Part 2 of recommending Matthew listen to songs from Phantom of the Opera
Can you react to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron"? It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken. I cry every time i watch it! It's a INCREDIBLE film, and the songs are so cool! But it's not a musical and the animals can't talk. 😭💔🔥
You should watch the entire movie cause I feel like it would be really funny and clear some stuff up for you
"Through Heaven's Eyes" is actually a song from the middle
He missed "playing with the big boys now" 😭
Even if you're not religious you have to admit this movie and it's music is amazing. Playing with the big boys now and Let my people go are just amazing
It is a pretty great movie, although very tragic. I felt bad for both Moses and Ramses, both of their lives had to be destroyed.
Not in religion here, but damn religions movies are another level. Really love them and the message
My favorites are Deliver Us, Let my people go and Playing with The big boys now
That last "deliver us" at the end of the opening always gives me chills.
It's called "The Plagues", not "Let My People Go".
6:53 they explain later that pharaoh’s wife believes Moses was sent by the gods to her. There’s a line she sings that basically says when the gods send you a blessing, you don’t ask them why.
I mean...she was right, it was an act of God
Yup, not the one she thinks tho@@genericname2747
Wasn’t wrong lol. But instead of gods it was GOD
@@genericname2747which one? Cuz god is not a name !😐
@user-mk3zm6fe4s the Jews and Christians use the name God as it is because he is considered the one and only God. Although he does have other names, they are similar to a description of him or a nickname rather than his official title. I think in this movie it mentions it, but Moses asked God what name should he tell the Jews so they know he was being honest, and God says that he is "I Am That I Am." Tell them that "I Am" sent you. That title shows God's ever present nature. I believe that the other person was referring to the Jew's God.
Okay, but you NEED to listen to "Playing With The Big Boys" and "When You Believe" PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
Yes, we need it!
Yes please
FR WE NEED IT!
Preach
Fr. I listened to ‘Playing With The Big Boys’ obsessively as a kid. I thought he’d for sure get to it and was super excited. (Not that the rest of the video wasn’t good, ofc. It’s just my favorite song)
The words "I send the swarm, I send the hoard, so says the lord" are burned into my brain. Those are absolutely metal lyrics
there is at least 1 metal cover of this
Jonathan young and Caleb hyles made a metal/rock cover
"I send my scourge. I send my sword. Thus sayeth the Lord."
I was also gonna suggest the Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles version!
"Deliver Us" really is a very heavy song. The creators managed to find the perfect way to show the suffering and oppression that the Hebrews had to endure at the hands of the Egyptians. They WERE slaves who had to work every day without rest and under the threat of the whip, building temples and statues of fake gods. But the part with Moses' mother was what hit the hardest. She had to give up her right to be a mother to her child in order to protect him from the Pharaoh's decree to kill all baby boys, putting her faith in God, believing that He would protect Moses and deliver him to a place where he could be free. I have to say that Ofra Haza did an amazing job giving her singing voice to Moses' mother. And she did more than that! She gave her voice to 19 different dubs (17 different languages + 2 dialecs) and the way she managed to perfectly mimic each one... is outstanding! And I am saying that as a Portuguese who grew up with "The Prince of Egypt".
the tale is fucked, fortunally, it never really happened, hebrews were never egipcian slaves.
@@josephcroeniangamer3727Yes, we have historical records to show that it never happened and that the Biblical stories don’t line up with real archeological records
I also grew up with this movie in Finland, and ever since I learnt that fact about the voice actress who sang all those dubs, I'm even more amazed by it. It's definitely one of the most beautiful songs from any animated movie. Also, as a hobby artist and someone interested in animation, I really love this movie's distinctive art style!
@@josephcroeniangamer3727maybe not in the way that the torah describes, but we dont know whether or not it actually happened. Sure it could be fake, but it also COULD be real. Also, as it stands, its still a really powerful story that serves as a symbol of jews' persecution over the years, and of our perseverance. Its a really important story that should be forever preserved.
