The Singing Authors (Finals) Entry
I see the light by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi (Tangled Official Soundtrack)
Up 'til now, I still can't believe that I have to submit another entry for @Jdine s competition. But then here I am because of the people who supported my entry ♥ I am very much eternally grateful for your support guys!
For the finals, I decided to sing I see the light from tangled. This is for the reason that I really reaaally love Rapunzel. And Disney's animation made me fall in love with her story more. Partly because I've always wanted magic hair like her (lol) and that Mandy Moore being the voice actress of Rapunzel made it a thousand times better.
I mean— when I watched Tangled, I felt like Mandy Moore wasn't giving Rapunzel her voice because it was more like Rapunzel was giving Mandy Moore her voice (if that makes sense) which is just awesome because it means Mandy is a very EFFECTIVE voice actress.
Her voice is almost surreal. And I love her for it.
I know— I'm once again singing another song of Mandy. Well, you can't blame me hahaha I'm really into her voice.
I remember replying to @Jdine that I will not be using effects on my entry anymore but there were last minute change of minds.
To elaborate, I recorded this song right after I knew I got to the finals. Then I was pretty convinced this was gonna be my entry, and then “me thinking about doing an acapella again” happened. When I was about to record it the next day, I catched a cold and got really congested (huhu) so when I started recording, I sounded really unpleasant. So yeah, I didn't really have a choice anymore but submit this one.
Anyways, what I really love about this song (besides that Mandy sang this) is that it speaks about the exact moment your dreams come true.
“And at last I see the light”
Rapunzel really went to a whole lot of struggles before she escaped the tower to see the lanterns on her birthday. She's waited many years indoors holding onto a lie that mother Gothel told her.
It really reminds of my past struggles to reach the top. There were moment I always thought that I would never make it, until the moment comes and I even surprise myself of what I am able to do.
The point is, if you really set your mind to it, you can make magic. You can make the impossible happen. The key is just having faith and giving your all to everything.
Here it is (It's a bit better if you watch it with earphones guys hehe)
[ Thank you very much for giving me a chance to even submit an entry for this finals. Even if I don't win, I still feel like a winner for the reason that I've finally concurred my fear of singing to an audience! ( although this is still virtual but the thought of other people hearing me sing always terrified me ) It is indeed another achievement of mine that I'm so proud of! hehe. I hope I can get to achieve more in the future as well as you guys! I wish you success and the happiness you want because you deserve it— no, you guys actually deserve magic! Thank you again, beautiful beings! ♥ ]
