'Into the Unknown' captures the essence of adventure

"Into the Unknown" is arguably the equivalent of "Let It Go" for "Frozen II" in terms of its strong vocals and catchy lyrics setting the stage for Elsa (Idina Menzel) to go on her newest adventure.

A mysterious voice calls to Elsa to entice her into an adventure and Elsa spends most of the song trying to fight the call before eventually giving in. Aurora provides the mysterious voice calling to Elsa, which is perhaps even more of an earworm than the chorus and ever-evolving pre-chorus.

"Into the Unknown" really captures the feeling of wanting to explore the unknown. The song makes me want to drop everything and go on an adventure. Then I remember that I'm broke, out of shape, and perpetually anxious. But still, it inspires adventurous feelings.

Likewise, I'm a sucker for anything featuring the voice of Idina Menzel ever since my choir teacher had us sing songs from "Wicked" in sixth grade, and "Into the Unknown" is no exception. I keep trying to think of a part of the song to highlight, but I can't decide because I like the song from start to finish.

Listen to the song and tell me you don't feel at least a small twinge of desire to go on an adventure.
