What if someone else had gotten stuck in the pitch? That sounds like a nightmare to deal with, if the Duke or some random land ruins his expensive shoes and clothes because you have a crush on a girl you can't remember.
This song is amazing and Anna's voice is magical. This song made me realize as she says it "Things don't have to collide" but also when she says "What if he knew who I am when I know that I’m not what he thinks that he wants or then what if I am?" "How can you know who you are till you know what you want, which I don’t" « So then which do you pick: where you’re safe, out of sight, & yourself but where everything’s wrong? Or where everything’s right but you know that you’ll never belong? » That's the story of my life, always wondering, never sure, too scared to take risks, & I have this perfect vision of how things should be in my head I just have to find my "shoe" so things don't have to collide between my vision of things and reality.
@TheatricalLiz I mean, not really? Michael in the Bathroom is about his friendship with Jeremy being shattered and how a simple word can change how he feels about everything. If anything, it's waving through a window (i think that's the name, i dislike the musical so i'm not sure) from Dear Evan Hansen.
A few days ago this song was stuck in my head during gym. We were playing pickle ball. I was singing it in my head and when I got to the last ‘steps of the palace’ and belted it out. No one really acknowledged it because it’s become a normal thing for me to do.
Sk8r2999123 elsa goes through NOTHING pocahontas is the second on my list that went thought stuff... mulan its amazing she fights in a war and all... but i was talking about princesses... she is not a princess but she is the best female cartoon fighter... the little mermaid change her entire world, thought her prince didnt love her, leaves her world, her song its touching,fights a witch, her prince its hot...she has a more complicating story... and the most snooze princess its sleeping beauty but she is the prettiest of all the cartoon princesses
Sk8r2999123 Mulan is a legend, 'Frozen' is so far from 'The Snow Queen' that it might as well be it's own thing and Pocahontas was a lie made up by the real John Smith.
My senior year of high school (class of 2014!) this was the medley we sang in choir for our spring concert & was chosen to do ALL of Cinderella's solos... It was fun, but I didn't volunteer or try out to do it, my choir director just told me I was doing it...
i remember the second time i watched this but the first with my mom when this song came on the look on her face was priceless because she was listening to the lyrics and was soooo confused why she would be singing about a decision on the steps of the palace while she is slowly getting more stuck every second
no the pronouns and tenses were changed because in the musical she is talking about what happened. in the Movie Tim freezes and the song is just her trying to decide what to do in that moment. also if I remember in the musical she says "then from out of the blue and without any guide, you know what your decision is, which is not to decide." and in the movies she says "Wait though thinking it through, things don't have to collide, I know what my decision is, which is not to decide."
He's a very smart prince He's a prince who prepares Knowing this time I'd run from him He spread pitch on the stairs I was caught unawares And I thought, well he cares This is more than just malice Better stop and take stock while you're standing here stuck on the steps of the palace You think, what do you want?

+Hannah Scharman It's a compound meter, meaning that the beats are separated into two's, but divided into three's. For example, 6/8 time has two strong pulses in each measure, but each pulse has three internal subdivisions (ONE la li TWO la li) or (ONE two three FOUR five six) So all that being said, my guess is that this piece is in 6/8 :)

In to the woods is so good and also extremely technically difficult singing-wise. This song is a perfect example. No matter how skilled of a singer you are, into the woods will always provide a challenge
![Beetlejuice - Say My Name (LYRICS) "I prefer my chances down below" [TikTok Song]](/img/n.gif)
Cinderella: "For example..."
Me: *whispers* "A shoe."
Same
LOL😂😂😂
"well that means that he cares"
me: or he is a lunatic
Heck yea
LOL THATS SO TRUE, he's a P S Y C H O tbh
"The third night of the festival was thrown into chaos when Cinderella ran from her prince. AGAIN."
Like take a hint bro
I love the ending when she says so beautifully on the steps of the palace! She has a outrageous voice!
Hanky Danky 200th like your welcome
This is a mouthful to sing! I'm Cinderella in my school's production. I can't wait to NOT mess it up (hopefully)
Zoe D how did you do?
You got this!
Girl how’s it go
Here I am, 4 years later, haha! IT WENT SO GREAT!!!
zoedarc that’s so crazy aha
That last note is extravagant
its only a d natural.
No actually, it's quite Awesome.

What if someone else had gotten stuck in the pitch? That sounds like a nightmare to deal with, if the Duke or some random land ruins his expensive shoes and clothes because you have a crush on a girl you can't remember.
shayparty In the play, it was mentioned that it left a message for the other party goers on their way out. So yeah, it was a disaster.
But be foreal who would be wanted to leave the ball? From what I gather only she did
Shay MacGregor and then afterwards he just goes and cheats on her
This song is amazing and Anna's voice is magical. This song made me realize as she says it "Things don't have to collide" but also when she says "What if he knew who I am when I know that I’m not what he thinks that he wants or then what if I am?"

Social Anxiety the Song XD
Kelsey Bordeaux totally relate
No, that's Michael in the Bathroom.

