I've Been listening to "The Lion King" soundtrack, and each time I listen to it I become more and more hooked to it... It really pulls you...

It's very Majestic and full of Feelings, the type of music I enjoy a lot.

From Elton John's award winning "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" to Hans Zimmer's Powerful musics, to Lebo M's energetic African Choir, I notice three very prominent Instruments: 1st being the Drums... aw come on, African music without drums? that's not African music.... But I had enough of drums for the moment.... The 2nd being the Flute, usually the melody, nothing much special though.... The 3rd, this instrument really caught my attention. The French Horn, can be heard in almost every song, even "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" starts with the French Horns. I suppose the French Horn brings along with it a very Majestic Sound, unique in itself, I really enjoyed the sound, now I have much more respect for the French Horn Players.

PS. As for those who thought I was going to write band... wait a day later... let me break a few more bones before I write...
