This song, its choreography, and the backdrop for the scene during which it is sung (the most spectacular freeway interchange in America), make up an epic moment in American film.
The Beautiful male lead is my Wonderful, Talented son Sam Stone singing! I will Never grow tired of listening to this inspiringly beautiful, happy song. It always brings me Happy Tears. Congratulations again on your Grammy son!! SO deserving. I am SO very proud of you! Love, Love, LOVE it!! I Love you son!!
Great ... a really important GOTCHA as the "maybe" is there but as Susan correctly mentions "in that sleepy town" is missing from the displayed lyrics. Your mom must be so proud.
First 6 seconds and I already know I shouldn't have come back here. This is going to be stuck in my head for the next 2 days and I'm just going to want to listen to it over and over and over till I almost dislike it, then I'll finally (reluctantly) stop.. and repeat the process next month. So good though.
I didn't find it sad. Bittersweet, maybe. But in the end, they both got their dreams. They just couldn't do both dreams and stay a couple. And at the end, when they smiled at each other, you could see they were happy with their lives. And they still love each other, too.
Sam Bouajram Oh, I'm not saying they both don't have regrets. But what she saw was if he did everything right for her, it would have cost him his dream. At some point, we all have to accept that we can't have everything. But they wanted their dreams more than a relationship together. At the same time, neither one would be successful if the other hadn't pushed them. So yeah, they wish it could have worked, sure.
Kevin Bradley wait I totally didn't catch that Sebastian doesn't open up Seb's in Mia's playback! Wow thank you for pointing that out it really adds depth to the movie's lesson that sometimes you have to choose between your dreams and your relationship
Sam Bouajram Oh, you're welcome. You would have spotted it yourself next time you saw it. I really love the maturity in the writing of the movie. It takes the film musical to a new level, in my opinion. Great movie.
Sarah-Jean Lindsay This whole song is about chasing your dreams even if you have to loose some thing or someone in the way. So yeah, this basically tells the entire movie...and it's AWESOME !!!
Not really, this song is about never give up on your dreams, and City of stars is the opposite, so both songs foreshadowed the ending, it's a choice between the 2.
Mark Armage Mark Armage “cause maybe in this sleepy town, he’ll (Sebastian) sit one day, the lights are down. He’ll see my (Mia’s) face and think of how he used to know me”. It literally describes the ending from Mia’s point of view. “and even when the answer’s no or when my money’s running low (Sebastian was poor) the dusty mic and neon glow are all I need. And some day as I sing the song a small town kid (Mia) will come along. That’ll be the thing to push him on and go” it describes Sebastians story
Is it just me, or this movie had a happy ending? *SPOILER* They helped each other when they needed it most, and will always be on each other's hearts even when they are not in love. They both accomplished their dreams (with the help of each other) and at they end that's why they smile: they know they made the right choice. That is real life, folks!
I bought the soundtrack and have been listening to it all day. It's amazing music. The whole movie is something we haven't seen since the old Hollywood musicals. I sure wish they would do more of these.
Just saw this movie yesterday. It reminds me of old movies where there's a lot of random dancing and singing to help tell the story, it was very nostalgic
Yep, girl's part is Emma's character story - aspiring actress, and the guy's part is Ryan's character - musician who wants to keep old, classic jazz music alive.
It wasn't shot downtown in los Angeles. According to a video on this particuilar scene, they leased the usage of a couple of freeway overpasses which are quite a ways from the Downtown LA area. The transition is at the transition of the 710 Long Beach Freeway and the 105 Ronald Reagan Freeway, located to the east of the South Central area of Los Angeles and LA County. Nevertheless, there was something like forty takes that took place of this opening scene and the temperatures were very hot. The inside of the truck with the tipani drum, flautist and brass was at leas a hundred and four degrees Farenheit and during several takes the door was stuck. I, for one, am one of the few Angelinos who loves living in Downtown where I always use public transportation and it saves me a great bundle. I'm also a native of LA and LA County and I"ve seen the great change that's been happening all around. I love riding on the Gold Line light rail line and zipping by traffic on the 210 Foothill freeway, which, like all the other freeways in LA, are very congested during rush hour. Even when I drove a car, I waited a couple of hours to leave when the traffic had by and large died down. Los Angeles exploded after WWII because of Hollywood but also the huge aero/space industries in the area. The population exploded and I remember when just my dad's mere paycheck was more than enough for he and my mom to purchase their first house. Those days, of course, are gone forever.
