Love this song so much I just had to! All rights go to the owners of this sone IT IS NOT MY SONG OR LYRICS OR ANYTHING. They deserve every ounce of credit for this beauty
It's funny how you can interpret "Someone in the Crowd" as a song about either finding your true love or finding an agent for your career. Really helps drive home the theme of choosing between a love life and a career of your dreams
“Whiplash and La La Land are both very entertaining, crowd-pleasing movies, throughout their entire duration. But it isn’t until the finale when you realize just how carefully the pieces have been stacked up. Just to knock it all back down in an emotional explosion. And that is when they hit you with something only the best movies can ever offer....... a message” - videogamedunkey
This scene was so beautiful and the part where it goes quiet and then the guy jumps in the pool and ohmyogd I can't describe it, so gorgeous, I think that's when I fell in love with the movie completely and it was only the beginning wow.
legit my favorite part! the music starts of slow and everyone is in slow motion and then the guy jumps into the pool and everyone goes crazy!! such a incredible scene!!!
I love 3:00, where the flute starts out slow and then slowly picks up, and Mia is walking out of the party while everyone around her is frozen like mannequins...until the guy jumps in the pool and suddenly the music bursts up again and everyone is dancing. So cool and cinematic.
Exactly what I was just thinking. Don't you just love it when you watch back movies, or listen to songs from the beginning of a film, and certain events or lyrics just make so much sense? It's almost like little easter eggs. ^_^
This song is about talent spotters being in the crowd. For example, when Mia performed her one-woman show, there was somebody in the crowd/audience who saw her potential and invited her to audition for the film which led her to fame.
This is what this song means and foreshadows: 1. She meets Sebastian as someone in the crowd, and that is the literal meaning of the song taken alone. 2. The producer who scouted and recruited her was really just another one of the few people in the 'crowd', and foreshadows the ending that leads to the reason she found another man and moved on, even though she(and we!) realizes that she didn't want to at all. 3. When she goes to Seb's, she and her new husband are just someones in the crowd. And for all we know, that could be the reason why she looks so engaged in thought in the last scene.
Iris ja I've seen it three times- it's one of my favorite movies. The first time was probably my favorite, but only cause there was hardly anyone in the theater and everyone was quiet until the end. Then everyone got up and applauded. It was incredible
i think they chose the perfect song in the end scene, because they were showing mia and sebs journey and how it could of been, by using THEIR song, aka City of Stars.
Never noticed! That movie is just the ultimate musical! It shows all the emotions inside the characters by singing and dancing and dream sequences, as well as such little details you mentioned!
I could go into the musical physics of how there's the perfect balance of dissonance to still sound hopeful and major. However I prefer to think that some works are just perfect, they just happen , that's the case here and it's a bloody good bit of writing:)
🎵Someone in the Crowd will be the one need to know. Someone who could lift you off the ground. (...ooo, ooo, ooo...) Someone in the Crowd will take you where you want to go. Someone in the Crowd will make you- Someone in the Crowd will take you FLYING off the ground! If you're the Someone reeeeeady tooooo beeeeee foooooooooooound!🎵
This never fails to trigger my emotions, especially at the parts where the instruments are slowly and silently playing while Mia is walking and everyone else is frozen. Such a beautiful and well thought out song.
The song made me cry despite its festive mood since I feel like I am the one singing... I hope I can be ready to be found!!!! I am still a Wattpad Writer, though and still dreaming to have a published Hard book soon!
Interesting thing for those who saw the full movie - at the sad part of this song, she says "Is someone in the crowd the only thing you really see?" If you think about the ending, it's like ooooo
That takes so much coordination from the director and the entire sequence in general is insanely difficult to execute. I have no doubt this is THE musical to define the 21st century.
Yeah, this is my favorite part of the song. But in all fairness, that is like one of the main melody/song idea thingy that is reused throughout other songs. A good example of this being reused is the first 8 seconds of Another Day of Sun. You'll here it prologue somewhere, it's all the songs and it's great.
Alexiiii it represents the chasing of dreams in Hollywood, the mindless leap into aspirations that may or may not become reality. Later on in the epilogue it represents their dreams truly becoming real, their career dreams, even if their dream of being together was sacraficed.
For everyone that is just listening to the music - i have had the chance to watch the movie first (not even knowing it was a musical) before listening to the soundtrack on repeat. The soundtrack album in its entirety is straight out of the movie. Having seen the movie first, the music magically brings you back to the scenes in the movie. Not sure if you just listen to the music or if you listened to the music first, it would have the same effect. But really gotta watch the movie to appreciate the music.
"Someone in the crowd could take you where you want to go!" Speaking both relationship, and career, Mia and Sebastian helped each other to reach where they wanted to.... In the heart, and in their career dreams. This movie is just perfection.❣
"That someone who could lift you off the ground" AND "someone in the crowd will take you flying off the ground" FRIGGIN SEBASTION LITTERALY FLEW OFF THE GROUND WITH MIA
So, the song goes like "Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know, the one to finally lift you off the ground" and Sebastian literally lifts Mia off the ground at the planetarium!
After Singing in the rain, West Side Story, The umbrellas of cherbourg, My fair lady, The young ladies of Rochefort, Donkeyskin ... here is La La Land !