@@funwithakthechannelwherean4510 oh for sure, is some of the best, but no, the hebrew people were never in egipt, its a tale to stablish identity on the region they are by creating an origin diferent to the other tribes around, many old cultures do the same, various greek city states for example. Egipt had a social class that could be clasified as slave, but it wasnt the jews, it was just another egiptians.
Love how matthew knows about Moses in the river but if confused by the baby killing the reason Moses was in the river
Fun fact: the woman who played Moses' mother had such a beautiful voice she even sung in the other languages for the dubs
Yeah! She does the swedish dub
the late beloved Ofra Haza, a former Israeli representative in Eurovision
The late, great Ofra Haza, a Yemenite Jewish Israeli. Gone way too soon.
She was so beautiful too! I googled her and was like wow..
She sadly died at 42 from AIDS. Such a tragic loss.
Through Heaven's Eyes is in the middle of the movie. It's right after Moses has learned his "father" ordered the Hebrew babies to be murdered (overpopulation was his justification), being told "they were just slaves," learning he is Hebrew, too, and then accidentally killing a slaver who was beating a man. Moses has at this point left Egypt, and feels like his whole life has been a lie. Thus why he's saying at the beginning of the song he's done nothing worthy of honor Also, on the song itself, it always makes me cry. It's such a good positive message and I love it so much. So thanks very much for reacting to it. Made my morning ^_^
I thought they started killing the Hebrew first born sons because a prophet told the pharaoh one of them would overthrow his kingdom.
@@icemagiciangh3268It's been ages, but I wanna say that was Herod. In the Gospel of Matthew, King Herod found out the Jewish Messiah was born who was being called ''king of the Jews,'' a title Herod had used for around 30 years. Herod tried to have Jesus killed so there would not be challenges to Herod's authority.
Canonically there was no prophet involved, the pharaoh was just planning for the future and didn't want the Hebrews getting "uppity". @@icemagiciangh3268
@@icemagiciangh3268that's Jesus' story, not Moses' 😅
The reason why pharaoh ordered every new borne boy to be killed was because the population of the Jews was growing to large so he reduced the numbers in fear of rebellion and them fighting back due to having a larger population than the Egyptian population.(Note that it was only baby boys that were killed)
Now you know Mathew, The Prince of Egypt is known for two things. 1. Being one of the best retelling's of the 10 Commandments ever made. 2. It has some of the best songs in the history of DreamWorks animated films.
I’d say it was like the best PREQUEL to the 10 commandments. Because if we’re talking about the 10 commandments then we would have seen Moses throw the tablets on the ground and force his people to eat the false idol they(READ: Aaron) created
@@MatthewTeachout-xj4yy Meh, Details Details blah blah blah.
@@MatthewTeachout-xj4yy I kinda have a feeling that they meant 10 Plagues but idk you are completely right tho
3. It also humanized the characters, Moses especially, unlike most iterations and adaptations of the Exodus. The way he breaks down and cries after the final plague, as if he didn't want this to happen.
Hey it's you again sup, long time no see.
I can't describe the sound I made at "I forgot they were like slaves"
Laughter?
Ikr?! I laughed and also cringed so hard
Fun Fact! For the spanish dub in the Plagues song, my uncle did Ramses' singing voice for that song. Super cool😂
Lol, latin spanish or Iberic spanish?
@@freakda96 Latin Lol🇲🇽
@@mayragalvan4322 gosh, I love that version. My compliments to your Uncle
Compliments to your uncle! Haven't heard the dub but un sure he did amazing!
Please tell him he's awesome
all I can think about during the plagues song is like Moses: hey can I have you let my people go? Ramses: freedom machine broke Moses: understandable, have a nice plague.
Ramses: Fresh outta freedom. Sorry. Moses: guess you're outta first born sons then.
I was always so fearful of the firstborn part cuz I'm the firstborn of my siblings and they would always look at me at that part. 😂😂😂 The movie was my whole childhood though.
