This can be anything from changing jobs, going on a trip, taking a chance on someone you like, anything that might be slightly outside your comfort zone. If you only wonder and think about the could-have-been, you become comfortable with that way of thinking and eventually, you stop thinking about taking a chance on something that could change your life, letting the opportunity pass you by. But he's saying life is short and you should act on your sense of wonder.

I did get better and then had to recover from everything, chemo, radiation, surgery, and so on.. This album helped me so much. It had songs that felt like a lot of things I wanted to say. I listened to it over and over again. Now every time I go back to this particular album, I feel myself getting better again. I am so excited Ben Platt is coming to Chicago so I can see it live.

“Get to fall in love with another man” I got so happy i love this man with my whole heart

To everyone scared of growing up: I'm 18 now but last year when I was 17 I moved states for uni. I started to live alone and have my own life. It's hard, incredibly hard, but it has moments where you stop and realize that now you're fully on control. It's scary. If you don't go to the supermarket you won't have food, if you don't go to class no one will be mad but guess who will have to deal with the consequences? A quote I love: "it's ok to change (grow in this case) as long as you remember all the people you used to be" - Doctor who You got this. You'll make many mistakes but you'll learn from them, like all of us do. Take this as an opportunity to blossom into the person you always wanted to be. It's exciting

Yes ben

I’ve loved this ever since it came out as I’ve been a fan of Ben’s for years. And I’d just like to say thank you to this song for truly helping me so much. My health started going downhill when I was 10, and now 6 years later I’m severely ill and disabled. I’ve lost all of my teenage years and I’m likely to not be here much longer. When I was 14 I was very depressed about my situation and was waiting for it to improve because I thought that was the only way for me to be happy. Then I heard this song and realised that that outlook would only bring along more pain and hurt, since I’m incurable. So I decided to make the most of the present and enjoy what little I have left. And whilst being bedbound and living in hospital, I taught myself all my GCSE’s without the help of teachers and achieved A*’s, I set up my own online charity to help others, I’ve read hundreds of books, and I’m also now fluent in 4 languages. So now I know if I do end up losing the fight that my short life hasn’t been a waste and I won’t be able to regret anything. Ive defied everyone’s expectations of what is possible for me to do and I intend to carry on :)

So underrated. His music is touchful, with many aspects at the same time, sad but calm and still bring motivation. And his voice is so emotional

The little black boys doing ballet? Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I mean, everything else is perfect too but I didnt see anyone mention it lol

Lyrics: I was walking down 57th street towards Park With the same old song in my same old heart Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head Tried to lean into every word he said Then he said When you are younger You'll wish you're older Then when you're older You'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older When you get older Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime? Have I bit my tongue one too many times Have I said it all the way I really meant to? If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes Is the waiting all I've ever done? And will I get to Get to know myself in the place I am Get to fall in love with another man and understand When you are younger You'll wish you're older Then when you're older You'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older When you get older Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh When you are younger You'll wish you're older Then when you get older You'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older When you get older Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Also, if you’re reading this and you’re watching this video because you’re hurting: you’ll be okay. life really, really sucks sometimes. music helps us find hope in relating. give things time, give yourself a break, and try to get out of the rut. “I always get to where I’m going by walking away from where I have been” You can do this.

eurouc his scene of calling the guy is during the part of "get to fall in love with another man". this video depicts overcoming things in your life (mainly fear and connections with people). also, they're both very nicely dressed, one of them fixes his hair a lot, and they make loving eye contact. they look at each other instead of just walking right up to each other and saying "how you doing?". there's a deeper love in their body language. also, it looks like one of the guys reached out to him so they could finally be together, in a hand written letter with a photo of them when they were young. that's really romantic. that's why they're most definitely gay and not just friends. they grew up and fell in love during a time when that was a huge no no (likely the 50s or 60s). knowing ben is also gay, it's very likely he incorporated the element of an old gay couple rather than two old friends

Ben Platt... matchmaker.

THIS VOCAL is one of his best yet....can't hear it enough.

