I get chills she when she sings "CHANGE WILL COME" so desperately, you can hear the ache in her voice. I think "God Help The Outcasts," was the right choice for this scene, but I'm so glad the musical places this beautiful song right when Esmeralda is led to be burned at the stake, hurting but defiant. This music is just amazing.
the main melody of Someday is the chant melody from the very beginning of the movie before The Bells of Notre Dame! that's pretty cool! the lyrics to that are: Olim, olim, Deus accelere (Someday, someday, God speed) Hoc sæculum splendium (This bright millenium) Accelere fiat venire olim (Let it come someday)
"I don't know if you can hear me Or if you're even there I don't know if you would listen To a gypsy's prayer In your house of peace and beauty I don't know what to say Except to ask that peace and beauty may come to us out there someday Someday When we are wiser When the world's older When we have learned I pray someday we may yet live To live and let live Someday Life will be fairer, Need will be rarer, Greed will not pay God speed This bright millennium On its way Let it come Someday Someday My fight will be won then, We'll stand in the sun then That bright afternoon Till then, on days When the sun is gone I'll hang on Wish upon the moon Change will come One day, someday, soon"
For everyone saying this should have been in the movie, you can take comfort in the fact that it's played during the movie credits, though sang by someone else.
This is literally the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Doesn't matter which version, it just touches my heart. I have tears streaming down my face as I write this
For this moment, 'God Help the Outcast' was most definitely the better choice. 'Someday' would have been better suited if they animated a scene of Esmeralda locked up and/or being led to her death; just as it was beautifully executed in the Berlin stage production of THBoND I really hope they bring the musical to Broadway in the near future!
This is a beautiful song, but I do think God Help the Outcasts fit better in the cathedral, whereas Someday would have been perfect if they had a scene in the film where she sings in the dungeon. Or if she sang it while on top of the cathedral with Quasi just before they climb down. I like this version MUCH better than one on the soundtrack (90's pop music.....eeeeeew).
The song itself is so beautiful and the German version in the German musical of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame This version of the song brings me into tears every time I listen to it
bellamovie2 You and I both, Bella :') They should have put this version translated into English instead of the truncated version we got in the new version
i think 'someday' is more tragically heartfelt... like my heart tugged at her plea but i also think they were right to keep 'God help the outcasts' b/c it sounded more like a prayer and it was more powerful and it just FIT u no? lol i couldnt imagine anything else but that being there.. both songs are absolutely beautiful
My school choir learned this song, this version of it rather than the one that’s played at the end of the film. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it.
Hi, I’m going to conduct this song for my school soon, and at the moment I’m still looking for a good sheet music. I am curious to know about the version sung in your choir, i would love to purchase the arrangement. Please let me know :)
It's beautiful, but too "grand" for what the producers were aiming. However, as someone else has pointed out, this could have been included if they had been just that bit more faithful to the original source material. Imagine her singing this in her cell as she awaits her burning, as dusk turns to night and with the moon rising.
Jane Adams Yeah, I think it would've worked if they added at least half an hour more plot to the movie. Though their reason for ultimately cutting it is understandable ("too grand, too early in the film").
I don't know for you but this has been my favourite movie since I saw it for the first time - I was 7 or 8. I don't remeber why I liked it so much at that age but when I watch it now I see how deep it is!
I heard this on youtube one day, and I knew it wasn't actually in the film, so I got really confused... Then I finally realised where I'd heard it. It's actually heard as a background score throughout some parts of the movie...and the credits, of course. But I'm so glad I found it. its really lovely =]
I stumbled across this song while looking up Heidi Mollenhauer and I recognize this song, it's sung by Celtic Woman's Chloe Agnew -- Ironic how the song that was cut out of the film yet made it's way out there into the world.
The pop version of this song plays during the credits and is sung by All 4 One. Excerpts of the music can also be heard throughout the movie at key points.
this song is truly beautiful and powerful!!! I too would have loved to see its finished version. if only they finished all 3 deleted songs, the storyboards are really beautiful, but a finished version would have been priceless. The orchestration exactly in the beginning where she says "in your house of peace and beauty" really gave me goosebumps!! the message of the song is truly powerful. 2 thumbs up to Alan Menken and the artists!
I personally feel that Someday has a better progression and fits the set up better. It also helps that it isn't completely out of character like the movie version of God help the Outcasts is. Not using Someday I think was the biggest mistake they made in the development of this movie.
I actually feel like this fits the situation better. She isnt the type of character to feel helpless.This song shows that she is always looking towards a brighter future for those who have suffered so much. God help the outcasts sounds more like she is giving up the fight herself and putting in hope that a supernatural figure will fix it. In the movie it doesn't even reach the part of the sound that shows her bitterness towards a god if one exists.God help the outcasts was very out of character.
