Song of the Day #3,126: ‘I Am Moana’ – Rachel House & Auli’i Cravalho
Moana was my favorite movie of 2016, and the scene faturing today’s Song of the Day is probably my favorite moment in any movie last year.

Every Disney heroine has her signature song, from Ariel’s ‘Part of Your World’ to Mulan’s ‘Reflection’ and Elsa’s ‘Let It Go.’
For Moana, it’s ‘How Far I’ll Go,’ a yearning, soaring ode to following your heart. Moana wants to find adventure on the high seas but her father, the island chief, allows nobody beyond the reef. It’s the age-old struggle between security and freedom, whether it’s in the Polynesian islands or Miranda Lambert’s small-town Texas.
