What if popularity came in a pill? Would you take it, no questions asked? In BE MORE CHILL, achieving the “perfect life” is now possible thanks to some mysterious new technology-but it comes at a cost that’s not as easy to swallow. What could possibly go wrong? Blending the contemporary with retro sci-fi, this thrillingly exciting, comically subversive, and deeply felt new musical takes on the competing voices in all of our heads. And ultimately proves, there’s never been a better time in history to be yourself-especially if you’re a loser…geek…or whatever.
Based on the cult sensation novel by Ned Vizzini, BE MORE CHILL is the story of Jeremy Heere, your average, nothing-special teenager at Middleborough High in nothing-special New Jersey. That is, until the day he finds out about "The Squip." Thus begins a journey that pits Jeremy's desire to be popular against his struggle to remain true to his authentic self. This original musical with music and lyrics by Joe Iconis and a book by Joe Tracz was originally commissioned and produced by Two River Theater, Red Bank, NJ and debuts on Broadway in February 2019.
Hey! Here's where else you can listen to the song: ghostlightrecords.lnk.to/bmc-losergeekwhatever
I'm the first to like it, yeah! That's never happened and where was George? 😢 but, it was still a really good song
BeMoreChillMusical *heere’s
noice
Little Luna Studios!!! This song doesn’t have Michael in it though, why would it have George??
Please make an delux album and put this on it!!
reminder that this is will roland’s first solo recording.
wink wonk Oh my God... he’s so good, I can’t believe that’s true.
wHAt
i'm crying thanks
Rip Goin’ Viral
I liked going viral. That's sad they recorded the other cut songs and not going viral. Will's voice is apperantly not good enough to get a recording apparently lmao but hey, bmc used him and legit gave him a very good, solo song, with not as much cursing XD
when he screamed "the problem has always been me," i felt that.
God, i love this small bean so much.
YES!Also the face it' Just-and the "If Christine likes me in the end,Will I be able to pretend I didn't failed my one real friend" ugh
I'm crying again
Eunice the “please don’t speak” really did it for me.
I can't get past "...being lonely's stupid tough," without tearing up. Also, "...I deserve to not feel bad." This song is a series of gut punches to the feels.
Eunice when I first heard it I thought he’d say “the problem has always been Michael” which hurt me physically
It's been a while since ive seen someone unironically say "i felt that-"
IM SO HAPPY FINALLY WILL HAS GOTTEN JUSTICE AND HIS OWN SOLO TRACK TO SHOW HIS AMAZING VOICE
high on infinity nice profile picture ;)
YES. HE DIDNT GET GOIN VIRAL BUT HE GOT THIS
He is amazing
YAAAAASSSSS
Mood: *joe iconis jumping up and down*
I love him tbh
*Joe Iconic*
It’s iconic
Sannimate Joe Iconic
He is a mood
*ARE YOU READY FOR ANOTHER UPGRADE?*
me: HELL YEAH!!
wallet: no.
Rip
Mood
Same
Big mood
I wan. To see bmc on broadway. But im a poor ass who spent all their money on the off broadway showing in NYC. whoops.
M O O D
*Jeremy making bad decisions, abandoning logic, and his one true friend: part two* the song
Side note: This song is amazing and I love it so much.
I MEAN BASICALLY YEA
Its a two player game Jeremy
He did say his instincts suck
Is there a song where Jeremy gets to be okay with being a loser geek or whatever? I feel like it’s not addressed
TheNopeAndNeverKing he had a tiny part in upgrade where he sang the first verse of loser geek whatever then it went back to upgrade. I think this song added a special touch that I didn’t know I needed
This sounds like a villain or becoming villain song (which it basically is) and I love it.
Especially at 5:14
That’s literally what it is! :D
@@dionabeck3317 yeah you can really hear his descent into becoming kind of a bad guy
True, I always thought this song was character development before I knew it was Be More Chill, well now I know it'd the opposet 😂
I think I get that vibe but just a little less sinister. That definitely makes me see it in a new light though, so thanks!