When I saw the film, I completely missed the lyrics (which really set up the characters and theme/backstory) because I was focused on the wild choreography high energy and wondering what this would all lead to - great number and now I see its story significance
i cant believe I'm not the only one in the same situation, been trying to find it for days with the song stuck in my head, thank god I've found it lmao
Excellent movie...definitely worth all of the hype. Outstanding music that makes you feel...congratulations to Justin Hurwitz for a great blend of jazz, classical & wonderful melodies.
I think about that day I left him at a greyhound station West of Santa Fe We were seventeen but he was sweet and it was true Still I did what I had to do 'Cause I just knew Summer-sunday nights We'd sink into our seats Right as they dimmed out all the lights A Technicolor world made out of music and machine It called me to be on that screen And live inside each scene Without a nickel to my name Hopped a bus here I came Could be brave or just insane We'll have to see 'Cause maybe in that sleepy town He'll sit one day the lights are down He'll see my face and think of how he used to know me Climb these hills I'm reaching for the heights And chasing all the lights that shine And when they let you down You'll get up off the ground 'Cause morning rolls around And it's another day of sun I hear 'em ev'ry day The rhythms in the canyons That'll never fade away The ballads in the barrooms Left by those who came before They say you gotta want it more So I bang on ev'ry door And even when the answer's no Or when my money's running low The dusty mic and neon glow Are all I need And someday as I sing my song A small-town kid'll come along That'll be the thing to push him on and go go Climb these hills I'm reaching for the heights And chasing all the lights that shine And when they let you down You'll get up off the ground 'Cause morning rolls around And it's another day of sun And when they let you down The morning rolls around It's another day of sun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun Just another day of sun It's another day of sun Another day has just begun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun
The melody evoqued a sense of heroic hope against odds even before I started paying attention to the lyrics (the first time I heard this song was as instrumental in another video). Great work from the composer(s)!
It's so hard for me to listen to any of the songs from this movie without crying real tears man. The movie was so beautiful and tugged at all the heart strings.
my freshman year, me and my friend who was a junior used to drive to our drumline’s parties after football games and when this played she always honked.. we had so fun and now I’m super nostalgic
Reminds me of commuting on the train back from uni after a long Friday, sun is shining, I’m taking in the London skyline before going back to the countryside. Ready to come back to my crush’s dance show and summer vibes study sessions with iced coffee or perhaps an orange and passion fruit J20. Then watching the sunset as the first stars illuminate the evening July sky, those were great days.
Sure, it was cool and all, but how about the fact that five guys were waiting in the back of a U-Haul probably suffering heat strokes as they waited for someone to open the door for them so they can play their instruments? Did they know there was gonna be a musical number?
Oh, please. Small children don't have the ability to get out of a hot car. Those are completely ambulatory ADULTS who agreed to be there in exchange for what was probably very decent pay, and who is to say there wasn't air conditioning inside that van? They may have very well been more comfortable that the dancers who were sweating it out in 115-degree heat.
And of course they "knew" there was going to be a musical number! Do you know anything at all about filmmaking? The whole thing was choreographed and carefully rehearsed for weeks!
