After watching this and going through the comments, I can't help but connect the light in their eyes with the line from Waving Through A Window *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*
I think I've figured it out. So the girl ( forgot her name but not the mother ) you could see the light fade slightly and- I watched this over and over again to figure it out. Their lights mean hope, feeling, and I saw mostly that when their lights faded when they became angry. So hope and feeling is what the lights mean ( My theory, I'm trying to see if there are more meanings.
i just realized something in the first act, evan's biggest problem was speaking out in the second act, evan's biggest problem was keeping his mouth shut
It hurts me a lot since at this point, I get the impression that Jared actually saw them as friends now, that them working on this lie together was kind of a way to connect the two, something special even as f*cked up as it was. And Evan was right, he didn’t really have friends, so I just- idk, I get so emotional about Jared and I felt like ranting about it for a hot second
Yeah, even though I never liked Jared as much, I feel like his reaction was pretty justified here. The way Evan spoke to him comes off like a pathological, liar gaslighting those around him to shut up and do what they’re told.
is no one going point out the fact that Evan is the only one with lights in his eyes. at the beginning his mother lost the lights too and I think that is so deep. it made me cry.
Gosh, the line, "You are the only...! The one good thing that's ever happened to me Evan!" always makes me a little teary-eyed. I have a friend who thinks like Evan, and she thinks she's a burden to her mom but this is what their relationahip seems more like to me.
The Amazing Gaming Idiots In my headcannon they do lol. They need eachother, theyre like eachothers only friend. Especially Jared, i mean hes so friendless he literally tries to insert himself into Evans fake friendship with Connor 😂
Also, you can see at the end Heidi's eyes have the light back in them. To me that's her realizing she'll forgive them and remembering how much she loves him, how she'll be there for him even with these mistakes. And oh my goodness I didn't think that small detail would make me cry
I cried at least three times in these five minutes - the dialogues, the expressions, the music, the acting, the hurt pride and irony, the hurtful truth, the struggles.... the feelings are just too much.
It's sad...At First Evan had nothing, but he treated those small things he had with respect...But now that he has a girlfriend and a perfect family to hang out with...He's crushing them under his foot and Karma's come to bite his ass... (Just the way Connor waved broke my heart)
Sorry, but no. Being a single mom is no excuse to being a shit parent. There's a reason why single motherhood is the highest cause of crime across the world. (Single fatherhood actually had relatively normal results to having 2 parents)
Mine too! I kinda cried during that talk between them and at the end when Jared says "asshole" you can hear his voice crack and it gets me everytime. 😭😭
At 1:32 when Evan says "well it's not my fault other people can" and you can almost hear the whole audience gasp and the look on Heidi's face just makes me break down 😭😭
Well A. He was tired of lying to everyone and B. That probably wouldve just made things worse. If he hadnt decided to tell the truth they wouldve all figured it out eventually imo.
It's basically about Evan, a guy who has anxiety and wants friends. Jared is his family-friend and only talks to Evan to have some money from his own mother. Connor treats Evan, but starts softening up. He writes his name on Evan's cast. Connor kills himself later, after he had stolen a letter Evan had to write to himself. Connor's parents finds the letter that says "Dear Evan Hansen" and "Sincerely me". Then, Evan can't help but start lying about his friendship with Connor. Just watch it. It's so goooooood!!
bRUH I've never heard the actual dialogue. this broke my heart and made me actually understand why they all acted the way they did. anyway, this animatic is a m a z i n G !
I didn't think it was possible, but the arguing before the actual song started made the entire thing so much worse, and all the stuff Evan said... it makes me hurt inside for his mother. Which I guess is the point.
I see a lot of people bashing on Evan for being so inconsiderate to everyone in the course of the play, but I'd like to point out something: this boy thought he was a burden to his mother. From the very beginning when his father left them it's very likely that he would start letting his imagination go wild and think it was his fault that his parents got separated. From the perspective of someone with an anxiety disorder, he would of probably tried to cause as minimal trouble as possible for his mother, and fail miserably because of his own illness. Anxiety and depressive disorders are very much real. Despite how popular they've become throught the years, there's still people out there who think it's just "in your head" or to "think positive", and even though it's partly true, there are times when you just can't control how you feel. You have a chemical imbalance that needs to be dealt with, and that doesn't make you weird or different. But most of us see it is as a burden, just like Evan. This boy was trying for years to get better, not just for his mother's sake but also his. He had feelings of guilt, inadequacy, self-hate, and to top it all off nobody ever bothered to look his way. If you mix that all together, you get an anti-social depressive teenager who only tries to fit in. In one point, sooner or later, we all burst from that kind of pressure. We're human after all. So how does Evan burst? By finally speaking his mind after keeping to himself for many years. And also by seeking the one true thing he always wanted: a family. I'm not justifying every single action he did, but I'm only putting some facts out there so you can also understand his side of the story. I think Heidi should give Evan some credit, since he's not really doing anything wrong by just staying with another family for certain days (leaving the whole Connor thing aside) Sure, he did a lot of bad things, I agree. But he was also suffering for a really long time.
I'm glad someone brought this up, it kind of feels like the point of the whole play is missed when Evan gets so thoroughly condemned as a bad person who did everything wrong by so many people We're supposed to be able to come away from this musical understanding how such a messy situation arose from non-malicious efforts. There IS no "bad guy" in this story, just bad choices made by flawed and damaged and burdened people. Not to mention if there was ever an age group known for not seeing how bad an idea is until they're too deep down the rabbit hole, it's high schoolers
Honestly, Evan was right. It wasn't his fault other people could provide for him better than his mom. No matter what the circumstances, if a situation is bad for you, you are allowed to leave it. It doesn't matter how hard they were trying. It wasn't good. He could still talk to her and be her son, but he doesn't have to live with her, he can move away
Phillipe young besides he tried repeatedly to tell them Connor didn’t write the letter but the Murphys pressured him into saying he did. Someone with such awful feelings of inadequacy and trying to please everybody would naturally try to do the less harm, and he thought he would do good without expecting it to blow up in his face. He fucked up big time but he didn’t do it with a malicious intent.
@@mexa_t6534 I'd highly suggest reading the novel which was written by the people who wrote the play (so it says) I'll be blunt Evan is a lot less sympathetic tbh. In like chapter two he says he doesnt want people of the same social status signing his cast. Like it adds characterization, but more negative than positive at least in the beginning
THE EXTRA AUDIO. DIDN'T SEE ALL THAT COMING. HHGN ;;w;; also stay safe, my friendo! yeah, our homeland's under a lot of turmoil and there seems no sign of stopping soon, but I'll be praying.. :'(
That fight in the beginning is so painfully accurate to how it feels when you fight with your parents. Especially if you have anxiety and depression. The super fast talking, the saying things you regret later, the bitter feeling that's left, and the anger when your parents are trying to "fix" you. It sucks in retrospect. This musical is so accurate. Also, side note: I heard on another post with this song that this is all in Evan's head? At least the singing parts, because Heidi wouldn't sing what she sings knowing it would give him a panic attack. The spoken parts are probably real though. The singing is just anxiety kicking the fights into overdrive.
This has been my favorite Good For You animatic ever since I got into the fandom. To be honest, my most favorite animatic in the Dear Evan Hansen fandom
Excuse me, I did not give you permission to break my heart and make me cry. Also the extra audio hurt really bad. You could hear that Jared was actually about to cry when he said asshole, breaks my heart.
I still love Jared's voice in his first part, the animation makes him look really cool as well (I replay his first part almost non-stop when I listen to Good For You xD)
This is my favorite version of the song because it not only adds his mom's intro dialogue, but the mid way dialogue. It really gives the song the perfect context
@@robertparker3613 okay, first off, Evan didn't "become an asshole". He had anxiety and was struggling with depression. He started out thinking he was giving the murphys closure, but it went downhill, and he started cracking under the pressure of upholding this lie that he thought was doing people good. When people with anxiety and depression are backed into a corner like that, it can make them self destruct. In other words, he was starting to become like connor mentally. You obviously haven't watched the musical because if you did, you wouldn't just simply say that Evan "became an asshole".
