I know right. Same with Michael in the bathroom. He has such a amazing voice and always puts so much emotion into his songs. I absolutely love him. And wish I had known about him (and BMC) sooner.
Disney Fan 626 same here. I wish I saw the original production. But I am in the car with my mom on the way to see the revival in NYC which he is in so I have no room to complain😂
Disney Fan 626 George is the nicest human being I’ve ever met!!! After I met him and he was signing other peoples playbills I met the squip and that was the last person who came out so when I was leaving I was crying over how amazing and nice everyone was. I told George that I was Micheals biggest fan and I loved him and he was so happy! In my picture I got with him he has a peace sign up so you can imagine how great that pic is. And during the show I had 5th row and during Loser Geek or Whatever Will looked RIGHT AT ME!!! So in the car I was fangirling so hard😂
Honestly, when he goes "No you can't come" I always feel like he's about to break into Micheal in the Bathroom. "No you can't come (in)" Good lord, it's a conspiracy. All songs George Salazar sings are connected. All songs George Salazar sings are great
UMMMMMMMM???? WHERE DO I BEGIN? EVERYTIME HE SAYS “Ever” IT SOUNDS HEAVENLY. HE IS AN ANGEL YOU CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE HE MUST BE PROTECTED. AND ARE THOS TEARS I SEE?? IM IN PAINNNN
man joe iconic is so good like he makes soft and at the times George is singing about reminiscing on memories and when he sings louder he plays the piano louder snd louder until George’s voice drops and holy fuUuUck
okay yeah this song still slaps but it’s been a YEAR? i’m actually gonna cry i don’t know why this is the thing that made me realized TIME EXISTS but like i remember it being at the most 7 months ago??? HUH???
One thing I love about this album is how raw is. Just two guys doing what they love in a field where they’ve been blessed with immense talent. Raw and not overproduced. This is more of what the world needs.
George Salazar's voice is so beautiful, it's amazing how he can express so much emotion but have so much control over his singing. Also, Joe Iconis is just pure piano goals, he inspires me so much. They're both just amazing, I downloaded the album as soon as it came out.
You're welcome The time has come I'm flying away Mouth is numb Heart don't know what to say And although I'll be out of sight, dear Know I'll be right here Right here forever, ever, ever, ever And when you Look to the night skies Don't think of goodbyes Think how I'm right here Ever, ever, ever Thank you for teaching me lessons Thank you for listening to mine Man, you know how to ride a bike now Don't be scared You'll be fine And although I'll be out of sight, dear Know I'll be right here Right here forever, ever, ever, ever And when you Look to the night skies Don't think of goodbyes Think how I'm right here Ever, ever, ever Come No you can't come with me Stay I wish I could Goodbye I know it's hard to say Come No you can't come with me Stay I wish I could Goodbye I know it's hard to say Ouch!

Id love to do a cover of this song but ive listened to this song SIX times and i still havent stopped crying to it so yeah _singing this is impossible_
Ok but imagine Michael singing this to himself (but towards Jeremy) when he realises that Jeremy is too cool for him now He loves him so much that he stops trying to rekindle their friendship (or relationship if you ship boyf riends) because he thinks that Jeremy is better off without him
this song makes me think of that scene in Hey Arnold where the pigeon man flew away with a bunch of birds and arnold just sat there heartbroken watching him
For my BMC fans who want to cry more: As high school comes to an end, the SQUIP-squad unveils their plans for college. Everyone says they'll be staying in New Jersery for college. Until Rich asks Michael where he'll be going. Michael reveals that he will be going to a college in California. The group gasps and heads to talk to Michael's parents, but they said there was nothing they could do. Michael sighed. The group had no other choices but to accept Michael would be leaving them. And they will have to wait a long while to see him again. The squad packs in as much fun times as they could during the summer, but all things had to come to an end. Michael got his bags, gave his parents a loving goodbye and headed out. He arrived at the airport and saw none other than his friends there. Rich, Chole, Jenna, Brooke, Jeremy, Jake, and Christine all attacked Michael with a big group hug as soon as they saw him. Everyone started to cry as they squeezed on tight to Michael. Jeremy, Michael's first and best friend, stepped forward and gave Michael a picture of the squad with messages from all of them on the back. Michael gave Jeremy one last hug. Michael thanked everyone and couldn't wait to see everyone Winter break. Michael hugged everyone else one more time and went into the airport. Later on the plane, Michael got a text. It was from Brooke. It was a picture of the group all together eating ice cream with the caption, "Miss you already, dork!" Michael sighed, smiling. Maybe this won't be too bad after all.
