Ok so I just watched frozen 2 and the song lost in the woods reminds me of a song and I can’t think of the name or lyrics. Anyone know what song it sounds like.

The title says it all. I was stressed out of my mind trying to figure it out. It’s a really popular song I just can’t figure it out. Pre-thanking you for the help!

Okay so I have been going CRAZY over this ever since I watched Frozen 2 last month (pretty late, yeah)

Kristoff's song "Lost in the Woods" sounds SO familiar, and I THINK it sounds like a song I used to hear when I was younger? Something I might remember hearing in the car with my mother in the late 2000's to early 2010's (but the song wasn't PUBLISHED then, my mother always listens to older music, maybe 1980's-1990's), perhaps.

I'm really sorry, but I don't remember any lyrics, I just know that the melody is REALLY familiar, maybe it's even the same one.

Can anyone help?

Ok, so this cut is a bit complicated for me because I TECHNICALLY had it slotted to go in like 5 or so songs. But here we are. Now you may be wondering why this cut now. I would like to talk about the order of events here for a second. This song was saved by Lightsfly, who then preceded to post a list of movies with songs they would save and then they cut the ABSOLUTE GEM 'I Wanna Be Like You'. This is strategically very questionable to me. I get that we all have different tastes, I have been being good though, and saving my hated but generally beloved songs around for the sake of harmony and fairness. When there are more universally disliked songs around. My emotions were all over the place and I thought about how to respond to this. My first feeling I went through was Disgust. There is literal elevator music still on here. Even just from the Jungle Book Alone Colonel Hathi's March should have been hit first. This song was literally 24th the last rankdown. Barf Barf all over you. But I can't use disgust here. It just is not smart gameplay to use that so early especially before my next stop, Sadness. I was so sad to see I Wanna Be Like You cut it is the soundtrack to my childhood, it is fun it is jazzy it is silly, and it sets up the endgame for the movie. But could I justify saving it here when there are other songs (for good and silly reasons) I have set aside to save?? I ultimately landed on, I do not want to show my cards this quick and use my sadness so early for a song that I could see the potential for 1 other ranker to cut soon if it got saved anyway. So I overcame my sadness and turned to Anger. I CONSIDERED at this point 2 different approaches being petty and slowly picking off every song from the movies Lightsfly named OR using my Anger power to cut 2 beloved songs here as a sort of warning, essentially forcing people to use their saves (which tbh felt like what Lightsfly was doing at the time). Cut the crap first or I will be your nightmare. BUT I felt this was not fair to the other Rankers who have not cut the Monke song. SO then I was given the idea to cut this by another ranker and I felt Joy! YAY finally a viable solution. Then time went on as rankers took their sweet ass time and my emotions calmed and suddenly I was feeling less impulsive, but also I am an inherently clowny person who likes to fuck around and find out so I started to feel fear. Fear that Redditors I do not know will be mad at me, fear that all my newfound ranking friends will think I am too much and ruining the integrity of things by going too far and playing the way I like to play. Suddenly I was much less sure of my choices because while I like to make jokes and be a little shit with no impulse control, I also have a heart of gold and I started feeling fear and anxiety. I don't mean to upset people in a serious way, but I do love to upset people in a silly way. I'm an improviser, I like to yes and things and be spontaneous, and commit to bits and scenes. So I decided the move was to stick to my guns and hope that my personality is loved and accepted by this community rather than totally annoying. You might say I was lost in the woods. I wouldn't though because let's get to the more legitimate reasons for this cut.

