single from the "Moana Original Motion Picture Soundtrack", out October 28th.
Quote:
"How Far I'll Go" is Moana's song written by Miranda and is performed in the film by newcomer Auli'i Cravalho. The end-credit version of the song is performed by Canadian singer/songwriter and Def Jam recording artist Alessia Cara. http://www.broadwayworld.com/article...-Fall-20161024
I wonder which version will be a hit
The End Credit version is usually the one that slays, Celine Dion and Vanessa Williams can speak for it. But with Frozen, Idina Menzel completely overshadowed Demi Lovato
Anyway this is gonna give tons of exposure to Alessia
The soundtrack goes for pre-order this friday so there's a chance we might get Alessia's version soon? I don't know it seems smarter to me but it's not in Disney's statement.
The song is nice but can't help to be a bit disappointed, it's quite generic. The production at least is too modern for my taste and is not gonna echo with the disney fans, I know them. But it's the radio version, so it's expected.
I'm very excited to hear Auli'hi Cravalho's version. Which I'm sure will be with traditional instruments and will be way more organic. That's the version that has a chance to smash.

[Verse 1]
I've been standing at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go, though I long to be
[Chorus 1]
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind on my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
[Post-Chorus]
Go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I know everybody on this island, seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
[Chorus 2]
See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
[Chorus 1]
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind on my sail in t he sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go
The production at least is too modern for my taste and is not gonna echo with the disney fans, I know them. But it's the radio version, so it's expected. 
I LOVE IT!
