The Moment Is Me
Starring Vella Lovell
Written by Adam Schlesinger, Rachel Bloom, Jack Dolgen
HEATHER:
Oh God
Do I have to sing an inspirational musical theater song now?
I just can’t…
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
WHAT WILL TOMORROW BRING ME?
Ugggg…
WHAT STORY WILL BE TOLD?
WHAT SONG IS GONNA SING ME?
Jeez…
THIS IS MY TIME TO SHINE
STEP OUTTA THE LINE
THROW OPEN ALL THE WINDOWS.
MIGHT BE AN UPHILL CLIMB
BUT I JUST GOTTA FIND
WHAT’S AT THE END…
Please don’t make me say this…
OF THIS RAINBOOOOOW....
‘CAUSE THE CLOCK JUST KEEPS ON TICKING
IT DOESN’T CARE THAT TIME GOES BY-
what?--
THE CLOCK KNOWS ITS DESTINY
SO WHY DON’T I?
Uggghhhllllll….
CAUSE TODAY’S TOMORROW’S YESTERDAY
CAN’T LET THE FUTURE SLIP AWAY
CAN’T WAIT TO MEET
WHOEVER I WILL BE.
‘CAUSE I AM THE MOMENT.
THE MOMENT IS ME.
Ugh
Oh I guess it’s time for a story.
THERE’S AN OLD WOMAN IN THE PARK.
SHE LOOKS SO WISE, SO REGAL.
WAS SHE EVER LOST IN THE DARK?
DID SHE EVER SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE?
It’s just like, so on the nose.
OLD WOMAN PLEASE TELL ME YOUR TALE
DID YOU SUCCEED OR DID YOU FAIL?
DID YOU EVER REACH YOUR DESTINY?
Wait.
I AM THE WOMAN…
OLD HEATHER:
Please don’t say it.
HEATHER:
THE WOMAN IS ME.
OLD HEATHER:
Ugh.
HEATHERS:
WE ARE THE MOMENT
THE MOMENT IS ME
That was a living nightmare.
You get me. - Комедії
I just love her lack of energy. You go girl, give us nothing.
She's lack of energy and "too cool to care"combined 😊
She is just my favorite character in the whole show because of her lack of energy 🤣
Just how you are when you're surrounded by lesbians and a BF that sets things on fire all the time
It's not just lack of energy, she's actively despising every moment of it... total classic.
@@VirgoMafiaArt MERMISTA REFERENCE I SEE U
Seeing Heather singing and dancing so enthusiastically you'd think she'd be out of breath. But then again, she did take a kinesiology class: that's college for gym.
Roy Thingamajig oh yeah, that was in her second sophomore year
Jajajaja
I loved that line so much!
😂😂😂😂
Lol
I love that Rebecca knows Heather would hate singing this, so she just imagines her complaining about the musical theater song.
She embodies the millennial disenchantment for the future in such a sassy valley girl way, it's hilarious.
She's kinda not millennial though. Millennials are like 35-40 by the timeline of this film
@@Folemaet she is totally a millennial, don’t talk about shit you don’t know.
@@enteblu6799 Despite the terms for generations being not scientific but marketing ones, the general consensus is that millennials (or Gen Y) are children of baby boomers or early Gen X, so the year of birth is between 1980(earliest) and 1996(latest). The show eludes that Heather is younger than Rebecca who is 26 by the start of the show, which means that she is born later than in 1990. Gen Z on the other hand is born between 1990(earliest) and 2012(latest). The range is defined by the growth in the environment with the widely-adopted Internet. Heather's traits clearly align with Gen Z's absent parent-child conflict, long childhood, general good behaviour and digital literacy. So in my opinion, she is much closer to the stratum of "generation reaching adulthood in the second decade of the 21st century" as Oxford Dictionary describes Gen Z than the group of people who turns at least 30 by the end of the series.
Or in other words, most of the millennials are going to have quite old children by the time of the series. Darryl, on the other hand, is a good example of the older millennial.
