    Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.
    Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
    Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

      @@michaelawatters8748 The nonsenses many believe in:
      - visiting moon and mars and that there are billions of years.
      - TV programs (the news channels) and schools share truth.
      - bible is man written.
      - the old devil with the fallens are myth.
      - believe what ever you want, live as you want , you`d be still in heaven.
      - humans aint sinners in need of SALVATION.
      - voting matters and governments care.
      - UFOs come and snap souls away, and not the BLESSED HOPE FOR CHRISTIANS, THE RAPTURE.
      - gender is changeable and that humans are created by Baphomet, who is the devil who didn`t exist.
      - MASONS aint the biggest and worst perverts in need of exposing.
      So, why souls, why do many believe in these nonsenses?
      Truth, which we do not like:
      - there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
      - The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
      - there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
      - there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
      - there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
      - there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
      - the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
      Matthew 7:21
      - the only way to HEAVEN is through the only begotten SON OF GOD: John 14:6
      - There Is a choosing we all must do: Deuteronomy 30:19 , Joshua 24:15
      - humans were created by GOD, in 2 genders, we either were made to be males or females.
      The truth we don`t like:
      - we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
      - we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
      - we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
      - there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
      - the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
      - as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
      ¤ son against his father, father against his son,
      ¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
      ¤ mother in law against daughter in law
      ……Micah 7:6 , Matthew 10:35 ,
      Luke 12:53
      - be not friend with this world but rather:
      Ephesians 5:11
      - Christianity is reality.
      The truth we don`t like:
      - TVs keep the whole mankind under MK MIND CONTROL.
      - there is none trans nor gay, all of it are the consequence from THE MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL.
      - there is noon the greatest lie again played with mankind: THE PROJECT BLUE BEAM.
      - we are deceived 24/7/365 through TV programs /news) and through wicked people.
      - we live in a BABYLON from which all are called to come out. Revelation 18:4
      - without the studying and reading the BIBLE, we then only deceive others, as we also then are deceived ourselves: 2 Timothy 3:13
      - all worldly holidays are pagan.
      - fame and riches come only through the deal with the devil.
      - PRIDE keeps us blind and deaf. Mark 8:18
      - generations of humans are destroyed because: Hosea 4:6
      - dealing with the BIBLE gives us: John 8:32 (TRUTH AND FREEDOM and SALVATION) as we:

I started crying during the scan. But then I quietly began singing Ben's songs and I could calm down. Most of the time singing helps me to relax. My heart beat went down and I stopped crying. Ben you are my hero! I don't know what exactly happened to me in the MRI, I think I just had panic, but your music helped me. Thank you so much!!!

    You say you've been through this before
    You gave away all your secrets
    To someone who up and left you in pieces
    I know the feeling, believe me
    I know the prices you've gotta pay
    I'm sacrificing my freedom
    And all just to get somebody to see me
    Nobody said it was easy
    My heart's been broken and broken and broken and broken
    But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
    That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
    Them one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you
    Hey!
    I know we've both been afraid
    But we can't run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    Hey!
    I know we got what it takes
    Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    We're dancing under the rain
    Breathe deep, let it wash over you
    We're slowly becoming lovers
    I promise you we won't be like the others
    We won't go running for cover
    My heart is broken and broken and broken and broken
    But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
    That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
    Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you
    Hey!
    I know we've both been afraid
    But we can't run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    Hey!
    I know we got what it takes
    Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    We're dancing under the rain
    Broken and broken and broken and broken (we're dancing under the rain)
    But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping (dancing under the rain)
    That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
    Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you (oh)
    Hey!
    I know we've both been afraid
    But we can't run from the wind and the thunder
    When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
    Hey!

    The few times I've stopped listening to music because of stress or work, I've come back to this video to remind me how much music can really help you. I don't know why, there's something about the song and the video that just make me come alive again in a weird way.

    I love the dance, it's a bit awkward and relatable and expressive.

    • @tatsumakimojo5502
      @tatsumakimojo5502 4 роки тому

      heytheredollfacex more than a bit awkward. Only relatable is you are super white or dance disabled.

      @@tatsumakimojo5502 Why you gotta be so rude? I'm 100% sure Ben is tenfold the dancer you could ever be.

      People who hate on his dance are the reason why people dance alone in their rooms.

      Funny thing is, I found his moves super awkward as well but couldn't take my eyes off them. Lol. I've watched this too many times to admit and I find the awkward moves to be captivating. I've never loved awkward more, lol. Keep dancing Benji, keep dancing. Lol
