Audition (The Fools Who Dream)

《La La Land》Audition (The Fools Who Dream)

Lyrics

My aunt used to live in Paris.
I remember, she used to come home and she would tell us these stories about being abroad.
And I remember, she told us that she jumped into the river once. Barefoot.

She smiled...

Leapt without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again

Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make

She captured a feeling
Sky with no ceiling
The sunset inside a frame

She lived in her liquor
And died with a flicker
I'll always remember the flame

Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make

She told me:
"A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us?
And that's why they need us"

So bring on the rebels
The ripples from pebbles
The painters, and poets, and plays

And here's to the fools who dream
Crazy as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that break
Here's to the mess we make

I trace it all back to then
Her, and the snow, and the Seine
Smiling through it
She said she'd do it again

Short introduce

Performed by Emma Stone, US.
Received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 89th Academy Awards.

"La La Land" stars Stone and Ryan Gosling as a struggling actress and musician who fall in love while trying to make it in L.A. The song comes from the scene when Mia is asked to tell a story during her audition as a leading actress.


Why I likes the song?

When I was watching 《La La Land》. This is the song I like the most.

The song really touches me. Despite the cruel that dreams won't always come true. But the most certainty thing is have we try our best? Would you do it again? Reminded me to insist on doing things I love. All it takes is courage to achieve your dreams . 

So keep the faith, don't forget the passion we have, be a fool who dreams.

Key words:
barefoot
:not wearing anything on your feet
We took off our shoes and socks and walked barefoot along the beach.

ceiling
:the highest limit or amount of something
They raised the ceiling on the federal debt.
with no ceiling

pebbles
:a smooth, round stone that is found in or near water
This part of the coast has pebble beaches.