This new song just brings so much more to this musical that I didnt know I needed. It gives Jeremy even more context for his actions and Will's portrayal of Jeremy's anger is done so well.
Be More Chill is, and always will be, my favorite musical. It was the first one I ever listened to and it literally changed my life. It helped me find all sorts of other music I love and it helped me improve my drawings since I drew all the characters (especially Rich) so much. The story and characters have always stuck with me and got me through middle school and is still helping me in high school. I want to thank everyone involved in the making of this musical and the actors who make this all possible.
Jeremy taught me to be myself. Michael taught me to always be there for your friends. Christine taught me how to have passion. Rich taught me that people arent always who they seem to be and that they can change. Jake, Brooke, and Chloe taught me that popularity should not matter. Jenna taught me that gossip gets you nowhere, and to focus on yourself. The Squip taught me that outside voices should not affect you and you must follow your own voice. Mr. Reyes taught me that I can take a 5 minute break so that I can eat a hot pocket. Finally, Mr. Heere taught me that if you love someone, you put your pants on for them...
In all honesty... Thank you. Just... Thank you so much.
This comment is gold
@@sationalsen thank you :)
after listening to it a few times, I like it a lot more than I did when they originally introduced it
I was thinking the same thing. It really makes Jeremy look like more than just a copout for little reason.
:)
This is basically Jeremy's version of "Man Up" from The Book of Mormon.
Joey Foster Omfg yes
Joey Foster FUCK
fucking yes
Omg
True
Joe Iconis just jumping there a little is honestly such a mood
Mijaqq q Joe Iconic
Mijaq I read this in Cletus Jones’s voice
"The please-don't-speak-..." that hit me hard.
Charlotte TheUnicorn this is 5 months late but...I don't know you. But dude, your voice matters. So speak. And speak loud. Because you deserve to be heard.
Matthew Sung This is 2 months late but, that was some really great words of motivation.
Sammy Sketches speak loud and speak proud, my friend.
This line also makes me cry
Be more Chill: Yeah it’s a kinda depressing story ya know?
Joe Iconis: *hop hop hop hop hop hop hop-*
I remember hearing this from the front row back in August and man, I could tell how damn personal Will got with this song, his performance was so strong and he looked at me with this look of sheer heartfelt hopelessness during this song. Such an amazing performance, and what a wonderfully written piece. So much love
Anybody else get Dear evan hansen ben Platt vibes at the start?
I mean Will Roland did act alongside Ben in Dear Evan Hansen for years white they were creating that show
Except it’s Jared singing🤣
Lyrics:
I already know what it's like to be the loser
I should find out what it's like to not be the loser, or the geek, or the whatever
I think I felt inconsequential
Since middle school began
I knew I had no potential
To be the leading man
But based on how today's going
I'm finally gaining ground
I even got some blood flowing
With no computer screen around
Which was cool
But what really felt good
Was doing something that
I never thought that I could
It's not only school that's rough
Being lonely's stupid tough
Now I think I've had enough
Of being the loser, the geek, or whatever
Michael thinks that weird is rad
But feeling weird just makes me sad
And I deserve to not feel bad
From being the loser, the geek, or whatever
Sick of being the loser, the geek, or whatever, yeah!
Woah, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Woah, uh huh, uh huh
Dad taught me
"Follow your instincts!
Trust your inner voice!
Listen to your heart!" And such
My whole life I've followed my instincts
Well, guess what?
My instincts suck so much!
So now I'm taking direction
From another voice
If my instincts have an objection
Then that means I'm making the right choice
Behaving this way feels bizarre
But if things keep up the way they are
Then soon enough I'll get real far
From being the loser, the geek, or whatever
If Brooke can look me in the eye
Like I'm some normal handsome guy
I owe it to myself to try
Not being the loser, the geek, or whatever
Sick of being the loser, the geek, or whatever, yeah!
