All y'all are pointing out the fact that Elsa is at least somewhat suicidal in this song, but what REALLY gets me is the reason she stays alive. It's not because she thinks she deserves to live. It's because she thinks her death will be even more monstrous and hurt people even more. And perhaps bigger -- that's temporary. Deeply temporary. Right now, she has to stop the storm -- she's the only one who can. But afterwards, it's still the case that "everyone [is] in danger as long as [she's] alive." Sometimes a phrase like "There's only one thing that's left for me to do" means there's only one choice in the moment. But here -- she means it more than that. There's only one thing left to do. Ever. And then she'll "fade to white". This song isn't overcoming suicidality. It's just postponing it. From a mental health standpoint, finding a reason outside yourself to stay alive still accomplishes the goal. And putting off suicide is pretty close to preventing it, as suicidality often peaks and ebbs. But she's still in danger. She's not out of the woods. She's survived tonight. But she's still dying inside. She's still not okay.
Yes. Someone understands it. The song is not about overcoming her suicidal thoughts. It's about postponing it, or just not thinking about it in that moment since she only has one choice after her reflection. She first "asks" her father if dying would end this. But then reflects in the "dialogue" with her mother that the curse would probably not end with her death which will effectively make it worse for everyone. So she decided against it. I think the scene was meant to give such thought (in the 2nd act) since Elsa will never be okay till she knows that there is a place for her in the world, that mindshift should Elsa's in the final act I believe, with Anna's help. I haven't seen the play but I guess it should be that way.
For me the most heartbreaking thing about this song (besides the suicide part of course) is that she still addresses her parents as the people who "know what's best for her" even though they kind of screwed her up (unintentionally, but still). That really hurt me in my heart... she wants her family
No. The TROLLS screwed her up, perhaps deliberately (to bring down the House of Arendelle) by showing Elsa a vision of death that terrified her and her father the King, causing him to isolate and fear her power, instead of helping her learn to grow with and control it.
@@DefendGlenn I know it's a popular theory that the trolls did al the damage, but tbh I can't agree. Pabbie says that her powers are beautiful but dangerous and that she needs to learn to control them. It's not Pabbie's fault that her parents decided to hide her from the world instead of searching for anyone who could help.
I love Hans part because if you don’t know the story he seems protective of her, but when you know the story you realize how dark it is that he wants her alive.
I dont think he ever wanted to kill her in the musical. There is a theory saying the trolls put a spell on him. Hes always saying no harm will come to her and not even 2 minutes after sentencing her to die he promises no harm. It adds so much more depth and Im shaking
Imagine if this was in the film. It would have added so much character to Elsa and give her something else to sing that didn't include Let it Go or any part of the song that made it into the first time in forever and its reprise.
But let it go is fundamental to Elsa. She thought if she was far away, she could be herself until they told her that her being herself is going to kill everyone and that's why monster comes in. Both songs are fundamental to Elsa's character development
I'd love to see this song in the fil. It is amazing and it shows more about Elsa. I think we all thought that she had those feelings when Anna told her about Arendelle being froze to the core, but Disney never showed it... which is a shame.
I'm honestly so glad that they decided to show Elsa having suicidal thoughts. Think of all the people struggling with those same thoughts who will listen to the song. They will see that Elsa chose to keep fighting and keep living. She faced those same demons and beat them. Fiction is so important in dealing with real life. I sincerely hope that any suicidal person who listens to the song will see Elsa's example and be able to find hope and inspiration in it. To anyone struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, my thoughts and prayers are with you. There are better days to come, and you won't feel like this forever. No matter how much you want to, please don't give up. You are stronger than you know.
Catie K If she hadn’t been serious then there would be know point. Considering is serious no matter what. You can’t consider something like that and not be serious about it. She thought that her death could free everyone. This was pretty suicidal actually. It definitely counts as a suicidal thought
"I need to stay alive and fix this mess I've made." One song just gave so much depth to a character. God, she considered killing herself. Wow. If this one song can give so much, what else with seven more? I'm so excited.
