The line "We start with stars in our eyes" takes on a whole new meaning since characters in this show will literally get stars in their eyes when they're excited...
Continuing the story: Begrudgingly accepting the fact that he would once again be preforming to a crowd of ghosts, Greg opened the door to his van and made his way to the stage. As he passed by grabbing his guitar he could hear Marty telling him to "Knock their socks off, Champ." And for a second, he paused jokingly wondering if ghosts even had socks that he could knock off. What did it matter, though? Alive or not, REAL or not, he still had a concert to play. Stepping onto the stage he looked out into the empty seats arranged in a mostly orderly fashion. This hadn't been what he wanted. He wanted some one to notice him. For some one, even if it was only one person, to enjoy his music and be inspired by it. He wanted to hear someone say that he gave them the courage to follow their dreams. He wanted to hear someone say that they admired him. He wanted... he wanted to have some sort of purpose. What was the use of playing to no one? Why was he even trying? What made him think that someone like HIM could ever make it big? Shaking his head, he shoved the dark thoughts away. Now wasn't the time for that. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath, imagining the crowd before him, and he smile before striking the first cord and starting to play. Soon enough he was lost in his head. Like all the times before he was in his fantasy. His dream. He was the big time musician that he always wanted to be and the audience was full of people of all ages. They all had wide eyes and large smiles. They were singing along. Yet, when the song ended he opened his eyes and frowned, reality crashing back in. No one had come. No one ever comes. But then he heard it, clapping. Someone was actually clapping? Looking over, fully expected it to be Marty trying to boost his confidence, but it wasn't. Why wasn't he surprised by that? But then who-? He looked back out into the seats and saw her, pale skin and long curling pink hair, and she was the one clapping. And the rest, as they say, is history.
So, for ages now, I've been trying to figure out how the heck to respond to all of you guys... and I still can't come up with a good enough way to say thank you. Seriously, all I did was continue the story shown in the video, and the fact that a some of you guys apparently want this to be cannon is just... I can't. I have no words for this. I'm literally speechless. So... even though it's really overdue at this point... I just wanted to say thanks. You have no idea how much it means to me to hear that there are people who like my work that much. So... thank you.
LET'S GO DEAR EVAN HANSENNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! I was so confused when I saw Steven Universe and Waving through a window in the same title, I really like your cover though and how u change a few words.
When I read your comment, I couldn't help but sing "It changed the meaning. Did you intend this? One stroke and you've consumed my waking days. It says "My dearest Angelica" with a comma after dearest. You've written "My dearest, Angelica" XD
Dear Caleb Hyles, We've been way too out of touch, things have been crazy and it sucks that we don't talk that much. But I should tell you that I think of you each night. I ru- I'm not evening finishing the joke I'll just show myself out
Dear Actual Kit yes I also miss our talks stop doing drugs just try to take deep breath and go on walks (no) I'm sending picture of the most amazing trees (no) You'll be obsessed with all my forest experties (ABSOLUTELY NOT)(?
I RUB MY NIPPLES AND START MOANING WITH DELIGHT!!!! Hahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha... I am trash
Thank you so much for doing this. Just thank you. Number one, you've combined two of my favorite fandoms, number two, you've sung a really deep song and showed people that they're not alone if they feel like Evan or Greg. Thank you for doing this. You really mastered this song, and other than Ben Platt, you're better than anyone I've heard sing it. You did a really good job.
I've noticed you've taken an interest in Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton. Could you maybe look into Be More Chill? I would love to hear your take on Pitiful Children or the Squip Song.
This was a really clever way to get people to hear new music. I probably would have not clicked on it w/o the Steven Universe title. But I'm really glad I did. I'm really impressed. 😎
Caleb Hyles Caleb, for like a whole day I didn't realize this was a cover of a musical number. I really thought you wrote this and it was the best feeling ever until I realized. It is a wonderful cover but I really want to hear an original song by you. Please make one!
