Unpopular opinion: this is the best song in the little mermaid musical by far. No offense to the other songs, they're all great, but for some reason this song hits on another level
This is definitely one of my favorites. There is something about it that's so sweet and innocent and I feel this is where Eric falls in love with Ariel for the first time and not just her voice.
As someone who played Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid at a Local theatre, I’d say If Only is the best. If not the best, It definitely gives this song a bit of a run for its money.
PRINCE ERIC (spoken) Who needs words? Dancing beats small talk any day. It's the way your feet smile. Or laugh. It lets you say so many things (sung) Dancing is a language that is felt instead of heard You can whisper, sing or shout without so much as a word Try it, go on, like so... Just let your emotions tell your body what to do See how much a single gesture can reveal! And ev'ry little step Ev'ry single step Is one step closer To saying what you feel Once the music hits you, inhibitions fall away And you find that you're expressing things Your voice daren't say Don't be afraid, let go! Soon as you surrender, what's inside will sweep on through As the boundaries between us disappear! And ev'ry little step Ev'ry single step Is one step closer To talking loud and clear A dance is like a conversation Except you never need to make a sound And once you've begun You speak as one Give and take Back and forth Round and round A dance is like a conversation Except your lips don't ever need to part And once you've begun You speak as one Cheek to cheek Toe to toe Heart to heart Dancing is a language that is felt instead of heard But it says much more than language ever could And ev'ry little step Ev'ry single step Is one step closer... One step closer... One step closer To being understood
Here in Latam we don't know nothing about this Broadway versions. Broadway is part of USA's culture, after all. I've been a Disney and Alan Menken lover since I'm a little child, then I had a girlfriend who was the same. She had The Little Mermaid movie soundtrack in cassette as a child and she loooved every piece of it, particulary the Fireworks Jig. When we discover this Broadway versions we couldn't believe it. This song in particular means so much for me, it's SO good!!!!!!! I've been three years listening to it every week. I also love Aladdin's and Mary Poppins' Broadway versions. Eventhough we're not a couple anymore since like two years ago, we're currently best friends and still meet and listen this album. We can't even take the movie seriously anymore for how good this album is!
Personally I found the play much better than the movie. The songs in it meant more and this scene alone meant so much. How she awkwardly tried dancing then ran off stage made me tear up each time. I worked the lighting , it was fantastic. It ruined the movie for me because the play was so good. The soundtrack and the way the prince was written trumps the movie so much. "it's the way your feet smile"
Okay I know this is a love song but imagine an older brother saying this to a selectivity mute younger sister and he's trying to help her with the illness
Awww! I was in The Little Mermaid play for my freshman year in high school, I played a jellyfish and a princess! This was my second favorite song in the whole musical! 😭❤️
OMG THIS IS LITERALLY DESCRIBING THIS YEAR EXCEPT IM NOT A PRINCESS. half of the reason its my second favorite is bc of a vv good memory w my best friend, and my favorite is “her voice” :)))
Saw a comment that said this was how Julian from The Arcana sounds like. I thought of him having a deeper voice but that's honestly more fitting than I thought it would be
Oh my gossshshshshshhshsgsg i’m literally crying my school is doing the little mermaid (broadway) and I’m hoping to get casted for Ariel! I’m also a hugeeee disney fan and this is so sweet it’s in the best of the instrumental part of when the were in the town! absolutely love this:):)
I built a set for the musical and then proceeded to right-wing tech crew, and this song was the one thing j always anticipated- crew that didn't need to do anything danced along. This song went harder than it needed too
Really amazing! Is it just me, or When he talks at the beginning, it sounds like they’re recorded at different times? Idk... it just doesn’t sound like he says it at the same time or sumin’
I need to learn this song for a little mermaid play at school. 2 problems: how does he sing that well and I can't find the chords anywhere as I was going to try it acoustic. Can anyone help?
Diego De la cruz Anaya Yes, this happened before. Do you remember Adema and that song called "The Way You Like It"? Well they put a song with the same name and it was some like pop rap song or something like that
This song is really comforting for struggling with social anxiety
It really is!

i think that this and if only are the best songs in the musical
Ummm if only is unbeatable hahaha but I love this one and her voice too
This is definitely one of my favorites. There is something about it that's so sweet and innocent and I feel this is where Eric falls in love with Ariel for the first time and not just her voice.
Ur right, ist an unpopular opinion
It’s a pretty good song, and I respect ur opinion
But still 🤨
As someone who played Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid at a Local theatre, I’d say If Only is the best. If not the best, It definitely gives this song a bit of a run for its money.
I love this song so much! I wish a song like this, from Eric's pov, could have been included in the original movie.
To be fair, Broadway's writers are unmatched
Emile Frederik well the original movie came out before the Broadway
Brendan Berney -You suck
@@BudderB0y2222 I mean, Allen Menkin was the one who composed the music for the movie and Broadway show though so…