Who could possibly thumbs down this track?! This is awesome! Please go and see this in movie if you haven't it in theaters. It's totally worth it, and if your human you will like it.
Not only this song but the movie is completely AMAZING it make you have mixed emotions at times you feel happy, sad, mad, etc. It make you feel like you, yourself are the character. Unexplainably amazing. *Takes hat off*
This musical turn my normal and ordinary day into a marvelous experience. The moment that the music begin, it instantenously put a happy smile in my face. Praise for Damien Chazelle for creating an unique musical and Justin Hurwitz for the music score. If we were completely captivated by some previous musicals, then in 30 years, we will tell our friends how we experienced this film A few words: Praise for "La La Land"
Someone I know did an absolutely gorgeous rendition of this song and I had to hear the original.... equally as amazing! I’ve gotta watch la la land now!
they finally did it! a musical that not only doesnt fucking suck, but that is also one of the best movies i have ever seen in a theater! i wub u lalaland! :3
(11/30/19) I watched this for the first time today and this was my favorite song. WOW-what a masterpiece La La Land is- the hype was well earned and lived up to! :)
There are some mistakes in you lyrics, so here's the right one: [Intro: First Girl] Ba-ba-da-ba da-ba-da-ba Ba-ba-ba ba-da-ba-da-ba Ba-ba-ba ba [Verse 1: First Girl] I think about that day I left him at a Greyhound station West of Santa Fé We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true Still I did what I had to do 'Cause I just knew Summer: Sunday nights We'd sink into our seats Right as they dimmed out all the lights A Technicolor world made out of music and machine It called me to be on that screen And live inside each scene [Pre-Chorus 1: First Girl & First Man] Without a nickel to my name Hopped a bus, here I came Could be brave or just insane [First Girl, First Man & Second Man] We'll have to see [First Girl] 'Cause maybe in that sleepy town He'll sit one day, the lights are down He'll see my face and think of how he... [First Girl, First Man, Second Man & Dancers] ...used to know me [Chorus: All] Climb these hills I'm reaching for the heights And chasing all the lights that shine And when they let you down You'll get up off the ground 'Cause morning rolls around And it's another day of sun [Verse 2: Young Man] I hear 'em ev'ry day The rhythms in the canyons That'll never fade away The ballads in the barrooms Left by those who came before They say "you gotta want it more" So I bang on ev'ry door [Pre-Chorus 2: Second Girl] And even when the answer's "no" Or when my money's running low The dusty mic and neon glow Are all I need [Young Man] And someday as I sing my song A small-town kid'll come along [Second Girl & Young Man] That'll be the thing to push him on and go go [Chorus: All] Climb these hills I'm reaching for the heights And chasing all the lights that shine And when they let you down You'll get up off the ground 'Cause morning rolls around And it's another day of sun [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: First Girl] And when they let you down The morning rolls around [All] It's another day of sun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun It's another day of sun Just another day of sun It's another day of sun Another day has just begun It's another day of sun [Outro] It's another day of sun
This movie is a huge part of what inspires and motivates me to pursue one of my biggest dreams: becoming a song writer/conductor/musician. Absolutely fantastic.
All I could've asked from this is to bump up the volume of the vocals a tad. Especially for the solos, I caught myself leaning in trying to hear. It seemed a little quiet and soft compared to the intensity and volume of the instrumentals. It must have been a sound mixing choice/issue. I get the notion of the purity of non-broadway voices and such, but volume is different than altering the pitch and such. Otherwise, great music and movie.
As I've heard they actually sang it live while filming.. like they did with Les Misérables :) It's hard to mix volumes when it's all recorded in one take, I guess
This song, its choreography, and the backdrop for the scene during which it is sung (the most spectacular freeway interchange in America), make up an epic moment in American film.
I agree!!!!
AND... WHAT GREAT TUNES!!!! OLD fashioned... and TOTALLY NEW... THE BEST BROADWAY TUNES IN OVER THIRTY YEARS!
alnot01 are AN? Plural of singular?
It's as iconic (and reminded me of) the scene in FAME where they do the dance in the street on top of the cars.

