- before i say anything else:
julia michaels, if you are reading this, i have nothing against you. i will place no judgement on you personally for the quality of these songs and how they arrived in the final film. writing a musical is hard! writing a musical for disney is even harder! from one songwriter to another, i will make no assumptions about the conditions under which you had to write these songs.
but something... happened to wish. something with wish did not work. to everyone who worked on this film, i commend the presumably countless sleepless nights putting it together. but the final film is... a bit baffling? it made me really sad as a lifelong disney fan to watch, and i don't think that was their goal. it lacked the... magic? depth? storytelling? a plot? music with a consistent sense of lyrical thought or rhythm?
my friends and i got particularly obsessed with the music not sounding quite right since it first started being previewed. obsession lead to tinkering, lead to a full rewrite of the flagship song. i could talk for hours about my process and intention here, but all that matters is that asha feels like she has a true and clear purpose. i think i got it there, despite my lackluster skills at wrangling a digital orchestra.
thank you for listening.
especially you, julia michaels. i hope you're having a lovely day.

lyrics:
So I'm here at wits end
Running far off the road I had planned
If it's one against many, what then can you do?
When everyone's counting on you?
So with what I've trusted thrust aside.
With nowhere I can turn to but the sky
Like a fool, staring idle
If it's true, I know I will-
Take a chance,
It's worth the try
So I'm asking now,
Tonight
Can I make this wish?
Even though there's part of me that is,
Doubting you exist
Cause there must be more for us than this.
Let me make this wish,
Just to hear the magic if I listen
To the wisdom you could give.
Please just let me make
A difference
I'd make it for you.
If it could come true.
So what if someone's wish is naive?
Why deny them the possibility?
Like a river that must meet the sea,
There's a dam, I won't stand,
'Til the day that they're free.
But the river's just a drop.
Like a precious and private little thought.
Like a wish that you're scared if you want-
That there's some kind of cost-
Like you've lost self control.
That's the story we're told.
But I just know-
I can make this wish.
Even if it's foolish.
I will make this wish.
To find out what the truth is.
If you grant one wish tonight:
Tell me why you'd let someone deny,
Their every hope and dream?
Well this isn't a game to me.
I believed in the role I played
So I just need to know there's a way
We can wish on the stars in the sky
Without fear someone else will decide
I wish for your pity on them.
I wish for the time that they've spent-
Only wishing and falling for lies they were calling
Their hope to end
I wish for my people to be
Happy or somehow just feeling complete?
Permission to just... exist.
To follow their dreams as they see fit.
So I make this wish.
For me, him, all of them.
So I make this wish.
And I will make
A difference - เพลง
This sounds like it's sung by an Asha who has been a sorcerer's apprentice for some time, which I think she should have been. She's green but grounded, she's frustrated by feeling powerless even with magic and status, and she has a better idea of what she's wishing for. Well done.
If there's one good thing about Wish being such a soulless finished project, it's that people who have the talent and passion for Disney magic like you coming out of the woodwork.
so fun fact, i wrote most of this *before* seeing the movie, and had assumed... that was the plot? that she *had* been magnifico's apprentice for some time and she was just now learning the truth behind his magic. it was the thing that made my friends and i most shocked and confused when we realized she had zero existing relationship with magnifico.
anyway, thank you, thank you! if i owe wish anything it's that it's made me want to write songs like this more, and it's been fun pushing myself further and further into studying why i love the lyricism and storytelling of people like howard ashman so much.
@@hpheislerI honestly think it came out great! Makes me want to create a storyboard of it ngl lol
Also, did you assume that her grandfather was apart of the reason why Asha is against the king? I watched the film (i plan on watching it again to give a better review) and I found it very selfish in This Wish since half of the kingdom doesn't have her wish granted, but this just is more better and understanding than what we got :')
Dude, apprentice Asha sounds AMAZING??? Imagine her using magical spells and tools that Magnífico always describes as “básic” and “elementary”, very visually simple when compared to Magnifico’s more flashy and large sorcery, but she uses these basic tools to great effect because she’s observant and creative and quick-witted. OH MY GOD THE FUMBLED POTENTIAL
@@juanpablorobayo3437EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKIN
@hpheisler I also assumed this based on the plot and the trailers! I thought she had already been his apprentice for a while. It was lame that she was aiming to be but hadn't be accepted yet.
