5 Dear Evan Hansen Songs That Shouldn't "Disappear"

Dear Evan Hansen is fairly new to the broadway stage. To me, it is much needed. So many people can really connect with this story.

This hit musical tells the story of anxiety-ridden Evan Hansen who only wants to fit in. Evan Hansen puts himself in a huge bind when he begins to lie about being friends with a classmate who commits suicide. Through different events that take place, Evan finds himself with the girl of his dreams, and sees himself as no longer invisible.

But eventually, Evan is faced with a monumental decision. Will he tell the family the truth and risk giving up everything he's ever dreamed of or will he keep everything to himself?

The songs in this remarkable show are incredible, and they take you though a range of emotions. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, you can probably think of a time in your life when you could relate to them. There are 14 songs on the original cast recording, but here are 5 of the most relatable.

1. Waving Through A Window

"On the outside, always looking in,
Will I ever be more than I've always been?"

"I'm waving through a window,
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?"

2. Disappear

"No one deserves to be forgotten,
No one deserves to fade away"

"Even if you've always been that barely-in-the-background kind of guy,
You still matter"

3. You Will Be Found

Jessie Voigts from Flickr

"Let that lonely feeling wash away,
Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay"

"Even when the dark comes crashing through,
When you need a friend to carry you,
And when you're broken on the ground,
You will be found"

"So let the sun come streaming in,
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again,
Lift your head and look around,
You will be found"

4. Only Us

Soph San from Flickr

This song just really hits home when it comes to relationships. Sometimes people just need to hear these things.

"I don't need you to sell me on reasons to want you,
I don't need you to search for the proof that I should,
You don't have to convince me,
You don't have to be scared you're not enough,
'Cause what we've got going is good"

5. Words Fail

Out There Global from Flickr

The title says it all; sometimes words just fail.

"Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done"

"There's nothing I can say,
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted,
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had,
And it's right there, right there, right there,
In front of you,
And you want to believe it's true,
So you make it true,"

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
