Words Fail | Dear Evan Hansen (Cover) MTM

Welcome back to Musical Theater Monday!! Today I am singing my favorite song from Dear Evan Hansen, Words Fail! If you don't know the show I'd imagine this song is pretty jaring as doesn't make a ton of sense out of context. If you haven't seen/listened to Dear Evan Hansen, you really should. Wish me luck btw y'all. Just came back from an audition with DEH and I'm hoping to get a callback! Next Evan Hansen? We can dream right?

LYRICS:
I never meant to make it such a mess
I never thought that it would go this far
So I just stand here sorry
Searching for something to say
Something to say
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
I guess I thought I could be part of this
I never had this kind of thing before
I never had that perfect girl
Who somehow could see the good part of me
I never had the dad who stuck it out
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
No mom who just was there
'Cause mom was all that she had to be
That's not a worthy explanation
I know there is none
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
And it's right there, right there, right there
In front of you
And you want to believe it's true
So you make it true
And you think maybe everybody wants it
And needs it, a little bit too
This was just a sad invention
It wasn't real, I know
But we were happy
I guess I couldn't let that go
I guess I couldn't give that up
I guess I wanted to believe
'Cause if I just believe
Then I don't have to see what's really there
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
And no one gets to look at it
No, no one can really see
'Cause 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
I never let them see the worst of me
'Cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
All I ever do is run
So how do I step in
Step into the sun?
Step into the sun
The awesome instrumental I used:
• Words Fail from Dear E...
Have a great day y'all!

Bro as soon as I saw this I knew I had to watch. This was awesome. I'm honestly surprised you haven't played him yet. You look and sound like an Evan it's ridiculous. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get it!!!!

[@Whobilly]

Thanks so much!!! Hoping to get a callback. I auditioned for them back in March and got a callback but didn’t hear from them again. So I went back yesterday. I think if I keep showing up I might get it some day

[@joegrela6052]

@@WhobillyPersistence is key sometimes! Honestly they would be silly not to take you. I love you so much dude you really inspire me to work hard to get better and keep the dream of being up there one day. Keep up with the covers on Mondays they are my favourites!!

[@CamoFFAArmy]

Sounded great, looking forward for the results on how the audition went!! I loved the whole thing but I appreciated the “worst of meeeee” part.. damn brought me to tears and I could see you as Evan! It’s a tough role but damn you can do it!! Would you please be able to cover Made Of Stone from “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame”

[@Whobilly]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! And that’s a great suggestion!

[@rekonzero6723]

Hey Austin, idk if you remember me but back in 2015 (basically when you first started making vids) we met in a random BO2 lobby. At the time I went by the name RekonZero. After we met we partied up and had the most in-depth conversations about video idea’s, channel progression, target audiences, you name it 😂 i remember I sold my Xbox and we lost contact but here you are popping up in my youtube feed 4 years later! What a trip, anyways man it’s good to see you’re still at it and doing better than ever. We should catch up if you actually remember who I am 😂 if not no worries

[@Whobilly]

I actually do remember wth hahaha. Happy you found me again! I miss those old days...

[@rekonzero6723]

Whobilly it was so random 😂 I got a email from your Twitter some how? Idk but glad I made my way back to your channel 🙌🏻

😶 NO WAY My favorite artist is Ben Platt who played Evan Hansen! My favorite KZbinr sang one or his songs and YOU MIGHT BECOME EVAN! HOW!? Everything about this is wonderful. Also, if you can sing a song by Ben Platt from his Sing To Me Instead album I'd DIE 😁

[@Beefynachoeater]

Can you please make a song about my KZbin channel

[@packblixty2147]

No. Stop. No TikTok. Please. No. Just don’t.

[@nathanfrewen4730]

So like your voice is incredible but I wish you sang the actual rhythm. I feel like you either back phase or push every single line and it makes the music uncomfortable. It’s fine to do that sometimes but in my opinion you did it a little too much. This is a friendly criticism. You are stupid talented, that was just my suggestion to make you better potentially :)

[@Whobilly]

Not only fair but accurate lol. The one thing I struggle with is rhythm/timing!!!
