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

Soph San from Flickr

"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,"

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
