Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til nowโฆ is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores youโve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. โI Knew It, I Knew Youโ from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. ๐ค ๐ด

so, as i was checking my composed songs from the past years, i noticed that they always reflect my incapabilities, my insecurities, and how no one ever supported me in reaching my dreams. lmao.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Hacienda Luisita Massacre which was rooted in agrarian struggle. Seven people were killed when police opened fire on striking famers. Not one police officer has been held accountable for the deaths. No justice. (Photos by Jes Aznar).