Over all the time I've listened to Dear Evan Hansen I've listened to this cover once...and that was when it first came out. I found myself singing Waving Through A Window and said "When you're kicking off a concert- Wait..." searched up the lyrics and couldn't find that. I searched up what I was remembering and re-found this song. You actually altered my memory of this song through one listen of this. You're astounding Caleb.
JasperTheSpirit Andrew Walker-Fire Arrow yeah it is actually... the song he's singing is originally from the new musical Dear Evan Hansen. He just switched some of the lyrics around
JasperTheSpirit Andrew Walker-Fire Arrow Yes, it IS a cover, the song is originally from the musical 'Dear Evan Hansen.' He just changed some of the lyrics.
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 Give them no reason to stare No slipping up if you slip away So I got nothing to share No, I got nothing to say Step out, step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you've learned On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass I'm waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass I'm waving through a window, oh Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? 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 Step out, step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you've learned On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass Waving through a window, oh Can anybody see, is anybody waving? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? It's like I never made a sound Will I ever make a sound? On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass Waving through a window, oh Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh) Is anybody waving? Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
This is my favorite cover of yours so far! Really highlights your crazy impressive vocal talents, range, and control. And it just sounds so CLEAN. Already listened three times, this one's getting bookmarked and downloaded. It's fantastic! Keep up the great music, your voice is amazing and you always do such an incredible job. Listening to your music always brightens a glum day or makes a great day better, thank you for these great songs!
Can't wait to see Dear Evan Hansen in November during previews. This cover was incredible, Caleb. You'd totally be a great Evan Hansen when Ben eventually leaves the role (whenever that'll be HAH probably after a year or so).
I introduced this song to my self leadership group, they loved this song. It fits how so many of us feel. Like we somehow messed up and every step is a failure. To me this captures my social anxiety, I try and try to speak to people but it's as if I'm on the wrong side of the glass. I've somehow become on the outside and so many of my group sees this and one member was speaking on how he needs to share this song and it emphasizes with so many of us with mental health issues. I just want to say, thank you for your singing. It is powerful, and music will always be a way to connect to every person, wither we're on the outside looking in, or happily on the inside. It forms a bridge between the gap.
im broadway trash and im getting so triggered from the comments who dont know this is a song from a broadway show lmao (also clearing that up if people are confused)
SAME! Like, he just changed a few words from the original song, but it's originally FROM 'Dear Evan Hansen,' which I've only recently started getting interested in, been listening to this song mainly because I don't know any of the other songs yet. 😂
I've been going back on your old vids recently, and your voice is really amazing, its incredible!! You are the first person to literally make me CRY because of their voice! You are amazing, I keep it up!
I finally realized why calebs voice is so great. He's the only person I've heard who can harmonize an entire musical scale. He doesn't need all 3 types of voices. He can do them all. It's human inhibition to enjoy harmony. So thanks if your reading this Caleb, for having a voice that is literally music to my ears. Also this is completely off topic but I'm not remaking this whole comment, but I think your voice would fit well with the song" I will follow you into the dark" by death cab for a cutie. Thx Caleb.
Caleb, for like a whole day I didn't realize this was a cover of a musical number. I really thought you wrote this and it was the best feeling ever until I realized. It is a wonderful cover but I really want to hear an original song by you. Please make one!
This was actually my first introduction to Dear Evan Hanson, I heard this when you released it and thought it was original so I looked it up again and found DEH. Thank you for introducing me to what is now my favorite musical
I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED BY THIS! I came into this video and I didn't expect a musical mash-up. This is AMAZING and I can't wait to hear more from you! I love your covers and hope you're doing well!!
Beautiful, how did I just find this? it's an amazing cover and I love that you always put your own little flare into it! I would really like to hear you cover Michael in the bathroom from be more chill I'd love to see how you set up the story for it with Steven universe characters^^
This was my first exposure to DEH, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou Caleb! I love it so much
This cover got me addicted to the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack. Please do "You Will Be Found." I know everyone's done it, but I love the emotion you put into your songs.