@@Folemaet It doesn't really matter what she technically is because the mood is still millennial AF.
@@Folemaet millenials being 35-40 when season 3 aired is a wildly incorrect statement. You said it yourself, the oldest millenials were born in 1980, which means we only started having 40 year old millenials in 2020. Season 3 aired in 2017-2018. Given how the midpoint of the millenial birth interval is 1988, the most average millenial was 29-30 at the time, definitely not 35-40.
And I don't know why you cut off Gen Z at 1990, must be a typo. 1996 is when you have your youngest millenials, consecutively, that's when you have your earliest Gen Z's. Now Heather states she had been a college student for 8 years in season 1, which took place in 2015-2016. Given Heather's overall character, it is unlikely that she graduated hight school early for whatever reason - most likely, she went to college when she was 18, making her 26 during season 1 (which also means she must be very close in age to Rebecca, who is 26 at the very beginning of the show; I guess Rebecca clings to a technicality when saying Heather is younger than her, or, more likely, she assumed Heather was a normal 20 year old college student before asking her directly about her college tenure). Now if Heather is 26 in 2015-2016, that wouold mean she was born around 1989-1990, making her a very definite millenial.
And I don't think Darryl is a millenial. If he was a millenial, the oldest he could be in season 1 would be 35, while he gives off a strong vibe of a man in his early 40s. I don't have any concrete evidence for that though.
Time goes on but Heather's enthusiasm for literally anything stays the same
Enthusiasm curbed.
Lieutenant Thalia i love your pfp
same here.
Except for Valencia's past lover scoop
@@Kitamurasama because she loves dramaaaaaa
Heather is pretty much everyone who already knows what life is like post-college.
WAKE UP!
@blastemy You sound so fucking awesome...
@blastemy dude, stop bragging about your life all over the comments section. If you're actually happy you shouldn't have to convince others. Either you're being an asshole or you're being an asshole AND you're incredibly insecure.
blastemy no sarcasm at all, I think you’re awesome. I respect that you did it all yourself. But I think the original post was referring to adulting in general. I have a cool job too, but I just wish I could smoke pot and play video games with my buddies all day, like when I was younger.
yeah....
this is the most heather thing to ever heather
hulkhatepunybanner I'm just saying this song perfectly encapsulates heather's personality
"...to ever heather" ?
hulkhatepunybanner it's a joke lol
hulkhatepunybanner the grammar was off intentionally, that's what was supposed to be funny. this encapsulates heather's personality so much and so accurately that if "heather" were to be used as a verb in relation to this heather, acting like this is what the person would be doing
I’m a student
Those backup dancers have to be drinking unicorn blood to be that perky.
I wanna marry both of them :D
Actually, they are unicorn blood homunculi.
That's so dark lol
blastemy You could, but from the minute the blood touches your lips, half of your life will be Cursed.
@@juang2337 Hold on, this is important, which half? Front half, back half? Left half?
This is an almost scarily accurate recreation of the moment I graduated college
Same.
SAME
@blastemy There are plenty of other people in your position. They just don't feel the need to brag about it and knock others down. I'm glad you have a good career, but you should probably work on whatever insecurities of yours are causing you to troll on UA-cam.
blastemy I will never understand the “you’re not as good as me if you had ‘mommy and daddy’ pay for your college” attitude. Like....isn’t that part of being a good parent? Wanting what’s best for your child and providing them with an education?
Whoever blastemy was it's a god thing they deleted there coment
I don’t know why, but her having a friend at college who has this main character/supporting cast energy but we never saw before and never see again is one of my favorite things about this video.
I apologize for the necromancy but this is one of those genius things about this show. You can see other characters going through their own shit (Trent and Audra for example going through their ingenue phases) and get glimpses into their lives and it really drives home how much of our experience is universal even if the details are different. I think repeating the songs is the most obvious tell but I love this too. It makes it real and relatable. This show is a masterpiece.
