pretty amazing grace

Warning: May contain SPOILERS. So if you haven't watched the movie yet, dear, go to the nearest cinema first! :))

Whew, it's been already like 6 days already since HSM3 has been shown in the cinemas. Yep, October 24, 2008 it is! And I've already watched it two times! Imagine! Haha! I am such what you would call an adik! Oh yeah, me and Derf (well, I sorta forced him to watch it with me or I'll watch it alone, by myself, haha) watched it on Oct. 24 after office of course (and last full show I think) at SM North Edsa Cinema 6. There has been some technical problems along the way (audio problem, grr). I promised Dna I would watch it with her, she was just not available that Friday. So the following day, Saturday, October 25, we watched it (for me, again, hehe). *sighs* I can never get over it! Haha!

My favorite parts/ songs include:

Can I Have This Dance (East High Rooftop)
Performed by: Gabriella and Troy

Troy just asked Gabriella to be her prom date by asking her opinion on which tux to use. He asked if they're really to dance waltz during the prom. Gabriella showed Troy how to waltz through the song "Can I Have This Dance?"


Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next

It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all

And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are

It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for You know I believe, that we are meant to be

It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance


Can I Have This Dance Reprise (Stanford University)
Performed by: Gabriella and Troy

Ok, so, Gabriella won't be coming back to East High anymore because she could not afford another goodbye. No more senior prom, no more graduation. What did Troy do? Well, he just drove from Albuquerque all the way to Stanford to spend his prom with Gabriella, at Stanford. They waltzed (and sang) "Can I Have this Dance?"

Troy: You might be ready to leave East High, but East High isn’t ready to say goodbye to you.”
Cheesy, but cute! Hehe ;)

Sorry, no picture for this one; the song however is same as that of above.



Right Here, Right Now (Tree House, Bolton Residence)
Performed by: Gabriella and Troy

Wildcats' Victory Party at Troy's house. Troy and Gabriella decided to spend a few moments together. They shared thoughts about their future and wished that their last few moments at East High would not end, thus singing "Right Here, Right Now."

Both: Right Here, Right Now!
Troy: Oh, Right Now!
Gabriella: Lookin' At You, And My Heart Loves The View, Cause You Mean Everything!
Troy: Everything..
Both: Right Here, I Promise You Some how
Troy: That Tomorrow Can Wait,
Gabriella: Some Other Day To Be
Troy: To Be But Right Now
Both: There's You And Me.

Gabriella: Oh, We Know It's Comin'
Troy: Comin'
Gabriella: That It's Comin' Passed.
Both: But There's Always You and Me..
Gabriella: Oh yeah...
Troy: So, Lets Make This Second Last..
Both: Make It Last!

Troy: Right Here.. Right Now.. Yeah, Im Lookin' At You..
Gabriella: And My Heart Loves The View..
Both: Cause You Mean Everything! Right Here, I Promise You Somehow.
Troy: That Tomorrow Can Wait,
Gabriella: Some Other Day To Be
Troy: To Be! But Right Now
Both: There's You And Me..

Gabriella: Oh, We Know It's Comin'
Troy: Comin'
Gabriella: That It's Comin' Passed.
Both: But There's Always You and Me..
Gabriella: Oh yeah...
Troy: So, Lets Make This Second Last..
Both: Make It Last!



Just Want To Be With You (Music Room, Theater)
Performed by: Ryan, Kelsi, Gabriella, Troy, Sharpay, Jimmie

Indeed, Kelsi writes her most beautiful songs for Troy and Gabriella, and this is definitely one of them! There are actually different instances of this song. One was with Ryan and Kelsi when he asked her to be his prom date. And then, Troy and Gabriella did it twice, during the rehearsal and on the Act 2 of the musical. Sharpay and Jimmie sang the first Act which is sooo hilarious I loved it! Haha!


Ryan: Hmm, yeah, I've got a lot of things, I have to do, all these distractions, our future's coming soon, we're being pulled
Ryan & Kelsi: In hundred different directions
Ryan: But whatever happens....
Ryan & Kelsi: I know I've got you
Ryan: You're on my mind, your in my heart
Ryan & Kelsi: It doesn't matter where we are
Ryan: We'll be alright, even if we're....
Ryan & Kelsi: Miles apart!

*This is the same part that Sharpay (and Jimmie) sang.



Troy & Gabriella: All I wanna do, is be with you, be with you
There's nothing we can do, I just wanna be with you, only you
No matter where life takes us, nothing can break us apart
Troy: You know it's true
Troy & Gabriella: I just wanna be with you
Gabriella: Oooh
Troy: Just Be With You
Gabriella: Oh yeah


Troy: You know how life can be, it changes over night
Troy & Gabriella: The sun even raining, but it's alright
Gabriella: A friend like you
Troy & Gabriella: Always makes it easy!
Troy: I know that you get me
Troy & Gabriella: Every time
Through every up, through every down, you know i'll always be around
Through anything, you can count on me!
All I wanna do, is be with you, be with you
There's nothing we can do, I just wanna be with you, only you
No matter where life takes us, nothing can break us apart
Troy: You know it's true
Troy & Gabriella: I just wanna be with you! I just wanna be with you!


Walk Away (Gabriella's House, Stanford)
Performed by: Gabriella

Gabriella's goodbye song after deciding to finally go to Stanford for their freshman orientation.

