That's the beauty of it. It's a metaphor. Sure, he can lift a bail of hay the size of a house, and throw a shield like a frisbee over the horizon, but does he have the emotional strength to keep it together and, well… go the distance?
As a kid: "This is a good song." As a teen: "I also want to belong." *tears up a little* As an adult: "Hercules already had a place to belong. He had parents who loved him enough to let him go. That's some real shit right there." *cries loudly*
@MarceloMedeiros-iv2xi coughs, it's HERAcles not Hercules, Hercules is the roman version, Heracles is greek. And wasn't the child of Hera, he was one of Zeus children indeed, but Zeus hooked up with mortals as we say it a few times.
hmm at what number are they in now? 250 might take too long?? but yes totally agree or they should at least do one every other year :) there's almost something more personal with traditional hand drawn animation. I mean digital/cg is great but there's something about this style that's just timeless
I always miss it. I can enjoy the newer animation style, but I'll always prefer drawing to complete computer animation. That's why when Princess and the Frog came out I was so excited :D
I dedicate this song to my late son who passed away last year to an illness that effected him so harshly doctors couldn't understand how he made it 3 extra years. I believe he was just that full of life and did it for those that loved him. My real life Hercules 💙 Sylas
Swarmage Anyone who says Frozen is anywhere near as good as half of classic Disney ultimately have damned themselves to eternal suffering in the bowels of Hell.
Movies like this, where the hero grew up an outcast and tries to find his place in the worlds, really spoke to me as a kid. Hercules, Tarzan, Treasure Planet and Hunchback were all so relatable to me bc i never felt like i belonged anywhere. We need more Disney movies like this out there for the little boys who need a confidence boost the same way girls do with their princesses. I mean im all for empowering young women and all, but that doesn't mean guys don't have our own share of troubles.
I think the word you were looking for was relatable, not repeatable, but I completely agree. I loved these movies as a kid and they most certainly had an impact on me growing up
The best one!? I never thought of it like that. It certainly is beautiful. I am muslim, I know the prophet Muhammed pbuh sent a letter to Hercules. I must look up more. Smile always and do not ever give up! 😉 😁
And he loves them. But you have to remember hes a man with very literal knowledge of his own powers. The village despise him cause even though he ment well he causes bigger issues
I love his (adoptive) parents so much in this movie. They did everything they could to equip him when he wanted to know who his bio parents were. It probably hurt to let him search but they loved him so much and they didn’t try to make him feel bad for wanting to know
As a kid sheltered from most music and grew up in an unhealthy house, this song got me through a lot. It is so beautiful, and gave me so much hope. I wanted to live through him, as if all the hard ships I lived were going to be worth it. And they were, oh god they were.
You know what’s strange, I had foster parents who were Jehovah’s Witnesses and restricted a lot of stuff from their kids, yet they actually owned this movie despite the depiction of false gods in it. They made it clear to their children that the Greek gods aren’t real though.
How does it feel to be successful in something significant Ime 28 and have never experienced it. All I have done is fail at everything i try... maybe one day ill be successful in something important.
"Where the crowds will cheer... When they see my face...." That line strikes at my soul like a thunderbolt. Gods know how often I've felt there's no place left in the world for me.
I have had that exact feeling! I felt that emptiness and kept working at it! My advice for feeling like you belong/matter and to have people cheer when they see your face is to do exactly that for others. Cheer on their efforts and accomplishments. Give a big warm welcome that says to them "you belong here,you matter". It will pay dividends!
Well... yeah... and after you spent like 10 years of coming to understand the link between this and your life and then this song pops up and it hits you like a freight train...

