My Brother passed away from Cancer at the age of 31. This song brings me down to tears every time. God bless those who fight Cancer
very young
I'm so sorry!!!!!
Nobody ever loses a fight to cancer, the fight just ends,
My grandfather passed away in cancer 2019:-(
So sorry. The good die young oftentimes ❤️
Oh man, after 24 years, this song is still so touching...
I love this movie!!! And Elton's music is magical and brings this cartoon to life. Elton John is an incredible singer and a musical genius!!!! My favorite artist of all!
This was the movie that litteraly made me cry my eyes out when i was 6 years old i remember my uncle had to take my brother and i out of the cinema😂
a great song transcends time and enriches the movie. another great example (as far as soundtrack genre goes) is Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston - When you believe
Yes it is still and will always be the best and most touching song ever it makes me cry every time i hear it because it brings back so many memories of my childhood
@@conniebutts172 yes i agree he is the best singer he puts his heart into his music and that's what makes him and his music so amazing
My father passed away yesterday, i always remember how we laughed and hugged each other like Mufasa and Simba scene. These loving memories will live forever. I love you Dad!
Condolences my friend.
❤
God bless you 🙏
❤
oh i'm sorry. keep the memories alive and be strong like a rock!
Still one of the most well written, spiritual thought provoking songs of all time!
Literally just listened to it, randomly, on April 6th, 2023 after not having seen the movie in ages. Seeing the movie clips along with the song brought tears to my eyes. The emotional response from this song is undebatable.
@@Emolokz I concur!
He is the best
Elton’s best work of all in my opinion.. he was drug free here
AMEN.
The legacy of Elton John is beyound humanity.

Probably a better lesson for the mortgage providers. (The last decade has not been a Disney film!)
It's been said many times in many ways and many songs.
What a voice, what a tune, what a song, what a feeling…
Ladies and Gentleman, The Amazing, The Legendary...Sir Elton John
"You should never take more than you give" ❤
❤
my dad died at 29, two months after i turned 9 in 1993, this song hits me hard everytime, elton was one of his many favorite singers.
The sad thing is, this song was also recorded in 1993...
Be strong and try to keep the memories alive
❤
@@nwezetx1 ...no sh!t sherlock🤭
OMG - I am 51 and I just cried when I heard/ watched / sang this . Masterpiece.
Elton looks so happy singing this song he's been a real treasure to the world for over 50 years ❤
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
My father passed away from 3 types of cancer in 1990 right in front of my face when I was only 10 years old and this song reminds me of him
Yesterday's Disney is far better than today's Disney. This is a prime example ❤❤
Everything is is far better than today's life.
Todays Disney are more interested in Grooming kids into following certain narratives than entertainment.
@@MyDanymax...definitely true about the disney films...why did they stop the cartoons after brother bear???
...dunno about life tho...i keep thinking about it and cant make up my mind...every generation says that...i wonder why?
...maybe cos people still have dreams and plans when theyre young...?
Never take more than you give

@@rickspalding3047 yeah. The peak was mid 90s. By the 2001s (two towers) it was clear things were changing fast. And here we are
There is nothing better than The Lion King. Amazing animation, outstanding story, and timeless unforgettable music written by a genius.
I mean the Prince of Egypt easily goes toe to toe in terms of animation, voice acting, music quality and story
@@daxlucero2437😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, Tim rice.
And UP!
Quite possibly one of if not my favorite song in the history of Disney. This song is truly legendary.
Elton John is beyond genius.... we are so fortunate
Best song in the history of the music business.
Elton's talent will NEVER EVER EVER be equalled. He is outstanding. Love this man.
I agree 100% he has the best voice ever
Elton John is a treasure.
NEVER EVER
I remembered when this song first came out, it gave me goosebumps, 3 decades later, I still get goosebumps whenever I hear this song.
Same here
Absolutely!