As painful as it is to hear Elsa voicing her darkest thoughts, I am eternally grateful they gave us this look inside her psyche and that someone as amazing as Caissie Levy brought it to life.
As painful as it is to hear Elsa voicing her darkest thoughts,I am grateful they gave us this look inside he psyche and that someone as caisson levy brought it to life
Ok are we just going to ignore the fact that Elsa was contemplating suicide in this song?? “Do I kill the monster?” “If I die, will they be free?” She only decides not to because she’s afraid that if she does die, the storm will only get worse and then no one could stop it Like. Wow. I’m not going to pretend Disney never went dark before, but taking your own life is a new one!
It's not like she tought her life was horrible or something. She was just thinking about how dangerous she could be, and, as a queen, she knew her people was (or were, sorry I'm do not speak english very well) afraid of her. But then she realized that she could save them and be a hero instead of a monster that everyone fears. I think she was just awesome
What's massively interesting to me, beyond the bridge where she apostrophizes her parents, is that the last chorus has her say that she's resolving to stay alive, but only until the storm is gone. She thinks the storm will go down, but only if she goes down with it. I'm obsessed.
Malu Vieira Elesbão That was still a suicidal thought. And the thing is her life was sorta hard too. As soon as that incident happened with Ana they started to live a sheltered life. She stayed in all the time. Which is a habitat for depression. But yes mainly fear of hurting others
Broadway Elsa > movie Elsa Not comparing Idina and caissie I'm talking about the overall character. Elsa in the Broadway musical has so much more depth that I wish could have been shown in frozen the movie. Hopefully in frozen 2 we see a little more of it.
Christopher Lara sadly the movies are for kids. They wont showcase anything deep or anything relating to ‘if I die will they be free’ or being a ‘monster’
@@YoshiDeNOFFICAL Elsa has personality in the movie what are you saying? :/ Besides c'mon, this is a real person and the other one an animated cartoon. Nevertheless Elsa in frozen 2 have even more deep into her character, or at least that's what I see.
It's like they took Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy, mixed it with the emotions of Frankenstein's Creature, and turned the resulting epicness into a musical number. Holy shit, this is great.
I love how Caissie’s natural vibrato and her raw vocal ability are showcased in this number. It’s like it was written with her in mind while perfectly fitting into the Frozen plot.
Not sure if they intended this but the song has heavy undertones of real life situations. It makes me feel as if besides the ice storm she's caused that deep down, ignoring her ice powers, Elsa is a representation of someone who has depression and/or is suicidal. She mentions briefly that if she died then everyone would be better. In the end yes she denies those thoughts and faces her mistakes but throughout the song she makes herself feel as a mistake and an outcast with no meaning other than to hurt. Which is how many feel, and often leads to suicidal thoughts. I definitely go through this so hearing this song affects me way more than "Let It Go". Kudos to the people who made this song happen and the actress for Elsa! It made me sad truly but also happy in a way.
