Live laugh lose

Even if you're not religious you have to admit this movie and it's music is amazing. Playing with the big boys now and Let my people go are just amazing

6:53 they explain later that pharaoh’s wife believes Moses was sent by the gods to her. There’s a line she sings that basically says when the gods send you a blessing, you don’t ask them why.

Okay, but you NEED to listen to "Playing With The Big Boys" and "When You Believe" PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

The words "I send the swarm, I send the hoard, so says the lord" are burned into my brain. Those are absolutely metal lyrics

"Deliver Us" really is a very heavy song. The creators managed to find the perfect way to show the suffering and oppression that the Hebrews had to endure at the hands of the Egyptians. They WERE slaves who had to work every day without rest and under the threat of the whip, building temples and statues of fake gods. But the part with Moses' mother was what hit the hardest. She had to give up her right to be a mother to her child in order to protect him from the Pharaoh's decree to kill all baby boys, putting her faith in God, believing that He would protect Moses and deliver him to a place where he could be free. I have to say that Ofra Haza did an amazing job giving her singing voice to Moses' mother. And she did more than that! She gave her voice to 19 different dubs (17 different languages + 2 dialecs) and the way she managed to perfectly mimic each one... is outstanding! And I am saying that as a Portuguese who grew up with "The Prince of Egypt".

Fun fact: the woman who played Moses' mother had such a beautiful voice she even sung in the other languages for the dubs

all I can think about during the plagues song is like Moses: hey can I have you let my people go? Ramses: freedom machine broke Moses: understandable, have a nice plague.

Fun Fact! For the spanish dub in the Plagues song, my uncle did Ramses' singing voice for that song. Super cool😂

Love how matthew knows about Moses in the river but if confused by the baby killing the reason Moses was in the river

Through Heaven's Eyes is in the middle of the movie. It's right after Moses has learned his "father" ordered the Hebrew babies to be murdered (overpopulation was his justification), being told "they were just slaves," learning he is Hebrew, too, and then accidentally killing a slaver who was beating a man. Moses has at this point left Egypt, and feels like his whole life has been a lie. Thus why he's saying at the beginning of the song he's done nothing worthy of honor Also, on the song itself, it always makes me cry. It's such a good positive message and I love it so much. So thanks very much for reacting to it. Made my morning ^_^

Fun fact! The Prince of Egypt was made at the same time as Shrek!

I can't describe the sound I made at "I forgot they were like slaves"

Now you know Mathew, The Prince of Egypt is known for two things. 1. Being one of the best retelling's of the 10 Commandments ever made. 2. It has some of the best songs in the history of DreamWorks animated films.

I can't believe that you left out "When You Believe"! That is perhaps the heart of the entire movie! It is sang right after the Pharaoh finally lets the Hebrews go and it embodies their joy of finally getting their freedom.

"All I ever wanted" cut off right before one of the darkest parts of the movie that reveals to Moses how he came to be adopted in the first place and how truly effed up his adoptive family is and why he can't stay with them in his happy "I've got all I ever wanted" life. The conflict between the brothers is a lot more than just between bio and adoptive siblings. They were actually getting along really well until Moses's revelation

The songs in order are 1. Deliver Us 2. All I Ever Wanted 3. Through Heavens Eyes 4. The Plagues

the marriage was actually early on in the movie 😂

Mathew: Oh my god, this is so dark! Me: *laughs in Biblical* But yeah, Dreamworks went HARD on this whole project. The visuals are gorgeous, could easily make any shot into framable wall art. Every song is a banger in its own way. But you should (re)watch the whole movie. It will put the songs into context and really flesh out the relationships and arcs between the characters.

Dreamworks did not need to go this hard for their first movie but so glad they did

In the movie, song order for these songs is: Deliver Us => (Time skip, Moses grows up as a prince, suddenly realizes he's actually Hebrew and the previous Pharaoh murdered the children of his people) => All I've Ever Wanted => (Moses runs away and meets a wandering people) => Through Heaven's Eyes => (Burning bush; Moses returns and warns the Pharaoh) => The Plagues => (his people leave)

The mother’s voice in Deliver Us is Ofra Haza, a legendary Israeli singer. She’s truly incredible, and she repeated that role in so many languages (I think it was something like 19?). The first sentence she sings in the song is in Hebrew, and what she’s saying is “my good, gentle child, please don’t be afraid”.