“You did it! You reached for the moon and landed among the stars” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Oh God, do I have to sing an inspirational musical theater song right now? I just can't.."
**sings anyway** lol
"The clock knows its destiny."
XD
So brilliantly inane
Bagels After Midnight, your videos are amazing! Please tell me there will be a new one in the near future!
thx!
I love your channel.
Bagels After Midnight Love your channel, my dude.
Holy shit! I ain't expect to see you on the comments 😂
Considering how all of the musical numbers all take place in Rebecca's imagination, it's amazing to see how she imagined Heather's graduation. Her first solo song was very apathetic, but the more Rebecca got to know her, Heather gradually became appearing more lively and energetic in mind as well.
I seriously love the face of the blonde girl. It's so teen musical.
If Mermista doesn't perform this after the war is done with Adora and Seahawk as her back up dancers I'm gonna be pissed.
I dunno, I'd say the backup dancer girl would be Perfuma rather than Adora. She's definitely the type to say things like "You reached for the moon and landed among the stars" and incite a cheesy inspirational musical number like this.
Omg. Until I saw this comment I didn't even realize mermista has, Vella Lowell (Heather) as the voice actress.
Karishma Changlani same like I heard it but it didn’t click.... I’m glad there’s a living mermista song lol
Thank you! I couldn't place the voice.
I couldn't figure out why I knew her voice. thank you
"CAN’T WAIT TO MEET WHOEVER I WILL BE."
Meets older her in the next few seconds
Her attitude is my Monday
Her attitude is me every day
It's my every day.
she's a legend. she's an icon. and she IS the moment. now come on now
The really missed the opportunity at the end when normal heather and older heather are holding hands and singing together. Instead of “the moment is me”
“The moment is we”
Simply Ivyvine who can it her only. So it me
I honestly thought so too.
They did it in the live version xd
That's even more perfect because Heather would hate it to an even greater degree.
She did it when she sang it with David Hull, apparently
Today's tomorrow's yesterday 😂😂
Well it is.
*ugh*
Well she isn't wrong.
And time doesn’t care that it flies by.
LOL ikr🤣
She somehow nailed being a great singer while also sounding totally miserable
I'm sure she was slightly more active singing that in the studio

I canNOT with your profile picture.
Adorable.
The excessive optimism and energy of the backup dancers in contrast with Heather gives me so much life.
I was today years old when I realized that she also voiced mermista in she-ra and literally no idea how I didnt notice it sooner but listening to this song immediately after watching spop and it finally clicked
As soon as I heard Mermista's voice I knew it was Heather! Isn't She-Ra an amazing show though?!
Heather and Mermista are both queens who don't care
This is my enthusiasm every day in life
Heather is such a relatable character that it concerns me sometimes. Like I feel like that much lack of energy and enthusiasm in life is comedic when it's not a real person but when it's me maybe that's a problem, but oh well, nothing to do but live life anyway I guess.
I love that this song turned into Heather's theme. I specifically remember it playing when she came down the aisle but there were a few other times
I love how emotionless or deadpan she’s intended to sound but there’s so much emotion in this number lmaooo
I love how she's so disgusted by her own lyrics
It's just like, so on the nose.
Vella is my favorite! I'm always waiting for her scenes and I'm so glad she got a solo song at last! She's actually a great singer, but Heather's dead pan expression makes her performances both amusing and hilarious, she's like a polar opposite of Rebecca LOL
This song is a perfect combination between the excitement felt by young kinds who dream of becoming someone in life and the constant "meh" feeling after they graduate. Beautiful.
Heather is so perfect
Heather and Mermista are moods and both of them are Vella Lovell. I simply love her!
I heard her voice in the first couple episodes and to be honest I didn't even really notice at first, 3 episodes later this was driving me crazy until I googled and confirmed it
By giving us nothing, she's giving us everything!
