It’s an incredible country and I have only been there once. Even in remote towns where few people understood my English everyone was kind and patient to me. Definitely worth a visit once the pandemic passes.
Sweden..... you're all insane to pass up this woman not once but 4 times for Eurovision???! Seriously.... She may not meet the Swedish high standards but give the rest of us in Europe the chance to vote for her!!! She is amazing!
Unfortunately, now it is likely she will never get in. Being associated with this movie will give her an unfair advantage since it was officially sponsored by Eurovision. Probably better in the long run though because this movie will live on, while most Eurovision fame fades fast unless you are the next ABBA.
I feel silly for saying this, but this song brought tears to my eyes and this intense feeling i used to get watching Disney movies as a kid.. Rachel is beyond beautiful and the girl singing blew my mind. We need more pure things in this world.
"We need more pure things in this world." Nothing "pure" about reason, tolerance and hard work. That's what we *really* need more of in this world. The things you mention is for free and is plentiful. Well, maybe not for you.
You are not alone! Tears of joy! tears of happiness, tears of purpose and fulfillment! This is what I feel too! This song is the best ever happened to a mankind on this crazy covid infected world! There is a hope! There is a God and Hometown awaiting our eternity on Earth and in Heaven.
that feeling watching this and tearing up is really interesting, and yeah a lot of kids felt that when they listen do Disney music or watch the movies. I think in that moment you are so happy that you get overwhelmed and your body doesn't know what to do so it starts crying
It wasn't that good. She held the mic too close to her mouth that for anyone who sings would know would not have allowed for clear sounds. She needed to watch how pros sing live and mimic their mannerisms.
when the camera changes to the Icelandic actors and the one guy says excitedly 'she's singing Icelandic' and the joyous expressions of those actors.. That wasn't acting.. That was pure love and pride. The buildup of emotion, for me, was overwhelming and when the high note was hit and finished.. It all came out. I did cry a bit. No shame
I UPVOTED TOO AND I DISAGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT! BUT I STILL WANT TO ONLY HEAR JA JA DING DONG AND IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH! IT WAS A WONDERFUL SONG BUT IT WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN JA JA DING DONG! PLAY JA JA DING DONG! NOW!
Living in Sweden I really never cared much about Molly...Sure you know who she is..Some of her songs and that she is talented. Watching this movie an POFF Im a fan. Well done Molly Sanden I loved this
I’ve always liked Molly. But I totally agree with you, after hearing this song I’ve become one of her biggest fans. She has evolved into a world class singer and must be one of our greatest singers alive today. And that’s saying a lot!
Most people, I would say somewhere in the region of 99% of the planet, doesnt know who won any award, during any year. Its not relevant to pretty much everyone, uncluding you. Why would you prefer that thousands of people you don't know, who have vested interests in the result, disagree with you? Also it didn't deserve the oscar because it didn't win, if it was deserved it would have won. The oscars arent about who is the best but about who can be used the best. Two black people won years ago for mediocre roles. The year previously people made a fuss over black people not winning the big awards enough. Then two black people won the next year. One is a bad actress at the best of times and the other has had maybe a dozen better roles before the film they won for. Dicaprio won because he hadn't won before and was overdue. The movie he won for was ok, but not great. Doesn't matter. Leo would be happier with an award and we can slap "starring academy award winner" on the posters. Just this past year we had two Asian winners and a previously sexually assaulted former superstar. Thats because a couple years people bitched that asians weren't getting their fare share and Me Too gave Frasier a bump. Nothing against any of the winners but they arent winning on merit, its just attempts at social justice from the wealthy elite. Keep on watching though. I bet there will be an LGBTQ winner in the next couple years. Probably a trans person in a trans role in a movie that isn't very good but hits some good social notes.
Molly Sandén is such a great singer and I’m so happy she finally gets some recognition outside of Scandinavia! She has done English songs in the past but her Swedish ones is the best. You should look her up, if you like “Husavik “ you will definitely love “Rosa himmel”. Trust me
You're right but I love all the songs which I guess you do too. Is it just me who feels that I'm kind of Molly Sandén's fan number one LOVES HER SO FUCKING MUCH !!
@johnny ember depends who you ask. As a foreigner in Iceland, I thought she was native, because her Icelandic is better than mine, but my partner is native and he said that the Icelandic parts spoiled the whole song for him, because they are really rough sounding and stood out to him in a bad way.
I’ve been a fan of Molly’s since she was on JESC in 2006. I’m really happy to see that she’s reaching an international audience. She’s very talented and genuinely a very nice person.
The first time I heard this song wasn't the movie it came on my car radio. Mind you I am from the midwest but have spent my entire adult life in the Navy and rarely see home. This song brought me to tears so much I had to pull over and get it out. I have never heard a song that has struck me as if I had lost my own parent. A real spear to the soul. I can only imagine how the songwriter felt.
We have a ton of unknown national treasures like Molly. She's just one of about 12+ of them. Yes, we are so spoiled when it comes to domestic music, but it's a damn shame for these treasures they are not more known. Because they all deserve it. They would CRUSH the world charts given a chance, but they're not on the leash of Murican wallet PR managers.
.sCHROD1NGER Miriam Bryant och Molly Sandén definitivt inte en av våra mest kända kvinnliga sångare. Veronica Maggio är väldigt känd nationellt medans Zara Larsson är mycket känd internationellt.
Bro, this song gives me goosebumbs every time. Such a beautiful song. This is why I love music so much. It makes even a cold hearthed person as me to actually feel something.
I consider myself as quite tough, but there is something in her voice and the text that kills me complete emotionally. I listen to that song for about 48 hours now while I'm awake.
If I could sing like her, I would never stop singing. I would sing my order at the McDonald's drive thru. I would sing all my presentations at work. I would sing my illness symptoms to my doctor at the emergency room.
