[@OpticalSorcerer]

I'm glad we got hero Elsa (mainly because it'd be too heartbreaking if she was the villain), though I wish we'd found a way to incorporate both versions. Maybe Elsa faces her fears as an evil version of herself at Atohollan?

[@elementalsteve9029]

For me I imagine her singing this not as like a evil villain but just a misunderstood one. She accidentally killed Anna but she doesn’t want to hurt anyone else so she goes leaves and is on the run in doing so spreading the winter

[@LydiatheBard]

Yeah that’s the vibe defo!! An unwilling villain but a villain all the same, pretty sad really

@@NeonStarWolf THAT WOULD BE SUCH AN AMAZING CONCEPT 😭😭 it could even be its own standalone movie, where some random protagonist has to find out what happened to Arendelle while slowly unraveling the truth about the “evil queen,” the blue statue in the middle of the fjord, and king Hans who we finds out was behind everything.

It feels like Elsa thinks the voice is Anna. Maybe the voice in this version is Elsa’s delusion as she grieves over Anna. Wishing to hear her sister’s voice one more time

[@LydiatheBard]

Ooooh I LOVE that take

[@aspieangel1988]

Or it’s Anna’s ghost haunting her 😂

[@cherry_bear_aestheticd6840]

Yea I was thinking that too

[@odette2957]

that would make a better story tbf but disney r too scared to not have a happy ending

[@hiimluna2069]

I’d like to think it’s still her mother and maybe even anna since if she died you could defo add her and just have two voices calling her into the woods and then she goes to the woods goes through attholan (how tf do you spell it) yadayada and finds the place with her mom (again maybe anna if she’s dead too) and we have the big transition to white dress moment and is finally able to come to terms with anna’s death and finds her purpose (ruling both the forest and the kingdom for her sister i suppose) I feel like that’d be a beautiful story about grief it’s basically the next right thing but make it the center point of the movie but elsa’s the one grieving

[@carolinamixi987]

While listening to this I though the voice would be "Anna", but its actually an allucination of Elsa because she was never able to get over Anna's death, so when she says "Where are you going? Don't leave me alone" She is seeing how "Anna" is going away, when she says "How do I follow you Into the unknown" I see her getting near a risk, and deciding to jump so she could join her sister. Lovely song btw I love it

[@LydiatheBard]

Oooh interesting take

[@dissy1853]

Yes i had the same thought:D

[@Launi-]

I though the same thing, but as an extra I think after Anna's death she keeps the eternal winter out of her deep sadness and anger, and as the "movie" goes on she goes crazy with these hallucinations of her sister as everyone tries to stop her so the winter ends. In the end, when she finds herself surrounded on the edge of a cliff by enemies, or worse, someone who was trying to save her just like Anna did, she looks down and decides to join her dear little sister. After listening the song I read the discription and saw Lydia's point of view when she create this version, which is intersting because It follows the line of Frozen II, but I prefer mine because it's more tragic and in a way it makes a lot more sense to me to do that, because when she loses Anna her powers are going to be extremely out of control due to her unstable emotions that we saw in the first movie, and people trying to fight her, calling her a monster and leaving her alone physically and emotionally would make everything much more unstable, resulting in her going mad, her hallucinations and her future suicide. But this is what I think, what do you think about my point?

[@sharonrobison3440]

I have a feeling that these comments are going to lead into very interesting theories on what happened to elsa’s past if she was a villain. Which excites me!

[@lunakingsley.7247]

@@Launi- I like the idea of her not dying after the jump but that she is injured and meets a boy who is as cold as her and helps her up, an unintentionally side affect of her winter being two cursed ice shards that ended up in this boy and caused him to feel lonely and push himself away from his best friend. This gives Elsa a companion and someone to fight for however that person is cursed by her own magic, and that curse is the only reason they are similar, that boys friends is also where Elsa gets the name"the snow queen". You can probably guess the boy's name.

