Dear Evan Hansen Cast - To Break In A Glove Lyrics
[EVAN:]
This glove's really cool, wow.
[LARRY:]
Oh, why don't you take it?
[EVAN:]
Oh. No, no, I couldn't.
[LARRY:]
Why not?
[EVAN:]
Are you sure?
[LARRY:]
For some birthday or some Christmas that has come and gone
I thought we might play catch or... I don't know
But he left it in the bag, with the tag still on
You'll have to break it in though, first. You can't catch anything with it that stiff.
[EVAN:]
How do you break it in?
[LARRY:]
Well, it's all a process that is really quite precise
A sort of secret method known to very few
So, if you're in the market for professional advice
Well today could be a lucky day for you
Shaving cream.
[EVAN:]
Shaving cream?
[LARRY:]
Oh yeah. You rub that in for about five minutes, tie it all up with rubber bands, put it under your mattress, and sleep on it.
And you do that for at least a week, every day, consistent.
And though this method isn't easy
Every second that you spend is gonna pay off
It'll pay off in the end
It just takes a little patience
It takes a little time
A little perseverance
And a little uphill climb
You might not think it's worth it
You might begin to doubt
But you can't take any shortcuts
You gotta stick it out
And it's the hard way
But it's the right way
The right way... to break in a glove
With something like this, you gotta be ready to put in the work, make the commitment. So what do you think?
[EVAN:]
I mean, definitely.
[LARRY:]
Some people say just use a microwave
Or try that "run it through hot water" technique
Well, they can gloat about the time they saved
'Til they gotta buy another glove next week
[LARRY:]
It just takes a little patience
[EVAN:]
It takes a little patience
[LARRY:]
Takes a little time
A little perseverance
[EVAN:]
Takes a little time
Perseverance
And a little uphill climb
[LARRY:]
And a little uphill climb
And it's the hard way
But it's the right way
The right way...
[EVAN:]
The right way...
[LARRY:]
'Cause there's a right way in everything you do
Keep that grit
Follow through
[EVAN:]
Keep that grit
Follow through
[LARRY:]
Even when everyone around you thinks you're crazy
Even when everyone around you lets things go
And whether you're prepping for some test
Or you're miles from some goal
Or you're just trying to do what's best
For a kid who's lost control
You do the hard thing
'Cause that's the right thing
Yeah, that's the right thing
[EVAN:]
Connor was really lucky to have a dad that... uh, a dad who cared so much about... taking care of stuff.
[LARRY:]
Shaving cream, rubber bands, mattress, repeat.
Got it?
[EVAN:]
Got it.
[LARRY:]
It's the hard way
[EVAN:]
But it's the right way
[LARRY & EVAN:]
The right way
To break in a glove
[LARRY:]
You're good to go.

Dear Evan Hansen Cast To Break In A Glove Comments
I just realised - and I could be wrong, so correct me if I am - *Connor is kinda being represented by a glove in this song.*
Can you actually break in a glove that way?
I’m gay for larry
Michael Park is just killing the game being casted as dads in musicals (he was the tucks dad in Tuck Everlasting)
Theater kids might not know much about sports.
But they can sure as hell tell you how to break in a glove.
*This glove's really cool, wow*
This song feels about 20 seconds too long... I dunno, maybe it's just me. Tho people find it boring, I do rather enjoy it for what that's worth to internet strangers.
3:22 now THATS how to end a conversation
lines in this song that need to be more appreciated:
"orrrr... i dunno."
"mm, so:"
"ohhh yeah!"
"i-i mean, definitely!!"
"haha.. WOW!" that lil laugh
when they sing together!!
"keep that grit (keep that grit!) follow THRUUUU"
"or you're just trying to do what's best for a kid who's lost control..." (sad)
"you do the hard thing, cos that's the right thing... yeah that's the right thing..." (double sad)
"connor was really luck to have a dad that... uh... a-a dad who cared so much!" (triple sad)
"got it?" "got it!"
"you're good to go."
The "comments" community is my favourite because everyone could say whatever they want but they usually choose to be nice....I'll let you in on a little secret: YouTube comments have saved me from suicide 3 times. If you have the chance to be nice....do it....please!