Sing all the time, learn to feel your diaphragm, breathe in as though you're trying to pull air out of a cylinder extending from your mouth to the sky. People are usually much more capable than they think.
To the writer, producers, director, cast & crew, composers, writers & performers of the original songs, and specifically Will & Rachel, I want to take this moment to say "thank you". From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Thank you for producing the funniest, most heartfelt comedy of the year. At a time of unprecedented darkness and despair, you graced us with a feel-good experience full of inspiration, love, kindness, and an absolutely amazing collection of original songs that will most assuredly make this movie a cult classic for years and decades to come. This movie is exactly what the world, as well as me personally, needed. Please know that you are greatly appreciated for the gift you have bestowed upon us. Thank you so very much.
So it isn't, is it? Something not seen at Eurovision for 20 years can't be more Eurovision than what HAS been seen at Eurovision for 20 years. You didn't really think that through, did you?
For everyone curious about the line “where the whales can live cause they’re gentle people” Husavik is a well-known and popular area for whale watching!! She’s not just talking about some random ass whales. They’re really a part of her hometown! Sigrit
Y 20 X I mean, there are lots of people commenting about it. Just thought I’d give that little bit of info. I don’t think people know that Husavik is a whale-watching town based off of the whales jumping but maybe I’m wrong :D
The line "Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people" gets me every time. Congratulations to the Icelandic people for developing a beautiful country!
Except for last 2 years Iceland has killed more than 1500 whales since 2003 .. hopefully tourism will bring more good than killing them. Now Norway is the main “killer” along with Japan.
@@anastasme I think that's exactly why they included that lyric. She's singing about Husavik specifically, where they do protect and allow whales to live. And there in particular, a highlight is whale watching, instead of hunting. Even the biggest whale museum in the world is in that town.
@@psammiad well you can think of it in two ways. The simpler explanation is bad sentence structure. "They" refers to the Húsavík townsfolk, not the whales. Whales in their town can live cause they aren't hunted by the gentle townsfolk there (perhaps unlike in other parts of Iceland). Think of it written instead as: Where the whales can live---- cause they're gentle people in my hometown (Húsavík). Second explanation is the whales are likened to gentle "humans" themselves and thus should not be killed. I mean they're often referred to as "gentle giants" themselves. 😊😅
I've never been so proud to be Icelandic. And I'm not even Icelandic! What a beautiful song. I have to keep listening to it and I cry every time. Peace everyone.
let me cross my finger or hold my thumbs for this too - we here in Germany want to see Molly represent Sweden next year ♥ - amazing artist (she was outstanding in the JESC 2006) but now she is worldclass ♥
I’m from the United States and I think she deserves to be as big or even bigger than some singers here. I can’t believe I’ve never heard her before. She’s so underrated
Shit, I thought I was in for some low-brow toilet humor with this movie. Didn’t know I would be ugly-crying all over my door dash food. That was a seriously beautiful song
I absolutely feel what you just put to words there, and with great precision, i might add. On a further note, i also got a crush with Rachel so bad. Shes got that smile that haunts your dreams forever.
Shes really good.....and Gorgeous. Great recognition for her. But if you want to hear the best singer out of Sweden, just my opinion☺.....then you need to listen to Jonah Nilsson from Dirty Loops.
You say that until you hear Sanna Nilsén. She probably lady queen vocalist in our country. Du säger det till du hör Sanna Nilsén Hon är förmodligen honan med bäst röst i sverige ;)
Mikael Andersson Hon är duktig hon också, ingen tvekan om saken. Men Molly, hon är lite bättre om du frågar mig. Liksom Sanna här ovan skriver, det handlar ju trots allt om musik/smak after all
I am from Sweden and even tho I’m not Icelandic I can relate to the feeling of what she sings about with seagulls, mountains and magic northern lights. This song is AMAZING 😭 I cried so much watching this!!! Tack Molly! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm from India and it still knocks the wind out of my lungs every time she sings, I know nothing of the things she sings about but it feels magical nonetheless.
Englishman living in a small Danish town. Totally relate to this comment - even though the only whales I saw here were porpoises. And our biggest mountain isn't even 200 metres.
Considering she's from Sweden, she is very good at Icelandic! I'm from Iceland and i can say, it's a hard language when you don't speak it at all. I speak it all the time and I'm not even good at it
I was looking for this kind of comment! As a Swede I have little fate in me being able to properly pronounce Icelandic words! Maybe better than a non-nordic person but....glad she did it well!
@@darkiee69 Hate to break it to you but Netflix original movies are counted just like those that studios put into theaters in regards to the Academy Awards. In fact Netflix had the most nominations for the 2020 Awards, with A Marriage Story and the Irishman leading the way.
I far prefer her voice to Adele’s, who has a distinct English pub singer tone that she can’t get away from, no matter how classy shy tries to make herself!
This is the part were I start to stutter and my eyes get wet, while singing along... "Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people In my hometown, my hometown" I absolutely love this song! Thank you for singing it from the heart for all of us. You should definitely win a prize for it! Thank you, @Molly ❤😇
_Husavik My Hometown_ is the most touching Eurovision Song Contest song that never made it to the Eurovision Song Contest💖 I am so impressed by Molly and her voice. To simply say well done is not enough. I love this song.
When I was about 15 there was a girl in one of my friends school that was entering the Junior Song Contest. Today, that girl sings this incredible song, one of the best written and performed song I've heard in quite some time, possibly ever. I don't think I have ever felt the kind of emotion this song triggers, it's kind of amazing. This song has touched the entire world, and I am so impressed with Molly's performance.
I can't stop listening this song over and over . SUPERB performance ... I didn't know Molly Sanden exists .... I will listen all of her songs now ... This song is absolutely outstanding
I'm not even Icelandic and this gives me a sense of pride and joy. It's just so beautiful. She has the voice of a goddess. I hadn't cried in awhile, but this song came out of nowhere when I was watching the movie and I just cried my eyes out and curled up in a ball. It's not meant to be a sad song, obviously, but I just...let out all kinds of emotions I had bottled up for 2 years...this song was like therapy to me. And again...weird, because I'm not even Icelandic, but still.