I know this will be lost in the comments, but I still want to get my feelings down.. a long time ago, when I was 7-8 years old, when I knew nothing about how the world worked and I didn’t have a job, My mother would sing this all the time, sometimes in the kitchen, sometimes in the living room, or even as a lullaby. Not knowing what the lyrics meant or the meaning of the song, I still would listen. When I would cry or when I was sad she would sing this, or when she was just straight up bored. Now I’m 19 and living on my own while not knowing what I want in life, I’ve recently been clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety and it was getting to a point where I was beginning to feel suicidal. And now, in the dead of midnight, after all these years, I come across this song, and it reminded me of the time when my mother would sing this to me and I couldn’t help but cry. I now understand what the song means and why she would sing it. She wanted me to be strong, but not only that, she wanted me to thrive, not give up. I can’t believe it took me this long to find the meaning in this song, for it will forever be a remembrance of my mother and her sweet lullaby. I know now not to give up, and not just survive, but flourish. I want my mom to be proud and show her that I can make it. I’ll one day see you again, just give me time, and it’ll be me that sings this song. And if you’re reading this, I love you with all my heart. ❤️
Exactly. I pity the children growing up now, the movies coming out now are mostly awful with a boring plot. Also, barely any of them know anything about nature, not even how to identify an oak tree, yet they'll all know how to work an iPhone.
Love this song. It got nominated for the Oscar in 1998 for best original song, but lost out to Titanic's " My heart Will Go On". So glad it got the recognition. Hercules is my favorite Disney movie and Hades is my favorite Disney villian!
Hercules "Go The Distance" and Anastasia "Journey To The Past" are both my songs that got nominated for Best Original Song but both lost to "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.
Hercules feels so relatable in this movie, and only now as an adult I truly understand. Not feeling like you fit in anywhere, feeling different, like you belong somewhere else. And a journey to find your place in this world, to go your own distance. This movie is my childhood.
I read it and it is really messed up. The rest of the mythology isn't any better as most of the gods and goddesses act like spoiled brats when they don't get their way 😂
@James L now, I might be wrong but I believe he was decieved by his wife and poisoned with centaur blood on his favourite shirt. centaur blood is like acid and so, Hercules met a painful demise. realizing what she had done, she killed herself in despair over losing her husband even though he was unfaithful
This movie and especially this song always gives me faith to be a better person for those around me. This was my favorite childhood movie hands down. Ran around with my Hercules tank top picking up "heavy things" curling my arm to show my muscles. Now being 29 and listening to this song and its meaning has made me want to become mentally stronger and to find that place where I belong. There's so much inspiration in the movies that we watched when we were younger but it only becomes meaningful when we view them as adults. If you're reading this, the journey that you're taking is not alone, I'm here with you and so are the people that love and care for you. Be strong, you'll find that place where you belong ❤🌠
I am 29 years old, now you will be 31, I think exactly the same as you, I wanted to tell you that just because of this comment you show yourself to be a wonderful person and that surely you are very happy because I believe in karma and that if you are a good person, destiny offers you things Good morning, reading this has made my day and I wanted to make it happy for you and I hope I succeeded, greetings mate.
I had a friend in high school who could play kind of a soft piano arrangement of this song. We were all music kids and he’d play it occasionally if we ever had the opportunity to just hang out in the band room. It would be just some background music. Now whenever I hear this song it puts me in such a nostalgic mood
[Verse 1] I have often dreamed of a far-off place Where a great, warm welcome will be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be [Chorus] I will find my way, I can go the distance I'll be there someday, if I can be strong I know every mile will be worth my while I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus] I am on my way, I can go the distance I don't care how far, somehow I'll be strong I know every mile will be worth my while I would go most anywhere to find where I belong
A perfect encapsulation of the struggle of being a misfit trying to find his/her place in the world. Despite being a square peg in a round hole, you can maintain an indomitable will if you devote yourself to a noble, higher cause. If you can live an honest life and be humble then every mile will be worth your while. Don't give up, don't think you alone. Somewhere in the world there's another person who may not look like you but whistles the same tune.
I have often dreamed of a far-off place Where a great, warm welcome will be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be I'll will find my way, I can go the distance I'll be there someday, if I can be strong I know every mile will be worth my while I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong [Intrumental interlude] I am on my way, I can go the distance I don't care how far, somehow I'll be strong I know every mile will be worth my while I would go most anywhere to find where I belong
FuckHumans haha :D man in those dark days thanks for everytime you humans and your stupid and silly but yet so funny ideas make me smile :) I haven't smiled a lot lately :)
My friend from childhood loved this song, it was his favorite and it's been a while since I'd last listened to it. Still as beautiful as ever. He passed away over fifteen years ago now and I still say the lyrics sometimes.

