I heard that Hans Zimmer channeled the pain of losing his own father into the Lion King OST. That's why it's so heartfelt. This man put his ALL into making the music.
Mufasas a great father man. Rather than grilling Simba and telling him he's a naughty cub he instead taught him a lesson and reassured him that NO matter what, even if he makes mistakes, his father and all the fathers before him would be watching down on him to guide him.
tell me about it. i love that even tho hes pissed he tries not 2 scare him or make him upset & be gentle. hes just talking 2 simba instead of yelling at him like most parents. he even changes his tone when simbas trying not 2 cry, says hes only brave when he has 2 be & the one thing he was scared of was losing him. its soooo sad that this is their last time 2gether but at least its a good & happy one. r.i.p. mufasa :’( youll always be the best fictional dad ever & always be in our hearts :’( fuck u scar 4 killing ur own brother!!! just fuck u!!!
At first, it's all, oh the nostalgia, the feels! You really appreciate the emotion in the music and then around 1:26 it builds into this sucker punch of goosebumps and spine shivers that just leaves you fit to cry because you can see the scene perfectly.
Yesterday I have been to a concert of the 'The world of Hans Zimmer' Tour in Oberhausen, Germany. I had goosebumps for over two hours. The audience got to know a lot of background information on the different scores. There were behind the scenes interviews. And actually there is a very sad story behind the score of 'The Lion King' which is by the way my favourite score of Hans Zimmer. Hans Zimmer could identify himself with Simba because he as well lost his father at a young age. Now I do understand why this score sounds so extremely emotional. It is a requiem for his father. Thank you Hans Zimmer for your work. You inspire me so much.
Thank you for commenting this, provide so much context. The end of "To Die For" makes pretty obvious that in fact it's a Requiem, like you already pointed.
My Great Grandfather has.. I mean had the same voice, as Mufasa did...Yes..He had, because He is not alive anymore...He even had the same personality as Mufasa, I mean He was wise, polite, brave at the WW2, he even tried to give a helping hand to his "enemies"..He was a true gentleman...When I am listening this melody, it always reminds me of Him, and I wish i could introduce Him to my wife and my future children...He teached me, how to live a life without regrets, and what are the true qualities that matters in our circle of life....Rest In Peace Great Granddad, You are The King Of My Past! :'(
Thank you Mr. Zimmer. Very grateful to have experienced The Lion King in my childhood. Mufasa, in his fatherly love, placed it in Simba's heart to look upwards in order to be guided safely to his destination: Young Simba: Dad? Mufasa: Hmm? Young Simba: We'll always be together right? Mufasa: Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars, the great kings of the past are up there, watching over us. Young Simba: Really? Mufasa: Yes. So whenever you feel alone just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you and so will I. When Mufasa appeared to his son in the clouds, Simba remembered all these words and pondered them in his heart.
1:55 sooo emotional im litteraly crying ;""( so beautiful and amazing i truly love this movie and mufasas quiotes especially at this scene where the track is on
This part makes me cry because I remember when I was looking at the stars just like in this scene. I was remembering the moments of where I was happy with my mother. We were laughing and playing together. Once I asked her: Mother, will you be always with me? She smiled and said yes, and then she hugged me. Few months later my father, my brother and I returned home when we heard my mother screaming. She was rushed to the hospital and then the doctor gave her the wrong injection and then she died. She promised that she would stay with me forever but she didn't. Every day I think of her and how happy I was before...
@@GeneralHeavy I am so sorry. Life is so difficult. I can't believe that everyone has to die one day. We get old but we still have at least one flaw. I can't even count how many times I wished that someone dead returns.
Hanz zimmer is the fucking man. His music is always amazing even though time from inception and he music from 12 years a slave sound a lot the same. I watched Chappie the other day and loved the score, I didn't realise it was hanz till I looked it up. He is a genius
It was summer 1994. My cousins and I at the theater watching this on the big screen. Going home and just roaring on the ride home. Those memories will never be forgotten. This song opened a river of forgotten feelings and emotions.
In 8th grade we did lion king jr as the school play, I was in the technical theater department moving the setpices and one of the only things I remember from then is this pice of music, whenever I have or will listen to this, it will always take me back to the show and my times in middle school, and that’s a gift nothing else could give me
Same man. Watched this when I was 8 and now that I'm 16 I thought I could get over it, until this appeared in my recommendations which got my lying my head at my table and sobbing.
I've got chills... This is so emotional. This movie made me become a passionate, intelligent and very understanding person. This movie is a true emotional and powerful masterpiece!
I've read recently that they are going to make a remake of the Lion King like they did with the Jungle Book. My only condition is to keep the music. If the score and plot will remain the same, then it can't be messed up too badly. This music is talking to your soul... It doesn't matter what you see if you can listen to this.
“Simba, let me tell you something that my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.” “Really?” “Yes. So whenever you feel alone. Just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you…and so will I.”
enfin j est trouvais des français oui je suis d accord un humain rêveur elle a temps d émotion cette musicale moi elle me fais penser a France Portugal final euro 2016
I see this scene for the First time when i was 5 Years old .. now i m 25.. when i listened this Song i wanted to hug my father so hard and ask him if we are Friends . Now.. that's the same. Every time i see this scene my Memories took me to the past and a lot of times make me cry
I think I like this scene and score so much because it shows the relationship between simba and mufasa. I love that, wish I had the same. I feel as if I'm simba and my dad is giving me advice.
This makes me think of my father and I. It makes me think how our relationship is just either fighting or not talking because we have nothing to talk about. I don't remember the last time my dad and I hugged (he has strong aversion to touch) or heard "I love you" (I stopped telling him that because he always thought I try to manipulate him to get me something when I honestly didn't). Now he's in his 50's and abusing alcohol. He drinks so much of strong alcohols and my mom and I are freaking out that his body won't endure it for much longer. I'm afraid I'll lose him and the relationship between us will always be this broken thing.
Before Simba's time, I believe that Mufasa was the last lion king that ruled a kingdom with solemn dignity. The time of Mufasa and well before that was like the golden era of pride rock and its animal inhabitants, but I would imagine that the fights and conflict between animals were more brutal at that time, because rulers must have been more strict, and others challenged their authority, which in return, caused fights and conflict over disagreements. I think Mufasa saved Simba as a way to keep him away from the bad traditions of conflict, but Scar ruined it for them both. It was a very brave and caring sacrifice that Mufasa has made, but he should be most remembered for really loving his son. After his experiences through many dark times and eras, Mufasa must have known about the pain he's felt for living through a dramatic world of fighting for life, and as dangerous as the world around him was, he was worried sick for Simba, and he would never let anything happen to him. My point is that this song right here gives you the true feeling that Mufasa was grieving to think that he would lose Simba, and when he closed his eyes before looking at him, he knew how dishonorable and disgraceful that his world around him has become with conflict, and as much as he loved Simba, it would break his heart to see him gone. Mufasa must have seen many tragedies in his life that he doesn't want to remember, and he regrets living through something like it again, and that's the other reason why this music is so grave and somber.
Even if you're seeing the Lion King for the first time listening to Mufasa's theme you can feel the tragedy coming which makes the scene where Scar kills him hit harder.
how can I explain I am happy today . many years gone then I find this . today 7-5-2019. I don't know who are you but I really my english is not very well but fell my filing that how I am happy today . again and again thanks . love u bro or sis
Watching the lion king didn’t really bring a tear to my eye it was really the soundtrack the music made me cry and also the movie because the scenes were just sad 😢😊
“Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars, the great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.” “Really?” “Yes, so whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you, and so will I.” After watching Mufasa this phrase is even more heartbreaking seeing as how he lost his father when he was so young. He came from nothing, he became the King. Not out of pride or expectations, but out of care, respect and love
Watching this movie, I always think about me and my dad. He's still around of course, but when mufasa dies, it makes me think that eventually, my dad will die and I'll be without him. And I cry every time.