Moses: hey can I have you let my people go? Ramses: I guess? God: what? no... I wanna do the plagues thing... I'll harden your heart!! Ramses: freedom machine broke Moses: understandable, have a nice plague.
@@alicepbg2042he hardened his heart for he sinned long enough without regretting and living his life with God. So he emptied his bottle of chances and God was like saying "it's enough and over now". God does see the outcome of everyones life, so he knows if someone would never turn away from sin. Therefore he uses people to fulfil His good plan to at least save all people who are willing and longing to be with God who gives peace. For in this world there is no peace as we can see all around in this world, in our schools or in neighborhood. So many people are fighting with each other over the littlest things. And as we read in the bible, the Pharaos heart were not hardened right at the start of the plaques. God also foreshadowed his plan by hardening the Pharas heart when He gave Moses the job (because he knows all things, past, future, all decisions that a person chooses...)
@@fleischsalat318 no. god specifically hardens the pharaohs heart (many times) so he wouldn't let the people go. did you not pay attention to the bible? god is a dick.
Fun fact! The Prince of Egypt was made at the same time as Shrek!
Yea if I remember people wer punished by being sent to work on shrek instead of this movie lol
@@ElixerAlix Which is also what happened with Pocahontas and The Lion King, (Lion King being the punishment)
Yep, in fact Shrek was seen as the project that was probably gonna flop, being sent to work on Shrek was a kind of punishment among the animators
@@felixhenson9926 I believe they called it "getting shreked"
Are you Will Poulter’s cousin? By the way, this is probably the best animated movie ever.
I can't believe that you left out "When You Believe"! That is perhaps the heart of the entire movie! It is sang right after the Pharaoh finally lets the Hebrews go and it embodies their joy of finally getting their freedom.
PREACH!! 😊
"All I ever wanted" cut off right before one of the darkest parts of the movie that reveals to Moses how he came to be adopted in the first place and how truly effed up his adoptive family is and why he can't stay with them in his happy "I've got all I ever wanted" life. The conflict between the brothers is a lot more than just between bio and adoptive siblings. They were actually getting along really well until Moses's revelation
Heck, they were getting along really well right up until Moses asked for him to free the slaves.
the soundtrack version of the song unfortunately cuts out that part though and switches directly from the Moses singing part to the Queen mother part ...
The songs in order are 1. Deliver Us 2. All I Ever Wanted 3. Through Heavens Eyes 4. The Plagues
I wish he'd also listened to 'Playing with the Big Boys' as well.
the marriage was actually early on in the movie 😂
Right?!?! 😂
Yeah idk why he watched them out of order. I would have put them in order. It makes way more sense.
In the movie, song order for these songs is: Deliver Us => (Time skip, Moses grows up as a prince, suddenly realizes he's actually Hebrew and the previous Pharaoh murdered the children of his people) => All I've Ever Wanted => (Moses runs away and meets a wandering people) => Through Heaven's Eyes => (Burning bush; Moses returns and warns the Pharaoh) => The Plagues => (his people leave)
and then pretty sure deliver us again in the end.
@@alicepbg2042 The ending song is called When You Believe
@@DarkDreams948 ty.
@@alicepbg2042there is a tiny section of deliver us at the very very end when he's coming down from Mount Sinai
@@rachelh1720 ah... so that is why I was confused, I was pretty sure deliver us came back in the end
The mother’s voice in Deliver Us is Ofra Haza, a legendary Israeli singer. She’s truly incredible, and she repeated that role in so many languages (I think it was something like 19?). The first sentence she sings in the song is in Hebrew, and what she’s saying is “my good, gentle child, please don’t be afraid”.
israeli?? goddamnit
The songs from the Prince of Egypt are so good. The main issue I have with the movie is how they portray Aaron, Moses' brother
I agree!
What's wrong with the way they portrayed him? Sorry, I don't know much about Moses' family according to the bible, so I wanted to know...
