Did you think "Open up your eyes" was probably the best song from the movie?

who here thought the the song "Open up your eyes" was probably the best song, if not the most recognizable song after you were to watch the movie, I'd love to hear your thoughts?My Little Pony: The Movie Soundtrack - "Open Up Your Eyes" Audio Track

easily the best song from the movie ^-^ it was dramatic, powerful, desperate and sad all at the same time. i wish more movies could achieve what this movie did with just one song.

Actually, for me, it was “Time to Be Awesome” and then “I’m the Friend You Need” and then “Open up your eyes”. Maybe I should listen to it again.

It is definitely one of the best, however my favorite would have to be either Rainbow or Time to be Awesome, and then Open Your Eyes.

[Ocean Melody 116]

I did really like it, and I do agree it is certainly the most recognizable; however, I like time to be awesome more mainly because of the mood.

I would say the same. Open up your eyes is an important song to the plot, due to it explaining Tempest's backstory, but doesn't have the upbeat strength of time to be awesome, or the core pony values of we got this. Instead, it is something to be overcome, a statement of what was, not what will be.

Great song, and easily my favorite of the bunch

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

No, my favorite was actually "Off To See The World". I know that it wasn't TECHNICALLY in the movie until the credits but, to me, it was the most catchy and memorable of the bunch. Perhaps it's because it was in the promos. Closely followed by "We Got This Together".

[GeekySonic 1,150]

Based on how much praise I've seen Open Up Your Eyes getting, I suppose I'm in the minority that didn't particularly think it was that great. I don't think it was bad, not at all. But I just prefer the happier, bouncier music.

 

Would it be too far out there to say that One Small Thing was my favorite? (Sorry Dashie. Time to Be Awesome was a close second)

[Eternal Nature 321]

thank you for your thoughts

[Jordan D 149]

I think it was the best, at least in the thematic sense. A few other songs were great, but they felt kind of forced in the narrative which took me out of the experience, while Open Your Eyes expanded on the story and gave Tempest a backstory.

 "Open Up Your Eyes" was  my favorite song in the MLP Movie so, that makes it the "best", IMO.

Yes, it adds to the plot and it's very recognizable. A great villain song. Time to Be Awesome is a close second, and One Small Thing right after.

[Tommyspud 55]

It is a great villain song. Truthfully I liked a lot of the songs of the movie.

Except Sia's.

I didn't mind Sia's but it was a gimmick - it was tacked onto the end of the movie as an afterthought (stretching into the credits, in fact) and I would have preferred Coloratura.

I thought her whole character is a gimmick just used to add unnecessary name value.

Yup, and Coloratura is already an established character, plus Lena herself is a self-acknowledged pegasister

hmm, interesting thoughts to be had. 

[Narcissus 354]

Open Up Your Eyes did a really good job of capturing all the complex emotions of Tempest; covering where she came from, where she's headed and why. So much pain, even after all the years, just built up and poured into the song. It brought me to tears, and that doesn't happen often. It's easily the best song in the movie and one of the best the show ever produced.