And ev'ry little step
Ev'ry single step
Is one step closer
To saying what you feel

Ev'ry single step
Is one step closer
To talking loud and clear
A dance is like a conversation
Except you never need to make a sound
And once you've begun
You speak as one
Give and take
Back and forth
Round and round
A dance is like a conversation
Except your lips don't ever need to part
And once you've begun
You speak as one
Cheek to cheek
Toe to toe
Heart to heart
Dancing is a language that is felt instead of heard
But it says much more than language ever could
And ev'ry little step
Ev'ry single step
Is one step closer...
One step closer...
One step closer

This is the most romantic description of dancing that I have ever heard. I truly love everything about this song. ❤️

"it's the way your feet smile"
U mean musical
Don’t make that mistake again 😠
🤣🤣🤣
If only Aladdin was this good lol I loved the movie much more
Okay I know this is a love song but imagine an older brother saying this to a selectivity mute younger sister and he's trying to help her with the illness
That just makes this song even sweeter!
I adore this song so much!!! I want this to be played at Prom...
14yellowCupcakes Maybe if people danced romantically at prom...
+homeiswonderland you are one of my new favorite humans
I played Prince Eric a few years ago and this scene became so awkward that me and Ariel couldn’t make eye contact without laughing 😂
0:20 - 0:24 I swear to god after my school's production of this part plays in my head in a constant loop ALL DAY
this is like my favorite song ever after I saw it on broadway!!! and now my favorite theatre is doing it next summer. I want to play Ariel soooo bad!
Angela Smith I hope you get the part. Good Luck! 🍀🎊
Aaaaa what part did u get? :D
This is based on the "Fireworks/Jig" music from the movie.
wolftickets1969 I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed that 😀
This tune is also played right after the contest
my school is currently doing this show as our musical and this is my favorite song it's just so well sung and to be honest i find it very romantic

Pretty poetic how they managed to fit in a love duet in a show where for the most part to her love interest at least the heroine is mute.
Saw a comment that said this was how Julian from The Arcana sounds like. I thought of him having a deeper voice but that's honestly more fitting than I thought it would be
i’m so mad that they didn’t include this song in the Live action remake!
Oh my gossshshshshshhshsgsg i’m literally crying my school is doing the little mermaid (broadway) and I’m hoping to get casted for Ariel! I’m also a hugeeee disney fan and this is so sweet it’s in the best of the instrumental part of when the were in the town! absolutely love this:):)

Really amazing!
Is it just me, or
When he talks at the beginning, it sounds like they’re recorded at different times?
Idk... it just doesn’t sound like he says it at the same time or sumin’
Fuck yeah, I love nu-metal! Thanks UA-cam Top Tracks for showing me this Nu Metal song!
Everything you say to me,
Takes me one step closer to the edge-
Whoops, wrong song.
I need to learn this song for a little mermaid play at school. 2 problems: how does he sing that well and I can't find the chords anywhere as I was going to try it acoustic. Can anyone help?
I keep confusing this song with Linkin Park's One Step Closer lol
Emily Dominko SAME! I was looking for this one, the hybrid theory song came up, and I listened to it and then found this one😂
My school is doing the little mermaid for the school and I play prince erik and I have memorize this song
I was expecting to hear Chester Bennington's voice.
I listen to this on 0.95x speed 👌👌👌
2:00
0:39
I can't listen to this song seriously xD
Why is this in a nu metal mix?
Why is this on UA-cam's Top Tracks for Nu Metal????? LMAO Fail
Linkin Park maybe?
why is this in the nu metal list?
Diego De la cruz Anaya Because the song has the same name as a Linkin Park song
hahaha seriously.....
Diego De la cruz Anaya Yes, this happened before. Do you remember Adema and that song called "The Way You Like It"? Well they put a song with the same name and it was some like pop rap song or something like that
Imagine Harry Styles singing this 😍
I thought this was the Linkin Park song ;)
jeffrey dong 😑
You're not the only one lol I confused this song with Linkin Park!
I don't know what you all mean, can't you imagine linkin park sing this? 😂
He keeps saying there's no need to speak... Yet the whole song is him talking... Hypocrite much?
He doesnt sing the whole time. They dance the whole song though
this only a picture so bad
This is an OST. Its meant to put focus on the music.
Linkin Park did it better
what
Hahahaha I loled to this
A-men!