Thanks for posting this. It's amazing how many people on various sites are complaining that the opening number had nothing to do with the movie.

That was a beautiful movie but very sad. They need to make more movies like that.

Kevin Bradley I think in the end when we see Mia replaying how things could have gone better there is a good amount of regret, no?
Sam Bouajram Oh, I'm not saying they both don't have regrets. But what she saw was if he did everything right for her, it would have cost him his dream.

I went to this wonderful movie two times in a week, in my own opinion Emma Stone has great chance to win her an Oscar. Thanks for posting.
I also saw it twice haha. The movie was great and Emma Stone was a complete doll in the film.
i want to see it again
I watched it yesterday :). Now I'm kind of planning to watch it twice, really can't get enough of this charming musical.
I hope... I LOVED Ryan too!
agree!! planning of watching it again! GREAT movie!!
WHY CAN'T I STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG?!
I bought the soundtrack and have been listening to it all day. It's amazing music. The whole movie is something we haven't seen since the old Hollywood musicals. I sure wish they would do more of these.
Are you tired of the YOU CANT DO IT( SLOGANS) ?
Just saw this movie yesterday. It reminds me of old movies where there's a lot of random dancing and singing to help tell the story, it was very nostalgic
This Song never get out of My head.
And I unexplainably Love it.
And Now This Beautiful Lyric will help me more than ever Thanks

Am I the only one who listens to this music without ever having watched the film?
AYO WASSUP
I do too :)
I'm a slut for giant instrumental breaks with bodacious sound
You should watch it, at least once in your life

Lyrics at 0:48 literally foreshadow the end of the movie.

OH SHIT
Yep, girl's part is Emma's character story - aspiring actress, and the guy's part is Ryan's character - musician who wants to keep old, classic jazz music alive.
As a native Californian i firmly believe that they shot that downtown on a regular freeway because traffic is actually that bad...
It wasn't shot downtown in los Angeles. According to a video on this particuilar scene, they leased the usage of a couple of freeway overpasses which are quite a ways from the Downtown LA area. The transition is at the transition of the 710 Long Beach Freeway and the 105 Ronald Reagan Freeway, located to the east of the South Central area of Los Angeles and LA County. Nevertheless, there was something like forty takes that took place of this opening scene and the temperatures were very hot. The inside of the truck with the tipani drum, flautist and brass was at leas a hundred and four degrees Farenheit and during several takes the door was stuck. I, for one, am one of the few Angelinos who loves living in Downtown where I always use public transportation and it saves me a great bundle. I'm also a native of LA and LA County and I"ve seen the great change that's been happening all around. I love riding on the Gold Line light rail line and zipping by traffic on the 210 Foothill freeway, which, like all the other freeways in LA, are very congested during rush hour. Even when I drove a car, I waited a couple of hours to leave when the traffic had by and large died down. Los Angeles exploded after WWII because of Hollywood but also the huge aero/space industries in the area. The population exploded and I remember when just my dad's mere paycheck was more than enough for he and my mom to purchase their first house. Those days, of course, are gone forever.

This song really makes me want to buy a cheap flight to LA just with a bag of essentials and figure it out! I graduate this week!
Real and it makes me feel alive and I go somewhere without my parents always in my way or following me ^^
I couldn't help but applause after the opening number. It brought chills down my spine.
After seeing this movie I really love how this song not only explains the plot of the film but its also a really nice, positive and motivating song
And cocky pretty self centered.......is almost like whiplash dinner scene, when miles breaks up with the girl.....
Came here looking for this song from a Sakura CardCaptor: Memory Key ad took me 10 minutes😂
literally same I thought I was gonna go crazy finding it I’ve been getting the ad for the past week 😭
i cant believe I'm not the only one in the same situation, been trying to find it for days with the song stuck in my head, thank god I've found it lmao
Excellent movie...definitely worth all of the hype. Outstanding music that makes you feel...congratulations to Justin Hurwitz for a great blend of jazz, classical & wonderful melodies.
0:57 the foreshadowing :'(
nikkidancergirl I actually didn't notice that
no way we just came here from that cardcaptor sakura ad (they got good taste)
I think about that day
I left him at a greyhound station
West of Santa Fe
We were seventeen
but he was sweet and it was true
Still I did what I had to do
'Cause I just knew
Summer-sunday nights
We'd sink into our seats
Right as they dimmed out
all the lights
A Technicolor world
made out of music and machine
It called me to be on that screen
And live inside each scene
Without a nickel to my name
Hopped a bus here I came
Could be brave or just insane
We'll have to see
'Cause maybe in that sleepy town
He'll sit one day the lights are down
He'll see my face and think of how he
used to know me
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing
all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun
I hear 'em ev'ry day
The rhythms in the canyons
That'll never fade away
The ballads in the barrooms
Left by those who came before
They say you gotta want it more
So I bang on ev'ry door
And even when the answer's no
Or when my money's running low
The dusty mic and neon glow
Are all I need
And someday as I sing my song
A small-town kid'll come along
That'll be the thing
to push him on and go go
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing
all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun
And when they let you down
The morning rolls around
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Just another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Another day has just begun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Thank you for the lyrics. :)
broski its literally on the video ??
@@kyliecustodio9154 the video is actually slightly wrong
Not gonna lie, I never listened to this before and had my phone on auto play, and I thought it was crab rave.

