"You're sure to do impossible things
If you follow your heart
Your dreams will fly on magical wings
When you follow your heart
—"Follow Your Heart,"
Thumbelina
A song or musical theme, often overlapping with an
"I Want" Song and becoming either a
Bootstrapped Theme or
Music of Note, about the power of following your dreams/your heart/a star and/or making wishes. When done right, will cause even the most jaded badass to cry
Manly Tears at the
Awesome Music, when done wrong you will say "
Tastes Like Diabetes". The Diabetes flavor will become either quickly forgotten or a pandemic level
Ear Worm ("Small World" class), the
Awesome Music will become as notable if not
more than the work it premiered in.
