This song makes me feel sad for the late Howard Ashman. He penned these lyrics knowing he was dying from AIDS. The servants wished to:date again, go on holidays, have hair again...all simple wishes that he knew he would not experience again.
I'm playing Madame De La Grande Bouche in my school's musical. I can get up to an A flat, so I've been using this to help me get my B and it's worked well. Can't wait to show our director I can lol.
This song makes me emotional for some reason, it's just so beautiful. And oh my goodness, we're doing this show at my local community theatre and this song sounds so beautiful when we sing it. I never brag, but just this once.
My friend and I just watched this vid and she said something similar. Basically she said “why the hell does it sound like she’s just gone down in him” i spat my tea across the room 😂😂
“Would you have dinner with me tonight?” “Dinner? Me- with you? That would be, I mean…. OH YES!” Objects: “YEAH!” “I just don’t deserve you.” Objects: “Awww…”
Same here. It's my favourite "Beauty and the Beast" song and I would have loved to hear it in the movie. Although I've listened to the soundtrack so many times now, and I've grown fond of "Days in the Sun" and "Evermore" too. But yes, "Human Again" would have been absolutely amazing in the movie. *sighs*
Well, look for my comment and you'll see that I have this song as a short film within the events of the new movie. This combines the tunes from the broadway and special edition versions and even includes lines from the demo. Also, in the movie you can hear laughter and clattering from the others while Belle and the Beast were talking outside, clearly indicating that they were singing Human Again. Am I right? Look for my comment and see.
Same here. I've seen the movie FOUR TIMES already. I'm growing fonder of "Evermore." It's a little repetitive, but the words are very emotional. My favorite, that always brings tears, is the song Belle sings in the windmill. *sigh*
This song is my favorite in the entire soundtrack. My school had a beauty and the beast play this year and I fell in love with the musical numbers. Their tunes brought me joy and they remember me of the good times I had during rehearsals. I didn’t play anyone special (I was Villager 1 so I only had two lines haha) but I miss performing with our amazing cast.
Not only am I waltzing in this, but I'm singing tenor, which is extremely difficult, considering we've been rehearsing EVERY DAY and the show is in two weeks, and on top of that we're doing lifts, which is (literally) breathtaking, hoping to make it to a full turn and reach each count correctly, etc. This song, is exhausting, but fun nevertheless. I'm an ensemble member, so I'm in all major dances. This show really is a lot of fun.
This was always one of my favorite songs from the production and I was so sad when our director said we needed to cut it. Especially considering I'm playing Cogsworth and it's the only song I get a solo in other than in Something There.
ElevatorMan5482 ElevExperiencing Productions were doing this show at my high school and this is my FAAAAAAAVORITE from the whole show, next bring Me, I get that one stuck in my head immediately when I hear it.
I was Mrs Potts but I sang the wardrobes part at the end because she couldn’t sing soprano but everyone thought she was singing the highnotes at the end even though it was me 😂 We only had the main “objects” for this song (coggy, lummy, warddy, potty, chippy, babbey)
Jacob C. Goals tbh. I almost auditioned for the show at my school (opening night tomorrow AH) literally just in hopes of being a fork. I opted for teching though because it's so expensive to be in. No regrets, though.
I had this album on CD as a little kid, this was my favorite song and I was so disappointed it wasn't in the movie, lol. Some years later, I have the exact same opinion :^)

The school cast list came out not a couple of weeks ago for our school's fall show (we always do our auditions for the next show at the end of the year weird time I know.) and I got the role of Mrs. Potts! (Even though literally all my friends and the other teachers were telling me I was gonna get the role regardless 😅)Needless to say I am very very excited to play this role. To whomever reads this and is wanting to audition for this show, just have fun with it! It's such a good show and super fun! I look forward to doing it in the fall!
There is nothing wrong with that. An actor/actress while they can and should be inspired by previous performances should always add something of their own to a role. It is why I always enjoy seeing multiple versions of a play as while it is the same story, the performers always give a new life to it.

