Tra le pellicole cinematografiche più attese di fine anno c’è senza dubbio The Greatest Showman, progetto incentrato sulla biografia di Phineas Taylor Barnum, imprenditore e circense tra i più noti della storia. Ad interpretare il ruolo del protagonista troviamo Hugh Jackman, che torna a cimentarsi in un film-musical dopo l’acclamata partecipazione ne Les Misérables.
Accanto a lui Michelle Williams, nei panni della moglie di Barnum, Rebecca Ferguson (l’attrice, non l’omonima cantante), Zac Efron e Zendaya.
Dopo le esperienze canore in Hairspray e High School Musical Efron si rimette dunque in gioco anche come cantante, cosa che sembra entusiasmare la sua folta schiera di fans. E’ proprio con lui che Zendaya canta il duetto Rewrite The Stars, brano promozionale rilasciato ieri e disponibile con il pre-ordine della colonna sonora.
Si tratta di una intensa e coinvolgente ballad in cui il personaggio di Zac e quello di Zendaya si scambiano bellissime parole d’amore, consci del fatto che il resto del mondo è contro la loro relazione.
A seguire l’audio:
Testo
[Verse 1: Zac Efron]
You know I want you
It’s not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don’t keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it’s not in the cards
But fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you’re here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you’re my destiny?
[Chorus: Zac Efron]
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You’d be the one I was meant to find
It’s up to you, and it’s up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don’t we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
[Verse 2: Zendaya]
You think it’s easy
You think I don’t want to run to you
But there are mountains
And doors that we can’t walk through
I know you’re wondering why
Because we’re able to be
Just you and me
But within these walls
Know that when we go outside
You’re going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all
[Chorus: Zendaya]
No one can rewrite the stars
How can we say you’ll be mine
Everything keeps us apart
And I’m not the one you were meant to find
It’s not up to you
It’s not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can’t be ours
Tonight
[Verse 3: Zac Efron and Zendaya]
All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
[Zendaya]
If it’s impossible?
[Zac Efron]
It’s not impossible
[Zendaya]
Is it impossible?
[Both]
Say that it’s possible
[Chorus: Zac Efron and Zendaya]
How do we rewrite the stars?
And say you were meant to be mine?
And nothing can keep us apart
Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It’s up to you
And it’s up to me
No one can say what we get to be
Why don’t we rewrite the stars?
Taking the world to be ours
[Outro: Zendaya]
You know I want you
It’s not a secret I try to hide
But I can’t have you
We’re bound to break and
My hands are tied
