TTT - The Lion King
It’s been a while since I joined Three Tunes Tuesday and I didn’t have it in mind to join today but there I was, holed up in my room, doing all that phone stuff, when my little sisters barged into the room complaining about what I just said- being holed up in my room. Said quite a lot of things about me being the introverted sister that feels too cool to hang out with the rest of the family.
Very accusatory words, I must say and I proceeded to assure them that it wasn’t like that at all but of course, the little “angels” knew I’d say that, and so started in their emotional blackmail to prove that I wasn’t, in fact, a negligent, hard-hearted sister and all of that. Long story short, three minutes later, I found myself in the living room, watching The Lion King, both parts one and two, with them.
I won’t lie, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a whole lot. Even shed a tear or two(which shouldn’t surprise anyone since most people know that my tear glands are usually in permanent overdrive). And so, as a last-minute decision, I decided to use three of the wonderful tracks that were used there. I liked everyone, if I’m being honest, even the one the villains sang but for this, three will suffice.
But before that, I’ll quote the originator of this wonderful initiative @ablaze. So if you want to know more about #ttt, there you go:
Every Tuesday I’m going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I’ll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It’ll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You’ll also be in with a chance of winning the prize – more on that later.
You can also check out his recent post and support him as well.
Moving on, the first track of today as some have guessed is :
We Are One
This song by Angèlique Kidjo and fine-tuned to meet the theme of the movie is beautiful for a lot of reasons. The emotions were raw and palpable and laced with so much love. Acceptance of who you are and the knowledge of the warmth and support of whoever it is that you call your family.
I looked at my sisters as they sat, lost in the sweetness of the music, and smiled. “My family” is all I muttered.
Can’t You Feel The Love Tonight
Simba and Nala, love between childhood best friends that transcended into something more sweet and poignant and not so childish anymore. I loved that part a lot because you know, who wouldn’t and also because it reminds me of a lot. A lot that made me smile so hard, my sisters paused the movie and said that I should relax whatever was in my mind because it wasn’t that deep. The little scoundrels.
Love Will Find A Way
This soulful song by Kenny Lattimore was the clincher. I had to remove my glasses cause I practically soaked it up with my tears. It says a lot, that song. And it brought to my mind many things. The kind of love that is so rare to find these days. The love that isn’t talked about enough. Love that will always find a way. I can feel my eyes brimming again so I’ll just let you listen and shut up.
I really hope you enjoyed these songs or at least resonated with them in any way. Please, let me know your thoughts in the comments.❤️

Yea, sure!
Angèlique Kidjo is a great African multiple Grammy award winner. Also, the "We are one" gives the African Tunes vibes, you know?
That's true.... I'll do well to use the tag. Thank you for the support.🌺
WHAT A CUTE POST OMGOSHHHHH
What do they know 😭😂
I get DOWN to the old disney songs. Bare necessities (from jungle book) and I'll make a man out of you (from Mulan) are those bangers. The second one I wish wasn't so fire, you can't play that song if a guy is around, they get all 👀...
Bro this isn't about you, it's about defeating the Huns!! Sheesh.
Er, thanks for the wholesome blast! 🤣🤗
Beats me really. Heard the Hive thrift is well in order. I could offer them up for sale. What do you think @grindan? Lol.
Tell me about it. I made a mental note not to. You know how predictably unpredictable those individuals get.😅
I'm not sure if I defeated them or they defeated me but it was nice all in all. I'm so happy that you enjoyed this little post of mine.🤗💞
OmG!!! You know what you reminded me now 😂😂😂
It's nice hearing these wonderful songs again... It was a fun movie back in the days... Cool entry

Be behaving like last born🤣
Nice collections.
I'm not sure if I paid attention to the Soundtracks of that movie 🤔
I'm the last born in my mind o.😂
And no, I didn't expect you to pay attention to the sound tracks. Guys aren't usually attentive of things like that. No offense.
No lies. Paying attention to soundtracks sounds so girlie 😄
Awwwn.
Men are their perpetual obliviousness and myopia. Typical. @deraaa come and see this man.
Lol🤣.
It's just few men that have time to bring out soundtrack on movies...and these people are majorly Ajebos 🤧
Are you kidding me? My goodness!!!😂😂I feel embarrassed right now🤧sorry @jhymi. You seem to have your hands full on this one!
It's alright. Men don't ever disappoint us do they?
At all. It's like they are born to be that way. Except Daddy of course...
Just saw. I am not the least disappointed. It is what men do after all.
The Lion king was one of my favorite cartoons then and it still is, i was wondering if it wad still in the market, wow guess old things never died, i watched this cartoon when i was 8 years old, its so amazing to see and here the musics again have always loved the songs. Say were can i download the full cartoon would love to watch it again
Oh as for me, my Dad bought CDs for the little girls. That's how I got to watch them. I don't know any site you can get both of them for but maybe if you can, you can step into CD store maybe? It has many other cartoons and you could just get in touch with that inner child for a moment.
hmmmm well i'll give it a try, will also search online if i'll see anything. its great to view the past you for a bit
The past could be a wonderful and scary place to venture into at times but I'm glad I found a happy one to share.🤗
All cartoons are always happy past to share, experiences however are the scary ones and i dare not venture into those
JESUS!!! WHAT IS THIS? Jhymi our thinking is too uncanny!! I swear to God. I nearly shared these songs and then I love these songs!! We are one is one of my favorites but that Love will find way is everything. And now I am the one crying. I need to watch these again. I have missed them so much!!! So much!
My dear watch it ....
Parts one and two. Magical all of them.🥺
And as for the soulmatery, I stopped trying to understand it long ago.
My god the pair of you in tears, you two really are alike @deraaa @jhymi
Yep. You can deal old man
👍
These are all great songs. It was as if I was watching the lion king over again as I was listening to these songs.
Awesome post👍
Thank you. I'm glad you liked them. And it's nice to meet you as well @davidbright 🌺

Yes, it is, friend.
I also have watched The Lion King several times. I don't feel bored watching it again and again. Those songs are really very cute and give me a good vibe when I listen to those songs you shared here.
Yeah, you never truly get tired. I'm glad so many people share the same feelings of love with these songs. So nice to have you stop by.
