One of my inayopendelewa things about Disney sinema is the music, both instrumental and vocal. It's something I look mbele to every time a new Disney movie comes out and then I listen to the new songs on repeat for a few days (or, in some cases, weeks). Today I decided to put together a orodha of my juu ten inayopendelewa Disney songs (hardest orodha I ever made). The songs I have in this orodha are based on:
1. How often I listen to/sing the song
2. Nostalgia
3. How much I relate to the song
And I know this is kinda cheating but two of the spots include ties because they're songs that i upendo equally for similar reasons so instead of them putting them in their own spots and just copying and pasting the same reason over and over it's just easier to do ties
10. I Just Can't Wait to Be King from The Lion King
For as long as I can remember The Lion King has always been one of my all-time inayopendelewa movies. So when I was aliyopewa a tape that included I Just Can't Wait to Be King, of course I played it whenever I could almost every day, imba along loudly to it and reenacting the song with my stuffed animals. Sadly, the part of the tape that had this song was taped over a little bit and I still remember how upset I was. A few years later my stepmom gave me a cd with my own mix and when I heard this song on it I was so happy! Even now I have this song on my phone and I listen to it when I'm feeling down
9. Why Should I Worry? from Oliver and Company
While this movie was never that maarufu and has been considered underrated kwa many fans, myself included, Oliver and Company at least had some great songs, Why Should I Worry? being one of them. I watched Disney's Sing Along tapes a lot when I was a kid, mostly the one featuring Why Should I Worry? I don't know if it was because Dodger was my inayopendelewa character in the movie au if I loved this song that much au if I loved to watch this cool dog going around New York doing crazy stuff au what but even now I still upendo this song.
8. Do What wewe Gotta Do from Descendants 3
I haven't watched any of the Descendants sinema (I watched the first one while babysitting zaidi than once but the parents always came nyumbani right after Mal gave Ben the upendo potion cookie) but I'm not gonna lie, I love the songs. I can only think of a handful of them I don't have on my phone. Okay back on topic; like Mal, my parents were divorced. When I was only 3 my mom packed us up and moved to a town 2-3 hours away from our dad so we only got to see him every other week. Eventually it was once au twice a month, then once a year. I know he loved us but he was one of those dads who didn't make the effort to come see us unless it was a special occasion (can only remember a few times that happened) so for a while I thought he just didn't upendo us. Even though my relationship with my dad was better than Mal with hers, some of the stuff Mal alisema to Hades were things I wanted so badly to say to him every time I saw him. I'm really glad I never alisema any of those things to him because I know I would have regretted it. Even though this song reminds me of me and my dad, I still upendo playing it and imba along to it
7. Stand Out from A Goofy Movie
A Goofy Movie is another one of my all-time inayopendelewa sinema and its soundtrack is one of my vipendwa and Stand Out is my inayopendelewa song from the movie. It's a song I listen almost every siku no matter what mood I'm in ever since I got the soundtrack on my ipod when I was in high school. I honestly regret not performing this song in my school like Max did for his school. I used to watch the scene over and over again on tape because I loved the dance moves, I loved Max's 90s outfit and his 90s hairstyle, and the song itself is awesome.
6. Queen of Mean from Descendants 3
Though my orodha says otherwise I am a huge villain song shabiki and not to be a cliche Youtube commenter but I somehow relate zaidi to villain songs. I know Audrey wasn't the nicest person (at least that's what I'm assuming from what other people have alisema about her) but when she says "I'm so tired of pretending. Where's my happy ending?" it just gets me right in the feels. My whole life I've tried to follow all the rules and be kind and yet I see people who used to be awful do the things I've always wanted au be seen as "heroes" despite all the things they've done while I'm struggling. Even though I'd never want to hurt others it actually helps to sing about being bad.
