    This is one of my new favorite crush songs. It's unconditionally admiring; its quiet and not forward; it's not impulsive; it's steadfast and isn't born of the heat of the moment. And yet it's not less loving than songs full of sexual passion. It's not sad or happy. It's solemn. There are no lyrics about him wanting to be with her. He's describing her beauty, not to woo her, but to show respect
    ----BTW I like to think of this song as a tad bit separate from Evan's character. It's not part of the musical, so I see the song from a generalized perspective, not Evan's.

      ​@@unmusicallyinclined I don't understand why this idea that Evan is an idiot seems like a very wrong perception to me. was he wrong? Yes, did he lie out of malice? No. In fact, he starts it in part to make the Murphys feel better. It was later as things progressed that he began to feel comfortable and loved, and that led him to be selfish but not ill-intentioned or idiotic. He was just a poor boy who felt alone, and who was going through mental illness. Just because he was wrong doesn't make him an idiot, it makes him human.

    Here are the lyrics ;-)
    [EVAN]
    When we know something is true beyond question or doubt
    There’s no particular point in pointing it out
    Blue is the color of sky
    Mothers all worry and old people die
    The phone rings, a bee stings
    It’s something you don’t need to hear
    It’s just clear
    Why go stating the obvious?
    It’s so painfully obvious
    How could you miss
    Something that’s this plain to see
    When it’s glaring and staring right at you
    So obviously?
    When you get bored you draw stars on the cuffs of your jeans
    You still fill out the quizes you find in those teen magazines
    And to dance like nobody’s there
    Awkward and perfect, you don’t even care
    Something courageous, amazing, contagious and kind
    All combined
    Why go stating the obvious?
    It’s so painfully obvious
    How could you miss
    Something that’s this plain to see
    When it’s glaring and staring right at you
    So obviously?
    Sometimes the words we tend to withhold
    Well, they’re exactly the words someone needs to be told
    But oh, thinking they know
    We never say I love you
    I love you, I love you
    I love you
    Cause why go stating the obvious?
    It’s so painfully obvious
    How could you miss
    Something that’s this plain to see
    When it’s glaring and staring right at you
    So obviously?

  • @flamehazelollipop
    @flamehazelollipop 5 років тому +178

    Honestly, when I first heard the song, I thought it was actually Connor singing to his sister (and not Evan 'telling her what he said'). It was as if he wanted to say that he really cared for his sister and didn't think he had to state the obvious (and as a teenage boy, probably felt embarrassed at the thought of talking about /feelings/).
    Even if he didn't say or show it, he cared for his sister, always watching out for her. He saw how he drew stars on the cuff of her jeans and still answers those questions on those teen magazines and how she danced like the rest of the world wasn't there. It felt as if he found all of those things endearing for him, but never showed her he did. They never really got to say that they loved each other because it felt awkward for him, for them. But he felt that it was painfully obvious, and it pained him to see that even though he thought it was obvious, no one saw through his real feelings.
    No one even knew how he was already falling down, drowning in his own thoughts and in need of help from someone who cared about him. He was silently crying for help and yet they missed something this plain to see.
    Imagine if this was included in the musical after "If I Could Tell Her". Evan tried expressing his feelings for Zoe by 'telling her what Connor said to him'---but what if Connor actually did feel as how Evan said? What if Connor actually really cared, watched over her, and wanted to express all those feelings...but had lost the chance to do so after taking his life?
    I kind of wished that the story gave more background on Connor and how he felt because that could help us understand what people like him go through. There are a lot of Connors out there thinking that their cry for help is painfully obvious, and that they cared about their loved ones even if they left this world.. I just see that there are so many people that still find suicide to be something selfishly done by someone. Just because they did it, it doesn't erase the fact that they loved their family, that they needed help, they needed someone.
    But nevertheless, the musical and all of its songs were amazing ♥️ Just sort of rambled there hahah 😅

      In the novel there are chapter's narrated by Connor in which we get to know more about him, his past and what happened the day he died. He actually had a person he cared deeply about and loved. His name was Miguel, he was his only and best friend and possibly even more, if things went different in his past school. Connor struggled showing his feelings to Miguel and letting him in his life so I think this song fits perfectly to this storyline. If there was a movie or version of the play that focused more on Connors perfect he could sing this song - as a "ghost" - after "If I Could Tell Her" so the song could start of being about Zoe (as you said) but then end up being about Miguel, as Connor reveal their relationship and remembers him

    This song would be so much more heartbreaking if it was Conner's point of view, it's like a parallel to 'If I could tell her' but it's actually him saying these things to Zoe. Especially since Zoe thought that her brother actually said all these things about her, she thought that maybe he actually cared and then she's told that the only time's Conner ever said anything nice or told her he loved her wasn't even true. Then he sings this and it's even worse because she won't ever know he actually did care about her. Or whatever, I explained that terribly.
    Edit: and then he's sort of blaming them for his suicide, -it was just so obvious, how could you not tell? I'm right here in front of your face so obviously broken and you won't even look at me-

    So obviously
    When you get bored you draw stars
    On the cuffs of your jeans
    You still fill out the quizzes you find
    In those teen magazines
    And you dance like nobody's there

    And kind
    All combined
    Why go stating the obvious?
    It's so painfully obvious
    How could you miss
    Something that's this plain to see?
    When it's glaring, and staring
    Right at you
    So obviously
    Sometimes the words
    We tend to withhold
    But they're exactly the words
    Someone needs to be told
    But oh, thinking they know
    We never say "I love you
    I love you
    I love you
    I love you"
    'Cause why go
    Stating the obvious
    It's so painfully obvious
    How could you miss
    Something that's this plain to see?
    When it's glaring, and staring right at you
    So obviously

    Did anyone else realize that in the first verse, it kinda sounds like Taylor says "Mothers all worry and we- old people die"? Like he almost said we die or something like that or am I reading too far into this??

    • @ryanfaure3120
      @ryanfaure3120 6 років тому +46

      I'm pretty sure he just holds the note for musical purposes but this is definitely something Evan would do 😂

      @BekkiBicci 5 років тому +28

      I think it sounds as if he slightly pauses because he was going to say something like “and everyone dies” but catches himself just before and changes it to “old people die”, which sort of subtly emphasises the musical’s tragedy of a young person dying. Now that I’m listening into it anyway, can’t say I noticed it too much the first time I heard it.

      He almost nothing. He simply sing
      "Mothers all worry, ann...
      ...nd old people die".
      That's just how he chose to style the lyrics. Other options were to hold the A, or hold nothing and just sing "and" all at once, last second.

    Being that he's a sings in musicals, this isn't auto-tuned, right? Cuz it sounds like it is, but I think...he just manages to sing that way...? If so, that's very impressive.
    In any case, I feel like it's too steady and professional-sounding to be the trainwreck that Evan is. Especially when being sung to Zoë. It definitely stands out as weird to me.

      @mintteaandhoney 5 років тому +44

      if i could tell her portrays Evan's character more. He wanted to be liked by people, stopping at nothing to get it once it falls into his lap, and he wants the girl, he wants ZOE. If i could tell her shows how creepy he is watching her all the time like that, to the point of knowing these things about her, past just simple admiration or a simple crush. He went to the lengths of using a kid's suicide to get close to his crush, or unhealthy obsession. As sweet as Obvious is, and as much as I love it, if i could tell her fits the show better. Obvious is more of a distant, softer portrayal of Evan's character.

    • @ssbpichu326
      @ssbpichu326 5 років тому +9

      I get that, however I feel like the song is too confident to be sung by Evan. Love the song! Think it is 10/10 however I think If I could Tell her did the job it needed to better.
