[@1twilighter4life]

you need to breathe to sing... high notes...

[@Lucy.andress]

Dorian Crimmins it's easier to work up instead of just hitting it.

[@1twilighter4life]

It's better technique to have a good vocal onset, a full breath, and to hit the note in the center.

seems like you dont know anything about singing lol

[@oliver297]

Notice how he's shifting his feet and holding his arm like it has a cast on it

its probably a habit for him because hes so used to playing Evan

[@elenikiroy]

@@delaneyyy813 Thanks for explaining that 🤓

[@dragongem124]

You can see this kind of thing in actors who played the same role for a long time. My absolute favorite example is Jeremy Jordan whenever he sings Santa Fe. He immediately slips back into being Jack. It's pretty cool to see.

[@heatherwright4709]

He's also doing ticks that most won't notice. I suffer from social anxiety and noticed his fingers fiddling and him adjusting the bottom of his shirt a few times. That's what we do we're uncomfortable around people so we'll fidgit with whatever we can to take our mind off of it.

[@agreenpar]

The "when your falling in a forest and there's nobody around." Being repeated over and over and over again. Fun fact: That's exactly what anxiety sounds like.

[@oliviaminchello1516]

HiMyNameisPeter I tried to explain this to people and they don't get it

[@agreenpar]

Olivia Minchello Not very many people who don't experience anxiety do, but for somebody who has suffered from moderate to severe anxiety for about 12+ years, I totally get it.

[@laurenhargreaves13]

HiMyNameisPeter yes. When I heard this song I loved that that part so perfectly encapsulated that anxious feeling of running thoughts in your head. The writers are geniuses.

[@honeyingkai4349]

Lourdes he probably has clones that performs in each Broadway show at the same time, and he's actually just chillin' with LMM

[@christinabeeghly5180]

I just think it's so crazy how he can't sing this song with the mike on the stand. He has to take it off to do the nervous ticks that Evan has.

[@chunksthemonkey1]

I mean probably, he's played the character for such a long time, and that's how he usually does the song :P Although it's not all that, Ben Platt does a lot of physicalization with his singing. When he's doing riffs, trills, or moments where there's a lot of variation in his notes he tends to make motions that 'help' him with it or represent what he's doing. And more than that, high notes upon other things he does the same. He moves his fingers rapidly, lifts his knees, leans back, and what not. A lot of it may also be just naturally him.

[@trans20gayteen]

chunksthemonkey1 Apparently he has to get physical therapy in order to not act like Evan all the time.

[@chunksthemonkey1]

Physical therapy or regular therapy? ;P Regardless, damn I believe it. That's such a powerful role to play, I can't imagine!

[@echenexcetera5702]

This is more mid and late 2000s pop than mid/late 2010s pop because modern pop is more computers and auto tune than natural voices and actual instruments

He is a perfect Evan Hansen lol even outside the theatre... His sweat, neck veins, looking like struggling with high notes, blank and confused expression dammmn

[@illythewisp]

I think it's his anxiety pumping through his body. Ever since he got the role of being Evan, it became worse. He constantly bit his nails, hunched his shoulders, and other nervous ticks. He is always nervous even in interviews, either he talks too fast, or sweats rapidly. I'm just glad he got through it and became strong. I definitely idolize this man in every way possible.

[@鷲尾桃]

HE KEEPS THINKING ABOUT HIS HANDS SWEATING AND IT MAKES THEM SWEATIER BECAUSE HE WAS THINKING ABOUT THEM BEING SWEATY SO HE PUT THEM UNDER THE HAND DRYER BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE THEM LESS SWEATY IT JUST MADE THEM REALLY HOT NOW AS WELL.

[@n.k.7208]

I think the character was written for him wasn’t it?

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

Sometimes I wonder if Ben is fed up with singing this song because he's sung it on so many interviews, at so many press events and 8 shows a week! But he stil sounds amazing singing it!

Meghan Robertshaw I wondered the same thing but then I realized I sing it this many times a day as well and I'm not tired of it. My family is though 😂

[@connor2669]

It’s actually his favorite one to perform. He loves how everyone embraces it and it really sets the mood of the rest of the play and gets things rolling and he loves that him performing it is what brings a lot of people to the show. He talked about it in an interview.

@DuckHunt(AxelRoxasXion) Yes, he goes on theraphy because of his anxiety. It became worse when he got the role, he constantly bit his nails and hunched his shoulders and had other nervous ticks. I'm just glad he took the role in the first place and became strong to give us all a wonderful lesson in the form of a musical. I definitely idolize this man in every way possible.

@@patrickcortis4910 He's not gay. (At least, not confirmed.) Just because he makes speeches on "embracing who you are" or being awkward doesn't mean he's not straight. Not to be rude, but you should probably stop assuming his sexuality before it gets even worse.

[@kotah1524]

If he was able to perform this incredibly difficult song without any mistakes then he could not be human. So I agree I like the title fumbles is works well with the song. Part of me wonders if the "mistakes" are part of it so almost bring the theme of anxiety and imperfection to the music as well.

LYRICS I've learned to slam on the brake Before I even turn the key Before I make the mistake Before I lead with the worst of me Give them no reason to stare No slipping up if you slip away So I got nothing to share No, I got nothing to say Step out, step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you've learned On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass I'm waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass I'm waving through a window, oh Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? We start with stars in our eyes We start believing that we belong But every sun doesn't rise And no one tells you where you went wrong Step out, step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you've learned On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass Waving through a window, oh Can anybody see, is anybody waving? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? It's like I never made a sound Will I ever make a sound? On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass Waving through a window, oh Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

[@pazz]

I think he was actively trying not to do as many of Evan Hansen’s nervous tics for this performance, but they still slip out on certain runs and on certain lines, because for him, the character is baked into this song (and likely every song from the show). He can’t help but BE Evan Hansen when performing this. What a great performer!

[@ramilcabela8675]

My wife and I saw Ben Platt in Dear Evan Hansen last Sunday (Oct. 22, 2017). Words fail to describe the immensity of this guy's talent. He has shattered all previous standards of excellence in theater performance for me. His portrayal of the Evan Hansen character was so visceral and palpable, he made the audience laugh and cry throughout the entire show. His interpretation of Pasek and Paul's music was beyond perfection. Where does he get that voice from? He scaled the high notes with controlled intensity and explosiveness that still sounded beautifully melodic. His falsetto is like raspy butter. And his vibrato is divine. Like many theater insiders say, he is a unicorn in the midst of elite talents. I absolutely agree with them. Thank you, Ben Platt, for sharing your talents. Looking forward to your album!