@@faithcoates2540 I mean, to be fair, there were several ways Evan could've made things better. Like maybe telling the truth, explaining what he did wrong. I understand that he was under pressure, anxiety and depression... can demolish any man, let alone a child. But instead of that, he decided to lash out at everybody, even his own mother. So he made stupid decisions, so he lied, so he basically covered up another's mental state. It was on him for letting it all pile up. It was on him for refusing to open up about it. It was on Evan that, instead of trying to explain, he lashed out to and lost those he held dear, even though he was trying to keep them happy.
I don't usually comment, but this is amazing and embarrassingly brought me to have watery eyes. This is wonderfully done and it's just filled with so much emotion. Thank you for making this
1:32 - 1:34 *Well it's not my fault other people can* In every Mexican household: *throws chancla* Soy tu mama! Mira con quien esta hablando pendejo!(I am your mother! Watch who you're talking to idiot!) (Legit that's how my mom would react to me talking to her like that)
You know what I noticed? This is darker and emotional than other videos made by you. The first part " *Are they giving you a world I could never provide?* " That's the part that makes me cry.
Ros, ( I'm proud that you even cried. It comes to show. It doesn't matter who watches )That part is so relatable. It's like when you lose someone you care about. In this case, it's how he didn't tell his mother what he was doing, and I guess... Ended up worse than before. ( Because his mom and freakin' friends had to sing about it being a problem )
I'm so glad you added the audio! It really added to the context of the song for me since I can't find Act 2 to watch anywhere ;P Amazing job! The expressions were beautiful and I think this really told the story well!
Okay, I'm late as heck, but I just wanna point this out: Guys, the curtains are there because it's all an *act* Evan is telling one big lie to the public, but when he is questioned behind the scenes (Alana seeing the flaws in the emails and Jared threatening to reveal the truth), everything starts falling apart. He knows what he is doing is wrong, but he still believes there is no going back, so he continues to act in this new role he has written for himself. Heidi and Alana saying *"I'll just sit back while you run the show"* only amplifies that this friendship with Connor isn't real. But then again, maybe I'm just over analyzing this. Either way, this is a beautiful and emotional animatic! I can only imagine the effort put into this! Major kudos to you!
My favorite part is the “Stop it! stop it! Just let me go!” It shows that Evan didn’t want all of this to happen but he got dragged into this because of the Murphy’s mistake that Connor wrote the letter that Evan actually wrote to himself. Evan didn’t want to let the Murphy’s down, so he did all he could to keep them happy and he tried his best, even though he was lying.
I really, really love the facial expressions. Just... ah. Utter perfection. And wow, this was intense o.o Speaking of tense, it's becoming increasingly dangerous sa Phil... Please be careful, Ate Ros. Take care of yourself and I hope you have fun with camp with everyone else! *huggles* I'll be praying for all of us. I wish I could donate but alas, I don't have anything to give right now except my support TwT)
Oh my god i love this so much- this song is one of my favorites like it shows the burdens of the other characters, my favorite characters. Wish they'd give jared more uh how do i say this i wish they'd elaborated jared's character more tho
Ros Mo -he's more than just eating bathbombs okay- they've said it themselves that jared is a sophisticated character so im just???? I n eED tH e bO oK
Hayley Smith hahaha! We all need the book! I wish they'd shown more of Jared, but I mean, it's evan's musical. I wish Jared will have a musical too haha...haha. Pls.
Ros Mo ah well that's true xD but i meant like at least shine a little bit more light on him bc he is one of the key characters- since y'know he had a major influence on evan's decision to lie but yeah -may or may not be salty about the fact that will has very little linesahahahh(getsslapped)-
Ros, you're one of my favorite UA-camrs even though you don't upload very often. I understand the entire animation process! I am an artist with a very similar art style. I honestly really want to donate to you but I do not have the money. Sorry.
ive watched this so many times and it just hits me so hard everytime, and the art is just so good. v creative, how the transition frm evan's mom to the speaking parts is a curtain closing. it really sells how evan is taken off guard by alana's questions because she suddenly barges behind the curtain. also the way connor waves goodbye shows how evan thought of how connor has 'abandoned' him, when in previous scenes he was supporting him. evan's mind takes a form in connor's shape, i guess. i cannot stress how amazing this is, btw
Hearing the song with the dialogue puts things in a whole new perspective. When I first heard it I felt like everyone else was being jealous and now knowing how badly Evan hurt them and lied just, wow.
I love this song it really shows how much Jared relies on Evan to be his friend, and how he uses his snarky comments as a defensive way to hide his emotions. It really shows he's not just a jerk and he knows what it's like to feel like nobody cares, and how he though he and Evan were friends. Jared is the best character. You. Can't. Change. My. Mind.
I've heard good for you in just the pure song form, but never with the dialogue and I'm gonna say that this hurts me more than the actual song does. Beautiful concept and art!
HEIDI] So you found a place where the grass is greener And you jumped the fence to the other side Is it good? Are they giving you a world I could never provide? Well I hope you're proud of your big decision Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before And you say what you need to say So that you get to walk away It would kill you to have to stay trapped When you've got something new Well I'm sorry you had it rough And I'm sorry I'm not enough Thank God they rescued you So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you, you Got a taste of a life so perfect So you did what you had to do Good for you Good for you ALANA] Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry? Do you even care that you might be wrong? Was it fun? Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along [JARED] And you say what you need to say And you play who you need to play And if somebody's in your way Crush them and leave them behind [JARED & ALANA] Well I guess if I'm not of use Go ahead, you can cut me loose Go ahead now, I won't mind [HEIDI] I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go Is that good for you? Would that be good for you, you, you? [HEIDI & ALANA] I'll just sit back while you run the show Is that good for you? Would that be good for you, you, you? EVAN] All I need is some time to think But the boat is about to sink Can't erase what I wrote in ink Tell me how could I change the story? All the words that I can't take back Like a train coming off the track 'Cause the rails and the bolts all crack I've got to find a way to Stop it, stop it! Just let me out! ALANA, JARED, & HEIDI] So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you, you Got a taste of a life so perfect Now you say that you're someone new Good for you Good for you Good for you Good for you So you got what you always wanted.
Me:Really well drawn but the movements seem to lack ene- *Suddenly symbolic curtain* Also Me: I mean that's creative as fuck but i still think that- *Suddenly Connor* Me as well: I didn't like my eyes being dry anyway.
Ros Mo NP all your video are the best your videos need to be known to everyone (at least what I think but I believe it it will be known to everyone one day)
I love how Evan tried to reason with them during the whole part where they're all singing. Like he knows he messed up but doesn't want to give up what he created because it's what kept him from going back to his depression state. Man Evan...eat a snickers...
aHHHH i'm not that familiar with DEH but this made me want to know the whole story ;--; AND THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE SOOO ON POINT ATE CJ KUDOS TO YOU AS ALWAYS !
As someone with anxiety who once set up a string of useless lies to keep a guy I dated for a good while... shit I felt the suffocation and the pressure and just the crushing. The story behind this is so deep and powerful. Yeah Evan is definitely a jerk but... dude when all you want is to be important and feel special and you finally have a way to hold onto that... I don’t know I just get it. And its intense.
This song is an absolute masterpiece! It captures the emotion of the moment perfectly, and if this emotion wasn't released, Evan wouldn't have confessed so quickly.
This is my favorite animatic of this song, seeing Jared and Alana throw Evan at his mother’s feet just in time for her entrance gets me EVERY TIME it’s so good!!!!!!
around 3:21 when Alana says she can understand what it feels like to feel alone/invisible/etc like Connor, I felt really bad for her and Evan both because for one after Evan finally spoke his mind about what he thinks she was doing (trying to look better for college/whatever) he gets told that she relates to not only Connor, but secretly to Evan because he always feels like that, like he's completely alone. but of course he can't say that now because of the situation he got himself into.
Hahaha, Evan, this isn't the time to smiLE LIKE EVERYTHING'S OKAY. ahem. I loooove it. :3 Good luck on your trip to camp! yeh, ganyan talaga ang Philippines. Will pray for safety!
I like how the highlights go out of course. But I think it's even more impressive how his mothers eyes got their highlights back near the end, it's really true that at the end of the play, she's the only one he really is able to keep as a close person in his life.
I've never been able to go watch the musical of this and at first I didn't really understand this song but those extra parts really helped me to better understand it and it had a lot of emotion this is wonderful
I just recently found out what this musical was about. I LOVE ALL THE SONGS,JUST DIDNT KNOW THE STORY!! then I found out Connor killed himself....I AM DEAD CRYING RIGHT NOW GOD DANGINTTTTTTTTTTT

