[@KittyxGrimm]

This is what I feel like a good cover *should* do: show some love for the original, but still give it something new and unique. This version not only does that but turns it on its head in the best way possible. I never would have thought of this song being sung from one girl to another, but it's a fucking ingenious idea!

[@callenstewart]

Totally agree. :)

Nothing but the utmost respect for Julie Taymor and T.V. Carpio. They took probably the loftiest song in the soundtrack and transformed it. What was once an ode to a crush is now that silent, unrequited ache all queer people experience when they're young. It's so affecting and the most enduring part of this movie 15 years later. Bravo.

[@ForTheForsaken]

What on earth are you going on about? This song isn't about you or 'queer' people, it's about love. You are not special in your feelings; love is universal.

[@jijitters]

​@@ForTheForsaken They are expressing how the different tone of the context and the new production of the song impact the feelings you get while listening to it, calm down. This video is literally the song being used to establish the silent, unrequited, queer ache that this girl is feeling. You have never felt it, you will never feel it, you should quiet down.

[@ForTheForsaken]

I remember seeing this for the first time, just happening across this film on T.V. This scene took my breath away. I was initially moved by her voice and the refreshing rendition of this song, but as the young man left the shot and the screen focused in on the cheerleader... chills. Truly gave this song new meaning.

[@drudle]

Can we all appreciate how at the climax of the scene she's walking through the chaos of all this masculine bullshit, just gliding through at peace with herself? And then she comes out the other side unphased, walking away from it all? Power moves.

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

Her singing is just so perfectly suited to this song. She *wants* to hold your hand. I love this so much more than the original.

[@Hernal03]

You may like this version _so much more_ than the original, but the fact remains that it would not have existed _'without'_ the original. Coming up with the tune in the first place was the the more creative _and_ difficult part of the artistic process. _"Improving"_ an already existing song by adding bright colors, bells and whistles, a pleasant sounding female voice and changing the gender association (from a visual perspective at least) was not all that hard to do --- _after the fact)._ Just because the original was the exuberant but _straight father_ and this is the _sexy sapphic woke daughter_ doesn't change the fact that the daughter would not have existed without the father.

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

@@Hernal03 lol, who hurt you? 🤣 In all seriousness, who responds to simple appreciation with an irrelevant niche political tirade? Worst is that I didn't express appreciation for the characteristics you maligned. Like the silly commercials, have a Snickers, you're clearly hungry 😛

This was my first encounter with something gay. I'm glad this was my introduction to the topic. This kind of fury and anger that surrounds homophobia was just something I never understood, and they couldn't indoctrinate me. Seeing this, and then hearing people say that someone like this would go to hell? Well which one sounds more christianly? Girl professing their love or people professing their hate? So I chose to step away from those fake Christian types.

[@mattymissytravels]

that had nothing to do with it. it's a song about people yearning for love & to be loved. let's not make it a stalinist marxist wokeist gender i.d. political critical race theory thing. it's not about that at all. thank to god none of those things existed in the time this song was written but sadly they came to exist later on. oh how i wish we could all return to a more less complicated & more simplistic time for when this song was written in. how dare you try to hijack this song to push you're narrow minded leftist socialist political views upon this song. how dare you & i hope all that crap you live eat breathe dies away & we as a people unite you'd rather we stayed divided for you people are not about unity only about hatred & division well you can all fuck off ! what this world needs now more than anything is people to unite as one & spread the love. the world needs more love & less hate & less stalinist marxist communist rhetoric & dangerous woke ideology. that all can go to hell. we will be a united people now & love each other & fuck you trying to spread hatred & division fuck you we won't have any of that. we will just have unity harmony peace & love in this world now & always & forever !

After so many years this is still one of my fav covers from this movie. When I was 20 years old,there was a girl I was in love with...and to be honest I still feel the same...even I was rejected by her. We' re still friends after so many years. She's married to a really nice guy, they have two wonderful boys... And now I'm 36...and nothing changed. Probably gonna love her till my last day on earth...