Thank you Caleb. You relit the passsion for singing in not just me, but my husband as well. We just ordered our first microphone and I'm sincerely thinking of this song as my debut cover.
I really love how you changed a few of the words to fit a story of someone struggling to make it in entertainment, really made the song hit home for me
This cover is absolutely amazing!! The Steven Universe title drew me in, and it helped me out a lot! I've been obsessed with the show quite a bit lately, and I've been listening almost exclusively to your covers of the songs, but listening to this sort of woke me up and helped me realize that there's a ton of good music out there, especially beautiful show tunes like this! It also inspired me to listen to your other covers, which are just as amazing as your Steven Universe work! I've been able to think a little nicer without all the Steven on my mind, and I feel like I've been performing better since I first heard this cover, so thank you very much!!
I never thought I'd see this crossover; I ADORE Dear Evan Hansen (saw it back at Arena Stage, and again at Second Stage) and just got into SU, and so I was so surprised to find this looking for this song!! What a pleasant surprise!!! You have a wonderful voice and this is both an amazing cover and super fitting for Greg :) Awesome job!!
You're singing is so good, it makes me relax, even though I just auditioned for Opus (Iowa's state 7-8th Choir where only 100 out of 1000s of teens get in) and I'm utterly scared ;3;
Forget Steven Universe (not really)! Dear Evan Hansen just won the Tony for Best Musical. Caleb knew about this musical 8 months ago before anyone had ever heard of it. All I'm saying is that someone should pick up the phone, because Caleb CALLED IT!
Caleb I would drop anything to watch your channel keep being you and singing you're the best and I want you to know you inspired me to make a channel so thanks for gracing UA-cam with your presence you rock!😄
I found your cover of this song via Spotify's discover feature, and just wanted to thank you for effectively introducing the musical to me! It's an amazing cover of an amazing song, I'm definitely going to be listening through the soundtrack.
Caleb, I've been going through a really rough time the past few months. Job at risk, life turned upside down, and all of it making my depression come to the forefront of my mind. But your songs have kept me grounded, sir. Thank you. Thank you for being a beacon. -Dylan T.
Caleb. I gotta thank you for covering this song cuz if you hadn't I wouldn't have ever found dear Evan Hansen. I stumbled upon this on your Spotify channel and fell in love with it. I have listened to the album like crazy and lord knows how many times I've listened to this song in particular. Lol. I think this was the only song I listened to yesterday. Anyways I felt like I should thank you and keep it up man. You're awesome.
Wow this is such a good song for greg and the way you used the emotion and range in ur voice was really excellent I couldnt help but sing along and repeat it like 6 times already
Fantastic as always Caleb! I was wondering if you've ever heard of a musical Tick...Tick...BOOM! ? I feel it would sound amazing if you covered any of it. Keep on rocking dude!
I was looking through your Steven universe playlist and saw this title as my eyes lit up I wasn't expecting this it's too good to be true I love dear evan Hansen so much it's helped my anxiety a lot you have the perfect voice for this song aaaaa I'm shaking
why do you sound like Ben Platt for real? but you've got your own style and its really cool I'm saying when i hear the first verse on a random playlist i cant tell if its the OG or your beautiful rendition
Holy shit, I watched this before I knew about Dear Evan Hansen and didn't put much thought into it other than how well Caleb sang. Watching it now that I've cried over 20 times to DEH, I'm losing my shit.
thanks the lord you're finally better!!! when you said you were sick, i was so sad, because you are my favorite person on youtube! so glad you're better. and amazing cover!!!
jesus i just found this cover. i wasnt entirely sure if this was a fansong or DEH and i was pleasantly surprised with it being DEH. I love this song and I think you did it justice!
Greg is such a fantastic character. He's strong and compassionate despite all he's been through. He is the epitome of what being a decent human being is. I love seeing him being appreciated. Fantastic cover yet again! ^^
Caleb, you're soo amazing and you set my goals for my voice. Do you know the song "Come What May"? I would love to hear you sing that song from Moulin Rouge!
