And it's not just wishful thinking Or only me who's dreaming I know what these are symptoms of We could be in love.love. All my life, I have dreamed of this But I could not see your face Don't ask why to such distant stars Can fall right into place. And what about the laughter The happy ever after? Like voices of sweet angels Calling out our names And it's not just wishful thinking Or only me who's dreaming I know what these are symptoms of We could be in love. I ask myself why I sleep like a baby through the night Maybe it helps to know You'll be there tomorrow Don't open my eyes (ooh hoo-hoo) I'll wake from the spell I'm under Makes me wonder how (tell me how) I could live without you now. Anyone who's seen us Knows what's goin' on between us It doesn't take a genius To read between the lines And it's not just wishful thinking Or only me who's dreaming I know what these are symptoms of We could be in love. This was a lovely article! It was just as much fun reading as it was probably was writing for you.Lyric ❤ Be still my heart Lately its mind is all its own It would go far and wide Just to be near you Even the stars, shining up bright I've noticed when you're close to me Still it remains a mystery. I think those songs are more refreshing and admirable.Īlthough I love Mulan, I wish Reflection showed more of what Mulan wishes she could accomplish without being so whiny about what she didn't. Tiana feels passionately about her restaurant and is singing about when she got it and how she will build on it more, Pocahontas is singing about her adventures and goes down the path or excitement like she wants, and Elsa is singing about finally getting her first taste of freedom instead of her procrastination with going after it, and you can see the passion and thirst for knowledge about Elsa's capabilities within her. These girls are taking action and doing what they love and hope for instead of just saying, "When will my dream come true? I guess I'll go for it.tomorrow, or the day after, whichever." Like I feel Reflection and Part of your world exhibit. I think these are more the reasons Disney princess songs like Almost there, Just around the River Bend, and Let it go are some of my favorites. I don't like hearing either of these girls whining, let alone in a song that tries making the audience feel sorry for them. Just like Reflection, Part of your world is whiny, self-pitying, and Ariel acts like everybody else is wrong and at fault except for herself. These reasons are also why I dislike Part of your world. I love Lea Salonga's voice, but it was showcased in a whiny and bitter song. The extended version is even more whiny and it drags on for no reason. Acting like NOBODY sees who she is and that everybody else is in the wrong about her and she's in the right. Leftthetrain Very nice analysis! Reflection is actually one of the only things I dislike about Mulan, personally. Well, that about wraps things up! Thanks so much for reading! Adios! I'll bet that toi either a) are going to listen to the extended song right now ou b) already have, haha. :) toi may want to check out my link song analysis of "If toi Can Dream" from a while back.
Mostly just emphasis on her desire to be herself no detectable bitternessĪnd there toi have it! I hope toi enjoyed lire this, as I had a ton of fun écriture it. Emphasis on wanting personal freedom from society's wishes So, let's quickly compare and contrast the two. She's sick and tired of pretending to be someone she's not. Here, though, Mulan seems amer about the fact that society has set these expectations on her.

However, in the movie version, she seems mostly disappointed that her efforts to fit in don't work, and she hopes that she'll be able to make her family proud someday. What makes the extended version and movie version similar is the fact that Mulan obviously wants to be herself. Mulan bounded away from the tree’s clutches, skirting the edge of the rosebushes along Meng Po’s courtyard. He stomped on a branch before it could take hold of him. Ping Shang’s jaw tightened as he assessed the trees.

This excerpt makes my point much plus clear. Another tree extended a warped arm toward Mulan.