After watching this and going through the comments, I can't help but connect the light in their eyes with the line from Waving Through A Window
*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*
Kelly Swan This is the most accurate comment I've seen
Kelly Swan I personally thought that the lights we're their hope for Evan.
Lui Lulu the lights represent more than one meaning, if you notice their dialogues and timing. So you're not wrong. ^^
I think I've figured it out. So the girl ( forgot her name but not the mother ) you could see the light fade slightly and- I watched this over and over again to figure it out. Their lights mean hope, feeling, and I saw mostly that when their lights faded when they became angry. So hope and feeling is what the lights mean ( My theory, I'm trying to see if there are more meanings.
A Smoll Potato that's good!!
i just realized something
in the first act, evan's biggest problem was speaking out
in the second act, evan's biggest problem was keeping his mouth shut

Agreed
It hurts me a lot since at this point, I get the impression that Jared actually saw them as friends now, that them working on this lie together was kind of a way to connect the two, something special even as f*cked up as it was. And Evan was right, he didn’t really have friends, so I just- idk, I get so emotional about Jared and I felt like ranting about it for a hot second
Student Catherine Robinson like your profile pic
Hear Evan saying “STOP IT STOP IT” makes me cry so much
Same.
And when he says 'just let me out!'
I start bawling instantly.
uGH IT MAKES MY HEART HURT SO MUCH
KONO DIO DA yea but he is an asshole especially in the book 😂
DIO cries?
same. I felt like he couldn't take in what was happening and it was so overwhelming and it just needed to stop. and I just want to cry
I never thought I could feel so emotional over somebody yelling "ASSHOLE!" But here we are ladies and gentlemen, I'm crying.
SAME
I actually cried! You can hear the pain in his tone
Yeah, even though I never liked Jared as much, I feel like his reaction was pretty justified here. The way Evan spoke to him comes off like a pathological, liar gaslighting those around him to shut up and do what they’re told.
Idk why buy I really love Jared's voice
Meme Squad same bruh
Me too man. Me too😔
K¡ng :/ same
It really shines on _"crush them and leave them behind"_
Same
The way Jared's voice shook when he said, "-asshole"
My poor baby don't cry he doesn't deserve it
JoJokes Giggle ;~; truuueee
I think the part when the white light in Jared's flickers and disappear completely made that sentence even more powerful.

