As a 30 year old male former Marine, unashamedly, this song makes me cry. Am I overemotional? Is it nostalgia, sadness for the lyrics, powerful sounds, or all of it together? I wonder.
I am such a hateful person, I want to do such unspeakable things but, I admit after hearing this again I can not be hateful. I understand you fully. You are not less a man for feeling this way american.
Judy Kuhn is so underrated. She MADE this song No matter how beautiful Alan's music or Stephen's lyrics, if you don't have a good vocalist, your song won't stand a chance Just giving credit where credit is due, to a lovely lady with the magic voice
i bought the cassette in 1999. now i am 39 and came back to reflect it since my daughter love it. p.s. this "color of wind" is in the mid of album. the actual end title version "color of wind" is by Vanissa. banned here. but you can still find it in ytb
Yes! Major goosebumps all over my body!! Such an incredible feeling!! It’s a song about how we are all connected to the trees, the wind, the animals, we must listen to this song and follow it! Teach it to our children
I'm like half-persian and you know what? For a long time, people have mistaken people like me for terrorists. Well, some of us Christians mistaken that we aren't Christians and are Muslim. But at my Christian church, we sing hymns with so much passion we are reduced to tears in the end; we worship our own God the same way we do. Our food and culture(even though I my family doesn't practice most of it) is also exemplary if people gave a chance. Not all of us are evil.
I had this song stuck in my head and decided to look it up... I miss my childhood, I'd do anything to put on oversized shoes, and a princess dress, running around the living room giggling with my dad chasing. Even though I now know he always let me win. O my gosh, i want that back so bad, mommy and daddy and family, and my castle 1 million feet tall. A pool that was my ocean. A mermaid, that's it, what I miss. Never wanting to comet the surface. Not getting yelled at for a messy room. I miss th
Really?!? That's awesome! There were other movies released in 1995 like Toy Story, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, and Batman Forever!
I have fond memories of this song as a kid. Going to a caravan park and singing for my family when I was likely 5 or something like that. It always brings a smile to my face.
so many years have passed since i last heard this song as a child and i still remember it verbatim. i sang this song more than i did songs from other disney films. and trust me, watching disney films as a child WAS my life.
Historically innaccurate or not, for me Pocahontas is still the ultimate Disney princess: she conjured the power/beauty of nature, and that's everything
When I was a kid, I thought she was saying "whether we are white, or *proper* skinned". It always seemed like such a strange and uncomfortable line to give the protagonist, until I realised she was saying *copper* skinned. That makes so much more sense.
@yaysonic Actually, Simba only had a few friends that he would eat, and they basically raised him. Lion cubs who are raised by people wouldn't eat them either. So that's not as big of a stretch as you'd think. Remember a tiger once adopted piglets. This however historically inaccurate, does show a good sense of the interactions of the English and Native Americans. Honestly the only major inaccuracy is Pocahontas's age and romantic attachment to John. She did save his life from execution.
@DDDB13 she was I think anywhere between 9 and 12. She was not romantically involved with him. She did however save his life in the same way she did in the movie. Historically she married John Rolf like in the sequel.
Disney knew this song was so good that it alone was the trailer for the movie. I used to pop in the Lion King VHS, and when that trailer would come up, I'd just let the entire song play out before fast forwarding the rest of the commercials...
the government should hear this. they should feel like shit about how we treat people that are SUPPOSEDLY so different from us when they hear this song.
This movie has to be taken as historical fiction... otherwise it's terrible. In actual history, Pocahontas saving John Smith was all a set-up to earn the settler's trust and alliance. They had used the same mechanism for other Indian tribes with success. John Smith was an egotistical man who didn't deserve all the credit he got, but still, he was influential to history.
It's not a bad thing to have an imagination and watch this movie without hyper analyzing it. Kids only get to be kids for so long; and teaching them racial understanding rather than the sad truth doesn't hurt either. Maybe kids learn a lesson from a movie like this... not a historical lesson but one about being a better person. In nature Simba would kill all his friends, but I can stretch my imagination and still enjoy The Lion King. Lighten up guys.
Pocahontas's physical appearance 1.Tall 2.Slender 3.Beautiful 4.Practically Naked 5.Long beautiful elegant black hair that goes down to her butt 6.Extremely tan skin 7.Brown eyes 8.Ruby red lips 9.Off the shoulder yellow Native American dress that goes down to her knees 10.Bright blue Native American necklace 11.Red Native tattoo on her right bicep 12.Commando/No underwear 13.Barefeet
one of the forgotten princesses in my opinion. Pocahontas deserves much more marketing than she receives. Disney you should give her more attention!!! She is an awesome princess.
In these songs she basically overcomes racism saying “Only people who are people that think and look like you” and the “Copper or white skin” and teaches him of her culture and beliefs
When I have children I will raise them on Disney movies like Bambi, Pocahontas, The Aristrocats, ect, ect and audio book classics such as Tolkeins work and C.S. Lewis' and others. They'll know the real meaning of a 'classic'.
When I hear Disney songs from my childhood, I turn into one big goosebump and I feel like crying. In a good way tho! Disney made me the person I am today. I learned to be a good person (thanks to my parrents ofc) but also thanks to lion king, pocahontas, the little mermaid and so on so on! Thank you Walt Disney for giving me and so many other children from the 90's a great experience! Our childhoods can never be forgotten!
I was 7 years old and I never forget when I saw Pocahontas Trailer in my VHS's The Lion King, Oh my lord! This track makes me feel emotional and tears down.
Man... I love being a 90's kid! I have to admit that I still play my Disney movies on VHS when I come home from work and school, and I STILL know all the lyrics to my favorite songs :)
The waterfall Pocahontas jumps down is supplied by my tears for the beauty of this song.
❤❤🎉🎉

