Where can I hear the whole clip and his howl?
Doesn't anyone think Emily Blunt should have said "...and a baker for bread" more lovingly in her lyric delivery? The song is supposed to be about how she realizes the love she has for the Baker.
Also, check it guys, here's a clip of Meryl and the Baker and his Wife:

Posted: 12/13/14 at 5:14amI couldn't hold out and listened to one more complete track other than Stay With Me - Last Midnight. It's another magnificent performance by Meryl. My one tiny disappointment is the way the tempo is briefly slowed down at the end on the line "everybody down on all fours" - kinda kills the wonderfully dramatic build-up to the end of the song. But, whatever, minor quibble.

"Doesn't anyone think Emily Blunt should have said "...and a baker for bread" more lovingly in her lyric delivery? The song is supposed to be about how she realizes the love she has for the Baker."
I haven't seen/heard Emily Blunts Moment in the Woods yet, but the way I see it having "a Baker for bread" isn't a very loving statement to make about your husband.
I think at this point she still wondering how to bring order into all that chaos and tries to divide up her life into clear parts
having a "Child for warmth" or emotional reasons,
a baker/husband "for bread" or practical reasons
and a prince "for whatever".
After some back and forth she then realizes that the baker means more to her than just a save but boring livelihood(to make it simple - don't know if my english sustains any attempt to go deeper into my thoughts about this song since it's not my first language. Or maybe I got the Song totally wrong and someone can correct me.)
At least thats what I got out of it.

I can't believe it took me until 2014 to realize that "bread" has more than one meaning in that song. Jesus, I'm thick.

It appears that these links have been taken down.
Does this mean that the soundtrack has been released early?

Just listened to "no one is alone"
It wasn't good.
Sadly, I really did not enjoy it.
In other news, Streep still sounds hot and I have so much respect for Emily Blunt now.

I listened to Last Midnight...it. was. AMAZING.
I worried that I would ruin my movie experience, but then I realized that it's an entire different feeling when the music is booming all around you, then you see the acting/special effects.
I still will get chills.
I also listened to the rap, and it sounds that she did it pretty subtle for the film, and it works.

Here is a brand new article/interview with Marshall, Streep, and Sondheim!
https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-stephen-sondheim-meryl-streep-into-the-woods-20141214-story.html#page=1
NOTES:
-Sondheim says that Streep was meant to play the part all along, because Streep and Peters are anagrams of eachother (only Sondheim )
-Thw Witch's Transformation had no CGI in it (well, I'm pretty sure for the "magic" there was, but the rest had no CGI, and in the featurette/trailer it seems that she is levitating and shoots up in the air during it).
Marshall says about that, "Well, first of all, you — Meryl is incredibly physical. I mean, she's a dancer. I can't tell you how many times she fell doing the work because she throws herself into it. Literally on the ground a million times."

So my composer friend and I plan to make a day out of catching this in NYC after Christmas! Any restaurant recommendations?
I've actually been avoiding all trailers and song clips aside from the ads they play on TV. I want to be totally surprised. And HorseTears, very funny- but she would be a collectible doll so no belly-action...LOL!

@Joviedamian, I did. The cast is just as good as the early screening reviews suggested and heck I even liked Johnny Depp's singing as The Wolf, his howl at the end was FANTASTIC! Once I see the film I'll do a review on it.
Chris Pine's voice surprised me in the best possible way and he'd make a great Joe Gillis in SUNSET BOULEVARD.

Maybe "a baker for bread" does just mean "being able to live". Still, he is her husband, and I would think after "child for warmth" she would mean with "baker for bread" to be someone for companionship, someone to romantically love. Because she's talking about those kinds of relationships.
And who would need a husband only for practical reasons? That's...really terrible, to be married just to live. I know that women in once upon a time may have had to marry for exactly those reasons, to eat and live, but I feel like the Baker's Wife would not be so mean and shallow a person to do so. She loved the Baker once, and still does, doesn't she?
I think Johnny Depp's howl was melded with effects to sound that good. But I don't know.
Cinderella's singing in the Prologue, especially the calling of the birds, is so lovely, that after hearing that and the full "On the Steps of the Palace", maybe she does make a pretty beautiful sounding Cinderella.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 2:07am@MagicalMusical, I remember reading something online that briefly talked about Johnny Depp in the recording booth that his howl at the end wasn't enhanced in any way.

Then his ability to howl like that is amazing!
Am I the only who thought Meryl's swerve when talking to the Baker and his wife in the "have the curse reversed" clip was really weird and just one flaw in her acting there?

Chris Pine sounds pretty amazing.
A Sunset Boulevard film with him and Streep (or Close) is needed.
Anna Kendrick sounds lovely, but she's soooo nasally. She hits a few pretty notes here and there, but she just doesn't sound like Cinderella.
Lilla Crawford is prefect. Not a single problem with her. She's great.
Emily Blunt sounds very pretty and I'm very happy that she's playing this role. I don't know who else would.
James Corden... the Baker falls flat when they cut out No More. I'm sure that my opinion will change when I see the film, but I really miss that song.
Daniel Huttlestone is a good choice for Jack. I've heard a lot of complaints about him being played by someone younger. I always thought that in the stage show it was someone older playing someone younger so in the film they just had someone younger playing someone younger.
Meryl Streep still sounds amazing.
Couldn't we have had Alan Cumming play the Wolf? He would've been great.