This gives me so much life, whenever I'm feeling down I just listen to this and it just makes me feel so much better. SO inspirational.
It literally JUST came out lol
Really? "Totally Fucked" from Spring Awakening always makes me feel better.
"Face Your Fears" is real good for the ol' confidence too.
They recorded the song with another singer who actually sings it with enthusiasm. It's in you tube music, if you want to listen it
I love you Rachel Bloom, let's take over the world....like actually take over the world.
Besufekad Mulu ever watched the outtakes? Not only is she funny, she swears like a sailor. It's glorious to watch
Nope. But now I will!
Squad goals
this is the only song in the show thats actually written like a normal inspirational theater song, not a parody. this song has zero punchlines. in a different context this would pass as a real musical theater song. the fact that its still hilarious means musical theater songs are so over the top theyre just naturally dumb as fuck without the parody punchlines. its brilliant on a meta level.
This is me, when people try to get all inspirational and Hallmark-y, around me. Spaaaaaaare meeeeee.
CAUSE I AM HEATHER, THIS HEATHER IS ME ♪
ENTHUSIASM
''Heather you did it! You reached for the moon, and landed amongst the stars!'' Dying. Haha
Vella is really putting that Julliard degree to great use here.
Heather is a modern version of Daria.
YESSSS.
Uh, Daria is the modern version of Daria.
You do know Daria's not from the 1800s, right?
hulkhatepunybanner She doesn't have to be from the 1800's to not be modern???? Ask any random person if they remember Daria and they'll say no. I guarantee you. The show came out 20 years ago. I wouldn't call it modern.
I watched Daria a decade after it aired and it's one of my favorites shows. I also think Heather is a substantially different kind of sarcastic when compared to Daria.
Only in attitude. Heather cares about her appearance.
That little "Ugh," after the second line, together with that slow blink... that's the face of every parent ever who had to take their kid to High School Musical XD
idk why i just love the way she says "there's an old woman in the park" and "old woman please tell me your tail" so much-
This show is so underrated
I had never laughed so hard at a musical number, I lost it at when the dancers started jumping around behind her, this is a brilliant scene I love it so much
I want these back up dancers irl to pump me up wherever I go.
The backup dancers are funny. Lol.
Yes the blonde woman is so amazing she looks like it's the best day of her life and she isn't even the one who's graduating.
SHES MY FAVVVVV
Heather's wonderful, and this song makes me so deeply happy. What do you all think the odds are that she comes out of this season going into a PhD program? She gets to be a grad student for 5-10 more years, and then as a professor she literally never has to leave school for her entire professional career.
I had a friend who did that.
Or you can have the courage to move on and do something practical with your life.
@@Benjumanjo some people love to study and want to stay in academia their whole lives. no shame in that.
@@am-rk2rc Yes, and some people don’t have a good reason, and their act of cowardice will fester inside them like a bad cold. It’ll get stronger and stronger until they’re like 40 and realize they’ve been running away from themselves their entire lives and they’ll have a midlife crisis with potentially disastrous consequences.
@@Benjumanjo you probably have no idea how challenging academia is.
I want Rachel to know that im walking to class in college right now and I cant stop smiling and laughing while listening to this on spotify and im positive I look like a crazy person but it’s worth it
Let's appreciate the backup dancers. At around 1:50 they are still dancing at the far background.
I think it's 1:35, can't see them after that
Well, color me inspired.
Raphael Basile I thought you were going to stay ‘Well, color me stoked’😄 sorry I’m stuck in the Heathers film world
Her face gets me every time.
IDK why, but I'm so obsessed with her beautiful voice crack at 1:43. It's somehow so elegant and nice to listen to.
She's an icon, she's a legend, and she *is* the moment. Now come on now.
"Vella Lovell" is such a pretty name/surname combo
I'm kinda sad that Vella's first solo song was purposefully sung with 0 motivation. She has a lovely, unique voice and I want to hear it at 100%
Stuck In The Bathroom was her first solo, although technically it was Don't Settle For Me
The actress sings for She-Ra as well if you look up Mermista.