ewgross love how he just lost the point he just made, got pissed and just yelled asshole lmao,
Truee... poor Jared.
is no one going point out the fact that Evan is the only one with lights in his eyes. at the beginning his mother lost the lights too and I think that is so deep. it made me cry.

Jensine Cabo Lol chill I just pointed it out I didn't see anyone else say anything so I wanted to make sure people noticed.
Gosh, the line, "You are the only...! The one good thing that's ever happened to me Evan!" always makes me a little teary-eyed. I have a friend who thinks like Evan, and she thinks she's a burden to her mom but this is what their relationahip seems more like to me.
And that part where Jared said "asshole" gosh I felt my heart drop
Evan’s and his mom’s relationship reminds me of me and my mom
Wu-Oh It's me Cat Honestly I feel the same way
I was Crying!
I think like hat too
I watch this is much and when Evan says "it's not my fault other people can" you can hear the crowd quietly just like "Evan wth why"

Especially Jared, i mean hes so friendless he literally tries to insert himself into Evans fake friendship with Connor 😂
As someone’s who has never seen DEH (But is still obsessed) I didn’t know they never make up so now I’m sad again. Dammit...
I mean, I wouldn't.
Oh no, oh god
HammerMeister1999 That's why I ship Jared x Evan more than Connor x Evan
*_I like how overtime, the light in everyone's eyes fade away._*
Socially- -Awkward good observation!
Socially- -Awkward same I like how it just fades away
I just noticed the moment they faded from Jared's eyes and my heart broke
Also, you can see at the end Heidi's eyes have the light back in them. To me that's her realizing she'll forgive them and remembering how much she loves him, how she'll be there for him even with these mistakes. And oh my goodness I didn't think that small detail would make me cry

S1 Prodigy crying
Why didn't Evan just suggest that maybe Connor was lying to Evan in the letters.
Jenny Hubbard There would be not story to tell XDD
Well A. He was tired of lying to everyone and B. That probably wouldve just made things worse. If he hadnt decided to tell the truth they wouldve all figured it out eventually imo.
Shut your face and allow us to continue our irrational crying. We don't need your logic and common sense trying to fix our emotions

