So, I'm 16 and saw this movie in theaters by myself since no one else wanted to go with me, and I sat down next to this dude, and he was decked out in tripp jeans, piercings, tattoos, ya know, the works, and looked like a total badass...but when this scene came on, I started to cry, and I felt a hand on my shoulder, looked up, and the guy looked at me sympathetically, with tears in his eyes, and said ''it's okay, don't cry!!!" Some faith in humanity restored.
It's a very uplifting song. I sang it for my fiance when he was frustrated and we were starting to fight. He was calm by the end of the first verse, and was smiling by the time I was done. He's been going through tough times, and I'm so happy I can do something to ease his frustration a little, even if it's just singing to make him feel a little better. ^_^ Don't forget to let love back in, baby, we'll make it, no matter the obstacles. It's us against the world, forever and always.
*For anyone who wants to sing along* *Just when you think Hope is lost, And giving up Is all you got, And blue turns black, Your confidence is cracked, There seems no turning back from here. Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations. That's when you can build a bridge of light, That's what turns the wrong so right That's when you can't give up the fight That's when love turns night time into day, That's when loneliness goes away, That's why you gotta be strong tonight, Only love can build us a bridge of light. When your feet are made of stone And you're convinced that you're all alone Look at the stars instead of the dark You'll find your heart shines like the sun Let's not let our anger get us lost And the need to right comes with way too high a cost That's when love can build a bridge of light That's what turns the wrong so right That's when you know it's worth the fight That's when love turns night time into day, That's when loneliness goes away, That's why you gotta be strong tonight 'Cause only love can build us a bridge of light. Deep breath, take it on the chin But don't forget to let the love back in That's when love can build a bridge of light That's what turns the wrong so right That's when you can't give up the fight And that's when love turns night time into day, That's when loneliness goes away That's why you gotta be strong tonight 'Cause only love can build us a bridge of light. Only love can build us a bridge of light.*
Just saw this movie today and during this scene I immediately thought "I have to go home and get this song." It actually strongly reminds me of the reason I went to the movies tonight in the first place: to get away from a bunch of fighting and arguments I've been smack in the middle of lately. I shared the lyrics with the people involved and I'm hoping we can build our own Bridge of Light. :)
The soundtrack version feels the tiniest bit blander than the movie version, the children's chorus really brought it together, but it's still a beautiful song.
Thought I was the only one...I was listening to the soundtrack last night and almost every song, I was just like “it’s not as fun as it was on the movie”
I've seen this movie twice already, one on opening day and the other was yesterday. They have the best songs ever on this movie. Right when I saw it I feel in love with it. -3 This song made my heart melt at the movies, 'cus I know what it's like. Amazing movie. c:
I had only heard this on the movie twice and I was out and about. I started humming it, then was like, "What? What am I singing?" It drove me crazy for an hour. I just kept humming the tune and I finally got it! Hooray me! Now I can sing it better and remember it.
i love pink singing songs like this and not her other music i like the slower moods and this song is one of the best, people just haven't reached the emotional state yet
With all this bad happening in this world, from trump to the bombings. It needs to stop, the religions didn't ask for this. It didn't ask for some person to take over the world, it wants to have us live in peace and a helping hand. Religion didn't make us bad, greed and money did and if we make a stand against this it will get better. Love and nourishment can heal any wound that this poison gives us. #droplovenotbombs
I can't find this song as a single on Itunes... makes me sad because I love this song I just don't wish to buy the entire album even though I like the other songs too
I wish they could mix this version and the movie version together, the kids singing in the movie is so beautiful but the length here is more satisfying
this song made me think of a friend of mine he just found out that his mother is dying and he's father doesn't give a crap of him anymore and he used to be the most important person to his father, so we spend all our money to go to where he lives ( we live in gothenburg he lives in strömstad with his mother for the moment ) and prove that hes not alone ( his mother is like a second mother to me i love her with all heart )
I don't like pop, R&B, rap or anything of that nature but I've come to like the Happy Feet Two soundtrack, I listen to the songs everyday, most of them are pretty powerful and moving in my opinion, I had no idea Pink had this kind of voice in her. I respect her but now I do even more. I think Happy Feet Two was a beautiful movie, probably one of the best sequels. I don't care what the critics say about this film.