We're all here for 1:28 and 3:28 and all those similar parts. Simply the catchiest, most uplifting song I've heard on a soundtrack in a long time. That musical sting at 1:28 and 3:28 and everywhere else they use it in the song, and the movie overall, is just so positive and catchy and uplifting and happy. And SPOILER ALERT: Even later on when they split and you hear that musical sting, but it's played more slowly and in a lower register/key (I forget which, I'm not a musician exactly, just someone who played instruments for a number of years), to put a sad twist on it? But EVEN WITH THAT SAD TWIST, it's STILL UPLIFTING! Somehow, they made a depressing version of that musical sting, but still make it uplifting at the same time. So the sad twist on that hook, it still manages to have happiness embedded in it. It's like the song is telling you that yes, it's ok to be sad, but that things will get better and there's still light at the end of the tunnel. I love it.
This movie is the most beautiful cinematic experience I’ve had in a long time. Watching this movie in a full sized theater was even more amazing. People who though that this film was too depressing or boring obviously have never been introduced to classic cinema. This move remind me of an old French film where the endings were more realistic and not the American “Happily Ever After”. The dream sequence elaborately paid homage to generous of musical film, and tied it in seamlessly. I though the plot was well developed, and in some way, relatable to everyone. I never grow sick of these songs, and similar to a good book, I notice and learn new things every viewing. In the end, this movie brings back the art piece of film, that in recent times, has been lost.
You got the invitation, you got the right address You need some medication, the answer's always yes A little chance encounter could be the one you've waited for Just squeeze a bit more Tonight we're on a mission, tonight's the casting call This is the real audition, oh God help us all You make the right impression then everybody knows your name We're in the fast lane Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know The one to finally lift you off the ground Someone in the crowd could take you where you want to go If you're the someone ready to be found The someone ready to be found To make need to do Till they discover you And make you more than who You see now So let the stars align I think I'll stay behind You've got to go and find That someone in the crowd That someone in the crowd Is someone in the crowd The only thing your really see? Watching while the world Keeps spinning round Somewhere there's a place Where I find who I'm gonna be Somewhere that's just waiting to be found Someone in the crowd Could be the one you need to know That someone who could lift you Off the ground Someone in the crowd Will take you where you want to go Someone in the crowd will make you Someone in the crowd will take you Flying off the ground if you're the someone Ready to be found
Just came back from seeing this movie. It was great! I would have liked a few more big song and dance scenes, although I could easily count a couple very memorable ones. There just felt like a few long stretches without any. What really impressed me was the camera work. Even when the characters weren't dancing, the camera was always flowing about like it was dancing, and the song transitions were fantastic.
Yeah but too many musical numbers would have taken away from the narrative. It's a great movie because of the story, and the music pieces just topped it off to make it even better. It was just the right ratio of movie to songs
This movie is not to be missed. Go see it as soon as you can. I'm 76 years old and seeing it on the big screen with this fantastic music had me crying. The story line is fantastic as well with an ending you won't expect. This movie I think will win the Oscar for best picture of 2016. It was also filmed in CinemaScope which is a process of very wide screen for movies in theaters that they used in the 1950,s. It will say in beginning credits Filmed in CinemaScope. This is a process they no longer use but should.
That's the contemporary approach. And it really clanks to those of us who prefer and expect correct rhyme. Sondheim - an old-school lyric craftsman - wrote about once encountering a current pop songwriter who was quite careful to NEVER use correct rhyme. He thought it branded him as old-fashioned.
I really thought they'd pay homage to Hollywood classics who uses perfect rhymes in their songs like Hammerstein, Porter or yep, Sondheim. Still, half-rhymes aren't really an issue for me. I absolutely adore some of contemporary songwriters' lyricisms who get to explore interesting rhyme schemes, like Lin-Manuel Miranda or Eminem.
They might not have been even aware of using half-rhymes like "town" and "around"- you hear that sort of thing that so much that it comes to sound natural. Or, they knew it wasn't perfect, but other considerations beat perfect rhyme: Having the words say what they needed to say for the dramatic situation, having them easy to sing intelligibly, and having them sound like something a person might actually say.
Later when I become a parent, the one thing that I would be able to boast to my children is the fact that I watched Lala Land at the theaters. Simply devastating, beautiful film. It's been about 2 monthes since I watched it, and I still remember every single moment.
i just realised this song could be a song about a mutual breakup where one is telling the other that there are better people out there for them and they need to go find that 'someone in the crowd'
Someone literally did lift her off the ground, I love how much this foreshadows the movie. The movie and the music was just lovely and perfectly accompanied everything.
The acting and music is great in this film. I watched La La twice and I'm buying the Blu-Ray whenever it comes out. Thank you for making a feel-good film.
The way the music just swells beck into existence at 3:46 with the full sound of everything swirling around you and all the voices harmonizing and... ARGH! IT'S PERFECT!
It's funny how you can interpret "Someone in the Crowd" as a song about either finding your true love or finding an agent for your career. Really helps drive home the theme of choosing between a love life and a career of your dreams
Chandler Bing good point
Good point
Especially when she is in the crowd at Sebastian's show. Then slowly gets pushed back.
And Mia's part is undecided about that
yes, it's just great how they made that. i really thought it was about sebastian, she did not get to meet yet,
when i first heard it :')

