Ben Platt - Hurt Me Once [Official Audio]

Показать описание

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.

As gut-wrenching as this song is on the album, in concert it is absolutely devastating. Just sitting on a stool with the spotlight, pouring his soul out. 3, 200 people totally quiet as Ben sings of betrayal and heartbreak. No theatrics, just the voice and the lyrics. The power in simplicity was on full display. Ben, you were absolutely incredible.

"if I had it my way, I'd be kinder than you. "
That line has so much emotion it hurts

I think we just found our king of sad songs for 2019

I'm sure it was nothing
But you never used to bring somebody else along
Used to be our thing
Going to a movie, then we wander home
All these little landmines
All these little things that one can read two ways
Like when you take every call outside
Seems that I've forgotten how to read your face
But I know you too well to get it wrong

If you have to hurt me, hurt me once
If you have to end it, get it done
You have all these choices, I have none
You're all that I have to lose
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to
I've decided on you

If you keep it going
Then one by one, the memories will start to blur
You'll ruin the good ones
But I guess my photo album's none of your concern
Don't humor me with kindness
There's nothing kind about a hundred small betrayals
If you love me at all, you'll kill it now

If you have to hurt me, hurt me once
If you have to end it, get it done
You have all these choices, I have none
You're all that I have to lose
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to
I decided on you, I've decided on you

And if I'm disappointed
It's 'cause you're not the person I knew
If I had it my way, I'd be kinder than you
I'm sure I'll forgive you, and soon
I'm ashamed that I'm proud of it, too
I decided on you

“You are all that I have to lose... couldn’t hurt you if I wanted to”

Love is sometimes the only thing we have... love it and hold it close

I don't think I can put into words how much I love Ben Platt, his voice, and everything he represents. I love all his songs. The pure raw, emotion value. He's so human, a rare thing.
I just-
I want him to be okay. And I want him to know that. You know?
God. I'm writing a paragraph again, aren't I? I know I'm late. But.
We're here, Alright?
You have a bigger impact on people then you realize.
This goes for everyone reading the comment.
Love you.

amazing. It's like...saying "If you're going to string me along then leave me already. I don't want to keep falling for someone as amazing as you if you can't share the same feelings as mine. I don't regret anything with you, but please don't string me along."
It's also saying that if it comes to that decision they'll forgive them and accept it.

The Chasing Cars vibes are really strong in this one ("if you have to end it"/"if I lay here")

My boyfriend just broke up with me and he isn't being completely honest with me why he is, this song is everything I feel. Its better to be honest and heal than to lie and keep lying.