@anasofiacamargoribeiro9670 Aaron is a big part of the story and he acts as Moses' mouthpiece because Moses has a hard time speaking. An example would be the walking stick turning into the snake is actually done by Aaron. If I remember correctly
I'll say I totally understand why they didn't add that stuff to the movie but Aaron in this is NOT the Aaron in the Exodus
I agree. Aaron was essential for Moses to rally the people and make them listen to him. After all, even if Moses was technically a Hebrew like them, he grew up surrounded by luxury and taking the fruits of the slaves' work. With Aaron's help, he managed to have the Hebrews to listen to him.
Dreamworks did not need to go this hard for their first movie but so glad they did
It was their second movie, after Antz (their movie to go against Disney's A Bug's Life)
Mathew: Oh my god, this is so dark! Me: *laughs in Biblical* But yeah, Dreamworks went HARD on this whole project. The visuals are gorgeous, could easily make any shot into framable wall art. Every song is a banger in its own way. But you should (re)watch the whole movie. It will put the songs into context and really flesh out the relationships and arcs between the characters.
This is single-handedly my favorite Dreamworks movie! The soundtrack is intense and perfect!
This and King of Dreams? Absolute bangers
AGREED
Highly recommend watching this movie again! It’s incredible.
Prince of Egypt is incredible. This was a movie that was an integral part of my childhood. I re-watch it regularly. If you're interested, there is a stage musical version with additional songs and some re-interpretations of the original movie that are absolutely worth listening to. This is one of Dreamworks best movies. Also yes, in the opening they are killing babies. In the story, Pharaoh begins to fear the growing Israelite population and commands the death of the firstborn male children Speaking as a Jewish person, this is one of the few adaptations of a bible story that is not created with a slant towards Christianity. Many adaptations of Old Testament stories still use Christian symbology in their representation of the stories. Also, this movie had a BANGING cast voicing it. Val Kilmer plays Moses and the Voice of God, Steve Martin and Martin Sheen play Hotep and Huy (the Egyptian High Priests), Sandra Bullock plays Miriam, Ralph Fiennes plays Ramses, Michelle Pfeifer plays Zipporah (Moses' wife), Patrick Stewart plays the first Pharaoh. Just an incredible movie. All the songs are bangers, everyone gave 100%
Out of sheer curiosity, what elements stand out as not slanted? It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Heston version. I think at large we just parallel moses to christ over on our end. But yeah this has always been up there in my favorite movies
@@simondeep One of the big things is that Moses isn't a savior or messiah figure in Jewish tradition. Depending on who you talk to, Moses is a largely "unwilling" prophet (for lack of a better word). Additionally, most biblical imagery and allusion in text for Jews is meant to allude/foreshadow King David, who is also not a savior or messiah figure. My general observation is that all of the prophets or "favored" individuals in Jewish tradition are distinctly "human". To use Moses as an example, he has a short temper that frequently gets him into trouble. One of the big things to realize is that many Western countries have an implicitly Christian slant when it comes to imagery and storytelling due to how widespread and strong Christianity is in general. There are fundamental misunderstandings of the differences in how various monotheistic religions view their own mythology. Ex. My own beliefs aside, you do not need to believe in God to be Jewish or be spiritual in a Jewish way. As a separate example, most Jews also don't believe in heaven or hell. For those who will read this comment later on, I have been a Reform Jew my entire life. Raised by a rabbi and Jewish historian, and have been active in my synagogue and multiple Jewish programs my entire life. I invite anyone who wants to, to explore and do their own research into these subjects.
@@avalon1007 Thanks for the explanation! Makes sense. Val Kilmer's Moses seemed to have his own set of failings. Not to list it all but there is that sense of negligence and deniability--which is why Goldblum's Aaron called him out. Maybe you'd caught something else and can put it more eloquently. And yeah, like what you said, as far as Christianity goes, we typically review the old testament either in light of Christ's teachings or connecting to him to people who prefigured his coming. Media at large kind of gets that imagery overflow, depending on how religious that culture is or was. For disclosure, Catholic here, and armchair historian at best for church stuff, so my biases and understandings won't quite match other branches. Thanks again
I'm an atheist and this movie is one of my favourites it transcends religion at this point it's so good
I'm surprised you did Prince of Egypt and didn't do Miracles, the big song from the movie. fun to see this! this movie is so pretty, and I love the music
He’ll probably do a part two
You HAVE to listen to the Jonathan Young version of the Prince of Egypt, and also Hellfire from The Hunchback Of Notre Dame!