amazing

Feels :')
eunoia omg same
johanes alberto SHUT UP NO ONE CaRES
I feel in love right after "Another Day of Sun"
I love 3:00, where the flute starts out slow and then slowly picks up, and Mia is walking out of the party while everyone around her is frozen like mannequins...until the guy jumps in the pool and suddenly the music bursts up again and everyone is dancing. So cool and cinematic.
Omg best scene
1:13 :D
Yessss
John Paul Herrera ya forgot the clarinet. It was a duet.
It's my favorite part too ^^ I love this movie so much >
SPOILER!!!!
This song foreshadows her future as an actress. The producer who discovered her was just someone in the crowd at her show.
Ana Patricia Rf. Omg I didn't even make that connection! I thought it referred to the guy to push her to go for her dreams.
could be both tbh
and in the end she was just someone in the crowd.
Exactly what I was just thinking. Don't you just love it when you watch back movies, or listen to songs from the beginning of a film, and certain events or lyrics just make so much sense? It's almost like little easter eggs. ^_^
This song is about talent spotters being in the crowd. For example, when Mia performed her one-woman show, there was somebody in the crowd/audience who saw her potential and invited her to audition for the film which led her to fame.
The instrumental break and the escalation that the beat slowly creates it is truly beautiful. wow.
my god i loved this movie so much
I'm so obsessed with this movie now
Nathan Schaefer I knew I was going to like it, but I didn't think I'd love it this much. I saw it today and it was absolutely incredible.
this si one of my favorite movies
*is
Me too.
Really makes you feel like you're watching Dunkey
Knack was watching in the crowd
Is it bad that im only here cause of beat saber and dunkey?
Minibattle Lop Watch the film and then you will be forgiven
@@MinibattleLop same. Im very thankful to dunkey for introducing me to this beautiful music.
@Geralt of Trivia underrated comment
This is what this song means and foreshadows:
1. She meets Sebastian as someone in the crowd, and that is the literal meaning of the song taken alone.
2. The producer who scouted and recruited her was really just another one of the few people in the 'crowd', and foreshadows the ending that leads to the reason she found another man and moved on, even though she(and we!) realizes that she didn't want to at all.
3. When she goes to Seb's, she and her new husband are just someones in the crowd. And for all we know, that could be the reason why she looks so engaged in thought in the last scene.
I would argue that the literal meaning is the producer, and Sebastian is another interpretation.
Saw the movie twice in the cinema, the second time I saw it, it was even better.
Iris ja I've seen it three times- it's one of my favorite movies. The first time was probably my favorite, but only cause there was hardly anyone in the theater and everyone was quiet until the end. Then everyone got up and applauded. It was incredible
babybee 1 I cried both times btw, you?
Iris ja I teared up the first two times, but I sobbed the third time.
It definitely will be a classic in Hollywood history.
Iris ja Same
they should have done a reprise of this song in the very end, when she really is just someone in the crowd
Spoiler
That would have been amazing if they had ended up together.
i ship seb and mia
they kinda did
She would never just be someone in the crowd to Seb.
i think they chose the perfect song in the end scene, because they were showing mia and sebs journey and how it could of been, by using THEIR song, aka City of Stars.