Woah, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Woah, uh huh, uh huh
Prompt me, command me, and I'll obey
I have the bandwidth to do as you say
Especially now since I clearly see
The problem has always been me
Take a breath and get prepared
But still, I'm just a little scared
For who gets cut and who gets spared
When I'm the cool dude, the hero, or whatever
If Christine likes me in the end
Will I be able to pretend
I didn't fail my one real friend
But that's the shit I normally would think
Get over it, get priorities in sync
Just mute the voice inside your head
And connect to another source instead
I've earned the right to selfishly
Be all for one and one for me
I've wasted all eternity
Just being the loser, the geek, or whatever
I'm steady as the games begun
I'm ready set, I'm player one
The future's now, I'm freaking done
With being the weirdo, the wuss, the underdog
Being the misfit, the old-school analog
Being the oddball, the weakling, freak
The failure, the sucker, the please-don't-speak
Oh, I can hardly wait for the moment when
I'm not the loser, the geek, or whatever
Oh, I'm not the loser, the geek, no, never, no
I'm not the loser, the geek, or whatever
Ever again
Bless
thank you! ^^
So far, I’ve looked at a bunch of lyrics websites, and none of them are as close to the correct words for “prompt me, command me, and I’ll obey”. Your words sound the most like the correct so I’ll be using those. Thank you so much!
TTranquil Thank you for the lyrics. I know them, but I want them anyways
TTranquil e
The geEk or whatever
he a squeaky boy
Jesse Bailey YEAH!
I loved that. XD
WE NEED THE OBCR SO WE CAN HAVE THE NEW VERSION OF THE PITIFUL CHILDREN AND ALL THE OTHER SONGS WITH THE NEW CAST BECAUSE I LOVE TIFFANY AND JASON
YEA SAME TIFFANY IS AN ABSOLUTELY QUEEN AND JASON TAM IS AMAZING
YEAH!
I like the new cast, just not used Jason's singing off key at times, and his beep boops….oh god
@@richardpalmer7435 I FOUND YOU HECKER
@@kjdubs5877 agree tbh
“I knew I had no potential to be the leading man”
It’s okay buddy now you’re the lead in a broadway musical ❤️❤️
This puts more Intel Into Jeremy’s feelings when he’s taking the upgrade. It’s not just a split second decision. You see that he doubts himself and his instincts, and ignores his emotions.
Ironically, Will Roland said in an interview that in real time, the thoughts and emotions of Loser Geek Whatever are only a few seconds in Jeremy’s head - it just takes a bit longer than a few seconds to get that across to an audience.
joe's dancing gives me life
5:34
joe iconis? more like..... joe iconic
It is insane how good Will sounds in this song. This role is so perfect for him and you can tell how much he had developed the character in himself since the start of the off-Broadway run
Does this mean there will be a full Broadway version of the soundtrack soon? I can only listen to the Two River one so many times dying to know what Roland sounds like in it.
I really hope so because Will is amazing in the role
They just announced it!!
5 months later.. It's literally an hour away!
I saw the show Off-Broadway back in August, and as soon as Act 1 ended, I wanted to listen to this song on repeat because I loved it so much!! Will's right - Joe Iconis is so incredible at writing songs that are specific yet relatable at the same time and this song is no exception. Seeing this song performed live was so awesome and I will never forget how silent the audience was when Will sang "the problem has always been me!" I'm so glad I can finally listen to this song on repeat and I can't wait to hear Will sing it again on Broadway in February : )
Same exact thing here, i was shaking the entire time bc i loved it all so much!
Hey yo take me with you plz when you go to the Broadway preformance
i literally can’t fuKCING WAIT FOR THE OBC RECORDING sksksksksksks
I love will (Roland)’s version of Jeremy. I love that he is actually angry about the life and situation he’s in. I love how he portrays this as a last ditch attempt to be someone, apart from himself. I just love it.
(If course I’m not saying I don’t like Will Connolly’s version of Jeremy too!)
give us a BMC cast album w the new cast thx
m0thwings there’s probably gonna be one for broadway
It's so good it will rhyme. BMC OBC
I would probably cry tears if joy if they did ahh
They rlly need to do that. Like Rn plz thx
m0thwings yes please
“the problem has always been me” ouch that hit home
3:25 *concerns me*
Same
Yup
Same, like that hurts me.