I have 7 one lives in Japan I love this song to
@I. A Sorry, I don't think its a depressing song at all . Somehow it makes me to think of this beautiful life we live and its too short, so we must have it all while we can. It all dependes how you see it, right? But of course I respect your oppinion.
Mufasa said: "Everything on Earth exists together
in a delicate balance. We must respect that balance. We are all connected in the Circle of Life." Best of luck!
I thought EXACTELY the same 🥹

I added this song from Elton John to a playlist that I made on iTunes which happens to be called, "Quick travel songs 5⃣." 🦁🦁
The British singers of the 80s. All magnificent geniuses!
Elton John is a genius, what a song!
I agree with you !
He wasn't the one who sang it in the film though. This is just a cover.
@@StephSolace He *wrote* the original, tho
@@StephSolace he wrote the original song and technically the one in the film is the cover even tho they were both made for the film
@@StephSolace He wrote the song for the film which makes it a cover and his the original, literally the writer takes all credit in terms of originality
I really like how overtime, Elton Johns voice gets somehow deeper and more soulful. He’s a legend :)
He had vocal cord surgery for nodules in 1987, and that caused him to sing deeper than before. I love him to death, just saw him on his farewell tour. He was amazing
Emily Poole does he sing any of the lion king songs? Thinking about going in May either way
I did too, and just finished his book
not the one I went to
Yes. He also sings Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
Some say this is the greatest production ever . Some say this is the most glorious creation and wonderful experience possible. The writer is one of those people.
2:37 gives me goosebumps. Heart Touching Song
From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen
Than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say, "Eat or be eaten."
Some say, "Live and let live."
But all are agreed
As they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
Fractal Universe · all things are connected It’s the band of hope
I always thought it was, "but all are agreed, in the jointless Stampede ...
I love it
Thanks for sharing!
Such a beautiful, uplifting song, lyrics and amazing rendition!!! Loved it! Thank you for sharing!!!
His voice is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate your love and massive support ❤️🙏
We are so blessed to have Elton John in our lives. When he sings from his ❤️ heart he ALSO sings from his very own SOUL..THANK YOU ELTON JOHN GOD BLESS YOU
the ultimate power of music
I know I'm not alone on this, but there is a very spiritual feeling that comes with this song. It's almost like I can feel God's presence whenever I here this.
So true
Doubt it. Elton's gay so your god hates his guts.
Same
YeSsss!!!!
I definitely hear you and get the same feeling
I dont care Disney redid the recording for The Lion King, this is still the true song for the film. A beautiful voice for a beautiful movie.
Yes! This was and is the music that reached out and touched our souls.
Definately touched our souls xxx Elton is amazin
Tbf, this music doesn't fit with an African savannah vibe, so it makes sense that they changed it
I was in shock (negatively to make it very clear) when I heard the new version of Can You Feel The Love Tonight sang by Matteo Bocelli... nothing to do with the original, but performed with the arrogance and pompousness that only a child of the narcissistic generation could ever deliver... also, pay attention to the surname... nepotism... it's everywhere these days
can only make it in the biz if you have certain surname or if you inherit your fame from relatives... gone are the legendary heroes that built their career from the ground up
only one word to describe this song : MAGICAL
I saw him in detroit in 1971, again in 1994 in the face to face with billy joel, and he truly is a talent that only a few ever achieve. thank you elton , i was blessed to see him
I'm a male in my early 30s. This song still brings tears to my eyes. If there is a time for this track in this crazy world, we are all currently living in it is now we need to strive for a better world 🌎
The Lion King is one of the best films Disney has ever created. It has a moral lesson. It values family and your roots. How a parent could sacrifice to fight for his or her child. I miss these types of movies.

