“Circle of Life” – Elton John

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwH9YvhPN7c]

Song written by Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice for the 1994 animated film, The Lion King. It was performed by Carmen Twillie and Lebo M. for the movie’s opening scene. Elton John’s version is included in the film’s soundtrack and was released as a single.

In an interview, Rice said he was astounded at how quickly John composed the music for “Circle of Life”, stating, "I gave him the lyrics at the beginning of the session at about two in the afternoon. By half-past three, he'd finished writing and recording a stunning demo."

Also, Elton John turns 75 today. Happy birthday to Sir Elton.

I first heard Elton's version on the radio right after my grandmother passed. It was powerful and meaningful and I won't forget it.

@uncalled4 It's powerful and meaningful to begin with. I can imagine how losing your grandmother right before hearing it for the first time would make it especially so. 🙏
