WELL, I SUPPOSE THINGS DON'T GET WORSE THAN HANGING FROM A HELIUM BALLOON A MILE ABOVE SOME UNRECOGNIZED STATE. OF COURSE, MY GRIP COULD WEAKEN, OR I COULD GET SUCKED INTO A JET INTAKE. THAT'S ONE OF THE REMARKABLE THINGS ABOUT LIFE. IT'S NEVER SO BAD THAT IT CAN'T GET WORSE. - Bill Waterson

A Whole new world..

This is the soundtrack from one of my favourite movies- Alladin. The song is perfect for a fairy tale like fantasy setting. Alladin takes princess Jasmine on a magic carpet ride and they discover the world from a new viewpoint. As you listen to the song, you also go on a fantasy ride- with the music and the lyrics, with Alladin and Jasmine -trying to imagine how it would be to behold the world from atop a magic carpet! Its light, breezy, romantic and full of magic :-)

The lyrics go like this -

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

On a recent visit to Disneyland in Hongkong, I was treated to an amazing visual of fireworks lighting up the night sky and the sleeping beauty castle. The fireworks were to the tune of a whole new world. The lyrics were slightly modified and the tune a little slow, but the magic was intact. It was indeed a whole new world seeing the bright fireworks dance across the sky, showing different shades of a magical castle !


So what if you cant fly over the world on a magic carpet and view the beauty, you can look at the world from a different angle and discover things you have never seen before and behold a whole new world!
