Lovely Lyrics: Love is an Open Door

While Let It Go and Do You Want to Build a Snowman? are wonderful songs, my personal favorite from the Frozen soundtrack is Love is an Open Door, sung by Anna (Kristen Bell) and Hans (Santino Fontana).  It is fun and silly and their voices together are fantastic.

Another reason I love it is because of the “sandwiches” joke.  In an interview with EW back in November, the songwriters explained how it originated from Arrested Development and that “we tried to rewrite it, but we kept it because we couldn’t come up with anything better. Because Arrested Development is amazing.”

I couldn’t agree more!  Best!Show!Ever! (declared in Rapunzel's voice from Tangled)

So it’s a Disney song referencing an Arrested Development joke…how could I not love it?!?

It has become a running joke between C and me and we quote it whenever possible, even in text conversations:

Admit it...pretty adorable!

Clearly the entire soundtrack is awesome (Fixer Upper is another good track), but this song is just so cute and catchy!

Love is an Open Door

from Frozen

Anna:

Okay, can I just, say something crazy?

Hans:

I love crazy!

Anna:

All my life has been a series of doors in my face

And then suddenly I bumped into you

Hans:

I was thinking the same thing!

'Cause like

I've been searching my whole life to find my own place

And maybe it's the party talking or the chocolate fondue

Anna:

But with you

Hans:

But with you

Hans:

I found my place

Anna:

I see your face

Both:

And it's nothing like I've ever known before

Love is an open door

Love is an open door

Love is an open door

Anna:

With you

Hans:

With you

Anna:

With you

Hans:

With you

Both:

Love is an open door

Hans:

I mean it's crazy

Anna:

What?

Hans:

We finish each other's

Anna:

Sandwiches!

Hans:

That's what I was gonna say!

Anna:

I've never met someone

Both:

Who thinks so much like me

Jinx!

Jinx again!

Our mental synchronization

Can have but one explanation

Hans:

You

Anna:

And I

Hans:

Were

Anna:

Just

Both:

Meant to be

Anna:

Say goodbye

Hans:

Say goodbye

Both:

To the pain of the past

We don't have to feel it any more

Love is an open door

Love is an open door

Life can be so much more

Anna:

With you

Hans:

With you

Anna:

With you

Hans:

With you

Both:

Love is an open door

Hans:

Can I say something crazy?

Will you marry me?

Anna:

Can I say something even crazier?

Yes!

Fun Fact:  With his Academy Award for Let It Go, Robert Lopez became only the twelfth person (and youngest!) to win an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).  Amazing!

Happy Tails to you!
