The Impossible Dream - Josh Groban - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Theater songs have a way of transcending their origins and become embedded in the fabric of popular culture. “The Impossible Dream (The Quest),” for instance, is a song from the 1965 Broadway musical Man of La Mancha. It was written by musical theater composer Mitch Leigh with lyrics by Joe Darion. It describes the feeling of embarking on a grand and noble quest. The song quickly became the most popular number from the musical, as well as the 1972 film of the same name. It has since been covered countless times, by artists such as Elvis Presley, Roberta Flack, and Aretha Franklin. In 2020, singer and songwriter Josh Groban released his own version of the song as part of his album Harmony. Josh Groban’s trademark operatic pop style fits the song’s quixotic theme, bringing an added poignancy to the lyrics. Harmony debuted at Number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart, and his version of “The Impossible Dream” gained critical acclaim.
