My grandmother's name literally means lioness, and she was the one who took care of me all my childhood, I want to get a tattoo related to this song one day, as a homage :3

There's NO way this song could be done better. *enter Jonathan Young* ...I was wrong, and I'm okay with that.

My little brother passed away at age 13 he loved Lion king as much as I did and everytime I listen to this song I think of him and tear up. Thank you Jonathan for what yo do :")

Has he done Not One of Us as metal cover? Or My lullaby?

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS NOBODY EVER RECOGNIZES THE LION KING 2 AND IT'S MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DISNEY MOVIE. Great cover!!

8 years ago today my grandfather died and this song always gives me hope that he is still with me. I haven't wanted to listen to this song in years and hearing you sing it helps me remember him. Thank you for helping me remember him and for never forgetting that he is still with me 😢😌

THIS MAN DESERVES MORE VIEWS. THIS IS GREAT.

Can I request a rock/metal cover of My Lullaby, as originally sung by Zira in Lion King 2? You'd probably make it hellish and badass

Those high notes are insane!!! I'm a Lion King Broadway purest, and you do this song some incredible justice.

Pride Rock just became Prog Rock

Badass cover for one of the most meaningful songs by Disney.

This is so good it physically hurts

Saw the title. Jaw dropped. listened. chills. body convolutions. I love you.

what if you covered Not one of Us from lion king 2? (just a minor idea)

I feel like I could get away with singing this at a church. So good!

When my dad passed almost 2 years ago that song was the first that came to my mind... and every time I listened to it I became sad. But your version of the song is really up - lifting. great job.

Can we just point out how talented the man is? Not just at singing, but at wearing t-shirts to fit the song.

I'd love to hear your version of can you feel the love tonight

YOU COVERED A SONG FROM LION KING 2! THIS IS MY FAVORITE DISNEY SEQUEL EVER!!! I'M SO HAPPY!! This is really good holy sh*t.

I listened to this song so much when I was younger...I like that you went with a darker feel for the first part, and I smiled so hard when it got to the main part. Always hitting me in the nostalgia feels, time to go buy this album

Damn dude, wish it wasn't 7am so i could blast this shit xD

If I didn't know that they were talking about Mufasa, I'd assume this was a Christian song.

This has something magically dark about it amazing job

This is so emotional. This honestly makes me cry every time I hear this version. I will never not enjoy the hell out of this song. Your Disney covers are amazing

please do Not One Of Us and My Lullaby from this same movie, you'd make them even more amazing

Oh my goodness this is my favourite Disney song!!! So pleased someone has finally done a rock version to this and can I just say that this is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you sooooo much :-)

I've listened to this at least 10 times in a row, my great grandmother who was the eldest of my family recently passed away, as in yesterday. when I am finally a mother I will be singing this to my child. I'm a practicing witch and believe in that the energy of one's soul doesn't die, it simply surrounds us. thank you so much for this, I had almost forgot how much I love this song.

Oh man, how did I just now discover this? This was my favorite song off the "Rhythm of the Pride Lands" album back when the first Lion King came out, and I was pretty stoked to hear it was in LK2. Amazing cover, man, thanks for this!

You should perform Not One of Us, also from Lion King 2. That song is heart breaking

Someone please call the ambulance... I think I just got an heartattac. THIS IS YOUR BEST DISNEY COVER so far ^^ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I love it sooooooooooo fucking much!!!!

This...this right here is one of the most magnificent covers I have ever heard. How you took an already brilliant song and turned it's awesomeness up is beyond me, I didn't think it was possible. Fantastic work!

Awesome! I adore your rock Disney covers! I'd LOVE to hear you do 'we are one' from Lion King 2 too :)

Omg, this was incredibly beautiful and moving! It’s hard to outdo a Disney original, but I think you just might have done it. Wow... ❤️

Listening to this, and Be Prepared, I've really come to love your deep voice. Have you ever thought about doing covers from Queen of the Damned soundtrack???

oH my lord in heaven. the next time i get paid i am spending all of my money on your new CD, bruh. this cover is perfect in every way and gave me chills.

This is by far my favorite cover you have done!

The beginning was pretty awesome. Then it just kept getting better. You never disappoint!

It became my favourite Disney cover of you! Loving it!

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Night And the spirit of life Calling (Oh, oh, iyo) Mamela (Oh, oh, iyo) Ubukhosi bo khokho We ndodana ye sizwe sonke Wait There's no mountain too great Hear these words and have faith (Oh, oh, iyo) Oh (Oh, oh, iyo) Have faith He lives in you He lives in me He watches over Everything we see Into the water Into the truth In your reflection He lives in you Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala He lives in you He lives in you He lives in me He watches over Everything we see Into the water Into the truth In your reflection He lives in you Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala He lives in you Ingonyama nengw' enamabala He lives in you Ingonyama nengw' enamabala He lives in you

Hands down your best cover jonathan production wise, your singing, your playing, your arranging it all just falls into place. And going into a more djenty, groove based sort of metal worked flawlessly. I wished you did more covers like this you really nailed that tesseract/periphery sort of style! Keep up the good work

He lives in you. He lives in me 🎵🎶🎶 Yesssss

This is the song I’ll have played at my funeral Not even morbidly, just because it’s a beautiful cover of an amazing song

I just wanted to say the covers that you've done for a lot of the Disney songs especially the ones I grew up with you made me fall back in love with and I also want to say the crew that you work with is awesome and you guys should keep doing what you're doing people our age who grew up with these kind of songs and you turning around and adding a twist to some of these that most people would've never thought of doing you're bringing back The feelings that we had growing up and knowing that there's people our age who enjoys them enough to turn around and bring them fourth and bring them into a new light is amazing all I can say is keep doing what you guys are doing.