This is really great. It's actually sounds like she's wishing on the star. In the original it sounds like she just blabbering. But this? This is how you write an "I want" song. And the subtle "when you wish upon a star" leit motif is- *mwuah*
Wait where do you hear that leitmotif?
@@octosquid48 It's really subtle but it starts about here 1:35
Edit : I can hear it around 3:47 too. There might be more but that's all I heard
This version of this song sounds so passionate 😭 I wish this was in the film man
Can you do a This is The Thanks i get rewrite?everyone has been roasting this song since It's been revealed,anyway this is the definition of underrated
oh there is a draft of it half written don't you worry it just might be a bit due to other commitments. 🙊
Can we wait for the rest of the songs in the movie @@hpheisler?
@@hpheisler I am looking forward to it so much!!!!
Somebody should totally do a Wish animatic with your song
This is so much better, the vocal and the vibes gives the Disney Renaissance era music.
I absolutely love this. I will forever feel robbed of what we could've had
The concept art looked so good like Star had a human form and was Asha’s love interest and both Magnifico and Amaya were evil.
This is my personal rewrite
Asha would be Magnifico and Amaya’s actual daughter and so she grew up thinking that keeping the wishes was the right thing. I would also make her personality more similar to Elsa and Mulan rather than Rapunzel and Anna. She’s smart and serious but also stubborn.
(Little nitpick but I would also change her design to look more like her concept art. She would have her natural hair out and her color palette more orange and red. When I think purple I think Rapunzel and Isabella.)
Magnifico I would go the sympathetic route since it honestly works better for him. I would make that due to a traumatic experience he’s now a very paranoid man who truly just wants to keep everyone safe and he picks wishes that he deems best for everyone.
Amaya would also be traumatized but instead of focusing on wishes she focuses on appearance. Like she wants her family to look good to the kingdom so that they don’t question them and believe that they’re all safe.
The seven friends could be people who work around the castle and Asha then helps them throughout the story. I also like the betrayal but I like to imagine that Simon has a crush on Asha so he wants to be the greatest knight in order to hopefully impress her.
That’s perfect to make her the king and queens kid because it makes her an actual Disney princess but also subverting the dead birth parents trope
What Disney should have done is make Asha the apprentice or family of Magnifico already and then when she finds out about the wishes on her 18th birthday, she runs off and INTENTIONALLY makes a wish. I fee like it'd have a lot more impact.
Wait a dang minute… THIS WAS MADE USING SYNTHV?! I thought a person was singing this, and I’ve been listening to Vocaloid and SynthV for YEARS. Phenomenal tuning good sir
i have to keep saying i swear it's just synthV's AI takes being so so so good. i did like no manual tuning beyond phoneme duration & strength editing. 😳
@@hpheisler oh dang. Sorry I’m used to SynthV Lite cause broke so It’s so weird knowing that the software can do that.
@@Lady_ETHNE no it's okay i'm just like oh i need to make sure credit where credit is due. if you ever decide to save up and pick it up on sale i 100% recommend it b/c hot damn.
@@hpheisler wait this isnt sung by a person?
@@AnsophOfficial vocal synth
This adds so much more character to Asha, it feels more disney than Disney itself!!!
Oh my God, this is so perfect, so magical. It sounds like a real Disney Music and better than the entire film soundtrack. Even Asha's Tree looks more Enchanted! I really loved it, I felt young rewatching Disney classics
This is what Wish should have been. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!
Ahhhhhhhhh I LOVE IT! CHANGING THE “I MAKE A WISH” statement to a question gives ASHA some kind of vulnerability which gives her personality and would do wonders for her character when later in the movie she changes this hesitation into something braver by singing the final song “So I make this wish” in the final battle (if we keep the battle scene in the movie I mean which in my opinion also needs work but what can you do lol).
WE WOULD GET CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!😭😭😭😭
JUMPS UP AND DOWN YESSSSS THIS IS SO COOL I LOVE SEEING OTHER PEOPLE DOING REWRITTEN VERS OF THE SONGS !!