Molly, I'm 49, and for the 1st time in my life I have finally connected with another country and another language in a profoundly deep way thanks to your gift. Listening to you sing changes me. I cried every single time the first 8 times in a row through the whole song, with no understanding as to why, which has never happened to me before! You swept away to this place I've never, and somehow make me feel I had to have been born there in a past life. I am so grateful. It hit's me so hard when you start singing Icelandic. I had no idea the language looked so beautiful in script, and could sound so beautiful to music. Endless thanks to everyone involved, and every iteration, and you have become one of my favorite vocalists of all time. I hope it can bless you to know I typically do whatever I must to avoid any kind of singing, I listen to instrumental pieces almost exclusively, and you are at the top of a very short list of favorite vocalists.
Just saw this movie and " Hometown" OMG that song! In a sea of darkness, a huge light shines bright!!! Thank you Molly, and "The Oscar goes to"!!!! I shed a tear everytime. Beautiful song!
When I saw the movie on Netflix, I fell in love with this song. I immediately downloaded it to my phone, and listen to it every day now. It's a great song. Thanks Molly Sanden.
Thanks Molly. Never could I imagine that a song in a Will Farrel movie would have more meaning and emotional impact than any Eurovision song have ever had for decades. Every ounce of this song is love for home. The switch to icelandic brings it out even more.
A silly movie but now even this many years later I tear up every single time I hear Molly sing this! Amazingly Beautiful! I know that that high is "a thing" with your voice but every time I hear it it pierces the soul!
Be with you, with you. In Húsavík by Skjálfanda, in my hometown. The only thing I desire is, to be with you. Be with you, with you. In Húsavík by Skjálfanda. (Skjálfanda is the bay where Húsavík is located)
This song equals "Never Enough" from The Greatest Showman, but this one gives me more goosebumps, because of the use of the Icelandic language. Beautiful sounds. I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie. Expected a rather poor comedy, got a respectful fun and moving film instead.
Yeah you read my mind... the beginning reminded me of that as well... gmta 😉 though I especially love the live tryout version of "this is me" where you hear hugh jackman react when she hits the emotional part...
Everytime l watch this l just cry and l can’t explain it. I am not even from that country but it touches my Spirit. Such a beautiful voice you have truly a gift.
I can't get through this song without choking up. I love this movie, I love this song and I love this brilliant singer. This is the best song I've heard in years. It better win the Oscar.
The movie is all heart ♥. It went from a quirky piece to my favourite movie of the year in a flash and stole my affection. And in no small part because of this stunning Song elevated by a heavenly voice. Instant fan. 😀👏👏
i think something is a bit off with it overall, it wasnt funny enough ,they had 2 hours of it too. but for someone who loves Eurovision who was gonna pick holes, I thought it was pretty good.
Agreed! I felt like it was a fun silly little movie to get my daughter to laugh while we’re home so much and then the end went in hard for all the feels.
🎤💯 That heavenly voice is none other than Molly Sandén! Other incredibly beautiful songs by her: Freak, Like a Phoenix, Sand, Rosa himmel, Mirage, Det bästa kanske inte hänt än, Like no ones watching, Den som e den, California dreams, Större, Rygg mot rygg, Va det då, Utan dig, Youniverse, Ingen som jag, Undanflykter, Satellites, This party, A little forgiveness.. PLUS she also sang Rapunzel songs in Disney’s Tangled (Swedish). 🇸🇪 🏰
This song ......what can I say. I'm 46 years old man and I'm crying on the chorus every single time I hear it. What a powerful magic is the music in this universe. Molly Sanden! Never heard of you before....will correct this. Music , lyrics, performance ..everything is superb! What an amazing piece! Great job everyone involved! ONE LOVE!
"Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls, where the whales can live cause they're gentle people" is one of the most beautiful lyrics ever
Why do I choke up every time she starts singing in Icelandic? I'm American. But this song regardless of where u are from we can all relate to thus song in our own way. Such a beautiful song
I was not expecting such a powerful Scene and beautiful song from a silly little comedy. We watched this not expecting much but my children and I loved it and watched it several times. They love the song...and the elves!
@Sean Valdehueza I don't think it's a fictional note. In their culture it might be thought like it, but with a good study and a wide voice range, you can reach it. You just gotta be as good as Molly :D
Finally, Finally, finally got round to watching this unappreciated gem of a film last night. And in the 20 hours since i watched it i have listened to this utterly brilliant song 15 times. Each and every time i am in tears, my heart soars as i feel the emotion behind it and makes me dream of the small town i am from also. It is a modern masterpiece with fantastic lyrics and a perfect score. Kudos on the song Molly and i hope you receive the recognition that goes with it (and i loved that one of my fave actors was able to emote the song in the film). I am now going into your back catalogue of songs and seeing the skills and quality you possess. Greetings and much love and appreciation from Sydney Australia
This movie made me feel almost exactly as what I felt when I watched the greatest showman. This song is of same quality as never enough, and I hope both Molly and the song gets the same attention and love and that it will win awards. Stunning. Just stunning. I'm amazed. I watched the movie just a few nights ago and this song has been on repeat ever since. I've always been a fan of Molly, and I'm so happy she finally gets the attention she deserves!!!!!
How have you and your voice been hidden from the rest of the world for so long?! This song alone merits a stage version of this movie. Absolutely stunning pipes you have there and regardless if you produce english songs or not? I'll be listening.
