This is my favorite song from the episode. She sings it with such emotion it is so powerful. I was pleasantly surprised by this entire episode, but La'ann's performance of this song was amazing!

Not just the singing. The words meant a lot. I think star trek the musical would be a hit on broadway for sure.

Christina Chong is a professionally trained singer in real life and it totally shows here. This was the best solo of the episode. It was beautiful.

This was most definitely her “Let It Go” and “Defying Gravity” moment. An excellent episode. I had my doubts which evaporated during the opening number.

If there is not an Emmy for Best Musical Performance in a TV Series, the Academy needs to invent one and just award it to Christina Chong right now. My god, I had tears streaming by the end of this song-she SOLD IT. My heartfelt kudos to the writers, musicians, and Ms Chong. If this was Broadway, that number would be on Christina’s Tony Award nomination reel.

God she can belt these out. And keeping in character looking uncomfortable the whole time. This whole episode was amazing but this song is a gut punch. I love it!

If Christina Chong ever read this comment. Your song has made me fall in love with La'an. I hope La'an gets a happy ever after in SNW.

La'an getting to a point where she was able to say everything to Kirk without being forced to by singing (okay the threat was still there, but everyone else had to actually sing) really shows off her character growth. It felt completely earned as well as we've seen consistent growth for her nearly every episode.

La'an's the most underrated character in the whole series. I like her...Anyway...This is Star Trek at it's best...Anyone with me?

I never expected to find myself sobbing like a lost child at a song in a Star Trek episode, of all things. Poor La'an - the pain in this song was so powerfully and beautifully delivered. I love this show.

In all my years as a Trekkie I never expected to see 'Star Trek: the Musical,' but my God was it awesome, and this number, it just totally blew me away. If this was available as a download I'm sure it would top the charts, hands down.

Man, that is some Disney princess tier song and I love it 😂

Putting the "sing" in Noonien-Singh.

I showed my mate this episode and he thought it was cringe. Until the chorus for this song kicked in. His head snapped up and he couldn't help but watch and listen to at least the entirety of this song. Great stuff

Get this woman an Emmy!

La'an's and Uhura's songs are my fave from this episode!

She deserves an Emmy.

This is one of the two songs that hit my soul deeply.

My admiration for Christina Chong has transformed into a full crush after hearing her sing this song. “On My Own,” Starfleet Edition. Well done!

I’ve officially listened to this one way too many times. It is the best one.

Saw her many years ago in the city of Essen, Germany. She was one of the singers/dancers of the musical Aida at the Essen Colosseum. She lived for almost two years over here.

I've literally had this, Uhuhra's solo, and the finale song in my head for the last few days

I'd never heard of Christina Chong before SNW, but my god, what a talent! She's an amazing actress AND she can sing.

Christina Chong knocked it out of the park with this song.

I really feel in love with La'an this season, and this song sealed the deal.

I'm not crying! You are crying!😭💔

I hope that Christina does a live version of this song at some point on her KZfaq channel. If KZfaq was a record album I would have worn a groove in it by now, I have replayed this song so many times.

This song is devastating after watching episode 3. Both Christina Chong and Paul Wesley in that episode where excellent. Genuine heartbreak. The show writers nailed this entire show.

She absolutely killed this.

possibly the best time travel love song of all time? this is just brilliantly heartbreaking songwriting, given the storyline. the conflict between wanting to express your feelings and knowing it might cause some sort of temporal paradox if you do. A1, no notes In another Time we had a life together Could time repeat? Or will it unravel? Be careful what you start Make one mistake and blow it all apart

Oh, my Goodness, I can't stop listening to this song! Can't believe it actually came from Star Trek. Truly amazing!

Can't stop listening to this. Star Trek goes Disney ✨️ ♥️. I haven't expected that I would like this episode. She's so talented.

This one piece reminds me so much of the song 'On My Own' from Les Mis'. La'An (Christina) put so much feeling in to this, that even as a guy, it had me crying. She put so much anguish and upset in to the song, I couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Holy mercy me. The music in this episode had absolutely no business being so amazing!!

Christina Chong is awesome! I really love this episode! One of the best episodes in the entire series!

Definitely Broadway worthy 😃

She rocked it like a Disney princess

Lemme tell you how I SCREAMED when I realized it was a musical episode -!!!

The way it ends. Master class in a finite moment that captures everything.

Her voice is killer

Powerful and emotional song. This kind of emotion is some thing we’ve never seen in Star Trek. And the only way to she it was through song. And the lyrics are so relatable. And perfect song. Best song in the whole episode.