It's the hard way but the right way
Everyone missing the metaphor here. It's so sad
like this song has got much more meaning that people think. It's about working hard and not giving up and it's also about how there is a riht way to do things and that evan can still do the right thing. And imagine Larry singing for a kid whose lost control cause that's what happened to connor
I thought this would be a metaphor, but no. It’s an actual glove.
The hard way is almost never the best way. The easy way that will come out with the same outcome is.
La peor cancion
Eso porque no sabes lo que dice la canción en español, en realidad lo que el padre le quiere decir a Evan es que está muy arrepentido de dejar ir a Connor y dejar de preocuparse de él gracias a que Zoe y su madre lo dejaron ir antes. Todo eso lo dice con una metáfora de aflojar el guante, sería que está aflojando el corazón de Connor
I love this song so much because it reminds me so much of my dad
Connor acts the way I act around other people’s dads
Since mines gone now
My favorite song is this one, very happy and sweet bonding experience
3:31
That fantastic moment where Larry Murphy hits Angus Tuck's key exactly and all the Tuckies think he's gonna break into "the wheel"
Or was that just me?
I THOUGHT CONNER WAS FAKE SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
“It’s the hard way but it’s the right way” if you notice after this song is when Evan starts admitting he was lying by first telling Larry that he lied about his dad being proud of him and that his dad left years ago
me: *goes to store and buys a baseball glove, shaving cream, and rubber bands*
mom: what are you-
me: I NEED IT FOR A THING OK
Best ship:
Larry x glove
*change my mind*
This is the freeze your brain of dear evan hansen
i think its more of the dead gay son of deh
Am I the only one that absolutely loves this song?
*cries because I’ll never be able to sing this song during an actual performance of this musical because my school only lets boys play boy parts 😓*
Love this!
Rest of the musical: Will make you cry
This: *ThiS gLOvE’s ReaLly CoOl, WoW*
Does this actually work?
This is how a musical is formed.
Evan: This glove's really cool wow.
Larry: *starts singing*
I recently started listening to the Be More Chill soundtrack and this has some big Pants Song energy
Evan: How do you break it in?
Me; You don't know what you're getting yourself into...
My reaction to listening to 0:01 of the song is 1:56 XDXDXDXD LoL 😂
Welcome to silly songs with Larry
The first time I listened to the video I thought they we’re trying to break in the glove like it was a bank or somthing
lol 😂
it makes me sad because it sounds like connor's dad didnt want to be harsh on conner, but since he's the dad he has to do the "right" thing even if its the hard thing. he probably wanted to be a nice dad and have fun with his son and play catch, but the situation didnt let him
I wonder if this method actually works?
You can hear Connor’s dad when he starts breaking when he says “Or your trying to do what’s best for a kid who’s lost control”. It’s just so sad to think that he did try so hard for Connor.
Thank you Tom holloway
For some weird reason this song gives me Menards vibes.
"It's the hard way, but it's the right way." Is this a metaphor or something?
yall, this song is about putting in the effort to improve your mental state
I OWN THIS ALBUM AND WAS LISTENING TO IT ON ITUNES BUT I HAD TO COME HERE BECAUSE I DONT HAVE FRIENDS WHO LIKE BROADWAY AND THIS SONG IS SO EMOTIONALLY AAAAAAAA OK THANK YOU UGHHHHHHHH THIS MUSICAL I CANT THANKS FOR READING MY SCREAMING
why does this song calm me down when I'm having a panic attack? I'm so confused 😂
I was literally reading this scene in the book when this came on
Okay but does this method actually work-
THIS GLOVE IS PRETTY COOL EHHHH????
i like how everyone's talking about how sad this song is but nobody's talking about the comparison with the baseball glove from The Catcher In The Rye, which is why this musical is superficial and i dislike its message
Any true babies?
What the heck does breaking in a glove even mean?
Goldenheart388 New baseball gloves are super tough and uncomfortable to wear and pretty much unusable, so you need to break it in so it’s a bit more pliable
*Its the hard way, but it's the right way.* You hear that Evan? You don't need to pretend to get accepted and get the family you want, being you is more than enough already.
Larry Murphy is literally my dad
Wait does this actually work? I’ve always just used leather cleaner and bound up my glove with a weight plate over it.
“Some people might say just use a microwave,
Or try that run-it-through-hot-water technique”
His maniacal laughter throughout these two sentences makes me giggle every time istg
This is my first time even realizing the line 'for a kid who's lost control
*The better Pants Song*
Kid who's lost control...HE LOVES HIS BABY!