3:06 - 3:50 is soo good! makes me feel some type of way
ye right? :D
GemGem amazing, can't stop listening to that part xD
GemGem same! my favorite part of the song!
Es la mejor
I could go into the musical physics of how there's the perfect balance of dissonance to still sound hopeful and major.
However I prefer to think that some works are just perfect, they just happen , that's the case here and it's a bloody good bit of writing:)
one day I'll find that someone in the crowd for me, one day...
That someone who will lift you off the ground...
And take you were you wanna go... if your that someone waiting to be found!
🎵Someone in the Crowd will be the one need to know.
Someone who could lift you off the ground.
(...ooo, ooo, ooo...)
Someone in the Crowd will take you where you want to go.
Someone in the Crowd will make you-
Someone in the Crowd will take you FLYING off the ground!
If you're the Someone reeeeeady tooooo beeeeee foooooooooooound!🎵
Not, you wont. att: Reality.

min yu I think of the part in the movie where they are dancing slo motion ahhhh love it
That takes so much coordination from the director and the entire sequence in general is insanely difficult to execute. I have no doubt this is THE musical to define the 21st century.
In fact this song was a far simpler execution, compared to other musicals. But it's simplicity makes it beautiful.
Same to me. Saw that slow-motion scene since the trailer. Loved it. Saw it again in theatre with this part of the song. Loved it EVEN MORE!
Tom Ian Holland guys 1:03 come on!!!
Favorite part: 1:27. In fact, when I heard this piece of music in the trailer, it was then I decided to watch this movie.
Sumeet Das agreed omg
Yeah, this is my favorite part of the song. But in all fairness, that is like one of the main melody/song idea thingy that is reused throughout other songs. A good example of this being reused is the first 8 seconds of Another Day of Sun. You'll here it prologue somewhere, it's all the songs and it's great.
Mine too!
Alexiiii it represents the chasing of dreams in Hollywood, the mindless leap into aspirations that may or may not become reality. Later on in the epilogue it represents their dreams truly becoming real, their career dreams, even if their dream of being together was sacraficed.
agree i loveeeeeee this part so much, and it's much more awesome in the final montage where the mix everything in that song too
One of the best musical albums of its time! Perfection!!!
Spoilers:
I just realized that the "someone in the crowd" was the girl at her play who asked her to audition and turned her into a famous actress.
I honestly was never into musicals but La La Land was just something else, I absolutely loved it.
1:27 is my favorite part
IKR!! I love it
Eliana Moreno some
Mine too!
One year later and I still can't get 1:27 part out of my head.
0:32 the way she sings "know" is just amazing!!!
For everyone that is just listening to the music - i have had the chance to watch the movie first (not even knowing it was a musical) before listening to the soundtrack on repeat.

As a foreshadowing for later in the movie . la la land is a movie for dreamers and that those who dream should never give up their dreams .
Nominated for best soundtrack hopefully
I'm sure a song or two will get a nomination.
Probably will even win best original song.
it won
At the Golden Globes yes. Curious about the Oscars now.
This movie will slay at the Oscars.
"That someone who could lift you off the ground" AND "someone in the crowd will take you flying off the ground" FRIGGIN SEBASTION LITTERALY FLEW OFF THE GROUND WITH MIA

The theme used on minute 1:28 is just gave me chills.
It´s used in the entire movie! And it is just so awesome!
Me too, I get goosebumps Everytime I hear it.
So, the song goes like "Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know, the one to finally lift you off the ground" and Sebastian literally lifts Mia off the ground at the planetarium!
i saw La La Land maybe 4 - 5 times in theaters… i couldn’t get enough of it… what a masterpiece!
After Singing in the rain, West Side Story, The umbrellas of cherbourg, My fair lady, The young ladies of Rochefort, Donkeyskin ... here is La La Land !
Not gonna lie, I was kind of disappointed that this didn't also get an Oscar nomination.
Zach Miller I blame it on the damn ending
True! :( it's Oscar worthy definetely. It is a completely wonderful movie and the acting is astounding.♡☆☆☆☆☆

We're all here for 1:28 and 3:28 and all those similar parts. Simply the catchiest, most uplifting song I've heard on a soundtrack in a long time. That musical sting at 1:28 and 3:28 and everywhere else they use it in the song, and the movie overall, is just so positive and catchy and uplifting and happy.

