Waving Through A Window

Original Broadway Cast of Dear Evan Hansen

  I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key

So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

What is ballad music?

As I am fairly certain everyone knows what musical is like - we will get more into the ballad side of things. Usually these are also musical songs (but not always) and can simply be described as a song 'which tells a story through its music and lyrics'. Like they do in musicals. Not a story in a way that it is a love song (obviously, it can be) - but that it also follows the structure of actual story writing.

Related to the Leagues

This song does not specifically have an alien aspect to it or has an element at its center. However, it might still fit the elemental league. How come? This is a song that would ground you - one that is about who we are and the difficulties we might have. However, it's uniqueness and the way things are song - about feeling diferent, might fit Hybrid or Cosmic more. This is a hard one to fit a power to, really!
