Someone. Give this man. A main. BROADWAY. ROLE. Sidenote I chose this for an audition because of this video and this is one of the hardest song you could ever imagine, the range it covers, the storytelling, it's written to make it sound like you're sad and stressed and chasing the edge of the broken note an incredible thrill!!! Recommend to any vocalist
Such a brilliant rendition of this lovely song. One of the things I loved most about it was your choice to present it simply with just the upright piano sound and your fantastic voice…the slight twang accent in your tone…it just speaks to a life lived that the song needs too. I really loved hearing it with a male voice. Really…well done Sir. 🙌🙌❤️❤️
I love absolutely everything about this performance! Your voice is something truly special and I’m so happy that you’re sharing it with the world in this fabulous way. ❤️
What a time for country music! / and here I thought Orville Peck had the gay cowboy Elvis/ Roy Orbison angle all sewn up. I'm going to have to revisit that idea after hearing your BABY, YOU ALREADY WON. And I'll tell you why. I think he has a more melodramatic musical theater aspect to his voice whereas you seem to me to come by the drama in your voice more naturally. Either way, i wish you the greatest of success and since I have your attention i'd like to tip my hat to one who came before you, Mark Weigel.
Checking out Mark today! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to lil ole me! OP has done so much incredible work - I’m honored to even be mentioned in the same sentence. 😍💕
To be honest, after i have watched this video first time i thought that this is one your less popular videos, i really hope you will become popular because youre amazing!!
😅 gosh you are too kind! It was such a release of emotion after spending months to make the evening happen / kind of an homage to all the times I almost gave up (haha I replaced the idea of pregnancy/ having a child w the idea of my experience performing) again thank you!
The original song/story is from the perspective of a woman being pregnant so she is literally referencing 'a life growing inside her' and all the dreams she was not able to achieve prior. For me and as I interpret into my POV...that "life" is really more that feeling of something inside you. Maybe you're reflecting on where you are and it's not really how you thought you would be. Your inner voice speaking out and reminding you to keep living and keep fighting. I guess kind of like an inner dialogue with yourself / soliloquy.
these words written by Sara Bareilles have never sounded better 'I would give it all back for a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two for that boy that I knew he is messy, but he's kind he is lonely most of the time he is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie he is gone, but he used to be mine' he is me
He didn't change the lyrics, because the lyrics speaks about himself, so, if a male singer sing this it's correct to speak about a boy not a girl... Do you understand the lyrics?
@@yosoynatarajplenty of male vocalist have sang this song and they have not changed the lyrics. Only this one. It doesn’t fit. Sing the song like it should be.
My son has been struggling with a failed marriage and so much more. I sent this to him and he really liked it. So I’m praying that this song, these lyrics will be used in putting pieces back.
Dear C., I think there is no place or reason for searching apologies. You did great, and you knew it before that person took time to find debilitating reasons to compare. Thank you, thank you for the love. YOUR Love.
I ugly cry to this every day 🙏
🙏🏼🫂

The line that always gets me and makes me misty-eyed:
"She/He is hard on her/him self,
She/He is broken and won't ask for help."
Honestly me too. It’s such an intensely profound song
Wow what a voice!
Beautiful Interpretation…,🙏👍🏼🙌🏼🎊🎉❤
THE SOUND OF A BROKEN HEART AND SOUL .
Stunned at the beauty of this.
When passion finds a voice through which it expresses itself... Bravo!

😅 gosh you are too kind! It was such a release of emotion after spending months to make the evening happen / kind of an homage to all the times I almost gave up (haha I replaced the idea of pregnancy/ having a child w the idea of my experience performing) again thank you!
Wow 😊
Beautiful! It takes some proper talent to make a song your own, and you did it (I only got part way through Sara Bareille’s version…)🙂👍
IM IN TEARS! this is so raw and heartfelt. nice job such a beautiful voice
thank you
We can actually make a song "ours", as in adapting it to our emotional needs. A bit of open-mindedness helps this world to be a better place
Algorithm brought me here, I am glad. Truly amazing voice. :) Good luck !
I could watch you walk out and sit on that stool forever 🤩
Okay, I know everyone else has already said how amazing his voice is, but it's so true!! I feel disrespectful discovering this 8 months late
Not disrespectful at all; I’m so glad you found me! Thank you for the kind words
add another few months for me, but F**K, I'm glad I did
What key is this version in?
fuck! im not crying!
I’m crying. He’s doing it so well, I love his voice❤️🥰
What was that "of a life that's inside him"? It doesn't make sense to me...
The original song/story is from the perspective of a woman being pregnant so she is literally referencing 'a life growing inside her' and all the dreams she was not able to achieve prior. For me and as I interpret into my POV...that "life" is really more that feeling of something inside you. Maybe you're reflecting on where you are and it's not really how you thought you would be.

Someone knows in what key is he playing this song?
C maj
thank u @@corneliusversa, it´s beautiful!! congrats!!
Thank you so much!
wig: snatched
these words written by Sara Bareilles have never sounded better
'I would give it all back for
a chance to start over
and rewrite an ending or two
for that boy that I knew
he is messy, but he's kind
he is lonely most of the time
he is all of this mixed up
and baked in a beautiful pie
he is gone, but he used to be mine'
he is me
that's f***ing Obi-Wan Kenobi'
I'm wheezing! haha I can't unsee it
Is this just Ben Platt in a different accent?😂 either way I'm a fan lol
LOL! I cosplay as Ben on the weekends, how did you know? Thank you!
The original was about a pregnant woman, this one sounds like a man who was physically abused by his father as a child.
The original song is not about a pregnant woman-although the character of Jenna is pregnant when she sings the song in the context of the show.
Right sorry, I just meant that the song revolves around the story of a woman who happens to be pregnant.
I don’t like that you changed the lyrics. It just didn’t fit. Nice try tho
He didn't change the lyrics, because the lyrics speaks about himself, so, if a male singer sing this it's correct to speak about a boy not a girl... Do you understand the lyrics?

Ok brita
@britavega he's making his own version, he not trying to do it the same as everyone else. I personally love it the way he sings it. It's perfect❤
This is sara bareilles song im
Sorry he doesn’t do it justice not even close.
Sorry to let you down
