Kesha Lands 'The Greatest Showman' Lead Single
The 'Praying' singer will release the single version of 'This Is Me'...
The Greatest Showman has enlisted one of The Greatest Pop Stars for its soundtrack.
Kesha has announced she is the new voice of 'This Is Me', the lead single from the flashy new film's soundtrack.
The original soundtrack was released earlier this month featuring the movie versions of each song and we already know that Kesha will bring this song to even greater heights.
Dress in black, act so heartless
But now I see that colors are everything
Got kaleidoscopes in my hairdo
Got back the stars in my eyes, too
Yeah, now I see the magic inside of me
Yeah, maybe my head's fucked up
But I'm falling right back in love with being alive
Dreaming in light, light, lights
This kitty cat lost her mind
Been looking for a star-sent sign that I'll be alright
Look to the skies
I've found a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight
I'd forgot how to daydream
So consumed with the wrong things
But in the dark, I realized this life is short
And deep down, I'm still a child
Playful eyes, wide and wild
I can't lose hope, what's left of my heart's still made of gold
And I know that I'm still fucked up
But aren't we all, my love?
Darling, our scars make us who we are, are
So when the winds are howling strong
And you think you can't go on, hold tight, sweetheart
You'll find a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight
You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Night, night, night, night, night
I found a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Oh, put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Kesha is perfectly suited to the defiant anthem, a soaring power ballad about embracing yourself flaws and all and 'marching to the beat of your own drum'.
"Run away, they say / No one'll love you as you are / But I won't let them break me down to dust / I know that there's a place for us / For we are glorious," is how it goes.
We'd expect the production to stay the same as the original, à la Demi Lovato's version of 'Let It Go' for Frozen, however it could be tweaked.
While Kesha revealed the news earlier today, she has not announced when her version of the song will appear. Why tease us like this?!
Fingers crossed it comes with this week's New Music Friday because we need to hear it!
