This moment made me cry for some reason, plus this song hits hard for someone in their mid 20s trying to figure things out :(

After watching “The Politician”, I am a fan. Fantastic talent that Ben has. Can’t wait to hear and see more of his work.

Why does this song make me want to cry but like a good cry lol

I firmly believe that in the second season, we missed more scenes of Ben singing.

Billy Joel needs to see this performance

I legit cried when I first heard this. Only Ben Platt and Jeremy Jordan can have that affect on me

He killed in this performance.

I’ve decided any and every song should be sung by Ben Platt and Ben Platt only.

"you are so ambitious, for a juvenile..." This is not only to younger Payton, this is to most of our younger selves. 💜💜💜

Gosh his runs are just impeccable.

I dunno about y'all, but Ben Platt has some serious skill. That vibrato was impressive in itself, but layering it upon all those falsetto embellishments was simply beautiful to hear. He really inspires me to be honest.

the reason why I live is this

The best he ever sounded!

feels like the entire first season was written solely for this amazing performance

Lyrics Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart, then tell me Why are you still so afraid? Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've got so much to do And only so many hours in a day But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through When will you realise, Vienna waits for you Slow down, you're doing fine You can't be everything you wanna be before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight Well, too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong, you know You can't always see when you're right, you're right You've got your passion, you've got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realise, Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy child And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realise, Vienna waits for you? And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get half way through Why don't you realise, Vienna waits for you When will you realise, Vienna waits for you?

When i watched this scene i thought i know this song but its from the series for sure how can a song be so well written for a character, then i remembered these car rides listening to Billie Joel. My congratulations to whoever brought that song back to this show

This is a very moving and emotional version. When River appeared I caught the feels real bad. Wished there had been more of them together. The characters had legit chemistry.

i know is not comparable...but just imagine Freddie Mercury singing this amazing piece of art😲💕

This particular scene really covered the whole season .just love it 😍

Brings a grown damn man to tears every time.

This song hits me so hard that I cry everytime I hear it.

Ben Platt is truly amazing when it comes to singing and acting! Truly loved him in “Dear Evan Hansen” and now he’s making a career for himself with acting and making his own songs!

I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN I WAS WATCHING THIS SCENE😭😭😭

This is GOOSEBUMP Vibratto

i’ve loved this song since seeing “13 Going on 30” for the first time. this is a great cover.

im in love, he's so cute and his voice is amazing

Ugh, his rendition makes me CRYYYYYYY. Damn, he's incredible.

2:38 absolutely BROKE me

I looooooooooved his performance. It was brilliant and full of passion. I love this show and i can’t wait for season 3!!!!!!!

I love Ben so much, it's scary. I bought "Dear Even Hansen" soundtrack, the book, "Dear Even Hansen", his CD, "Sing To Me Instead", and cancelled Netflix DVD's just to watch "The Politician"!!! I'm a fan!!!!

this is actually perfect. his voice is just unbelievable

I miss this show so much, this song hits really hard and it's just perfect in Ben's voice!

One of the most beautiful renditions of this song. Always makes me tear up. I loved him in pitch perfect and I still love him now!

I'm rewatching this episode just to hear him sing. I love this guy so much he's awesome!!!!

I just love this boy and his voice so very much! The Politician was a brilliant show, and the songs were phenomenal.

Mildred: Slow down, you're doing fine, you can't be everything you want to be before your time

[Verse 1] Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart Tell me why are you still so afraid, hmm? Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've got so much to do And only so many hours in a day, ayy [Chorus 1] But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want Or you can just get old You're gonna Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh When will you realize Vienna waits for you? [Verse 2] Slow down, you're doin' fine You can't be everything you wanna be Before your time Although it's so romantic On the borderline tonight, tonight Too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself That you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong You know you can't always see when you're right You're right [Chorus 2] You've got your passion You've got your pride But don't you know That only fools are satisfied? Dream on But don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh When will you realize Vienna waits for you? [Instrumental break] [Chorus 3] Slow down, you crazy child And take the phone off the hook And disappear for a while It's all right, you can afford To lose a day or two, ooh When will you realize Vienna waits for you? [Chorus 1] And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want Or you could just get old You're gonna Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you? [Outro] When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

NON VEDO L'ORA SIA IL 19, CHE SERIE FANTASTICA

His runs are crazy....and his vibrato is perfect

There's no one like him for this song, had to hear this from Ben and no one else

Alguém do Brasil? Curte aqui! - Como sou apaixonado por esse cara... Que voz! 😍

Recuerdo que cuando vi esta escena por primera vez, las lagrimas brotaron sin parar

Ben Platt is really a good singer/actor! Talented guy! 🤩🙌🙌

Always has been one of my favorite Billy Joel songs

I was watching Ryan Reynolds and was falling asleep and then I heard this thinking it was Cher. It was so good! :)

Mi fa sempre piangere

I prefer this over the one on Ben's channel because his expressions are on a diffrent level🤩🤩

I can’t stop listening

Ben Platt has the voice of an angel.

Che canzone splendida

Esse cara é incrível! Gente do céu!! Bennn 🥰

Maravilloso!!!

Amo davvero quest'uomo

It's just like a conversation with himself 🥺 And every time I watch this clip, it always makes me cry but in a cool way

Because of this song, it makes me want to go to Vienna 😭 Oh, Vienna wait for me!

This song is all about ambition and time is limited. Time is never inifit but ambition is an imagination that you have to grab or Vienna waits for you.