✔I want to tell my friends and neighbors about it
✔I want to see it grow up healthy
✔I will protect it
Squishy Kitten I don’t know if you mean the song, Jeremy, or Will, but I agree on all accounts!
TREAT IT LIKE UR CHILD!
You *Will* protect it!
-pun-
Sadly it didn't grow up that healthy with so many people hating on Will Roland for no good reason.
@@_the_ what happened?
In the original musical, Jeremy seems sadder and more pathetic. He’s unsure and is desperate to do something more. This Jeremy is... bitter. He feels angry and bitter at the world for his situation. He’s still Jeremy he’s just... louder. He’s more sure of himself and angry it’s odd for me. The original made his sarcasm sound tired and wistful while the sarcasm here feels like barely suppressed rage.
This right here, you've cracked the code and I totally agree!
Yas
I agree, but I can't decided weather its a bad thing or not :/
I actually like this Jeremy more than the off Broadway one. The bitterness and anger makes more sense based on his past, at least I relate personally to the anger at himself and the world for how he is.
Chase Bullock for me his singing of the high notes and low notes (croaky sound) get on my nerves and for me if it’s a musical, I look at the singing first so if it’s annoying (Tracy in Original Hairspray) I cant listen to it. I can’t stand him singing More Than Survi(aye)ve
GOING VIRAL GOT AN UPGRADEHDJDJD
Damn gotta get an upgrade
Omfg yes.
I think this song is:
*GOING VIRRRRRAAAAALLLLL*
WATCH THIS FUCKER GROW GROW GROW
VA VA. A VA VA VIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL
_khAKIS AND THOSE_
*_F U C K I N S H O E S_*
Something that I noticed, is that in the original cast recording, Jeremy never really had an I want song. Instead they spread it out through "Two player game" which was good but more of a fun buddy song, and "More than survive" which is my favorite song, but really is just an intro song that sets up the plot line for the story. This song really brings to life the reason Jeremy ignored his friends and own conscience, and it is also similar to the own self struggle that he had in the original novel. So although It is in my opinion not the best song on the album, it is the best thing for Jeremy's character, and Will Roland really made the song his.
This song is amazing! As someone who hasn't seen the musical and has only listened to the original cast album, this song makes musical Jeremy more like book Jeremy. I gives him more of a background to want to take the upgrade, rather than just straight up agreeing and getting rid of Michael. This song just makes me so happy!! Thank you so much for uploading this!
yo i miss the show so damn much. i wanna see these cool kids again
I wanna see it once never mind agian
@Charlie Andomen iTs gOnE NoW
this makes up for going viral not being the DEH deluxe album
Wtf it's 9pm here and this got me pump af I don't think songs are legally allowed to be this much of a bop
GamerGirlwithanXbox ikRR
"Well guess what? My instincts suck so much."
M e
*approving looks and movements from Joe Iconis overload*
Mad props to Will for holding that last note for 8 FREAKING MEASURES(ish)!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
WEIRD IS RAD
I JUST CAME FROM WILL'S LIVE RIP HIS PHONE BUT IM GONNA SOB THIS IS AMAZINF
Lmao what happened to his phone??
My Celestial Experience he said his phone had 7% then the live paused and ended so his phone prolly died skskks
@@highoninfinity haha rip
Ya my phone totally died.
Will Roland i- i really cant tell if this is the real will or not-
Hi Will Roland needs more appreciation please and thank you
This enhances the storyline so much I’m obsessed
i absolutely love at the end when will is being such a will and is like waving his thumbs around... like.. yes
5:15 That part where the time in his voice changes to a minor key really does give the song a little extra something. It kind of shows that he’s so desperate to be this popular kid that he’ll basically do anything. Even when the last note goes back to the normal key, it still leaves me thinking about that. I don’t know if that’s just be, but...
3:55
This is really random, but I really love how Will says "geek". Honestly, I love it when Will Roland does anything.
I’m watching this and the premier at the same moment😂😂😂
Stephanie Nunez ....how..?