The songs from the Prince of Egypt are so good. The main issue I have with the movie is how they portray Aaron, Moses' brother

Highly recommend watching this movie again! It’s incredible.

This is single-handedly my favorite Dreamworks movie! The soundtrack is intense and perfect!

Prince of Egypt is incredible. This was a movie that was an integral part of my childhood. I re-watch it regularly. If you're interested, there is a stage musical version with additional songs and some re-interpretations of the original movie that are absolutely worth listening to. This is one of Dreamworks best movies. Also yes, in the opening they are killing babies. In the story, Pharaoh begins to fear the growing Israelite population and commands the death of the firstborn male children Speaking as a Jewish person, this is one of the few adaptations of a bible story that is not created with a slant towards Christianity. Many adaptations of Old Testament stories still use Christian symbology in their representation of the stories. Also, this movie had a BANGING cast voicing it. Val Kilmer plays Moses and the Voice of God, Steve Martin and Martin Sheen play Hotep and Huy (the Egyptian High Priests), Sandra Bullock plays Miriam, Ralph Fiennes plays Ramses, Michelle Pfeifer plays Zipporah (Moses' wife), Patrick Stewart plays the first Pharaoh. Just an incredible movie. All the songs are bangers, everyone gave 100%

I'm an atheist and this movie is one of my favourites it transcends religion at this point it's so good

"Bible Spoiler Warning" XD

this movie literally gives me chills every time i watch/listen to it

I'm surprised you did Prince of Egypt and didn't do Miracles, the big song from the movie. fun to see this! this movie is so pretty, and I love the music

Giving Ofra Hazas' voice the respect it deserves ❤

YOU NEED A PART 2 TO THIS.

YESSS OMG THE PRINCE OF EGYPT WAS MY CHILDHOOD AND EVEN THO IM NOT AS RELIGIOUS I STILL ADORE THE SONGS

OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE WAS MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD IM SO EXCITED YOU'RE REACTING TO THE SOUNDTRACK IT'S BEAUTIFUL

Hey Mathew! Have you ever watched Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron? Huge recommend if not! Absolutely incredible soundtrack!

You HAVE to listen to the Jonathan Young version of the Prince of Egypt, and also Hellfire from The Hunchback Of Notre Dame!

It's a tradition in my family to watch The Prince of Egypt every Passover. What a beautiful film.

As someone who watched this movie religiously (no pun intended) as a child, I’m so happy when others encounter it (or revisit it without remembering much, in this case). ‘Playing With The Big Boys’ remains one of my top animated villain songs to this day.

The mom's (Yocheved) "cool sounding voice" belongs to Ofra Haza, she was an increadible increadible singer ❤

I love the message in "Heaven's Eyes" because it's so true that you can't see your value if you're just judging by the standards of society. According to society the President, or that Billionaire, or that Famous Actor all hold more value than you do. So people desperately chase after such titles and judge themseleves when they fall short, but that's not actually how it works. You touch people's lives everyday. If you think about the people in your life who you remember, it's not someone with money or status that made you happy. It's your friends, your family, some teachers, that old lady that called out to you when you walked home from school, that coach who gave you that one peice of advice. Your dog who greets you with love. The coworker who gave you a free brownie. Kind words, kind actions, being included, being listened to, these are the things that matter, these are the things that have real value. These are the things you look back on when you're on your deathbed reliving your life. And these are the things that matter to others. So when you feel not a person cares, feel that not a person would notice if you're gone. You need to pause and realize you're looking at your life through a narrow perspective. And there's a kid you pass on the street and nod to everyday who would be devestated to lose that kind stranger who makes them feel worth something.