Even later on when they split and you hear that musical sting, but it's played more slowly and in a lower register/key (I forget which, I'm not a musician exactly, just someone who played instruments for a number of years), to put a sad twist on it? But EVEN WITH THAT SAD TWIST, it's STILL UPLIFTING! Somehow, they made a depressing version of that musical sting, but still make it uplifting at the same time.
So the sad twist on that hook, it still manages to have happiness embedded in it. It's like the song is telling you that yes, it's ok to be sad, but that things will get better and there's still light at the end of the tunnel. I love it.

You got the invitation, you got the right address
You need some medication, the answer's always yes
A little chance encounter could be the one you've waited for
Just squeeze a bit more
Tonight we're on a mission, tonight's the casting call
This is the real audition, oh God help us all
You make the right impression then everybody knows your name
We're in the fast lane
Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know
The one to finally lift you off the ground
Someone in the crowd could take you where you want to go
If you're the someone ready to be found
The someone ready to be found
To make need to do
Till they discover you
And make you more than who
You see now
So let the stars align
I think I'll stay behind
You've got to go and find
That someone in the crowd
That someone in the crowd
Is someone in the crowd
The only thing your really see?
Watching while the world
Keeps spinning round
Somewhere there's a place
Where I find who I'm gonna be
Somewhere that's just waiting
to be found
Someone in the crowd
Could be the one you need to know
That someone who could lift you
Off the ground
Someone in the crowd
Will take you where you want to go
Someone in the crowd will make you
Someone in the crowd will take you
Flying off the ground
if you're the someone
Ready to be found
Why
Good
The instrumental breaks, holy fuck they're amazing.
Thank you for the lyrics! I sang the entire song to my dogs! They loved my performance!

is there anybody here in love with this performance ?
The moment when the music swells up and then drifts away and she starts singing quietly.....
thank you for making this available in the UK I have been looking for this for ages THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!1
Best movie I saw all year, can't believe the last film I was going to see in 2016 was the best one.

Mixed feelings about the lyricists' half rhyme approach to the songs, but other than that the music is gold!
That's the contemporary approach. And it really clanks to those of us who prefer and expect correct rhyme. Sondheim - an old-school lyric craftsman - wrote about once encountering a current pop songwriter who was quite careful to NEVER use correct rhyme. He thought it branded him as old-fashioned.
I really thought they'd pay homage to Hollywood classics who uses perfect rhymes in their songs like Hammerstein, Porter or yep, Sondheim. Still, half-rhymes aren't really an issue for me. I absolutely adore some of contemporary songwriters' lyricisms who get to explore interesting rhyme schemes, like Lin-Manuel Miranda or Eminem.
They might not have been even aware of using half-rhymes like "town" and "around"- you hear that sort of thing that so much that it comes to sound natural. Or, they knew it wasn't perfect, but other considerations beat perfect rhyme: Having the words say what they needed to say for the dramatic situation, having them easy to sing intelligibly, and having them sound like something a person might actually say.
Sir Comsatteur Eminem? Garbage songwriter!
really? for me he was one of the few legit rappers who actually knows how to write lyrics

Later when I become a parent, the one thing that I would be able to boast to my children is the fact that I watched Lala Land at the theaters.
Simply devastating, beautiful film. It's been about 2 monthes since I watched it, and I still remember every single moment.
i try to play part at 3:05 back to 1:27, unbelievable!!!
i just realised this song could be a song about a mutual breakup where one is telling the other that there are better people out there for them and they need to go find that 'someone in the crowd'
It's absolutely magical!
Something about this movie makes me so happy 😊
Someone literally did lift her off the ground, I love how much this foreshadows the movie. The movie and the music was just lovely and perfectly accompanied everything.
i love this song
1:28 i also love this recurring theme in the music, you hear it scattered across the different songs
The instrumental breaks are pure gold.
The acting and music is great in this film. I watched La La twice and I'm buying the Blu-Ray whenever it comes out. Thank you for making a feel-good film.
They reminded me of the Schuyler sisters
YES
Barbara Gordon probably idk they reminded me more of Heather, Heather, and Heather.
Barbara Gordon probably YEE~i like too
Christine Canigula
WORK!
Love the brass section starting at 1:30, bet on Oscar night that's the motif we'll hear again and again
Thanks for posting these La La Land videos with the lyrics. Wonderful movie and tough on my emotions!
The way the music just swells beck into existence at 3:46 with the full sound of everything swirling around you and all the voices harmonizing and... ARGH! IT'S PERFECT!
The song for all the people who are finding a job
the best movie i've ever seen
swear to god, the moment during the song breack is probably the most beautiful thing I've seen cinema-wise. Wonderful.
The retro feeling of the movie is so well expressed in this piece -- along with the video -- kudos all...