5. I Am Moana from Moana (no duh, right?) and onyesha Yourself from Frozen 2
I've alisema a few times why Moana the movie meant so much to me but for those of wewe who don't know, the night my dad passed away I was rewatching this movie since I couldn't see him because I lived really far away from him. I was already feeling horrible and in pain from the loss that was coming (I had gotten a phone call that he had only a few hours left before immediately watching the movie) and surprisingly enough, the song How Far I'll Go reprise wasn't the song that helped me through this (since Moana had to leave her grandma before she passed away and Moana was at least happy that her grandma could live on in spirit in the ocean) it was I Am Moana. When Moana was at her lowest after Maui left and she had to give up the moyo her grandma came and helped her realize who she was. While I didn't have that exact experience, this song helped lessen the pain I was in and like Moana sang to her grandma, I will carry my dad in my heart
onyesha Yourself has a similar effect. When I saw Frozen 2 in theaters I was disappointed with the movie as well as the soundtrack but onyesha Yourself and a few other songs really stood out for me. Even though Frozen mostly reminds me of my sister (who I like to think of as the Elsa to my Anna) onyesha Yourself has me thinking of my dad. I know it's weird to think that because it's a song with Elsa and her mom and at first I was thinking it was because "Oh Elsa misses her parents like I miss my dad" but it's because when Queen Iduna sings part of her lullaby and Elsa kinda joins in it reminds me of when my dad used to hum the "I upendo you" song from Barney (yes I was a Barney the Purple Dinosaur kid shhhhhh) to me as I fell asleep and that's a memory I'll always cherish.
4. Friend Like Me
This is another song I listened to every chance I got when I was a kid. From start to finish there's just so much crazy and fun stuff happening and being a Robin Williams shabiki the fact that it's him imba it makes it better. I loved watching sinema with pop culture references like Hercules, Aladdin, and A Goofy Movie when I was a kid which is another reason I upendo this song so much
3. Part of Your World
The Little Mermaid was one of the reasons why I was so interested in water and ocean life. I was told really early in life that mermaids weren't real but I still liked to imagine what it would be like to be a mermaid. I even used to pretend to be a mermaid and sing Part of Your World to my stuffed animals. Even as an adult I still upendo to sing this song, mostly in the dark and in the kuoga so I can really feel like a mermaid (I'm an adult, I swear).
2. Speechless Part 2 from Aladin 2019
I've always felt like I don't have a voice, I just went along with what everyone wanted and when I did speak up I was always treated like I didn't know what I wanted au like I was a child. After growing up and moving away from those people I became zaidi assertive and spoke up zaidi whenever someone mistreated me. I'm even at a point of not taking any abuse from customers at my work, especially during this pandemic, calling them out when they decide to curse at me because they don't want to wear a mask au when they get mad at me for not understanding them with their mask on (i'm hard of hearing and even wear a pin for it). We're all going through something in life and I refuse to take anymore abuse from people who don't know how to handle it. Cause I know that I won't go speechless.
1. You'll Be in My moyo from Tarzan/Remember Me from Coco/Next Right Thing from Frozen
Yep, this one is a 3-way tie. These songs used to remind me of my family because for a few years I lived states away from them and only got to see them once au twice a mwaka so I missed them.
But now these songs mean something else to me.
On krisimasi Eve I had to put my cat down because of a tumor in her chest. I adopted her when I was a teenager and the 14 years I had her I always saw her as my best friend and my baby because we just had this bond that couldn't be broken. She was always there for me when I cried, when my apartment building caught moto I only cared about getting her out and kept her dry when we had to stand in the middle of the rain while the moto got put out, I made sure she stayed with me on planes and in hotels, I risked a lot for her and she was always there for me. The siku I Lost her it felt like a big part of me died with her. It's been 2 months and I still cry, I still feel empty, I still grieve for her.
You'll Be in My moyo reminds me of that bond I had with my girl. The siku I adopted her I was having a hard time finding a cat that I really connected with but when I picked her up she started purring immediately. To this siku I don't know if it was because she was stressed/scared (because apparently Cats will purr when they're feeling that way too) au if it was upendo at first sight but whatever it was it helped me pick her. Since that siku we were inseparable. The bond between us could not be broken. I know wherever she is now I will always be her mother and she will always be in my heart.
When I listen to Remember Me I think of the song I hummed for her when I alisema goodbye to her, I think about how she felt in my arms au in my lap, and I'll always remember her until the siku she's in my arms again.
The siku I got the news that I had to put my furbaby down I felt like Anna when she was crying in the caves after she Lost Olaf and Elsa. The siku I Lost my girl the grief had a gravity that pulled me down. Eventually I had the strength to rise from the floor and take a step. It still takes me everything not to look to far ahead because even now it's too much for me to take. But I still try my best to do the inayofuata right thing.
Did wewe like my list? Sorry I made it so depressing in the end 😅 Leave a maoni and tell me what wewe think :)
