That was astounding!!!! Perfection. Perfect pitch. So emotional and beautiful. “Evan” doesn’t have to be a man but can be a woman as well, clearly! You knocked this out of the park!!! Your voice cuts right through class. You have such a special gift. Keep singing and sharing it with the world!!! Brava!!!!!!!

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

This is beautiful, but I have a question. How do open up your voice so that you can sing the power notes? Anyone have any advice?

[@nietzopaniquen]

Old video I know, but does someone know where I can find the accompaniment for this one? This one is the perfect key for me and I really wanna cover this song 💕

[@ClaireMarieSpencer]

Anique van Wieren hi! I would be happy to record a piano accompaniment in this key. I recorded it myself for this video but did not save it. I can do it again, if you are willing to pay me for it. Let me know if that works for you!

WHO THE HECK IS CUTTING ONIONS?? DX

[@haileycrowe6101]

What key is this!? Its perfect

[@ClaireMarieSpencer]

Hey, thanks for the view! This starts in the key of E-flat, I found it to be the most doable for a tenor song with such a big range.

[@cami1361]

who knew someone could sing my favorite part of this song "all i ever do is run" better than ben platt himself. amazing!!!! this is the best cover i've ever seen out of this song and every cover ever honestly

[@Lemon-rc5tn]

Does anyone know how this part is transposed from the original?

[@ClaireMarieSpencer]

Hi! I sang this in E Flat while the original is in G major, so I lowered it a Maj 3rd.

[@Lemon-rc5tn]

@@ClaireMarieSpencer Thank you! I want to do this song fir my junior recital and it feels good in this key

god is a woman, and her name is claire

[@icantsaveus8506]

this is good but, you cant hear the raw emotion of the song? and it kinda ruins it

[@BlackKnight413]

icant•saveus really? I can hear it. Maybe it’s more of a suttle emotion

[@luna-mo3ol]

I just found this, beautiful! And can I just ask, would there be any chance that the instrumental you composed for this could be made available? I've tried finding female key instrumentals on youtube but they're all too low, and this one is the only perfect one I've found 🥲