I'm the understudy for Lumiere for one of the nights we're putting on the show and this is going to be my first time ever performing! I'm so excited y'all!
This is my favorite song from Beauty and the Beast and like others, I was disappointed that it was not in the 2017 movie. It reminds me of Our Town by Thornton Wilder and brings tears to my eyes with its message.
I'm auditioning to be Cogsworth tomorrow and I really hope I get the part. I gotta sing thou lmao, and that'll be hard, but I've been practicing everyday.
when my school did this I was a techy we had to put a really big set piece on stage right after the song. i had to pull back 3 curtains at the same time lmao. still it was so much fun
(Disney Presents... A Beauty and the Beast Short Film... Human Again) (We see the enchanted objects having a meeting) Maestro Cadenza: This is great! The master and the girl are finally bonding. Plumette: This could be our big moment! Cogsworth: Quite right. But they must fall in love if we deserve to have our days in the sun. Lumiere: Ahh, human again. Mrs. Potts: Human again. Lumiere: Yes. Think what that means. (A spotlight shines on him and he starts singing) I'll be cooking again, be good looking again, with a mademoiselle on each arm. When I'm human again, only human again, poised and polished and gleaming with charm, I'll be courting again, chic and sporting again. Mrs. Potts: (Singing) Which should cause several husbands alarm! Plumette: (Singing) I'll hop down off the shelf and tout de suite be myself! Chip: (Singing) I can't wait to be human again! (Cadenza and his wife Madame de Garderobe are seen cleaning Belle's bedroom) Cadenza: (Singing) When we're human again, only human again, when we're knickknacks and whatnots no more, when we're human again, good and human again... Garderobe: (Singing) Ah, Cheri, won't it all be top drawer? (Cadenza: It sure will, dear!) I'll wear lipstick and rouge and I won't be so huge. (Cadenza laughs) Why, I'll easily fit through that door! I'll exude savoir faire! I'll wear gowns! I'll have hair! It's my prayer to be human again! (Mrs. Potts and Chip are seen washing dishes) Mrs. Potts: (Singing) When I'm human again, only human again, when I'm not just a mere quelque-chose... Chip: (Singing) When I'm mortal again, will I chortle again? When I've got one, will I thumb my nose? Mrs. Potts: (Chuckling and singing) I'll say sorry, my dear, this old dame's out of here. Chip: (Singing) Though you'll visit sometimes, I suppose! Together: (Singing)Won't the world be in tune on that sweet afternoon? Coming soon, we'll be human again! (Cogsworth is seen holding a red flag) Cogsworth: (Singing) When I'm human again, only human again, when the world once more starts making sense, I'll unwind for a change. Lumiere: (Speaking) Really? That'd be strange. Cogsworth: (Speaking) Can I help it if I'm tut tut tense?! (Singing) In a shack by the sea, I'll sit back sipping tea. Let my early retirement commence! Far from fools made of wax, I'll get down to brass tacks and RELAX! (He says as he waves down the flag to get everyone started) Everyone: (Singing) When I'm human again!!!!! (They are seen dancing and cleaning parts of the castle at the same time, despite the fact that it's still crumbling because of the rose petals) So sweep the dust from the floor! Let's let some light in the room! I can feel I can tell someone might break the spell any day now!! Shine up the brass on the door! Alert the dustpan and broom! If it all goes as planned, our time may be at hand any day now!! Plumette: (Singing) Open the shutters and let in some air. Mrs. Potts: (Singing) Put these here and put those over there. Everyone: (Singing) Sweep up the years of sadness and tears and throw them away!!!!! Ohhh....... We'll be human again! Yes sir! Human again! Cause it looks like he just may come through! Something's moving again! And it's proving again! Happy endings can really come true! Something's stirring again! Reoccurring again! I've a sneaking suspicion or two!!! When we cast off this pall, we'll stand straight, we'll walk tall and we'll finally be human again!!! (Dialogue moment with Belle and the Beast. They are seen in the library as Belle finishes reading Romeo and Juliet) Belle: "For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo." Beast: (Sighing) You know, that story was actually beautiful. Belle: Thank you. I knew you would enjoy it. Beast: But how were you able to play all those characters by yourself? Belle: I don't know. Some of them are males. Beast: Well, could you read it again? Belle: Well, if you helped me, you could do the male parts. Beast: Uh, alright. Is the narrator a male or female? Belle: It doesn't matter. Beast: Ok. Hmm... "Twel..." Belle: "Two." Beast: Two. I knew that. "Two households..." (Back with the enchanted friends. They are seen putting the finishing touches on cleaning and are still dancing) Everyone: (Singing) We'll be human again! Only human again! When the girl finally sets us all free! Cheeks a blooming again! We're assuming again! We'll resume our long lost joie de vie! We'll be playing again! Holidaying again! And we're praying it's A S A P!!! Little push, little shove, they could, whoosh, fall in love, when we're all that we were, thanks to him thanks to her, coming closer and(X6) We'll be dancing again! We'll be twirling again!