[@HeadDetectiveLassie]

I kind of imagine this as the darker AU of the first movie. Elsa's parents took the trolls' warnings more seriously, and to spare Anna and their people, they go further to isolate Elsa. They take her and leave her alone in a palace by herself far from home on the highest of the mountains, mournful but unable to not fear her and her power despite their love. They make sure she is taken care of, food is delivered and all, but she never sees other people though she wakes to gifts each year on her birthday. As time goes on, Elsa grows used to the solitude and accepts her new home, grief and fury long faded. She creates living snowmen for to fill her palace with servants, her only company and "family" that she loves, and as she grows older, her memories grow fainter until she barely remembers her family's faces. All she really remembers is that she once hurt someone she really cared about and believes that she is too dangerous to be around others, so she never ventures out. She is pale, quiet, and withdrawn, more ghost than girl. Her powers continue to grow unchecked, turning the palace icy, covering the mountain in snow, and creating a fierce endless blizzard. One day, Elsa starts hearing a voice calling for her, but she ignores it, thinking part of it is her going further mad but also that it may be some trap that seeks to lure her out and unleash her evil on the rest of the world. She resists it for weeks and months until it grows so constant and tempting that, for the first time in years, she leaves the palace's walls, finally venturing into the unknown, a world beyond the one she has known most of her life. Every step, she considers turning back, her last "adventure" having ended in near tradegy, but the voice seems to be louder and growing closer. Abruptly, it cuts off, and all she sees is snow and ice everywhere. Just as she is about to turn back, she sees a figure in the snow, unmoving, hair splayed out around its head, the most vibrant hue Elsa's seen in years, vivid against the endless white. It almost painful, this fiery red, but also, it's so very bright... and familiar. A remnant of a forgotten dream. Crown Princess Anna had been leading a band of men on a quest to find her missing parents, the King and Queen, who had vanished months ago during one of their annual ventures into the mountains, leaving her fiance to watch over the kingdom as regent in her stead. She got separated from the party during an avalanche, and her mount had been too injured, forcing her to leave it behind. She continued on on foot, looking for shelter in the blizzard. Through the whipping snow, she swore she could sometimes see a palace in the distance though she had heard of none in the mountains. Eventually, in pursuit of this mirage, the cold overcame her, and she collapsed, weakened. She awakes in a well furnished room. It is chilly, and she realizes the floor is iced over when it burns her feet. She puts on the warm boots and furs left out for her. Venturing out, she is startled to see snowmen walking around, acting as servants and guards. They can talk too. Once she calms down, she is lead to a large hall with a long banquet table covered in food with only one ornate chair, almost a throne. After some hesitation, she sits in it to eat. Over the days, Anna finds herself stranded in this strange icy palace, unable to leave due to the increasingly perilous blizzard. She is uncertain of her mens' and parents' fates. All of her needs are met, and she is free to explore though there are parts of the palace she is barred from. Sometimes, she swears someone is watching her, but she can catch no more than a fleeting shadow in the corner of her eyes. From the snowmen's whispers and her half answered questions, Anna learns of the palace's sole monarch, the Ice Queen. She seeks out an audience with her to thank her and beg aid of her magical snowmen to help her out of the mountains or to find her parents and people, unwilling to believe they were truly lost. Yet, she is denied all petition and access. Eventually, one snowman she had bonded with, Olaf, a bit goofier and friendlier than the other snowmen and familiar looking for some reason, offers to help her meet the Queen. With his help, Anna gets by the guards and makes her way through the halls she had never been able to explore before. It's darker, and the ice is thicker. Shivers wrack her frame, the cold stabbing her through her insulated clothing. Her breath fogs, the moisture in her lungs almost crytalizing. Still, she pushed on. Some doors are frozen over completely, unable to be opened. Others empty or trashed, the debris long since covered in ice. The throne room is deserted, the royal