I love how Hercules just always knew he was different and special and wanted to find where he came from and where his rightful place was but be never doubted who his family was. His first reaction to hearing he has godly parents is excitement and he immediately looks guilty and assures "Ma and Pops" that they're his parents and he loves them. Hits hard for me because I'm adopted too. And I like that they show throughout the movie his adoptive parents were just his parents, he got rich and built their home into a mansion, in the closing credits he brings Meg to meet them, but the most touching thing is when he first sets out his mother puts a shawl around him and kisses him. He never gets rid of that shawl. That's the mini cape he wears as a hero
well... if you post this question in the commentary section of "I can go the distance", what answers do you expect? XD Hercules is a wonderful movie nevertheless :3
I’m a Disney nerd.. and this is my favorite Disney song ever. It always gives me chills, or makes me cry and I finally realize it’s because I don’t feel that I belong in this world. I, too, would give anything to find where I belong, even still, as an adult.. lol
And people like you give us hope. Because no matter what, we will always have people like you who encourage us, meaning you deserve it just as much. - A Fact
I always listen to this when I visit my fiancé in LA / LAS. I’ve to travel all the way from Germany and I always listen to this when the plane lifts off!
...Goddammit TH-cam. I don't have time for childhood nostalgia at the moment, I got shit to do man! ...Shit, I'm already sucked in. Oh look, Strangers Like Me. *clicks Tarzan video*
This song gets me every time. I grew up with my grandparents as my mother struggled with postnatal depression. It was around the time this film came out (I was 7) that I found out they were not my real parents and I longed to know my real ones. It didn’t take me long to realise I’d already been brought up by my “real parents” ❤️
does anyone else get emo when he changes from "feel like I belong" to "find where I belong"? Like he starts by not knowing if he'll belong anywhere and then he realizes that there is a place for him in the world and he will one day find it.
Indeed, both sets, one of the things I like about the cartoon series is that they and Herc never forgot that as much as Zeus and Hera were his parents, the couple who raised him were his parents too
5 ปีที่แล้ว +132
I associate this with Moana's "How Far I'll Go" since both are people going on a journey of finding themselves and dreams
Yue Jin It's fine that we have them. There is room in this world. The important thing is, is that this song and others like it exist and as long as we remember them, they will always be better.
This song has always resonated with me, "I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong..." almost about to hit the big 30 and nvr felt like I have. Hoping someday that changes.
When he said sometimes he feels he doesn't belong there and that he feels he should be somewhere else...I felt that! As an adult, these lyrics really hit me in a deeper way because I understand what they mean! 😢❤❤
this song made such an huge impact in my life. I know that if I stick on and get through school, I will go the distance and at the end of the road there will be someone and hug me and that's all I want. that hug at the end of the road. To be loved and to love.
There's someone out there right now who needs to here this song and know that even when they don't feel like they belong there's always a place for them
you know zeus and posiedon are brothers and hercules is Zeus's son while triton is posiedons son and tritons daughter is Ariel therefore Hercules is ariels second cousin
Melissa Bartsch Not true, the Posiedon in Ariel is not the same one they had feature on Hercules show. they are two diffrent Posiedons. lol don't worry. I used to think that too
Actually, they are first cousins once removed. A first cousin once removed is either the first cousin of your parent or the child of your first cousin while second cousins have the same great grandparents. In this case, Ariel's father's first cousin is Hercules making them first cousins once removed.
i get that a lot too....its because for me, ive always wanted that too....to go somewhere where everyone loves me and has been waiting with open arms...ive always been so invisible and replaceable so just once i wish i wasnt...
have often dreamed Of a far of place Where a great, warm, welcome Will be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer When they see my face And a voice keeps saying This is where I'm meant to be I will find my way I can go the distance I'll be there someday If I can be strong I know every mile Will be worth my while I would go most anywhere To feel like I belong I am on my way I can go the distance I don't care how far Somehow I'll be strong I knew very mile Will be with my while I would go most anywhere To find where I belong
In ancient mythology, Hercules had the greatest strengths that any man could want, but also was troubled by the most glaring weaknesses. He suffered from an ego, stubbornness, temper and at times a complete lack of intelligence. His final death came from being tricked into becoming poisoned.

Thx I just found that out from you
Your comment just pointed this out to me 🤭
"Somehow I will be strong".
He says as he knocks down a fucking tree.
That's the beauty of it. It's a metaphor. Sure, he can lift a bail of hay the size of a house, and throw a shield like a frisbee over the horizon, but does he have the emotional strength to keep it together and, well… go the distance?
Hahahaha

Yea the "as an adult" is too accurate. He could've stayed with his mortal parents and probably would've been happier (if anyone knows the mythology).
Too real. Thanks for this.