Hell yea!
Might I suggest specifically JoYo and Caleb's, Playing with the Big Boys? Which, I think, is a better portrayal than in the movie where JoYo and Caleb make the high priests sing as if there were WWE showman performing to the man-child Pharaoh.
YESSS
Giving Ofra Hazas' voice the respect it deserves ❤
Hey Mathew! Have you ever watched Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron? Huge recommend if not! Absolutely incredible soundtrack!
My favorite movie as a kid! Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams absolutely did not need to go that hard on the sound track but it's just sooo good
As someone who watched this movie religiously (no pun intended) as a child, I’m so happy when others encounter it (or revisit it without remembering much, in this case). ‘Playing With The Big Boys’ remains one of my top animated villain songs to this day.
YOU NEED A PART 2 TO THIS.
YESSS OMG THE PRINCE OF EGYPT WAS MY CHILDHOOD AND EVEN THO IM NOT AS RELIGIOUS I STILL ADORE THE SONGS
I love the message in "Heaven's Eyes" because it's so true that you can't see your value if you're just judging by the standards of society. According to society the President, or that Billionaire, or that Famous Actor all hold more value than you do. So people desperately chase after such titles and judge themseleves when they fall short, but that's not actually how it works. You touch people's lives everyday. If you think about the people in your life who you remember, it's not someone with money or status that made you happy. It's your friends, your family, some teachers, that old lady that called out to you when you walked home from school, that coach who gave you that one peice of advice. Your dog who greets you with love. The coworker who gave you a free brownie. Kind words, kind actions, being included, being listened to, these are the things that matter, these are the things that have real value. These are the things you look back on when you're on your deathbed reliving your life. And these are the things that matter to others. So when you feel not a person cares, feel that not a person would notice if you're gone. You need to pause and realize you're looking at your life through a narrow perspective. And there's a kid you pass on the street and nod to everyday who would be devestated to lose that kind stranger who makes them feel worth something.
What a beautiful comment. ❤
this movie literally gives me chills every time i watch/listen to it
OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE WAS MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD IM SO EXCITED YOU'RE REACTING TO THE SOUNDTRACK IT'S BEAUTIFUL
"Bible Spoiler Warning" XD
LOL
The mom's (Yocheved) "cool sounding voice" belongs to Ofra Haza, she was an increadible increadible singer ❤
I thought this was an old vid and I was just catching up, but then I saw the timer actually move - I've never been this early to a video. My love for the Prince of Egypt must have brought me here. Deliver Us has always been one of my favourite songs since I saw this as a kid. The movie was so devastating but also so beautiful.
THEY CUT ALL I EVER WANTED SHORT!!! YOU NEED TO WATCH THE WHOLE SONG 😭😭😭
I can't believe you missed the drop at the end of "deliver us" it really sets the gravity of what's going on
HECK YES ITS SUCH A GOOD MUSICAL!
There is a real live Musical made off of this movie, beeing performed in London. They added a few new songs and they are hauntingly beautiful, even if obviously not as nostalgic as the originals ❤
I hope he listens to those, they're so good - or even the musical versions of the movie songs
"Deliver us" will always give me this huge goosebumps. What a masterpiece. Truly ethereal
Fun fact the singer for Moses mother sung her part in seven different languages!
Wow impressive. She is so talented for knowing all these languages as well
It's a tradition in my family to watch The Prince of Egypt every Passover. What a beautiful film.
Haha same ❤
There's a beautiful haggadah that they published right after the movie came out. It's a hardcover book, about the size of a typical children's book. The pages are all stills from the film, gorgeous. I think it's out of print, but you may be able to find one online.
