Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his TonyÂŽ Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.

Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.

Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

You know what, I was listening to this album, and I was waiting for that one song I would just go back to as my comfort song. In the last one, it was Ease my Mind, and now it's this one. I really needed this song today, and now I have it for forever (lol)

The album is genius, but "Dark Times" should be a single. It reaches directly to the heart and massages it back to life. Brilliant stuff, Ben!

Lyrics: [Verse 1] 13 is hard enough So busy growing up Now you’re sitting on a secret no one knows You see him after school He barely looks at you ‘Cause you’re both afraid that people might suppose [Pre-Chorus] I’ll see you in the mirror when you’re older For now just keep your head up on your shoulders [Chorus] Life goes too fast Heart breaks in two Tough times don’t last Tough people do So wipe those tears from your crying eyes ‘Cause you only see the light shine in dark times [Verse 2] 18, you fall in love You think you found the one And he calls you up to say there’s someonе else Feels like thе world’s in flames You give yourself the blame ‘Cause the landing wasn’t worth how hard you fell [Pre-Chorus] I’ll see you in the mirror when you’re older For now just keep your head up on your shoulders [Chorus] Life goes too fast Heart breaks in two Tough times don’t last Tough people do So wipe those tears from your crying eyes ‘Cause you only see the light shine in dark times [Post-Chorus] Oh, in dark times Oh, in dark times [Verse 3] We’re 27 now Don’t have it figured out But at least no one can say we haven’t grown Scars turn to memories They keep us company But it’s nice to know we’re not in this alone [Chorus] Life goes too fast Heart breaks in two Tough times don’t last Tough people do So wipe those tears from your crying eyes ‘Cause you only see the light shine in dark times You only see the light shine in dark times

This song hit me hard. I’m 20 living in the closet and still working my way through life, and this song moved me and brought me to tears. It really made me feel seen and reminded me that these dark times dont last forever, and that I’ll find my way through life and to keep moving forward. Thank you Ben for this incredible album, your songs heal in the best ways. 💗

The ad that played before the song was for Dear Evan Hansen and as excited as I was for the new song, I couldn't just Skip the reason I learned about Ben!

It hits me so hard as someone who’s not out yet, I’m 27 now and when he started singing “We're 27 now, don’t have it figured out…” I just started bawling.

This is my favourite song on the new ablum and is so relatable for any LGBTQ+ person as it's a reminder of when we had to figure are selfs out and then accept and be accepted by the people around us xxxx 🏳️‍🌈 Thank you Ben ( even though you won't see this) x
