Dear Disney Enthusiasts,
Before I review the soundtrack samples, I'd just like to say that I can't stop listening to the samples, and that I want to see the movie, get the soundtrack, etc.!
I feel as though I'll relate TOO well to the entire movie, to Rapunzel, to Mother Gothel, etc. I once dreamed that I'd be the voice of Rapunzel, but I never got off of my rear end, doggone it all! Anyway, I think that I may have a love/hate relationship with this movie, and with its characters, during the many days of the future...
NOTE: SOUNDTRACK SPOILERS!
The following is my review of the entire "Samples Soundtrack":
TRACK 1- WHEN WILL MY LIFE BEGIN (My favorite song! I'd love to hear a Country cover by a famous Country singer!)
MUS: Cool, cheerful, reminds me of the new Holly Hobbie dolls...
VOC: She utters the dreaded "Like", which modernizes the song too much, but the entire song is pretty cool!
TRACK 2- WHEN WILL MY LIFE BEGIN (REPRISE 1)
MUS: Appropriate
VOC: A bit too cheerful...?
TRACK 3- MOTHER KNOWS BEST
MUS: Too cheerful...
VOC: Too saccharine, and yet, not saccharine enough...Amazon ended with "men with pointy-", and that made me LOL!, due to its innuendo-esque, funny implications...Why'd they end with THAT phrase? What were they THINKING?
TRACK 4-WHEN WILL MY LIFE BEGIN (REPRISE 2)
MUS: Cool...and very Disney
VOC: Sorta weird...
TRACK 5- I'VE GOT A DREAM
MUS: Okay...
VOC: It's too bad that the annunciation seems to be nul and void, because the lyrics are actually pretty cool!
TRACK 6- MOTHER KNOWS BEST (REPRISE)
MUS: Cool...
VOC: Cool, wicked, sexy change of vocal quality, which makes the reprise better than the actual song
TRACK 7- I SEE THE LIGHT
MUS: Calm and cool...
VOC: I don't like the pinchy, nasally quality of Mandy Moore's voice here...
TRACK 8- HEALING INCANTATION
MUS: Super mystical!
VOC: Mysterious and sorta whiney...
TRACK 9- FLYNN WANTED
MUS: Adventurous and action-oriented...
TRACK 10- PROLOGUE
MUS: Cool and mysterious!
VOC: Interesting!
TRACK 11- HORSE WITH NO RIDER
MUS: More mysterious action music
TRACK 12- ESCAPE ROUTE
MUS: Sounds sorta like some of the music from "Atlantis"
TRACK 13- CAMPFIRE
MUS: Sweet...
TRACK 14- KINGDOM DANCE
MUS: Medieval and cool
TRACK 15- WAITING FOR THE LIGHTS
MUS: Super Disney-esque...and folksy!
TRACK 16- RETURN TO MOTHER
MUS: Sweet, sad, etc.
TRACK 17- REALIZATION AND ESCAPE
MUS: Ooo...mystical and chime-like!
TRACK 18- THE TEAR HEALS
MUS: Ominous!
TRACK 19- KINGDOM CELEBRATION
MUS: Too goofy! Wow! Ack! Weird!
TRACK 20- SOMETHING THAT I WANT
MUS: Okay...and typical...
VOC: Almost too BOLD! Sounds...um...materialistic...and materialism-promoting...in the extreme...with regards to the lyrics...I can see tons of little girls citing this song as an excuse to demand every piece of "Tangled" merchandise that exists!
NOTES: Murphy and Moore have a few vocal traits in common...interesting. The entire soundtrack reminds me of the soundtracks from both "Aladdin" and "Atlantis".
Thank you in advance for your replies.
