Enchanted Soundtrack – Ever Ever After [HQ]

Created for the Disney film Enchanted, this song celebrates the importance of holding on to dreams and hope.

Carrie Underwood’s vocals resonate over a melody that blends pop and country elements.

Released in November 2007, the track was used over the film’s end credits, and a music video was also produced.

Set in New York City, the video’s striking visuals combine animation and live action.

It’s perfect as wedding background music, and it would be a lovely gift to bless the bride and groom.

The lyrics, filled with hope for a happy future, are sure to heighten anticipation for the couple’s new life together.

Flynn WantedAlan Menken26rank/position

Flynn Wanted (From “Tangled”/Score)

This plays during the scene where Flynn Rider, a thief, is fleeing after stealing the royal tiara.

It becomes an important moment where he meets Maximus, the horse who is among the soldiers chasing him.

After a funny sequence where a man and a horse desperately tussle over the tiara, he arrives at the tower where Rapunzel lives.

Friend Like MeAlan Menken27rank/position

Friend Like Me (Live-Action Aladdin)

While silky melodies reminiscent of smooth jazz may seem like the trumpet’s main allure, that’s not all there is.

Swing jazz is also a great genre for appreciating the instrument’s charm.

“Friend Like Me,” which appears in the Disney film Aladdin, is arranged as a musical-style swing jazz number.

The powerful orchestra and Koichi Yamadera’s vocals in the role of Genie are a perfect match.

Go The DistanceAlan Menken28rank/position

Go The Distance – Hercules Soundtrack | One Voice Children’s Choir Cover (Official Music Video)

Go the Distance is a song that’s well-loved as the theme for Disney’s Hercules.

It’s a work by Michael Bolton, who has produced many classic ballads.

Set to a gentle melody, it sings of the protagonist expanding his hopes for the future.

Since it’s quite slow and has a steady tempo, it seems relatively easy to sing.