based pfp even if the series got super sloppy
makes me cry too
Pocahontas had a killer soundtrack dude, and I’m Army field artillery.
im crying because of nostalgia, the beautiful music and the trueness of Pocahontas' words
Disney songs are just beautiful! They are not just kids movies. I'll be 60 and I'll still watch them and get enchanted while watching them ^3^
Same here. :)
Same fam or fellow ARMY ^^
Kookie Gives Me Diabetes that is so sweet😊
I've met Stephen Schwartz. He took a picture with the cast of a show I was in and I tripped and he caught me and said "Are you alright?" Made my day.
I really miss Disney's master pieces like this...
Judy Kuhn is so underrated. She MADE this song
No matter how beautiful Alan's music or Stephen's lyrics, if you don't have a good vocalist, your song won't stand a chance
Just giving credit where credit is due, to a lovely lady with the magic voice
This song is very relevant to everything going on in the world right now. We can learn from this woman
Did this for second grade talent show in 97, what's up?!
Love this song! So beautiful!
One of the days Disney isn't gonna be Disney. It hardly is now. :(
This song helped me broaden my singing horizon and become better at singing on a wider scale. And will always be part of my childhood!
My 1994-VHS still works too, amazing! It is a Panasonic. I bought another one in 2001 and it only lasted for 4 years.
This movie was released in the year, 1995, when I was born!
Love both song and the singer's voice.
The Chorus gave me chills, and I realized this song was the song.
Me too. Born in 1982... grew up with TLM, BATB, Aladdin, TLK, and Poca during my kiddie to early teens. Best time!
I'm just gonna take a moment to cry because we're so damned
not if anything to say about it we have --322
this comment was ahead of its time
LOOK WHERE WE'RE AT
This song always cheers me up when I'm down!
She has the most beautiful voice! X
The lyrics in this piece are amazing and will always enthrall me. Very touching.
i bought the cassette in 1999. now i am 39 and came back to reflect it since my daughter love it. p.s. this "color of wind" is in the mid of album. the actual end title version "color of wind" is by Vanissa. banned here. but you can still find it in ytb
Gives you goosebumps don't it. This is my absolute favorite Disney song
read this comment while having goosebumps
Yes! Major goosebumps all over my body!! Such an incredible feeling!! It’s a song about how we are all connected to the trees, the wind, the animals, we must listen to this song and follow it! Teach it to our children
I got many favorites this being one of them too it does give goosebumps
Estas si eran buenas películas ... Amo pocahontas
this makes me cry every single time i wish disney still had movies like this
I'm like half-persian and you know what? For a long time, people have mistaken people like me for terrorists. Well, some of us Christians mistaken that we aren't Christians and are Muslim.

greatest Disney song of all time
This is just an incredible song. I don't even have words to describe how moving it is

