La La Land - Audition (Fools Who Dream) - Lyrics

[@tanabach6994]

Hi everyone! I know the lyrics aren't correct-- I made this video before official lyrics came out so everything was by ear. I corrected it using KZbin annotations, but they're not available on mobile. I tried as best I could and I would like everyone to know you have spoken and I have listened. If you watch on your laptop or desktop the correct lyrics should be there. Thanks :)

[@sajreth2]

Tana Bach sorry saw your pinned post after I wrote my comment.

[@jamesgraham4427]

What makes this even better is that this isn't a studio recording, Emma Stone performed this live on set.

[@jacobwheeler1348]

@nasser wiz Well, he's partly right. The scene in the movie was played in front of a live audience.

[@jacobwheeler1348]

@nasser wiz Yes. I also know that it was confirmed by the director that that scene was performed live.

[@mikaylagreen6185]

I was in shock at the end and I could not even cry but after an hour the tears just started coming out and I was bawling, yet the ending somehow made the story seem realistic, like you can't have everything when u try to achieve ur dreams

Was it just me or was this the total high point of the film? I felt like this scene and the emotions it evoked were the pinnacle of La La Land.

[@jameskerr936]

correct

[@vanellycarrasco1536]

Yes. The entire film is based off this performance. The emotion, lyrics, and setting of the entire film connects to this scene.

just saw this movie and this song was exactly what I needed to hear in my life right now. I am one of those fools who dream and I had just about given up on them completely but this movie reminded me why I love my dreams and why I want to see them made reality. This song reminded me of my life in so many ways and it has really helped me.

[@alejandroaguilar9223]

My little brother and his girlfriend watched this movie and we’re endlessly obsessed with this soundtrack. Almost 10months later she took her own life. This all happened in 2017. Haven’t heard this song since then nor has he and this reminds me of how happy my little brother use to be back then with her. He’s changed now and hasn’t seen the movie since she was alive. This song piereces me to my very soul.

[@nahouledeb5949]

ezikillz I don’t have words to express my feeling about you’re story. Two of my friends (who was in a relation) make a suicide the last summer during our vacation. They was together since 3 year and was best friends before that. I loose two friends in one summer. I’ m French and my English is bad but I want to say I understand this pain. Be strong, you and your brother.

Of course it should be Seine. Unless she got cold from jumping into a sand :)

Except “Seine” doesn’t mean river in French it’s “rivière” the Seine is the river that crosses into Paris and splits it in half.

[@andnowyouknow3363]

How time passes. I used to listen to this back in 2016 and 2017. The lines where she mentioned those who dream and those who suffer from heartache is what hit me the most. This is because I was suffering from loneliness and heartache caused from a break-up. It has been many years since I last listened to this song. I'm glad to say that I'm living a much better life with a wonderful person at my side. Although I got over my heartache and am living a better life, it's good to be back to this song and reflect on how things were.

[@dylansullivan380]

Lyrics: [Verse 1: Mia, sung]
Leapt, without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again

[Chorus 1]
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make

[Verse 2]
She captured a feeling
Sky with no ceiling
The sunset inside a frame

She lived in her liquor
And died with a flicker
I'll always remember the flame

[Chorus 1]
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make

[Bridge]
She told me:
"A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us?
And that's why they need us"

So bring on the rebels
The ripples from pebbles
The painters, and poets, and plays

[Chorus 2]
And here's to the fools who dream
Crazy as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that break
Here's to the mess we make

[Outro]
I trace it all back to then
Her, and the snow, and the Seine
Smiling through it
She said she'd do it again

Sometimes I say to myself, "Nobody writes truly great song lyrics anymore." And I think on the whole, there's truth to that. But then I play this. Just to remind myself there's a lie to it as well.
