My wishMura Toshihide / Ishimaru Kanji
This is an insert song from Disney’s feature-length animated classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
It portrays Quasimodo, the protagonist with a kind heart despite his unattractive appearance, and his yearning for the outside world after being raised in near confinement.
“I want to spend time under the sun like everyone else,” “I want to take a walk along the river at the start of the day, excited for what’s ahead.” Things that are ordinary for most people are unimaginably joyful and out of reach for Quasimodo.
It’s a song whose lyrics alone can break your heart.

This arrangement of “Marnie,” used in the scene on the small boat that connected the two, is also a wonderful theme song—gentle and unhurried, yet imbued with a sense of mystery.