Because then the musical wouldn't be able to have the "lying is bad" thing smh
I Know!! I was hoping so bad

bearandrocky1 wow! Really! That's great! This is a great musical. Thank God!
It's basically about Evan, a guy who has anxiety and wants friends. Jared is his family-friend and only talks to Evan to have some money from his own mother.
Connor treats Evan, but starts softening up. He writes his name on Evan's cast.
Connor kills himself later, after he had stolen a letter Evan had to write to himself. Connor's parents finds the letter that says "Dear Evan Hansen" and "Sincerely me".
Then, Evan can't help but start lying about his friendship with Connor. Just watch it. It's so goooooood!!
bearandrocky1 you should really check it out if you have the time
DrawTwist where can I watch it 😢

i have not heard the spoken part before thats so intense omg

You're the one good thing thats ever happened to me Evan!

am I the only one who noticed how the glimmer in everyone's eyes disappeared throughout thier arguments with evan
Gwyneth Myers I hope people will^^
Definitely not
I did
Ros Mo I did for Jared definitely the way Jared’s flicker
I love how realistically the hair moves- like that's such a minor thing but I love it so much
bRUH I've never heard the actual dialogue.
this broke my heart and made me actually understand why they all acted the way they did.
anyway, this animatic is a m a z i n G !
Haven't seen the play, but I really want to.
...
Is it bad that I think Jared sounds like a god even tho he's yelling?...

I love that you can hear the audience murmuring like "ohhh nooo Evan.. what is you doiiinnn..."
THE STOP IT STOP IT PArT MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME!!!
Kate Anderson I KNOW RIGHT
Y E A H
I didn't think it was possible, but the arguing before the actual song started made the entire thing so much worse, and all the stuff Evan said... it makes me hurt inside for his mother. Which I guess is the point.
Ikr I love it
The way Jared’s eye glow flickered out killed me
Now I’m crying because of that...
Wait, time??
I see a lot of people bashing on Evan for being so inconsiderate to everyone in the course of the play, but I'd like to point out something: this boy thought he was a burden to his mother.
From the very beginning when his father left them it's very likely that he would start letting his imagination go wild and think it was his fault that his parents got separated. From the perspective of someone with an anxiety disorder, he would of probably tried to cause as minimal trouble as possible for his mother, and fail miserably because of his own illness.
Anxiety and depressive disorders are very much real. Despite how popular they've become throught the years, there's still people out there who think it's just "in your head" or to "think positive", and even though it's partly true, there are times when you just can't control how you feel. You have a chemical imbalance that needs to be dealt with, and that doesn't make you weird or different.
But most of us see it is as a burden, just like Evan. This boy was trying for years to get better, not just for his mother's sake but also his. He had feelings of guilt, inadequacy, self-hate, and to top it all off nobody ever bothered to look his way. If you mix that all together, you get an anti-social depressive teenager who only tries to fit in.
In one point, sooner or later, we all burst from that kind of pressure. We're human after all. So how does Evan burst? By finally speaking his mind after keeping to himself for many years. And also by seeking the one true thing he always wanted: a family.
I'm not justifying every single action he did, but I'm only putting some facts out there so you can also understand his side of the story.
I think Heidi should give Evan some credit, since he's not really doing anything wrong by just staying with another family for certain days (leaving the whole Connor thing aside)
Sure, he did a lot of bad things, I agree. But he was also suffering for a really long time.
I'm glad someone brought this up, it kind of feels like the point of the whole play is missed when Evan gets so thoroughly condemned as a bad person who did everything wrong by so many people
We're supposed to be able to come away from this musical understanding how such a messy situation arose from non-malicious efforts. There IS no "bad guy" in this story, just bad choices made by flawed and damaged and burdened people. Not to mention if there was ever an age group known for not seeing how bad an idea is until they're too deep down the rabbit hole, it's high schoolers
Honestly, Evan was right. It wasn't his fault other people could provide for him better than his mom. No matter what the circumstances, if a situation is bad for you, you are allowed to leave it. It doesn't matter how hard they were trying. It wasn't good. He could still talk to her and be her son, but he doesn't have to live with her, he can move away
Thanks
Phillipe young besides he tried repeatedly to tell them Connor didn’t write the letter but the Murphys pressured him into saying he did. Someone with such awful feelings of inadequacy and trying to please everybody would naturally try to do the less harm, and he thought he would do good without expecting it to blow up in his face. He fucked up big time but he didn’t do it with a malicious intent.
@@mexa_t6534 I'd highly suggest reading the novel which was written by the people who wrote the play (so it says) I'll be blunt Evan is a lot less sympathetic tbh. In like chapter two he says he doesnt want people of the same social status signing his cast. Like it adds characterization, but more negative than positive at least in the beginning
I couldn’t watch the video. My vision was too blurry because of this strange salty liquid coming from my eyes???
Hyped Apple there called tears 😭
Hyped Apple same
Hyped Apple salty tears otf that's not normal
*They’re
john medina yes they are
THE EXTRA AUDIO. DIDN'T SEE ALL THAT COMING. HHGN ;;w;;
also stay safe, my friendo!
yeah, our homeland's under a lot of turmoil and there seems no sign of stopping soon, but I'll be praying.. :'(
Jeroine freakin took me a while with all those hahah thanks! And yah, you too! Stay safe! ^^
(whoa that was quick xD)
that was worth the effort haha. no prob :P
Jeroine I hope you and you’re friends and family are ok
I'm not crying.. I swear...
BTW YOUR DRAWINGS ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!! I L O V E YOU!!!
Monster high madness aww thank youuu^^ I never noticed that haha thanks for informing me!
I love how the lights on their eyes are there and after they talked it disappears
That fight in the beginning is so painfully accurate to how it feels when you fight with your parents. Especially if you have anxiety and depression. The super fast talking, the saying things you regret later, the bitter feeling that's left, and the anger when your parents are trying to "fix" you. It sucks in retrospect. This musical is so accurate.
Also, side note: I heard on another post with this song that this is all in Evan's head? At least the singing parts, because Heidi wouldn't sing what she sings knowing it would give him a panic attack. The spoken parts are probably real though. The singing is just anxiety kicking the fights into overdrive.
I like the way you drew Jared. Now I have a crush on both Jared and Will lol 😊
Anette Moreno same here
Same-
This has been my favorite Good For You animatic ever since I got into the fandom. To be honest, my most favorite animatic in the Dear Evan Hansen fandom
Insideric Takes thank God! I'm happy you liked it. ^^
Ros Mo You replied, woah! Now I saved this offline, I'll keep watching this over and over because this is the best 💙💙💙
Insideric Takes really? Enjoy then! God Bless! ^u^
Ros Mo btw, saan ka nakatira sa Pilipinas? God Bless you! ^_^
Insideric Takes Haha, I'll try to answer as vague as possible but I will in luzon, Manila. ^^
Excuse me, I did not give you permission to break my heart and make me cry.
Also the extra audio hurt really bad. You could hear that Jared was actually about to cry when he said asshole, breaks my heart.
Biscuit Sketches while making this, it broke my heart too ;~; Truuu Jared did sound like it
Biscuit Sketches ikr it breaks my heart Jared doesn’t deserve this
I still love Jared's voice in his first part, the animation makes him look really cool as well
(I replay his first part almost non-stop when I listen to Good For You xD)
This is my favorite version of the song because it not only adds his mom's intro dialogue, but the mid way dialogue. It really gives the song the perfect context
It was all going well until this song happened...fml
It went downhill when Evan became an asshole-
@@robertparker3613 okay, first off, Evan didn't "become an asshole". He had anxiety and was struggling with depression. He started out thinking he was giving the murphys closure, but it went downhill, and he started cracking under the pressure of upholding this lie that he thought was doing people good. When people with anxiety and depression are backed into a corner like that, it can make them self destruct. In other words, he was starting to become like connor mentally.
You obviously haven't watched the musical because if you did, you wouldn't just simply say that Evan "became an asshole".
let's be honest, it was an emotional rollercoaster that went straight downhill from beginning to end
So its basically the murphys fault because they're the ones that invited his mom to dinner!
@@faithcoates2540 I mean, to be fair, there were several ways Evan could've made things better. Like maybe telling the truth, explaining what he did wrong. I understand that he was under pressure, anxiety and depression... can demolish any man, let alone a child. But instead of that, he decided to lash out at everybody, even his own mother. So he made stupid decisions, so he lied, so he basically covered up another's mental state. It was on him for letting it all pile up. It was on him for refusing to open up about it. It was on Evan that, instead of trying to explain, he lashed out to and lost those he held dear, even though he was trying to keep them happy.
I don't usually comment, but this is amazing and embarrassingly brought me to have watery eyes. This is wonderfully done and it's just filled with so much emotion. Thank you for making this
Savannah Spicer I'm glad that you commented^^ I'm happy to hear your thoughts on this, God Bless! Thank you! To God be the Glory^^
The sad thing is; they think Evan is actually happy....
Ima Kiwi YEAH I KNOW
Jareds voice hurt me
and now I'm crying. jared. my son.