Disney Princess Level!!! ❤😢

didn't know I needed a fckn musical in my life, thanks SNW Christina Chong and Celia Rose Gooding were killin' it!

Stunning. This song gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it! Christina did it perfectly, and cements her talent in Star trek history!

What is insane about this, is that as AMAZING as this song is, it's only my 4rd favorite singer of the episode in my 5th favorite song. How did they nock this so far out of the park and luck into having so many amazing singers on a single cast?!?

This was such an epic song, loved it. I didn't think this episode would work, but it was incredible. What a cast 😊

The Enterprise is part of the song! It was so beautiful watching the transition at 1:21 from the window to external view... A loneliness sensation. Pure beauty. The other Enterprise apperance, dancing with the Klingon cruisers at the end of the episode was also genius!

Why doesn't this have more views?

Just a fantastic performance. The lyrics are heartbreaking but this really ties into the characters story line.

I absolutely love this song. I have had this song stuck in my head all day! Not to mention, I have watched this episode like 4 or 5 times just so I could listen to this song!!.....I am hooked

I hate musicals and was really upset when I heard about this. But I absolutely loved it.

Alright, be honest: who else nearly started crying here?

Loved the Grease chord progression at 1:20 and the British "oasis" like chords throughout. This is my favorite from this episode really loved the Disney feel of the chorus such a great song on so many levels but her voice sells the pain and lyrics so amazingly well. LOVED this. Ive been a singer my whole life and I think her performace was truly outstanding.

When I heard her singing in the first season I thought "Ok, she MUST be a real singer!" and that the production would have to let her sing in another episode, but - it's STAR TREK. ST and singing? Well, I didn't think, this could work, but it does - totally. I really like the songs and of course (!) the voices, this song and "Uhura's" Keep us connected (when I heard her voice in the first season, I liked it and thought "Why not some more later in the show?") are my favouites and Ethan Peck's voice in his song with slipping deeper for one word - amazing, I think. I'm male and born in the 60', so I grew up with the original crew and this series (I own all of them) is defenitely the one I like most - after the original series. Well, let's say, they're nearly equal and they both have their special qualities. Hope, there's more to come from SNW - more than 4 seasons as in TOS. That show always was to short...

i got goosbumps heaing this song and as an autistic person i relate so much it akin to unmasking.

Best song in the episode by far, such a reserved charictor coming out their shell

I appreciate this song for all the below stated reasons. But also for something Trek almost never does. Mourning the one-off love interests in following episodes. James was one of these, but La’an felt something for him, and she is still grieving his death. Kirk never visibly mourned Edith after her death, but La’an is allowed to mourn for James in her own way. Her fantasy here of getting to love him in their hotel room hit me right in the feels. I doubt they will ever talk about James after this episode, and if they don’t, this was a powerful send off to a man who died to save the world and nobody will ever know except the one person who was falling in love with him. Though… I could see a world where the corpse in the Daystom Institute was secretly his… somehow.

Did I hear that right? Did she just shine a spotlight On her innermost feelings like it’s no big deal Say whatever, whenever you like? You’d presume with all my mastery To pursue flights of fancy, easy. Who am I kidding? I’ve never found that part of me. Cause I’m designed to color inside the lines, Cool and methodical, Way too responsible, I can’t help it. Sometimes I peek through a keyhole and see people happy, I admit… It might Be time to change my paradigm If only I can let go of the wheel. My fear replaced with total faith, I’m fiercely free and really real. Flying blind, How would that feel? This all makes me so uncomfortable I want to let go, be vulnerable. Who am I kidding? I’ve never met that side of me. In my defense, The truth has a consequence. I won’t watch the whole thing Spin out of control If I have the chance. It might Be time to change my paradigm If I can only let go of the wheel. My fear replaced with total faith, I’m fiercely free and really real. Flying blind, How would that feel? In another Time we had a life together Could time repeat Or will it unravel Be careful what you start Make one mistake and blow it all apart Or worse Break my own heart Who am I kidding? I’ve never found that part of me. It might Be time to change my paradigm If only I can let go of the wheel It’s nice To dream that I could change my mind Deep down I know I will never let go My fear is staked, I have no faith, Contented freedom is not real. Flying blind, How would that feel?

