@@itz_galactic1014 Yes, really. Truth be told it's a minor pet peeve of mine that Menken's work with Disney tends to overshadow everything else he's done. Lyricist Howard Ashman wrote both the book and lyrics for "Little Shop", and Alan Menken wrote the music. The success of the show is what got Howard Ashman a gig at Disney. He brought Menken in as a collaborator for "The Little Mermaid" and the rest is history. The two of them worked on a first draft of "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast" before Ashman finally died in 1991.

I love this song so much, personally for me this song can also be used for someone who’s been in a couple of bad relationships and when they finally meet someone who’s not like their exes and is actually sweet, charming, funny and kind, this is kind of like them saying to themselves “I’m not gonna fall in love so I won’t get hurt again.” This song has so many different meanings to it, that’s what makes it so great.
@@happyjellycatsquid Reflection, frozen songs, im almost there in Princess and the frog.

Try not to fall for the redhead/blonde bratty morally gray character with family issues challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) The amount of times I've fallen for fictional girls with that description T_T
Love the message of this song. It's okay to feel love for and to open your heart to someone. We don't value love enough even though it can be such a beautiful thing
This song is so magnificently divine, its weird how I haven’t heard it since I was a kid and then randomly I started to crave listening to it. It’s always been one of my favorites 🤍
I relate. This was my friends when I had a crush on someone and I didn't confess to him for a while. Edit: We are now dating!!! Edit 2: okay so i kind of broke up with him because i realized that i was pushing down my biromantic feelings to be with him. I felt burnt out and forced into the relationship. I am now happily with a woman!! Edit 3: i'm now with a very sweet genderfluid person. Though, i am pansexual/demisexual and a trans male!!
there's just something so real about the message of the song...sometimes it can be hard to trust and open up your heart to love until you realize it's okay to let yourself embrace those feelings of love
I personally like this version the best. The way she says “no chance no way” 😢it’s so uniquely her. I love all versions actually but this one is just perfect
Just finished a personal self ship fanfic to this song for a dear friend of mine. She adores Meg and loves this song too. I hope that she will also like the story I wrote based around this song.
@@Person-nf6dj it’s just in some movies made today it seems they tend to stray away from the love interest trope or sometimes make fun of it. Some movies still do that. There’s just not as many as their were before
Do you know what would be an interesting concept, if the hero and villain were the love interest. I'm not talking like Beauty and the Beast because the Beast wasn't given the villain title.
@@sarahhenry1845 I would love to finally see that happen, like I get why romance has been toned down in films recently. It's because most of the films that did have romantic relationships played into too many tropes (which isn't always a bad thing). Your idea is great though!
Megara literally needs and deserves to be a Disney princess. This song describes some Disney princesses, and she dates a literal god! She totally deserves to be one! Dang you, Disney! Why didn't you add her to the franchise when the movie first launched (I wasn't born then lol)? She's the perfect Disney princess!
The purpose of this song is to illustrate Meg's past relationship failure that got her stuck in Hades's servitude and her vowing to never letting it happen again by not falling in love someone
I've playing this right before I met my husband. The thing is, I always feel so worthless after couple of break ups, my family's betrayal, and my late grandma toxic behavior towards me that still scarred so hard on my soul for years. So that's why when my husband proposed me, I ask him "Am I worthy to you, even when my very own family betrayed me for defending my late grandma's toxic behavior towards me that scarred me sooooo bad until I don't trust any human beings in this world, including myself?!" He silence at first because he's pretty shocked to hear that and so does everyone who attended my proposal procession, but he held my hands and put the ring on my finger "Yes, because her behavior is not your fault even the world thinks it is. And for me, you are worthy even if you feel worthless because of your past. I swear to myself and God, that I will take care of you even if the world is going to against our relationship. Please marry me." I'm burst out crying when I hear that and finally said yes. Now, I'm married this man, and we still trying to get pregnant 🤧
What I love about this song is that, even though love didn't work the first time, you shouldn't forsake it no matter what. In the Old Ways "If At First You Don't Succeed, Try 'Try Again'"
I’m a man and even as a boy this song got to me. Should of known I was going be a romantic type when I was obsessed with this song. 20 years later I’m still listening to it
When I was in grade school, my gal friends would sing this to me whenever my best friend, a guy, came up in conversation. Bonus points: even the teachers were shipping me and my best friend together. My best friend and I eventually told each other that we like-liked each other. I went to a different high school after finishing grade school, so that relationship came to nothing in the end.
kay so idk why but when i listen to this all i can think abt is xiao singing this abt the traveller and the other adepti singing the background vocals-
the dude i’m seeing just accidentally said “i love- you’re awesome.” when we got off the phone. naturally had to come listen to this song because I feel the same. 😂
This is me. I don’t like to admit feelings, even to myself let alone anyone else, bc it NEVER works out. So I’ve just learned never to speak it and just ignore it. I’ve learned never to admit it. Bc every time, EVERY DAMN TIME I have a crush on someone, they don’t reciprocate those feelings so why even try? I’m bitter at this point
Was head over heels for coworker, but because he was my supervisor we couldn't date, and I also told myself I wouldn't date a coworker. I tried to scope out other guys but it felt wrong to go out with someone when you are completely interested in someone else. So a little over a month into working together he gave me a ride home, but instead we ended up getting food and getting kicked out of a Walmart parking lot and he confessed he liked me. That was three years ago, we are getting married now.
I literally relate, I'm meg because Im like to myself " stop, I don't like someone" which I do but we don't talk about that and I'm literally like thism

amen
But some times ppl don't want love cause it can be just as painful
Tis more rewarding to give love than to receive it.
But it's also important to not be blinded by love either. If you give your emotions free reign without restraint you're in for a world of hurt.
Yeah 😭