I am so in love with this! I eventually want to do a cover of this with your spin on it if that's alright? But anyway I love your work, your voice is AMAZING!
As calebs sinus infection cleared up he thought "Will i make another steven universe cover today" this a soft voice in his head said "yes" and then this was born i enjoyed this caleb it was amazing thanks for the cover to a good song
this one actually isnt a SU cover, it' a cover of a musical song that he felt could be connected to SU in some way, like his cover of run away with me was.
it's really a fantastic show, lot of filler especially at the begining, but later you'll see how everything comes together. it's still far from over and they have been building up lots of potential for a while now. You really should come join the ride.
continuity is so important in SU. its crazy how such a seemingly insignificant thing from early season one can make such a huge impact two, three, four seasons later. and dont get me started on the sound tracks. its definitely worth a watch.
"oh, dear evan hansen?" *slaps a steven universe label on it* "more like dear greg universe"
😂
The line "We start with stars in our eyes" takes on a whole new meaning since characters in this show will literally get stars in their eyes when they're excited...
Continuing the story:
Begrudgingly accepting the fact that he would once again be preforming to a crowd of ghosts, Greg opened the door to his van and made his way to the stage. As he passed by grabbing his guitar he could hear Marty telling him to "Knock their socks off, Champ." And for a second, he paused jokingly wondering if ghosts even had socks that he could knock off. What did it matter, though? Alive or not, REAL or not, he still had a concert to play. Stepping onto the stage he looked out into the empty seats arranged in a mostly orderly fashion.
This hadn't been what he wanted. He wanted some one to notice him. For some one, even if it was only one person, to enjoy his music and be inspired by it. He wanted to hear someone say that he gave them the courage to follow their dreams. He wanted to hear someone say that they admired him. He wanted... he wanted to have some sort of purpose. What was the use of playing to no one? Why was he even trying? What made him think that someone like HIM could ever make it big? Shaking his head, he shoved the dark thoughts away. Now wasn't the time for that.
Closing his eyes he took a deep breath, imagining the crowd before him, and he smile before striking the first cord and starting to play. Soon enough he was lost in his head. Like all the times before he was in his fantasy. His dream. He was the big time musician that he always wanted to be and the audience was full of people of all ages. They all had wide eyes and large smiles. They were singing along. Yet, when the song ended he opened his eyes and frowned, reality crashing back in. No one had come. No one ever comes. But then he heard it, clapping. Someone was actually clapping? Looking over, fully expected it to be Marty trying to boost his confidence, but it wasn't. Why wasn't he surprised by that? But then who-? He looked back out into the seats and saw her, pale skin and long curling pink hair, and she was the one clapping.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Can this be canon, please?
AGREED! *heart hurts*
Must be Canon, please XD
Amazingly beautiful, that's all I can say.
So, for ages now, I've been trying to figure out how the heck to respond to all of you guys... and I still can't come up with a good enough way to say thank you. Seriously, all I did was continue the story shown in the video, and the fact that a some of you guys apparently want this to be cannon is just... I can't. I have no words for this. I'm literally speechless. So... even though it's really overdue at this point... I just wanted to say thanks. You have no idea how much it means to me to hear that there are people who like my work that much. So... thank you.
"Step out of the sun if you keep getting burned" TAKE YOUR OWN GOD DAMN ADVICE GREG
Oh My GOD That is great
Lol, except Caleb put "Step off, step off of the stage" instead
LET'S GO DEAR EVAN HANSENNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
I was so confused when I saw Steven Universe and Waving through a window in the same title, I really like your cover though and how u change a few words.
When I read your comment, I couldn't help but sing "It changed the meaning. Did you intend this? One stroke and you've consumed my waking days. It says "My dearest Angelica" with a comma after dearest. You've written "My dearest, Angelica" XD
Dear Caleb Hyles,
We've been way too out of touch, things have been crazy and it sucks that we don't talk that much.
