Man, I'm 19, about to be 20 soon and this was literally my childhood growing up. I'll never forget even playing this on the PS1. How time flies. Sad to see Disney don't make movies like these anymore. This is the song of my life, literally, and the soundtrack. The lyrics and everything, always bring tears too me espically with the powerful messages, and all I've been through. Phil Collins, my all time favorite legend, the guy who helped me throughout my life.
You know... if you really think about it, this song isn't just about one man. It's about everyone, we are so far spread apart and yet we see fit to divide ourselves when we could learn so much from each other. Just a though from a college kid near midnight.
Even among family we're still strangers. I mean think about it, how well do we really know our supposed "family members"? Yeah sure we talk and tell stories, but how well do we know each other really? I don't REALLY know any of them at all. It's kinda sad, really.
This song just lets me think of my future and my past. My past, because it reminds me of the moment I learned something big about myself. I've always been a quiet, reserved guy. I loved just spending hours in silence, looking at the world around me and thinking of many things. But people made me think I was weird, and I had to be loud and outgoing like them. Then I began reading about introverts and extroverts, and finally, I felt at home. Finally, I felt that I wasn't so weird after all. I was just different. But the song also makes me think of my future. I dream of a day when I find a true friend. It's hard being so alone sometimes. Sometimes you just need someone to lean on, someone who understands you. That need for a friend has only grown over the years. My mind betrays me with thoughts of death and suicide. I also struggle with an addiction, but all these things I've kept to myself for years now. And I can't help believing that if only I had someone that I could trust with all my secrets, someone I know I can talk to who won't judge me, that I'd finally win this fight. This song.... beautiful!
+Minne's-Shizzle If you love the movie, you might really enjoy reading the original Tarzan book series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I read them with my son when he was a kid and we both enjoyed them very much. It makes watching the film that much more fun.
He crooned for us ! He vibrated his oesophagus and vocal chords at simply the perfect pitch ! And words that simply strikes the soul and heart ! What a masterpiece of human biology and spiritual greatness !! Simply wowsers !!
Him standing down from performing just within the last few days (?) because of his health immediately made me think of this song. He has and always will be one of the best.
I am 35, I remember when I first saw Tarzan in a cinéma. I was a little bit old, no one to go with, but this soundtrack ( that Phil Collins sang beautifully in French) moved me so much. Today, as an adopted who doesnt know about his roots, the lyrics make more sense and I get why I was so touched then. Thank you Phil Collins, hope you rest in peace and beautiful music.
When you listened to this as a kid. You didnt know better.. but now when you have grown and see the outside world. You see what a masterpiece Tarzan and this song really is.
“somethings familiar about these strangers like me” - Neanderthals when they saw Homo sapiens for the first time (also the Spider-Man meme comes to mind)
Phil Collins is SOMETHING ELSE!! Adored him as a Disney singer for over two decades now...Tarzan and Jane are my favorite Disney couple and two of my favorite Disney CHARACTERS:) If only Jane had been the nanny and tutor to Ariel's daughter Melody, my life would be complete;)
Once again, A track written by the Legendary Phil Collins in such an iconic film and soundtrack in my childhood, that applies to me deeply, in all honesty. Real relatable, as I was always like a stranger because when I had moved to an entirely different place I didn't have many friends and was always the odd one out with my twin brother, but as time went on, I found many others like me and created many bonds. A track that I'll never forget, and one that will always be in my heart deeply. Thanks Phil, Always my icon, and again glad there's so many people that still listen to this underrated track these days. An unforgettable lyric, that I'll always remember; "Come with me now, to see my world, Where there's beauty beyond your dreams, Can you feel the things I feel, Right now, with you? Take my hand, There's a world I need to know" Legendary!
When I migrated back to India during the childhood years in schooling days, it felt the same like how the lyrics are going about. A whole new culture, lifestyle and harmony to enjoy with and moreover, in the beginning, I felt very lost and alone. But even then, only one thing came to my mind every time I stepped out, "I wanna know.."
This song speaks to me as someone with autism. I only developed social skills so my wife would like me. I’ve practically taken a course in psychology to understand her and I’d do it again for her gorgeous smile. Sometimes I felt like I really was raised by gorillas. But through persistence she warmed to me just as Jane did for Tarzan.
Honesty, my all time favorite movie since my childhood. Legendary soundtrack by Phil Collins, The Cast, the storyline, and the characters. Till this day, this movie and soundtrack brings me joy and a bit of tears to my eyes. If you asked me to describe this movie, I couldn't fit it all in this box. This film once out carried many childhoods espically with my generation, and some of these music literally give sentimental meaning to my past experiences, and life. Pure legend of a film. Happy Birthday Phil, thank you for creating this masterpiece. Always a Legend.
Literally, I always come here for a listen but honesty, my all time favorite movie since my childhood. Legendary soundtrack by Phil Collins, The Cast, the storyline, and the characters. Till this day, this movie and soundtrack brings me joy and a bit of tears to my eyes. If you asked me to describe this movie, I couldn't fit it all in this box. This film once carried out many childhoods espically with my generation, and some of these music literally give sentimental meaning to my past experiences, and life. Pure legend of a film. How time flies though. On Tuesday, the 19th of April, I'll be 20. How I wish we could all go back in time to live these days. The lyrics to my life, with all I've been through. The greatest soundtrack of all time.
Phil collins, you mean so much more to us than you think, i hope somehow some way you think of us still, as the audience that ssw your true potential, someone who could instill a child like wonder in us all, you're the reason i still cling to my old self as a way of classic wonder filled comfort, i only wish i could do the same for others as you've done for us, to a legend...Phil collins 💕
I love that if you take the song and apply it to almost any context it will work so good in showing the desperation of wanting to know more people like urself that will understand u in a way even close loved ones can't.
No idea why but this song really makes me wanna tear up not sure if it's just the great memories or if i connect with it or phill collins just goes hard on the whole movie and just so beautiful to the whole movie maybe all 3 idk
Tarzan is my second favourite Disney movie. And I love the soundtrack. Phil Collins didn't have to go all out❤. (Brave is favourite Disney movie. My great grandparents are Scottish and I can relate to Merida so much)
Brave was def one of my favorites because of the princess independence . She is still one of my favorites along with mulan tiana and belle + pocahontas..
I played this song from Phil Collins on the piano and it rocks. My friend remembers it well. Please make it clear that I'm not exactly a Phil Collins fan, but I want to sing this song aloud on 📷 in front of my friends sometime for Café Quarantine Karaoke. 👍🏻 if you agree and find it inspirational when it comes to visiting sick children at least 6️⃣ feet away from them at the same time.
I've seen Tarzan I believe once. I don't watch things that make me super sad that's why I haven't seen Lion King again in so long. But I will get down to a song
