Clearly, one of the movies I watched was The Greatest Showman. Immediately after finishing the movie, I didn't necessarily want to watch the movie right away, but I certainly NEEDED to hear the music again. So I decided to search the music options on Cathay Pacific, crossing my fingers that they had it, and lo and behold, it was there. So I listened, and listened, and listened (imagine a montage here of me in different locales: on planes, in many different parts of the US). And that was my summer.
So what are my favorite songs from this soundtrack? Well, most of them haha. But the stand-outs to me (as in the ones that give me the most joy/emotion when I hear them) are:
The Greatest Show - especially the last verse where Zac Efron comes in (you'll find he is a recurring theme in my favorites). Listen below.
The Other Side - This is a song that I probably wouldn't have loved as much if I just heard it and not seen it performed in the movie as well. Love this song by Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman.
This Is Me - I get chills every time with this song. This song almost must be listened to first by seeing the scene in the movie. It's so much more powerful! SO GOOD.
Rewrite the Stars - I love me a good Zac Efron ballad, and this duet with Zendaya is fantastic. Listen below.