seat, spiked with razor sharp spires, empty. There is a library, the books packed and frozen in the shelves. Half the room is wrecked. The fireplace is without fire, the wood in it covered in frost. She notices something odd, an object that seemed like it had been thrown in to burn but had been frozen over before the long expired fire could finish it off. The pointed edge looks like the upright corner of a wooden frame, its intricately carved design filled in with delicate, glittering frost. The painting it contained was an iced canvas, the image obscured by the layers of ice crystals that fastened its partially burnt lower quarter to the logs. Curiosity overcomes Anna, and she tries to carefully scratch away the frost, trying not to shatter the whole thing. She chips away at it with her dagger. An eye is revealed then a nose than a reserved smile under a sandy mustache, and her hand stills for a moment before frantically scraping away, the paint chipped, flaked, and damaged but not enough to disguise features she almost knew better than her own, her shaking hands revealing the countenance of her father. It takes her mere minutes to unearth her mother's face. Memories prod her attention, vague recollections of this portrait that had perhaps... maybe once hung in her home. There is a sharp pang in her chest, and she drags a hand down nearer to the damaged ends of the portrait, unwilling to waste time uncovering the whole portrait when some distant pull tells her something more important was further down. It took revealing only half of her own childish face, most of it spared from the flames that had eaten up her dress, to see that, unlike her parents, she peered not forward but up at something near her height, a smile too broad for the formal sitting on her face. Anna carefully ran the blade just above the charred borders, a desperation urging her to find some remnant that escaped the hungry fire of whatever could make her smile like that. A glimpse of pale bangs, an arched brow, a wide blue eye, button nose, and just the very curling corner of a smile. Anna's fingers brush over it. From near imperceptible memories, before she lost her grasp of them entirely, she plucks one single word free, untethered and fraying, unravelling as she tried to recall it. She knew it and knew it not, balanced on the tip of her tongue. It was meaningless, but so important, calling forth the fleeting afterimage of a face obscured and a deep agonizing grief that came and went so fast, it throbbed like a wound prodded before it was fully healed. The door of library slams open, and Anna startles, tripping and falling back into the fireplace, her body snapping the frame and puncturing the portrait. She hits her head. "What are you doing in here?" snaps a cool, biting voice, reminiscent of the blizzard she hadn't been able to truly forget the terrifying chill of. A pale woman with a snow white braid and dress the color of a frozen over lake stands in the doorway, her pale blue eyes shards of ice, cold and piercing. The temperature of the room plummets, fractals of creeping ice spreading from her bare feet. Anna wraps her arms around herself, shaking from the cold or fear (or both). This must be the Ice Queen, and shiver went down Anna's spine. Her fragile hope began to crack a little, bit by bit. (The call is probably the spirit of their dead mom who died while she and their father were making their annual trip to check on Elsa (even though she never saw them). Her spirit couldn't move on until she reunited the two sisters and fixed the bond she and her husband broke out of fear. She was the one to lead Elsa to find Anna before she died in the blizzard like they did, and she will help Anna recover the memories of her sister the trolls had erased, help give Elsa the courage to leave the mountain, and help the two sisters learn to trust each other and team up go fight back against Hans when tries to take over the kingdom and get rid of both sisters, Elsa learning to control her powers once the chill of loneliness is beaten back by Anna's cheerfulness and love and she learns to healthily express rather than supress her emotions behind a icy facade. The ice palace is meant to represent the fortress she built around herself, cold and sharp and intimidating to keep others away, but the blizzard is her emotions out of control and untamed because she never really learned to handle them. The risk of going into the unknown is leaving a prison that she could still control and shape. The world out there is new, unfamiliar, and chaotic and has monsters greater than her but also more warmth than she's known in years. More plot and details floating around in my head, but those are the main bits.)