She is very famous in sweden. She's participated in melodifestivalen and produced several hits. Also, she voiced Rapunzel and her sister voiced Anna in Frozen😁
Molly Sanden's perfect voice and Rachel McAdams outstanding performance is one of the greatest creations I have ever seen in my life. Will Ferrell also gave us a brilliant characterization. This film begins as comedy but then turns into a very emotional masterpiece.
I never thought I would be homesick for a place I have never been.
It’s an incredible country and I have only been there once. Even in remote towns where few people understood my English everyone was kind and patient to me. Definitely worth a visit once the pandemic passes.
I didn’t expect i could cry on this simple yet honest ang powerful comment! 😭😭😭
Dammit, now I feel homesick for Sweden. I know where I'm going on my honeymoon now!
TJ Doran I think you mean Iceland
That's deep
On any given year this song would have wiped the floor in the real Eurovision Song Contest. It's pure Eurovision Gold.
It's really stupid that a song with Will Farrel singing in it can actually move me to tears. My god what a powerful vocal performance.
Glad I’m not the only one! 😂
He's great too in "stranger than fiction" singing and acting... Had a very moving scene..
This makes me cry more than anything else. I have no idea why. Byt i become a monster of snot and tears. I am a 50 year old man.
@@Bananiello Still gets me every time!
The secret is to have a lot of a good singer and very little of Will Ferrell
Sweden..... you're all insane to pass up this woman not once but 4 times for Eurovision???! Seriously.... She may not meet the Swedish high standards but give the rest of us in Europe the chance to vote for her!!! She is amazing!
She represented Sweden in junior eurovision and came third!
We all love her! But for some odd reason she doesn't enter Melodifestivalen with a great song. Many of her other songs are huge hits in Sweden!
Unfortunately, now it is likely she will never get in. Being associated with this movie will give her an unfair advantage since it was officially sponsored by Eurovision. Probably better in the long run though because this movie will live on, while most Eurovision fame fades fast unless you are the next ABBA.
If she had enterered with something like this she would have won Melodifestivalen for sure
@@Mrvanderspank probably someone else who wrote the song.
I feel silly for saying this, but this song brought tears to my eyes and this intense feeling i used to get watching Disney movies as a kid.. Rachel is beyond beautiful and the girl singing blew my mind. We need more pure things in this world.
Omg same!

Lol "the girl singing". You're commenting on her channel, it would've took you two seconds to look it up.
that feeling watching this and tearing up is really interesting, and yeah a lot of kids felt that when they listen do Disney music or watch the movies. I think in that moment you are so happy that you get overwhelmed and your body doesn't know what to do so it starts crying
Rachel McAdams this years winner of Lip Synce Battle 😂
It wasn't that good. She held the mic too close to her mouth that for anyone who sings would know would not have allowed for clear sounds. She needed to watch how pros sing live and mimic their mannerisms.
Ээ0
What is cool is that Will Farrell did the actual backup singing on this song!
Really, was Rachel just Lip Syncing?
The vocals in the film are actually a mix of Rachel and Molly’s voice apparently
If her voice doesn't touch your soul, you don't have one.
unbelieveable voice
I rather believe it was Rachel Mcadams singing.

Very true
I almost cried when she starts singing in Icelandic. And I don’t even speak it.

@@an0nhubbard yes it was acting
Yeah when he said “she’s singing in Icelandic!” I was like “oooh shit, here comes some tears.”
My wife and i got married to this song!! It started as just a track from a movie, now its the most important song in our relationship!
The dislikes are from those who just want to hear ‘Ja ja ding dong’
lmaoooooo im in tears xD
I UPVOTED TOO AND I DISAGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT! BUT I STILL WANT TO ONLY HEAR JA JA DING DONG AND IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH! IT WAS A WONDERFUL SONG BUT IT WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN JA JA DING DONG! PLAY JA JA DING DONG! NOW!

Same here. I’m from nyköping and didnt care much until I moved back to USA and I began missing everything about sverige
p0 a good day at work and
As a Brit, she reminds me of our Adele.
This song absolutely deserved the Oscar. Anyone remember the the sing that actually won? Nope. This was the most deserving song I've ever seen.
Some quota song won((

They prefer to give Oscar devilish Sam instead. Oscar has become a political weapon and used to suit the puppeteers whims
Fight For You
From Judas and the Black Messiah.
(I've never heard it... But it CAN'T be better than Husavik)
I listened to it.
It's OK. Not a bad song.
But it's not even close Husavik... I get goosebumps and blurry eyes every time I hear it.
Best song of 2020 !
Also from the fun film.
Jaja ding dong the second best song
Easily
Molly Sandén is such a great singer and I’m so happy she finally gets some recognition outside of Scandinavia!
She has done English songs in the past but her Swedish ones is the best. You should look her up, if you like “Husavik “ you will definitely love “Rosa himmel”.
Trust me
Hello how are you Mixtra
Nah. The english ones are way better.
I also like her Swedish songs very much. But maybe it helps that I'm actually Swedish myself. 🙂
Rosa himmel är så fin... jag sjunger ofta till den, har en historia kring den också.
You're right but I love all the songs which I guess you do too. Is it just me who feels that I'm kind of Molly Sandén's fan number one LOVES HER SO FUCKING MUCH !!
Probably one of the best, if not THE best, movies Will Ferrell has ever made.
I agree, he's wonderful, so funny, I recently read it has taken him over 10 years to have it come to fruition. Dedication
@@sarahcowan1489 and he was fan og Eurovision befor IT got famous in US ,first time he did see IT .He said IT should be a movie
Dude if you like that mood stranger than fiction it's hands down his best movie on the romantic genre
Agree!!!
What’s crazy is this should go on theater again. They would likely beat their initial box office numbers
I feel so proud when she sings in Icelandic and I am an Indian Canadian. Lol
Omg me too! Indian Canadian as well
Just that she’s not singing in real icelandic. My relatives didn’t understand a word 😹
thats not icelandic i couldnt understand a word until i looked it up...