This version is better than in the movie
Absolutely amazing. It’s great to see people who aren’t just shitting on this movie, but seeing it for its potential and sharing their ideas for how to improve it. It would be so cool if everyone who’s been doing rewrites, redesigns, etc. for this movie could pair up with some of the original writers and artists to make a new and improved Wish.
This is awesome. I just watched a video of why the original song was vague and repetitive. I like that your version explains more of what happens in the movie and is more story telling. (Coming from someone who hasn’t watched the movie.)
How is this not viral yet??? This is fantastic!!!
THIS IS AO GOOD???? THE INSTRUMENTALS COMPLEMENT THIS PERFECTLY
I wish this has more views
this is so much sweeter, it actually sounds like she's hopeful and asking to the stars
THIS IS AN AMAZING VERSION PLEASE
It feels better than the actual Wish song(no hard feelings disney) since this one states what the main character yearns(or, what they could have yearned) just like the previous good disney songs
I just found this at random, and THIS IS AMAZING. I've been working on a 'Wish' rewrite, and this perfectly captures what I've been aiming for with the story.
Why does this sound infinitely better than the original?
So, embarrassing thing to ask
I rewrote Wish completely for a MLP fanfiction because I was bored and I got heavily attached to the concept ToT. Now I have stumbled on this video and it’s SO much better than the original song! May I make an animatic with it? I will give you all the credit for audio, and link this video and your channel! It’ll be posted on both Instagram and TH-cam and I PROMISE all the credit for the music will go to you!
Oh my god please please please please I'm was a ground zero pony fan and this would make me cry for the next year straight!?
@@hpheisler YIPPPEEEEE THANK YOUUU Im listening to your music rn and its so PRETTYYY! That league song??? Holy shit????
Pasa el link del fanfic, plis 😊
Link for the fic plz
its a ponygram, I'm not even finished with prepwork yet ToT@@splashnskillz37
Now this Is an ‘I want’ song!✨
Omg wow this is so beautiful my jaw dropped when i was eating the writing and music and especially the beautiful singing just wow absolutely fantastic job ❤
This is so good, i love it, i rewrote WISH in my head and this fits perfecly with my version of Asha. Also i not sure if you know that in the original version of WISH there was a Star Boy, but this line 1:00 fits the concept so interestingly although i saw you wrote this before the movie came out.
This needs like a million views.
i love the changes you made! especially the 2nd verse. in this ver asha has humility and responsibility. 💖
1:40 i hear "i wanna be where the people are" tune 😃
i also love how you acknowledged all the creatives who worked on the movie. we can clearly see they had better versions. i blame the suits for it turning out like that. if we, the audience, feel shitted on, how much more so the team who worked on it.
whhwhw??? this is so good?? criminally underrated, you did such a good job and i was shocked when i saw there were less than like 100k likes. kudos, this is absolutely wonderful
your version is so much prettier and passionate!!
SO I MAKE THIS WISH! TO HAVE SOMETHING MORE FOR US THAN THIS! (me after watching the movie, we could've got so much more)
DUDE THIS IS SO BEAUTIFULLLLL
YOUR SO UNDERRATED, YOU HAVE LOVELY TUNING
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED DOING THIS FOR MORE SONGS?
1) i cannot take credit for the tuning synthv is an unreasonable good program that does 99% of the work for you i just write nice melodies for it.
2) YES BUT I AM BUT ONE BUSY MAN.
Please let Disney hire you
This sounds like a plea for divine help, which honestly is way more thematically appealing than the movie's generic, kind of self-absorbed "protest" song.
I absolutely love your version of Asha’s I want song! I’m far from being musically gifted, but I knew there was something off with the rhythm and contents of the song, so I’m glad your version fixed some of those issues.
I might jump on the bandwagon of Wish rewrites cuz it rly excites me that ppl are taking their own artistic liberties with the story (and they’re super cool 😆). Even I was thinking about how the art of the original movie could be better. Could I use your song to make an animatic?
thank you, thank you, and permission granted! 🎉
This is magnificent! I adore the music and lyrics! I wish that the quality of Disneys content wasn’t going down, but the magic lives on through people like you!
