    Favourite TLK songs

    I didn't see a thread for this, and, if there was one, it's probably fallen off the page and I didn't want to necro it.

    What's your favourite TLK songs?

    I personally love "Hakuna Matata" and "Love Will Find A Way". When young Simba sings in Hakuna Matata, I get chills from his incredible voice. Old simba is a pretty rad singer too.

    As for Love Will Find A Way, it's just a wonderful song.

    Discuss!

    My favourite song would have to be Circle of Life, the movie version though and not Elton John's version.

    My favourite instrumental is This Land, it just wins.

    I love them all. I'm fond of the Broadway versions though. I dunno. In the movie, I like Hakuna Matata. My favourties instrumental is Kings of the Past. It's not really on the sountrack recording but it just gives me chills.

    I prefer the Broadway orchestrations for Be Prepared. If I could have Jeremy Irons sing it with over those, it would be awesome.

    Mm, definitely ...To Die For. I haven't listened to any of the TLK soundtracks in a long while, but I love that instrumental.

    That's a good one too. It's hard to listen to it while driving though... it makes me speed.

    All of the "big five" have special places in the nerve that links my ears to my heart, but as for my FAVOURITE favourite, I'm eternally torn between Hakuna Matata and Can You Feel the Love Tonight. The former is not only damn fun to listen to, but an absoloutely vital part of my favourite character's development... I'm not really reffering to his verse alone; more the fact that without Hakuna Matata, there would simply be no Timon and/or Pumbaa; at least not as we know and love them now. Pluh; I hate it when things are so hard to explain.

    I don't know if there's ever been a song that carries as much passion, but also as much fresh innocence, as CUFtLT does. It's beautiful enough to defy description or analysis altogether - and that's saying a lot, considering I'm inclined to lose all sanity if I mention something without going into detail on it. The last verse is also a gem for me because it reveals that, for lack of a better phrase: "they have feelings too," contrary to popular fandom opinion. I could go on and on about how I wish that part could've been fleshed out more, but that's not the ramble I came here to spin.

    I happen to like the instrumentals more than the vocal songs, if anything. The Once and Future King, Kings of the Past, Under The Stars/Simba's Alive, Hunting/Pinned Again/Reunion and, of course, Battle of Pride Rock/Cleansing Rain/Ascension are highlights for me... but IMHO, the instrumentals as a whole are such high-quality that they're about 50% of what made TLK so awesome. I wonder if there's a thread devoted to instrumental discussion? I'll be sure to elaborate on my feelings for the soundtrack once I join/start that thread.

    All track names in the above paragraph are from the extended score - thanks for the link, TL. That music stirred parts of my soul I didn't even know existed.

    The instrumentals are what hooked me to actually go see the film back in the day. Bless you, Hans Zimmer. And bless whoever made that expanded score as well. Disney should really release it.

    Oooh, tricky one...

    As for me, my favourite TLK song ever has got to be both Circle of Life and He Lives in You. I just think both songs are awesome and they both have a real meaning to them.

    My favourite instrumental is This Land and Under the Stars, the instrumentals by Hans Zimmer.

    You know, I only learned of this song's existance yesterday. I really like it, as it is very fast tempoed, and the lyrics are fun to sing.

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.