Lyrics Elsa:It’s finally come Come to knock down my door I can’t hide this time Like I hid before The storm is awake The danger is real My times running out Don’t feel don’t feel Fear will be your enemy And death it’s consequence That’s what they once said to me And it’s starting to make sense All this pain all this fear began because of me Is the thing they see The thing I have to be A Monster Were they right Has the dark in me finally come to light Am I A Monster Full of Rage Nowhere to go but on a rampage Or am I just a Monster in a cage Hunters: End this winter bring back summer Keep your guard up Hans: All harm comes to her Hunters: End this winter bring back summer Keep your guard up Elsa: What do I do No time for crying know I started a storm Got to stop it somehow Do I keep on running How far do I have to go And would that take the storm away Or only make it grow I’m making my world colder How long can it survive Is everyone in danger As long as I’m alive Was I a Monster from the start How did I end up with this frozen heart Bringing destruction to the stage Caught in a war that I never meant to wage Do I kill the Monster........ Father you know what’s best for me If I die will they be free Mother what if after I’m gone the cold gets colder And the storm rages on No I have to stay alive To fix what I’ve done Save the world from myself And bring back the Sun Hunter: (At the same time as Elsa) End this winter bring back summer Keep your guard up x2 Elsa: If I’m a Monster And it’s true There’s only one thing that’s left for me to do But before I fade to white I’ll do all that I can to make things right I can not be a Monster I will not be a Monster Not tonight Hans and Hunters Monster monster monster
This song is just the summary of why I love Elsa too much. She's strong, but also full of questions, unsure of what she really is, she is afraid of hitting the people she cares about. Under her ice harmor is hidden a very big heart, that just needs a warm hug
This is a really beautiful and tragic song. Despite its anthemic and upbeat nature, listen closely to the lyrics. Elsa basically concludes that while she will fix the damage she has caused, she is too dangerous to stay alive and must kill herself after she is successful. Incredible piece of theatre!
This song is INSANE. I really love how the undertones of Anxiety and Depression from the movie are brought center stage here. This is a beautiful song.
One thing I love about this song and singer (besides the chills), is how it can honestly relate to anyone and anything. It's not specifically saying Anna and the name of their kingdom. Anyone can be a monster, anyone can feel like they're creating a storm (a situation or problem), and contemplate on who they are, how they can fix this, and if they should just disappear. I love it so much. It especially makes me think of many mistakes I made and when I've called myself a monster. When I've created an awful storm and thought whether it'd be best to leave from it or face it head on and try to fix it. This is one of the best yet!
there is just something about seeing people sing in unison, for good or ill, that sends shivers up the spine. praise to the guys in the back, fantastic job.
For someone like me, who is suffering from mental health problems, this song has made me cry many times. I’ve found myself listening to that song over and over again and there have always been tears. But there’s also something empowering about it. Something that screams „Don’t give up!“. Whenever I tell someone that Queen Elsa is my rolemodel, I get laughed at, because apparently at 19 years old, I am too old to have a Disney rolemodel. Now that Frozen 2 is out there, I really want to scream in anyone’s face, who thinks Frozen is stupid or has no important message. Queen Elsa is so important for anyone struggling with a mental health issue (may it be Depression, Anxiety of any form, Suicidal thoughts, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, ADHD, HSP, Sociopathic tendencies, psychopathic tendencies, or any other thing) and I want to wish everyone, who is struggling „all the luck and love on earth“. Thanks to Idina Menzel and Caissie Levy for bringing that amazing character to life. And most importantly, thank you Disney, for creating a Disney Queen with Mental Health issues!❤️
I am 29 and people laughed at me when I said my favourite Disney Princess / Queen is Elsa. I always felt that she is very relatable. I just found out about this song and.. It made me cried because I felt it when she asked "If I die, will they be free". It's one of the questions that I ask myself constantly.. "If I die, will everyone be happier? If I die, will everything be better?"
@@ChristalSJ15 With Elsa, the answer is no. She brings incredible beauty and power and depth to the world. The same is true for you. Even on your dark days, we need you in this world. Stay just one more day. And then one more and one more.
@@ChristalSJ15 For someone who has been on the other end, the end where I had to recover from someone's suicide no, people won't be happier without you. People are shit at showing this but you've touched people's lives more than you care to imagine, and even if you don't see it, there are some people out there who love you so much and you might be their role model or the only reason they're even still alive! :) we all need you here! I am sure you are an incredible person who brings so much to this world without even realising it! :) Also let me tell you recovering from my friend's loss is one of the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my life, so I just pray that less and less peoplenwill have to go through this.