I LOVE THIS AHH I HATE LISTENING TO WHAT COULDVE BEEN 😭 making me WISH this is what I want got but at least now we have it
I have chills! Very EXCELLENT job!
I think this is a beautiful rewrite!! Fantastic backround art and beautiful vocals too. And I can't forget the instrumental. You did amazing
I’m writing a Wish fanfiction on whattpad and this has captivated me. The way you sing it and the lyrics are so passionate and full of emotion ❤ May I include the song in the story? Ofc I’ll give you credits 🥺😭✨
of course, of course! the fact this is inspiring other fan works is making me so happy... i got so attached to asha while writing this and the idea of all of us running rogue with her is so fun.
also unfortunately i can't take credit for the singing, this is the vocal synthesizer synthesizerV using the "natalie" voicebank! it's like vocaloid, but it's the future so it's gotten unbelievably good.
Tysm!!! Trust me when I say I loved your artwork is that I truly did.
And don't worry about the vocals😊 the lyrics are amazing
This so beatifull 🥹
I actually made my own little version of this story except VERY different. Basically there’s a space goddess named Chorosthea who watches over the stars. One little star named Eveline wonders about the Earth, and decides to take it upon herself to explore, thinking she’ll just pass by, but ends up falling into the Earth, losing her light, at least most of it. She gets adopted by a royal family but misses her old life at home in the stars, among the abyss of space, so she calls out to Chorosthea and asks for a sign, something, anything to help Eveline get back. And she does, a shining star dwindles down, helping Eveline regain her previous light.
This is fantastic!!! Definetely fonna listen to this … way too much. How‘s this so much more emotional than the whole movie?
Absolutely amazing!!❤
This is FANTASTICCC so underrated I love it so much!!
OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS
This song is incredible! Definitely so much better than the official one
This is beautiful ❤❤❤
Beautiful ❤
This is a beautiful song. 😍
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!
No way!!
(please tell)This is some kind of ,christian' re-think of the situation what she was?!
Is it possible?
Please tell(write) me that you was inspired by that world view.
so, no! but yes, if that's your belief system and what you turn to in times of desperation.
asha here is still wishing to the stars, to that abstract concept of something bigger & greater than her. to the world itself. to the very concept of possibility, to the idea that by speaking it into the world something will respond in kind.
whenever i experience this feeling, i experience it from a very... humanist perspective? it's still spiritual, but towards the people around me in my community instead of a divine.
that said, i know religious people in my life who experience this feeling in the same way, and i often reflect on it as the fundamental value we share as humans. even if we interpret its meaning in different ways, it's the same emotion. humans just feel the need to believe in magic sometimes, regardless of what we attribute as the source.
watching a bunch of videos abt why the music in wish doesn't work and then stumbling upon THIS is absolutely great
god this was stunning I really loved listening to it!
HOW AM I FINDING THIS NOW!!!!! Is soooooo unbelievably good😭😭😭😭😭😭the world needs to know
This is so lovely 🥺💕
This is awesome
I like both versions of the song
underrated woah
This is so lovely!! ❤
Amazing song
Perfection.
You made this song way better.
Omg this is the best rewrite its even better than the original song it had a lot of depth and fits perfectly with the movie's events its the best this wish period 🤩
The title for Knowing What I Know Now should be He Is No Longer My King.
Wow.
This works a bit more :3
NOW all we need is magnifico and to cap star and get star-boy instead
This is beautiful I wanna animatic this so bad
This would be a perfect song for a sequel, Asha is making a new wish as a fairy godmother. With some modified lyrics like change the, 'fool to look at the sky' concept. Because in Wish, she learns she looks up because she is a star
this is so beautiful!! i've seen people compare asha to esmeralda from hunchback of notre dame, but your version of the song reminds me far more of god help the outcasts than the one in the actual film ever did. disney's version has really bizarre, poorly written lyrics and asha's motivations are extremely lacking. yours actually WORKS as a well-written "i want" song that expresses asha's desire to have better for the people she loves and how she doesn't know what she can possibly do to improve things other than just have faith, even if it's hard.
esmeralda is 100% the most explicit and intentional legacy nod here other than "the when you wish upon a star" motif! a lot of the press material around wish and interviews really wanted to frame asha as a young activist... and we already have a movie with that genre of heroine who is really successful narratively!
i'm glad the callback landed without being too on the nose! 🐴
I love this! Will this be on Spotify
Sounds better.