Still gives me goosebumps after all these years!
Absolutely should have been used. One of Eltons best of which there are many.
Gives me goosebumps and chills of awe every time I listen to this song. Shows how precious and fragile life is.
@MajorasMask1881 thank you for your comment 😀
True!
Circle circle circle!
Turning around and around!
Life is not precious by any metric.
@@tobediscontinued1795 that is because you see the glass half empty with a leak in it. Best to change your perspective
@@PraveenSriram I've heard every perspective. Life is not precious. It shouldn't be here.
It brings tears to my eyes. My whole childhood. The nostalgia hits me hard. I used to watch this movie every night with my cousin when we were kids!
Elena I feel the same 😢
Chuy is that you
Elena I’m your 100th like!
i grew up with this movie, this was the 1st ever disney movie i got on VHS when they had the disney clamshell cases
Elena omg yesssss me and my cousin used to watch this movie all the time too!!!! So many childhood memories!!!
My twin Sister died of cancer at the age of 29 .She had a baby girl, only 2 yrs old..
I raised her has mine own. What a GIFT she left me. This song says it all. SOME HAVE TO GO THRU OUR STRUGGLES...
Life without you would be dull.
Thank you Elton
I think this was Elton's most happiest moment. This is where he really new he really "made it." I have never seen him so happy in any other video. Not to mention what a great song. There's only 1 Elton.
david carroll I couldn't agree with you more. He was so happy when he won the Oscar with Tim Rice for best original song. Then he, Rice, and Zimmerman for best musical score adaptation. I love in this video of him holding the Lion cub. Yup only one Elton.🦁
This is just another one of Elton's songs that rips your heart out. I'm so glad that I lived in the era that I was able to hear Elton's music. And, I was never aware of "The Way You Look Tonight" until recently. I don't know how I missed the one.
I agree
He made it with Yellow Brick Road though, but maybe he made it on a different level with this. If he didn't already make, he would not have been chosen to sing this.
The one is another Elton John song . It’s a masterpiece
This song is a timeless masterpiece, gives me chills and tears every time I hear it.
much better the Italian version (Ivana Spagna - Il cerchio della vita)
@@termostatodentifricio7618 Hell no! This original version is 1000000000x BETTER than the Italian version!!!!
Yeah my inner emotions kick in every time the chorus joins in

A song I can truly call magnificent in every way. A masterpiece
Dedicated to my mom who died from cancer she loved this song rest in peace mummy 💋❤️🌹

Dang but Elton is such a fantastic vocalist. The overall production was very inspirational.
Over 25 years later, this song is still epic and will always reign true.
Absolutely!
All of us. This is my song
I was 9 when i knew Elton john.
I knew him in this song and this movie too

It's 28 years now. Still epic!
@@thewildbruce5612 of course. Times goes to fast
Elton John Is very great.Congratulations.
Im 34 an this movie was my first movie i went to see. Emotions sky rocketing right now
To think they thought they would do a better job remaking this movie. Everything about the original lion king was perfect. The soundtrack is unmatched, probably best soundtrack to a movie of all time.
Close tie with Tarzan for sure though
...should have just released the Lion King in theaters again honestly. would have saved everyone a lot of money and time

