😂 Imagine being the person who left Elton John before he was famous and then hearing this song and knowing it’s about you. The petty revenge is delicious and everything about this song is amazing. Taron’s voice makes it even better. Great soundtrack!
I always tear up when I hear this song. The scene of him singing and his father breaking the jail and running to him, plus with this song, is just so touching. I was literally wiping tears in theater.
Renee Wang You and me both, girl! Ever since I had my son, kid's movies in particular evoke a very visceral reaction from me. I said it a comment above that I really like this studio for addressing subjects, like a father in jail, that Disney won't touch. It's because of moments like the one you're describing that I always find myself drawn to the non-Disney/Pixar animated movies and ultimately loving them.
Anyone else got goosebumps mid song when they saw Ash putting on lipstick getting ready to go out and perform? I can only remember a handful of times I was this excited in a movie... outstanding performances by all and that's an understatement
that moment when the lyrics said "and I'm still standing better than I ever did" and shows Ash using eyeshadows, fixing her hair(?) and shoes indicates that she gained her confidence and learned that she doesn't need her boyfriend to SING or live
Lyrics You could never know what it's like Your blood like a winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win? Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
spiritgirl41192 Ever since I got pregnant and had my son I weep like a baby at parent/child stuff like this. I love that Illumination/Dreamworks tackles subjects that Disney/Pixar won't touch (like a father in jail). They always include such adult subtext in their movies that don't detract from the movie's wholesomeness.

The haters are either tone deaf, have no talent themselves, or are just so freaking jealous of what this young man can do. Even Elton loves his version. get a life you monsters.