But I should tell you that I think of you each night.
I ru-
I'm not evening finishing the joke I'll just show myself out
Actual Kit DON'T SHOW YOURSELF OUT YET I BROUGHT POPCORN
Dear Actual Kit yes I also miss our talks
stop doing drugs just try to take deep breath and go on walks (no)
I'm sending picture of the most amazing trees (no)
You'll be obsessed with all my forest experties (ABSOLUTELY NOT)(?
I RUB MY NIPPLES AND START MOANING WITH DELIGHT!!!! Hahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha...
I am trash
-B MY NIPPLES AND START MOANING IN DELIGHT
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT
IM JUST TELLING THE TRUTH
Sincerely me
Thank you so much for doing this. Just thank you. Number one, you've combined two of my favorite fandoms, number two, you've sung a really deep song and showed people that they're not alone if they feel like Evan or Greg. Thank you for doing this. You really mastered this song, and other than Ben Platt, you're better than anyone I've heard sing it. You did a really good job.
I've noticed you've taken an interest in Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton. Could you maybe look into Be More Chill? I would love to hear your take on Pitiful Children or the Squip Song.
true. you know he would nail that iiiIIIT'S FROM JAPAAAANNN part
Late to the party but I’m just gonna head to the bathroom because I don’t think I was invited...😉😉😉
My 2 favorite song from that musical
UPGRADE OH MY GOD I WOULD CRY
OH YES PLEASE
I can imagine Greg singing this just before going on stage where he met rose
That's exactly what I was going for :)
no word of a lie I did have a fanboy moment on my work break when you replied to this Caleb
Haha! I try to keep up with the comment section as much as I can lol
Somebody could animate this...
YES.
im an artist

This was a really clever way to get people to hear new music. I probably would have not clicked on it w/o the Steven Universe title. But I'm really glad I did. I'm really impressed. 😎
You figured me out ;P
Caleb Hyles Caleb, for like a whole day I didn't realize this was a cover of a musical number. I really thought you wrote this and it was the best feeling ever until I realized. It is a wonderful cover but I really want to hear an original song by you. Please make one!
Caleb Hyles i was hoping for a Comet cover. but i enjoy your covers. your my cannon voice for a male gem haha
I'm not a fan of Steven Universe, never interested me. If I hadn't heard the first note of this song, I probably would have left otherwise.
Clarabird its not from su. it's from Dear Evan Hansen
Over all the time I've listened to Dear Evan Hansen I've listened to this cover once...and that was when it first came out. I found myself singing Waving Through A Window and said "When you're kicking off a concert- Wait..." searched up the lyrics and couldn't find that. I searched up what I was remembering and re-found this song. You actually altered my memory of this song through one listen of this. You're astounding Caleb.
can you sing you're gonna go far kid
That would be cool
THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING! WHY HAD I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE?!
YEAHH
By the Offspring? That would be amazing!
OMFG YES
I've been obsessed with this song lately and MY GOD, your cover is perfect!
Sari Safari not a cover :/
JasperTheSpirit Andrew Walker-Fire Arrow yeah it is actually... the song he's singing is originally from the new musical Dear Evan Hansen. He just switched some of the lyrics around
JasperTheSpirit Andrew Walker-Fire Arrow Yes, it IS a cover, the song is originally from the musical 'Dear Evan Hansen.' He just changed some of the lyrics.
Clarabird I just noticed a week ago
This is wonderful, bro! Absolutely love it!
Thank you, big bro!! :D
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
Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
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
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh)
Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
This is my favorite cover of yours so far! Really highlights your crazy impressive vocal talents, range, and control. And it just sounds so CLEAN. Already listened three times, this one's getting bookmarked and downloaded. It's fantastic! Keep up the great music, your voice is amazing and you always do such an incredible job. Listening to your music always brightens a glum day or makes a great day better, thank you for these great songs!