My idea of how things went: After the whole Squip situation was done with, things calmed down. Jeremy finally mustered up the courage to ask Christine on a date, and over the past months they had been getting closer and closer. No one would be surprised if they started going out soon. He became popular around the students and he learnt how to deal with his awkwardness, which as present as it still was, had improved to the point where he didn't struggle talking to people. He was more chill, and people loved his personality, which had been hidden because of his social anxiety. He became an inspiration to others, who followed his example and put more effort into friendships and doing more than just surviving. They started enjoying life. On the other hand, Michael saw his best friend slowly drift away. He was happy for him. Of course he was. He had finally found his place and managed to fit in... But where did that leave Michael? What happened to the two-player game? Michael watched Jeremy from a distance. He felt a mixture of emotions: nostalgia, sadness, pride. But most of all, he felt as if he was being left behind. So he made a decision. As months continued to pass, summer vacation was just around the corner and Michael announced his news to his friends: He was moving away. He watched his friends' expressions. There were a lot of different reactions: some people were shocked, some sad, some simply unbothered. Jeremy seemed... betrayed. After school, Jeremy and Michael went to Michael's basement, where Michael explained everything. How he wanted to find his place in life, meet new people... find a new love. They talked about their shared memories: when they learned how to ride a bike together; all the hours spent playing games; all the nights where they would simply stare at the night sky without sharing a word. Just spending time together. All these precious moments would never be forgotten. Weeks later, they said their goodbyes. No unnecessary words were said. No tears were shed. They already knew everything the other was feeling. They hugged. A hug which seemed to last forever but was way too short at the same time. Then they pulled away and went their separate ways. ~The End~ I do apologise lmao that was long... Cough, cough...um... Yeah.
First off, my heart is dead, thank you- Second, this prompt is??? Fucking??? Amazing???? Like, hot DAMN, I love this!! -I might write something around it-
As a parent slowly dying of multiple organ failure, I listen to this song and think about my wife and wonderful daughter and hoping they feel these words as they speak so well to how it feels...
This song is my sexuality The way he says "dear" and the rising tension in "ever" and the facial expressions just have me like 😍😍😍😍😍 Not to mention the piano jfc👏👏😍😍😍
:OOOO George Salazar's voice is just breathtaking with no autotune or nothin' (at least, I can't hear any) and it's just so incredible ;;;; He's so talented and wonderful. A truly beautiful person. ^^ And Joe Iconis is greatly talented as well. Don't want to leave him out.
The reason im crying is because it reminds me of Grover (George's former role PJO) is like saying goodbye to percy, juniper, and Annabeth. It's so sad!!! Also its 1 am and im just scrolling through youtube like and idiot who's with me
Incase you're crying, I have to tell you something...... *ITS FROM JAPAN!!!!* Hopefully you're smiling too now :') Ps: Look Ma! I'm famous! *Edit 2020:* wow I completely forgot I wrote this comment, but coming back a year later I’ve read through every comment, all 72 of them and W OW.

I hope you guys keep smiling every time you read this comment, it genuinely makes me happy to have cheered up _someone_ . Also, please remember that you’re important to somebody. Everyone has someone who cares, whether they realise it or not. stay safe and stay alive my dudes, take care of yourselves xxx
The first time I heard this song was about three years ago. One of my childhood friends had passed away about a few months prior and my mental health was really bad to begin with but her death made it worse. When I heard this song the only memory I have is curling into a ball and crying at the climax. I still tear up when I listen to it. This album and musical theatre in general really helped me when everyone else forgot about my friend.