@johnny ember depends who you ask. As a foreigner in Iceland, I thought she was native, because her Icelandic is better than mine, but my partner is native and he said that the Icelandic parts spoiled the whole song for him, because they are really rough sounding and stood out to him in a bad way.
Feather or red dot?
Why is the singer not famous world wide?!?!?!?! She's amazing!!!!!
Now she is! Very talented swedish singer molly Sand’en! 💕
Molly Sandén is famous. At least in Sweden and Europe, now the world.
Personally i have know about her for a few month now and I knly watched the movie today, i am from South Africa
I’ve been a fan of Molly’s since she was on JESC in 2006. I’m really happy to see that she’s reaching an international audience. She’s very talented and genuinely a very nice person.
Molly is very popular in 🇸🇪, everyone know who she is in Sweden. One of my favorits artist from Sweden

Hello from Canada. Dear Sweden, Molly Sanden should be considered a national treasure if she isn't already.
She kinda is, she’s one of our most famous singers, her and Miriam Bryant
We have a ton of unknown national treasures like Molly. She's just one of about 12+ of them. Yes, we are so spoiled when it comes to domestic music, but it's a damn shame for these treasures they are not more known. Because they all deserve it. They would CRUSH the world charts given a chance, but they're not on the leash of Murican wallet PR managers.

I consider myself as quite tough, but there is something in her voice and the text that kills me complete emotionally. I listen to that song for about 48 hours now while I'm awake.
If I could sing like her, I would never stop singing. I would sing my order at the McDonald's drive thru. I would sing all my presentations at work. I would sing my illness symptoms to my doctor at the emergency room.
I can sing like her, but I'm too scared to sing. Be grateful for your confidence.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sing all the time, learn to feel your diaphragm, breathe in as though you're trying to pull air out of a cylinder extending from your mouth to the sky. People are usually much more capable than they think.
Hahahah best comment!
To the writer, producers, director, cast & crew, composers, writers & performers of the original songs, and specifically Will & Rachel, I want to take this moment to say "thank you". From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Thank you for producing the funniest, most heartfelt comedy of the year. At a time of unprecedented darkness and despair, you graced us with a feel-good experience full of inspiration, love, kindness, and an absolutely amazing collection of original songs that will most assuredly make this movie a cult classic for years and decades to come. This movie is exactly what the world, as well as me personally, needed. Please know that you are greatly appreciated for the gift you have bestowed upon us. Thank you so very much.
Well said. Same feelings!
I really loved it too!
I can relate. I have probably seen it 200x
I really hope for a sequel.
This beautiful film could and probably has brought people back from thinking of suicide.
@markannotto Thanks Mark, you nailed it!
Rachel McAdams did a great job with lipsynching the song. She's such a wonderful actress. 😍
I saw in an interview that she actually did sing it and they put My Marianne's voice over it.
Yeah choir, but Molly Sanden need All proud Here!
Agreeeee
👍

This song is legit more eurovision than anything performed at the Eurovision song contest in the last 20 years.

So it isn't, is it? Something not seen at Eurovision for 20 years can't be more Eurovision than what HAS been seen at Eurovision for 20 years. You didn't really think that through, did you?

@@markfox1545 you sound fun at parties
For everyone curious about the line “where the whales can live cause they’re gentle people”
Husavik is a well-known and popular area for whale watching!! She’s not just talking about some random ass whales. They’re really a part of her hometown! Sigrit
I don't think anyone's wondering. Two giant whales jump out the water and do a little spin early in the movie. Lololol
Iceland and Japan really loves Whales. Loves to hit them with harpoons I mean.
@@DanHammarstrom And America loves kids. Loves to treat the bullet wounds with very high priced doctors I mean.
Y 20 X I mean, there are lots of people commenting about it. Just thought I’d give that little bit of info. I don’t think people know that Husavik is a whale-watching town based off of the whales jumping but maybe I’m wrong :D
Dan Hammarström whaling and whale-watching unfortunately exist in the same places, yes. :(
The line "Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people" gets me every time. Congratulations to the Icelandic people for developing a beautiful country!
Except for last 2 years Iceland has killed more than 1500 whales since 2003 .. hopefully tourism will bring more good than killing them. Now Norway is the main “killer” along with Japan.
TeooeT they’re not ruthlessly destroying them though. It’s like hunting here in the states, you’ve got to manage your resources.
@@anastasme I think that's exactly why they included that lyric. She's singing about Husavik specifically, where they do protect and allow whales to live. And there in particular, a highlight is whale watching, instead of hunting. Even the biggest whale museum in the world is in that town.
Are whales really gentle people?
@@psammiad well you can think of it in two ways. The simpler explanation is bad sentence structure. "They" refers to the Húsavík townsfolk, not the whales. Whales in their town can live cause they aren't hunted by the gentle townsfolk there (perhaps unlike in other parts of Iceland). Think of it written instead as:
Where the whales can live---- cause they're gentle people in my hometown (Húsavík).
Second explanation is the whales are likened to gentle "humans" themselves and thus should not be killed. I mean they're often referred to as "gentle giants" themselves. 😊😅
I've never been so proud to be Icelandic. And I'm not even Icelandic! What a beautiful song. I have to keep listening to it and I cry every time. Peace everyone.
And such a brilliant Swedish singer!
@@annicaesplund6613 Oh yeah, the singer is hands down brilliant.
Me too, proud to be Icelandic! And I'm not even Icelandic!
Me too!
Lucky You! :))))
Crossing my fingers (or holding my thumbs as we do here in Sweden) that someone writes a great song like this for Molly for Melodifestivalen 2021.
let me cross my finger or hold my thumbs for this too - we here in Germany want to see Molly represent Sweden next year ♥ - amazing artist (she was outstanding in the JESC 2006) but now she is worldclass ♥
Mollydifestivalen 2021
I’m from the United States and I think she deserves to be as big or even bigger than some singers here. I can’t believe I’ve never heard her before. She’s so underrated
@@kendallnagel9324 If you want to listen to more songs by her she did Rapunzel's voice in swedish tangled😊
Jaaa!! 🙂
This song should win an Oscar. If it doesn’t....I’m writing a very strongly worded email to the Academy people.