Thank you so much for the feedback and encouragement :) This was certainly one of the harder tracks I've ever done. Many practice runs were had xD
Caleb Hyles And it shows in how well it came out! Great job!
Can't wait to see Dear Evan Hansen in November during previews. This cover was incredible, Caleb. You'd totally be a great Evan Hansen when Ben eventually leaves the role (whenever that'll be HAH probably after a year or so).
ItsGeoffrey I HOPE CALEB AT LEAST AUDITIONS! He has an amazing Broadway voice!
I was watching this next to my window and when he said "tap tap tapping on the window" a bird tapped on my window and I fell off of my chair. xD
How serendipitous!! :D
OH BOY. If I had to choose between listening to this or eating a hot pocket, I would choose listening to this.
hot pockets are pretty great to though. XD
Dang...I'm truly humbled ~
Caleb Hyles First youtuber to reply. Great singing BTW
I would eat hotpockets while listening to this. Even better! 👌
The hardest of decisions calls for the strongest of wills

When I first saw this, I didn't know that it was from a musical lol.
WHELP NOW IM INTO DEAR EVAN HANSEN SO

I didn't know this was from a musical but it says so on the damned video so I don't know what people are so confused about
Belle Ashleigh Feel that. My bro's crazy bout this kinda stuff, so he pounded it into my head.
Raccoon Child honestly 😂
Deven. Yes, just Deven tbh my theatre teacher showed me dear evan hansen so I pounded the song into ny own head 😂
SAME! Like, he just changed a few words from the original song, but it's originally FROM 'Dear Evan Hansen,' which I've only recently started getting interested in, been listening to this song mainly because I don't know any of the other songs yet. 😂

Charlotte Dreamer YESYES GOOD FOR YOU

SOUNDS AMAZING!
Hope you get better soon!~
and totally does remind me of Greg.
YAS! :D That's definitely what I was hoping for ♥
Caleb nails everything he does while putting his own spin on things at the same time.
I finally realized why calebs voice is so great. He's the only person I've heard who can harmonize an entire musical scale. He doesn't need all 3 types of voices. He can do them all.

Also this is completely off topic but I'm not remaking this whole comment, but I think your voice would fit well with the song" I will follow you into the dark" by death cab for a cutie. Thx Caleb.
You should really consider singing a song from the school of rock musical, and/or even auditioning to play Dewey Finn in a production of it.
Caleb, for like a whole day I didn't realize this was a cover of a musical number. I really thought you wrote this and it was the best feeling ever until I realized. It is a wonderful cover but I really want to hear an original song by you. Please make one!
This was actually my first introduction to Dear Evan Hanson, I heard this when you released it and thought it was original so I looked it up again and found DEH. Thank you for introducing me to what is now my favorite musical
I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED BY THIS! I came into this video and I didn't expect a musical mash-up. This is AMAZING and I can't wait to hear more from you! I love your covers and hope you're doing well!!
Hey Caleb I don't know if you are sad in real life or not, but either way please know that you are amazing. You inspire me.
So glad you have already done this! Was rewatching the show and thought that you would be ace doing this!
When are you going to try out for The Voice?💙
Beautiful, how did I just find this? it's an amazing cover and I love that you always put your own little flare into it! I would really like to hear you cover Michael in the bathroom from be more chill I'd love to see how you set up the story for it with Steven universe characters^^
"obscure musical" ;-; I wish more people knew about it its so goodddddd
This was my first exposure to DEH,

Caleb! I love it so much
I haven't watched the video yet, but I saw DEH and SU in the title, and it's by Caleb Hyles. I have high expectations for this.
Came for Steven,
stayed for Evan.
This cover got me addicted to the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack. Please do "You Will Be Found." I know everyone's done it, but I love the emotion you put into your songs.
Thank you Caleb. You relit the passsion for singing in not just me, but my husband as well. We just ordered our first microphone and I'm sincerely thinking of this song as my debut cover.