@@kaleidits8390 MITB is Michael having a panic attack.
rhiannonbway yeah but not because of social anxiety
I love this song so much, but at the end I'm like
"Cinderella, what the hell did you think you learn? To decide to not make a decision?"
I love Anna's voice
Same here
Don't we all?
Her voice is so sweet, i think everybody like it
Me too XD
SketchedArmour ikr!!
ah that last note
so satisfying after hearing so many do it boring
ellaisntdeadyet I will never be satisfied!! (Only a Hamilton fan will get this joke)
Anna Walter I GET IT
I always pictured Cinderella as having a youthful voice, and I really think that switching the song’s perspective to first person works very well.
What I'm wondering how come her dress didn't get stuck on the pitch. But she has a really good voice
+Nevaeh Miller In those days pitch had a consistency similar to slime, it stuck to hard objects but just rolled off soft things like dresses! :)
that's what I'm wondering
Her voice is absolutely amazing! I am trying to audition with this song but the high note at the end, wow! I dont know if i can do it!
The note is really easy just take a deep breath
same lol
Pitch Perfect 1 definitely didn't explored Anna's voice, I thought that her voice was annoying, but then I watched Into The Woods
I agree
A few days ago this song was stuck in my head during gym. We were playing pickle ball. I was singing it in my head and when I got to the last ‘steps of the palace’ and belted it out. No one really acknowledged it because it’s become a normal thing for me to do.
this made me laugh
SAME
I just LOVE anna kendrick. don't you?
I do
+Shachar Har-Shuv Oh yea,
yes
She is so awesome, it's amazing how she can hold her voice for that long at the end!
Shachar Har-Shuv yes
Thanks! I had no idea what the lyrics were. I'm trying out for Cinderella
How did it goes?
Megan sings me too! i hope for either cinderella or little red
How did you do
I told my singing teacher I know this song. I do not. The regret is instant. I have a week to learn this
Honestly I love how she decided to perform this. It's much more exciting than the original in my opinion. She has a great voice too!
This song really shows off her voice, I love this so much :)
Thank you, for the lyrics of on the Steps of the Palace Thank you La Vie Boheme
LOVE HER VOICE!!!!!!!!
My all time gave song
On the steps of the palaccccccccceeeeeeeeee
If Anna Kendrick isn't in "Frozen 2", I will hate the world forever.

SnappyPenguin566 there are making frozen 2 has my nightmare come true sadly
I love foxes Yasss yes
Heh
looks like you’ll hate the the world forever
Cinderella:Well it means that-he cares
Me:No he don't,he kisses the baker's wife later on in the movie,he don't care for you gurl!
many people have mixed felings about into the woods but its by far my favorite movie
I love her voice! Such a beautiful voice!
That last note was just amazing :D
Cinderella is my favourite fairytale
mine its the little mermaid... i think she goes through more than any other princess
Desirée Rodríguez What about Mulan or Elsa or Pocahontas
Sk8r2999123 elsa goes through NOTHING pocahontas is the second on my list that went thought stuff... mulan its amazing she fights in a war and all... but i was talking about princesses... she is not a princess but she is the best female cartoon fighter... the little mermaid change her entire world, thought her prince didnt love her, leaves her world, her song its touching,fights a witch, her prince its hot...she has a more complicating story... and the most snooze princess its sleeping beauty but she is the prettiest of all the cartoon princesses

Ruth Nield a lie made up by john smith??
holy shit high notes
ughhhhhhh that last note strikes right through me UGH TOO GOOD
"Still Standing Stuck in the Stuff on these Steps" YES.