Love this song, I thought the same thing , this song needs to be an oscar contender. It is perfect and pure.
I think it's up for one
Agreed
I have just listened to it 3 times
And Im in floods of tears.. 😢😢
Was nominated!!!... oscar the best song 2021!!!...
So happy to see it has been nominated. Now it must win.
2020: masterpiece
2024: masterpiece
Chills always. Eternal
Shit, I thought I was in for some low-brow toilet humor with this movie. Didn’t know I would be ugly-crying all over my door dash food. That was a seriously beautiful song
I absolutely feel what you just put to words there, and with great precision, i might add. On a further note, i also got a crush with Rachel so bad. Shes got that smile that haunts your dreams forever.
My favorite people in the world are you honest internet people. You're great! God bless.
@@airnidzo And the bit where she stands all battered and bruised and says 'I wrote that song for you...
Lmfaooo! I had to hide from my parents cus I didn’t want them to see me crying 😂😂😂
Same
This is a comedy and this part gives me chills and makes me tear up every time
Its an amazing movie. Didnt expect something like this when i saw Will Ferrel was playing in it.
Molly, that high note is amazing. A true masterpiece on top of a perfect performance.
The one dislike to this awesome song was Olaf. Only because he wants to hear JaJa Ding Dong.
😂😂buh i love jaja ding dong
I love you 🤣🤣
PLAY JAJA DING DONG!!!!! 😂
JAJAJAJAJAJAJ! 😂
Olaf & his Icelandic friends ...LOL
Yes Molly yes!!! You deserved this attention, THE BEST Swedish singer for sure today! LOVE!!!
I thought she is actually from Iceland ☹️ it would be much more magical 🥺
Shes really good.....and Gorgeous. Great recognition for her. But if you want to hear the best singer out of Sweden, just my opinion☺.....then you need to listen to Jonah Nilsson from Dirty Loops.
You say that until you hear Sanna Nilsén.
She probably lady queen vocalist in our country.
Du säger det till du hör Sanna Nilsén
Hon är förmodligen honan med bäst röst i sverige ;)
Mikael Andersson jag tycker inte att Sanna Nielsen tar Molly, men det är ju en smakfråga såklart.
Mikael Andersson Hon är duktig hon också, ingen tvekan om saken. Men Molly, hon är lite bättre om du frågar mig. Liksom Sanna här ovan skriver, det handlar ju trots allt om musik/smak after all
I am from Sweden and even tho I’m not Icelandic I can relate to the feeling of what she sings about with seagulls, mountains and magic northern lights. This song is AMAZING 😭 I cried so much watching this!!! Tack Molly! ❤️❤️❤️
Also feeling the rhythm here all the way from London and how are you there lineya
samma här!
I'm from India and it still knocks the wind out of my lungs every time she sings, I know nothing of the things she sings about but it feels magical nonetheless.
I am from Alaska and it reminds me of home too ❤️
Englishman living in a small Danish town. Totally relate to this comment - even though the only whales I saw here were porpoises. And our biggest mountain isn't even 200 metres.
Molly Sanden, underbar och älskad! Fantastisk!
I love her voice. Everytime I listen to this song I end up crying
Me to and I’m a mid age man... love all the Songs in that movie!!!
Coupled with McAdams' visual emotions gets me every time.
I feel the same!
Same 🙋🏻♀️
true, it is so powerfull and emotional. i wish it is fully written in icelandic
"Where the mountains sing. Through the screams of seagulls." Is honestly one of the strongest lines I've heard in awhile.
Considering she's from Sweden, she is very good at Icelandic! I'm from Iceland and i can say, it's a hard language when you don't speak it at all. I speak it all the time and I'm not even good at it
Also her voice is soooo beautiful!!😍
I was looking for this kind of comment! As a Swede I have little fate in me being able to properly pronounce Icelandic words! Maybe better than a non-nordic person but....glad she did it well!
Iceland Is so beatiful, i hope visit some day
Love Island.
@@DjMiBsweden It is the language of our ancestors.
Best Original Song - front runner for the Oscars
They don't give prizes to "made for Netflix" movies.
@@darkiee69 It might end up winning some Emmy or other...
@@darkiee69 Hate to break it to you but Netflix original movies are counted just like those that studios put into theaters in regards to the Academy Awards. In fact Netflix had the most nominations for the 2020 Awards, with A Marriage Story and the Irishman leading the way.
@@darkiee69 What about "Roma" by Alfonso Cuaron? Oscar Best Director
That ending of the movie with her voice made me have tears in my eyes. Absolute magnificent voice.
Why has everyone heard of Adele? But hardly anyone heard of Molly Sanden? What a powerful, amazing, overpowering voice, rich with melody and feel
Adele probably fucked the right producers on her way up xD
I far prefer her voice to Adele’s, who has a distinct English pub singer tone that she can’t get away from, no matter how classy shy tries to make herself!
She has the best voice I've ever seen
Absolutly
@@CONCIOUS19 - you don't see voices.
This is the part were I start to stutter and my eyes get wet, while singing along...
"Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls
Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people
In my hometown, my hometown"
I absolutely love this song! Thank you for singing it from the heart for all of us. You should definitely win a prize for it!
Thank you, @Molly ❤😇
_Husavik My Hometown_ is the most touching Eurovision Song Contest song that never made it to the Eurovision Song Contest💖 I am so impressed by Molly and her voice. To simply say well done is not enough. I love this song.
Gives me goosebumps everytime! Such a beautiful voice you've been blessed with.