Matthew, did you even listen to any music at all when you were younger? I’m starting to think you actually lived under a rock
I get you're probably saying this jokingly, but he literally says in the video that he has watched this movie before, it was just when he was so young that he doesn't remember it now.
WHAT IS HAPPENING THESE PAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE FANDOMS OMG
The Voctave medley of the Prince of Egypt songs is EXCEPTIONAL
"towards the end" literally the beginning of act 2
You need to check out Brian Stokes Mitchell singing "Through Heaven's Eyes" live. The joy he exudes is palpable, you'll be smiling the whole time 😊
I cannot believe you are reacting to songs of my two favourite movies BACK TO BACK. What a treat. Please react to the whole movie, it’s amazing
Man, ya missing out on When You Believe. What a beautiful melody that comes after all the intensity of the plagues and what not.
"Okay, well that was just gorgeous" yes, this was always a bop, my favorite animation since i was a baby!!
The actor who voices the older shepherd/father, Brian Stokes Mitchell, has done a ton of theater work, mostly musicals, and has won almost every major theater award. His voice is truly amazing
i do love how excited you get for these listens but man you really really need to rewatch the films to have the full impact hit you, not to mention, have them in order so you don't get so confused.
I love the music in this movie!! This was dreamworks really strong emotional music numbers era. My favourite is Spirit: stallion of the cimmaron - never fails to make me cry
Spirit is the best!
I'm SO GLAD you reacted to Through Heaven's Eyes which is my favorite song from this movie (with Deliver Us coming in second so yay) but you skipped over one of the most powerful lines in the whole song. Of course the main message is heart wrenching BUT "When all you have is nothing, there's a lot to go around" just HITS me every single time. So moving.
i'm jewish, and this movie was such a major part of my childhood! i grew up with this movie, and still love it to this day. they actually have a musical for "the prince of egypt" and the cast is phenomenal! there is also a plan for an actual live - action remake in 2026.
YES I LOVE PRINCE OF EGYPT
You mixed the order of the songs up and you forgot: "There can miracles"
I also love them incorporating Hebrew in this. I talked to a professor who teaches it and he helped me me learn to say/sing the Hebrew words as well. 1:40
The 3rd song isn’t near the end but in the beginning and middle part of the movie. Basically, after the last song you heard. I really wanna watch the musical one day. It’s so powerful and I love the playlist DreamWorks did an amazing job.❤
the songs you listened too show up in this order: 1 deliver us 2 All I ever wanted 3 heaven's eyes
The VA, Ofra Haza, of the mother also sang all the mother versions in the time. like 17. She did a great job in the portuguese version. You should react to that. Im not religious but this is one of my fav movie and i see it at least 1 time a year
Fun fact on the song the Plague. It's a dis track from God towards the Egyptian gods. Each plague represents what an Egyptian god can prevent. Famine, pest, deseases and finally Ra, the sun is blocked out
Fun fact the choir in the songs is the LDS Tabernacle Choir.
The Songs are amazing! It would be cool for you to also react to the last song "When You Believe" which is a masterpiece and probably the most famous of these songs!
I got recommended a video of you a few days ago and now I'm totally invested. Your reactions and commentary are so fun to listen to, I just love them!!! It would be nice if you could do a video on Anastasia, one of my childhood favorites :D
Awww he did react to Ananastia later And btw I agree he is like a friend that I would love to watch all of my fav movies and animations with
“I have nothing I can give but this chance that you may live” is such a CRUSHING line like it’s such a horrifying situation
There's also a stage musical of this that has even more songs and incredible choreography
Can you react to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron"? It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken. I cry every time I watch it! It's a INCREDIBLE film, and the songs are so cool! But it's not a musical and the animals can't talk. 😭💔🔥
This movie is by far one of my favorites. Easily top five movies. I used to watch it with my dad all the time as a kid, and while I’m not terribly religious anymore, it still is such a good story. Playing With the Big Boys should be in the next vid. Most likely would be seeing as there’s only a three or four songs left but, you know.
These are all of my favorite songs from the movie. It's so good! You need to watch the movie again.
