Straight on (Strange Magic version)

I admit that the first time I heard it shocked me a bit but after listening to it again and completely, I mean, listening to the full version from the beginning of the song to the end, I loved it and it made me appreciate it a lot and of course it gave it a plus to my liking for the scene where Marianne and Bog King face each other in the Dark Forest castle.

In the first place I loved how it starts, since it doesn't start exactly here in the fight scene,

but since Marianne gathers her courage to enter the dark forest

and the song with the chorus is resumed right after she arrived at Bog King's castle and start the fight against him (one of the best fights I've seen 💪👍).

I am not an expert in music and I admit it is the first time I heard this song but I admit that enjoying "Straight On" as a song too (in the version of Strange Magic, the interpretation of Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cumming), has made me love it much.

And well, returning to the idea that I exposed a moment ago, I love the beginning since it gives a good entrance with the guitar, that tune something like that of "The Legend of Zorro", and together with the animation it gives us a mysterious atmosphere and hostile that little by little tells us that a great adventure is going to start where Marianne will test herself leaving her comfort zone and overcoming her fears that limit her, and will lead her to face a great contest with her apparently enemy.

From there comes the development of the fight and the characters are between bickering and wrangling while in the background the musical interlude unfolds, with a fascinating trumpet sound that takes command as a representation of the visual contest that we are seeing and when it ended intervention gives rise to the second musical voice in this act, that is to say the opponent, Bog King, who makes an excellent accompaniment and ends up singing a duet, making the song no longer talk about the fairy's adventure but also about the Goblin's adventure who can't help but be impressed that he has finally found a good contender.

I would like to know more about music to continue explaining more properly but well at least I feel happy to be able to share these thoughts about one of my favorite songs from this movie and some of my favorite scenes from Marianne and Bog King, which ok I admit there are a lot adrenaline in their fight as well as contentious dialogue but with a certain filtering😍. Well, that's all👍💯.
