Lions in Love - Simba's run off, gained a couple pals. Nala is his childhood friend. When sh*t hits the fan back home, she seeks him out. Then we get this tune, and it isn't even 1967. Do you find there are certain things that make you "feel" the love?

On stage - 1997 saw the stage version of Lion King, with Julie Taymor the mastermind behind the look. How to translate animals into live actors? The result works well and visually incredible. Fave tune of mine that reminds me of my passed father. Do you have songs that remind you of loved ones no longer about? Let us know if you like.
