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.
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.
@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.
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
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 love this song... letting somebody else decide your problems for you... of course, later in the story she has to make choices for herself and can't just push it off to other people...
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
I like this version because it’s more of Cinderella being so indesisve, and the other ones are more like, OH MY GOD, PRINCE KISS ME!! She’s just like, what should I do. So, it’s more relatable.
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? 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
Hey everyone so my friends and I are putting on this musical performance (we have a license) and If you live in AZ then you can come! Comment for any questions
+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 :)

Cinderella: "For example..."
Me: *whispers* "A shoe."
Same
LOL😂😂😂
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
"The third night of the festival was thrown into chaos when Cinderella ran from her prince. AGAIN."
Like take a hint bro
"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
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.
@@taylorelise3102 it's an Eb scrooge.

+Johanna L I wish I could find my shoe.
TRUTH
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
2:44 bless you
Andrew Smith lol
Oml
Lmaoo
Halley I feel so stupid for laughing at this
XD
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?"
Social Anxiety the Song XD
Kelsey Bordeaux totally relate
No, that's Michael in the Bathroom.
@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.
@@kaleidits8390 MITB is Michael having a panic attack.
rhiannonbway yeah but not because of social anxiety
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
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 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!!
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
Love the fact almost all the lyrics have sentences ending in question marks
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
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
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 😎
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
I told my singing teacher I know this song. I do not. The regret is instant. I have a week to learn this
She's a damn fine singer! Such a beautiful and clear voice!
Thank you, for the lyrics of on the Steps of the Palace Thank you La Vie Boheme
This song really shows off her voice, I love this so much :)
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
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!
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
If Anna Kendrick isn't in "Frozen 2", I will hate the world forever.
+Nostalgicgirl Kendricked
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
My all time gave song
On the steps of the palaccccccccceeeeeeeeee
LOVE HER VOICE!!!!!!!!
many people have mixed felings about into the woods but its by far my favorite movie
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??
That last note was just amazing :D
ughhhhhhh that last note strikes right through me UGH TOO GOOD
I really love how they handled this in the film, with everything freezing while she thinks.
love the fact that i was the narrator in the Jr. version 3 years ago and still remember this song
I love her voice! Such a beautiful voice!
holy shit high notes
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!
Whoop whoop just think I found my go to audition song. In My Dreams was tearing my butt up 😂
Tongue Twisters: The Musical
love this! I'm auditioning for a musical and this helps sooo much!!! like for real awesome!
Krazie Kitty same here 😂
"Still Standing Stuck in the Stuff on these Steps" YES.
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...
1:52 note for self 😻
Thank so much for this since I'm singing this song for my school Caberet Night and I didn't know all the words
i love this song... letting somebody else decide your problems for you... of course, later in the story she has to make choices for herself and can't just push it off to other people...

2019 anyone??
No just me ok
Me too!
Memories
Into the woods is the best movie! 💕
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
I like this version because it’s more of Cinderella being so indesisve, and the other ones are more like, OH MY GOD, PRINCE KISS ME!! She’s just like, what should I do. So, it’s more relatable.
1:10 Audition Cut
Holy Tongue twisters😭💀
Into the woods is d best movie ever
Trying out for Cinderella and I’m crossing my fingers.
The song starts at 0:36
Cinderella: For example..... a shoe
Me: Bless you
3:01 OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
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
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’m auditioning for Cinderella in my schools play wish me luck ❤
I’m doing the same musical but the Jr and I got Cinderella what did you get?
@@connie..I got lucinda but I was rlly happy with that part! Just finished the show
@@cockroacheatingakrabbypatt994 ooo ok!
I love this song
Just love into the wood's songs
this is joy my new favorite music
Might be doing musical theatre to this song.
Wish me luck, I’m auditioning for the musical next week! I’m so nervous!!
My school is doing this for our spring musical :)
SO AMAZING
Sing this all the time and always in a sweat when I'm done 😂😂😂
Might sing for my school musical auditions next year
i love this in so many ways😍😍
This is the smartest written song ever
pray for me guys I need to sing this for my audition tomorrow and I'm just learning it
I had to sing this for a recital when I was a kid. Me and my tiny alto vocal range...
I do so love this music
i love this song!!!!
I'm going to use this song to audition for Katherine from Newsies!
I love Anna's voice into the woods and pitch perfect can she get any better?!? 😄
I am so good at the long words as I practice so much
I LOVE THIS SONG AS THERE IS A LOT OF HEADVOCIE
I love this music
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
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
Hey everyone so my friends and I are putting on this musical performance (we have a license) and If you live in AZ then you can come! Comment for any questions
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
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. 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 :)
+Meagan Guidroz it alternates between 9/8 and 6/8
Any tips for not breathing long enough to belt this?
At least this cinderella has a personality
Haha theme song for my life XD
I have to audition with this I'm so fricking scared help
Ahhh doing this song for an audition
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
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
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
Once you're there, though, it's scary
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
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
Though at home they don't care
I'll be better of there
Where there's nothing to choose
So there's nothing to lose
So I'll pry up my shoes
Wait no 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 is stuck with a shoe
In a stew, in the goo
And I've learned something, too
Something i never knew
On the steps of the palace
0:38 to use for my auditIon!!!
I love Disney movies
If a prince wanted to marry me, I would let him.
Things dont have to COLLIIIIIIIIIIIDE
i have to get this song right for my play bc i play cinderella 😭
Me too

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
Wait-- what did she learn?
Basically what her two options are and what she wants and what her choice is... which is not choosing.