This song is faultless. Absolute perfection.
Really?!? That's awesome! There were other movies released in 1995 like Toy Story, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, and Batman Forever!
I have fond memories of this song as a kid. Going to a caravan park and singing for my family when I was likely 5 or something like that. It always brings a smile to my face.
When she says we r alk connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends reminded me of the lion king!! Circle of life!!
so many years have passed since i last heard this song as a child and i still remember it verbatim. i sang this song more than i did songs from other disney films. and trust me, watching disney films as a child WAS my life.
This song brings back my memories

whether you are white or copper skin
Tricia D “copper skin” ...
When I was a kid, I thought she was saying "whether we are white, or *proper* skinned". It always seemed like such a strange and uncomfortable line to give the protagonist, until I realised she was saying *copper* skinned. That makes so much more sense.
lucky your VHS still works, mine stopped working and I dunno where to get a new one

Yooo this songwriting is better than any mumble rapper lmao
It's Judy Kuhn. Her voice is actually brilliant, as is Lea Salonga's. :D
That's called nostalgia.
Dont tell my hood homies I have this in my play list still in 2020.
@ShadowSkyX
I like the part where it says "you think you own whatever of land you land on" lol!
Good for you! :)
I second that
2:33 omg omg goosebumps everywhere!!...
CHILLS when she sings "how high does the sycamore grow"
@DDDB13 she was I think anywhere between 9 and 12. She was not romantically involved with him. She did however save his life in the same way she did in the movie. Historically she married John Rolf like in the sequel.
Vanessa Williams does an amazing cover of this song.
Votes to make this our national anthem.
Disney knew this song was so good that it alone was the trailer for the movie. I used to pop in the Lion King VHS, and when that trailer would come up, I'd just let the entire song play out before fast forwarding the rest of the commercials...
...........EPIC.........*serious face*
magical
the government should hear this. they should feel like shit about how we treat people that are SUPPOSEDLY so different from us when they hear this song.
Why does this remind me of Simon from Lord Of The Flies? XD
time to rethink life
this is for the us leev the world alone
I used to sing this song word from word
@ashlee22559 My pleasure :) Thanks a lot for saying so
This movie has to be taken as historical fiction... otherwise it's terrible.
In actual history, Pocahontas saving John Smith was all a set-up to earn the settler's trust and alliance. They had used the same mechanism for other Indian tribes with success. John Smith was an egotistical man who didn't deserve all the credit he got, but still, he was influential to history.
I heard in the biography project of Pocahontas that she & John Smith weren't in love for real.
Opening To Pocahontas 1997 VHS
Lessons. If you learn nothing from this song, you need to go back to Virginia Company. XD
It's not a bad thing to have an imagination and watch this movie without hyper analyzing it. Kids only get to be kids for so long; and teaching them racial understanding rather than the sad truth doesn't hurt either.

as you should i actually still have the aristocats on VHS in my closet lady and the tramp and the lion king too
@Kaze42 it was a joke...but yeah lol
people who came to America were native english speakers also ;)
I feel like crying...
Who is still here in 2018?
❤❤❤
She is a savage a badass savage
badass yes, but not a savage.
Pocahontas's physical appearance

This song is incredible but I have to ask; what the hell does 'paint with all the colours of wind' mean? Great song, one weird line.
omfg I wish I would rather marry a sexy native american warrior than a disney prince from those days.
@CaptainTia me too!!
Just how does one paint with all the colours of the wind?
The wind literally has no color. It's transparent 😂
@jankinsfina The VHS is only 1 dollar at goodwill.
Don’t mind me, just getting my time 1:16
@oxanabananaxo Shrek is a Dreamworks movie...
one of the forgotten princesses in my opinion. Pocahontas deserves much more marketing than she receives. Disney you should give her more attention!!! She is an awesome princess.
She's a hero, not a princess.!!.
Victoria. .Tessin. She’s both, same with Mulan
In these songs she basically overcomes racism saying “Only people who are people that think and look like you” and the “Copper or white skin” and teaches him of her culture and beliefs
Love it
Anyone else get chills whenever they listen to this song?
The good kind yes.
Ever since I first saw the movie as a kid 💜
Who they?
..@ n h. Nnñ
that's the ancestors touching you
When I have children I will raise them on Disney movies like Bambi, Pocahontas, The Aristrocats, ect, ect and audio book classics such as Tolkeins work and C.S. Lewis' and others.
They'll know the real meaning of a 'classic'.