Stepping striding as fine as you please!!! Like a real human does!!! I'll be all that I was!!! On that glorious morn! When we're finally reborn! And we're ALL OF US HUMAN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! (End credits)
0:40 - 0:47 I’m gonna call it. If the show does get a Broadway revival, they’re going to rewrite that section to take out the verse “which should cause several husbands alarm”. Hey, if Disney could replace the controversial lyrics for “Prince Ali” which were “He’s got slaves, he’s got servants and flunkeys” in the original with “He’s got ten thousand servants and flunkeys” in the 2019 remake of Aladdin to be more politically correct and less racist against Arabic cultures, they can do the same with “Human Again” if the show gets revived in the future.
I think that the 2017 cast should reunite just to record this song. The cast would include: Ewan MacGregor - Lumiere Emma Thompson - Mrs. Potts Ian Mckellen - Cogsworth Audra McDonald - Mdme. Garderobe Stanley Tucci - Maestro Cadenza Gugu Mbatha-Raw - Plumette Nathan Mack - Chip And others “Human Again” Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Howard Ashman (C) 1994, 2017 The Walt Disney Company
I’m playing a silly girl, a dish, a napkin, a wolf, and I’m and understudy for Babette in my schools production of beauty and the beast I’m so nervouse
I got Maurice in my school’s show, and while I’m glad my best friend got Lumiere instead of me (he’s PERFECT for Lumiere) this song specifically makes me sad I’m not in the castle.
Everyone else: Days in the Sun is better than Human Again. Me watching the movie: (hears a big commotion from the objects) Belle: They know how to have a good time. The “good time” that the objects know how to have:
This song makes me feel sad for the late Howard Ashman. He penned these lyrics knowing he was dying from AIDS. The servants wished to:date again, go on holidays, have hair again...all simple wishes that he knew he would not experience again.

I know, it's also sad when Susan Egan talks about it in interviews
@Clare Gundersen
Ya 🥺
Bruh, this reminds me of the countless songs Freddie wrote before he died from aids. Why do the best people always have to die. 😭
Belle: “yeah so Gwenivere died alone”
Beast: “wHaT a BeAUtiFul STorY!”
Can we take a moment to appreciate Chip's singing?
I'm playing chip
I’m playing chip
I'm also playing chip!
I’m playing chip! But why doesn’t it even sound like him/her?! They’re five XD
I’m playing chip!
I love how the Beast says that "oh yes" the way Gaston wanted Belle to say that when he asked her to marry him.
3:16 OOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
ha ha ha lol! i like that part too!
That's my favorite part of this musical. I was lucky enough to get the beast and this is what I listen to 24/7 now just for the OHHHHH YES!!!
😏😏😏
I'm playing Madame De La Grande Bouche in my school's musical. I can get up to an A flat, so I've been using this to help me get my B and it's worked well. Can't wait to show our director I can lol.

That’s Amazing!
How’s 4 years on going?

Just realized Beast says "Oh yes" when just a while ago Gaston wanted Belle to say the same thing.
XDXDXDXD Oh Wow So True!

Great cohesion in story writing there
“Would you have dinner with me tonight?”
“Dinner? Me- with you? That would be, I mean…. OH YES!”
Objects: “YEAH!”
“I just don’t deserve you.”
Objects: “Awww…”
The beast's voice is so great! It's strong, yet so adorably sweet! XD Why... why can't I be a Disney Princess... ;__;

I'm gonna be Madame de la Grande Bouche and I'm oddly okay with saying "and I won't be so huge, why, I'll easily fit through that door"
Well, it is show business!
Pretty sure every pregnant woman has sung those lyrics at least once - on broadway or otherwise
I'm gonna be playing her too! and I also LIVE for that line lol
My school is doing it too and I'm Chip 😂 I can't wait
so excited to be playing the principal horn part in this show!!

