    No seriously, the grin on her face when she realises that the ocean does call her. It's that sly 'yeah, I'm worthy' smile. it's just fantastic.

    That line, “I will carry you here in my heart to remind me that come what may, I’ll know the way” gets me every time. I’m embroidering it to frame and hang next to pictures of my brother and sister, both of whom died well before their time (10 and 26). They were, and are, my strength.

      I know the pain, not from siblings, but within these past ten years alone I've lost both parents, three grandparents, and a very close friend. And I remember them fondly whenever I'm happy or sad. Yes I may cry, but I know they would be there cheering me on or trying to comfort me.
      It's horrible to lose family, especially so young, and grieving is never easy, but they are always with you, living forget in your heart, and know like my parents, grandparents, and friends that have passed...your siblings are with you everyday, loving and cheering you on. And I am to.

      @nevanthi Před rokem

      Do you know the bit they sing at the end after she sings “I am Moana”? The chant-like verse they sing at the end? What are the lyrics and what do they mean? I am absolutely in love with this music and although I don’t speak it I firmly believe the only way to honour a song like this is to learn it in its original language. I’ve already learned Logo Te Pate and We Know The Way by heart and would be so grateful if you would be able to enlighten me. PS: your language is beautiful! ♥️♥️

    Lyrics
    I know a girl from an island
    She stands apart from the crowd
    She loves the sea and her people
    She makes her whole family proud
    Sometimes the world seems against you
    The journey may leave a scar
    But scars can heal and reveal just
    Where you are
    The people you love will change you
    The things you have learned will guide you
    And nothing on Earth can silence
    The quiet voice still inside you
    And when that voice starts to whisper
    "Moana, you've come so far"
    Moana, listen
    Do you know who you are?
    Who am I?
    I'm a girl who loves my island
    And the girl who loves the sea
    It calls me
    I am the daughter of the village chief
    We are descended from voyagers
    Who found their way across the world
    They call me
    I've delivered us to where we are
    I have journeyed farther
    I am everything I've learned and more
    Still, it calls me
    And the call isn't out there at all, it's inside me
    It's like the tide
    Always falling and rising
    I will carry you here in my heart, you'll remind me
    That come what may
    I know the way
    I am Moana

Be proud of who you are, and what you are. You are created for a purpose and destined to be a warrior and to conquer the world. These songs fits to all young women and little girls around the world.

    this song touches me soooo much like this movie means sooo much to me not only because of the cultural aspect but because of the story too. i related soooo much to moana and still feel the struggle some times and i'm just reminded of moana's journey. and music is such a powerful form of art that invokes strong emotion, and i really enjoyed this version of the song. i'm not a pacific islander but i'm indigenous too and i really appreciate this and i love seeing this kind of representation. it means the world to me, and i hope we get to see more of it.

    the music of moana is one of my favourite soundtracks of all time. i cannot listen to this song without crying, it reminds me of my nana and how she and i spoken when i was a child, she died of bowel cancer when i was 6 years old and I had already been through things that no child/person should go through in those first 6 years and she had helped me and then she died and 24 years later i still can't think about her without crying. i miss her so much that it hurts and i feel as if she is talking to me through moana's grandmother. many thanks to the singers and performers of the original cast and of these amazing performers, love to you all from Liverpool, England

    An absolutely beautifully written and "harmonized" song!!... This song means everything! It stands alone, as one of the most touching & meaningful friendship songs between people! Moana and her grandma! It's just so endearing, the way she always encourages her to follow her heart, to do what she's being called to do, by the inner voice calling inside of her!.. A good reminder to never give up on our dreams! Allowing ourselves to be ("encouraged"), to "Find Our True Strength" and "True Inner Voice" inside of us, "no matter" how "hard" it may seem, to always follow it right to the place we need to be⛵🌊🏄‍♂🏄‍♀🌺🧭🗺🌠⛵🌺...

    I love how after a whole movie's worth of How Far I'll Go reprises, you realize all along the musical phrase wasn't quite complete. It was always the backing instruments that resolved the melody. It was always missing that final line, which she finally sings at the peak of this song - *I am Moana!* Ughhhhh so many chills.

Every time the line “I will carry you here in my heart to remind me that come what may, I’ll know the way” played, I’d sing it to her. Despite my wretched voice, she’d just smile at me her through her ventilator mask. She’s been gone 2 years and it’s so hard to believe it.