hey np! dissent is encouraged! thx for not freakn out like some ppl would if they disagreed and so i completely respect your opinions! i also agree that both songs are so so beautiful
There is more than 6 billion people on this planet, and each person is like sweet and sour sauce. They have good traits and bad traits. Some people have a perfect balance of the two, some have more "sweet" than "sour", and others have more "sour" than "sweet". The problem is that those people let their bad traits overwhelm them.
I dont like how people are insulting the gargoyles. Everything they say or do somehow reflect on quasi because they're his thoughts and ideas put into a shape. After all, they're just made out of stone.
The best songs from the old Disney movies were the credit songs. This one, "If I never knew you" from Pochahontas, and I love "True to your Heart" from Mulan.
OMG. I never knew this song was written for this movie. I thought "Someday" was an old choir song or something cuz I used to listen to chloe sing this song!!!
me too, I think it was way too under appreciated in its time, the animation was sick ( in a good way!), the songs were friggin awesome, and yea! wish it was better noted , like no one in my class has seen it!
It's in the German musical, Der Glockner Von Notre Dame, which is being re-vamped for the American stage. I think it's used after Frollo captures all the gypsies in the Court of Miracles (I haven't seen the show).
Because it was a deleted song I guess and maybe people don't feel like ripping it. And Disney doesn't want to give the US and Canada a special edition DVD with all the cool special features like this one. This WOULD be awesome to have on my iPod, but I'm okay with the All-4-One version.
I like this song, but I'm glad they went with "God Help the Outcasts". The song is pretty though. I think the version in the ending credits doesn't have this song's intro. (the part with the "God Help the Outcasts" tune)
I do prefer "God Help the Outcasts", but seeing this makes me like "Someday" more. It didn't seem to fit at all with the pop version even though I like All-4-One. I didn't mind the happy ending in the movie. I guess the stage production is more similar to the book, but that ending was very sad and disturbing.
Someday is a lovely song, but it didn't really fit the moment. In the stage musical it fits perfectly in the moment and it's one of the strongest numbers.
While I agree that it works better as a humbling moment in the context of the movie, this version of the scene is still beautiful. Now WHEN are they going to release an American 2-disc DVD with the deleted scenes and tons of other stuff?? The 10th anniversary came and went, the 15th anniversary came and went - how long do we have to wait???
Her performance for God help the outcasts sounds more similar to demi Moore and is much more subtle- she's very mellowdramatic in this rendition. I'm sure she wasnt able to really work it too much since it was just storyboard but still. What they went with was better. Good call disney
yeah that was the version I heard first too. But I also have a more upbeat version sung by Donna Summer...Was this used as an ending theme to the movie? It's been so long I don't remember. It just seems weird that the song got out there without being used at all in the movie. That clip was beautiful. I wish they animated it ^_^
@shipperheart Yeah, I prefer the much happier ending to the original movie (in which Esmeralda survives and is free to pursue a relationship with Phoebues once Frollo is gone) myself.
I get chills she when she sings "CHANGE WILL COME" so desperately, you can hear the ache in her voice. I think "God Help The Outcasts," was the right choice for this scene, but I'm so glad the musical places this beautiful song right when Esmeralda is led to be burned at the stake, hurting but defiant. This music is just amazing.
I recommend you watch the musical bootleg/ listen to it cuz its even better in my opinion
the main melody of Someday is the chant melody from the very beginning of the movie before The Bells of Notre Dame! that's pretty cool!
the lyrics to that are:
Olim, olim, Deus accelere (Someday, someday, God speed)
Hoc sæculum splendium (This bright millenium)
Accelere fiat venire olim (Let it come someday)
"I don't know if you can hear me
Or if you're even there
I don't know if you would listen
To a gypsy's prayer
In your house of peace and beauty
I don't know what to say
Except to ask that peace and beauty may come to us out there someday
Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer,
Need will be rarer,
Greed will not pay
God speed
This bright millennium
On its way
Let it come
Someday
Someday
My fight will be won then,
We'll stand in the sun then
That bright afternoon
Till then, on days
When the sun is gone
I'll hang on
Wish upon the moon
Change will come
One day, someday, soon"
The lyrics is beautiful ❤️
I got chills at the "wish upon the moon" part.
I got chills during the whole song!
It's just such an amazing vocal climax that can't be beaten
For everyone saying this should have been in the movie, you can take comfort in the fact that it's played during the movie credits, though sang by someone else.
I wish they had kept this. It would have been amazing to see. It sounds beautiful.
This is literally the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Doesn't matter which version, it just touches my heart. I have tears streaming down my face as I write this
I'm glad they still used it in the end credits ;-)
For this moment, 'God Help the Outcast' was most definitely the better choice. 'Someday' would have been better suited if they animated a scene of Esmeralda locked up and/or being led to her death; just as it was beautifully executed in the Berlin stage production of THBoND