Stephanie Nunez IM SO MAD I MISSED IT I THOUGHT IT WAS TONIGHT NOT LAST NIGHT cr
Stephanie Nunez holdup I thought the premiere wasn’t until February?
@@itsyaboilogan642 So at midnight they had the premier for this song and it was live and I was watching it in my computer and then I was watching this on my phone
take a shot whenever will squeaks while saying geek
loser geek whatever more like loser squeak whatever
God, I love how expressive Will is.
I really feel the lyrics thanks to how well he emotes them
Oh my god....Will's singing is getting better and better every time I hear him!
“I’m player one” Oof... and it’s single player now
The other player went to the bathroom🥲
Also this is random but you know how in smartphone hour Brooke says she was crying? Michael was crying as well so imagine them just comforting each other :,)
@@kylebroflovski6096 LOL
“The geEK.”
That little voice crack/high note is awesome
I swear, I love Will Roland, I love the way he portrays Jeremy!!!!
Me too!
There’s a bunch of comments saying they don’t like Wills voice but I personally think it’s unique and really fits the role. You can fight me but just listen to the 8-bit big band 2 player game HE SOUNDS AMAZING IN IT😁
Ikr I wasn’t a fan at first (like a year ago) and I finally came back and HES SO GOOD OH MY GOD
He’s got a good voice, clear consonants. Many fans are just upset that he got the Broadway role instead of Will Connolly
THE AGAIN AT THE END KIND OF REMINDS ME OF I WRITE SINS,,, ALSO THIS IS SO GOOD HIS VOICE IS GREAT
Omfg you're right! I cant unheard it now lol
Blue AHHH WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME
it’s the same note !! At the beginning they both hit the same note 😂 I thought that too
YEAH OMGGGG EVERY TIME I HEAR THE SONG I START SIGNING HAVENT YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF.....,
i need a will rollands cover of this song immediately
I totally forgot how talented Will Roland is omfg
Will finally got his solo
Joe having the fun of his life in the background
This is amazing and I love it! ❤️
KINKY!!!!
Wait.......wrong musical
My dear... why.
xAziraphale
Ya like musicals Crowley ?
5:15
I love how this sounds so dramatic like a villain song because it's when Jeremy fully disconnects with himself to become "a better version of himself", leaving everything/everyone behind
joe iconis? more joe ICONIC
Can I just say I love what this song does for Jeremy's character. Listening to the pre-broadway soundtrack it just felt wrong that he would immediately follow the word of a guy who verbally abuses him and makes him feel horrible about himself. This song does a lot to explain his mindset and why he makes the decision he does. I also love that it makes him an active agent in his own life: like its it's clear that he's the one making the choice and he's not being forced to do it. He's delightful complex, making a deplorable decision and yet you can completely understand why he would want to make that decision.
Just discovered "Goin' Viral" the other day, and now this?? Let this boy sing more solos damnit!
i highkey have a crush on will
i see will roland, i click
It’s that simple
It's 2023... song still slaps, underrated for sure
Gotta say, I love the part in this version where "prompt me, command me" is so much more intense... it makes the build up so much more suspenseful and the drop right after so much more satisfying!
idk if it's just me, but i am _shooketh_ by how different will looks without his glasses
Even though this song cut out one of my favorite parts from the original musical, it’s still great because it gives context to why Jeremy is making the decision to “upgrade” and shit. And the fact he’s self aware that’s he’s abandoning his one true friend adds to it I guess IMO. One of the other things I like more about this than the tiny segment in the original, is Jeremy’s sarcasm that’s almost complete anger that’s just suppressed?? I don’t know I ain’t good with words.
Joe iconic, am I right? *laugh track plays* o r I g I n a l
God. This musical meant so much to me when I was 17 or so. Especially this song, I related to Jeremy so much. I’ve always felt different from my peers. A few weeks ago I was finally diagnosed with autism. I finally have an explanation for why I was always the loser, geek, or whatever. And I’m so happy with it. I don’t want to change myself anymore.
