Go The Distance - Disney's Hercules - cover by Elsie Lovelock
Hey peeps!! Here's my cover of one of my most precious childhood songs! The movie version makes me cry the most, though I do love the Michael Bolton version as well :D for anyone who's trying to go the distance, this one's for you!
Forgive my silly face and me constantly looking over the mic, I was trying to check the recording was staying stable all the way through on my laptop XD
Composed by Alan Menken
Written by David Zippel
Many thanks to my amazing friend Kendra Masonchuck for pitching up the instrumental for me! You're the best!!! xxx
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE BACKGROUND AUDIO INVOLVED HERE. I OWN NOTHING BUT MY VOICE. THE INSTRUMENTAL WAS FAIRLY PURCHASED FROM A KARAOKE WEBSITE. THIS IS JUST FOR FUN AND NOT FOR PROFIT WITH NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.

The singers on KZread sing better than most of the famous singers on tv. Very well done. Keep doing what your doing.

IrisClaudia, I agree with you on that. Most if not all the singers that are famous don't have the natural gift that most of the KZread singers have

Do you honestly think untalented or unskilled people would get record contracts? Those people ARE talented, it's the people working for them that change their image and performance style. When you sign, you're signing over your soul.
Anyone know any talent agents? Let's make fame happen for this amazing singer, people! We can't be selfish and keep her to ourselves! Get her on Broadway!

This song is great u think you'll ever try to redo it ?
how can you sing everything so epically and not be famous yet?
Absolutely amazing Elsie! you have a Idina Menzel quality to your voice. I can't explain it, but you remind me of her when you sing!! Beautiful cover, and this is one of my favorite disney songs too
I found myself clicking "like" before you even started singing... I've just gotten used to it, I guess! x) Got chills every where... Simply stunning, dear!

Haha I do the same!
Wow... Just blew me away. Was this uploaded from Heaven, because it sounds like an angel sang this! Awesome as usual, Elsie.
You sound like Idina Menzel 0-0 So beautiful!
you're honestly one of my favorite singers....ever.
YOU HAVE THE VOICE OF A GODDESS
As you sang the chorus I started to tear up - completely not expecting that. Your singing voice has an incredible quality to it and I honestly don't know how you're not more famous. I'm glad you've got some voice acting roles but you deserve plenty more. Good luck to you, you insanely talented person.

38 now. How very sad for them
Your cover is FANTASTIC! I didn't know I needed this in my life until now. I love it!
This just made me cry tears of happiness!!! Best cover i've ever heard!!
Gave me chills. I stumbled on your "far longer than forever" duet and can't stop watching your videos. You are immensely talented!
Holy cow! You SLAYED this! Easily one of your best covers by far. Top 5.
I have never added a vid to my favorites this quickly, only 20 seconds in and goosebumps hit me. You are amazing girl
Brought an actual tear to my eye. :'D

I think this is my favourite cover of yours Elsie, I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this
This is the best cover I've heard! You're amazing! This song was a part of my childhood too and makes me cry as well :) Well done!
OMG this is SO AMAZING! I love it so much! ❤

This pulled my heart strings Ive been listening to all your covers Honestly you're an inspiration ☺ please keep making these 💖
Your voice is so amazingly powerful, it's like it reaches into my soul and hits me right in the nostalgia. I honestly think Disney should hire you to sing for their movies. If you did it would bring back a sense of my childhood that their newer movies seem to lack. You are incredible
Finding this made my week. I wanted to hear it three of your covers in, and I got lucky!
wow.... just wow... you are fabulous!!! I started a couple covers of this song and stoped watching a few seconds in but you a just amazing! I'm going to watch more of your covers now....
OMG this amazing! I love the sheer power of your voice!Never stop singing!
I've grown up on all of these beautiful songs, but I never thought I'd enjoy yours more than the original. This song might as well represent my life in a nutshell. Thank you for this beautiful rendition Elsie.
As usual, your singing is perfect and amazing. You simply have a gift, sweetie! Keep going!
Amazing cover of this song! I just love how you make every song your own! This was so much higher than the original, but still so great, amazing feeling in this!
It's THE most amazing cover I've ever heard! I wish you all the best!! Keep going ♥♥
This makes me so happy :D You're so amazing! I keep telling everyone that I know to come check you out because you are just so amazing! Thanks for being you
I love this song!!! I just moved from FL to CA and I miss everyone and everything this song describes my life right now. thank you!!!!
This is so gorgeous!!!!! :D amazing job!
Yaaaaas, finally!!! Awesome Elsie!
OMG O.O This version it's so brilliant, I love it. Great work
The last part got me, make me teary eye, ohmy what a amazing voice, is a pleasure to listen to you ;u;!