@@sharedmemories3729 I think they would have had a bigger success as well I personally never saw the lion king in the theater because I was so young and I would absolutely love to go see the original in the theater
This movie is still the greatest animated film of all time.
FAITH. LOVE. HOPE.
The most important things the world needs NOW!!! 💖
I have to admit it! Elton John is also an amazing singer
What I really like about "Circle of Life" is that the version at the start of the movie is more energetic, and in a higher key, like life is beginning. With the lower pitch and slower tempo, this feels like reflecting on the life of a loved one after they've passed, coming full Circle.
Sir Elton in best, the Song bring me Tears in my eyes😢
This is the song we played at my best friends funeral, it still brings tears to my eyes
I want this song to be played at my funeral
Sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss!!!
I’m really sorry for the loss of your best friend and wish you all the best
Elton John is the reason this movie is so great.
Elton John a legend
Elton John, einzigartig👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was 12 when this movie was released. I cry every time I listen to this song. The message this movie delivers, it's so deep that many children we were unable to understand then. We all will die, but our children will go on the precious circle of life.
What's the message? I haven't watched and won't watch this movie
@@sandeepmortal sad story bro
I cry when I watch lion king
@@sandeepmortal that's the price where you couldn't be as famous as you think because you allowed people to sandblast your a-- 20x or more lol
Amen!! I cry second this song comes on
There is something very spiritual and at the same time cathartic about this song soulfully sung by Elton. It helped me get through the unexpected passing of our dog Archie, a very special member of our family.
I can empathise with the pain of that. Hope this song helped.
Yes the circle of life is something spiritual
It's harder to lose a pet then it is a person. Animals are innocent and give unconditional love. I am sorry for your loss. Someday you will see your dog again.
RIP Archie😢❤️
all love to you and your past away dog
Literally the best animated movie ever...
Happy 77th birthday Elton John💜🎉🥳
"Some of us sail through our troubles and some have to live with the scars..."
Ain't that the truth.
Aint it just?
Me and my 104 year old grandfather who served in ww2 and we sing this together all the time
Amazing you do it! Inspirational!
How sweet!!
Keep singing, grandpa!
Thank you for your service in such a tough time during the depression and Nazi brutality yet having the strength and bravery to destroy those horrible people
Wow 104 what a gentleman ❤️❤️
Is he still alive tho?
Ich habe meinen Mann 💔 mit diesem wunderschönen Song am. 5.5.2023 verabschiedet. Mein Herz ist für immer gebrochen!
Definitely the best song written for a movie. Best suited , No competition
The way he sings the chorus is just heavenly!
Circle of life is the wheel of fortune yeah!
Elton John a musical icon we can never forget. A living legend of our time.
So so so true!
My all time favorite in my honest opinion a better singer than Elvis
The Rocket Man film has thankfully put him so much more in the spotlight again and introduced him to a younger audience.
Circle of Life is a masterpiece, should be the only song used in all Lion King
There are no words in any lexicon or any language that can describe the sheer beauty and significance to mankind of this wonder.
I still remember how this song made me feel when I was a boy of 9 years old watching the Lion King on the big screen. It was as if I could touch the greatness and magnificence of the world and life itself. It truly lifted my spirits and I still cherish and relive that beautiful moment today. Enjoy life to the fullest
Me too, in 94 i was 9 years and watching on the big screen with school class :)
Words to live by.
He sings it with incredible passion
Ich bekomme jedes mal wenn ich den song höre gänsehaut
One of the most accomplished musicians of all time. Elton is definitely one of the GOATs.
Great lyrics from Tim Rice & the performance by Elton John is nothing short of majestic. "But all are agreed as they join the stampede... You should never take more than you give."
Next level lyrics.
Well, Elton John is not only the performer, he composed the theme, just like the rest of the Lion King songs
Nobody will ever do this song like sir elton !! RESPECT THIS LEGEND IN OUR EYE'S !!
You say it soooo right
Absolutely
This was the perfect song for Elton John
such powerful emotions
His eyes are SPARKLING!
Elton John a true legend
Thanks Elton!
My older brother died on February 19th, 2023 (very recent). This song reminds me so much of our traditional brother, sister, and mom visits at our local zoo in NYC. Whenever the three of us go to the zoo, we listen to this song the whole way there on repeat and then when we are done visiting all of the exhibits, we then listen to this song all the way back home. This year is a lot different now that he is gone from his unexpected skiing accident. I hope to one day share this same tradition when I find the right husband and our children will carry on this tradition. But for right now, I will carry on my brothers legacy by doing this tradition with his friends from college and meeting up at the zoo while listening to this song until I finally find that Mr. Right for myself. Rest In Peace Ryan. I will never forget you! (January 20th 1992- February 20th 2023). May the circle of life always carry on in the leap of faith. 🐯🦁🐒🦍🦧🦬🦙🐿🐇🦏🦛🦣🐘🦒🐃🐗🐆🐅🦓🦌