IT'S BORING! it has no levels! Every time it acts like it's building to something and never gets there each time it just drops off. Why am I being edged by a Disney movie? There is never a change. It just plods forward unrelenting. It acts like it's going to take us on a journey but it doesn't for all the fake running around Kristoff does in front of a green screen(???) in his imagination (???) It's unclear. He just picks us up and drops us off exactly where we started. THATS LAME! What was the point??? This is like the most whitebread Disney song in a long while to me. It is for some reason an 80's pop song even though that matches literally none of the other music in the entire franchise. Like this feels like the song that they just were like uhhhhh hey we should prolly use Jonathan Groff's voice this time right? But after the movie was done and then they just asked some washed-up 80's sad boi to write a power ballad. If this weren't Jonathan Groff singing I think this isn't even a debate. Also, look I get him wanting to sing like Jonathan Groff but that's not this character and I would have appreciated it more if a character voice was done. The voice doesn't even look like it should be coming out of his mouth. Also, I HATE the reindeers singing. It's creepy and unnerving and most of them assumedly don't exist? The Lyrics do nothing for me. They are incredibly on the nose and use really predictable words. I don't love being beaten over the head with a metaphor. Respect your audience enough to trust they'll be smart enough to get there. What did I even really learn about Kristoff here? I already knew he was a needy sad boi. This song stops the movie dead in its tracks and feels totally out of place. I feel like they were trying to appeal to kids with silly and parents with 80's and unfortunately for them and everyone reading this, I am in neither of those demographics. I skip this song instinctively and I like the Frozen 2 soundtrack in general. This is just yeah, uninspired to me. Jonathan Groff could do most anything and make it passable but in the same way that I feel like Toy Story 4 is a fun movie but a terrible Toy Story movie I think this is a passableish song but a terrible Disney song. For the dude that loves camp, this was too corny for me even. It just doesn't pass the vibe check imho.

(SIDENOTE: SMASH MOUTH COVERED I WANNA BE LIKE YOU WHICH PROVES IT IS A GREAT SONG)

Well….I wasn’t expecting a song I have firmly planted in my top tier to be an opening round cut. Is it the best song in the movie? Debatable. But the worst? When I Am Older exists, and I feel totally secure that should be the lowest from that movie. Now, I don't know what path you guys are on when it comes to this, but I get the feeling that me and this song will get some more time before day is night. So, it wasn't a question of whether, but a question of when for our first emotion of the rankdown, and it's now, time for SADNESS.

Now, sadness is a big emotion in this song, but I would say fear is the biggest one. Fear is what Kristoff feels, wondering if him and Anna are growing apart, and fear is what you feel when you’re lost in the woods. The fear of not having an identity (which I think is kinda meta, Disney male love interests rarely have one). But sadness is definitely how this song ends, as he hangs his head with the reindeer.

The thing I love most about the song is that overly dramatic flair that the entire song and scene has. It’s so drama queen, how the entire scene comes together like Kristoff’s on stage. It’s such a distinct, amazing piece of cinematography that is really tied together by the song. The spotlights, the cuts of Anna, the flashbacks.

And getting to the point about lyrics, I love how Kristoff is lost, literally, but also in his heart, and the lyrics all emphasize that by talking about direction and finding a path. "Up til now, the next step was a question of how, I never thought it was a question of whether..." and ‘Oh, you’re my only landmark’ are sooo good and Groff sells it. The lyrics are definitely a (albeit smaller) part of why I love this song but they don’t hurt it either.

One thing I do give credit for is uniqueness. I love the Hercules soundtrack because there’s no other Disney soundtrack like it. Or ‘Belle’ with all the villagers chiming in. And Lost In The Woods checks off all the boxes in that category. It’s an ‘80s power ballad of a love song. Outside of soundtrack singing from Phil Collins, nothing is even close to this lane. It’s a male side character love song who’s seeking purpose in the world, lost and showing male emotion. I can’t find another song that does any of those things, let alone well.

Also, I would have been far less likely to Sadness this if the criteria for cutting this song was well thought out, but it comes down to…wasting his talent? Like give it a substantiated writeup at least. And that he’s had better songs? If that’s the case why are there Disney movies that came out after 1991 (that’s the year Beauty and the Beast came out)? Jonathan Groff is a decidedly great performer and he brings it out in this song and it’s built for him, and he is a huge part of what makes it great, and marks being taken off for it being a “bad Jonathan Groff song” feels wrong to me.