I never thought George Salazar could remind me of my grandma who committed suicide but I don't even hardly hear him in this song, it's just her. Thank you I desperately needed this. R.I.P Nancy 2013
I sang this to my friends and peers on our last day of Middle school since I'm moving to a foreign country for high school. It was really emotional, I cracked a lot during during the performance, because I knew these people since we were all 3 years old. It was hard to say goodbye, and I got hugged very tightly by the girls and emotional high fives from the guys. Listening to this again, I'm crying harder than I was before, yet I thank George Salzar and Joe Iconis for making that goodbye so much more beautiful.
In a Theater Mania article he says about writing it; This is another song that's decidedly about two things. One is a father saying goodbye to his young son. The dad is trying to make it OK so that when the kid looks back, he'll think of the good times he had with his old man, not the pain of his death. It's based on a cousin of mine who died very young and left two little kids behind. The other thing it's about is…the final scene of E.T.…the idea of a father saying goodbye to his kid is the same thing as E.T. saying goodbye to Elliott. The song is full of E.T. references from that final scene like: "Come," "Stay," "Ouch," etc. [and] to me, that final wordless coda that ends "The Goodbye Song" relates to the final series of images of all the main characters, set to John Williams' iconic score.
He wrote it as a stand alone song that was performed by a group of actors he worked with in the late 2000s early 2010s then it got chosen for the show Smash. The song is about a dying father saying goodbye to his young kid.
i got a tattoo of a night sky with the words "don't you forget me" because this song makes me think of the best teacher and best friend i had in life, that sadly passed away almost three years ago.
This song literally just keeps reminding me that I’ll be moving and leaving all my friends behind in a couple of weeks😭 But i still listen to it because it’s too goooooood😭😢
I first found this song in May, and I became obsessed with it. A month later, my Dad was killed by a drunk driver, a hit and run. Now I return to this song for a comfort I wish I had no need for.
For some reason, I always listen to this song whenever I'm having a anxiety/panic attack and it gets a lot better. George's voice feels comforting and it's incredible how calming it is. It's like there's someone actually there, for ever and ever. Almost like a imaginary friend? Is this weird? I'm sorry if it is
Never fails to make me cry. The sky is exactly what my grandmother tells me to look at when she passes, so I know that she’s with me. She’s still with us, but the day that this song will be all too real, I will forever treasure this piece as a tribute to her, and or, this song be from her perspective, as if singing to us. Thank you.
I found this song on Spotify, so I added it to the wrong playlist, the one I use for work and it came on while I was cooking a pizza. I was just standing there sobbing while I put pepperoni on a pizza and my coworkers didn't know what to do with me. Needless to say, I made sure to change the playlist it was on so it didn't happen again.
I remember listening to this 3 years ago and being absolutely captivated by George's emotion, and just the lyrics. I lost my mom two years ago and sang this song the day of, and it will forever be a comfort song of mine that gets me to remember and connect with my mom. Nonetheless this song never fails to turn me into an utter train wreck.
Whenever I listen to this song all I think is Michael writing a suicide note after he realizes he has no one left cause jeremy was his only friend and he left him and im crying now
Coming back after losing my big sister suddenly, it hits so much more. It hurts knowing she'll never get to see the man I'll become, she'll never know and I just have to hope I'm making her proud and she still feels my love wherever she is.
The first part sounds like a parent leaving their child at college and the last part after the "no you can't come with me" sounds like a parent dying. Especially the "I'd stay if I could, but the universe won't let me. So please, be good. Don't you forget me" part.
Ugh, his beautiful voice is to good for such heartbreaking lyrics, yet he makes this heartbreaking song good with all of the emotion he puts behind it. In the beginning, he doesn't make his rough pain, like in Michael in the Bathroom, it's a slow lead-up to the tears and when he says "No you can't come with me" so roughly, it just breaks my already shattered heart, and he just makes it so hard to listen to with "Don't you forget me" and so hard to not listen to it a million times with his amazing vocal skills shown off in the chorus' "ever, and ever" and it's just TOO MUCH, especially near the end when he sings it faster, and the amazing vocalizing with his falsetto, I CAN'T! I'm sorry that I'm probably sobbing so hard that you can hear me from space, but IT'S TOO HARD NOT TO CRY!