I felt like I was the only person that thought this sounded like crab rave!!!
The melody evoqued a sense of heroic hope against odds even before I started paying attention to the lyrics (the first time I heard this song was as instrumental in another video). Great work from the composer(s)!
The start of this song is by far my favourite leitmotif in the whole movie. It's so energetic, light, and fun.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING THIS!! I LOVE this movie so much!!
When I go to LA in July, this will be what I play as I drive into the city. Time to chase the dream!

Who's listening to this in quarantine ?I mean this hits different when you can't go out and enjoy another day of sun..
my freshman year, me and my friend who was a junior used to drive to our drumline’s parties after football games and when this played she always honked.. we had so fun and now I’m super nostalgic
From Aria stream
What an opening number I Immediately went over and turned it up . I knew I was in for a treat , a great escape BRAVO !
amazing. we need more movies like this.
Reminds me of commuting on the train back from uni after a long Friday, sun is shining, I’m taking in the London skyline before going back to the countryside.

Then watching the sunset as the first stars illuminate the evening July sky, those were great days.
this movie inspires and encourages me a lot :) awesome movie ever!!!
The ending of this mivie broke my heart into pieces. I left the movie theather almost crying. They should have been together!
Sure, it was cool and all, but how about the fact that five guys were waiting in the back of a U-Haul probably suffering heat strokes as they waited for someone to open the door for them so they can play their instruments? Did they know there was gonna be a musical number?
Philip Terry Graham the title card said winter, but according to interviews of the director, this scene was shot during a heatwave!
its fiiiiiine! its fine
Murcia doxial That's as bad as keeping a child locked in the car during a heat wave
Oh, please. Small children don't have the ability to get out of a hot car. Those are completely ambulatory ADULTS who agreed to be there in exchange for what was probably very decent pay, and who is to say there wasn't air conditioning inside that van? They may have very well been more comfortable that the dancers who were sweating it out in 115-degree heat.
And of course they "knew" there was going to be a musical number! Do you know anything at all about filmmaking? The whole thing was choreographed and carefully rehearsed for weeks!
Greetings from coastal Mississippi. One of my favourite movies. This is my favourite song....Meet Ryan at our charity event. 🎉
Who could possibly thumbs down this track?! This is awesome! Please go and see this in movie if you haven't it in theaters. It's totally worth it, and if your human you will like it.
Not only this song but the movie is completely AMAZING it make you have mixed emotions at times you feel happy, sad, mad, etc. It make you feel like you, yourself are the character. Unexplainably amazing. *Takes hat off*
This is probably the best music I've even heard
this song makes me feel like i can make anything i dream of come true

Where can I find the whole stream
who?
I didn't know what to expect of this movie, y'know? But after this opening song, I was sold.
Did anyone else cry like a baby their first watching this? Nope? Just me? Okay. *Sniff*
Wait you did too?? 😂
I just sat there crying silently..
This opening sequence is one of _the single greatest_ in cinema history...bar none, full stop. Absolutely unbelievable in every way.
0:54 always thought it was “maybe in this sleepy town, i’ll sit one day when lights are down”
Someone I know did an absolutely gorgeous rendition of this song and I had to hear the original.... equally as amazing! I’ve gotta watch la la land now!
Every time I listen to this song. It always gives me a positive, happy, and joyful feeling that I haven't felt in a long time. Love this song! 💖
金ローで見て今でも聞きに来てしまう🙆すごく好き✨