[@torazely]

Nah. Crossing the Line. Nothing Left to Lose is Cass's final desperate plead to remain on her dark path. It's her song of fear, of doubt. She HAS to follow this path still, because she thinks she doesn't have anything left. This song, as well as Crossing the Line for Cass, is the START of the villain arc. This is the acceptance. The beginning of their descent. Yes, they have different sounds, but the mood and purpose is the same: this is a character who has been driven to the extreme by those around them, their actions or inactions. Nothing they do in their attempts to be a hero has ever gained them what they truly desire, and now, one last peice of information (Anna's death/Cass' true parentage) have pushed them so far beyond the point they can stand. If they can't be a hero and get what they want Then they'll be a villain, and take it by force.

Middle: She runs around rooms trying to think and listening to the voice trying to find it. She runs outside, past the houses and onto frozen lake. The first thing she sees is Anna's frozen corpse. She stops singing and stops in her tracks staring and still hearing the voice. End: Elsa turns around to see prince Hans and she freezes him too out of pure anger. She sees villagers come out of their houses and bow to her. But instead of denying this she embraces this new identity.

My dad went out to pick up her medicine from the pharmacy, and I went on KZbin to find a song to calm her down.

She stood beside the throne, slowly caressing it. The palace filled with frozen servants, her eyes fell upon the icy corpse, Anna. "I've had my adventure, I don't need something new!!" The same voice kept keeping her awake everynight, the unknown is slowly luring her into the darkness. She walked out to the nearby balcony, a once warm, lively Kingdom had became ruin filled with cold everlasting ice. Olaf, seeing the Queen slowly letting herself go. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING??" Elsa shouted, her voice echoed eerily, "DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!" she cried, "HOW DO I FOLLOW YOU?!!" the voice stopped, she felt alone, for enternity.

She sounds suicidal in this version, I’ve got chills.. it’s really cool seeing a version based in grief. Less villainous by choice and more just hurting and in despair, accidentally hurting those around her because she can’t see past her own pain. Especially cool cause we do have an actual grief based song from Anna’s perspective, now we get Elsa’s

It's dark. Really dark. But, I don't hear a villain. I hear pain and grief and thoughts of a self-harming or self-terminating nature. It's definitely sad and a bit frightening. A potentially delusional and self-destructive villain could be terrifying. This is so good.

[@willingtohelp1119]

I love this. It really gives the vibe of Elsa being all broken by Ana's death. And the way she tries to pursue her spirit / soul even though she's already dead. It's like she's expressing her frustration, loneliness and grief while singing it all away. The scenario I'd imagine for this would be her sitting with her legs to a side, looking intensely to the snow that's beneath her, all fluffy and cold, just like she might feel. Fluffy, like a squishy toy that a kid would hug in order to feel accompanied, or simply loved and cared for, while also being cold to the core, 'cause her sister's death has left her life, making her feel like it's all nonsense and it's worthless to keep on going. I believe that for Elsa, Ana was her everything. It was her inspiration, support, positivity, joy... And once she's gone... Olaf doesn't give warm hugs anymore, Cristoph and Sven no longer smile, and Arendelle has lost its bright spark. Really really cool cover. Please, keep going. It's truly awesome.

[@lunacadere5233]

Elsa finishes the note, slowly lowering her head and staring at the floor. She's grown numb to the world of winter outside, and barely glances at the frozen corpses lining the streets anymore. Oh, how she longs for freedom from this winter.... longs for Anna back in her life, so that she'd have a second chance to reconcile.... but with every thought of longing and desire, the cursed winter outside of the castle doors only grows stronger, and spreads faster. Elsa is totally and utterly.... alone.

Imagine the video being a cruel mimic of "Do you want to build a snowman?" where Elsa is follow the echoes of Anna around every bend, thinking she's following Anna's voice. "Every one I ever loved is within these walls"-- she can't mean her, she hates herself. She's talking about the memories of Anna. Although she has so few of them, it's driving her insane. It's just same few memories on repeat. Still she tries to freeze the memories, so that those days when Anna was alive wouldn't disappear. Until finally, at the end of the song, the voice leads her to where Anna's statue is. "How do I follow you into the unknown~?" She commits suic*de, her final stand at the feet of the only person who loved her.

Wow, this is powerful!! With the lyrics, it absolutely sounds like Elsa accidentally killed Anna with her powers, and now in her grief, is hallucinating the voice of Death telling her to commit suicide. And she ends up following the voice by the end, since she thinks she’s a monster and doesn’t want to hurt anyone else. The “Everyone i’ve ever loved is here within these walls” is actually her repeating back what the voice told her, since Anna and her parents are all dead and the voice is telling her to join them. So good, but dark!

