"In the future, there will be neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance, nor bloody retaliation.... In the future no one will kill anyone else, the earth will beam with radiance, the human race will love. The day will come ... when all will be concord, harmony, light, joy and life." -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, 1862
Michael Arden said that this song sounded like it could've been written a thousand years ago and he's right. Its timeless in its relevance, beauty, and ability to connect.
I don't know, in a film that already had The Bells of Notre Dame and Hellfire, this really does feel like a worthy big showstopper. As is, the soundtrack is already Disney's heaviest and most hard-hitting. Adding Someday to that I feel would've really put it into a field of its own.
There are actually hints all throughout the movie with this melody! I just never heard them before this musical! Especially when she's walking up the steps to release Quasi
@@tigorelloensil3676 Only these? Racism, prejudice, political, national and religious fanatism, wrong social idols, obsession with video games and social media....
Idk but my eyes all puffy because of the ONIONS, not because of anything else... I mean, what reason do I have to cry?.. Heheh..hehe... **Starts Sobbing**
When I watched the stage recording of this song, the part that got me was when they sang "Let it come someday" together for the first time. Phoebus puts his hand on Esmeralda's face and she hold it and cries. It's wild to see her break down while trying to stay strong. She knows she is going to die and has finally found someone that will understand her and be with her until the end. Both Quasi and Frollo were obsessed with her (Quasi became enamoured with her after she was the first person to genuinely show kindness to him and he saw her as pure and angelic, Frollo is ovb) but Phoebus was the only one to treat her as an equal and love her truly. uggghhhh I love this song.
Ummm... sadly in the book Quasi is the one who truly loved her. Even in the stage version I feel at first there wasn’t that deep love there. At this moment I think finally there is more to the relationship and the boy becomes a man in the end. Still don’t downplay Quasi
akvar02 I get where you are coming from. At the start he really was a creep. I kinda felt his feelings for Esmeralda, especially at the end, helped him to become a man I like more. At first yes he is a total F boy
[ESMERALDA] I used to believe In the days I was naive That I'd live to see A day of justice dawn And though I will die Long before that morning comes I'll die while believing still It will come when I am gone 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 let live Someday Life will be fairer [PHOEBUS] Life will be fairer [ESMERALDA] Need will be rarer [PHOEBUS] Need will be rarer [ESMERALDA] Greed will not pay [PHOEBUS] Greed will not pay [ESMERALDA] Godspeed [PHOEBUS] Godspeed [ESMERALDA] This bright millennium [PHOEBUS] This bright millennium [ESMERALDA] On it's way [BOTH] Let it come someday [PHOEBUS] When the world's older When things have changed [BOTH] Someday These dreams will all be real Till then, we'll Wish upon the moon Change will come [PHOEBUS] One day [ESMERALDA] Someday [BOTH] Soon
Megan Robertson the opening was rewritten after the original intro was used for “God Help The Outcasts.” This is truly the “I Dreamed A Dream” moment for Esmeralda. “Someday” Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Performed by Ciara Renee & Andrew Samonsky (C) 1996, 1999 The Walt Disney Company
I totally love this song! You can feel the mixture of pain and hope. It's so bittersweet. Esmeralda's been screwed over and yet she STILL has hope. I wish I could say the same of me, but no. My faith isn't as strong as Esmeralda's.
What breaks my heart is that this is a prayer of a character in the medieval dark ages, about the 1300's. People were facing disease due to poor living conditions, religious persecution and ethnic cleansing, and starvation due to poverty. If you look around, and I mean REALLY look around, not much has changed, has it?
As an historian, what breaks my heart is that people still think that Medieval era was a dark age. It was not darker than any other era, and, as you say it, every period has its flaws. Please remember that this song does not reflect the accuracy of medieval era: it's a song from a musical, inspired by a movie, inspired by a romantic novel set in 1482 (and not the 1300s, which was a completely different period). We're far from historical accuracy here. I hope this doesn't seem critical. What I mean is that it's perfectly okay to enjoy this musical, as long as one keeps in mind that it is not a documentary about 1482 Paris.
@@BridgessDePerle As a history fan as well, I agree with you, but at the same time, it was still a shitty time too, with plagues, wars and religious persecution, not to mention a huge portion of the population was poor
@@BridgessDePerle I was under the impression that "the dark ages" is the name because we don't have many historical documents from that era, and not much survived from that time to tell us about it. Dark ages as in "we're in the dark about what happened"
This song is so sad, but is even sadder thinking the lyrics concords so much with the time we're going through... I really hope the change will come soon. I really hope it.
True, we must fight, but we need to remember it's a never-ending battle. As long as there is humanity, there will always be change, for better or worse. Though it's easy to think in absolutes, it's not realistic. We'll never have complete, everlasting world peace, just as we will never have complete, everlasting worldwide suffering. But we can have peace in one place at a time if we work hard enough. Unfortunately, those who seek to destroy that peace will always return to tear it down, but if we lose hope, sit by and let them do it, then the cycle, which must continue, will not continue. All we can do is our best. We will win, and then we will lose, but when we lose one fight, we can win the next. Such is the nature of the world, till all is dust. .... I am writing this at 3:30 AM... Sorry if I'm not making sense... XD
CoriSparks don’t worry. It made perfect sense and I agree. This is anthem for those who want to change and takes the steps to do so. The road will be long but worth it in the end
This song is so heartbreakingly beautiful and Ciara Renèe has a gorgeous voice. When I watch or listen to the news and hear whats happening nationally or worldwide and I feel small and powerless, my mind always wanderers to this song and it's message. I hope that "Someday" comes soon. 😢
and to think Victor Hugo wrote this book to bring attention to the fact that we should preserve our historical buildings. And now its this witch i cant say im mad about
"I used to believe, in the days I was naive, that I'd live to see a day of justice dawn." As someone who was roughened by the pandemic, this line hits so differently than back when I was a freshman first hearing this song 3-4 years ago...
I'm so happy this was put in the stage show, it's such a beautiful song that was originally just on the movie soundtrack, the emotion coming from Esmeralda and Phoebus, it makes me teary
I was so privileged to be in the choir last March when our local theater group performed this stage play. I cannot put into words how truly amazing it was. Our principals had the most AMAZING voices, and I pretty much cried at every single rehearsal.
This song makes think so much of Anne Frank. Despite being near death in a Nazi concentration camp, she never once lost hope, or faith in the world. "And though I will die long before that morning comes, I'll die while believing still it will come when I am gone...."
Hunchback the only show I haven't just cried but full on wept watching. My goodness when Disney do the live action one if they can capture the feeling the stage show leaves you with it will be incredibly powerful. Not to mention a strong awards contender.