There's sth missing
0:54, Lyrics：'Cuz maybe in that sleepy town

You'll fall in love eventually :)
I now play this every time I enter a city in a traffic jam! Great song!
(11/30/19) I watched this for the first time today and this was my favorite song. WOW-what a masterpiece La La Land is- the hype was well earned and lived up to! :)
Why didnt THIS win the oscar??
Just saw the film last night. This song.. that whole opening musical number is a work of cinematic genius.
따뜻하고 음악도 아주 좋아요
Every morning I wake up with this song on my phone.
*Me watching the clock go “Tik Tok” Tik Tok” as I wait for the video to load*
One of the best openings EVER!
There are some mistakes in you lyrics, so here's the right one:
[Intro: First Girl]
Ba-ba-da-ba da-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba-da-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba
[Verse 1: First Girl]
I think about that day
I left him at a Greyhound station
West of Santa Fé
We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true
Still I did what I had to do
'Cause I just knew
Summer: Sunday nights
We'd sink into our seats
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
A Technicolor world made out of music and machine
It called me to be on that screen
And live inside each scene
[Pre-Chorus 1: First Girl & First Man]
Without a nickel to my name
Hopped a bus, here I came
Could be brave or just insane
[First Girl, First Man & Second Man]
We'll have to see
[First Girl]
'Cause maybe in that sleepy town
He'll sit one day, the lights are down
He'll see my face and think of how he...
[First Girl, First Man, Second Man & Dancers]
...used to know me
[Chorus: All]
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun
[Verse 2: Young Man]
I hear 'em ev'ry day
The rhythms in the canyons
That'll never fade away
The ballads in the barrooms
Left by those who came before
They say "you gotta want it more"
So I bang on ev'ry door
[Pre-Chorus 2: Second Girl]
And even when the answer's "no"
Or when my money's running low
The dusty mic and neon glow
Are all I need
[Young Man]
And someday as I sing my song
A small-town kid'll come along
[Second Girl & Young Man]
That'll be the thing to push him on and go go
[Chorus: All]
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: First Girl]
And when they let you down
The morning rolls around
[All]
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Just another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Another day has just begun
It's another day of sun
[Outro]
It's another day of sun
CORRECT!
Best OST ever. And you can't make me change my mind.
not me listening to this on repeat while playing minecraft....
There's anything more uplifting than that instrumental break of the end.
Whos here from Micheal Reeves....
Superauthentic S S ayo
Same
Yes
Yes
Ye
This movie is a huge part of what inspires and motivates me to pursue one of my biggest dreams:
becoming a song writer/conductor/musician.
Absolutely fantastic.
1:25 Am I the only person who thinks this guys voice sounds absolutely amazing?
it's a long shot, but anyone know the name of the singer at 1:24?
This song makes you forget everything everything that's wrong and just makes you dance all your cares away ❤👏👏
we're playing this song in our school ensemble; this song is so upbeat! absolutely luv it!
i love this song
This musical made me appreciate the magic of theater 🎭 it opened my eyes
the library scene was filmed on my neighbors street. my BFF Got to meet Ema Stone in costume and take pictures!
The melody of this song has been stuck in my head. I am so happy I found it!
All I could've asked from this is to bump up the volume of the vocals a tad. Especially for the solos, I caught myself leaning in trying to hear. It seemed a little quiet and soft compared to the intensity and volume of the instrumentals. It must have been a sound mixing choice/issue. I get the notion of the purity of non-broadway voices and such, but volume is different than altering the pitch and such. Otherwise, great music and movie.
As I've heard they actually sang it live while filming.. like they did with Les Misérables :) It's hard to mix volumes when it's all recorded in one take, I guess
Eva Merckx They still sing into microphones and their sound can be edited before combined with the recorded instrumental.
