Catch me on any random day puttering around the house and Iāll likely be singing āHow Far Iāll Goā from Moana. And Iāve done it since I first watched the movie six years ago. It makes me feel unstoppable.
Thereās not a single song on this soundtrack that disappoints (I mean, Lin-Manuel Miranda). This movie never fails to give me chills, whether itās the tentative first notes in āHow Far Iāll Go,ā Moanaās piercing last line in āI Am Moana,ā or the hushed, levitating hum behind her monologue in āKnow Who You Are.ā An unforgettable scene.
Even if youāre still humming Moana lyrics on the daily, I bet you havenāt seen it under the open summer sky. This Friday night, Moana will screen for U Districtās Summer Movies By the Bay at Fritz Hedges Waterway Park. The event kicks off at 7 pm with live musicāfor Moana, the featured artist is Si-Ihn Ro.
So grab a cozy sweater and settle in for an epic, mythical, heartwarming adventure as the sun slowly sets over the water. Thatās what this series is all about: exploring the ideas ofĀ freedom,Ā identity, andĀ self-explorationĀ associated with water andĀ the open ocean, andĀ MoanaĀ fits the lineup perfectly.