Krazie Kitty same here 😂

No just me ok

Into the woods is the best movie! 💕
i love this in so many ways😍😍

Into the woods is d best movie ever
I’m going to audition for Cinderella in my school play! I have to use this song for my audition; Tysm for this post it’s helped so much!
I know im late but how did it go
this is joy my new favorite music
I love this song
The song starts at 0:36
Cinderella: For example..... a shoe
Me: Bless you
Just a question, are these the same lyrics as the original song from Broadway?
no the pronouns and tenses were changed because in the musical she is talking about what happened. in the Movie Tim freezes and the song is just her trying to decide what to do in that moment. also if I remember in the musical she says "then from out of the blue and without any guide, you know what your decision is, which is not to decide." and in the movies she says "Wait though thinking it through, things don't have to collide, I know what my decision is, which is not to decide."
+Carlos Alejandro Alvarenga wow thanks! I'm doing a show and I needed lyrics so this is great!
no prob
If youre ever having trouble just look it up
Isabelle Anderson mmmm, mostly. a few differences, i suggest listening to the original soundtrack. its genius.
I do so love this music
i love this song!!!!
I love Anna's voice into the woods and pitch perfect can she get any better?!? 😄
Wish me luck, I’m auditioning for the musical next week! I’m so nervous!!
Might be doing musical theatre to this song.
Me realizing that I'm aromantic and I could analyze the crap out of this song about how I relate to it but I'll just say it's brilliant
Sing this all the time and always in a sweat when I'm done 😂😂😂
My school is doing this for our spring musical :)
He's a very smart prince
He's a prince who prepares
Knowing this time I'd run from him
He spread pitch on the stairs
I was caught unawares
And I thought, well he cares
This is more than just malice
Better stop and take stock while you're standing here stuck on the steps of the palace
You think, what do you want?
You think, make a decision
Why not stay and be caught?
You think well, it's a thought, what would be his response?
But then what if he knew who you were when you know that you're not what he thinks that he wants?
And then what if you are
what a Prince would envision
Although how can you know who you are till you know what you want, which you don't? So then which do you pick: where you're safe and out of sight, and yourself, but where ev'rything's wrong
Or where ev'rything's right and you know that you'll never belong?
And which ever you pick, do it quick, 'cause you're starting to stick to the steps of the palace
It's your first big decision
the choice isn't easy to make
To arrive at a Ball is exciting and all Once you're there, though, it's scary
And it's fun to decieve when you know you can leave, but you have to be wary
There's a lot that's at stake, but you've stalled long enough 'cause you're still standing stuck in the stuff on the steps...
Better run along home
and avoid the collision
Even though they don't care, you'll be better off there where there's nothing to choose, so there's nothing to lose
So you pry up your shoes
Then from out of the blue
and without any guide
you know what your decision is
which is not to decide
You'll just leave him a clue
for example, a shoe
And then see what he'll do
Now it's he and not you who is stuck with a shoe,
in a stew,
in the goo,
and you've learned something, too,
something you never knew,
on the steps of the palace
I love this song and I would have sung it for my father dahugter dance but im not there yet so thx for the song so i can practice
I am so good at the long words as I practice so much
I LOVE THIS SONG AS THERE IS A LOT OF HEADVOCIE
He's a very smart Prince
He's a Prince who prepares
Knowing this time I'd run from him
He spread pitch on the stairs
And I'm caught unawares
Well it means that, he cares
This is more than just malice
Better stop and take stock
While you're standing here stuck
On the steps of the palace
All right, what do you want?
Have to make a decision
Why not stay and be caught?
Should I give that a thought
What would be his response?
But then what if he knew
Who I am when I know
That I'm not what he thinks
That he wants?
Or, then, what if I am?
What a Prince would envision?
But then how can you know
Who you are 'til you know
What you want? Which I don't
So then which do you pick
Where you're safe, out of sight
And yourself, but where everything's wrong?
Or where everything's right
But you know that you'll never belong?
And whichever you pick
Do it quick
'Cause you're starting to stick
To the steps of the palace
It's my first big decision
The choice isn't easy to make
To arrive at a ball
Is exciting and all

And it's fun to deceive
When you know you can leave
But you have to be wary
There's a lot that's at stake

Better run along home
And avoid the collision
Though at home they don't care
I'll be better off there
Where there's nothing to choose
So there's nothing to lose
So I'll pry up my shoes
Wait, though thinking it through
Things don't have to collide
I know what my decision is
Which is not to decide
I'll just leave him a clue
For example, a shoe
And then see what he'll do
Now it's he and not you
Who'll be stuck with a shoe
In a stew, in the goo
And I've learned something, too
Something I never knew

Is this version higher than the original??
“On the Steps of the Palace” from the movie “Into the Woods”
Key of Eb
Sung by Anna Kendrick
Any tips for not breathing long enough to belt this?

At least this cinderella has a personality
Wow She's so fucking talented!

Can anyone tell me what time signature this is in?
+Hannah Scharman It's a compound meter, meaning that the beats are separated into two's, but divided into three's.

If a prince wanted to marry me, I would let him.
Wait-- what did she learn?
Basically what her two options are and what she wants and what her choice is... which is not choosing.
Reminds me of When He Sees Me from Waitress

Knock on the door, jen-
starts at 0:38 your welcome
Is it weird I can hit these notes and I'm a 12 year old girl
Cool
Kacey Whittall Not really. I mean it isn't hard to hit pitches, assuming your voice can hit them.
No it's not hard
Its not weird, i'm a guy and I can hit them (lol just crushed your dream there)
No you haven't
Eh, I prefer the MAU. But then again there both the same the only differences are the actors.
lyrics full of tongue twisters. HAHAHAHHAHAHA
I mean the songs great but the song is about a girl who is like "no desicions fuck em"
the beginning is too long without singing
Anna kendrick did a great job as cinderella but her dress was very ugly imo
When is Anna Kendrick gonna stop playing with these movies and just go to Broadway already!!!!!!!
I just listened to her autobiography, and she actually started out on broadway as a child
@@kairi99roxas well someone tell her to go back LoL
This is like more advanced then broadway though
MusicisLife yes, and fun fact, she’s the third youngest tony nominee ever, at 12 years old for High Society.
But then she won’t be in these movies like into the woods ☹️ THE CHOICE ISNT EASY TO MAKE 😎

Who I am when I know
That I'm not what he thinks
That he wants
But what if I am
What a Prince would envision
But then how can you know
Who you are till you know
What you want, which I don't
So then which do you pick
Where you're safe, out of sight
And yourself, but where everything's wrong
Or where everything's right
But you know that you'll never belong
And whichever you pick