I’ve always taken this song as a parent saying goodbye to their child before they die. Such a sad premise, and such a hear wrenching delivery! His voice is so full of emotion it’s unbelievable!
My favorite part is that you can see Joe Iconis about to cry a couple of times, regardless of the fact that he helped make it and has heard every part many times
“I’d stay if I could, but the universe won’t let me. So please be good, and don’t you forget me.”
I’m fine. Definitely.
Im probably gonna send this to everyone I love on my last day on earth...
It makes me want to cry

Yes! I love how you can actually hear George's voice break a little bit in parts. It makes it feel natural and more emotional.
Ikr??? Its simple but its gorgeous and wonderfull
My name being Stephanie also makes this kind of more true-
Irrelevant lol
This is a heinous night.
-the entire bmc fandom, August 19th, 2019.
George Salazar's voice is so beautiful, it's amazing how he can express so much emotion but have so much control over his singing. Also, Joe Iconis is just pure piano goals, he inspires me so much. They're both just amazing, I downloaded the album as soon as it came out.

Ok but imagine Michael singing this to himself (but towards Jeremy) when he realises that Jeremy is too cool for him now
He loves him so much that he stops trying to rekindle their friendship (or relationship if you ship boyf riends) because he thinks that Jeremy is better off without him
Idk if this idea has already been done but if there are any animators that see this comment then pleaseee animate this I’d watch it a thousand times

If that’s something you’d like to then I’d definitely watch that!

Mackenzie Wade Uh. You know what... I won’t question um
LMFAO 😂
Great... Now I'm laughing really hard, while crying my eyes out.
For my BMC fans who want to cry more:
As high school comes to an end, the SQUIP-squad unveils their plans for college. Everyone says they'll be staying in New Jersery for college. Until Rich asks Michael where he'll be going. Michael reveals that he will be going to a college in California. The group gasps and heads to talk to Michael's parents, but they said there was nothing they could do. Michael sighed. The group had no other choices but to accept Michael would be leaving them. And they will have to wait a long while to see him again. The squad packs in as much fun times as they could during the summer, but all things had to come to an end. Michael got his bags, gave his parents a loving goodbye and headed out. He arrived at the airport and saw none other than his friends there. Rich, Chole, Jenna, Brooke, Jeremy, Jake, and Christine all attacked Michael with a big group hug as soon as they saw him. Everyone started to cry as they squeezed on tight to Michael. Jeremy, Michael's first and best friend, stepped forward and gave Michael a picture of the squad with messages from all of them on the back. Michael gave Jeremy one last hug. Michael thanked everyone and couldn't wait to see everyone Winter break. Michael hugged everyone else one more time and went into the airport.
Later on the plane, Michael got a text. It was from Brooke. It was a picture of the group all together eating ice cream with the caption, "Miss you already, dork!" Michael sighed, smiling. Maybe this won't be too bad after all.
Mr. Spoops > I just imagined Michael committing suicide post-SQUIP. And this song was just a goodbye. oof
I'm a mess. Yea I tried to not make people cry THAT much
Mr. Spoops holy fuck I hate you so much but I also love you so much right now,,,,
Meh Space Dorito hehehehhe
Oouch my soul.....
George Salazar is amazing, so is Joe Iconis. I love this so much. ❤
God, it makes me cry.
Joe Iconis? More like Joe *Iconic*
they'll never have any idea how much i needed this.
