    The line that always gets me and makes me misty-eyed:
    "She/He is hard on her/him self,
    She/He is broken and won't ask for help."

      Honestly me too. It’s such an intensely profound song

    Someone. Give this man. A main. BROADWAY. ROLE.
    Sidenote I chose this for an audition because of this video and this is one of the hardest song you could ever imagine, the range it covers, the storytelling, it's written to make it sound like you're sad and stressed and chasing the edge of the broken note an incredible thrill!!! Recommend to any vocalist

    Such a brilliant rendition of this lovely song. One of the things I loved most about it was your choice to present it simply with just the upright piano sound and your fantastic voice…the slight twang accent in your tone…it just speaks to a life lived that the song needs too. I really loved hearing it with a male voice. Really…well done Sir. 🙌🙌❤️❤️

    What a time for country music! / and here I thought Orville Peck had the gay cowboy Elvis/ Roy Orbison angle all sewn up. I'm going to have to revisit that idea after hearing your BABY, YOU ALREADY WON. And I'll tell you why. I think he has a more melodramatic musical theater aspect to his voice whereas you seem to me to come by the drama in your voice more naturally. Either way, i wish you the greatest of success and since I have your attention i'd like to tip my hat to one who came before you, Mark Weigel.

    What was that "of a life that's inside him"? It doesn't make sense to me...

    • @corneliusversa
      @corneliusversa  Рік тому +14

      The original song/story is from the perspective of a woman being pregnant so she is literally referencing 'a life growing inside her' and all the dreams she was not able to achieve prior. For me and as I interpret into my POV...that "life" is really more that feeling of something inside you. Maybe you're reflecting on where you are and it's not really how you thought you would be. Your inner voice speaking out and reminding you to keep living and keep fighting. I guess kind of like an inner dialogue with yourself / soliloquy.

    these words written by Sara Bareilles have never sounded better
    'I would give it all back for
    a chance to start over
    and rewrite an ending or two
    for that boy that I knew
    he is messy, but he's kind
    he is lonely most of the time
    he is all of this mixed up
    and baked in a beautiful pie
    he is gone, but he used to be mine'
    he is me

    The original was about a pregnant woman, this one sounds like a man who was physically abused by his father as a child.

    • @corneliusversa
      @corneliusversa  5 місяців тому +1

      The original song is not about a pregnant woman-although the character of Jenna is pregnant when she sings the song in the context of the show.

    • @LittleFish57

      He didn't change the lyrics, because the lyrics speaks about himself, so, if a male singer sing this it's correct to speak about a boy not a girl... Do you understand the lyrics?