Lyrics Ah-ah, oh-oh Ah-ah, oh-oh Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh I can hear you, but I won't Some look for trouble While others don't There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day And ignore your whispers Which I wish would go away, oh, oh-oh Oh (Ah-ah, oh-oh) You're not a voice You're just ringing in my ear And if I heard you, which I don't I'm spoken for, I fear Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls I've had my adventure, I don't need something new I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you Into the unknown Into the unknown Into the unknown What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake Are you here to distract me So I make a big mistake? Or are you someone out there Who's a little bit like me? Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be? Every day's a little harder As I feel my power grow Don't you know there's part of me That longs to go Into the unknown? Into the unknown Into the unknown (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh Are you out there? Do you know me? Can you feel me? Can you show me? Ah-ah, ah-ah (ah-ah, ah-ah) Ah-ah, ah-ah (ah-ah, ah-ah) Ah-ah, ah-ah (ah-ah, ah-ah) Ah-ah, ah-ah (ah-ah, ah-ah) Ah-ah, ah-ah (ah-ah, ah-ah) Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (ah-ah, ah-ah) Where are you going? Don't leave me alone How do I follow you Into the unknown?

[@HostageBoyfriend]

The shift from desperation to the soft defeat of actual sadness at 2:19 with the oo-oohs had me 😳

[@Clownin3456]

That's the best thing about this for me, Elsa was originally supposed to be a misunderstood villain. Literally. Amazing...

[@zenawyn1952]

I like to think that this is the spirits reaching out to Elsa, feeling her grief. They offer a way for her to release herself, "into the unknown". This is a gorgeous cover

[@SpikyEaredPichu96]

Late to the party with this one, but it's so hauntingly beautiful! Though my needs-a-happy-ending brain then pictures an alternate version of The Next Right Thing, turned into a duet with Elsa and the spirit/memory of Anna helping pull herself up enough to make right with what's been done.

[@heliconia9895]

AAH IT WAS SOO GOOOD!!!! You could really hear the emotion in her voice! Really really really good job Lydia!!!!!!

[@LydiatheBard]

THANK YOU SO SO MUUUUUCH!

Omg queen you can't play with my patience like that! my excitement mater is going through the roof ❤️❤️❤️

Not long to go!

[@aspenanimates3644]

Your interpretation of this sorrowful version Into the Unknown puts a whole new meaning to the call within Elsa and the lines “everyone I’ve ever loved is here within these walls”. That last one could mean something like a graveyard where Anna lies. The ending lines like “where are you going, don’t leave me alone,” could mean Anna leaving her and she still mourns her sister’s death.

[@thenineteenth8526]

When she says, "Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls," in this version, it makes me imagine she took Anna's frozen body with her into her ice castle, sorta similar to how the dwarves preserve Snow White in a glass coffin. To have her always with her.

[@Rachel2538]

I just played this for my 5-year-old daughter (who loves Frozen, of course), and she said this song was peaceful and sad. So great job on getting your story idea across! 👍🏼

[@joshuagoldsmith7240]

Changing the key in a piece has always been kinda fascinating by changing it one song from major to minor or minor to major makes the song almost brand new and unrecognizable it’s truly is just fascinating to me.

[@lasercraft32]

The most interesting part is it doesn't sound angry, or inherently _evil..._ it just sounds sad. As if she IS the stories villain and knows it, but wishes things were different.

[@oakenshadow6763]

I really like the sad and lost feeling of this. Like she's begging for the voice to both stop toying with her, but not leave her alone.

[@pinoyjona]

Honestly, with how dangerous Elsa’s powers were in the first movie and she didn’t mean to, just imagine if she actually decided to use her powers on the world. It be like Daenerys Targaryen with her dragons but with a global ice age level of terror.

[@msk-qp6fn]

This would fit Elsa's initial concept as the antagonist of the story.

[@TheKeybladeKeeper]

This give the impression that Elsa is hearing the siren's voice as Anna, which brings a new darkness to the line "how do I follow you into the unknown"

[@galagatorgames1317]

Love the softer tone for the singing with this version. It somehow fits the character that Elsa is acting out

[@oceancrosby4578]

I cannot express enough just how much I love this version.

[@sophievaughan7507]

This was honestly breathtakingly beautiful and sad. Love it thank you 😊 xx

[@Jangotat01]

This doesn't sound like a villain just mournful. And this is beautiful.

[@LunaWitcherArt]

I like the high notes and how soft they are. Curiously, the minor key makes me hate this song less, like somehow the lyrics make more sense in a minor key.