My idea of how things went:
After the whole Squip situation was done with, things calmed down. Jeremy finally mustered up the courage to ask Christine on a date, and over the past months they had been getting closer and closer. No one would be surprised if they started going out soon. He became popular around the students and he learnt how to deal with his awkwardness, which as present as it still was, had improved to the point where he didn't struggle talking to people. He was more chill, and people loved his personality, which had been hidden because of his social anxiety. He became an inspiration to others, who followed his example and put more effort into friendships and doing more than just surviving. They started enjoying life. On the other hand, Michael saw his best friend slowly drift away. He was happy for him. Of course he was. He had finally found his place and managed to fit in... But where did that leave Michael? What happened to the two-player game? Michael watched Jeremy from a distance. He felt a mixture of emotions: nostalgia, sadness, pride. But most of all, he felt as if he was being left behind. So he made a decision. As months continued to pass, summer vacation was just around the corner and Michael announced his news to his friends: He was moving away. He watched his friends' expressions. There were a lot of different reactions: some people were shocked, some sad, some simply unbothered. Jeremy seemed... betrayed. After school, Jeremy and Michael went to Michael's basement, where Michael explained everything. How he wanted to find his place in life, meet new people... find a new love. They talked about their shared memories: when they learned how to ride a bike together; all the hours spent playing games; all the nights where they would simply stare at the night sky without sharing a word. Just spending time together. All these precious moments would never be forgotten. Weeks later, they said their goodbyes. No unnecessary words were said. No tears were shed. They already knew everything the other was feeling. They hugged. A hug which seemed to last forever but was way too short at the same time. Then they pulled away and went their separate ways.
~The End~ I do apologise lmao that was long... Cough, cough...um... Yeah.
Welp, I'm crying now thanks
THAT MADE ME CRY MORE I DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE

The reason im crying is because it reminds me of Grover (George's former role PJO) is like saying goodbye to percy, juniper, and Annabeth. It's so sad!!! Also its 1 am and im just scrolling through youtube like and idiot who's with me
it's 4:20 am right now lol
2 13 am lol oof
YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY EVEN MORE. MY PFP IS PERCY JACKSON. He's crying now. because of you.

I went from sobbing to laughing in under 10 seconds HoLy crap
My Chemical Fall Out Pilots I'm glad, let's spread the smiles!
Revisiting this song, I had a huge hyperfixation on this album. It’s been 4 years and it still breaks my heart
I didn't think that they could top Michael in the bathroom's emotional oomph, but this did it
He's got such a beautiful voice. I want him to sing me to sleep every night.
I CANT BREATHE
The first time I heard this song was about three years ago. One of my childhood friends had passed away about a few months prior and my mental health was really bad to begin with but her death made it worse. When I heard this song the only memory I have is curling into a ball and crying at the climax. I still tear up when I listen to it. This album and musical theatre in general really helped me when everyone else forgot about my friend.
I never thought George Salazar could remind me of my grandma who committed suicide but I don't even hardly hear him in this song, it's just her. Thank you I desperately needed this.

I know its late but im so sorry for you're loss
@@ulfhildurjonsdottir7917 Thank you
@@beckwells25 its none of my business but i hope you and you're family are ok and know that she is still watching over you❤
My goodness, thank you so much for your kindness. I needed this today.
I kinda want to sing this to my friends when we all hang out for the last time before we go off to college.... i’m crying so hard right now.
His voice though 😭 So sweet and soft and soothing, perfect.
I sang this to my friends and peers on our last day of Middle school since I'm moving to a foreign country for high school. It was really emotional, I cracked a lot during during the performance, because I knew these people since we were all 3 years old. It was hard to say goodbye, and I got hugged very tightly by the girls and emotional high fives from the guys. Listening to this again, I'm crying harder than I was before, yet I thank George Salzar and Joe Iconis for making that goodbye so much more beautiful.
This is my favorite song off the album ahhh
Alyssa Biggs CONNOR
Alyssa Biggs Oh my lord you like DBH and this album? Can we be friends, lol

@@fruityloops511 I’m a year late but it’s called 2 player game
Since this was sung at the final curtain call of be more chill, I'm never gonna be okay
I didn't even realize that I was crying.. man this song just hit me hard in the feels.
Love ur user name
Don’t mind me, just grossly sobbing because Be More Chill just closed. AUGHH WHY’D THEY USE THIS SONG IT MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME
I HAD TO HOLD BACK TEARS
I audibly gasped when I saw this in my recommended. This is my absolute favorite song of the album
PupCake1025 wait what album? Not BMC.
Mara Lewis 2 player game! It’s an album George made with Joe :)
Didn't expect to cry...
