[What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong]
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah
What a Wonderful World
This track features a vibrant, upbeat pop-rock arrangement that captures the high-energy spirit of the Madagascar film soundtrack. The recording blends catchy melodies with a driving rhythm, characteristic of the era's family-friendly musical productions. While the song is often associated with the broader pop landscape, its specific placement here serves as a dynamic underscore for the movie's adventurous themes. The composition relies on its infectious hook and lively instrumentation to create an atmosphere of joy and movement, fitting perfectly within the album's collection of energetic tracks designed to evoke excitement and optimism.