@@naneliavara wishing you the best. Stay strong. It’s been three years since I’ve written this comment (had honestly forgotten about it) and back then I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel and I would never be happy again. Cut to now, I am happier then ever and about to pursue my dream career, after being in a job that didn’t fulfill me for a couple years now. So, You are stronger then you think. Take care
I love the part "Father You know what’s best for me If I die, will they be free? Mother what if after I’m gone the cold get colder And the storm rages on? No! I have to stay alive To fix what I’ve done" because it says that ending one's life will not solve your problems in life and that you have to face the music. Be brave and live.
Samahir Cabugatan don’t forget though she goes on to sing “if I’m a monster and it’s true, there’s only one thing that’s left for me to do. But before I fade to white, I’ll do all that I can to make things right.” So basically she still thinks she needs to die but just after she fixes the storm she caused.
Allison Noon I love that they solidify Elsa's acknowledgement of herself as a threat in such a lyrical way. I kind of sensed it in the movie, but with no lyrics cementing it explicitly, it was just free interpretation and speculation. Now, dedicating a whole song where she sings about her need to die for the good of Arendelle... damn, Lopezes. Damn.
You would expect this number to be as epic as Let it go, especially at the climax, but in the actual production, 2:29 is the part that gets to you. I love the heartbeat sounds in the background, it really adds to the anxiety Elsa is feeling.
Here's the lyrics for anyone that's interested (Note these are what I found so if there are any mistakes just tell me and I'll edit this.) [ELSA] It's finally come, come to knock down my door I can't hide this time like I hid before The storm is awake, the danger is real My time's running out, don't feel, don't feel "Fear will be your enemy And death its consequence" That's what they once said to me And it's starting to make sense All this pain, all this fear began because of me Is the thing they see, the thing I have to be A monster, were they right? Has the dark in me finally come to light? Am I a monster full of rage Nowhere to go but on a rampage? Or am I just a monster in a cage? [HANS & MALE ENSEMBLE] End this winter, bring back summer Keep your guard up [HANS] No harm comes to her [HANS & MALE ENSEMBLE] End this winter, bring back summer Keep your guard up [ELSA] What do I do? No time for crying now I've started this storm, gotta stop it somehow Do I keep on running? How far do I have to go? And will that take the storm away Or only make it grow I'm making my world colder How long can it survive? Is everyone in danger as long as I'm alive? Was I a monster from the start? How did I end up with this frozen heart? Bringing destruction to the stage Caught in a war that I never meant to wage Do I kill the monster? Father, you know what's best for me If I die, will they be free? Mother, what if after I'm gone The cold gets colder and the storm rages on? No! I have to stay alive to fix what I've done Save the world from myself And bring back the sun If I'm a monster then it's true There's only one thing that's left for me to do But before I fade to white I'll do all that I can to make things right I cannot be a monster I will not be a monster Not tonight!
I think one of the saddest things is in the movie subtly when shes in the dungeon and you notice her chains, they were specifically built for her power and she hasnt been gone long enough for them to have made them so it's clear it was her parents who created the chains.
I love that the musical went even further into Elsa's perspective and thought process. It added so much to an already amazing story and this is such a great song.
"Was I a monster from the start? How did I end up with this frozen heart? Bringing destruction to the stage... Caught in a war I was never meant to wage." I love how she sings this part. Chills. It's also so fucking sad that her decision at the conclusion of this song is to fix what she's done, save everyone else, and then end herself. "If I'm a monster and it's true, *there's only one thing left to do, but before I fade to white* I'll do what I can to make things right"
Katherine Steele Sounds good Katherine. Do what you want I won't stop you. Also based on musicals I told you on your past videos I have seen, do you have any recommendations
yes i think frozen as a musical parallels a lot of Wicked. A beltress who has powers, and an ingenue. Except not sure if Anna is a mezzo or soprano in the musical. i haven't heard any of her new songs. oh also the fact elsa was originally voiced by Idina Menzel helps haha
@@robynwilson9227 but also, her dad seemed like the one to try to do what was best for the kingdom, while her mom seemed to worry more about her daughters and what was best for them. At least, that's the type of energy I always picked up on for each parent.
