My favorite English song is "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow". This song, with a catchy melody that repeats the title, makes me feel nostalgic.
This song is the main theme song for the "Carrousel of Progress" attraction at the Magic Kingdom, a Disney park in Florida.
This song was written by Disney Legends Sherman Bros. They have also written songs for It's a Small World, Tiki Room, and in movies, Mary Poppins and Winnie the Pooh.
This song is said to be about Walt Disney, the Dreamer.
When you dream and act, the future will be exactly as you imagine it. And the near future is tomorrow. In other words, it is a double meaning of "the future is beyond Dream."
But ironically, when guests see this attraction, they think. "Now is the best time."
The arranged this song is also used in Disneyland's Tomorrowland. Please listen to it when you go there!
-Lyrics (I'll paste all the lyrics as they are short)
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of every day
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
And tomorrow's just a dream away
Man has a dream and that's the star
He follows his dream with mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true for you and me
So there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of every day
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Just a dream away
I also like the promise of tomorrow and world full of true progress. If only Walt Disney were still alive, imagine what it could be.
ReplyDeleteIf Walt had lived, many attractions would have been built that could have been used as textbooks, not relying on Disney movies.
DeleteBut the company's finances would have been hard pressed.
