“When destiny calls you, you must be strongI may not be with youBut you got to hold onThey’ll see in time, I knowWe’ll show them together

‘Cause you’ll be in my heartBelieve me, you’ll be in my heartI’ll be there from this day onNow and forevermore”

~Tarzan (1999)~

Tarzan is a story about the meaning of family, self-discovery, and individualism. Disney released this movie in 1999 and it’s still a poignant and emotional film. The soundtrack reflects that in its lyrics and melody.

Disney’s Tarzan Soundtrack

Tony Goldwyn plays the voice of Tarzan, and Minnie Driver voices Jane. Unlike in many other Disney movies, the main characters don’t sing. With the exception of the song “Trashin’ the Camp,” most of the songs are background songs and aren’t sung by the characters. Instead, the songs are about them and their journey.

The man behind the Tarzan soundtrack is Phil Collins. He was the main guy throughout the film, arranging, composing, and singing the songs. Other musicians who also contributed to the soundtrack include Mark Mancina, Glenn Close, Rosie O’Donnell, and Paul Bogaev. Together, they provided a gorgeous soundtrack with Phil Collins’s voice throughout. Phil Collins brings some deep and heavy emotions into the lyrics and the movie itself.

The soundtrack includes the songs “Two Worlds”, “You’ll Be In My Heart”, “Son of Man”, “Trashin’ the Camp”,  and finally “Strangers like me”. All of them seem to be pretty popular as covers though, “You’ll Be In My Heart” appears to be slightly more popular. Below is a list of fantastic covers of Phil Collins’s “You’ll Be In My Heart.” There are far more available on YouTube. I urge you to check out those ones as well.

Dan Vasc‘s vocal cover is gorgeous and channels the emotion and serenity of the original.

Luna covers Phil Collins’ song in Italian. Her beautiful voice is full of emotion, allowing it to carry into the entire feel of the song.

Kazukanda provides another awesome acoustic cover that allows his voice to be the central focus. The listener can focus on the lyrics and the emotions they portray.

Sinnyw789 doesn’t change any of the song’s vocals, keeping Phil Collins’ phenomenal voice while covering it instrumentally. His drum cover is energetic and awesome. Together, it encourages listeners to tear up and dance.

There’s something about Nick Pitera‘s voice that makes me melt. His voice is simply phenomenal in this cover.

Keifer Wiley‘s voice is endlessly sweet and soft, which perfectly complements the original song’s melody.

Peter Hollens and Bryan Lanning create a fantastic a capella cover using just their gorgeous voices.