RAGESENPAI Flowers That’s the power of music!
Yeah...
YESSSSS
We all would
YES SIR!
They don't make them like they used to. The 90s was a great decade growing up with films.
Winduct Amen brother.
Tarzan, Lilo and Stitch, toy story, bugs life. such a great era
The Lion King. 'nuff said.
Exactly. I pity the children growing up now, the movies coming out now are mostly awful with a boring plot. Also, barely any of them know anything about nature, not even how to identify an oak tree, yet they'll all know how to work an iPhone.
Winduct ikr all the kids movies were great from Disney, to DreamWorks, to Nickelodeon all of them had great movies
Love this song. It got nominated for the Oscar in 1998 for best original song, but lost out to Titanic's " My heart Will Go On". So glad it got the recognition. Hercules is my favorite Disney movie and Hades is my favorite Disney villian!
Me too.
Hercules "Go The Distance" and Anastasia "Journey To The Past" are both my songs that got nominated for Best Original Song but both lost to "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.
Hades and Yzma are the only 2 villains who are actually just fed up adults surrounded by overgrown children, and they can't take it anymore.
Same same
What an amazing film year
I love how Disney characters just randomly burst into song😂😂😂
come on let hercules have his disney princess moment
Not quite. In earlier Disney musicals, they followed a principal of 'if it's too strong for words, sing'
Ever watched bollywood?
Me to its really funny and cool.😅
That’s...that’s the point....
Hercules feels so relatable in this movie, and only now as an adult I truly understand. Not feeling like you fit in anywhere, feeling different, like you belong somewhere else. And a journey to find your place in this world, to go your own distance.
This movie is my childhood.
I too sing this when I make the treacherous journey from my couch to my kitchen.
+teddy9063
LOL SAME HAHAHA FUNNY
Oh my gosh that's so funny I could not stop laughing
Willa Rattenborg
right!? lol this is soooo me though
+teddy9063 Lol,this is hillarious!
Omg this comment just made my day😂😂😂😂
im 30 and have anxiety.. but still watching this movie many times.. makes me full of hope and strength along my journey..salute!
2:30 "somehow I'll be strong" as he tips over a tree lol
MarioOwnsAl1 Oh gosh, so true.
DarthVader That isn’t even his final form
Strong doesn't always refer to physical strength. There's also the matter of the inner person. I'm just saying.
Started with Mulan songs, two hours later...still listening to Disney songs.
oh no someone has disney fever
That's exactly what I did too! :D
Just heard "Make a man out of you" and now this one. Oh boy. Talk about a lost night.
metalmilitia89 that is exactly what i did
only two hours? i started years ago and am still going :) Disney has some amazing songs that make you want to just stop and feel
Before you read the myth: This is so inspiring
After you read the myth: Should have stayed at home Herc
I read it and it is really messed up. The rest of the mythology isn't any better as most of the gods and goddesses act like spoiled brats when they don't get their way 😂
I mean, he did kind of get a happy ending. After a whooooole lot of bad stuff
He did become a god. But the Christian version of the tale is by far the most tragic one.
@James L now, I might be wrong but I believe he was decieved by his wife and poisoned with centaur blood on his favourite shirt. centaur blood is like acid and so, Hercules met a painful demise. realizing what she had done, she killed herself in despair over losing her husband even though he was unfaithful
@James L hmmmm I told you I might be wrong. Thought that was the Christian one since Hercules became a god
This movie and especially this song always gives me faith to be a better person for those around me. This was my favorite childhood movie hands down. Ran around with my Hercules tank top picking up "heavy things" curling my arm to show my muscles. Now being 29 and listening to this song and its meaning has made me want to become mentally stronger and to find that place where I belong. There's so much inspiration in the movies that we watched when we were younger but it only becomes meaningful when we view them as adults. If you're reading this, the journey that you're taking is not alone, I'm here with you and so are the people that love and care for you. Be strong, you'll find that place where you belong ❤🌠
Thank you for this whole comment bro! God bless you my guy. Made my day reading this while visiting this song again for motivation 😇🙏

