Jake Gyllenhaal sings "Across the Way"

As part of the 24 Hour Plays' Viral Monololgues, Jake Gyllenhall performs "Across the Way," an original musical piece -- a love story from 60 feet away -- written especially for him by Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire.

Someone suggested a live action for Rapunzel and I just thought you should be Flynn Rider because of your looks. Now I hear your voice, and yes, you sound like a prince from a Disney movie. ❤️

[@melyanyalessandrasophiamor2559]

Totally agree

[@The.Spectacular.Spider-Man1010]

Yes! 😭

[@EnciBaba1989]

Meg the first ti e now i rémember for beginning

[@debbieallen8396]

I did not know Jake could sing! I appreciate him as an actor and couldn't believe my ears when I heard him sing on SNL last night. I immediately googled him and discovered this video. What a talent!!

[@pseudolonelygirl]

His eyes... make me want to cry. He has these angelic, compassionate eyes that make you melt, and his voice matches his expression perfectly. He should do a Disney prince.

[@cleonicesilva9060]

Exactly!🙏👏🌷🙋💞🌺🌼💙💜🙌🌹🌻🌸

[@castronator29]

I want a movie about that. With that song. With him.

[@nataliamackevics8583]

Yes! Such a suspense in the end! It MUST be a TV series!

[@michaelheintz8853]

I never knew he could sing. Jake has the most gorgeous eyes God ever bestowed on a human being.

[@cleonicesilva9060]

I agree, very very beautiful, you see the soul through his eyes.😍💙💙💙💝

[@stevie1516]

this man makes me smile like an idiot and i don’t blame him

[@cleonicesilva9060]

I agree🌷

disney prince singing voice

[@kruggyy]

I wish I was this talented

[@EvelynCH-m4p]

After seeing Guy Ritchie's the Covenant I search for jake and found this 2020 beautiful piece. I am mind blooming that how he perform so much emotional detail in both expression and voice to tell the story in 4min. watching this is like enjoying a Disney short animation and I can't stop looping it. Just love it. Thank you for uploaded this work. And thank you to the composer and playwright, too!

[@maryyanetlibonatti]

Coincido contigo. Hace 20 años que vi a Jake en una película y en mi adolescencia me enamoré de él. Vi muchos de sus trabajos a lo largo de estos años. Pero después de ver THE COVENANT no he podido dejar de ver a Jake. Sus películas, sus entrevistas y todo lo que él hace tan bien. Amo su personalidad, su arte, su honestidad y esa mirada tan noble y transparente que tiene el poder de transportarte hacia todas las emociones posibles.

[@luciana13088]

I love his voice❤his lips, his smile, his eyes. everything

[@courtneymilner6062]

If 2:50 doesn’t make you smile like an idiot what’s wrong with you 😂

[@cleonicesilva9060]

"Hello Anthony, my name is Nice" A super charismathic and spontaneous guy. We always be my favorite. 💞

Lyrics Another day in lockdown as panic grips the nation Another day of quarantine and utter isolation Thank god I have a window Thank god I have a view Across the street, another window And in that window, is you Day 21 I noticed you, you played the clarinet Day 24 you sort of waved and that was how we met Day 29 at 2am we both were up too late I poured some wine, you raised a glass like we were on a date A really nice first date You there across the way Just above the shuttered sushi bar I dont know your name and I dont know who you are But sixty feet has never felt so close So close and yet so far Day 32 I washed my hands, you made a cornish hen Day 36 you sewed a mask, I washed my hands again Day 43 we both ate lunch on window sills that day We felt the breeze and dreamed of France, a chic outdoor cafe A très bien café You there across the way Laughing as I play my air guitar I dont know your name and I dont know who you are But sixty feet has never felt so close So close and yet So far I'm asymptomatic except for a bad case of FoMO And a slightly distressing unhealthy obsession With governor Andrew Cuomo Wouahahahah ! ;) Day 48 yeah thats today I see your beaming face You're holding up a handmade sign that says my name is Grace Grace Of course your name is grace You there across the way Just above the shuttered sushi bar Now I know your name and I want to know who you are But sixty feet has never felt so close So close and yet So close and yet Hello Grace, my name is Anthony

[@SophieLucy]

Im lying in bed at 2am and this made my eyes tear up! His voice is so beautiful and so is he, what a sweet song about lockdown, I've melted! 😍🥲

[@wannie3441]

honestlyyyy, he'd sound so good as flynn and amanda seyfriend as rapunzel in tangled live action 😭😭😭

[@valeriachernizova1209]

Oh, I love this guy! He's brilliant, absolutely charming, so great as a person and as an actor! Wish you all the best in your life, Jake!

[@selenusten6040]

[@hertuydas8094]

Great actor 👏❤

[@dagnabbit6187]

Well I am too old a man to be jealous . Many of us ,myself included , can sing but most of us don’t have that tenor blessing or if we did , we lost it a long time ago . Of course nothing wrong with settling into a baritone or bass but still we have that yearning for days of yore . Jake Gyllenhall , a very talented , diversely talented young man !

[@gabrielb.b.5154]

Your voice is so lovely and sweet a very good love song in middle of quarentine and you turn to the teather is so great. My congrats.

[@idkidk-b2y]