Today is our opening night, and I can’t wait to do this song with everyone!!
How's it go? :D
This song is so perfect full blast while doing housekeeping chores. You just want to dance with the mop and clean with the help of the furniture.
This song is about hope since the Beast and Belle are falling in love and the servants realizing things can change for the better.
I was Mrs Potts but I sang the wardrobes part at the end because she couldn’t sing soprano but everyone thought she was singing the highnotes at the end even though it was me 😂
We only had the main “objects” for this song (coggy, lummy, warddy, potty, chippy, babbey)
Beast voice make my heart jump for joy!! It's too cute!! 😂❤

Only human again
When the girl fin'lly sets us all free
Cheeks a-bloomin' again
We're assumin' again
We'll resume our long lost joie de vie
We'll be playin' again
Holiday' again
And we're prayin' it's A-S-A-P
When we cast off this pall
We'll stand straight, we'll walk tall
When we're all that we were
Thanks to him, thanks to her
Coming closer and closer
And closer and...
We'll be dancing again!
We'll be twirling again!
We'll be whirling around with such ease
When we're human again
Only human again
We'll go waltzing those old one-two-threes
We'll be floating again!
We'll be gliding again!
Stepping, striding as fine as you please
Like a real human does
I'll be all that I was
On that glorious morn
When we're fin'lly reborn
And we're all of us human again!
Omg I'm soo excited I'm chip!

me too!
How did it go? :^)
The school cast list came out not a couple of weeks ago for our school's fall show (we always do our auditions for the next show at the end of the year weird time I know.) and I got the role of Mrs. Potts! (Even though literally all my friends and the other teachers were telling me I was gonna get the role regardless 😅)Needless to say I am very very excited to play this role. To whomever reads this and is wanting to audition for this show, just have fun with it! It's such a good show and super fun! I look forward to doing it in the fall!
This is my favorite song from the show my schools doing. Just the hopeful feeling i get while singing just really immerses me into the show
This needs more views. Now more than ever...
Im Cogsworth and my voice sounds nothing like his
Well as my director always says, " Don't try to sound like the people on the cd."
There is nothing wrong with that. An actor/actress while they can and should be inspired by previous performances should always add something of their own to a role. It is why I always enjoy seeing multiple versions of a play as while it is the same story, the performers always give a new life to it.
Dank Gank I am cogsworth as well but I sound like him
Same
Yee
Lumiere:
Ha ha, we, my friends.
The day we have waited for may be at hand!
Mrs. Potts:
Oh, only if that were true,
Lumiere!
Lumiere:
Aaah...human again
Mrs. Potts:
Human again
Lumiere:
Yes, think of what that means!
Lumiere:
I'll be cooking again
Be good-looking again
With a mademoiselle on each arm
When I'm human again
Only human again
Poised and polished and gleaming with charm...
I'll be courting again
Chic and sporting again
Mrs. Potts:
Which should cause sev'ral husbands alarm!
Chip:
I'll hop down off the shelf
Lumiere:
And toute suite be myself
Chip:
I can't wait to be human again
Mme. De La Grande Bouche, Mrs. Potts, Babette:
When we're human again
Only human again
When we're knickknacks and whatnots no more
Chip:
Little push, little shove
They coul, whoosh fall in love
Mme. De La Grande Bouche:
Ah, cherie, won't it all be top-drawer
I'll wear lipstick and rouge
And I won't be so huge
Why, I'll easily fit through that door
I'll exude savior-faire
I'll wear gowns! I'll have hair!
It's my prayer to be human again
Cogsworth:
When I'm human again
Only human again
When the world once more making sense
I'll unwind for a change
Lumiere:
Really? That'd be strange!
Cogsworth:
Can I help it if I'm t-t-tense?
In a shack by the sea
I'll sit back sipping tea
Let my early retirement commence
Far from fool made of wax
I'll get down to brass tacks and relax
All:
When I'm human again
So sweep the dust from the floor!
Let's let some light in the room!
I can feel, I can tell
Someone might break the spell
Any day now!
Lumiere/Babette:
Shine up the brass on the door!
Alert the dustpail and the broom!
All:
If all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now!
Mrs. Potts, Egg Timer, Whisk:
Open the shutters and let in some air
Mrs. Potts:
Put these here and put those over there
All:
Sweep up the years
Of sadness and tears
And throw them away!
Belle:
When Guen?vire heard that Arthur was slain,
she went away to a convent, and no one could
make her smile again. The end.
Beast:
What a beautiful story
Belle:
Oh, I knew you would like it!
I would like to ask you something
Beast:
What's that?
Belle:
A second chance. Would you have dinner with me tonight?
Beast:
Huh? Me? You? Well, that would be,
I mean -- Oh, yes!!
All:
When we're human again
Only human again
When the girl fin'lly sets us all free
Cheeks a-bloomin' again
We're assumin' again
We'll resume our long lost joie de vie
We'll be playin' again
Holiday' again
And we're prayin' it's A-S-A-P
When we cast off this pall
We'll stand straight, we'll walk tall
When we're all that we were
Thanks to him, thanks to her
Coming closer and closer
And closer and...
We'll be dancing again!
We'll be twirling again!
We'll be whirling around with such ease
When we're human again
Only human again
We'll go waltzing those old one-two-threes
We'll be floating again!
We'll be gliding again!
Stepping, striding as fine as you please
Like a real human does
I'll be all that I was
On that glorious morn
When we're fin'lly reborn
And we're all of us human again!