Seeing The Plagues on the big screen was astounding
Yes I've been waiting for this!!! Also, was wondering if you were going to do more barbie reactions? Really think you'd like the Island Princess if you knew the context haha :)
Anyone else think Mat should listen to "Anastasia"?
The Prince of Egypt is one of my favorite movies (like you, I saw it as a kid and it didn't leave much of an impression, then I watched it as an adult and it blew my mind) and I'm only just now noticing the double meaning of "trappings" in "All I Ever Wanted".
The fact that “There Can Be Miracles” wasn’t included in this list is criminal.
The "look at life through heaven's eyes" song is in the middle of the movie, when Moses first met some jews and basically when he converted to the jews (something like that) the song at the end of the movie is a masterpiece, would recommend listening to it, or just watch the whole movie
Didn't judaism start with Moses? I don't know enough about the details but I believe they were just monotheist and pious, and the chief was also a prophet.
@@Megaspinosaurusrex Judaism started with Abraham. He entered into a covenant with God and from then on he and all his descendants and people are Jews. That covenant was sort of confirmed and codified much later when Moses was given the 10 commandments. I think you're right that his wife's people are not Jews but just monotheistic. They're called Midians and I don't remember if their exact beliefs are ever discussed although they do seem to believe in God. Jethro, his father-in-law, is a prophet of his people.
@@Megaspinosaurusrex technically we were called hebrews, or sons of israel (bnei yisrael) and we were tribes of descendants of Abraham and monotheism. We're only called jews now because vast majority of us are descendants of judah son of jacob/israel. The covenant from God was under Moses and his brother though
You have to do Joseph King of Dreams next. Lol
13:30 this is actually around the middle! It takes places before The Plagues does! It’s basically the change-of-heart song for Moses :))
Fun Fact: Ofra Haza (Moses's mother) sang her part of Deliver Us in 19 different languages.
This movie is the best!
Can you do more songs from Mean Girls please?❤❤
“Through Heaven’s Eyes” and “Chariot Race” were two songs I ice skated to. To this day, “Heaven’s Eyes” still makes cry, because it’s so optimistic and uplifting
through heavens eyes is closer to the middle of the movie, like, pre mid - all great bops
First
Ofra Haza is the singer who does the voice for Moses's mother. She sang this song in about 20 different languages. She is widely considered one of the best vocalists of her time
I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY YOUR REACTING TO THIS ❤❤
I legit cannot even get to the first lines of the opening without tears. This is legit one of the most underrated movies when it comes to score and music.
Apparently the scene in the movie with the parting of the Red Sea was illustrated/animated by hand and took over two years to complete.
I was just starting to listen to these songs again and you post the video just in time You even picked all the songs I wanna hear in THE EXACT ORDER i was thinking too
You were listening to the songs out of order. Delivery Us/Lullaby (opening sequence-Moses sent down river & adopted by Pharoah and his wife) All I Ever Wanted (he's just been told about his true origins & is in denial) Heaven's Eyes (he's runaway from Egypt into the desert & "adopted" by the Midians) The Plagues (God/burning bush has given him the mission to get Ramses to let the Hebrew slaves go)
YES!!!!! I have wanted you to listen to this music for so long!!! Its soooooo good, the music always gives me tingles, thanks so much for listening to it!!!
My favorite part of this movie is that Ramesses is voiced by Voldemort and Moses is voiced by Mad Martigan who also plays Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors!!! This move has an amazing, star studded cast! Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Brian Stokes Mitchel, Patrick Stewart, Hellen Mirren, Martin Short, and Steve Martin!!
I loved this movie growing up!! It’s so amazing I still love it but I can’t find anywhere to watch it. Thank you for listening to this movie ♥️😁
HOW DID YOU NOT DO "WHEN YOU BELIEVE"??? IT'S ICONIC
Stephen Schwartz, the lyricist and composer for this film, also wrote the lyrics to Hunchback of Notre Dame. Also, I second all the comments saying you need to listen to "When you believe."
