Lyrics:
Countless hours of learning more
Countless hours of knowing less
Can't look behind you
You have to look ahead.
So many doubts running through your mind
All the excuses
Don't have the time
All the rejection you have to leave behind
Leave it all behind
Hold your dreams
Don't ever let it go
Be yourself
And let the world take notice
You'll find strength
When people being you down
They will see
If you will only, only believe
Someway, Somehow (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't give up now (Don't give up)
Don't be afraid to succeed (to succeed, yeah)
Someway, somehow (Come on, everybody)
The time is right now (It's our time, yeah)
Don't be afraid to succeed (to succeed, yeah!)
Hold your dreams
Don't ever let it go
Be yourself
And let the world take notice
You'll find strength
When people bring you down
They will see
If you will only, only believe.

Watched this movie as a kid and promised I wouldn’t give up. I now model and act, I’ve started dancing, I have a local radio show, I direct music videos + am writing my first film with two other girls, and I just started travelling for my work :)

[@DaviaMonae]

This movie came out in 2009 when I was 12 and I had soooo many dreams back then. I was so creative and fearless and I was in advance musical theater and advance drama all throughout high school and now I am 24 years old, working at a dealership. How did I get here? Watching this brings tears to my eyes because it reminds me that I let my 12 year old self down :(

[@ayomideadebayo3256]

You did not let yourself down, it’s just a detour, you can get back to doing everything creative that you loved back then!

[@DannyyDC]

Never too late to get back to your dreams, detours are ok just don’t give up !

[@MLIrons]

The question is this. Are you happy in life? If not, then put it in God's hands. Let Him show you your path. And you will find that you are where you are supposed and need to be. When I was young, all I knew was that I wanted to do something with computers. I tried going in to college as a programmer and could not pass accounting in order to advance in my grades. So, I went into the Corps. For my final 4 years, I was the head of an IT department. When I separated, I went back into college and got my associates in computer network operations (graduated within the top 10 of my graduating class). And for almost 13 years I have been working as a tier 1 network administrator/manager for a small company. I may not be making 6 figures a year (I am close though), but I can tell you that I did not lose faith, even when my path took a detour.

[@avzjay9772]

No you didn't! You can still pursue your dreams and I hope you have taken a step to trying to. I quit my Social Work job to return to painting and setup a community business. It's been hard but I'm so happy! If you can find a way, do it!! (Planning is key!! 💕)

[@essflem]

Think of just one of those dreams and find out how to make it come true, youtube the process, read articles, anything and also get back to creating things just for fun.

[@juanpapalmag2497]

2021 and I'm still crying with this scene...

[@samarztk]

swear to god when i saw this movie i knew i would become something..now it's 2016..and i am still nothing. this song still inspires me and makes me want to cry. hold your dream.

[@librarian4485]

[@jroronoa17]

samarztk girl it's 2017 I hope something has come your way! A new job, a new love interest, a drunkin night with a close friend! I feel you got this in the bag! ❤️

[@MissUnderstoodOfficial]

You are something. You are strong, beautiful and capable of achieving all you want to. All the best with life doll, hold your dream indeed! Goes for all of you

[@gregorycrnkovic1660]

I will be 60 years old this year and I literally have nothing to show for it. But in reality that is the way we all came into this world, with nothing. I have a 16 year old beagle who loves me, she is blind, but she knows when to lay her head on my chest when I need her the most. Hear these three things that I am going to tell you and always try to abide by them. You have to do what you have to do because it is the right thing to do. If it is hard then do it hard, nobody said anything was going to come easy. And lastly, live your life with an attitude of graditude, be thankful for everything because you could always have less or encounter worse. Your life is up to you, go live it. And always remember that GOD has your back...............

[@louie1501]

This Is The Most Beautiful Part Of The Movie!

[@nuraimaratova480]

And the scene with Kherington Payne

[@ineidamedina5807]

Agree

[@RKELLYGEEK]

Also love how one of the dancers just throw that girl to another dancer.

