A hugely talented group of vocalists, Anthem Lights, have turned in an awe-inspiring and sublime performance of a tune from a beloved Disney film.
Some songs have become so linked with the films they appeared in that you can’t help but think of those motion pictures when hearing those tunes. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” will forever be connected to Dorothy, Toto and “The Wizard of Oz.” No one can listen to “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees without picturing John Travolta strutting down the street in “Saturday Night Fever.”
Similarly, hearing “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” originally written and performed by Randy Newman, will immediately bring to mind images of Buzz, Woody and the rest of the gang from the “Toy Story” films. That delightful, upbeat and catchy tune perfectly captures the feeling of the movies about friendship and love.
In a clip posted on YouTube, the guys of Anthem Lights put their considerable musical talents on full display. They provided their take on the classic song from the “Toy Story" film, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
“You’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
If you’ve got troubles, I’ve got ‘em too
There’s isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for you”
Once again, like every other song and video the guys put out, they nail this song. They demonstrate the strength of their voices and their dazzling harmonies. Their performance of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” can be listened to repeatedly and you’ll never become tired of it.
Also, as soon as they start singing, you’re immediately reminded of Andy’s many toys and will fondly remember their adventures across the four memorable films.
Anthem Lights’ performance is one that Buzz, Woody, Rex, Slinky Dog and even the little green Army men will appreciate.
Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
