This song changed my life as a kid. I started loving the Earth and all living things. I started loving all people on the Earth and appreciating everything. It's such a beautiful song.
Whoever wrote this song was way ahead of his/her time, especially in this our now dystopian world of Covid 19. 😢The lyrics and music are so healing to the soul. Vanessa Williams is perfection. ❤️🐈
No they weren't because racism and mistreatment of another human despite skin color or ethnicity has been here before these few months or few years... It existed as well in Pocahontas day and before... Look up the true meaning of Thanksgiving, you wouldn't celebrate it ever again unless you are a savage.
Michelle Gomez Thank you for the clarification. I agree. When I first heard this song years ago, my Dad was still alive; I was living far away from home and somehow the melody of the song made me think of him. Now, in Covid, the song still cheers me up and gives me hope. You are right and I apologize for any offense. God Bless You!❤️🐈
@@sallywhite7678 No offense and my apologies if I came off in another tone of unpleasant.. Wishing you can find more ways to cope. I'm glad this song brings you some happiness. As it does for me as well. Truly look research Thanksgiving. My grandparents who have Tribal parents (except my grandfather who's father was an African man) didn't celebrate that holiday...
Hi....I just found out that my mom is gone, so I decided to listen to her favorite song ‘colors of the wind’. I don’t think I can’t listen to this song the same way ever again. Life is really cruel, I just lost my best friend at 15, she didn’t even get the chance to see me graduate from highschool. But instead of getting sad, I’ll be strong for her cause she hates it when I’m sad or weak, she wants me to be strong and brave like her. Thank you for all the memories, mom... I love you..
I am homeless and have been for a few years my age is late 50s early 60s and this song is awesome I love nature but people are trashy and have no respect for it thank you for this beautiful song Respectfully and love Tammie B From San Angelo texas
When I was a child, I only think this song as a song but now I'm an adult, I understand how deep and meaningful the lyrics are . This is my all time favourite Disney song
I just listened to this gem for the first time in years and got tears in my eyes. The movie is 25 years old now and nothing has changed. If anything, man's greed and the exploitation of the worldwide ecosystem has only gotten worse. Heartbreaking!
"How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know." IN TEARS WHEN I HEARD THIS LINE AS I REMEMBERED WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE AMAZON. I hope it all soon stops and everything gets well. Let's all pray and do definite actions as well. 🙏
Same age here now 35. Miss my childhood so much. I was able to live free without a care in the world. Everything was magical for me, thanks to my parents.
Honestly as a Native American I personally am really happy that there is some form of representation of my people...like at least some people will actually realize that Natives are real and that we are still here.....Like some people from my school don't even really know what Natives are since the school I go to pushes not teaching kids about my history and it makes me honestly really sad like they are basically invalidating the pain that we went through and disregarding our *rich* history, myths, beliefs, just because it makes the history of white people look less clean than most want it too be.... And I know that some people are really unhappy with this movie since it honestly really messed up peoples belief in what actually happened....but I mean again its still representation and show that we actually do exist... Does it even make sense what I'm trying to say....??
Your good people I'm a natural human I love the land for what it is and provides the history books are wrong the native Americans are good pure people and the world could do with more of there ways I'm an English man and I try to stay close to your history the world provides the planet is sacrid and violence is not the answer (atleast that's what I got from what I study)
What you're saying is: some representation even if not totally correct is better than no representation at all. Native americans are a part of this earth along with many other cultures and people, to ignore a group, especially because what's been done to them makes certain cultures and people look bad- still isn't fair. History is History- it shouldn't be ignored but rather learned from. Can't change the wrongs of the past but can learn from those wrongs to make sure they are never repeated and to show the consequences and results of wrong.
If some educators won't push students to know more about the Natives, I suggest to build schools which are exclusively for Native American teachers who impart everyone about the history and all so there is still preservation and acknowledgement in the future. Actually I don't know the situation in there but I hope my recommendation helps.
What a voice of a great artist, this woman can sing with passion and a loveliness which some artists lack. Talk about hitting the high notes on this track "how high does the sycamore grow" wow!
This song is infinity times amazing 💕👍😇😭I feel like crying to how good the song is omg OMG my nefu listens to this song every night when going to bed even in the morning it's sooooooo good 👍👍👍
I miss my music class in school, we always sang this before quarantine, our teacher was the best. Man I miss those times, now that we are old you remember what you treasure the most before, sometimes I even regret not making enough memories with my friends😭
This song is perfect. To silence those who bank on poplar Expression of To see is to believe to complete it To see all these things that man can't create is to believe that someone greater than man created All these He is God

