This is "Something That I Want" by Grace Potter, the ending song to the movie, in its entirety.
Like they mentioned on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
d_princesses, I'm anxious to see what Disney will do for the ending credits, if it'll be illustrated like they did with Enchanted and The Princess and the Frog.
This is not a song that Rapunzel sings in the film, and this is not a pop version of anything that is sung in the film (like they did with "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World"). And I've heard complaints that what we've heard of the soundtrack doesn't sound like "classic Disney" at all. Well....not to get pissy or anything, but in the songwriters' defense, this is not a classic. Yet. And you can't recreate the magic that Howard Ashman and Alan Menkin had with The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. I think it's cool that this is the direction the animated movies are starting to take, because let's be honest, they were starting to get kind of formulaic song-wise after Aladdin. I like that the ending song is upbeat and pop-ish, and not a romantic, mainstream version of "I See the Light."
The point I'm trying to make is, quit contrasting and comparing. This is a new direction that Disney animation and songwriting is going. If you expect it to be like Beauty and the Beast or The Little Mermaid or Sleeping Beauty, then go pop that in your DVD player.
OMFGZ, ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT!!!!!