This is such a good touch to the show, I’m so glad they added this song. It’s really amazing that they showed Elsa feeling suicidal and so incredibly ashamed with herself because obviously she did feel that way! The movie didn’t show that as much so this is really cool
One thing I always think about this song, is that it's the song that everyone thinks Let it Go is. Now I don't dislike Let it Go exactly. It's a nice song - a bit generic but hey, this is a Disney princess movie. They've got a formula, and it works. But SO often I see Let it Go being used as an uplifting, motivating song about embracing who you are and what you can do - and it's great if people see it that way and can use it that way for themselves! But in context? Elsa wasn't letting ANYTHING go, she was RUNNING AWAY and hiding away - still controlled by her power, just in a different way. Let it Go wasn't actually a song about letting anything go. Monster, however... Monster is EXACTLY about that. She's confronting her grief (she brings up her parents), she's confronting what her ability actually does, what it MEANS and the very real danger it represents and has caused. Let it Go is Elsa running away and pretending she's being herself: Monster is hers taking responsibility for fixing what she did and controlling it - and that's when it stops controlling her and she starts controlling it.
I mean to be fair, the interpretation of Let it Go they meant is that Elsa was symbolically was accepting she needed to leave into Isolation (A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like Im the queen) . She knew her powers were really strong but at the time she had less control (The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside, couldnt keep it in heaven knows I tried), the dont let them in dont let them see lyrics refer to her being locked away in her room. Followed by the lyric (Now they know) meaning her secret of having magic is no longer a secret. At this point she accepts her magic as a part of her and she shouldnt conceal it anymore (Let it go, let it go can't hold back anymore). The line that goes "Turn away and slam the door, I dont care what their going to say" talks about her putting her back to the Arendale, she isnt caring about the kingdom even though she does at the same time. She doesn't care that she is a "Monster" as the next line goes " Let the storm rage on the cold never bothered me anyway" of course referring to her magic being ice based and her accepting her magic. The line where she says "It's funny how some distance, makes everything seem small" is referring to Arendale and her past as royalty. "And the fears that once controlled me, cant get to me at all" meaning she is less fearful and now embracing the powers. "It's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through. No right, no wrong, no rules for me Im freeeeee!" she's no longer locked up in her room, she can finally put practice to use. "Im one with the wind and sky", referring to the cold wind of course and beautiful night sky. "You'll never see me cry" again, because isolation. "Here I stand and here I stay, let the storm rage on", she doesnt want to go back, she wants to wield her powers away from everyone so she can't hurt anyone. "My power flurries through the air into the ground, my soul is spiraling in Frozen fractals all around" Back to her magic, which in this lyric symbolizes her soul, her spirit. Which is finally free and not locked up, much like how she had to hide her powers for years. "And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast", actually referring to her blasting Anna when she was trying to save her. "Im never going back, the past is in the past", further coming to concept of staying in the ice castle and letting go of her past. But as a great bamboon said in a movie about Lions but was functionally the Lion version of Hamlet, you can either run from it or can learn from it. Sadly Elsa chose to run. "And I'll rise like the break of dawn", she isn't depressed about her powers and she will rise to master them herself. "That perfect girl is gone", when she slowly starting to turn for the worst implying she isn't perfect anymore. "Here I stand, in the light of day" she's staying in the castle, "Let the storm rage onnnnn" with more power put behind her words. "The cold never bothered me anyway" coming to an end of full acceptance of her magic (even if deep down she subconciously still has fear in her heart). Long version short, the song Let it go was the transition between her being scared and her leaving everything behind and embracing her gift.
