Mia-up4qp]

PLEASE PUT THIS ON APPLE MUSIC. IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS !!!!!

[@ailawil89]

I’ve seen this video multiple times, but just noticed the cellist’s reaction at the end of that super intricate riff. Haha. Gold. Same reaction on my part, I think.

[@hannahhanson8639]

Natalie Weiss is a national treasure and I need her to be in every broadway show from now on

[@lucasdebrito8292]

the harmonies are just THEATRE PERFECTION, thank god

[@leannoxley6901]

Is it strange that my only wish in life is to stand in between those two while they sing this song!

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

This song feels like 20 seconds oml there is some time space trickery happening here this song is not 3 minutes long. 🥺💕

[@daniel_plays_eupho]

How did I miss this???? Both Ben and Nat sound incredible! Those riffs 🙌

[@myrrh.g]

The evolution of the guy in the back throughout the song

[@gobadeee]

Love watching the musicians’ reactions. Lol

[@fallingoutmusical]

I listen to this at least 6 times a day

[@emelie376]

I HAVEN’T EVEN WATCHED IT AND I’M CRYING ALREADY

[@morganscott5965]

finally i don’t have to just watch the videos of them arranging this on instagram!!

[@markrussell7679]

I’m in love with the violinist on stage left. He’s so appreciative of their talent. It’s so adorable.

[@charlottehennessey7902]

All of those band members are mesmerized by Natalie. They all look in love with her

[@jahwank.williams1381]

YESSSSSSSS

[@deliahsdiary]

[@oliviahudson4692]

[@saraabigail2958]

[@sibilaiton]

[@leora8278]

I love this song so much and this version is perfect! Gonna go cry for a few hours while I listen to this on repeat.

[@aysgarcia2327]

I’m all the instrumentalists reacting to this amazingness all at once

[@emilyhogarty2850]

This is what we've all been waiting for! Yesss!!!!

[@Sam4Him]

One of the world's greatest duets! I love it! And just look at the guys in the back... They love it too 😀😍

[@linusnilssonify]

My favorite part is always watching the people in the background, because... same.

[@JoeyContreras]

[@Creative_contour]

What you don’t know is that I would do anything for you What you don’t know is that I would do anything for you Love me love me not Counting petals on the floor Stop being so afraid to let our love become more Take me take me in I won’t let you down I’m not running I’m not leaving Today But you can think what you want There’s only so much I can do and you don’t see all that I am giving away And I’m asking for you to stay Stay love me love me not Counting petals on the floor (Counting petals on the floor) Stop being so afraid To let our love become more (Take me) (Take me) Take me in I won’t let you down I’m not running I’m not leaving I’m not hiding No I’m not lying I’m not wanting anybody else Today But you Just you (Just you) Just you just you just you just you just you Just you
