"Standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow overwhelm it" He does not want to slay the beast as he knows what it is like to be the beast.
The reason this song is so good for me is because he speaks who he always imagine his life instead of being an ogre. He wanted to be the heroes from the stories. He wanted to explore, to inspire, to be loved. The part he says “a big, bright, beautiful world” really tells he wanted that instead of what his parents said about being an ogre.
3:22 "And carry her away" gives me chills all the time, so goooddd
So true
1:38 this perfectly timed voice break is what cements this as my favorite version of shrek
It’s so good! I keep replaying it!!
My favorite too I can sing it all the time
can we take a second to appreciate the MIXING?!
to paraphrase another musical, GOD THAT'S GOOD.
I see what you did there, lol!
You don't have to dream of being a hero, Shrek...you are one. 🤗🥰
Yes so shrexy
Don’t know why, but him singing all alone at 1:41 always gives me chills because of how good it is.
I’ve watched this musical too many times, but not enough
2:52 My favorite part of the musical.
I played this pit for a big local production of this, I had a blast playing trumpet!
my favorite song in this musical i cant.
It’s upsetting how good this song is.
One of my absolute favorite musicals. This cast was perfect!! So glad Netflix picked it up a few years ago and its getting new attention almost 10 years later 🙌🏿🙌🏿
I love this song, it gives so much depth to Shrek.
I love that they gave him bushy eyebrows as Brian has those. A little bit of Brian showing through 2:09
I would sit on nails as long as I could listen to brian sing.
i swear to god i cry every time i hear this song
I do too!! I'm weeping right now!!
I listen to this song all the time, I swear this video is both slightly sped up and has distorted audio
It definitely is sped up cause on the album you can hear Brian D’arcy James rich baritone voice and here he seems to have the brightness and lightness of a tenor voice
It’s shifted up a minor 2nd
this is for copyright reasons, so-
My favorite song from this musical ❤❤❤❤❤
OMG... THIS SONG! THIS SONG!!!! ♥ I love this cast (and the song, of course...)
If Shrek hadn’t sung in Act 1 until now, this would’ve been better
Imagine how much more significant this song would have felt if Shrek didn't actually sing because his characterization as a grump who doesn't go along with the genre was kept intact until this moment.
I personally think its better like this, mainly bc the point is he's opening up or letting go of that grumpiness to tell his dreams
Love that idea tho
@@babyzillakilla true
Shrek: the talkical
@@idontdovarioustasks
Are you suggesting a play or like a play where the characters are talking with music playing in the background where the characters don’t actually sing the songs?
i can't stop replaying 2:52
I'm incredibly excited to be doing Shrek Jr. (especially since I'm playing Shrek), but I'm a little upset that this song was removed from the Jr. version, as i think it adds so much to Shrek's character. It's also just a really good song.
ARE YOU FR? ITS THE BEST SONG IN THE WHOLE MUSICAL 😭😭😭
JUST CLOSED LAST WEEK!! ( I played fiona) I understand it was probably intentional due too the vocals probably cut too make it easier for younger voices.
@@dayday5776 Yeah, and plus it's not like the song NEEDS to be there in order for the story to make sense. Songs like Forever and I Know It's Today are essential in understanding the story, while this song is more so just added for flavor.
@@mack_r-s Yeah for sure
Is the fourth one I love Shrek musical and I've watched it about 14 times
God, I hate the studio version of this, I wish the live version was on spotify!
Its a shame that this song isn't in Shrek the Musical Jr.
Why would they skip this song
@@pink-a-palouza7888 I guess they want to shorten it.
@@pink-a-palouza7888I think it's mainly because if you compare it to other songs like I know It's Today and Forever, Who I'd Be is not AS essential to the plot as those other ones (as in, it can be cut from the musical with little consequences). If I know It's Today and Forever were cut, we wouldn't get to see Fiona or the dragon's key characteristics and motives, and the story wouldn't make sense anymore. Meanwhile with Shrek, we can still understand his character without Who I'd Be, even if it's more simple than in the full version.
BDJ is the perfect Shrek
He great actor as shrek
this is so funny pitched up a whole step. why did they do that to this video
Shame you can’t hear the majestic brass fanfares! But other than that, a beautiful version of this powerhouse act one closing number.
🎵 but we all learn but we all learn an ogre alway hide an ogre faith is know an ogre alway stay in the dark and all alone 🎵 1:26 2:52
I 😂❤
😂😂😂
1:32
The playlist on Spotify is not good
Wdym? Shrek the musical is amazing!!
Shrek singing about him being a hero is the most UnShrekiest thing I could imagine.
hes singing about WANTING to be a hero
If you watched the full musical, you would understand
Let's explore that claim.
Shrek never wanted to be the bad guy he was forced into that life by a prejudiced society.
As an ogre he is destined to be the bad guy, it makes sense that the alternative would seem so attractive.
you... you didn't watch shrek 2 right?
Not so shrexy of him
I don't know if I should be impressed by the cosplay or laugh(not in a bad way). I'm having mixed feelings
Cosplay?
It's not cosplay if it's live theater, dude. It's just a costume.
@@Allycat-VA182Someone who doesn't know the difference between Comic Con and live theater, apparently.
@@etcetera1995 It's laughable
Cosplay? Lol.
The only good song in the musical lmao
I thought morning person was pretty good
honestly all the songs are really good, some of them just don’t compare to others. like the opening title is probably my favorite just cause of shrek’s run at the end
Agreed
i literally love every song 😂
just wrong 😭