[@raliloth4155]

Late to the party but holy... This just had me jaw dropped absolutely brilliant Actually waited years to be able to watch frozen in English the songs are just downright amazing

[@LydiatheBard]

Thank youuuuuuu

Awesome job!! You could hear the emotions that were portrayed here really well, and the singing is beautiful!!!

[@LydiatheBard]

Maddie!!! Thank you so so much!!!!

[@larryd5435]

Never saw Frozen 2, but after hearing this haunting rendition, played the original. . . And this is sooooo much better. Love this version.

[@astronerd4932]

This version of the song sounds more cold, there isnt loud pieces where the passion explodes and overflowed, it's more of a longing or cold expression of the need to know. I love it!

[@Ducklover2014-w1v]

I love this, because Disney always skips hard things that break princesses down but you are the things that was like no they have emotions to the mad that always angry. They can turn into a villain ever they want but no Disney princesses have to be the perfect little princess.

[@torytellstales]

I actually really really love this version! It has an Evanescense feel to it

[@Mii507]

2:22 I love when this "aaah" starts softly, it's beautiful

[@galaxyskies647]

I'm honestly so EXCITED and thumbnail makes me even more EXCITED

[@LydiatheBard]

Aaaaaaa me tooooo

[@-_Faith_-]

I love how y’all did this song with the AU in mind. The lyrics “don’t leave me alone” are much more sentimental if Anna had died.

The soft "aah" instead of belting it towards the end is absolute perfection. Edit: I'm referring to 2:22 btw

[@gothknight6]

Wow. This hit me in the feels.

the fact that the story you gave to the song is better than the whole frozen 2 plot... I seriously love your interpretation asdajsdh aND OMG THIS IS AN AMAZING COVER AAAA, MY EARS ARE BLESSED

[@Iforgotaboutrain]

I don't even hear this as a villain song, but more of a grief song. Her life has taken her to furthest adventure she could live, and has felt so much hurt from it, that she dares not to cross that line again.

[@bombdotcom2168]

This version gave me goosebumps. It made me almost want to cry as well. There's something about the way it's sung that gives it such a powerful emotion

[@andrewhensley29]

This was amazing! Your voice is gorgeous and you could feel the pain and sadness if Anna had died. Bravo!👏👏👏💙💙💙

[@LydiatheBard]

Thank you so much!!

[@Theothekyree]

I think 2:21 to 2:40 is my favorite part, the harmonizing is just so angelic

[@jokuch1988]

Only Disney can make a child song with the Dies Irae sound, the music of the deads. Love it 😁

[@MelusinaRose]

"Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls" - I like to imagine that she says this line while walking past old pictures of her parents, and a more recent one of her sister, all of them cast in shadow. Those pictures are all she has left, the only thing allowed to her in the middle of her self-imposed isolation. In this case, the Unknown could be the after life.

[@Wittyx]

Just came across this beautiful work of art. It tugged my heartstrings when it asked if Anna had died. My best friend of 15 years passed away back in 2019. We called each other Sisters. She was my Anna. She was 35. I'm still grieving her. Thank you for creating this song. It sings to my broken heart in the perfect key.

[@bigal9487]

THIS VERSION SOUNDS SO MUCH PLEASING TO MY EAR DAMN. I was like the original sounds off because its scary at first and then positive? I prefer it to contain one theme instead, because it matches withe the style of the rest of the song. Beautiful singing!

[@dylancole1910]

Wow, what a hauntingly beautiful voice you’ve got. Enjoyed this a lot.

[@emilythecrazedanimefan3664]

This version brings new meaning to "You're not a voice, you're just a ringing in my ear." I feel like if Elsa was in this state, she would hear the aria and just assume it was the ghosts of Anna and their parents, or even just their voices echoing in her head.

[@4SH3R._.IG.]

OH MY GOD! YOUR VOICE- IT'S LIKE A SIREN! You could TOTALLY kill with that voice girl! SLAY

[@kateblais--9396]

This truly chilling and haunting, well done *clap clap clap*

[@tissabff9364]

Absolutely beautiful high notes. So angelic! You voice sounds like awispy cloud (if that makes sense). I love the last part where the music builds and builds and then just drops. Took me off guard in a good way. Anyway, just beautiful!
