FROZEN Songwriters Talk/Perform "Into The Unknown"

[@RexPhalange]

When I watched the film, the songs never felt like they are trying to be or beat "Let It Go". And I like that. I like that the songwriters weren't trying to either.

[@crystalclown96]

...well, except for the fact Show Yourself not only has some of the same lyrics, but also has almost the same exact sound/feel to the instrumental during the chorus. Also how Idina sings it almost the same lol

[@joelmiller3218]

@@crystalclown96 yes, show yourself and let it go are very similar and they're both great!

[@POPDATA]

let it go might be the catchiest song on Frozen but definitely not the best

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

Same. Into The Unknown is entirely different than Let It Go. In some ways better, I think. These songwriters are truly gifted. I hope Into the Unknown wins a grammy or Show Yourself, which are IMO the best songs in the movie.,

[@cm_0011]

CrystalClown96 But they have very different messages. Let it Go is basically a “I don’t care i’m gonna do whatever i want and no one can stop me” and Show Yourself is “I finally found myself and am happy with who I am and have a sense of identity”

[@jaysantos1673]

these composers are the true heroes of our childhood. they make songs that we can sing forever

[@sketchios5158]

Its amazing how it sounds so similar to the "do you want to build a snowman" piano melody! They are really awesome at their craft!

[@gif_matte_hue8675]

omg i thought i was the only one who realized it, especially on that intro part it's also that part when little anna was about to knock little elsa's door and ask if she wants to build a snowman with her. hehe

[@therealdisneymagic]

THANK YOU!! SOMEBODY ELSE RELIZES ALSO!! I hear the piano melody and immediately think *knock knock knockknock knock* but in place of “Elsa?” It’s the Siren calling

[@d3jan193]

Yeah because it’s an arpeggio of the same chord

[@ShaneyHwang]

yes i noticed too!! but it was beautifully integrated into the song

[@kadinaja]

YES! THANK YOU! was like, did seriously NOBODY relize it starts the same way?

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

I read that Let it Go was supposed to be an evil song where Elsa enjoys herself about having powers, the composers found out that song was so deep and powerful and a great message from someone who was trapped and finally is free.. and changed all the original concept of Frozen..Elsa wasn't the villain anymore

[@EricAriel5]

Yep,the writers had trouble with the original script with Elsa originally being a villain but once they decided to make her a scared,misunderstood character things fell into place with everything.

[@tedphua8348]

this actually makes sense why the Hans is the villain plot twist felt a little out of place as compared to how he was genuinely liking anna before like when he got knocked into the water and actually smiled after anna left in a smitten manner

[@yanpmmarques]

I think the story was initially based on “The Snow Queen”. But they thought it could be more relatable to the kids if Elsa and Anna could be siblings and not enemies.

[@verskarton]

@@yanpmmarques "But they thought it could be more PROFITABLE if Elsa and Anna could be siblings and TWO PRINCESSES IN STEAD OF ONE." (sorry don't know how to highlight text in the comments.

[@yanpmmarques]

Verskarton I agree!

[@fcweng]

Preferred "Show Yourself" as the equivalent candidate as "Let it go", because "Show Yourself" has the elements of Hope, Love, Courage, Mystic, Power as "Let it go" has.

[@simplyangeline1]

Am I the only one where show yourself sounds like speechless from Aladdin

[@erineclair]

It always make me cry. It's got it's own power like Let It Go but on its own

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

Yes, the sixth really gives it that mysterious, haunting feeling that it needs..

[@ewcho8995]

I like how they never really answer the question. They just say everything else related to it. The truth is that they hear the story and start inventing different tunes that match it until they find something good.

[@IsabelleAmelia]

Perhaps their genius is impossible to put into words, it’s hard to articulate things like that, you have to have a unique brain, they are just wonderful!

[@arielvidriales]

As an artist I'm often asked how I come up with things. The answer is I simply do! The creativity triggers in my brain like a rush of adrenaline whenever I see, imagine or feel something that makes me say "THIS IS IT, THIS is what I was trying to do". You never do these things on purpose, you just follow the voice within

[@CZonOfficial]

Ariel RV and even sometimes you are creating and recreating but you make a little mistake that makes more sense on what your goal is and represents better the idea you’ve got in your mind and everything changes from there. Idk, the process of doing art is amazing

[@dianfadhilla4555]

it is really amazing how ‘into the unknown’ does sound so mysterious yet beautiful, like it is really tell that the voice that called Elsa is something out there but we know it is not dangerous these chords and melodies are insane. they definitely know what they’re doing. well done.

[@bieber89430]

Well, the music gods must've heard my thoughts, because a day later, I started not being able to get these new songs out of my head!
