"We are All Connected" is an instrumental score composed by Hans Zimmer heard on the album, The Lion King: The Legacy Collection.
Background[]
The Lion King[]
"We Are All Connected" is the second score heard in the film. It starts playing after Mufasa argues with Scar when the rainstorm instigates and continues on throughout Mufasa's lesson about the circle of life. It ends around the time Zazu comes to give the morning report.
The Stage Musical[]
Though this score is not apart of the original cast recording, it can be heard during the musical itself in the same sequence of events as its movie counterpart. The score was slightly altered. Officially, the music is split into two parts, titled "Pridelands" and "Rafiki Paints Simba".[1]
Trivia[]
- The first thirty seconds of the score are used in the beginning of "This Land."
- The piece is actually comprised of two separate cues joined together. This is evidenced by the use of the second part of the track later in the film, when Timon and Pumbaa wake up Simba.
- The Legacy Collection includes the final version of this cue as well as a demo version of the cue. The demo contains a substantially different interlude to that in the film, as it introduces Rafiki's theme and contains music similar to the Busa theme heard in "Hyenas in the Pride Lands".
