To me....this song is the HIGHLIGHT of Moana. It juz touches your heart....moves me in a great way.

I'm a simple woman, I see Lin on a thumbnail. I click

[poggieauggie]

Lin is the cutest human on the planet. "That sounds nice" 😂

[marthayate]

When I first heard that song and heard lin's voice I started screaming so hard my voice was hurting and my parents thought I was dying

[lilliecoats]

YALL I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE LIN WAS IN THIS OH MY GOD I CANT UNHEAR IT

[kirakira]

As a Pacific Islander when I heard this song in the theatre for the first time I couldn’t hold my tears. This song has such an impact for Pacific people, it’s really moving cuz it tells our story and those of our ancestors with so much pride.

OK, maybe I'm the only one who loves Moana and Hamilton. If Somebody else do, I'm willing to wait for it.

I was watching the movie and when I heard lin's voice my heart starting beating fast!

[Daymickey]

I think it's great that half the song is in tokelaun. It's so beautiful and authentic. They captured pride joy family and adventure in the sound of those voices, the words and the beat. I wish it were longer

[rachelward]

Lin is my favorite part of Moana. The first time I watched it, I hadn't listened to Hamilton yet. But I was babysitting my two cousins and we watched Moana. I heard Lin's voice and started freaking out. The two kids I were babysitting looked at me like they were concerned for my sanity. Honestly, they should be. That's what I get for being in the Hamilfam.

*Sees Lin on the thumbnail*
*gasps*
*clicks*

[jamesroberts]

I wish I'd known of Lin before I originally saw Moana

[zinone]

I didn’t even realise until now that Lin sung the english part of this song. I love them so much. As a Polynesian, I’m so happy Lin worked on this!

[tigeyavengerpotter]

One thing I didn’t know till late 2021 is that Lin, and all those guys was a HUGE part of my childhood. As a Polynesian we don’t really have much movies to represent us except for Lilo & Stitch, and this song for 4 years since it came out. It gives me such pride and joy, it makes me love my culture even more.

[Sara-glmg]

This song should definitely won a Oscar lin is such a wonderful man

[Butterflier]

THIS SING STILL BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES!!!!

so much emotion.

[aishidove]

We can all agree that Lin Manuel Miranda is one of the best singers ever.
I mean, he sang in Hamilton, Moana and many more films/musicals. And in all of them his voice is ａｍａｚｉｎｇ

[southwestsearch]

I grew up in NZ and I thought I knew most Polynesian songs. When I first heard this, I didn't recall ever hearing it before. No wonder! Congratulations on creating a new and memorable song!!

[galaxyrose]

When I heard Lin sing I could barely *stay alive*