Is their a backstory to this beautiful song because I would like to know?🙃
Grace Ruscheinski it’s from the tv show SMASH
In a Theater Mania article he says about writing it; This is another song that's decidedly about two things. One is a father saying goodbye to his young son. The dad is trying to make it OK so that when the kid looks back, he'll think of the good times he had with his old man, not the pain of his death. It's based on a cousin of mine who died very young and left two little kids behind. The other thing it's about is…the final scene of E.T.…the idea of a father saying goodbye to his kid is the same thing as E.T. saying goodbye to Elliott. The song is full of E.T. references from that final scene like: "Come," "Stay," "Ouch," etc. [and] to me, that final wordless coda that ends "The Goodbye Song" relates to the final series of images of all the main characters, set to John Williams' iconic score.
@@deslinnapayonak9755 we love a hero. Could you post this directly in the comments so that others can find it easily?
He wrote it as a stand alone song that was performed by a group of actors he worked with in the late 2000s early 2010s then it got chosen for the show Smash. The song is about a dying father saying goodbye to his young kid.
i got a tattoo of a night sky with the words "don't you forget me" because this song makes me think of the best teacher and best friend i had in life, that sadly passed away almost three years ago.
George has the voice of a literal angel, I'm in tears
george is so precious and this song is so dear to me
This song literally just keeps reminding me that I’ll be moving and leaving all my friends behind in a couple of weeks😭 But i still listen to it because it’s too goooooood😭😢
I just moved too... but I didn’t have any friends really so I’m fine ;w;
his smile is actually gonna make me cry
I first found this song in May, and I became obsessed with it. A month later, my Dad was killed by a drunk driver, a hit and run. Now I return to this song for a comfort I wish I had no need for.
I don't know how many times have i heard this song but it always feels amazing and hurt in some way, i love George Salazar voice so much
I've been avoiding it for a week because I knew I was gonna cry.
PS: great hair, as ever
George is one of the most beautiful people on earth and we are so blessed by his existence
Yes preach
For some reason, I always listen to this song whenever I'm having a anxiety/panic attack and it gets a lot better. George's voice feels comforting and it's incredible how calming it is. It's like there's someone actually there, for ever and ever. Almost like a imaginary friend? Is this weird? I'm sorry if it is
Never fails to make me cry. The sky is exactly what my grandmother tells me to look at when she passes, so I know that she’s with me. She’s still with us, but the day that this song will be all too real, I will forever treasure this piece as a tribute to her, and or, this song be from her perspective, as if singing to us.
Thank you.
I found this song on Spotify, so I added it to the wrong playlist, the one I use for work and it came on while I was cooking a pizza. I was just standing there sobbing while I put pepperoni on a pizza and my coworkers didn't know what to do with me.
Needless to say, I made sure to change the playlist it was on so it didn't happen again.
iCY HOT you poor soul
That live stream was sad though 😔
I remember listening to this 3 years ago and being absolutely captivated by George's emotion, and just the lyrics. I lost my mom two years ago and sang this song the day of, and it will forever be a comfort song of mine that gets me to remember and connect with my mom. Nonetheless this song never fails to turn me into an utter train wreck.
Michael in the bathroom, singing his goodbye after he loses all hope that Jeremy will ever see him again.
I'm sorry I'm dark as shit
HoityToityBadger i love this so much but hate it so much wt f
oH that makes sense wait I'm crying now
I wans't crying
now I feel like a baby, thank you
Yea holy shit if u think of this and listen, it makes total sensee
OW WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DOT HAT
Whenever I listen to this song all I think is Michael writing a suicide note after he realizes he has no one left cause jeremy was his only friend and he left him and im crying now
No stop you're making me tear up stop
OMG I thought the same and started crying
Ahhhhhh
we were all thinking it
THANKS. IM CRYING MORE THAN I THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANKS.
And that just made me link this to "broadway here I come" so that's a step further.
Thia song reminds me of the first time i read the little prince. My heart aghhh is such a beautiful song ;-;
600ela aw!! man, i was the aviator in a production of the little prince recently and i didn't even think of that but this song totally fits!!