I love how much passion you put into each song you sing!!! :D A beautiful job like always!
Wow!!! Just wow! You absolutely nailed it!!
Damn Elsie, this brought me to tears. It's so unbelievable good!! You are a legend!
OMG I'm crying! I really love your cover 😍
This is so beautiful!!! I love this song so much and you sing it beautifully!
this is by far my favorite female cover of go the distance
I love this so much! Amazing job ♡
So I'm on a binge of your songs and wow. I'm speechless ❤
WOW! Fabulous! Your high belt is astounding. Very inspirational! I'm a singer too, but have never been able to belt that high. Fantastic!
VERY GOOD Elsie!!! YOUR VOICE, WONDERFUL!!! Listen to your cover shakes with emotions! applause!!! =D ❤❤❤
Hey!!! :-D "Hercules" has never been among my favourite Disney films, but this cover is absolutely brilliant! I've enjoyed it far more than the film version. :-) And by the way, I clicked the "I like this" button before you even started singing the song - and I must say that it was a huge understatement. The "I adore this" button would be more appropriate. :-)
This song means so much to me- reminds me of my dream and how I have to keep going, so hearing you sing it was just incredible. Absolutely fantastic :) You have such range and such strength in your voice. You should be more well known for it.
LYRICS I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way if I can be strong I know every mile would be worth my while When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance And my journey is complete, oh yeah But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't care how far, I can go the distance 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms I will search the world, I will face its harms 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms
You have such a gifted and an amazing voice! I can listen to this cover all day and this is perhaps better than the original version. :) You are really REALLY talented!
I just wanted to say how amazing this is. this is my favorite Disney song of all time. you have a very powerful voice and it works well with this song! :)
Hooray! A new cover! And I must say, you sang "by his heart" in a way that flows better musically than it did in the original song. Kudos for that. Always something that I'm happy to see in my subscription feed. Good job, Elsie!
YOUR RANGE. YOUR VOICE. IT IS AWESOME. This is GORGEOUS!
Amazing cover! Your voice reminds me a lot of Elphaba from Wicked. You really make the song your own, I got chills from listening. You are incredible :)
Now that was gold, every note a gem!! #NewFavorite Keep on singing, Elsie..
This is the passion I needed
By far the best cover of this song I've ever heard
LOVE IT!!!! Your voice is so powerful and amazing!!!!
I have waited for this day when a female cover has been made for this song with a singer that can convey what the feels for this song is. You have exceeded the amazement of this song with your voice!!! TT^TT Thank you for doing this song!!
I BOW TO YOUR SUPERIOR VOCAL SKILLS!!! You have yet again proven that you have truly earned a place with the singing gods!!! :D
You are absolutely amazing! Beautiful and powerful voice, totally blew me away
Oh my goodness. This was so beautiful!:D
This is crazy. AMAZING. I love it.
Wow! That fantastic! Reminded me of both Celine Dion and Idina Menzel. Tone and feeling was flawless and you even brought a bit of the 90's nostalgia back for me so thats even more cool! ;) You did wonders with this! ;D
What are you doing on KZread anyways XD You could be the next Christian Aguilera girl
Amazing. You gave me goose bumps throughout the whole song!
Oh God, I'm so far behind on KZread and all things in the online world, it's not even funny! I can't believe I missed you uploading this! Elsie, I seriously think this is one of the best covers you've ever done! Flawless doesn't even begin to describe how perfect this is. I think I'm on my third or fourth listen now lol