Please make the reprise version ❤❤❤
PLEASE tell me this will be on spotify sometime omgggg
This is amazing. I'm trying to do an animated fan remake of the movie, and I would love to use this version of the song if it's okay with you. I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to finish it tbh, but I wanted to ask for permissions before even starting. I'll of course give you all the credit of the song, and put links aswell when possible :)
Again, great work with the song!
of course of course and quite frankly every time someone says they're doing this i get filled with INFINITE POWER so THANK YOU! 🐴
@@hpheisler Hahahah I can imagine, thanks a lot for the opportunity!! 🙏
Do you have a instrumental version? I’d like to sing to this song
Thank You @h. p. heisler, for. . . for being clear in the video description of your true intentions on making this rewrite. . . I appreciate your humility and giving the creators and the original songwriter of ‘ Wish ’ the credit that they deserve. You really expressed the way I wanted for Asha to be in the film.
Here's Why:
Asha is a well-thought-out character, aside from design wise, her personality is interesting! She has an innate desire wanting the best for others. And that! makes her a great main character. However, what had lost her best trait is that, after knowing the truth about the given wishes, she deals with it in a way that she's being unreasonable and immature, Magnifico has a point why he doesn't grants everyone's wishes and as king he must value the safety first of his own kingdom than anything else. Sadly, she was made into a stubborn little teenager throwing a tantrum not getting what she wanted. Well I digress, I wished (pun unintended) they made Asha explain more better why is it not wrong to pursue each person's wish. Prove to Magnifico his ways are valid but also hers. But I'm not here to rant here my complaints about the film. So. . . getting back.
In this rewrite, the lyrics of the song, it made her more pure. Somewhat, sincere and caring for the people of Rosas. She's more calmer and her wishing is so similar like praying. I'm just in awe with the words were used and the delivery of the vocals really touches the soul. Well I don't like comparing people, but you did a great job on making it, and conveying the message that was supposed for it to convey. Thank You again @h. p. heisler for sharing your admiring passion to us. ❤
oh... thank you! thank you! i saw this just as i woke up and it made me start crying!
my little story time for you is that when i was in art school, we had an assignment that genuinely changed my brain forever:
design an album cover to an album that you HATE. because it was at the height of katy perry's witness era, i chose her, and the album PRISM.
in the span of about a month, i went from absolutely detesting her and her work to... deeply loving her as an artist and human being, and genuinely daydreaming about working with her one day. i'd always been someone to approach work with curiosity and empathy, and i've always been someone more interested in understanding why a piece of work was unsuccessful at reaching its intended goals than just decrying it... but this assignment sent me down a rabbit hole. i listened to every single one of her albums. i listened to every single interview. i became intensely curious about her as a person, and her career as the sum of parts much more complicated than just her choices alone. i still really didn't like the album, but i understood everything that lead up to it, and could understand why choices weren't made in a vacuum.
that is to say... i went on the same journey with the entire production history of wish. i've watched the "into the unknown" making of documentary for frozen 2 i think three times, and will probably watch the upcoming documentary series on the making of wish even more while i try to piece together where this movie went off the rails. movies are the collective result of hundreds upon hundreds of people trying to do their best work. no one is showing up trying to fail. but sometimes things happen, and it's like one of my #1 professional goals in my actual creative work that i get paid for to understand how those things happen and how to avoid them in my own projects.
that is all also to say: i am also accidentally a gigantic julia michaels fan now. i have listened to her entire discography. i do not like her music! we really have like polar opposite approaches to lyricism and storytelling through our music! but i think she's so much goddamn fun and i think it would be genuinely so cool if she ever sees this because i 100% believe we would have a lovely conversation about how we each tried to crack the nut. she is an artist who takes sincere and pure joy and pride in her craft, and i can only ever respect that even if we're from very different schools of it.
@@hpheisler thanks for sharing @h. p. heisler your journey. Never thought you guys went to school for that. But that's great! I'm never prouder for each and one of you's achievement! Keep doing what your good at, and someday you'll be stellar!🌟
This is great!