Or if she sang it while on top of the cathedral with Quasi just before they climb down. I like this version MUCH better than one on the soundtrack (90's pop music.....eeeeeew).
In some shots Esmeralda looks like a hot actress in the late 80s and early 90s or like those pop stars you hear on radios
That's why I love it too. It's like the story of the Good Samaritan that those we least suspect can have the most goodness and humility.
I LOVE this song in the stage versions!
+Austin Myers great
The song itself is so beautiful and the German version in the German musical of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame
This version of the song brings me into tears every time I listen to it
good

why delete this it's wonderful, this movie always makes me cry i am a softy

Nemo003 why do think they won't faithful to its source I think it could have still made kid friendly maybe
Jane Adams Yeah, I think it would've worked if they added at least half an hour more plot to the movie. Though their reason for ultimately cutting it is understandable ("too grand, too early in the film").
TRUE lol
It's amazing how the producers managed to get a singer that has a pinch of that husky voice Demi Moore has
Gosh, these storyboards are beautiful! Does anyone know who drew them?
I think Paul and Gaten Britzzi
The people who do this storyboard... are just amazing.
Whoa I heard this song on the radio or somewhere before, and I didn't know it was originally for this movie! Amazing
I don't know for you but this has been my favourite movie since I saw it for the first time - I was 7 or 8. I don't remeber why I liked it so much at that age but when I watch it now I see how deep it is!

Ha ha.
I LOVE the song! So beautyful. :)
Its about time this video was found!!! AWESOME!!!!

I think this is my favorite version of this song. Thanks for posting it!
Haha. I can too, every time I heard while watching it the other day, I was like, "OMG. Someday!"
Teehee, my family though I was crazy.
I personally feel that Someday has a better progression and fits the set up better. It also helps that it isn't completely out of character like the movie version of God help the Outcasts is. Not using Someday I think was the biggest mistake they made in the development of this movie.
The scetches are trueling beautiful in this sequence, not to mention the singer is as well.
I totally agree with you. If they had such a scene in the movie that would be the place for the song. It was fitting in the stage production
I actually feel like this fits the situation better.

SUEÑA!!! CON UN MAÑAAAAANAAAAAAAAAAA~ *cries in spanish*
I remember that one. It's a very sad scene
These storyboard illustrations are gorgeous!
hey np! dissent is encouraged!
thx for not freakn out like some ppl would if they disagreed and so i completely respect your opinions! i also agree that both songs are so so beautiful
big for the moment? BIG DEAL! You two should have added another scene.. just for this spectacular song!
They did use this song in the movie. It's featured in the credits, but a different band sings it. maybe thats where you remember it from
In the film GHTO fits. But as a solo song, Someday is truly beautiful.
and it was the theme through out the entire movie as well!