I really love how you changed a few of the words to fit a story of someone struggling to make it in entertainment, really made the song hit home for me
This is simply amazing! I loved that you show more about Gregg`s feelings, he is one of my favorite characters.
This cover is absolutely amazing!! The Steven Universe title drew me in, and it helped me out a lot! I've been obsessed with the show quite a bit lately, and I've been listening almost exclusively to your covers of the songs, but listening to this sort of woke me up and helped me realize that there's a ton of good music out there, especially beautiful show tunes like this! It also inspired me to listen to your other covers, which are just as amazing as your Steven Universe work! I've been able to think a little nicer without all the Steven on my mind, and I feel like I've been performing better since I first heard this cover, so thank you very much!!
Crying. Crying so hard right now. I love your voice!
this is one of my favorite new Musicals, and your cover is just out of this world man. You should be here in NY and on Broadway!!!
thank you so much! I am kept sane since you put it on Spotify
I never thought I'd see this crossover; I ADORE Dear Evan Hansen (saw it back at Arena Stage, and again at Second Stage) and just got into SU, and so I was so surprised to find this looking for this song!! What a pleasant surprise!!! You have a wonderful voice and this is both an amazing cover and super fitting for Greg :) Awesome job!!
You seriously need to be on broadway. This is sooo good.
You're singing is so good, it makes me relax, even though I just auditioned for Opus (Iowa's state 7-8th Choir where only 100 out of 1000s of teens get in) and I'm utterly scared ;3;
My favourite musical and tv show? HELL YEAH!!
Forget Steven Universe (not really)! Dear Evan Hansen just won the Tony for Best Musical. Caleb knew about this musical 8 months ago before anyone had ever heard of it. All I'm saying is that someone should pick up the phone, because Caleb CALLED IT!
Andrew Levin just saying, a lot of people had hear of it. It was definitely leading for best musical for a long time.
Caleb I would drop anything to watch your channel keep being you and singing you're the best and I want you to know you inspired me to make a channel so thanks for gracing UA-cam with your presence you rock!😄
1:01 “CHERRY MAN”
The opening makes me cry
I found your cover of this song via Spotify's discover feature, and just wanted to thank you for effectively introducing the musical to me! It's an amazing cover of an amazing song, I'm definitely going to be listening through the soundtrack.
Caleb,
I've been going through a really rough time the past few months. Job at risk, life turned upside down, and all of it making my depression come to the forefront of my mind. But your songs have kept me grounded, sir. Thank you. Thank you for being a beacon.

Dang this is some good vocals
Caleb. I gotta thank you for covering this song cuz if you hadn't I wouldn't have ever found dear Evan Hansen. I stumbled upon this on your Spotify channel and fell in love with it. I have listened to the album like crazy and lord knows how many times I've listened to this song in particular. Lol. I think this was the only song I listened to yesterday. Anyways I felt like I should thank you and keep it up man. You're awesome.
Wow this is such a good song for greg and the way you used the emotion and range in ur voice was really excellent I couldnt help but sing along and repeat it like 6 times already
I recently discovered Dear Evan Hansen, and OMG THIS IS AMAZING
Caleb, you knocked this out of the park, just like usual lol
Hold on-- WAIT--
Steven Universe....
AND Dear Evan Hansen...?
God bless your soul.
I'm crying so hard!! 😭😭😭 your voice is so beautiful!!
Fantastic as always Caleb! I was wondering if you've ever heard of a musical Tick...Tick...BOOM! ? I feel it would sound amazing if you covered any of it. Keep on rocking dude!
this is actually beautiful
i think this is the first cover ive heard from you and it was absolutely great your voice is just amazing
WHY I HAVEN'T LISTENED THIS PERFECTION BEFORE?