This is my version:
[Music] In a world where doubt and art flair,
A whisper in the cosmic air.
With fiery dreams, 'neath stars so bright,
Crafting wishes in the silent night.
A dance with doubt, a wish takes flight,
On the canvas of the sky, a playful light.
Passion flows like a fiery stream,
In a grand dream, not just a fleeting gleam.
[Chorus]
Wish at night, stars shining bright,
Dreams take flight in soft moonlight.
Simple and bright, like a moonbeam,
In the starry night, a magical dream.
In a quiet night where stars conspire,
A wish streaks higher, like a comet's fire.
Moments etched in starlight's gleam,
Carving a path beyond the ordinary seam.
In a realm untouched, I tread the way,
Beneath the vast, open sky, where doubts may sway.
Amidst the stars, a whisper so slight,
A wish emerges, seeking its flight.
Determined and calm, under cosmic light,
A wish unfurls, gentle and light.
Dreams seek the sea, barriers fall,
Influencing the path, a silent call.
[Chorus]
Wish at night, stars shining bright,
Dreams take flight in soft moonlight.
Simple and bright, like a moonbeam,
In the starry night, a magical dream.
In the silence, a difference is spun,
Wishes dance beneath the cosmic sun.
Subtle whispers in the starlit air,
Hoping for a world beyond compare.
This is definitely AI :)
The song is absolute GORGEOUS but i just wanna ask if u also made the background art? I wanna find the original artist for the bg cuz its very nice but i couldnt find it credited in the description
yes! my art as well. 🐴
Would it be okay if I used this version of this song in a fanfic rewrite? I promise to credit you and tell people to listen.
absolutely!!
@@hpheisler Thank you! :D
I wonder if Wish was an IP would it be better?
What do I have to do to listen the male cover on this version of the song?
i wanted to clean up the instrumental of it b/c folks asked... and i just made a bunch of updates & fixes to my recording set up... so no promises... but it is a possibility!
🐴
Whoa who drew and sang this?
lyrics, art, music, all mine! vocalist is the SynthesizerV voicebank "Natalie", i.e. a text-to-speech vocal synthesizer. the magic of technology when you're a solo songwriter with a baritone range who can't pull off a disney princess. 😅
@@hpheisler ooh cool!!!
@@hpheisler im super glad ur also rlly nice to julia micheals, i feel like some people wont cut her some slack when shes just doing her best and working with what she could. Wish worth making aint bad.
@@tofuaddict5946 i ended up becoming a huge fan of her as a person the past few months. she writes a very different kind of music than i do, but in every single interview she truly radiates a kindness, warmth, and passion that is so evident? i don't know. she wrote songs that were authentically like all of her other work! it was the leadership at disney that chose to hire her for this project without considering how it might clash.
this is the reason my friends and i have started calling the wish songs straight up camp. they're very sincere and well meaning songs written under bizarre circumstances. they're ridiculous. they don't make any sense. but she did her job and clearly had so much fun doing it.
we have started saying "i was sweet but now i'm... something else!" around the house.
@@hpheisler i think wish's songs are more feel good songs than anything, it isnt bad just not disney worthy. Also is the sweet thing a song lyric or?
❤ I’m just saying that I don’t think you need a new phone because you have a lot more stuff that I can get you for the next couple of months but if you’re still looking to buy a new one 1️⃣ to get a better price I would be willing to pay for it if I had the money 💰 for the phone and I don’t have to worry that much more I don’t want it I would be more comfortable if you were looking at a different price but you could get me adopted that would be good😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 and I’m so sad for your family and I hope you have a wonderful life with your family 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I don't know if it's funny or sad to see these people on the internet trying to rewrite the film, be it the script or the music, thinking they can do better, and end up presenting something like that. My God. If you're reading this, I have nothing against you, it's difficult to write songs, but you didn't do a better job than the film as you think you did, like these people who think they're fixing the film saying stuff like "Oh the concept was far more interesting, so I made this story based on, cause we were robbed", and present those horrible fanfics, thinking they nailed it, it gets really embarrassing and I considered the movie like 6.5/10, but comparing with those rewrites people are making, the actual movie is 10/10
