I think we should all start a petition to get this on Broadway or at least a cast recording! Who's with me?

BRING THIS SHOW BACK AND DO A CAST RECORDING

Anyone else feel like crying after the 4 "I'm not afraid."? Goodness gracious, it's so clear and bone-chillingly beautiful!!

I constantly come back to this song whenever life seems too heavy. Never fails to make me feel better.

I was in show choir in high school and my senior year our theme was basically don't be afraid to be who you are and like breathing was our ballad and I'm so glad I got to sing this I absolutely adore this song 3

I wish EDGES was on iTunes :(

Pasek and paul are geniuses, I don't understand why they aren't more well known!! They have such range with music from hilarious to deeply touching!!!

This version of the song never gets old. It is so beautifully composed and performed! After 2 years, I still come back to watch.

Goosebumps.

I actually cried listening to this today. This song is so appropriate right now, especially when you feel like you'll never achieve your dreams. Have to stop being afraid and start living!

First time I've heard anything from Edges and wow! This is gorgeous

absolutely incredible, four powerhouse singers! So inspiring to see this done so well, I'm looking forward to working with this show!

I still love this song so much!

We are singing this in choir :D I love it!

You start off with a question. (Do I really wanna see?) You wonder, and you doubt. (Do I really wanna know?) You know there's something greater, (Do I wanna grow?) But you can't figure out what road you'd take to get there. Or where this 'there' might be. But you're ready to discover, 'Cause you really wanna see. You open up your eyes, Study and review, what you do. You force yourself to grow. Let that go. Let it be like breathing. It could be like breathing. Let it be like breathing. Take away the questions, Cover up my eyes. Help me notice beauty. Let denim colored skies shower me with sunlight. Let warmth fall down like rain. Render me unable. To possibly explain. I want to search for words, and not know what to say (that's okay) I don't need to know, Let that go. Let it be like breathing. It could be like breathing. Let it be like breathing. Let go of feeling you are anything but beautiful. Let go of thinking you can't do this on your own. Let go of being scared that you might not be good enough. Let go of saying you were meant to be alone. Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, Ah ah ah, I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid! To be... Who I am, who I want to become. Become. Become. Become, become, become, become. Become!

Farah Alvin is life.

Benj and Justin - you know how much I love your music. This performance is the ideal showcase of your work. The music, lyrics and singers are all brilliant. Thanks for re-posting this - I've missed it so much!

I was there for the very first production of this show. With this cast. Absolutely incredible.

I really can't help but love how they all come off the final "become" perfectly in tandem.

Great playlist. Those are some of the best songs to not only listen to but to perform. Amazing choices

i love this song. it just never gets old.

omgosh I am now obsessed with this musical!!😍😍😍 I love perfect!

One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard!

I'm obsessed with this song!

Omg. This is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard!

This is one of the best videos of the 20,000+ I've watched on KZfaq over the last two years. I can't say enough good about it. Kudos to all involved. Thanks to AKB who first introduced me to this song and to Benj and Justin.

Amazing voices! This is so addictive 😍

i love this song!!! I love this piece!!! Please release the whole song :) I love all four of these people!! Love from the UK!!

This is so beautiful...It makes me cry. Especially at 3:52

My God, I love this!

God bless you for putting this up...

goosebumps again?! love love love

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

This song helps with college stress so much. Really.

The echo at 3:50 is BREATHTAKING

i LOVE Whitney Bashor's voice. new idolll :)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.. it is back!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU

Notice how there have been 0 dislikes, that just shows how awesome this song and show is.

It took me 3 years to understand at least in part what's this song is about. It's just amazing. It's just moving. It's just true.

wow! beautiful song

this song is AMAZING

That last chord is pure brilliance. Granted, the whole song is amazing, of course, but still.

OH MY GOD. this made my life.

I saw this show twice with Pasek and Paul on the instrumentals with these actors. What a wonderful show you guys put on at Capital Rep in Albany! Please come back soon :)

Ahhh! This song is very pretty! :D I'm singing this song for my ShowChoir ballad this year :D

Just amazing. This and the rest of the songs have to be on iTunes.

I can never get over this song. Video of my friends and I singing it on my KZfaq channel.

I'm pretty sure I can speak for my best friend and I, that this is now our favorite song in musical theatre (which is saying a lot!), and this is clearly the best version. it's a little disturbing how often we listen to this song, probably responsible for half the views on this vid =)

Brilliance!