Thank you, i wish you to that you find the place where you belong.
I am 29 years old, now you will be 31, I think exactly the same as you, I wanted to tell you that just because of this comment you show yourself to be a wonderful person and that surely you are very happy because I believe in karma and that if you are a good person, destiny offers you things Good morning, reading this has made my day and I wanted to make it happy for you and I hope I succeeded, greetings mate.
Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Hercules, and Mulan has to be the best of Disney animated movies.
arent you forgeting tarzan
wowhalofreak2 yest forgot about it, also aladdin.
And Little mermaid, and hunchback :)
Pretty much all of them
Happuhkilling Brother Bear though
the year is 2020: “I CAN SOCIAL DISTANCE.” 😭

@@ChitenBugMan yes it is too good haha
Susie Jun I swear
This is genius I'm dying
This song literally gives me so much hope. Hope for what, I'm not really sure. Just... hope.
Hope for a happy and successful life!!!!!
Me too. You're not alone.

I had a friend in high school who could play kind of a soft piano arrangement of this song. We were all music kids and he’d play it occasionally if we ever had the opportunity to just hang out in the band room. It would be just some background music. Now whenever I hear this song it puts me in such a nostalgic mood
THE FEELS! OH MY GOD! MY PARENTS DIDN'T SIGN THE PERMISSION SLIP FOR THIS FEELS TRIP!
Tanner Sandell lol don't show them in the first place 😭
Tanner Sandell I feel for you
You can go the distance.
I can't go the distance...
Tanner Sandell yuuuuu is y
Years later I finally relise WHY I cried at this when I was a kid. Why it gave me such chills, why it felt so... Right.
This movie is a masterpiece.
[Verse 1]
I have often dreamed of a far-off place
Where a great, warm welcome will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
[Chorus]
I will find my way, I can go the distance
I'll be there someday, if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong
[Instrumental interlude]
[Chorus]
I am on my way, I can go the distance
I don't care how far, somehow I'll be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to find where I belong
A perfect encapsulation of the struggle of being a misfit trying to find his/her place in the world. Despite being a square peg in a round hole, you can maintain an indomitable will if you devote yourself to a noble, higher cause. If you can live an honest life and be humble then every mile will be worth your while. Don't give up, don't think you alone. Somewhere in the world there's another person who may not look like you but whistles the same tune.
I have often dreamed of a far-off place

I'm using this to power through my homework lmfao xD
And this very day that rock is still skipping.
Go ROCK GO!
Instantly imagined The Rock in the movie hercules, sitting down reminiscing about traveling the ocean while singing " I can go the distance". lol
Well done FuckHumans . Well done.
TheSataniclion
cannot unimagine.
FuckHumans haha :D man in those dark days thanks for everytime you humans and your stupid and silly but yet so funny ideas make me smile :) I haven't smiled a lot lately :)
Christoph Schneeweiss .. I .. I. Idk im speechless
My friend from childhood loved this song, it was his favorite and it's been a while since I'd last listened to it. Still as beautiful as ever. He passed away over fifteen years ago now and I still say the lyrics sometimes.

Oooh shit son that was smooth as fuck.

Thanks :)
I heard Gaten Matarazzo singing this... kind of like him singing it better :/
Ah, Disney's Hercules. Instead of the tragic Greek hero, we got Disney's version of Superman.
Is that a bad thing?
chazworthingtonhunts No, but I do find it kind of funny how similar Disney's Hercules is to Superman.
Superman was based off of some Greek archetypical heroes, so it comes full circle
+Colin Preston Yeah.His adopted parents just happened to be just around the corner, like the couple in the superman movie.
ho bebe I know, I feel like Disney took the myths of Hercules added the origin of Superman, the stories Elvis and Rocky, and got this movie.
I love how Hercules just always knew he was different and special and wanted to find where he came from and where his rightful place was but be never doubted who his family was. His first reaction to hearing he has godly parents is excitement and he immediately looks guilty and assures "Ma and Pops" that they're his parents and he loves them. Hits hard for me because I'm adopted too. And I like that they show throughout the movie his adoptive parents were just his parents, he got rich and built their home into a mansion, in the closing credits he brings Meg to meet them, but the most touching thing is when he first sets out his mother puts a shawl around him and kisses him. He never gets rid of that shawl. That's the mini cape he wears as a hero
He didn't know he was special. He felt like a freak and just wanted to fit in
Who's better Hercules generation or frozen generation ? I'm saying Hercules generation absolutely ✋🏼❤️💙
well... if you post this question in the commentary section of "I can go the distance", what answers do you expect? XD
Hercules is a wonderful movie nevertheless :3
Hercules generation
Lion King generation stomps both.
LION KING STOMPS OUT BOTH BOOM!!!
Lion King and Hercules came out within years of each other lol they're the same Generation
2:30 "Somehow I'll be strong!"
He says while freaking uprooting a tree!
Mentally not physically
Sigel110 I know. It's just a little ironic.
kash smith
i know right!!!!!
Lion Blaze
though i get more of a kick out of, "if i can be strong" XD

“You’ve been a graduate for 8 months and still haven’t landed a job. How do you stay motivated?”