1:32 - 1:34 *Well it's not my fault other people can*
In every Mexican household: *throws chancla* Soy tu mama! Mira con quien esta hablando pendejo!(I am your mother! Watch who you're talking to idiot!) (Legit that's how my mom would react to me talking to her like that)
Ivette Agapito HAHAHA same goes for the philippines.
Ros Mo 😂😂
Every Hispanic household in general XD
theS1CKson S1 Prodigy Yup X'D

This is so good, oh my god...
You know what I noticed? This is darker and emotional than other videos made by you. The first part " *Are they giving you a world I could never provide?* " That's the part that makes me cry.
A Smoll Potato that part made me cry while making it ;-; haha. Yes, I tried my best to make you feel how heavy Evan's feeling
Ros, ( I'm proud that you even cried. It comes to show. It doesn't matter who watches )That part is so relatable. It's like when you lose someone you care about. In this case, it's how he didn't tell his mother what he was doing, and I guess... Ended up worse than before. ( Because his mom and freakin' friends had to sing about it being a problem )
A Smoll Potato haha yah, the more I think about the little details of each of their emotions, it breaks me.
I'm so glad you added the audio! It really added to the context of the song for me since I can't find Act 2 to watch anywhere ;P Amazing job! The expressions were beautiful and I think this really told the story well!
Demon_GirlVoice aww thank you so much! ^^
Okay, I'm late as heck, but I just wanna point this out:
Guys, the curtains are there because it's all an *act*
Evan is telling one big lie to the public, but when he is questioned behind the scenes (Alana seeing the flaws in the emails and Jared threatening to reveal the truth), everything starts falling apart. He knows what he is doing is wrong, but he still believes there is no going back, so he continues to act in this new role he has written for himself. Heidi and Alana saying *"I'll just sit back while you run the show"* only amplifies that this friendship with Connor isn't real.
But then again, maybe I'm just over analyzing this. Either way, this is a beautiful and emotional animatic! I can only imagine the effort put into this! Major kudos to you!
Nothing is being over analyzed dont worry! This is great, and thank you!
:0 wow I never thought about that
j a r e d N O O O
WE NEED TO TALK TO OUR BATH BOMB EATING GERMLIN!
Your art style just conveys so much emotion, and you can feel the character’s pains ;-;

