In love love love with this song and this show. What a WOMAN. My absolute hard working kick booty icon. Men can not and will not stop her. I relate. Instagram @Mrahstagram Twitter @Mrahssiah Email Mariahfaith318@gmail.com
I seriously had chills the entire song and that hasn't happened since I saw this on Broadway and Jenn Collela was singing it. And I'm not talking just a chill down my back or on one arm but literally my whole body, even my cheeks, had goosebumps. I cannot wait to see how far you are going to go because I cannot see you being anything less than a household name with a voice like this
I WANT TO WATCH THIS VIDEO REALLY BADLY BUT I’M SEEING THE SHOW THIS WEEKEND AND I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF THE MUSIC BEFOREHAND OR SET ANY EXPECTATIONS AND I’M FREAKING OUT, BUT I’LL COME BACK AFTER I SEE IT OKAY BYE
Yey, enjoy! When going to NYC my family and I had to choose the one Broadway show we would see, I'm glad we chose Come From Away, definitely worth seeing!
I JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING IT! It was sooooooooooo incredibly good! And it was SUCH an emotional rollercoaster. I cried multiple times (so did my mom and sister). This song was probably one of my favorite parts, but it’s hard to decide because it was just SO AMAZING! I would 100% recommend :D Also, I loved this cover and Mariah’s voice is angelic.
"And the one thing I loved more than anything in the world was used as the bomb." My favorite line, high-key, and I love the emotion you packed into it. Just saying
Freaking dead. You killed me. Also I’m saving money to see starry at 54 below and I hope it doesn’t sell out before I can I would love to see you live!!!
Screw the vocals (which were no less breathtaking than usual, but). The emotional power you put into this cover and the passion you put into such a heavy song and complex character absolutely gave me CHILLS by the end of this song, I was shaking. This show has such an emotional impact to me and to see someone cover it with so much positive, passionate energy has me absolutely floored. Keep shining, love!
This song always makes me cry and your cover didn’t fail to do just that. I pray that you keep doing things like these for a long time to come because you are spectacular.
In case someone wants to sing along ;) My parents must have thought They had a crazy kid Cause I was one of those kids Who always knew what I wanted They took me down to the airport To see all the planes depart And watching them fly something inside of me was started I was eight when I told em That I'd be a pilot But I was too young and too short And there were no female captains And my dad said "Be patient" He said "Just see what happens" But I took my first lesson Came down from the sky And told my father I'd fly for the rest of my life And I got my first job Flying for a mortician In a tiny bonanza Just a corpse and me Five dollars an hour For flying dead bodies I had to climb over their faces Just to get to my seat And suddenly the wheels lift off The ground is falling backwards I am suddenly alive Suddenly I'm in the cockpit Suddenly everything's changed Suddenly I'm not too young or too short And the passengers in the back don't complain Suddenly I'm flying company charters Suddenly everything's high Suddenly there's nothing in between Me and the sky American airlines Had the prettiest planes So I applied as a flight engineer But the world war two pilots They all complained They said "Girls shouldn't be in the cockpit Hey lady, hay baby, hey Why don't you grab us a drink?" And the flight attendants weren't my friends back then And they said "Are you better than us do you think?" But I kept getting hired And the world war two crew They retired And the girls all thought much higher of me 1986 the first female American captain in history Suddenly I'm in the cockpit Suddenly I've got my wings Suddenly all of those pilots protesting me Well they can get their own drinks Suddenly there's no one saying stay grounded Looking down passing them by Suddenly there's nothing between me and the sky Suddenly I've got an all female crew The news caught and made headlines across the world Suddenly it stops No one saying "You can't" or "You won't" Or "You know you're not anything cause you're a girl" Suddenly I'm getting married And we're putting pins on the map where we've flown Suddenly I am a mother And suddenly shocked at how much they've grown Suddenly I'm wondering How my parents would feel Seeing me teaching men to be pilots Cause suddenly I am a senior instructor And somehow I'm fifty-one Suddenly I'm flying Paris to Dallas Across the Atlantic and feeling calm When suddenly someone on air to air traffic Says at eight forty-six there's been a terrorist action And the one thing I loved more than anything Was used as the bomb Suddenly I'm in a hotel Suddenly something has died Suddenly there's something in between Me and the sky
I was familiar with Come From Away but hadn't listened to the soundtrack, so let me say the climax of this hit me really, really hard. Great as always, Mariah.
Definitely check it out! It's about a ton of planes that have to touch down at a tiny town's small airport after 9/11 and the passengers and generous townsfolk building relationships. A lot of it is from what actually happened in Gander, the town it takes place in, after 9/11.

Come From Away was my first broadway show and I’ve loved this song since before I saw it and wow! I feel the same spirit and feeling of empowerment and excitement that I do every time I listen to it in this video! 👏👏 Beautiful! Good job with such a special song for me and definitely for everyone else too!
I see notification, I look, Mariah, I click, I enjoy, and then I marvel at how amazing she is. I love you and you are literally my role model. Thank you.
Your singing is absolutely phenomenal. Whenever I am super stressed out, I come to this video because it really helps somehow. I've watched this so many times that when I type youtube into my search engine, this just automatically comes up. Thank you so much for this :)
Wow! I just discovered your channel and words can't describe how stunned I am by your beautiful voice, you put your whole heart into the songs you perform, I can tell. I had chills everywhere.
this song has so much amazing meaning oh my god i love it so much. the show is absolutely wonderful too, still shook. your voice is beautiful and it fits this song so well!!!
Honestly when I say I cry every time I watch this I can’t give a higher compliment. I can count how many times I’ve cried from being emotional in my 20 years on one hand. This gets me every damn time.
This absolutely made my day! One of my favourite theatre songs ever. Not only was your singing simply gorogous but the emotion particularly the ending genuinely has me in tears and I am MADE of goosebumps 😂😭 absolutely wonderful
Just came across your this video and WOW! what a voice, what a presence and your confidence is refreshing! To just sit down and do this one one take like that - even if you rehearsed it a bunch, was so welcoming and lovely. I wish you well on your musical endeavors.
Absolutely love this! Found you through this video, now subscribed and checking out a lot of your other videos! Sharing this with my friends that I've told need to see Come From Away now the show finally made it to the West End
I legit started crying while watching this. I’m feeling not good. Come from away and starkid are not big parts of my life. One of the reasons why I’m still alive. Thanks for being here Mariah, to bright up my day if I need it :)