I love the way Will Roland sing this song. He feels so angry but vulnerable, being hurt so much. And it's so cute that Joe Iconis keeps jumping around back there lol
Every single lyric in this song is relatable, but the most relatable one is:
“If Brooke can look me in the eye like I’m some normal handsome guy
I’m a trans guy, and my name is ironically Jeremy. My ex best friend was called Brooke and she didn’t support me in the slightest. This line breaks my heart every time I hear it because I know she’s never gonna see me like a ‘normal handsome guy’.
This singular line is why I headcanon Jeremy as trans. That one relatable line.
I get it man. I'm also trans, although this is pretty much a villain song it helps me out.
Me: *watchs Dear Evan Hansen and falls in love with Jared*
Also, me: *watchs Be More Chill (2019) and falls in love with Jeremy*
Also me: *starts to stalk Will*
I MEAN HES SO CUTE
This, is one of the few additions I’m okay with, with the broadway version
Im sad... but Will Roland is too precious I LOVE HIM
Will: singing his heart out
Joe: silently bopping around
i like how joe’s just there to do a lil dance
joe's little dances when listening to the songs makes me adore him even more :)
This song really was made for Will Roland- it suits him so WELL
thE gEEek
It sounds so much like an inspirational, getting better song until you listen to the words and start hearing the lies he now believes about himself....the problem has always been me...
I love watching Joe in the back jumping up and down lmao
Mhmmmmm, sorry, but Jeremy was confirmed as player 2 quite a while ago... or was that to signify that he's like being player 1 now, like the popular kid? Anyway, amazing song!❤❤
Yes it is confirmed that he is player 2 and 1 is Michael and that's the point of this song/that specific lyrics( in my opinion) I think the reason why he says "IM PLAYER ONE!" Is becuz he is tired of being the player 2,the loser,geek,underdog, or whatever and now he wants to be not the loser,the geek or whatever and to do that he needs to make some sacrifices aka destroying his friendship with Michael and his relationship with his dad
@@smthnbatey That's a very good point and I can see how that song reflects Jeremy's struggle in the musical. That makes a lot more sense, thank you!!
It proves that he’s getting rid of Michael - joe didn’t do that accidentally. Usually writers don’t add small details like that unless they want people to notice there’s a significant change in a character’s mindset.
I'm really just here for 4:15 to the end. I love how angry he is and how he is openly accepting corruption .
5:15 I don't know why, but that key change makes me feel emotional
That key change always gets me jesus I’m on the ground
hes such a precious egg ahhh i love it!
Dangit I have to memorize _this_ now?!
No. You get to memorize this now
DJ Bubblegum true
Jeremy and Michael: We make it a two player game!
Jeremy: I’m player one!
Breaks my heart tho, it really shows the moment when Jeremy chooses to leave Michael behind him to be popular.
I love how there's so much emotion in his voice! :>
I'm LOVING the new Broadway album on Spotify! Totally made my day (and road trip!) to see it there. It's different enough from the original that it feels fresh, but close enough that it still seems like a friend
4:50 those sound effects are just yes! Yes! YESSSS!
I absolutely love the new cast. They fit the characters so well and are so passionate about this musical and project. I and a lot of us would love a revamped soundtrack with the new cast!
"The loser, geek or.... whatever..."
*VERY SPECIFIC*
XD
Jared would be so disappointed!
@@ArabellaTurner Underrated comment. Lowkey want someone to write a crossover fanfic where Jared and Jeremey meet, lol
i cannot get enough of the way will roland delivers the please don't speak line. anyway, since the producer has established they are not going to release the show on film, and they clearly have this song in its entirety when performed onstage, i really really wish they would release it. i mean, what do they have to lose at this point?!?!
I love will so much omg
"If Christine likes me in the end, will I be able to pretend I didn't fail my one true friend?"
Okay Jeremy that hurt
thank you, song for reminding us that all of this happened because of jeremys low self-esteem. it reminds us that there is no real villain to this story (well, besides the squip but he's just an overpriced tictac who worked in a shoe store)
Overpriced tictac 😂
idk but the way he sings 'geek' is so will wood core
sick of being the looser the gEEk or whatever
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IM DYING, THIS IS SO GOOD. GOD WILL IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!