I love the dancers lmao
Heather is my favorite character on tv right now. Every single sentence and look is perfection
She's got a point, she's an icon, she's a legend and the moment is her
This 100% reminds me of my high school graduation, when my parents and all my teachers made such a big deal out of it and forced me to attend the ceremony, despite the fact that, in the grand scheme of things, a normal, run-of-the-mill diploma with literally nothing else doesn't really amount to anything.
But I had to play along with the spectacle of it all and sit through a bunch of cheesy "you are the future" speeches because "yay, you did a thing!"
Why can't we have a spinoff series? THE HEATHER SHOW!
anyone else watching this in 2020? she already had (Mermista's uugghh ready to go) i just find it funny
She's the one whose put together the most in this show.
YES VELLA MY LOVE
The next time you get high, think about what it would be like to live in the universe in this song, where it’s normal to get approached by a disconcertingly unenthusiastic woman forced to sing to background music and dancers that are coming out of nowhere which she’s clearly aware that this kind of things happen sometimes, and you’re not surprised because you’re actually her but old.
Why do I like this song so much?
The short “ugh” fucking finished me.
this is how people who write these kinds of songs sing their demos
Vella went to Julliard and I thank the lord every day that we got her as a gift.
She is too cool for school 👍🏻😀 xx
Jeffery Lin It is just an expression,not literal
Jeffery Lin oh I see lol 😂,all heathers are cool 😉
Just coming to say that I was looking forward to graduate. Not because of it, but to perform this song. It was worth it.
Imagine mirmista singing while Bow, Perfuma, Scorpia, and seahwak dancing in the background.
I cried when this played in the background in the latest episode 😭😭
Heathers: We are the moment
Me: the moment is we the moment is we the moment is we the moment is we
Heathers: The moment is....me....
Me: GOSH DANG IT YOU TWO.
Yes!
@@codyofathens3397 It gets me every time!! xD
@@AlaysiaSelvin It's the clearly superior line!
It was payback for having to sing the entire rest of the song.
Possibly died of laughter lol
That blonde girl who begins the conversation with her is pretty much a spot-on High School Musical extra... respect
What I love about this song is that Rebecca knew how Heather would react when she forced her to sing. Heather just breaks the fourth wall between them and it's amazing.
I am in love with Heather's voice, like, in love love
I wish she had a song that she was actually happy to sing
LemonadeLiz that would ruin her character
Wilson Cardenas but what if she gains some enthusiasm for one thing? I liked her reprise of “settle for me”. Her voice was lovely in that
She enjoyed trap in the bathroom... A little
Friendtopia she was very happy.
Settle For Me Reprise?
The two ppl behind her is using ALL their theater training
This is my mood as I'm finna graduate and people make it a big deal
This song pops up at the most random moments of my life. Last night I dreamt that I was playing soccer and as a warming up we all had to stand in line and sing this song and it was amazing but also kind of weird? Help me.
Me when I get an A and my friends tells me to be grateful
January grateful*
The “please don’t say it” took me out 😂😂😂
The way she goes what after the clock line is so funny I kept going back and watching it and it was still funny
The clock just keep on ticking and doesn’t care that time goes by, what???😂
i KNEW i recognized mermista's voice!
I just love her! Her lack of enthusiasm is perfect.
She is absolutely my mood.
the perky dancers are the MVPs of this bit
I graduate this Saturday and this embodies what I'm currently feeling
omg mermista vibes
It was mermistas voice actor who played heather
Can we just appreciate how into it Heather's back up dancers are?
thats the BEST. i can't. i just can't.
I loved Heather's performance for a few years. Now I'm frequently coming back for the dancers.
I'm pretty i heard this play in a slower, piano version during her and hector's wedding 🥺
I love thee way she is startled by the overly enthusiastic backup dancers XD