[@asiaderrough9724]

That has always been my favorite part Hahahaha like it's nothing hahaha

[@ybntraxy_8549]

Oof

[@maplelu9514]

He was like.... yeah you have her

[@murphyfamilymusic]

My brother wrote this song so reading all of these positive comments made me smile :-)

[@joewhitehead3]

For real??

[@murphyfamilymusic]

Yeah!

[@joewhitehead3]

+PRM Digital Productions That is awesome! Props to him!

[@murphyfamilymusic]

Thanks Joe!

[@joewhitehead3]

+PRM Digital Productions Has he written anything else I might know?

[@benwillems8584]

I loved when Kevin, after his low point at the metro, just went "fuck it I will just be an awesome teacher"

[@SwanArtistry05]

Thank GOD for Naturi Naughton

[@randomaxx7]

To this day I still can't control the tears at 4:20, as a theater actor it's just so beautiful to say "HOLD YOUR DREAMS!"

[@nadiastackz9255]

[@emorylamar]

This movie is such an inspirational film for people who dream of preforming I love how they have a woman of color Naturi Naughton as a main lead and vocalist this movie shows so much diversity loved the entire movie and this performance

[@joewhitehead3]

The original Fame movie had that as well, didn’t it?

[@benwillems8584]

At first I thought Naturi was one of the leads from Dreamgirls. Such a voice

[@hannahfarleylong8315]

@@joewhitehead3 Comparing this to The original FAME is like comparing the 3rd Rocky to the first one. The first one has character development, thoughtful content and addresses the reality of performing arts schools and how it affects the students, both short and long term. This one… is superficial tripe.

[@kevindecoteau3186]

In the original they also had a woman of color playing a lead! Sadly, she just passed onto whatever comes next!

[@PrincessPink433]

Never saw the original Fame movie but I saw this version years ago and I liked it so much that I watched it with my dad and got very emotional at the choir’s part because the lyrics were very relatable to me at that dark period of my life. Unfortunately I ended up dropping out of high school but I picked myself back up and years later I’ve now got my Bachelor’s degree and living in my own apartment. It’s never too, late, no matter what stage of your life you’re in.

[@gloriaokeke1533]

It's 2022 and this song just came to my spirit and I came here on youtube to find it. I'm having chills listening to it over and over again. "Hold your dreams, Don't ever let it go, be yourself and let the world take notice, you'll find strength when people bring you down. They will See, if you will only, only Believe." This is inspirational to anyone who wants that dream. "Sighs" I'm good now.

[@RKELLYGEEK]

I loved how they used slow motion. It's not overly done and how they used it to help illustrate the dances. They knew what they were doing. Overall the cinematography in this movie is amazing as well as this song.

[@Arichxc]

I come back to this video often. It’s all for my sis Naturi tbh. It reminds me to stay the course. ❤️

[@MSFTSqueen]

Everytime I watch this I get chills

[@crystaltharrell]

I watched this video when I was a high school senior and I felt so inspired. I am watching this now again as a PhD student on my way to becoming an epidemiologist and I remembered why I felt so good after watching it. Thank you for reminding me to believe in myself. Yes, it’s cheesy but it has worked for me this long so I’m going to keep believing that I am destined for greatness!

[@2107tonyface]

Naturi Naughton ( excuse spelling ) has one of the most beautiful powerful voices & lends it to this amazing song magically. Brilliant x

[@mengxiaoh9048]

it's 2021 and I'm writing my application for a job in a dream industry, I kinda forgot how passionate I was before the pandemic but somehow I remember I have watched a movie about Julliard School when I was in high school and finally found it. This really helps to remind me of my dream. (and I have graduated from grad school now.) I think this movie is underrated and the cast really got talent, otherwise, I won't remember this so well...

[@hillineta9999]

The intro is the most beautiful piece of melody I’ve heard in my life

[@ThePureLegend95]

"Hold your dreams, don't ever let it go" I almost gave up my dreams once but I finally followed my heart and pursued them. Today, I completed my first movie ever and my heart is crying happy tears. My message is: BE YOUR DREAMS.