I guess I should've known better
to believe that my luck could change
(luck could change) ooo
I lent my heart out forever
Finally learn each others names
(each others name)
I tell myself this time
it's different
no goodbyes cuz I
can't bear to say it
I'll never survive
the one that's coming
if I stay, oh no

[ Chorus: ]
Just walk away ooh
and don't look back
cause if my heart breaks it's gonna
hurt so bad
you know I'm strong
but I can't take that
before it's too late
ooh just walk away

walk, walk, walk away,
ooh just walk away
walk, walk, walk away
aye-aye yeah

I really wish I could blame you
But I know that it's no ones fault
(no one) no no no no ooh

A Cinderella with no shoe
and a prince that doesn't know he's lost
(know he's lost)
This heaviness feels so familiar
Each goodbye with just the same old song
But this time I will not surrender
Cause I'm gone
Oooh yeah!

[ Chorus: ]
Just walk away ooh
and don't look back
cause if my heart breaks it's gonna
hurt so bad
you know I'm strong
but I can't take that
before it's too late
ooh just walk away

walk, walk, walk away,
ooh just walk away
walk, walk, walk away
(whoooa)
just walk away

I've got to let it go
(ooh)
start protecting
my heart and soul
Cause I don't think I'll survive
A goodbye again
Not again!

[ Chorus: ]
Just walk away ooh
and don't look back
cause if my heart breaks it's gonna
hurt so bad
you know I'm strong
but I can't take that
before it's too late
(oooh before it's too late)
ooh just walk away

(walk, walk, walk away)
walk away walk away
yeeaah
(walk, walk, walk away)
walk away walk away
all right!
(walk, walk walk away, yeah, walk away!)
walk away walk away
(oh walk walk walk away)
walk away walk away
ooh, ooh



A Night to Remember (Musical Rehearsal, Theater)
Performed by: All Cast

This was after Taylor finally accepted Chad's offer to be his prom date. This was part of the musical (although wasn't played on the day of the musical itself, as only Tiara and Sharpay did few verses of this song). The production number was really extravagant! Focuses on preparing for the prom and the prom night itself.

Guess now its official
Cant back out, cant back out (no)
Getting ready for the night of nights
The night of nights, alright
Dont Panic (Panic!)

Now do we have to dress up for the prom?
Dude I dont think we have the choice
Yeah its the night of all nights
Gotta look just right
Dressing to impress the boys

Do I want classic or vintage or plaid?
Wheres the mirror?
I think this tux is too baggy
Too tight, it makes me look weird.

Should I go movie star glamorous, sassy or sweet?
Dont know, but no one better wear the same dress as me
Its the night of our nightmares
Its the night of our dreams
Its too late to back out of it.
Hey, makeovers, massages.
Dont know what a corsage is.
Been waiting all our lives for this.

Its gonna be a night (cant wait)
To remember (aw man)
Come on now, big fun (alright)
Its gonna be the night (I guess)
To last forever (lucky us)
Well never ever ever forget

Gettin Ready, Get Gettin Ready
Gettin Ready, Get, Gettin Ready
(Hey you been in there an hour man)
So, what should I do with my hair?
Wheres my shaver?
Ooh, I love it.
I look like a waiter.
Should I fluff it?
Its get later already should be there.

Her mother opens the door, Im shakin inside
Hes here, its time, the hours arrived.
Dont know why, her fathers staring me down
Wheres my purse? Lip gloss? Now Im really freaking out.
Then something changes my world
The most beautiful girl right in front of my eyes

Its gonna be a night (Oh Yeah!)
To remember (Thats for sure)
Come on now, big fun (Alright!)
Its gonna be the night (Yeah tonight)
To last forever (forever more)
Well never ever ever forget.

Whos that girl? (Shes so fine)
Whos that guy? (I dont recognize)
Whos that girl? (She looks so good, yeah)
Youll never really notice, but you probably should

Big fun, on the night of nights (alright)
The night of nights, tonight
Lets dance
On the night of nights
You know were gonna do it right

Its gonna be a night to remember
Its gonna be the night to last forever
Its gonna be a night to remember
Its gonna be the night to last forever
(Last Forever)
Its gonna be our night (you know it)
To remember (all time)
Come on now, big fun (big fun)
Its gonna be the night (love it)
To last forever (the rest of our lives)
Well never ever ever forget

Its gonna be our night (oh yeah)
All together (say it loud)
Come on now, everyone (thats right)
Its gonna be a night (yeah tonight)
To remember (hear the crowd)
And never ever ever never ever ever never ever never ever ever forget!

Boys are Back (Riley's Auto Services)
Performed by: Troy and Chad

What I like about this song (and the video, of course) is the James Bond-ish effect it has (at least on me). And oh, I love that scene when after crawling under a car, 8-year-old Chad and Troy emerged! Haha! Verrrry cute! :))

High School Musical (Graduation Ceremony, East High Grounds)
Performed by: All Cast

The finale! Uhm, there's nothing more to say actually. You can almost feel the emotion of everyone (exaggerating!) in the movie, especially the last part where all six (Ryan, Sharpay, Troy, Gabriella, Chad and Taylor) walk down the field where a curtain closes off the graduation ceremony and turns into a stage. The High School Musical logo drops down as they do their signature jump pose, the camera pans a close up of each actor before taking their final bow and the curtain closes. Awww.. *sniff, sniff*
