You'll Be In My Heart - Celtic Woman (Originally from Tarzan)

You'll Be In My Heart - Celtic Woman

This song is originally by Phil Collins for Disney's Tarzan however this lullaby style version by the group Celtic Woman is so amazingly pure and heart warming I can't help but prefer it to the original.

The members of Celtic Woman all have beautiful voices and they make this song their own, all the while keeping aspects of the original that are recognisable to us. Gone is the upbeat guitar and other accompaniments, instead the first verse and chorus have almost no music in them, giving focus to the main singer. Then the drums start in that recognisable beat and things pick up from there.

Celtic Woman have a lot of songs out there, all done with amazing vocals and music. Go check them out even if it's not your usual style of music. The songs are very catchy.

Let It Go - Frozen - Idina Menzel

So. Unless you've been hiding......well I don't think there's anywhere you could have escaped the Frozen fever that gripped the world and still holds a tight grip on us.

Let It Go - Idina Menzel (Frozen)

The original version is stunning and I think just about everyone knows the lyrics - I know my whole family does, even my Nan that hasn't even seen the film (I know - my son is horrified by that fact too).

Idina (and the writers) have given us a song that's joined a long list of unforgettable Disney anthems. However I know I'm not alone in trawling YouTube for the numerous covers that have been done. There are dozens of them, with millions of hits on most of them - and I'm totally addicted to them.

This sort of classifies of a Song On Repeat even if it's by different artists.

You'll most likely have your own favourite cover(s) but I'm going to list a few of mine in no particular order. Please go check out these amazing singers if you haven't already heard their renditions.

Jannina put a slight spin on the song and really makes it her own. She has other vids on YouTube that are well worth watching as well.

Caleb Hyles - oh my god. How this man is not on Broadway I'll never know. He has a powerful voice and is an amazing singer. Caleb's version is exactly what you would expect if Elsa had been a guy. He has other Disney song covers on his channel and some other amazing songs as well.
I'm gushing about him a bit but I don't care. Seriously. Check him out already.

Alex Boye gives an Africanised version featuring the One Voice Children's Choir and with Lexi Walker doing main vocals. Lexi has a strong and beautiful voice and she fits perfectly with the choral backing. The video is nice to watch as well - Alex really puts a lot into his vids.

There are others that I also love but these three are my top ones. Check them out and see if you love them just as much.