"Deliver us" will always give me this huge goosebumps. What a masterpiece. Truly ethereal

I thought this was an old vid and I was just catching up, but then I saw the timer actually move - I've never been this early to a video. My love for the Prince of Egypt must have brought me here. Deliver Us has always been one of my favourite songs since I saw this as a kid. The movie was so devastating but also so beautiful.

Fun fact the singer for Moses mother sung her part in seven different languages!

HECK YES ITS SUCH A GOOD MUSICAL!

There is a real live Musical made off of this movie, beeing performed in London. They added a few new songs and they are hauntingly beautiful, even if obviously not as nostalgic as the originals ❤

Matthew, did you even listen to any music at all when you were younger? I’m starting to think you actually lived under a rock

THEY CUT ALL I EVER WANTED SHORT!!! YOU NEED TO WATCH THE WHOLE SONG 😭😭😭

I can't believe you missed the drop at the end of "deliver us" it really sets the gravity of what's going on

WHAT IS HAPPENING THESE PAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE FANDOMS OMG

You need to check out Brian Stokes Mitchell singing "Through Heaven's Eyes" live. The joy he exudes is palpable, you'll be smiling the whole time 😊

I cannot believe you are reacting to songs of my two favourite movies BACK TO BACK. What a treat. Please react to the whole movie, it’s amazing

Fun Fact: Ofra Haza (Moses's mother) sang her part of Deliver Us in 19 different languages.

The Voctave medley of the Prince of Egypt songs is EXCEPTIONAL

I love the music in this movie!! This was dreamworks really strong emotional music numbers era. My favourite is Spirit: stallion of the cimmaron - never fails to make me cry

Man, ya missing out on When You Believe. What a beautiful melody that comes after all the intensity of the plagues and what not.

The Prince of Egypt is one of my favorite movies (like you, I saw it as a kid and it didn't leave much of an impression, then I watched it as an adult and it blew my mind) and I'm only just now noticing the double meaning of "trappings" in "All I Ever Wanted".

i do love how excited you get for these listens but man you really really need to rewatch the films to have the full impact hit you, not to mention, have them in order so you don't get so confused.

The VA, Ofra Haza, of the mother also sang all the mother versions in the time. like 17. She did a great job in the portuguese version. You should react to that. Im not religious but this is one of my fav movie and i see it at least 1 time a year

The actor who voices the older shepherd/father, Brian Stokes Mitchell, has done a ton of theater work, mostly musicals, and has won almost every major theater award. His voice is truly amazing

"towards the end" literally the beginning of act 2

i'm jewish, and this movie was such a major part of my childhood! i grew up with this movie, and still love it to this day. they actually have a musical for "the prince of egypt" and the cast is phenomenal! there is also a plan for an actual live - action remake in 2026.

I got recommended a video of you a few days ago and now I'm totally invested. Your reactions and commentary are so fun to listen to, I just love them!!! It would be nice if you could do a video on Anastasia, one of my childhood favorites :D

"Okay, well that was just gorgeous" yes, this was always a bop, my favorite animation since i was a baby!!

I'm SO GLAD you reacted to Through Heaven's Eyes which is my favorite song from this movie (with Deliver Us coming in second so yay) but you skipped over one of the most powerful lines in the whole song. Of course the main message is heart wrenching BUT "When all you have is nothing, there's a lot to go around" just HITS me every single time. So moving.

Can you react to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron"? It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken. I cry every time I watch it! It's a INCREDIBLE film, and the songs are so cool! But it's not a musical and the animals can't talk. 😭💔🔥

You mixed the order of the songs up and you forgot: "There can miracles"

“I have nothing I can give but this chance that you may live” is such a CRUSHING line like it’s such a horrifying situation

I also love them incorporating Hebrew in this. I talked to a professor who teaches it and he helped me me learn to say/sing the Hebrew words as well. 1:40

YES I LOVE PRINCE OF EGYPT

the songs you listened too show up in this order: 1 deliver us 2 All I ever wanted 3 heaven's eyes

The hebrew part on “deliver us” sang by the one and only Ofra Haza an israeli singer who took part in both the hebrew and english versions

Fun fact on the song the Plague. It's a dis track from God towards the Egyptian gods. Each plague represents what an Egyptian god can prevent. Famine, pest, deseases and finally Ra, the sun is blocked out

The 3rd song isn’t near the end but in the beginning and middle part of the movie. Basically, after the last song you heard. I really wanna watch the musical one day. It’s so powerful and I love the playlist DreamWorks did an amazing job.❤

Anyone else think Mat should listen to "Anastasia"?