I wonder if this is Alan Menken reflecting on his life and his loss of his close friend (Howard Ashman) to a disease that particularly targeted him because of his sexuality. Like the rights of outcasts (LGBT, black, etc. rights) aren't quite perfect yet but (a) they're better than they were when Ashman was alive and (b) perhaps Menken, though this song, is expressing hope for the future.
I mean the plot of the movie goes well before the songwriters are brought in. This was written for the movie, but cut and moved to the credits, but it was there.
"And though I will die long before that morning comes, I'll die while believing still it will come when I am gone...." Does anyone else think of Anne Frank when they hear that line? I don't know why, but images of Anne Frank flash before my eyes when I hear it...
I love this song, and connecting it with Anne Frank doesn't seem inapproriate, but your comment reminds me that there's an excellent, undeer-appreciated Michael Cohen-Enid Futterman musical based on THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, called YOURS, ANNE (it premiered Off-Broadway in 1985, and in 1996 was adapted into a song cycle called I AM ANNE FRANK).
This song is currently being used as a finale in Epcot's new fireworks show called "Harmonious" to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World.
I’ve never heard this song before but I’ve heard it so many times. It’s one of those songs that will always be familiar whether it’s the first or one hundredth time you hear it.
Got to sing the opening solo for this beautiful piece of music with my entire high school choral department...one of my favorite pieces of music. Absolutely beautiful musically and emotionally!
While I sympathize with your intentions this song does not really apply to the lost of a building. It is about the suffering of people and the injustices faces by the lesser. The lost of a building that has become more of a tourist destination does not really apply to this song. I enjoyed seeing Notre Dame but this song is about something more than just a building.
ESMERALDA I used to believe In the days I was naive That I'd live to see A day of justice dawn And though I will die Long before that morning comes I'll die while believing still It will come when I am gone 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 ESMERALDA / PHOEBUS Someday Life will be fairer Need will be rarer Greed will not pay Godspeed This bright millennium On its way Let it come someday CHORUS 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 ESMERALDA There are some days Black and bitter It seems we haven't got a prayer PHOEBUS But a prayer for something better PHOEBUS / ESMERALDA Is the one thing we all share CHORUS We all share We all share ALL We all share...