Im holding back my teardrops every time
When I was about 15 there was a girl in one of my friends school that was entering the Junior Song Contest. Today, that girl sings this incredible song, one of the best written and performed song I've heard in quite some time, possibly ever. I don't think I have ever felt the kind of emotion this song triggers, it's kind of amazing. This song has touched the entire world, and I am so impressed with Molly's performance.
How this beautiful song didnt won the oscar?!?!?!
I can't stop listening this song over and over . SUPERB performance ... I didn't know Molly Sanden exists .... I will listen all of her songs now ... This song is absolutely outstanding
I got the same feeling from this song as I did from "Never Enough" from The Greatest Showman. Excellent, beautiful, and touching.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!!!
Same here! Both are strong, emotional songs.
They really nailed the music in this movie. Such a beautiful song! Worthy of winning a gigantic competition, and for being the key song of this movie.
If there's an Oscars next year this will definitely be nominated.
YES INDEED ♥️🤪🤗🥰
Netflix don't get oscars
Indeed!
Damn that voice
Just what I was thinking...amazing!
I'm not even Icelandic and this gives me a sense of pride and joy. It's just so beautiful. She has the voice of a goddess. I hadn't cried in awhile, but this song came out of nowhere when I was watching the movie and I just cried my eyes out and curled up in a ball. It's not meant to be a sad song, obviously, but I just...let out all kinds of emotions I had bottled up for 2 years...this song was like therapy to me. And again...weird, because I'm not even Icelandic, but still.
Molly, I'm 49, and for the 1st time in my life I have finally connected with another country and another language in a profoundly deep way thanks to your gift. Listening to you sing changes me. I cried every single time the first 8 times in a row through the whole song, with no understanding as to why, which has never happened to me before! You swept away to this place I've never, and somehow make me feel I had to have been born there in a past life. I am so grateful. It hit's me so hard when you start singing Icelandic. I had no idea the language looked so beautiful in script, and could sound so beautiful to music. Endless thanks to everyone involved, and every iteration, and you have become one of my favorite vocalists of all time. I hope it can bless you to know I typically do whatever I must to avoid any kind of singing, I listen to instrumental pieces almost exclusively, and you are at the top of a very short list of favorite vocalists.
After seeing it 50 times, I was fully prepared to watch this clip without crying today.
But nope. Didn't make it.
Perhaps next week.
You know youre not gonna wait till next week to try again...dont even play.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same dude, same
I figured I would get used to it also... Nope... The feels again!
same
Wow I can't stop listening. This song makes me miss a place I've never been before.
Same here from 🇺🇸
Thanks Molly. Beyond beautiful!
Much more and a million credits for the real singer.
She,s stunning to hear and see.
I guess i,ve felt in love😍
Just saw this movie and " Hometown" OMG that song! In a sea of darkness, a huge light shines bright!!! Thank you Molly, and "The Oscar goes to"!!!! I shed a tear everytime. Beautiful song!
I’m not from Iceland, but I am from Alaska and this song really made me miss my hometown. Iceland looks so much like Alaska. ❤️
Molly who sings is from Sweden.
I see Sweden when I hear this song.
Sitka, for one, is equally photogenic and not even a stretch to imagine this performance there.
@@kaijessen3654 I'm from originally from Juneau, so that's what was going through my mind as I was listening to this song. :)
Me too
I’m from Alaska as well and I imagine it as well. Alaska is beautiful. I mean Iceland is beautiful and I would love to visit one day.
When I saw the movie on Netflix, I fell in love with this song. I immediately downloaded it to my phone, and listen to it every day now. It's a great song. Thanks Molly Sanden.
Thanks Molly. Never could I imagine that a song in a Will Farrel movie would have more meaning and emotional impact than any Eurovision song have ever had for decades. Every ounce of this song is love for home. The switch to icelandic brings it out even more.
A silly movie but now even this many years later I tear up every single time I hear Molly sing this! Amazingly Beautiful! I know that that high is "a thing" with your voice but every time I hear it it pierces the soul!
Be with you, with you. In Húsavík by Skjálfanda, in my hometown.
The only thing I desire is, to be with you. Be with you, with you.
In Húsavík by Skjálfanda.
(Skjálfanda is the bay where Húsavík is located)
this verse makes me cry.. wonderful lyrics as an ode to your hometown 🥺😭
thanks for this translation.
I was really curious what it meant, thanks for the translation
Is that your new hymn?
@@yannikoloff7659 No. But jaja ding dong is!
This song equals "Never Enough" from The Greatest Showman, but this one gives me more goosebumps, because of the use of the Icelandic language. Beautiful sounds. I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie. Expected a rather poor comedy, got a respectful fun and moving film instead.
I felt the same! Got serious never enough vibes but this song hits the feels.
Yeah you read my mind... the beginning reminded me of that as well... gmta 😉 though I especially love the live tryout version of "this is me" where you hear hugh jackman react when she hits the emotional part...
Yes, sir. That is also a very good musical score.
Everytime l watch this l just cry and l can’t explain it. I am not even from that country but it touches my Spirit. Such a beautiful voice you have truly a gift.
I can't get through this song without choking up. I love this movie, I love this song and I love this brilliant singer. This is the best song I've heard in years. It better win the Oscar.
It was absolutely robbed of the Oscar that year. Noone remembers the song that won. This song is still being watched over and over...
Potwierdzam z Polski Oscar jak nic pewnie za obrażanie USA przez Islandczyków
The movie is all heart ♥. It went from a quirky piece to my favourite movie of the year in a flash and stole my affection. And in no small part because of this stunning Song elevated by a heavenly voice. Instant fan. 😀👏👏
Me too! Thinking this was a stupid movie! But It made my heart soft and now I love it!
i think something is a bit off with it overall, it wasnt funny enough ,they had 2 hours of it too. but for someone who loves Eurovision who was gonna pick holes, I thought it was pretty good.