How's it going
Hey, how are you now?? I hope you're doing fine...
@@reginawineini4762 I'm the same way, in December I'll have a job though 😊 I bet the man's doing okay.
bro i graduated 2021 and i feel the same
Hehe
The artstyle of this animation is breathtaking.
Indeed! It was a combination of Gerald Scarfe, Greek designs, and good ol' Disney. Just in case you wanted to know where to go for reference😁
I’m a Disney nerd.. and this is my favorite Disney song ever. It always gives me chills, or makes me cry and I finally realize it’s because I don’t feel that I belong in this world. I, too, would give anything to find where I belong, even still, as an adult.. lol
Honestly everything you just said, same
2:16-2:22 me too.
❤❤❤❤❤
You do though.. everyone has a place.. you may not realize it yet. Or you haven’t reached it yet, but you will.

I always listen to this when I visit my fiancé in LA / LAS. I’ve to travel all the way from Germany and I always listen to this when the plane lifts off!
...Goddammit TH-cam. I don't have time for childhood nostalgia at the moment, I got shit to do man!
...Shit, I'm already sucked in. Oh look, Strangers Like Me. *clicks Tarzan video*
Damn, TH-cam.
Eagle Damn you! Soon as I saw that comment I looked for Tarzan and there it is lol... and the journey down memory lane begins rofl!
jjleejj I know! How do they expect us to be productive when they got all this nostalgia!
Now I will go down memory lane, see you.
Eagle "WHATEVER YOU DO.. I'LL DO IT TOO~"
If you don't like it don't watch it you jack ass
This is probably one of the best Disney songs ever written. It gets me right in the feels 😭
This song gets me every time. I grew up with my grandparents as my mother struggled with postnatal depression. It was around the time this film came out (I was 7) that I found out they were not my real parents and I longed to know my real ones. It didn’t take me long to realise I’d already been brought up by my “real parents” ❤️
Disney inspired a lot of young people back in the 90s!
2:37-2:44 I know, right?
Yep like me
@@nathancruz9172 dammit, you again
And now it's just a pandering, money-grubbing corporate overlord.
@@skeeplebop back then Disney tried now it’s just money money money it’s not fair and that’s from someone who was born in the 2000s

