Disney's live-action remake of TheLittleMermaid gives audiences a mix of their favorite classics with modern tweaks.
that"getting to write music for these characters that are probably the reason I started writing musicals in the first place, was actually easier than I thought."
Eric, who gets an upgraded personality in the new film, yearns for the nautical adventures he finds on the open sea and the potential they hold to help advance his kingdom. He argues with his mother, Queen Seline , about how closed off their home is to other kingdoms and how his journeys could help them open trades and build relationships with other lands.
The song alludes to Ariel -- perhaps unconsciously -- haunting Eric with her siren song and spurring his intense desire to find her."All I ever wanted / Was the open sea and sky / Freedom from the life I always knew. / Now all I am is haunted / As days and hours roll by / All I ever think about is you," he sings."Now I am on the shoreline / But I'm still lost at sea / In these wild uncharted waters / Come find me... again.".
Ariel is also treated to a new, original song! In a clever workaround for the mermaid-turned-human lacking a voice for a large chunk of the story, Menken and Miranda wrote a song for Ariel -- who only sings once in the animated film -- after she's been welcomed into the castle with her new legs. In the third act, Scuttle -- now sporting some new feathers as a gannet rather than a seagull -- dives into Ariel's bedroom in the castle to deliver some important information to the mermaid and Sebastian. But, because of Scuttle's inability to tell a straightforward story, the bird's message gets muddled as she and Sebastian parse through the facts to land at the big news.
For"Poor Unfortunate Souls," where Ursula originally informs Ariel that"on land it's much preferred/for ladies not to say a word" and that"it's she who holds her tongue who gets a man," the new version drops that verse entirely.