Celtic Woman did a version of this song. That's how I know the song, its actually one of my favorites.
Beautiful drawings and I believe that this song sends out the message better than the song picked for the actual movie.
hey....the Celtic Women sing this song! I didn't know it was from Hunchback...awesome..
Wonderful ❤
LOL they don't know what they want XD I'm so picturing Alan like "Da heck...NOW YOU DON'T WANT IT?!" XD
Wow... I loved it. :)
Thanks for uploading shipperheart. :)
OMG. I never knew this song was written for this movie. I thought "Someday" was an old choir song or something cuz I used to listen to chloe sing this song!!!
It's so beautiful and its tear jerking
I'm glad God help the outcasts made it instead. I just love that song to much. :)
She did the talking voice ,Heidi did the singing
from what I can tell the song is added back to the storyline for the current La Jolla 2014 stage version.
Ohhh! This was at the end of the credits
=D I love this
they were right... "Someday" was way too grand for that particular moment in the film. But I'm glad they included it as the ending credits song.
me too, I think it was way too under appreciated in its time, the animation was sick ( in a good way!), the songs were friggin awesome, and yea! wish it was better noted , like no one in my class has seen it!
Someday is a beautiful song. Celtic Women did a version of it. :)
I know, right?
If me and my friends start a band then we could sing this song.
I like Eternal's version the most. This version is nice though. Quite different.
I wished they'd kept this in the film near the end (similar to the stage version) and sung also with Phoebus right before Esmeralda's execution :-(
It's in the German musical, Der Glockner Von Notre Dame, which is being re-vamped for the American stage. I think it's used after Frollo captures all the gypsies in the Court of Miracles (I haven't seen the show).
Because it was a deleted song I guess and maybe people don't feel like ripping it. And Disney doesn't want to give the US and Canada a special edition DVD with all the cool special features like this one. This WOULD be awesome to have on my iPod, but I'm okay with the All-4-One version.

I didn't mind the happy ending in the movie. I guess the stage production is more similar to the book, but that ending was very sad and disturbing.
I wish I could find a picture of Heidi Mollenhauer.
I adore this version
me too!
This song omg omg
God, disney used to produce legends!!!
yea...the music in hunchback is better than any other disney movie.
Atleast it survived to be in the credits...
I still think that's just a dream despite the love I've gotten and how society has changed. I feel it's more realistic that way.
Someday is a lovely song, but it didn't really fit the moment. In the stage musical it fits perfectly in the moment and it's one of the strongest numbers.
While I agree that it works better as a humbling moment in the context of the movie, this version of the scene is still beautiful. Now WHEN are they going to release an American 2-disc DVD with the deleted scenes and tons of other stuff?? The 10th anniversary came and went, the 15th anniversary came and went - how long do we have to wait???
i've definetely heard this song elsewhere.

I am SO glad they stuck with "God Help The Outcasts".
that was so pretty.
@xlefreakcestchic
I wish I could find anything of Heidi Mollenhauer. The poor woman seems to have disappeared.
yeah that was the version I heard first too. But I also have a more upbeat version sung by Donna Summer...Was this used as an ending theme to the movie? It's been so long I don't remember. It just seems weird that the song got out there without being used at all in the movie.
That clip was beautiful. I wish they animated it ^_^
Ya. Wonder how it would’ve looked like.
I kind of prefer this to God Help the Outcasts, but I love that song as well.
So I heard
@givemeyourhand89 I've never heard Phoebus sing in this movie.
could you please post the link to this list? thanks!
I like Someday very much but I'm glad they went with God Help the Outcasts, that song is better I think.
They should release the Mollenhauer/orchestra version of this.
That's what they do in the musical.
@shipperheart
Yeah, I prefer the much happier ending to the original movie (in which Esmeralda survives and is free to pursue a relationship with Phoebues once Frollo is gone) myself.
yes, you're right. it transitions the jail to the pyre
It was good, but I definitely like God Help The Outcasts better. That one seems more fitting for her situation.
This song is nice, but God help the Outcast in better in the show. Someday is a rather hopeful song, and Esmeralda is feeling rather sad at the moment
@givemeyourhand89 are there video recordings of that German Production?
lol completely agree!
Esmeralda dies, Quasimodo lives
i agree with the directors on this. but hey, Someday wasn't completely lost All-4-One did a great version during the end credits ^^