classified classified funniest comment ever
Haha I loved this
I love it! **thinks it would be a cool animatic for a Mystic Messenger crossover**
Mishiro Oh bro, mm will.
Mishiro
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS REMINDED ME OF MYSTIC MESSENGER-
I read this comment right when my Mystic messenger notification went off
Could totally see this for MC and 707 :)
I JUST GOT YOUR MESSAGES-
*EVERY MORN-*
My favorite part is the “Stop it! stop it! Just let me go!”
It shows that Evan didn’t want all of this to happen but he got dragged into this because of the Murphy’s mistake that Connor wrote the letter that Evan actually wrote to himself. Evan didn’t want to let the Murphy’s down, so he did all he could to keep them happy and he tried his best, even though he was lying.
I don't know why but the strain in Jareds voice when he says "asshole" is so convincing! It makes me feel like he's actually angry!
I really, really love the facial expressions. Just... ah. Utter perfection. And wow, this was intense o.o
Speaking of tense, it's becoming increasingly dangerous sa Phil... Please be careful, Ate Ros. Take care of yourself and I hope you have fun with camp with everyone else! *huggles* I'll be praying for all of us.
I wish I could donate but alas, I don't have anything to give right now except my support TwT)
TheBlueAmethyst yes, it is. Thank you! You be careful too. ^^ Haha, it's alright, the ads kinda helps me a little bit. Thank you so much! ^^
+Ros Mo Pilipino po kayo? galing. lol. btw, the animatic was amazing
Oh my god i love this so much- this song is one of my favorites like it shows the burdens of the other characters, my favorite characters. Wish they'd give jared more uh how do i say this i wish they'd elaborated jared's character more tho
Hayley Smith omg! So true! Jared needs to be appreciated more!
Ros Mo -he's more than just eating bathbombs okay- they've said it themselves that jared is a sophisticated character so im just???? I n eED tH e bO oK
Hayley Smith hahaha! We all need the book! I wish they'd shown more of Jared, but I mean, it's evan's musical. I wish Jared will have a musical too haha...haha. Pls.
Ros Mo ah well that's true xD but i meant like at least shine a little bit more light on him bc he is one of the key characters- since y'know he had a major influence on evan's decision to lie but yeah -may or may not be salty about the fact that will has very little linesahahahh(getsslapped)-
Hayley Smith haha shh shh, it's alright, the fans shall be the ones to shed the light on our beloved jared! ^^
my heart?? can't cope??
The curtain transitions, the smooth audio cuts, everything about this is so beautiful and I just c a n t
Little Miss KC haha thank you! By God's grace I've managed to finish this 5 min long video...phew haha
OH MY GOSH YOU ARE SO EXTRA WITH ADDING THE DIALOGUE THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GOOD FOR YOU ANIMATICS!
I love musical logic:
Argument, angry words, yelling, random music comes on, singing, and amazing emotional levels come on.
Ros, you're one of my favorite UA-camrs even though you don't upload very often. I understand the entire animation process! I am an artist with a very similar art style. I honestly really want to donate to you but I do not have the money. Sorry.
Izumi Senpai aww that's alright! Thank you so much for understanding^^
ive watched this so many times and it just hits me so hard everytime, and the art is just so good. v creative, how the transition frm evan's mom to the speaking parts is a curtain closing. it really sells how evan is taken off guard by alana's questions because she suddenly barges behind the curtain. also the way connor waves goodbye shows how evan thought of how connor has 'abandoned' him, when in previous scenes he was supporting him. evan's mind takes a form in connor's shape, i guess.
i cannot stress how amazing this is, btw
Paige I'm glad you liked it thank you! And I love your analysis on the video and it's little meanings! ^^
Hearing the song with the dialogue puts things in a whole new perspective. When I first heard it I felt like everyone else was being jealous and now knowing how badly Evan hurt them and lied just, wow.
Why do I feel bad for Evan...
when he says : ,,Stop it! Stop it! Just let me out!!"
It hurts my little heart 😂😂😂😢
ZAN YA oh man I feel nothing because he deserved this shit especially after what he said to his mom
I love this song it really shows how much Jared relies on Evan to be his friend, and how he uses his snarky comments as a defensive way to hide his emotions. It really shows he's not just a jerk and he knows what it's like to feel like nobody cares, and how he though he and Evan were friends. Jared is the best character. You. Can't. Change. My. Mind.
As someone who became fond of Jared, I can attest to this.
I've heard good for you in just the pure song form, but never with the dialogue and I'm gonna say that this hurts me more than the actual song does. Beautiful concept and art!
Gabby D thank you! I'm glad you liked. God Bless you! ^u^
The way Jared said *"asshole"* just hurts, he doesn't deserve this
0:12-1:39
Oh God he's pulling a Jeremy. That's not good.
HEIDI]
So you found a place where the grass is greener
And you jumped the fence to the other side
Is it good?
Are they giving you a world I could never provide?
Well I hope you're proud of your big decision
Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more
Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before
And you say what you need to say
So that you get to walk away
It would kill you to have to stay trapped
When you've got something new
Well I'm sorry you had it rough
And I'm sorry I'm not enough
Thank God they rescued you
So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
So you did what you had to do
Good for you
Good for you
ALANA]
Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry?
Do you even care that you might be wrong?
Was it fun?
Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along
[JARED]
And you say what you need to say
And you play who you need to play
And if somebody's in your way
Crush them and leave them behind
[JARED & ALANA]
Well I guess if I'm not of use
Go ahead, you can cut me loose
Go ahead now, I won't mind
[HEIDI]
I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?
[HEIDI & ALANA]
I'll just sit back while you run the show
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?
EVAN]
All I need is some time to think
But the boat is about to sink
Can't erase what I wrote in ink
Tell me how could I change the story?
All the words that I can't take back
Like a train coming off the track
'Cause the rails and the bolts all crack
I've got to find a way to
Stop it, stop it! Just let me out!
ALANA, JARED, & HEIDI]
So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
Now you say that you're someone new
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
So you got what you always wanted.
Under appreciated comment.
Me:Really well drawn but the movements seem to lack ene-
*Suddenly symbolic curtain*
Also Me: I mean that's creative as fuck but i still think that-
*Suddenly Connor*
Me as well: I didn't like my eyes being dry anyway.
Bob Marley hahaha, I love this. Also, I see ur point thank you for sharing
Ros Mo No problem, keep up the good work!
This is one example of a beautiful video
Fabenice Kate thank youuu
Ros Mo NP all your video are the best your videos need to be known to everyone (at least what I think but I believe it it will be known to everyone one day)
Fabenice Kate aww that's sweet thank you! I hope it will, someday ^^
I love how Evan tried to reason with them during the whole part where they're all singing. Like he knows he messed up but doesn't want to give up what he created because it's what kept him from going back to his depression state. Man Evan...eat a snickers...
My soul is shattering. Love the detail of when the light fades from everyone else's eyes by Evan's words.
SakuraYuki112Jr thank God then^^ I never thought people would like that detail, thank you!
I love how perfectly their emotions are captured in the expressions and the movement of the characters. It is amazing.
I like how at 4:55 they all surround Evan and it is like the camera is spinning. You are very talented!
aHHHH i'm not that familiar with DEH but this made me want to know the whole story ;--; AND THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE SOOO ON POINT ATE CJ KUDOS TO YOU AS ALWAYS !
sapphiremates haha! I'd love to make an animatic of all the songs but I can't make it in a short time sadly and thank you so much! ^u^