I'm the understudy for Lumiere for one of the nights we're putting on the show and this is going to be my first time ever performing! I'm so excited y'all!
i remember playing this song on guitar in the pit orchestra for my school play.
This is my favorite song from Beauty and the Beast and like others, I was disappointed that it was not in the 2017 movie. It reminds me of Our Town by Thornton Wilder and brings tears to my eyes with its message.
I'm being LeFou!! So excited
LilyMSPx I'm playing Babette
Sophie Holt So am I!
I hope they put this in the movie
god I cant wait until march when I'm Lumiere in this play
I'm Lumiere too! And my show's in March too!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE??
i think life just happened that way
Im chip in the show for my highschool and its in march!
I'm Beast in my High School's production, which is opening in March as well! :)
March is officially Beauty and the Beast month now.

I love Gary Beach, Barbara Marineau, Heath Lamberts, Beth Fowler, Stacey (Loach) Logan, and Brian Press.
All I can think of when I hear the "OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSS" is Mettaton from Undertale xD
I’m crying I heard that too
Also “so, belle, what’ll it be. Will it be
Y E S
or will it be
O H Y E S”
3:40 Sorry I need this 😂😂
God, I would give anything to play the Beast again

God Beast/Adam is a dork xp
(Disney Presents... A Beauty and the Beast Short Film... Human Again)
(We see the enchanted objects having a meeting)
Maestro Cadenza: This is great! The master and the girl are finally bonding.
Plumette: This could be our big moment!
Cogsworth: Quite right. But they must fall in love if we deserve to have our days in the sun.
Lumiere: Ahh, human again.
Mrs. Potts: Human again.
Lumiere: Yes. Think what that means. (A spotlight shines on him and he starts singing) I'll be cooking again, be good looking again, with a mademoiselle on each arm. When I'm human again, only human again, poised and polished and gleaming with charm, I'll be courting again, chic and sporting again.
Mrs. Potts: (Singing) Which should cause several husbands alarm!
Plumette: (Singing) I'll hop down off the shelf and tout de suite be myself!
Chip: (Singing) I can't wait to be human again!
(Cadenza and his wife Madame de Garderobe are seen cleaning Belle's bedroom)
Cadenza: (Singing) When we're human again, only human again, when we're knickknacks and whatnots no more, when we're human again, good and human again...
Garderobe: (Singing) Ah, Cheri, won't it all be top drawer? (Cadenza: It sure will, dear!) I'll wear lipstick and rouge and I won't be so huge. (Cadenza laughs) Why, I'll easily fit through that door! I'll exude savoir faire! I'll wear gowns! I'll have hair! It's my prayer to be human again!
(Mrs. Potts and Chip are seen washing dishes)
Mrs. Potts: (Singing) When I'm human again, only human again, when I'm not just a mere quelque-chose...
Chip: (Singing) When I'm mortal again, will I chortle again? When I've got one, will I thumb my nose?
Mrs. Potts: (Chuckling and singing) I'll say sorry, my dear, this old dame's out of here.
Chip: (Singing) Though you'll visit sometimes, I suppose!
Together: (Singing)Won't the world be in tune on that sweet afternoon? Coming soon, we'll be human again!
(Cogsworth is seen holding a red flag)
Cogsworth: (Singing) When I'm human again, only human again, when the world once more starts making sense, I'll unwind for a change.
Lumiere: (Speaking) Really? That'd be strange.
Cogsworth: (Speaking) Can I help it if I'm tut tut tense?! (Singing) In a shack by the sea, I'll sit back sipping tea. Let my early retirement commence! Far from fools made of wax, I'll get down to brass tacks and RELAX!
(He says as he waves down the flag to get everyone started)