Oh my god it totally kind of fits thanks I love this
Coming back after losing my big sister suddenly, it hits so much more. It hurts knowing she'll never get to see the man I'll become, she'll never know and I just have to hope I'm making her proud and she still feels my love wherever she is.
Damn, only 15 seconds and i want to cry :'v
CAN SOMEONE DO A SU AMV WITH THIS PLEASE? *runs away crying*
You had to bring Steven Universe into this pile of feels.
You had to - *oh god there's more feels coming this is yOUR FAULT*
oH NO *becomes an uncontrollably sobbing mess*
Oh my god I didn't think I could love this song anymore after Smash. I was wrong.
I love george salazar so much I wish I could go see him but I live in IL 😭😭
Sassy Green Pidgeon GET A GODDAMN PLANE TICKET CHILD I LIVE IN INDIANA AND I WANT TO SEE HIM SOOOO BAD
קונים כרטיס ללכת לראות.
I got to meet him September 1st and he is so sweet. It was a frigging 11 hour ish drive but completely worth it.
Dude I live in Germany xD
Alexa Garcia girl same
The first part sounds like a parent leaving their child at college and the last part after the "no you can't come with me" sounds like a parent dying. Especially the "I'd stay if I could, but the universe won't let me. So please, be good. Don't you forget me" part.
Ugh, his beautiful voice is to good for such heartbreaking lyrics, yet he makes this heartbreaking song good with all of the emotion he puts behind it. In the beginning, he doesn't make his rough pain, like in Michael in the Bathroom, it's a slow lead-up to the tears and when he says "No you can't come with me" so roughly, it just breaks my already shattered heart, and he just makes it so hard to listen to with "Don't you forget me" and so hard to not listen to it a million times with his amazing vocal skills shown off in the chorus' "ever, and ever" and it's just TOO MUCH, especially near the end when he sings it faster, and the amazing vocalizing with his falsetto, I CAN'T! I'm sorry that I'm probably sobbing so hard that you can hear me from space, but IT'S TOO HARD NOT TO CRY!
Great....now I'm sobbing. Goodbye Be more Chill...
catch me ugly crying to this entire album at 3 am in my corner _finger guns_
I’ve always taken this song as a parent saying goodbye to their child before they die. Such a sad premise, and such a hear wrenching delivery! His voice is so full of emotion it’s unbelievable!
I AM SOOO DOWN FOR THIS TONED DOWN VERSION AAAA
As a casually suicidal grieving person this helps on nights where the pain cuts too deep.
HOLY HECK THEY BROKE THE ONE EIGHTY RULE
I cry every single time I hear this song. It reminds me of my mom who passed away a year ago. Miss you and love you, mom.
HOLY SHIT IS THIS ONE OF THE NEW SONGS KATELYN MENTIONED?? IF IT IS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL BECAUSE THIS WILL JUST MAKE ME CRY.
all i needed was George Salazar saying “you’ll be fine.” for me to get through the day.
I love this song so much. This video is the best thing that's happened to me today. I wish I could like it more than once.
Jordan Kipp this video is the best thing that ever happened to me since I was born
im crying a whole lot
*cries happy and sad tears* this
....is...... amazing and beautiful........I love George
He is amazing 💕💕♡💜💙❤️❤️💙❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗♥️♡♡💜💕💜♡💜♡❤️💕❤️💕
Damn this somehow makes me love the song even more which I didn’t think was possible
I cant believe they closed be more chill with this masterpiece . I cried
Oh god- oh god-
Guess who’s still crying after the closing of be more chill ;-;
If there is an angel among us, his name is George Salazar.
umm george salazar? you can have the still beating heart from my chest. after all you have given me its the least i can do in return
joe you can have both of my kidneys and three of my fingers (in case you ever need extra fingers)
^^^^
My favorite part is that you can see Joe Iconis about to cry a couple of times, regardless of the fact that he helped make it and has heard every part many times
My lord I'm in tears
I've never cried so much because of such a beautifully sung beautiful song. When I die I'd totally want this played at my funeral.
