That’s where Idina starts to hit all those epic high notes-which she admitted was “cocky” in an interview (below), but who cares!? Ambitious or not, you love to hear it. It sounds a little bit like when you yodel into a cave and hear an echo. In between each verse and the bridge, Elsa and this mysterious voice duet back and forth with some “ah ah oh oh”s. The end of the song is just like a million more questions, because Elsa is succumbing to her own insecurity and demanding answers. Just being accepted by the people of Arendelle isn’t enough-she still has so much to learn about her magic and nobody she can talk to about it who really understands. Say it with me, y’all: She’s lonely! It’s so clear that Elsa wants to go and find this person calling to her. Who knows deep down I’m not where I’m meant to be?Įvery day’s a little harder as I feel my power growĭon’t you know there’s part of me that longs to go… Or are you someone out there who’s a little bit like me? What do you want? ’Cause you’ve been keeping me awakeĪre you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?

Since Elsa is the only one who can hear this voice, she assumes it must be somewhat of a kindred spirit. “I’ve had my adventure,” Elsa sings, seemingly unaware that she’s starring in a sequel to that first adventure. I’m afraid of what I’m risking if I follow you I’ve had my adventure, I don’t need something new I’m sorry, secret siren, but I’m blocking out your calls Everyone I’ve ever loved is here within these walls Spoken for? By whomst? Her sister, Anna, it seems like. Isn’t that what “Let It Go” was all about? Yet still, she’s in denial about the voice she keeps hearing. You’d think that by now, Elsa would stop trying to repress and ignore her feelings. There’s a thousand reasons I should go about my dayĪnd ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away But when our angsty heroine gets woken up by the voice again, she sings this song as she’s trying to figure out what to do about it: I can hear you, but I won’t I won’t spoil who/what the voice ends up being, it’s actually weirdly complicated. Definitely a bad sign, even for someone with magical powers.

Elsa is trying to be a good queen but keeps hearing a voice singing that nobody else can hear. Fjellheim described how everyone was happy with the result.Back to Frozen 2, here’s a little context for “Into the Unknown.” At the beginning of the movie. Senior VP Tom MacDougall from Disney and Christophe Beck went to Trondheim to ensure that they got what they wanted. 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 Ah-ah, oh-oh (oh) Ah-ah, oh-oh You're not a voice You're just a 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. The recording was done in Trondheim, Norway. In the end, the Disney version was developed by keeping all of the original yoik-inspired parts, and also most of the original arrangement. Recording historyįjellheim worked alongside Christophe Beck to compose a new version of the original "Eatnamen Vuelie". A yoik is both a type of Sámi song, and a unique vocal style used to perform this (often referred to as “chanting”). Vuelie is the South Sámi word for "yoik”. Īccording to Fjellheim, the syllables of the song have no linguistic meaning, being part of the vocal style. Disney asked for the removal of this part. In English speaking countries the same folk tune is known as “Fairest Lord Jesus”.

That hymn was called Deilig er jorden – meaning “wonderful is the Earth”. The original piece was a mix between a yoik-inspired melody and a hymn floating on top of that.
#WORDS TO FROZEN SONG FULL#
The song's full name is derived from Fjellheim's original "Eatnamen Vuelie".

The track plays during the film's opening sequence, beginning with the appearance of the Walt Disney Animation Studios logo, continuing during a sequence of snowflakes, and ending with the appearance of the title card. " Vuelie" is the opening musical number to Frozen written by Norwegian musician Frode Fjellheim and composed by Canadian score composer, Christophe Beck, with additional vocals by the Norwegian female choir Cantus.