Everyone: (Singing) When I'm human again!!!!! (They are seen dancing and cleaning parts of the castle at the same time, despite the fact that it's still crumbling because of the rose petals) So sweep the dust from the floor! Let's let some light in the room! I can feel I can tell someone might break the spell any day now!! Shine up the brass on the door! Alert the dustpan and broom! If it all goes as planned, our time may be at hand any day now!!
Plumette: (Singing) Open the shutters and let in some air.
Mrs. Potts: (Singing) Put these here and put those over there.
Everyone: (Singing) Sweep up the years of sadness and tears and throw them away!!!!! Ohhh....... We'll be human again! Yes sir! Human again! Cause it looks like he just may come through! Something's moving again! And it's proving again! Happy endings can really come true! Something's stirring again! Reoccurring again! I've a sneaking suspicion or two!!! When we cast off this pall, we'll stand straight, we'll walk tall and we'll finally be human again!!!
(Dialogue moment with Belle and the Beast. They are seen in the library as Belle finishes reading Romeo and Juliet)
Belle: "For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
Beast: (Sighing) You know, that story was actually beautiful.
Belle: Thank you. I knew you would enjoy it.
Beast: But how were you able to play all those characters by yourself?
Belle: I don't know. Some of them are males.
Beast: Well, could you read it again?
Belle: Well, if you helped me, you could do the male parts.
Beast: Uh, alright. Is the narrator a male or female?
Belle: It doesn't matter.
Beast: Ok. Hmm... "Twel..."
Belle: "Two."
Beast: Two. I knew that. "Two households..."
(Back with the enchanted friends. They are seen putting the finishing touches on cleaning and are still dancing)
Everyone: (Singing) We'll be human again! Only human again! When the girl finally sets us all free! Cheeks a blooming again! We're assuming again! We'll resume our long lost joie de vie! We'll be playing again! Holidaying again! And we're praying it's A S A P!!!

(End credits)
I cannot wait for May and June to perform this. I'm a saucepan
Im auditioning for Babette and Lumiere today!! wish me luck!
Just this musical put on by the Taylor Performing arts center it was amazing !.
3:20 when bae asks you out first

Shannon Thayer I play chip too in the Valverde production
same
My show is in 2 weeks and i’m babette i literally can’t wait

Cool!!! Our Napkins are really good
I am chip!!
Ellie Becker so am i
me too!!
I’m cogsworth believe it or not.... it’s AWESOME
0:56 callback for chip lol
This is sad for me because I was supposed to be in Beauty and the Beast but Covid-19 stopped our production
Same here
0:40 - 0:47 I’m gonna call it. If the show does get a Broadway revival, they’re going to rewrite that section to take out the verse “which should cause several husbands alarm”. Hey, if Disney could replace the controversial lyrics for “Prince Ali” which were “He’s got slaves, he’s got servants and flunkeys” in the original with “He’s got ten thousand servants and flunkeys” in the 2019 remake of Aladdin to be more politically correct and less racist against Arabic cultures, they can do the same with “Human Again” if the show gets revived in the future.
I think that the 2017 cast should reunite just to record this song. The cast would include:
Ewan MacGregor - Lumiere
Emma Thompson - Mrs. Potts
Ian Mckellen - Cogsworth
Audra McDonald - Mdme. Garderobe
Stanley Tucci - Maestro Cadenza
Gugu Mbatha-Raw - Plumette
Nathan Mack - Chip
And others

I got Maurice in my school’s show, and while I’m glad my best friend got Lumiere instead of me (he’s PERFECT for Lumiere) this song specifically makes me sad I’m not in the castle.
