The Disneyland Paris Resort is about to start its 30th Anniversary Celebration, and recently, it dropped a brand new song that utterly destroys everything the Walt Disney World Resort put out for its 50th Anniversary Celebration.
The song is called “Un Monde Qui s’Illumine,” which translates literally in English to “A World That Lights Up” and it is a song of inspiration to take that One Little Spark inside us all and light up the world.
You can listen to it here from Disneyland Paris’ official Youtube Channel:
Here are the lyrics:
Look to the sky, hope is all around
And it’s about to ignite
It’s looking bright, go on let it out
The spark you’re feeling insideIt’s a brand new start
Open up your heart
Let it move your soulWe’re gonna dream a little bigger
Laugh a little harder
Sing a little louder now
We’re gonna dance a little bolder
Love a little better
Take my hand, I’ll show you howThe future holds so much more
Than we’ve ever seen before
There’s something so magical
Shining from our dreams
Un monde qui s’illumine!
Woooah, woooah
Un monde qui s’illumine! Woooah, woooah
Un monde qui s’illumine!
The future holds so much more
Than we’ve ever seen before
There’s something so magical
Shining from our dreams
Un monde qui s’illumine!
Woooah, woooah
Un monde qui s’illumine! Woooah, woooah
Un monde qui s’illumine!
It’s a brand new day
New in every way
Let the good times rollIt’s a brand new start
Open up your heart
Let it move your soulWe’re gonna dream a little bigger
Laugh a little harder
Sing a little louder now
We’re gonna dance a little bolder
Love a little better
Take my hand, I’ll show you howThe future holds so much more
Than we’ve ever seen before
There’s something so magical
Shining from our dreams
Un monde qui s’illumine!
Woooah, woooah
Un monde qui s’illumine! Woooah, woooah
Un monde qui s’illumine!
This song immediately gets you out of your seat, dancing to something completely new. Five seconds in, and we got goosebumps.
While Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th Anniversary material like “Disney Enchantment” and “HarminoUS” is visually stunning, and “You are the Magic” does have some moments, they just can’t measure up to “Un Monde Qui s’Illumine.” Disney World’s offerings prioritize the IPs far too much. Writers force the pre-written references into the music and lyrics, wishing upon pre-established sentiment instead of giving fans new inspiration to wish upon a star.
Disneyland Paris’ anthem has far more inspiring lyrics that fit better into the rhythm, making it far more catchy than Disney World’s. This writer puts “Un Monde Qui s’Illumine” up with Paint the Night Parade’s “When Can I See You Again” from Owl City as one of, the catchiest [newer] Disney Park songs yet, as well as with “Happily Ever After” as one of the most inspirational driving Disney Park songs yet
So, Walt Disney World Resort, please take note. Meanwhile, this song can live rent-free in my head until President Macron ends his vaccine pass mandates, and I can visit Parc Disneyland myself.