"As the the little microsprite climbed a rose, using the thorns as ladder rungs, she mused that she had always thought the wind must weigh a kilometer.... but her mother would always laugh and say the air could not be measured in miles per hour and not to worry her pretty little head with such silly thoughts...." - one of the stories I'll never finish writing.
You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth Come roll in all the riches all around you And for once, never wonder what they're worth The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my friends And we are all connected to each other, In a circle, in a hoop that never ends Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or let the eagle tell you where he's been Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind Can you paint with all the colors of the wind How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper-skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain Need to paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the earth and still All you'll own is earth until You can paint with all the colors of the wind
My wife was playing this song earlier this week. I totally forgot about Colours Of The Wind. Even though the song is form 1995, when I heard the song play again, I was transported back to when my daughter was about 4 years old (she is now 20 years old). Beautiful and timeless song.
Yes so true for this is the truth!!!! This gorgeous, sophisticated, elegant preciouse, tender, friendly, honest, humble and copperskinned Lady Vanessa Williams performered this song so beautifull, graciouse nice...and so truthfull...love her!!!!! sincerly, r.m.n. H.

I love to think parents in the 90s were already talking about recent Disney movies in the workplace, with conversations like "Yeah, I just took my kid to see Pocahontas last weekend. It wasn't as good as Lion King or Aladdin" or "That Robin Williams is a riot!"
i love this song,it is very good song and I sang to it and worshipped to it since I am Godly believer and since it's a relaxing and smoothing song!amen!
2023 and still listening. Who else is listening?
This song changed my life as a kid. I started loving the Earth and all living things. I started loving all people on the Earth and appreciating everything. It's such a beautiful song.

Stay strong guy, really sad to hear that
I lost my mummy very early as well. I was turning 18 that same year. Keep praying and looking up.
This song has a very genuine meaning and feeling. We should all get closer to nature and take better care of the world.
Are you still alive?
I am homeless and have been for a few years my age is late 50s early 60s and this song is awesome I love nature but people are trashy and have no respect for it thank you for this beautiful song

Absolutely agree. So beautiful so meaningful and so powerful.
this is so satisfying, mostly during times like this. I imagine the world is healing from its past pains. I hope everyone is okay. God bless

Man I still tear up anytime I hear this masterpiece. Even soundtracks were epic in the 90s.
When I was a child, I only think this song as a song but now I'm an adult, I understand how deep and meaningful the lyrics are . This is my all time favourite Disney song
Enjoying while Tearing
This song is so relatable these days.. our world is getting destroyed more. Sad..
Agreed..and I. Native American Lakota...am 😥
Abeyshe I mean, our government is being run by corrupt bureaucrats, oceans are getting filled with trash, and some time ago, the Amazon was on fire!
I love to play this it is because our land is very sadnesses about corona viruses
Now in may police are being rude and cornna
And we know who’s to blame for that. Such a shame.
I just listened to this gem for the first time in years and got tears in my eyes. The movie is 25 years old now and nothing has changed. If anything, man's greed and the exploitation of the worldwide ecosystem has only gotten worse. Heartbreaking!

so true
So damn true.
Yes heartbreaking. Man so easily forgets that we don't own this Earth, we're only allowed to borrow it.
I just miss the Disney era in the 90s
DisneyWorld was fun to go to
Kids today will never know what those that were kids in the 90s remember
I agree full heartedly. I'm a child of the 90s, and that was a great era for me.

Good voice Vanessa Williams! It's a voice of an angel!
One of the best song in history , such an inspiration and eye opener 💖

I love the Disney Movie "Pocahontas" and Vanessa Williams's version of this song.
You know there also the tori kelly version of well listen to it
i love this song and as a native american myslef it has that much more meaning to me
One of my favorite Disney songs..just simply Beautiful and the lyrics are the truth!!!
This is one of my favorite cartoon Disney movie ever...i love everything in it and the song was sung beautifully...bravo!
I couldn't figure out why I cried so hard in my twenties every time I heard this song now that I'm in my late forties I understand
@airamarielle listen to the song and you will understand
Jennifer Carney Is you sure you thank you for your birthday thank you thank for you
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other,
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
This song has a special place in my heart ❤ for someone I know💖
I'll be forever disney lover it always reminds me how happy my childhood was 90s era
