Pocahontas The Middle of The River (Deleted Song)

This song never got to the animation table and probably with good reason. It just doesn't fit the show. Menken likes it, but "If I Never Knew You" is a far superior song. Along with a demo of the song are concept sketches of how the number would have looked if animated.

What an awkward song. Sounded like it belongs in the sequal haha. I mean I had just started watching it and BAM!

"All everyone can think about is war"

"All I can think about is you"

All I said was "Well thats awkward"

Just a thought. This is an early demo real. It's possible Irene Bedard wasn't even cast yet.

As for the song itself, it's way too contemporary to sit in with the other songs. If I Never Knew You could be translated into a pop song, but wasn't written as such.

This song sound like it was meant to become a pop song later on. The chord progression lends to this idea.

@johnxgin1 yeah in a bad way ;)

it sorta reminds me of kovu and kaira from the lion king 2:simbas pride.

We're they going to DANCE in this scene? Everything seems so out of character anyway, lol.

Imagine if they got rid of Colors of the Wind for this.

True this song, just does not fit anywhere inside this movie. This movie was so beautiful and this song would have just ruined it. And why does it not even sound like Irene Bedard when Pocohontas is speaking before the singing begins.

I like the concept art. Song is ok.