You combine the two best fandoms. Thank you so much
I was looking through your Steven universe playlist and saw this title as my eyes lit up I wasn't expecting this it's too good to be true I love dear evan Hansen so much it's helped my anxiety a lot you have the perfect voice for this song aaaaa I'm shaking
That was beautiful! Thank you Caleb!!!
this is the best you have done in a long time! just perfect, this type of songs fit you almost to well! keep it up pal!
when i first heard this song my first thought was "heh caleb would do a great job singing this""
Just picturing Caleb and Jonathan singing Sincerely, Me is giving me so much joy
why do you sound like Ben Platt for real? but you've got your own style and its really cool I'm saying when i hear the first verse on a random playlist i cant tell if its the OG or your beautiful rendition
I really love this musical and I really love your voice and I just really love this cover and I'm so glad you do musical covers
That was amazing!!! I feel like I got star-eyes for real listening to this, you did such a good job!
OMG Yes! Dear Evan Hansen!! I've been waiting
How dare you not let me know you had this cover???? How dare you not have more of this????? I love DEH, i'm in love with your cover as always.
YOURE SO AMAZING IM GONNA CRY
your voice is so beautiful, makes me cry everytime my dude, keep it up
please be dear Evan hansen please be dear Evan hansen please be dear Evan hansen
update: IT ISSSSSSS
Holy shit, I watched this before I knew about Dear Evan Hansen and didn't put much thought into it other than how well Caleb sang. Watching it now that I've cried over 20 times to DEH, I'm losing my shit.
3 of my favorite things in music in one: Caleb Hyles, Steven Universe, and Dear Evan Hansen
Why did it take me so long to find this cover?
thanks the lord you're finally better!!! when you said you were sick, i was so sad, because you are my favorite person on youtube! so glad you're better. and amazing cover!!!
jesus i just found this cover. i wasnt entirely sure if this was a fansong or DEH and i was pleasantly surprised with it being DEH. I love this song and I think you did it justice!
I freaking knew yours would be the best cover of this song. I like the Greg-texual edits to the lyrics too!
Nobody sings waving through a window better than Ben Pla-
Greg is such a fantastic character. He's strong and compassionate despite all he's been through. He is the epitome of what being a decent human being is. I love seeing him being appreciated. Fantastic cover yet again! ^^
Caleb, I love this song and im excited for this upcoming musical, and Greg omg. You did an AMAZING JOB!! :D
This. Was. Flat out AMAZING!
Your voice is magnificent!
Caleb, you're soo amazing and you set my goals for my voice. Do you know the song "Come What May"? I would love to hear you sing that song from Moulin Rouge!
I am so in love with this! I eventually want to do a cover of this with your spin on it if that's alright? But anyway I love your work, your voice is AMAZING!
The ending song from SU would be amazing, Caleb! Love Like You is so underrated!
Heyy, you sound just like Ben platt and I'm fangirling!! This is Star from AnniCon, Marco says hi ^_^
I adore this song, I'm so glad to see a cover of it by you. Excellent as always.
As calebs sinus infection cleared up he thought "Will i make another steven universe cover today" this a soft voice in his head said "yes" and then this was born i enjoyed this caleb it was amazing thanks for the cover to a good song
this one actually isnt a SU cover, it' a cover of a musical song that he felt could be connected to SU in some way, like his cover of run away with me was.
oh well its still a good song
Really well done! I've heard Steven Universe is really good, but I'm still not sure if it's worth a watch. Anyone wish to give me a lecture? =p
it's really a fantastic show, lot of filler especially at the begining, but later you'll see how everything comes together. it's still far from over and they have been building up lots of potential for a while now. You really should come join the ride.
watch it it's so good
continuity is so important in SU. its crazy how such a seemingly insignificant thing from early season one can make such a huge impact two, three, four seasons later. and dont get me started on the sound tracks. its definitely worth a watch.
yes,heres a quick fly by,cotton candy mom,two lesbians in a trench coat,salty pearl,drowned the children,CLOD,S!,and now your caught up
you forgot that onion is yellow diamond
!!!! try out for this when it goes on tour!!
