We really loved performing this song on #AGT and we wanted to release a full version
STREAM ON SPOTIFY HERE: open.spotify.com/album/2oqLUT...
We noticed there is no official version of this song that doesn't have all the dialog from the play, so we decided to record our own "chat -free" version! As you can see, all the instruments were played live by my stupidly talented brother Nate (Baasik), and the vocals were recorded by me, Nate, and my amazing fiance, Claire. We initially recorded this for our live show (so far we've only played at a few private functions, but we're hoping to take it on the road once we release our new album... oh yeah, we're working on that too).
Anyway, since we had already recorded the instrumental and backing vocals for our show, we decided it wouldn't hurt to release our cover RU-vid as well (I'm no Ben Platt, but I tried my best!) Unfortunately, even before uploading this, I know for a fact that it'll get copyright flagged just like everything I upload these days so, if you like it, please stream it on Spotify. At least we'll get a small percentage from that.
I'm gonna get real for a sec... I miss making RU-vid videos, but if I'm completely honest, the copyright flagging and subsequent blacklisting and algorithmic punishment have gotten so bad that I can no longer make a living off of RU-vid... I've had to dedicate most of my time to the things that allow me to pay the bills... So there ya have it, that's why you haven't seen me post in such a long time (well, that and America's Got Talent took up a TON of time. Every minute on stage represented about ten hours of work! It takes a lot to get an act like that approved, rehearsed, and running smoothly).
Still, this RU-vid thing might be a blessing in disguise... Once I find my footing in my new career path, I'll be able to post videos without worrying about schedules, status, algorithms, or money! Hopefully, y'all will like that... I've always tried to be true to myself and not get caught up in the latest trends just so I can make a quick buck off of them. It's very tempting when your living depends on it, but now that it doesn't, I'm free to make what I want to make! The stuff that makes me smile! I hope it makes you smile, too, if you're able to find it. I know the algorithm will no longer recommend my content, so if you guys wanna see my new stuff, please make sure you have notifications turned on! Otherwise, feel free to unsubscribe. I won't let the channel die, but I'm also not gonna keep up with the latest trends (unless it's something that interests me). I'm gonna do what I want to do and just hope that my passion is contagious and makes other people as happy as it makes me. Thank you all so much for everything!

Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay
'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand
You can reach… reach out your hand
And oh, someone will come running
And I know, they'll take you home
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
You will be found
You will be found
You will be found
There's a place where we don't have to feel unknown
And every time that you call out
You're a little less alone
If you only say the word
From across the silence, your voice is heard
Oooh…. someone will come running…
Ooooh…. to take you home!
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
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
If you only look around
You will be found (You will be found)
You will be found (You will be found)
Out of the shadows
The morning is breaking
And all is new, all is new
It's filling up the empty
And suddenly I see that
All is new, all is new
Even when the dark comes crashin' through
When you need someone to carry you
When you're broken on the ground
(You will be found)
(So when the sun comes streaming in)
You'll reach up and you'll rise again
If you only look around
You will be found
You will be found…
You will be found.