After reading the book, I don't think Victor Hugo could have cared less about the gypsies. He called the Court of Miracles a hornet's nest and seemed to be under the impression that they were all criminals and child-stealers. In fact he was closer to Disney's characterization of Claude.
@@thegizzardofmars7453 Yeah, nobody can really argue that Hugo had some messed up views. He doesn't even seem to care all that much about the characters he writes - they're just props to illustrate his philosophy. But I do agree with OP, because his whole philosophy is basically that the world sucks, but someday it'll be better. And that hope in a future utopia is what this whole song is about, ya know? :)
I’ve loved this musical but I never found this song more relevant than today. This is the anthem of the outcome of the Philippine Elections… Someday Philippines, someday… someday you’ll be better, even if that means we’ll be gone
This song was glorious from the start. But after Phoebus joins in and they do a duet, it becomes an epic masterpiece worthy of praise. And don't get me started on the lyrics and message behind it
"In the future, there will be neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance, nor bloody retaliation.... In the future no one will kill anyone else, the earth will beam with radiance, the human race will love. The day will come ... when all will be concord, harmony, light, joy and life."
-Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, 1862
i wonder if he knows the condition of the world we live in rn. i guess we'll just have to keep waiting for *that day*
In other words even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise
the dude predicted Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism
Phoebus' line in the Finale, "Why not make someday come right now?!" fits so much with this song and the musical. I love it so much!
Michael Arden said that this song sounded like it could've been written a thousand years ago and he's right. Its timeless in its relevance, beauty, and ability to connect.
This song has never been more relevant, it just hits closer and closer to home every day
THANK YOU
100 % agreed.
Took the words right out if my mouth
Agreed.
Which is why they reworked it for the end credits and got All 4 One to perform it!

Did u ever experience 'someday?
@@noistune5707 no. 😞
@KatSpectra keep looking. Maybe if it never comes to you, you can make one of your own💞
Even Disney knew this damn song was too heavy for the film
They put a version of it over the end credits of the film. They changed it so they could use it in the musical.
@@trueblue6201 I know. I think it was All 4 One. They did an excellent job.
I don't know, in a film that already had The Bells of Notre Dame and Hellfire, this really does feel like a worthy big showstopper.
As is, the soundtrack is already Disney's heaviest and most hard-hitting. Adding Someday to that I feel would've really put it into a field of its own.
Yeah, and I'm glad they saved it because I think it's even more powerful in the musical since it doesn't have a happy ending like the movie does.
There are actually hints all throughout the movie with this melody! I just never heard them before this musical! Especially when she's walking up the steps to release Quasi
I dedicate this song to the people of Palestine and all the outcast of the world.
End the occupation
What really upsets me is that it's 2019 and the song is still relevant for many groups of people
I was just thinking this :(
I can't believe that in most areas I visit, casual homophobia, transphobia, and sexism are still prominent. :(

That, that really hurt.

we did this musical at my school last year and just listening makes me miss it so much 😫
Very positive lyrics,
Sadness with absolute faith
Hello depression, my old friend! Was wondering where you were
I never comment on videos but this shatters me so much; I literally sob every time I listen to this song.
Brings tears to my eyes everytime
2020 here I am binge watching the movie's songs
We need this TODAY. 💜
Stunning! So applicable to the times we're living in.

It is impossible to not cry on this.
I love how the beginning sounds like the beginning of “God Help the Outcasts” from the movie
@Adam Ostrowski Thank you for uploading this. For uploading all the songs and making a playlist. Im happy it hasn't been taken down.
"Spira, Spera (Breathe, Hope)"

BRING THIS ON BROADWAY NOW!
Absolutely beautiful!
My very most favorite Disney song ❤️
This is a song from Disney I wanna see get a lot more attention.
So glad to see this have a new life in Epcot's Harmonious!
Someday is basically Somewhere from West Side Story
So powerful and painfully truthful
This song was glorious from the start. But after Phoebus joins in and they do a duet, it becomes an epic masterpiece worthy of praise.
And don't get me started on the lyrics and message behind it
What a beautiful song. The waterworks are real.
This song remids me so much of Imagine.
Wow just wow!
I'm listening to this song like yo when is this day gonna come cause I'm still waiting ??????
Bring on the tissues...❤️ It's like it was written for 2020.
2:59 MAGIC
Some day soon, I sure do hope
This is like the song “Vivre” from the French Canadian musical 😍
one of the best musicals ive ever seen. i always come back to this album. the cast, the score, everything is perfect.
Today marks a tragic day for our beloved Notre Dame fallen to ashes.
What a beautiful vibrato
"Someday" still has not come yet ;-;
Alot of people are saying that this song is romantic, when no litterally they are saying goodbye to each other and the world.
Beautiful song. I first heard this from Voctave. I can’t believe I missed this from Hunchback of Notre Dame. I wish everyone will listen to this. 🙏
I'm sooooooooo excited to go see this done by Utah Festival Opera this summer!!!!!!! I'm sure it will be amazing!!!
This song to me is heartbreaking because it makes me think of 2020 and the news today and it breaks my heart. I wanna write a song just like this.
This is so much better than the movie version. Wow
This song is beautiful but I couldn't imagine it in the 1996 movie instead of "God Help the Outcasts"
That's good, because the musical has both!
