The Artist: Mandy Moore & Zachary Levi

The Song: "I See the Light" from Disney's 50th animated film, Tangled

Where you heard it first: When I saw Tangled in the movie theatre, it quickly became one of my favorite Disney movies.  Even though it was computer animated, rather than the classic hand-drawn films, Tangled had a story that all girls loved.  Rapunzel was a strong-willed young woman who took it upon herself to see the world after having been locked in a tower for years.  With the voice of Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as her companion Flynn Rider, the romantic theme song for Tangled was sure to be amazing and it did not disappoint. 

Why it’s been stuck in your head: This song is one of the first Disney themes in the new 60th Anniversary fireworks display at Disneyland Park and every time they play it, I can't help but sing along.  I also just went to a Rapunzel themed birthday party for one of my friend's daughters and the hired "Rapunzel" had an amazing voice when she was singing this to all the little kids

Why you recommend it to our listeners: Disney music has always been an integral part of our lives and this song is one of the best.  It also won Best Original Song in our Fandom Academy Awards earlier this year.  This song is beautiful and sure to get stuck in your head when you listen to it.
