There's something about the violin that takes a song and makes it even more timeless than it may have been previously. I'd say that "Circle of Life" is one of the most iconic Disney songs. Especially among people like me who remember when The Lion King first came out. Still one of my favorite Disney movies and the musical version is easily one of my favorite musicals. Seeing the movie is one thing; watching it play out onstage is quite another. That's one of those shows that I'll always want to see if an opportunity to do so comes up.
Of course, this post isn't about the musical or even the movie. It's about an iconic Disney song being beautifully played on violin. Taylor Davis is so talented and she manages to make songs her own while staying true to the original.
So here it is. Her take on "Circle of Life".
Taylor's another one who can translate her feelings into whatever piece she's playing. You feel it as much as you hear it when she plays. It's so beautifully done. The scenery is perfect, as is her outfit - perfectly complements the song. I actually don't think I'd seen this until I started prepping for this month of Disney and I'm so happy I came across it. Featuring it was a no brainer for me. I feel like I've spent a lot of time talking about how much I dislike when musicians are more concerned with showing attitude than they are with connecting with a piece. Or, heaven forbid, actually enjoying themselves when they play.
Watching Taylor's videos, it's abundantly clear that she loves playing the violin. It's like the violin is more of an extension of herself as opposed to just something she can play well. There is a difference. You can hear it. Musicians like her are a joy to watch. They really are. Taylor's YouTube will be linked below, along with the rest of her social media, and I strongly recommend checking out the other videos on her channel. There's all sorts of gems to be discovered on there. A few other Disney songs, songs from movies and TV shows, anime and even some original pieces. I haven't been disappointed by a video of hers yet and I look forward to watching any I've missed, because I know there's several. She has a lot of content on there! So definitely be sure to see what else she's done and I can't stress this next point enough: if you like something, share it on your socials. It truly is one of the best ways to support an artist. And of course, buying the music is always great too.