Great job, nice rock/metal arrangement. Looovvveee!

Adorei suas versões das músicas Jonathan! Você canta e toca muito bem! Parabéns s2

Holy shit. That was beautiful, I nearly cried

I got chills listening to this. Something just resonates with me

So much energy in your voice! It's perfect!

Beautiful!!👏👏👏

i love lion king. i love this cover!

I have had goosebumps on my arms for about an hour after listening to this for the first time. Seriously, so good. You rock!

I've just discovered your channel and I have to say I love it!! It's a joy to sit and binge listen to all of your music. :) This is a particular favourite of mine. It translates to rock so well! Keep it up. X

If you did my lullaby omg

Ayyy gurl. You so good.

Probably the most beautiful thing I've seen all day. Feeling like my depression is bad today. This right here raised my spirit a bit.

this is my favourite Lion king song and you made it hauntingly beautiful. Wow. Keep up the great work!

Awesome !!!!!!!

Jonathan i really liked your be prepared cover! i listne to that everyday xd are you gonna do any in other villains song in the future? zira ~ my lullaby?

I can relate to this video and song to my bro who recently passed and now have it on my Spotify 😁😁😁 thanks for being so AMAZING!

Great arrangement on this song!!! Love the atmosphere and of course, vocals. Amazing job!

About to blow your minds (those of you who read Shakespeare anyway): Lion King is essentially Hamlet with animated animals. Try applying some of the songs to Hamlet! Boom. We're watching a clip from Hamlet: The Musical.

This easily one of my favorite disney covers period. Love to see "My Lullaby" if possible...

Jonathan, I just introduced my sister to your music and she literally gave me the shake down to beg you for My Lullaby as sung by Zira. We are both huge fans of you and your music and must beg horribly to see this song!

I am absolutely in love with this. This was my favorite song from the stage musical.

Jonathan, I love this. Like a lot.

This is too amazing, John. Stop. We are not worthy!

This has always been my favorite Lion King song. Thank you for this!!! 😭

This is awesome! I love your work. You are a very talented man.

Damn, that was amazing. :O You must do "My Lullaby" and "We are One", both from Lion King 2, pls pls pls... xD

I want this turned into a Gurren Lagann AMV about Kamina. I don't even care if I'm literally the only person who wants this - someone make it happen.

The world needs this version and many more of your great art bro.

This cover gives me all these happy bubbles in my chest, the way you did the instruments along with your ever amazing voice. Just perfection

I still think Disney reanimated the wrong Lion King movie. Simba's Pride deserves a proper theatrical release, and this cover is absolutely of the quality of modern Disney end credits tracks. Like, I would accept this as canon in a heartbeat. It's just that good.

FUCK ME, THIS IS SOME GOOD MUSIC DUDE

Such a stunning cover! Loving all these Disney rock covers :)

I have been watching your covers for some time now, I am compelled to say, you make these songs your own, not to say that they are detached from their roots, but more like the body has a new soul. Very original 👍

I think I want to marry you (and no this is not a songrequest :D )

you should really do a my lullaby cover

Favorite so far. Brings a new feeling while still holding the uplifting, hopeful tone of the original version. Top notch.

This is my favourite Lion King song and you did a GREAT job!

Enough procrastinating...time to buy this album!!!

You know, this song is beautiful even to us Christians, cuz the "He" could easily be described as God. Interesting. Don't worry though, it's not like we plan to steal the song. We just appreciate too.

Definitely one if my favourite covers . Your amazing x

this is my favorite song from the second movie, Great Job!!

You should do a cover of the Scooby Doo theme song

Did you make a cover for "We are one" ?

Man I've loved all of your covered .. Great job

Amazing song, I like how you kept the chant in the background

All the comments are talking about Christianity. This is obviously about Goku.

To me, this will always be a Christian song

Wow! I'm blown away! Jonathan Young, your sir are crazy talented! Keep the jams comin!

This was amazing. You are very talented & I've subscribed. Just wow😍

You know its kinda a christian song? ^^ Yes i am here the third time.. I just love it

they should of made you do this song in the movie

Beautiful work manI listen to this on repeat

So happy that this man, and his amazing talent exists in this world. Johnathan Young I hope you can continue doing what you love for years to come and are able to prosper from it, because you have incredible skills. -New Subscriber

How about We are one from this movie? :)

Jonathan just put the Rock back in Pride Rock

I found you through a video linked on memebase. And subscribing to you has been the best thing ever! I love everything you've put out, and I can actually listen to songs I wouldn't otherwise listen to because of the rock aspect. Just bought your latest Disney Album. Much love from across the seas in england!

I still think this is top three of your covers! The most underrated Lion King song, and one of the most underrated disney songs ever! Together with Hellfire and Bells of notre dame, my definitive top three! AND a unpopular opinion, I would've love to see you cover Speechless from Aladdin, in metal gerne obviously! Jonathan, your songs have brought me so much joy through tough times, keep up the good work buddy! Love from Norway!