Better than the dumb/grumpy dads these days.
Mufasa: *does it in Lion King The Remakeboot*
Thats what every parent should have, rather than punishing their kid they should teach them a lesson
@Skystormsong Posts I know but, it's something that could inspire parents how to act to their kid if they do something wrong.
tell me about it. i love that even tho hes pissed he tries not 2 scare him or make him upset & be gentle. hes just talking 2 simba instead of yelling at him like most parents. he even changes his tone when simbas trying not 2 cry, says hes only brave when he has 2 be & the one thing he was scared of was losing him. its soooo sad that this is their last time 2gether but at least its a good & happy one. r.i.p. mufasa :’( youll always be the best fictional dad ever & always be in our hearts :’( fuck u scar 4 killing ur own brother!!! just fuck u!!!
What a wonderful childhood. When the drums burst in, you can't keep it dry. So deeply beautiful and full of emotion.
Same... Lion King soundtrack makes me cry everytime i watch the animation...
Naomi i agree with you
When I heard this it's sounds like an old north Korean creepy ice cream truck
The best score of all time hands down
Watching this scene after knowing mufasa will die is the saddest thing on earth...
I agree
+lifeasfloor Yes!!!! :'( I cry every time
stop hurting me with your words and reminders
Right?
I have always to cry
This has to be...HAS TO BE the most beautiful piece of music to have ever been created!!!
Schindler's List has amazing music as well. By John Williams another good composer.