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY YOUR REACTING TO THIS ❤❤

The fact that “There Can Be Miracles” wasn’t included in this list is criminal.

The Songs are amazing! It would be cool for you to also react to the last song "When You Believe" which is a masterpiece and probably the most famous of these songs!

This movie is by far one of my favorites. Easily top five movies. I used to watch it with my dad all the time as a kid, and while I’m not terribly religious anymore, it still is such a good story. Playing With the Big Boys should be in the next vid. Most likely would be seeing as there’s only a three or four songs left but, you know.

Apparently the scene in the movie with the parting of the Red Sea was illustrated/animated by hand and took over two years to complete.

13:30 this is actually around the middle! It takes places before The Plagues does! It’s basically the change-of-heart song for Moses :))

Yes I've been waiting for this!!! Also, was wondering if you were going to do more barbie reactions? Really think you'd like the Island Princess if you knew the context haha :)

The "look at life through heaven's eyes" song is in the middle of the movie, when Moses first met some jews and basically when he converted to the jews (something like that) the song at the end of the movie is a masterpiece, would recommend listening to it, or just watch the whole movie

Fun fact the choir in the songs is the LDS Tabernacle Choir.

Ofra Haza is the singer who does the voice for Moses's mother. She sang this song in about 20 different languages. She is widely considered one of the best vocalists of her time

You have to do Joseph King of Dreams next. Lol

This movie is the best!

There's also a stage musical of this that has even more songs and incredible choreography

These are all of my favorite songs from the movie. It's so good! You need to watch the movie again.

Can you do more songs from Mean Girls please?❤❤

First

"This is so dark." Well, welcome to human history.

The amazing singer on Deliver us is Ofra Haza, If you liked her, I suggest you take a listen to a song called "Im Nin'Alu". she's an amazing talent who was taken away from us way too soon, not too long after the movie came out.

through heavens eyes is closer to the middle of the movie, like, pre mid - all great bops

YES!!!!! I have wanted you to listen to this music for so long!!! Its soooooo good, the music always gives me tingles, thanks so much for listening to it!!!

My favorite part of this movie is that Ramesses is voiced by Voldemort and Moses is voiced by Mad Martigan who also plays Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors!!! This move has an amazing, star studded cast! Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Brian Stokes Mitchel, Patrick Stewart, Hellen Mirren, Martin Short, and Steve Martin!!

“Through Heaven’s Eyes” and “Chariot Race” were two songs I ice skated to. To this day, “Heaven’s Eyes” still makes cry, because it’s so optimistic and uplifting

I was just starting to listen to these songs again and you post the video just in time You even picked all the songs I wanna hear in THE EXACT ORDER i was thinking too

You were listening to the songs out of order. Delivery Us/Lullaby (opening sequence-Moses sent down river & adopted by Pharoah and his wife) All I Ever Wanted (he's just been told about his true origins & is in denial) Heaven's Eyes (he's runaway from Egypt into the desert & "adopted" by the Midians) The Plagues (God/burning bush has given him the mission to get Ramses to let the Hebrew slaves go)

You should listen to the other songs as well :) The singer who sings the part of Yocheved (Moses' mother) is called Ofra Haza, an incredible Israeli singer from a Yemeni family. They often do these trills as part of their general style. You should listen to other songs she's sung, truly a unique voice. The mother coats the basket with tar to make it waterproof, and yes, she puts him in the river because the old pharaoh ordered to throw all the male newborns to the river.

This reaction is all i've ever wanted!!!