The real question is: Does this actually work?
I just tried it over the last week. You’re damn right it does. 😅
FindingEmo Hell yeah
Also hello fellow fander
Depression Pills Hello!
Shaving Cream
Rubber bands
Mattress
Repeat
My new life motto
Sobbing while listening to you will be found. The next song is mostly really happy. Ironic.
hot take @ all you Larry haters: Larry treated Connor the same way Cynthia treats Zoe. You just blame him more because Connor's the "uwu smol bean"
I love how Michael Park can subtly and flawlessly slip between speaking and singing
This is my favorite because it’s so meaningful 🙃
Nobody:
Evan: This glove's really cool wow
lol 😂
Larry: Sort of secret method known to very few,
*Notice the 1.9 million veiws....*
My eyes are moist
“This gloves really cool, wow!”
I love that this song starts with that line. Evan just sounds so indifferent, it’s really funny. I understand the context from the actually musical, but it’s funny that that’s the first thing you hear in the recording 😂
XDXDXDXD IKR it’s sooo hilarious 🤣
Am I the only one who links this song with the struggle of being mentally ill and trying to recover?
I'm not sure why, but I really hate this song. Don't get me wrong; I love the concept, the singing, the acting, etc but idk I always skip it. I'm trying to listen to it so I like it because it's a really emotional song
Ok DEH is great but has anyone tried this with a glove I need to know if it works or not
damn this song is deep af when u think about
I’ve never had any purpose for shaving cream
CONOR IS BEING REPLACED
This is literally deh version of the pants song from bmc. But both songs have a WAY deeper meaning
This is the Pants Song of Dear Evan Hansen
Me: ok class what do we now know about Larry Murphy
Kid: that he will literally throw down anyone who claims to break in a glove better then he can
hello *harmony*
Now I know how to break in a glove ... THANKS LARRY!!!!
If ur wondering wut this is about and why he is talking about a glove is he is referring to Connor, he had to break in Connor BUT IT DIDNT WORK LARRY LOOK WUT U DID
The dad's song is always my least favorite from musicals only exception is "dead gay son" from Heathers lol
Ah yes, the secret method known to over 8000 people
Next time I see a baseball glove I will ask them if they know the best way to break in a glove, and proceed to tell them exactly how it’s done 😂
Sorry to ruin the moment,
1:29 that’s what she said
._.👍
Me and my friend are dear Evan Hansen freaks right
Well here is a story
We were starting our baseball unit and we were playing catch. Throughout the whole period we were yelling across the field did you break in a glove yet? Then we asked our other friend if he broke in a glove and he started singing the song then me and my other friend joined in so walking back to the locker room all you hear and see is me and my friends singing to break in a glove. Yes we had many people giving us dirty looks did we care..No we just kept singing
This whole song is a metaphor, I love it😂😂😊
For as long as ive known this musical for some reason ive NEVER heard this song??? I remeber reading this part in the book now and they actually managed to make it into a song?
I’m listening to this soundtrack while I’m reading the book, and it’s just...spectacular.
*I'm so happy that I learned english and I can understand musicals now*
I hate this song so much. Just a dad trying to justify his shitty parenting skills and feeling sorry for himself. Too little, too late.
*_this gloves really cool, wow_*
I dont know why this song always motivates me...
This song isn't just about the glove. Just pretend they're not talking about a glove, but working on yourself. Or a test, or a kid who's lost control. This song has a much deeper meaning than people seem to realize
My brother: **Gets a glove for his birthday**
My brother: What do I do with this?
Me: Here, listen to this. Boy do you have a lot to learn.
XDXDXDXD he does
this glove's really cool wow
Most underrated song in the show.
Play the whole DEH soundtrack over the muted wizard of oz movie starting at the first scene.
Rimming, shagging fly ballsssss
I can't believe they found a metaphor for this musical about a glove!
"I bought this glove a thousand years ago..."
Guess he wasn't lying...
*Cough cough*
Tuck Everlasting
*Cough cough*
Angus Tuck
I think of this when I am failing at something to remind myself that me failing is better than not doing it
i BoUgHt ThIs GlOvE
*a ThOuSaNd YeArS aGo*
This is such a good song, why is it hated so much?