It needs to be asap!!!

you are the "Rodgers and Hammerstein" of our generation. beautiful work.

I didn't know that this was the finale to "Edges". I've been aware of versions of the show that end with a version of "Coasting" with this same reprise of "Become" at the end.

Omg WHOA u guys are AMAZING!!! why isn't this song on iTunes!?!

Thanks so much! It really helped :D

best song

This is easily one of the best contemporary pieces out there. PS Has anybody else noticed at 1:35 "Take away the questionsssk?" lol I love it.

yah they're back!

THIS IS AMAZING.

yes please

this is like next to normal only so much better.

@MMKLproductions this show has no real plot, it is a song cycle showing the lives and struggles of several different types of people. There is the person who is completely terrified of finding love, and there is the sisters growing apart, the best guy friends discussing their meaning of the best day ever, the songs they sing together represent something most people have in common, a fear of being one's self and the final discovery that you are perfect the way you are. this is a wonderful show!

I completely agree. I have to make do with listening to the audio only on the pasek and paul website.

* I don't need to know- let that go. * those words are SO powerful... goodness. L

Every word's so Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain When the slowness of the day is gone Leaving shadow-like feelings to depend upon Every word's so Every word's so fragile Inside passion that feels like chasing rain You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath - gently And the tease cries weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower When the danger in the touch is gone Changing delicate evenings to reflecting ones And the tease cries weeping listless laughter Always thirsty like an attractive flower You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath - gently You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath You sleep like breathing You sleep like breath You sleep like breathing

Does anyone know of a place where I can get an audio version of this song.

i hope pasek and paul will sell the sheet music for this song on their website cuz i love singing their songs

@simsVids15 It is a simmilar style. There are only four characters in edges and they all have intertwining stories that eventually link back to their original introduction in the beginning. but I see it as Pasek and Paul wrote some kick ass songs about just about every situation a person can deal with and just decided to write it into a giant song cycle. unlike in SFANW they arent anyone in particular though, they are just everyday people that you might see walking down the street.

3:50 on i have chills

Please please publish this

@TheDJFrizz Awhh, I hope you get the solo! Good luck!

omgggg

Ugh, why can't this version be in the version available for licensing??????

Where. Is. The. Cast. Album. Please.

@ShowchoirGirl8989 Yes! Fascinating Rhythm '10-11' :D Hi Nikki! (:

when is this comin out on CD???

@MMKLproductions there really isn't a plot. It's a song cycle. No characters, just a series of songs.

this music and the set and everything kind of reminds me of next to normal i don't know why it just kind of has that feel. I don't kow i just really like this show and next to normal lol

@shihtzulover24: I am going to say google :-) Just put in "like breathing lyrics edges" and it's the fourth or so hit down on Wiki answers. Such an amazing song!

@uberdork987 thanks that's what it sounds like to me too.

oh and can anyone tell me what notes they're on in the final chord. I can hear the bass/soprano but can't pick the alto/tenor.

Studio recording when? Please?

Perhaps they changed it; this was the first professional production of the show. This would be an awesome finale if it was the finale, don't know why they would change it.

where can I get the sheet music to this song? It's the only one I can't find

@TheDJFrizz Where's that? Like what State and school?

@TheDJFrizz Really? What show choir are you in?

is this at capital rep?

I've been looking everywhere for the lyrics of this song! Can someone please tell me where to find them? And don't say Google, haha ;)

@SimsVids15 He eventually gets to the note at 4:26 but initially it's extremely flat. Again, like I said - it was great and then out of nowhere comes this backwards approach. Oh well.

colin hanlon reminds me of raul esparza...

@TheDJFrizz Oh, sweet. I'm in an all girls group. Ohio, Hamilton High.

Not true. There's an Edges recording.

OMG SO FUCKING GOOD HOLY SHIT

The gye looks like my cousin...

Lela really it's so eassy

Does anyone else hate the key change thingy? Its not the singers fault, I just haven't liked it anywhere I've seen it. Am I the only one?

The guy in the grey - WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR VOWEL? He is soooooooo flat on the second to last chord! So bad. It hurt worse because the rest of the song was GREAT! The vowel went straight to his throat. Give a listen, it's awful.