As good as a song as this is, I can see why this was something they couldn't really put in the film because this is literally a song about Elsa briefly contemplating suicide in a really sad and bitter way. Sort of inspirational at the end of her realizing that would not be the best way to solve the problem but damn that edge where you can really feel the pain and anguish in the singer's voice is incredibly dramatic in a way that would not pass in a mainstream animated song. At least not now but still glad this song exists in some song as it is really good.
PixarShark No, you’re right. This song was not in the film nor was it ever a contender. It was written entirely for the show, after the movie came out.
Oh sorry yeah I know this was made for the Broadway play. Should of clarified "as good a song as this is, I could not see this ever being put into the movie and was made for broadway where they have more of an edge"
Omg caissie is really really talented but could you imagine idina singing this. And its within her reachable range. The last not ewhich is the higest is only a high d# and thats not even as high as the last note in let it go.
Huge difference between "self-sacrifice" and "suicide". "If I die, will they be free" - Elsa is mentally preparing herself to risk her own life for the good of others, NOT to throw away her life, or escape responsibility. She is psyching herself up like a soldier ready to dive on a grenade. At the risk of hubris, the appropriate quite might be "Greater love hath no one but that they give up their life for another." (Plus it's a new twist for a Disney story, in which the hero always kills the monster - how does the story work if the hero and the monster are the same person?)
@@kayleelomas5598 Agreed, depression is a real mental imbalance that can lead to self-destructive behavior, and I did not mean to suggest otherwise. This would be more in the "throw away her life" category, because she thought that her life was not worth living. My only point was that Elsa is not seeking death; she is preparing to pay any price, up to her own life, to save others.
The male vocals are amazing but, you also can't deny the vocal range, emotion, ECT that she has, you can hear it as well as see it in her face, especial when she's listening to the males and then talking to her parents and that finish! Wow!
Katelyn wouldn'tyouliketoknow I agree she’s amazing. But I just meant that the male vocals add a lot of emotion the song wouldn’t have otherwise. It reminds the audience of the present threat. And the contrast of that addition to the song makes me feel more emotions than I’d have felt without it. I wasn’t in any way saying her singing wasn’t amazing, because that’s a given.
This just gave credibility to the existence of a Frozen Broadway show in my mind. Ugh everything about this is gold. The talent, the character arc - ugh. I'm gagging.
It’s finally come Come to knock down my door I can’t hide this time Like I hid before The storm is awake The danger is real My times running out Don’t feel don’t feel Fear will be our enemy and death it’s consequence That’s what they once said to me And it’s starting to make sense All this pain and all this fear began because of me is the thing they see The thing I have to be A monster Were they right? Has the dark in me finally come to light? Am I a monster, full of rage? Nowhere to go But on a rampage Or am I just a monster In a cage (End this winter Bring back summer Keep you guard up Hans: No harm comes to her! End this winter Bring back summer Keep you guard up) What do I do No time for crying now I’ve started a storm Gotta stop it somehow Do I keep on running How far do I have to go And would that take the storm away Or only make it grow? I’m making my world colder How long can it survive Is everyone in danger As long as I’m alive? Was I a monster From the start? How did I end up with this frozen heart? Bringing destruction To the stage Caught in a war that I never meant to wage Do I kill the monster? Father You know what’s best for me If I die, will they be free? Mother what if after I’m gone the cold get colder And the storm rages on? No! I have to stay alive To fix what I’ve done Save the world from myself And bring back the sun If I’m a monster Then it’s true! there’s only one thing that’s left for me to do But before I fade to ice I’ll do all that I can to make things right I cannot be a monster I will not be a monster Not tonight!
Omg how lucky. I'm still junior high school and my teacher really suck because he doesn't care about his students, he's so unfair, and he has no idea how to teach us that none of us get good grades.
This song may have some dark lyrics but it also shows Elsa's thought process about how she feels she needs to stay alive to bring back everything to normal, and that she will not be a monster before it happens. I think it shows the essence of Elsa's character; that she is a very kind hearted person. This is one of the reasons why I adore her.