I'm 23 I love Disney man my childhood was amazing.
***** nice i have my panasonic one too and the cassette tapes
Neevkl_7 me to
Disney movies isnt only for the little kids, it's for every teens, adults, elders, boys and girls. It's for anyone hungry for a great story
Michael Richard SAME
Michael Richard I'm 23 too and I love Disney 😭
does anyone else get emo when he changes from "feel like I belong" to "find where I belong"? Like he starts by not knowing if he'll belong anywhere and then he realizes that there is a place for him in the world and he will one day find it.
yes 😿
You are nice hi 🐱🐱😂🚿
I think my favorite part of this, is when he said someday i'll be strong. Then he pushes over a tree.
After the lion king this is my second fav disney movie.
Exactly
Charlie Bank You should. Probably the best Disney movie ever.
Lion King's overrated. I don't get all the fuss about it. Hercules's my all-time Disney fav.
Bob Mendoza Were you alive in 1994? The animation was groundbreaking back then, it has a great story and a fantastic soundtrack.
+charmedfan7704 nope, I was born in 1997, I like the Lion King but not as much as other Disney movies like Hercules.
Such a powerful song ! Hercules is a true masterpiece ! So underrated.
This song has a whole meaning to know that life is worth living. Once I believe that I can do the imaginable, I can truly go the distance!
Can we just admit that Hercules had the best parents ever?
Indeed, both sets, one of the things I like about the cartoon series is that they and Herc never forgot that as much as Zeus and Hera were his parents, the couple who raised him were his parents too
I associate this with Moana's "How Far I'll Go" since both are people going on a journey of finding themselves and dreams
It is the ,the hero is starting the adventure song' Frozen 2s into the unknown is also one of that kind.
Hunchback of notre dam as well
Except this movie, unlike Moana, is actually a well crafted story.
I’m actually here re-hearing the song because of a mashup with How far I’ll go. It fits perfectly.
@@melaniem8905 I haven't seen Frozen 2 yet, but Into The Unknown sounds pretty mystical
back when music really inspired u. this song saved my life.
you too huh
yup
Good for you!
Dr. Felix ASMR
Now we got Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez & One Silly Direction
Yue Jin It's fine that we have them. There is room in this world. The important thing is, is that this song and others like it exist and as long as we remember them, they will always be better.
Disney just knows how to make you cry and cheer at the same time ❤ .
20 years since the movie came out!!
Disneyanimefrantic I feel so old
Thanks kagome 😂
It really came out 3 years before I was born? Wow. This is one of my Disney favorites.
Thanks a lot for that comment. As if I didn't feel old enough already 😂😂😂😂
Disneyanimefrantic 😲
This song has always resonated with me, "I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong..." almost about to hit the big 30 and nvr felt like I have. Hoping someday that changes.
when you go shopping for your mom
Hahaha wtf
Fluffy Chickenunicorndog when your mom asks you go shopping for her and you tell your self /i can go the distance'
+Scott Buckley yeah i know I get it, it's just some of these other lyrics make it funnier "and a great warm welcome will be waiting for me" xD
Fluffy Chickenunicorndog ok i never saw the warm welcome angle before thanks
I thought you meant when you go shopping for your mom as in you go shopping to buy a mother of your choice 😂
GOD THIS SONG IS STILL AMAZING AFTER 20+ YEARS
When he said sometimes he feels he doesn't belong there and that he feels he should be somewhere else...I felt that! As an adult, these lyrics really hit me in a deeper way because I understand what they mean! 😢❤❤
Just started kingdom hearts 3 and had to play this before I started the first world.
Ryan Stevens mate I’ve been looking for a comment related to this 😂
Oml so true, I wish I did this but I already finished the game :T
I still have yet to finish the game
KH 4 EVERRRRR
My brother finished it but I still haven't
this song made such an huge impact in my life. I know that if I stick on and get through school, I will go the distance and at the end of the road there will be someone and hug me and that's all I want. that hug at the end of the road. To be loved and to love.
Auryn mml
Over a decade later and this is still the best 90s Disney movie ever to be made. I get nostalgic feelings everytime 🤙🏽
There's someone out there right now who needs to here this song and know that even when they don't feel like they belong there's always a place for them
That’s me right now - god bless you
Watching these movies on a VHS tape back home with my ma and pa
That was all the distance I needed back then
you know zeus and posiedon are brothers
and hercules is Zeus's son
while triton is posiedons son and tritons daughter is Ariel
therefore
Hercules is ariels second cousin
Melissa Bartsch Not true, the Posiedon in Ariel is not the same one they had feature on Hercules show. they are two diffrent Posiedons. lol don't worry. I used to think that too
Actually, they are first cousins once removed. A first cousin once removed is either the first cousin of your parent or the child of your first cousin while second cousins have the same great grandparents. In this case, Ariel's father's first cousin is Hercules making them first cousins once removed.
+Regan Robinson Poseidon wasn't in Ariel, that was King Triton, Poseidon's son.
Technically they 1st cousins once removed
omg mind blowing 😮
One of the best Disney movies.
It's not talked about enough.
"Somehow I'll be strong" he says while uprooting a friggin tree
Ryan Brown OMG thank you for this comment
He meant mentally/emotionally strong
Lol I can't
This song always makes me cry
well then disney got a strong grip on yo soul, I can't lie tho disney does warm my soul too
I know the feeling
me too
i get that a lot too....its because for me, ive always wanted that too....to go somewhere where everyone loves me and has been waiting with open arms...ive always been so invisible and replaceable so just once i wish i wasnt...
it's supposed to be inspiring
have often dreamed
Of a far of place
Where a great, warm, welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
To feel like I belong
I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I knew very mile
Will be with my while
I would go most anywhere
To find where I belong
In ancient mythology, Hercules had the greatest strengths that any man could want, but also was troubled by the most glaring weaknesses. He suffered from an ego, stubbornness, temper and at times a complete lack of intelligence. His final death came from being tricked into becoming poisoned.