This song should be in a radio giving a message to everybody.

[@dongilleo9743]

I've never been much of a fan of dance, but the dance segment from 1:50 to 2:58 is one of the most beautiful dance performances I've ever seen.

[@yoyohan9]

It's been at least three years since I first saw this but damn, I still get the most pleasant chills when I see the slow-motion bits. Especially, 4:34 - 4:43. It's an aesthetic of sorts.

[@tatayanakendrick5531]

As Many times I have seen this movie it actually bring tears to my eyes because it tells lifetime of high school students that they can make it if only if they can believe

[@kennedywindear7482]

I danced to this for my 5th grade graduation I'm now going to 6th grade and my grandmother resuntly died and this song was the last song she saw me a very to this song makes me cry

[@cb_2887]

Everything about this scene is a YES!!!!!!

[@AngelLove890]

The talent in this mooooooovie 🔥🔥🔥

[@diannafranklin5742]

love naturi naugton got a great voice

[@gastonordones9935]

someone else that feels like you could do anything but when the song ends it goes away

[@qualifiedarmchaircritic]

This movie really wanted me to believe that this whole year of this Arts School had one (1) decent solo singer lol

[@Sophw32202]

this movie made me follow my dream in singing and acting and now im at university doing my second year and then next year do my third year and then my MA in acting :)

[@Sophw32202]

I'm going into my third year and then in 9 months i'll be graduating :D :D

[@souad_joubbane]

good luck

[@ChelleIsRandom]

I don't like this movie- I found it hard to connect with the characters- but the amount of talent in the cast is unreal.

[@pallafox]

+ChelleIsRandom Bad direction and writing. The cast is talented and the music selections were stellar. Such a shame the executions were poor. The songs were the movie's highlights, everything else was boring.

[@srpsntrk1636]

totally agree something about characters is missing, thats why ı think it couldnt be a hit

[@tildag.9809]

I like the black lady singing And the ballerinas 😁

[@iKETOURAGE]

yeah... The characters weren't charismatic. I don't know what it was but they lacked a certain charm. Ive only watched this movie once and was in no hurry to rewatch.

[@Arichxc]

@@tildag.9809 her name is Naturi Naughton 🙂. I love her too! I keep coming back to Fame just for her.

[@velvetbuenconsejo1547]

I go for runs and I play this when I'm about to finish my run and when the singer hits the climax note/vocal shout, for lack of better words, during that all out shout, I do a hard sprint to finish and I sprint all the way through her note/scream. Awesome

[@gloriaokeke1533]

Your description is so vivid , I can actually visualize it. Beautiful

[@nadiastackz9255]

3:43 brings tears and flashbacks in my eyes

[@maisiemurrell6423]

We did a dance performance to this it was AMAZING

[@lenniegray3086]

I literally, as in a couple hours ago, was an African dancer in the final performance of an end of school year show. It was one of the most fun things I can say I did.

Idk why but today I remember this song, so I look for it on spotify and I got so emotional, this performance its sooooo beautiful.

[@skylarhorror2583]

I absolutely love this song. Sadly the movie was eh. I still listen and get chills!! 😄

[@stevencee6140]

Just wanted this movie to be so much better. A lack of charisma, good story telling and cliched uninspiring plot points killed it. The performances are top notch but not enough to save a movie relying too much on the High School Musical crowd.

[@coccicachou]

I still love it. Very much!

Fame del 1980 era un capolavoro, questo non è assolutamente all'altezza. Non c'è il minimo paragone. Guardate l'altro se volete davvero emozionarvi e immergervi nello spirito artistico.

I’ll never understand why this movie received a negative reaction. It’s brilliant! Also, is this really what a performing arts school graduation looks like?

[@ahmadgdaisat554]

wrong who thinks that movie is bad this is a great movie specially this part

[@RK831]

Because it is not as good as the original movie. Remakes almost always fail.

[@nicoleackerman205]

They should have named it something else the orginal is so much better that why.