As someone with anxiety who once set up a string of useless lies to keep a guy I dated for a good while... shit I felt the suffocation and the pressure and just the crushing.
The story behind this is so deep and powerful. Yeah Evan is definitely a jerk but... dude when all you want is to be important and feel special and you finally have a way to hold onto that...
I don’t know I just get it. And its intense.
4:38 That was such a good transition. I can't stop watching this part.
This song is an absolute masterpiece! It captures the emotion of the moment perfectly, and if this emotion wasn't released, Evan wouldn't have confessed so quickly.
Gosh! I didn't think that they cussed much in this musical. Love the art by the way. Very amazing!
Oh my they cuss a lot and thank you!
This is my favorite animatic of this song, seeing Jared and Alana throw Evan at his mother’s feet just in time for her entrance gets me EVERY TIME it’s so good!!!!!!
around 3:21 when Alana says she can understand what it feels like to feel alone/invisible/etc like Connor, I felt really bad for her and Evan both because for one after Evan finally spoke his mind about what he thinks she was doing (trying to look better for college/whatever) he gets told that she relates to not only Connor, but secretly to Evan because he always feels like that, like he's completely alone. but of course he can't say that now because of the situation he got himself into.
these transitions are genius! !! with the curtains and perspective! its so cool! 👌👌👌
ButteryMistake I'd like to thank God for that ^u^ also for you to notice that, Congratulations! Thanks for noticing them
I want to say stop making me cry at musicals but like it's Dear Evan Hansen how can you NOT cry
i feel the same omgggg!
This is just beautiful. You did an amazing job. This strikes me personally, and I have to say I am touched.
Hahaha, Evan, this isn't the time to smiLE LIKE EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
ahem.
I loooove it. :3 Good luck on your trip to camp! yeh, ganyan talaga ang Philippines. Will pray for safety!
Messy Hair72 haha! Thank youu so much! :))
I don't know why, but your art style just fits so well with this scene. It was honestly breath taking to watch
Shawn Jayatilleke thank you so much! ^^
God I love the way jared says "asshole" it's so emotionally charged auuugh it's so good!!
'Dear Evan Hansen' has touched the hearts of many. Thank you for this very sad and wonderful video Ros Mo
I like how the highlights go out of course.
But I think it's even more impressive how his mothers eyes got their highlights back near the end, it's really true that at the end of the play, she's the only one he really is able to keep as a close person in his life.
HOLY CRAP THE EXTRA AUDIO SEALED IT THIS IS INCREDIBLE
I'VE ONLY EVER HEARD THE SONGS, THE AUDIO BROKE ME
angie ruflo they're'll be more where that came from haha
i love how the intro part is all cutesy and pink, and then it gets to the dialogue and its instantly sad.
I've never been able to go watch the musical of this and at first I didn't really understand this song but those extra parts really helped me to better understand it and it had a lot of emotion
this is wonderful
I just recently found out what this musical was about. I LOVE ALL THE SONGS,JUST DIDNT KNOW THE STORY!! then I found out Connor killed himself....I AM DEAD CRYING RIGHT NOW GOD DANGINTTTTTTTTTTT
I like bears ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ could you tell me!
I’m gonna listen to all the songs soon I swear I will