I'm literally 13 and I don't know where my life will lead me. I started writing stories that nobody will read to me. I keep waking up with tears in my eyes because I end up staying awake late every night crying for no reason. And I know I will look back at myself and think about how much time I wasted all because I wasn't happy enough, but's just so hard to be happy when there isn't a reason.

OH MY GOD MY DAY JUST GOT SO MUCH BETTER

Everything about this is so good it’s practically criminal. He’s like a master in the game. And he’s only getting started. Dude, not fair!

Director: do you want people to sob while listening to this or to you want them to be happy? Ben: yes

When I was young I never wished I was older than at that moment…. I think I intuitively knew that childhood was short and adulthood would be long and hard. So I never wished to be older. I have discovered I was right. I JUST NOW discovered BenPlatt, and I’m 73. Still young at heart.

Who thinks that this album is GOLD? 🙌🏼

I don't cry very often but it's like this broke something inside of my and I just. Sobbed. It felt good.

My favorite part of the video is the ending. The look on their faces, so sweet, so touching.

I honestly cry a million tears whenever he says fall in love with another man we Stan we mother freaking Stan ahhhhhhhhhhh

*gets notification* oooooo wonder wha- *Older by Ben Platt Music Video* oh nO- *instantly starts sobbing*

BEN PLATT I LOVE YOU MAN I DROP EVERYTHING FOR YOU

I swear all of his music has such good messages hes so underrated

He was ignored in college but fortunately a roommate of his gave him a chance. Now, he is sharing a masterpiece in the world.

guys. GUYS. I lost my inhaler. Can't breathe. Oh god. Too amazing

Wait, what? Who? When? How? Holy heck, this is a nice surprise! I’m so excited to watch!

I went to my ex’s Summer Concert at their school this year, and one of older students sung this and it’s taken me 4 months to find what the song was. It was beautiful, just like my ex’s singing. I hope she does insanely well, and that whatever happened will fix itself, she is insanely talented.

3:12 his tongue! I love when he does that. It makes me so happy and I can't help but smile every time I spot it.

"Will I get to know myself in the place I am?" I really needed that, Ben. The last year had me really struggling. Like, it was bad. I thought I was never going to be okay with where I was in life, but, I'm starting to think I can.

I just love how this is him letting go. We can see the progression on the videos, falling in love, living life with him, stating to fall apart, being two strangers. This is him wanting to start over. He is older, yes, but so much more himself than before. Or at least is my impression. Love ya Ben, your songs make my day.

You are fantastic in EVERY way. Do NOT change a thing.

Dear Reader, Most probably, I dont know you and you don't know me either. Probably, we're not living in the same country. Probably, we're not speaking the same language. Probably, you're older than me or I'm older than you or maybe we both belong on the same generation. But here's something that connects us, we both have a great taste of music. Thanks for being here. I love you and keep safe always. God bless ❤️

As a trans man, I just got out of a relationship with a man I was deeply in love with. He fell out of love with me and told me straight up because he didn’t want to lead me on. He didn’t want to try over or start again. After being childish and letting that sadness tarnish how I saw him, I’m sure he doesn’t want anything to do with me. I have dreams at night that he wants things to be okay, that we continue our lives and be content. But it’s never gonna happen, so now I deleted all my connections with him, and am starting to fix myself and put myself to go and love someone again. I love your music. I listened to the love songs of this song series when we were together, and now that we’re apart I listen to this,,,, and I’m just, so glad someone gets it. And it helps me remember to think of the future, not the past. I hope you see this Ben, not to say thanks like everyone else, not to ask if you’re okay, but just to let you know I’m thankful you set this message out. In this format. This is why people should make music. When you are out of that motivation, I hope you remember shit like this helps guys who have no sad songs to turn to that isn’t just about “being sad”. It helps people process and feel. I hope you have a great day. Also yes it’s 12:00 am, yes I am eating popcorn I got from my mall job. No I’m not crying ur crying what