Rest in peace amongst the kings of the past
I think with the songs from the film being so big, this beautiful soundtrack is sometimes overlooked. Get shivers every time
Even without picturing the scene this is one beautiful piece of music. I’m at peace when I listen to this.
Know you will. Mr Jones. RIP
What a powerful piece, bravo Mr Zimmer, you've reduced me to a puddle of tears.

The last moment they have together :(.
Just like Hamlet
STOP! 😭 I’m almost 15 yet I still cry when I hear this melody
The best song I have ever heard, thank u mufasa for your words of wisdom
This is the last scene Simba and Mufasa had before he died I think...
Sammyyam I wish We get to see Simba and Mufasa spend more time together in the Live Action Lion King🙂
True...
@@Priderockstarlion But it will not be very emotional, because their faces dont move.
Yup
When Mufasa help Simba was the last
It was summer 1994. My cousins and I at the theater watching this on the big screen. Going home and just roaring on the ride home. Those memories will never be forgotten. This song opened a river of forgotten feelings and emotions.
my brother & i r twins & we were born in 94. we just turned 28 on tuesday. it came out four days b4 our cousin was born
I always think of this song when someone over 100 passes away. The loss of links to our history and ancestors only known in stories and legend.
Wow Han Zimmer?
I'm not surprised.
that man is a genius.
I actually had no idea he made the soundtrack for Lion King
''This melody breaks my heart out ' ' Simba .. Remember who you are '
What a wonderful childhood we had ❤️
Much better then the new one (wich i am not a hater of, but that's true)
In 8th grade we did lion king jr as the school play, I was in the technical theater department moving the setpices and one of the only things I remember from then is this pice of music, whenever I have or will listen to this, it will always take me back to the show and my times in middle school, and that’s a gift nothing else could give me
2018 and still going strong..this is timeless
hello from the end of 2021
2022 and this still hitting different
this was one of the parts of the move that maked me cry, the lion king is the best disney films of all times
Makes me cry every single time.... Epic, powerfull and sad, all at once
I think it is physically impossible to listen to this without getting goose bumps
I'm at my 16's and I still crying with this theme, I always remember that movie night with my father
Same man. Watched this when I was 8 and now that I'm 16 I thought I could get over it, until this appeared in my recommendations which got my lying my head at my table and sobbing.

I see this scene for the First time when i was 5 Years old .. now i m 25.. when i listened this Song i wanted to hug my father so hard and ask him if we are Friends . Now.. that's the same. Every time i see this scene my Memories took me to the past and a lot of times make me cry
1:10 and I’m crying :( I will never get over Mufasa’s death.
I think I like this scene and score so much because it shows the relationship between simba and mufasa. I love that, wish I had the same. I feel as if I'm simba and my dad is giving me advice.
That's the kind of Music that fits a scenario where the Parent apologizes to their kids
1:20 THE EPICNESS!!
Makes you cry no matter your age

I'm afraid I'll lose him and the relationship between us will always be this broken thing.
What a poor soul you are. I know it's been some time now, and you probably won't reply, but how are things now between you and your dad?
I remember this scene and I'm still crying 😢.

The goosebumps which this piece sends every single time is utterly unmatched... 😭😭😭
This song gives me chills.
Everytime, when I hear this song, I need to cry so much..this is amaizing, how feelings has it at me
By the scene as his dad did die,I was crying the most times.
Even if you're seeing the Lion King for the first time listening to Mufasa's theme you can feel the tragedy coming which makes the scene where Scar kills him hit harder.

The Lion King soundtrack creates unique emotions. I have never heard something that moved me like this piece of art.
I cry everytime when i heard this song...
It hurts a lot hear at this again un the cinema while you see Simba and Mufasa playing... Knowing what is going to happen. :(
how can I explain I am happy today . many years gone
then I find this . today 7-5-2019. I don't know who are you but I really

Watching the lion king didn’t really bring a tear to my eye it was really the soundtrack the music made me cry and also the movie because the scenes were just sad 😢😊

God thank you I know Hans Zimmer' s music, I wish everybody know his music 😍

Watching this movie, I always think about me and my dad. He's still around of course, but when mufasa dies, it makes me think that eventually, my dad will die and I'll be without him. And I cry every time.
Not to be dark but you could always die before him as well. Life is uncertain.
Just knowing that this is the last scene between Simba and Mufasa before he died just makes me cry!
oh man this is the sad side of the force
Omg you Looks like Michael Jackson
It is Michael Jackson you idiot lmao
The best Soundtrack ever 👍
"Thanks, Sitka. If it weren't for you, I would've never met Kenai." Hits the same.
