I barely looked at the lyrics I've had the lyrics for this song memorized since I was 7. I grew up watching the 1997 Fox animated Anastasia, it's always been one of my favorite, though I used to get so scared when in the dark night came on. I'm probably gonna use this as a song for the audition for the high school play my school is doing, we are doing Matilda.

[@charlierachel8632]

IM USING THIS FOR MY MUSICAL AUDITION TOO!!! i too have loved the movie and songs since i was little, and ive had it memorized for about a decade now. Its gonna be so fun to use it ad my audition piece!

[@CL-je6sv]

How did it go?

[@Zoey5374]

@@CL-je6sv I ended up doing a different song but regretted it because my nerves got to me so I could remember the pitch and barely remembered the words for one of the songs I did(Eagle when she flies), the other song I did, Quiet, turned out half decently but was still far from my best because of nerves. For the monologue I did Queen Lucy from Charlie Brown, by the time I did the monologue my nerves calmed enough that I think I did fairly well. Overall never got to know if I would've gotten a role since the musical was canceled because covid measures would prevent enough people from coming that the school would lose a lot of money. Though I still have another couple years of high school so I might be able to try out the for the next musical

@@Zoey5374 That blows. Hopefully you'll get a chance to be in a musical!

This song is perfect for an Alto range, I'm so happy I found this version, I'm using it for my audition for my schools talent show!

[@valerieregina444]

@@EmiSoler this song is actually perfect for an alto voice! the typical vocal range of an alto singer is G3-D5 and anya's range in this song is B3-C#5, so while it is towards the upper end, singing it down the octave is completely unnecessary. if you're going to discourage someone from using a song they like, at least fact check yourself before doing so :).

[@noteshira8011]

@@valerieregina444 I have some questions about my vocal range. I feel like I'm a soprano, but I'm able to hit somewhat low notes. Could you please tell me what that means? I'm either thinking I'm a soprano that can hit somewhat low notes, or I'm just a tenor

Как узор на окне Снова прошлое рядом, Кто-то пел песню мне В зимний вечер когда-то. Словно в прошлом ожило Чьих-то бережных рук тепло, Вальс изысканных гостей И бег лихих коней. Вальс кружил и нёс меня, Словно в сказку свою маня, Первый бал и первый вальс Звучат во мне сейчас. Зеркала в янтаря Мой восторг отражают, Кто-то пел на заре Дом родной покидая. Будешь ты в декабре Вновь со мной дорогая….