Agreed! I felt like it was a fun silly little movie to get my daughter to laugh while we’re home so much and then the end went in hard for all the feels.
🎤💯 That heavenly voice is none other than Molly Sandén!
Other incredibly beautiful songs by her:
Freak, Like a Phoenix, Sand, Rosa himmel, Mirage, Det bästa kanske inte hänt än, Like no ones watching, Den som e den, California dreams, Större, Rygg mot rygg, Va det då, Utan dig, Youniverse, Ingen som jag, Undanflykter, Satellites, This party, A little forgiveness.. PLUS she also sang Rapunzel songs in Disney’s Tangled (Swedish). 🇸🇪 🏰
When she hits the "Speorg note" at the end, I always get goosebumps, such a beautiful voice!
This song ......what can I say. I'm 46 years old man and I'm crying on the chorus every single time I hear it. What a powerful magic is the music in this universe. Molly Sanden! Never heard of you before....will correct this. Music , lyrics, performance ..everything is superb! What an amazing piece! Great job everyone involved! ONE LOVE!
When I first heard this song it blew me away and I've heard everything. Molly's voice is a gift from the Elves !
"Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls, where the whales can live cause they're gentle people" is one of the most beautiful lyrics ever
I think we all know that the best part is that one dude like “shEs sInGiNG In ICelaNDIc!”
Jajajajajaja
Why do I choke up every time she starts singing in Icelandic? I'm American. But this song regardless of where u are from we can all relate to thus song in our own way. Such a beautiful song
Everytime I hear it makes me cry.
I was not expecting such a powerful Scene and beautiful song from a silly little comedy. We watched this not expecting much but my children and I loved it and watched it several times. They love the song...and the elves!
Amazing Talent lending her voice to a Super Positive Film. Thank you Molly Sandén and all involved with the film.
Marvelous song and such a worldclass performance from Molly! Proud to be Swedish!!
She is pretty too.
Why can’t she be seen?
One has to wonder
This song would have definitely won in Eurovision!
Easily!
Both women did a great job ! Marianne sings so beautiful and Rachel makes you believe that she is actually singing , great acting!
The best voice I have ever heard...millions of songs from many cultures...none compare. This woman's voice is a gift from the heavens!
Nobody gets the Speorg Note like Molly Sandén.
Unbelievable song. Genuinely welled up at the end of the film. Stunning voice 👌🏼
Wow I can see why it was nominated for an Oscar today! So beautiful, haunting and lovely. Hope it wins Best Original Song.
Also felt the rhythm all the way from London here and which country are you from Rachelle
Fun fact: Whales can hear the Speorg note.
What is speorg?
@Sean Valdehueza I don't think it's a fictional note. In their culture it might be thought like it, but with a good study and a wide voice range, you can reach it. You just gotta be as good as Molly :D
@Sean Valdehueza Ohhh yeah I understand! Yeah, I'd call it whistle note, even though it's produced thanks to the head voice
@Sean Valdehueza its the last vestiges of air from the lungs and in some peoples eyes the purest if it can be controlled
Whales invented it and gave it to a rare few people.
I'm a man and can't help but cry when I hear this song. It is absolutely beautiful!
Me too ..😂
Thats whats makes you a man.. =)
I have the same aallergic reaction.
Right there with you brother
Damn those fishermen friends
This song should have won the oscar.
Finally, Finally, finally got round to watching this unappreciated gem of a film last night. And in the 20 hours since i watched it i have listened to this utterly brilliant song 15 times. Each and every time i am in tears, my heart soars as i feel the emotion behind it and makes me dream of the small town i am from also. It is a modern masterpiece with fantastic lyrics and a perfect score. Kudos on the song Molly and i hope you receive the recognition that goes with it (and i loved that one of my fave actors was able to emote the song in the film). I am now going into your back catalogue of songs and seeing the skills and quality you possess. Greetings and much love and appreciation from Sydney Australia
Amen! 🙏🏼
It's being proud of your hometown and origin which brings tears.
Molly Sanden what an incredible voice. IMO this song was the true Oscar Winner !
Will Ferrell really does have the voice of an angel. The girl is pretty good too
His voice is like the combination of Fergie and Jesus.
That’s secksist :>]
😂
Chanelle Sahin fixed it for your bro
Lol
This movie made me feel almost exactly as what I felt when I watched the greatest showman. This song is of same quality as never enough, and I hope both Molly and the song gets the same attention and love and that it will win awards. Stunning. Just stunning. I'm amazed. I watched the movie just a few nights ago and this song has been on repeat ever since. I've always been a fan of Molly, and I'm so happy she finally gets the attention she deserves!!!!!
Much love from London and how are you there malin and which country are you from
I dont even sing along with this song, I'm just blown away with its beauty in every way. Probably the best song I've ever heard and now my most loved.
"She's singing in Icelandic!"
The best part is the pride and surprise in the guy's voice. The look on everyone's face just melts me.
How have you and your voice been hidden from the rest of the world for so long?! This song alone merits a stage version of this movie. Absolutely stunning pipes you have there and regardless if you produce english songs or not? I'll be listening.
She is very famous in sweden. She's participated in melodifestivalen and produced several hits. Also, she voiced Rapunzel and her sister voiced Anna in Frozen😁
I think this is the highest powernote I've ever heard, ever. Teared eyed by JUST hearing that at the end.
That's a voice of an angel. Molly's making hearts smile across the global. Just beautiful. Thank you.
I only heard this song for the first time today, I’d never heard of molly, but it is the most beautiful performed song I have ever heard in my life.
Your voice put this movie on a whole other level.
Molly Sanden's perfect voice and Rachel McAdams outstanding performance is one of the greatest creations I have ever seen in my life. Will Ferrell also gave us a brilliant characterization. This film begins as comedy but then turns into a very emotional masterpiece.
