Now Playing Week 10 - How Far I'll Go

Recently this has been a song that I love to sing. It's so catchy! I do admit most of the times I'm simply mumbling the words but at least I'm getting the tune right.

Daddy also told me that he read from a blog that mentioned something cool that intergalactic-ashkenazi noticed about the movie! Something about another Disney movie he watched when he was young.

Moana is is the reverse of the Little Mermaid
little mermaid: ocean princess wants to go to the land
moana: land princess wants to go to the ocean
little mermaid: big scary ocean lady is the enemy
moana: big scary land lady is actually a friend
little mermaid: villain has a necklace of magical importance
moana: hero has a necklace of magical importance
little mermaid: small good crab
moana: large bad crab
But wait there’s more
little mermaid: animal sidekick is a talking fish who cannot leave the ocean
moana: animal sidekick is a non-talking chicken that needs to stay out of the water
little mermaid: male lead skewers the big bad at the end
moana: male lead accidentally created the big bad to start with
little mermaid: leaves home to join new world
moana: returns home to bring her people back out into the world

Here's a link to the song. Hope you love it too!

I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go, where I long to be

See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go

I know everybody on this island, seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?

See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?

The line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go
