"Circle of life"

"Circle of Life"

We all know the song "Circle of Life" from the Lion King. I'm pretty sure this is the soundtrack for everyones childhood that was born around the late 90s (well 1994 and up). The piece was composed by Elton John and the lyrics by Tim Rice. Right when you put the cd in and press play, your hit with the Lebohang Morake (Lebo M) singing "Here comes a lion, Father" in isiZulu (the language of the Zulu people). This opening is like nothing i have ever heard before, the passion it is sang with is overwhelming. When the choir comes in they come in with what I feel is a nice soothing chant, I'm always amazed how well the choir stays together and how well the harmonize with each other. Now you can't forget that this was Disney so it was gonna be amazing. When Carmon Twillie joins in her voice is perfect for this song, I'm having a hard time trying to describe her voice so I'm going to just put it plain and simple...beautiful. One last thing about this song, if you listen closely there are tons of little sounds and instruments that have short little parts but add whole another level. It is really a brilliant piece.
