    The fact that he ACTUALLY starts crying breaks my heart.

    For those who have not seen Spring Awakening, in this song, JG's character is singing essentially TO the father at the funeral of his best friend, Moritz, who has committed suicide. This song is a soulful lament of "All the things left behind" by this tragic loss of life. Jonathan here is re-living that moment in the musical. And it's wonderfully done.

    I was laughing about his "greatest fuck up" but somewhere in the middle of the song my laughter became huge sobs wow

      Perhaps he was remembering what his character was experiencing when the song was performed.
      In the musical Spring Awakening, Jonathan Groff's character (Melchoir) sings "Left Behind" as a eulogy at his best friend (Moritz's) funeral; each of Moritz's friends lay a flower on his grave while the song is sung. Moritz commits suicide due to the pressures of failing to meet his father/society's standards of success in life, the inevitable punishment of failing to meet the set standards as he failed his school exam, and his fear/regret of not experiencing sex/life.

      This man is insanely good at getting into character. When you watch the reenactment of him messing up he sings two or three lines of the song before reenacting the mess up and he literally gets so into character for that like 7 seconds he looks so upset it's insane

    Last Saturday, I went to the 92Y to see him in the Lyrics and Lyricists : Rogers and Hammerstein Concert. 40 minutes before the show, I went across the street to get a soda at the deli and there he was. He was so polite and kind. Not arrogant at all !! After the show, I chatted with him for a few minutes. He is the real deal. He is genuinely nice. I wish nothing but the best for him. Just hope after he becomes even a bigger Hollywood star, he won't be too busy to come back for another Broadway show.

    After reading the comments before I expected myself to cry. But no. I'm just deeply amazed by his talent. This is beyond talent, this is wondrous. Wow. I'm almost speechless. And mostly because I cry so easily at sad songs. JG, this is the real talent to make me so amazed to forget my own self for a minute.

    I was Georg in Spring Awakening in 2019 and I remember being apart of this song. It was definitely a moment I'll remember. Not to mention the next song 2 minutes after is 'Totally Fked' which has the complete opposite vibe. I remember we were all backstage after this song literally wiping tears away before coming on again for the next upbeat song like nothing had happened hahahaha

    Thanks to this video, calling back the beautiful memory watching Jonathan Groff's Spring Awakening in 2007 in NYC.
    This is my favorite song in the show, so much emotion in it. After all these years, I still touched by Jonathan's singing. He is so sincere and people can sense all the emotion he put through the singing.
    Still remember he & John Gallagher, Jr. walked to us outside the theater after the show and took the photo with us! They're super friendly and nice!!!

      Bek Andrews In the book he isn't. On Broadway they've casted people of a buch of different ethnicities but I'm just hoping for a brown Fiyero for the movie. In general I'd like the movie to reference the book slightly more than it did in the staged version. I doubt that'll happen but I can dream right? lol

    You fold his hands and smooth his tie
    You gently lift his chin
    Were you really so blind
    And unkind to him?
    Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
    To hold him once again
    Now to close his eyes
    Never open them
    A shadow past, a shadow past
    Yearning, yearning for the fool
    It called a home
    All things he never did
    Are left behind
    All the things his mama
    Wished he'd bear in mind
    And all his dad had hoped he'd know
    Oh
    The talks you never had
    The Saturdays you never spent
    All the grown-up places
    You never went
    And all of the crying
    You wouldn't understand
    You just let him cry
    Make a man out of him
    A shadow past, a shadow past
    Yearning, yearning for the fool
    It called a home
    All things he ever wished
    Are left behind
    All the things his mama
    Did to make him mind
    And how his dad had hoped he'd grow
    All things he ever lived
    Are left behind
    All the fears that ever
    Flickered through his mind
    All the sadness that
    He'd come to own
    Oh oh oh
    A shadow past, a shadow past
    Yearning, yearning for the fool
    It called a home
    And whistles through the ghosts
    Still left behind
    whistles through the ghosts
    Still left behind
    It whistles through the ghosts
    Still left behind
    Oh