I really hoped they could be together at least for a while 😢 Not losing hope though! I believe in La’rk ❤❤❤

Admittedly, I was very skeptical of a musical Star Trek episode. However, having disappointingly surrendered any hope that SNWs would be realistic "adult-ish" Star Trek (except for a handful of episodes), this episode was actually super, super entertaining. I couldn't help but be impressed, particularly by Christina Chong. She's (IMO) the standout actor on the show, and now that we've heard her singing, she is clearly a powerhouse talent. Everything she does exudes total commitment.

The best song of them all. Showing her looking out the enterprise window is the icing on the cake.

Now I want to rewatch Wrath of Khan to see how James Kirk’s soft spot for La’An could potentially play into the way he makes his decisions regarding Khan. Obviously Shatner never had a La’an during his time as Kirk, but I do wonder how that could have weigh in on the TOS episode and Wrath

This was soooo beautiful, And what a great epidode. I'm in my sixties now, and grew up with the original series. loved TNG, but Strange New Worlds, is now my favourite. Looking forward, to series 3. PS Hated 'Discovery'. Too Woke for me. Live Long And Prosper, you lovely people.

🎶It might be time to change my paradigm🎶

She was amazing!

I know everyone raves about 'Keep us Connected' but I absolutely love this, the raw emotion and boy can she sing, plus the line 'designed to colour between the lines' is pure genius!

This song I think has the most emotion in the whole episode. Just like The Greatest Showman. I'm now waiting for all the cover versions to start coming out and see how others sing this song and some of the other songs. So far haven't found any but I guess we just need time to get thier recordings done and shoot thier videos.

I get shivers every time I listen to this song. I relate so much

La'an, Well done! fricking well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only episode besides " the inner light" that i have watched more than 5 times! well done, i and the fans loved it!

In my opinion the best song out of the episode

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Everyone says the Uhura song is the best one. I disagree. THIS is the best song and performance of the episode. A song with the word paradigm? Come on! It doesn’t get better. The height of the word ‘might’ and passion in it. Gorgeous. That last verse is stunning. Goosebumps every time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I normaly hate the musical episodes in shows, but this one was okay. And this song especially was amazing. Even got emotional, which I usually don't get.

I have found great joy in watching this episode. It worked although I doubt it can ever be repeated with the same effect.

Social anxiety theme song🥰

Amazing performance. 100/10

I've had all of the songs from this episode stuck in my head for months now. I wake up with one of them stuck randomly at least 4 times a week it's ridiculous.

Absolutely the best song ❤

2:42 I love it when the shot changes to full on VH-1 Music Video style, remindnig me of when I used to just watch music videos all night long as a teenager on school nights, lol. It's so cliche, it's great!

INSTANT CLASSIC .. WOW !!!!

Best song of the episode bar none. Reminds me of some of Christina Aguilera's songs in the 2000s.

She just made this man tearful. Wow. You go Enfieldian girl ❤

Cant stop watching again and again. This is an excellent song with an amazing singer.

I've watched this episode 3 times today. Still makes me cry so beautiful all of their voices.. So much talent on this show.. Hope they do something like this every season.

Best performance by far and with its connection to the time travel episode this was the most hard-hitting as well!

Christina canta benissimo! Beautiful!!!

Wow that girl can belt a tune out,this should be a standalone single release for her,very reminiscent of the Disney film frozen

Best song in the ep!❤

I liked all the perfomances but this one really stood out. When the first chorus started, I was mesmerized. We were watching the episode over dinner and I didn't notice until the last chords that I had been sitting there motionless during the whole song - the fork still in my hand and tears in my eyes.

I LOVED IT! Its a beautiful song, it touched me and I cried 😢 a little bit.

STAR TREK FOR THE WIN!!!

Love it, I feel her voice getting to me, touching my heart. Been listening on repeat for 2 days now lol. Christina is awesome, fav part of the episode and also when Laan...well no spoilers ;)

After this song, I'm a La'an/Kirk shipper forever. Even though I know that, at least canonically, it won't ever happen.

It's La'an lettting down her guard 100%.

Great song! the best of the episode. It directly caught me. So much emotion and she sings about the stuff we all deal with at times.

I KNEW she was a Belter all along!

i really gotta give credit to Strange New Worlds, in episode 3 of this season i was already kinda over the whole La'an/Kirk thing, but within just a hand full of episodes they really got me turned around on that.

La'an on the musical asteroid: "I'd break the thing" Also La'an:

I hear the voice of an angel, this is all. and she guides me out of the darkness.........Oh I thanks you

She can sing.... Amazing.

Elsa definitely flies blind. Don't worry, La'an!