I LOVE This!!! Well done Caissie!! This song is the epitome of Elsa’s feelings! So many struggle with fear and anxiety, and this song shows that we can defeat the monster within and win!
Just saw the musical last night and it was phenomenal. Definitely worth the money to see. Caissie Levy was amazing. During Let It Go I thought I was going to lose it. The entire show was beautifully done. Congrats to the cast and creative team.!
DCA's production boils down the movie into a bare minimum. The Broadway show, OTOH, fleshes out the story far more than the movie does. So you can't really compare the two. But yes, a bunch more songs also.
Dangerous to Dream Let It Go Monster Into The unknown Show Yourself these songs explain Elsa's character of how she's fearful about herself, her loved ones & her kingdom. What's to be protective. She comes to fearful to self-confidence that's powerful. Her true love was her family & her kingdom
She's WAY better live and the context of the musical makes it SUPER POWERFUL too. Seriously, this song/this moment is one of the highlights of the show.
McKay Jenkins I agree, I saw it Denver as well and was blown away by this number. It was just an amazing moment in the show and really shows the battle inside of her at that moment.
Denver's show was wonderful! I wonder if they changed anything for Broadway... This song is my favorite since I first heard it. I can't wait for the full album. The whole show was beautiful and brought more depth to the characters.
okay, I know everyone's comparing this to No Good Deed, but I need to join in. "I will *not* be a monster" her delivery of that line of the song reminds me a lot of the line "Let all of Oz be agreed... I'm *wicked* through and through" and although they're in different parts of the songs structure-wise, it's really awesome, because not only is the actual delivery similar, both of them are the lines that really stand out showing the character development in each song.
From what I'm going through (depression and anxiety), I easily relate to Elsa especially when I have trouble sharing my talent. I need someone like her in my life.
In the animated Frozen when Idina Menzel sings let it go I feel like it wasn’t that great with emotion but the way Casey Levy sings Monster it gives off so much emotion
I love how they finally include the emotional connection to the loss of the parents in this version; that really wasn't there in the movie. Also the song is great overall; can't wait for the cast recording!! ~:~
"Fear will be your enemy and death its consequence." Hmm, I always interpreted this in one of two ways... (1) The fear others have of Elsa and her powers will lead to them lashing out at her and killing her out of fear. (2) Elsa's fear of herself will eventually lead to her own death as she fears her own powers and cuts herself off from them and subsequently slowly withers away. _I'm_ very glad that neither scenario happened, though scenario 1 came close to passing.
I wish Disney added this song in due to the factor that 1. ITS AMAZING and 2. It adds so much character development to Elsa and shows us she has struggles too it’s not just all rainbows and ponies in fields of daisies for her
I adore this song. I relate to it in my own way. My version of being a monster is dealing with my depression and anxiety and what kind of person that makes me. Whenever I feel a breakdown coming I just listen to this and relate to Elsa. Quite literally
Oh my GOD. I've only ever seen Frozen the animated movie before, and I kind of thought "eh" and moved on. Then when I saw this in my recommended I was like, "Huh. I don't remember this song." and then I clicked on it and it was AMAZING!? If the movie had included this song, I would have liked it MUCH more!
So SS to hear that it’s not returning to Broadway after the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m so happy I saw it last May with my sister & niece 4th row center Orchestra.
Willemijn Verkaik who did the German and Dutch dubbing of Elsa in the movie did her own take of this song in English. That’s about as close we get to a movie Elsa singing this.
God the vocals on this woman are some of the best I have ever heard. And not only that but her stage presence is incredible! It is so hard to find an artist like that, someone with both the skill and the presence to give the audience one hell of a ride!
Oh, gods, I'm sobbing rn. I didn't realize how much I needed to hear this. yesterday was the first time I had contemplated suicide again since I came back from a residential after my attempt. This is a beautiful song, and I wish more people knew about it.
