Eva Avila - Canada (You're A Lifetime Journey) (full song)

[@sillylion14]

I'm Canadian and I get chills listening to this. Such a gem of a song

[@disneydanny2]

have you ever heard the original version?

[@AlexandreJaPA]

Oh I heard for the first time in 2012 my first time on Disney parks and in 2016 I moved from Brazil to Canada, now in 2023 got m my permanent residence so this song it has a special meaning for me. Also I love Disney and EPCOT ❤

[@mateomoreno6125]

I love your country

[@SuperLumaTunes]

I'm an American but this song made me cry at epcot 😂😂

[@TheCarsche]

I too am an American and I love this song. I think Oh Canada evokes a sense of pride in oneself. God bless my Canadian neighbors

[@oblongfan1]

same lol

[@HauntinMatthew1969]

I’m also American! Got chills watching the attraction😂

[@jayvee7482]

I'm an American and I like this song. Never been to Canada either .

[@QuentrixMovies]

i love how it includes an instrumental o canada before the song

[@TheCarsche]

JordanBachmeier I couldn't agree more and what a beautiful rendition of such a gorgeous National Anthem

[@lelemara2885]

I immediately fell in love with the song at Epcot. Just watching the magnificent images and scenery on the 360 screen with the music was so emotional... I’m French but O Canada you’re beautiful

[@socialteacher78]

The song is very relaxing to listen to when working...

[@danaabel1049]

Brian Traxler It sure also helps you sleep well.

[@MikeShrike]

I've always had a soft spot for the original song...and I like this version better. The French is more understandable. I also like the symbolism of one singer covering both the English and French parts, the more sweeping orchestrations, and the better match of lyrics to visuals. This is a strong update and a fantastic tribute to Bob Moline's original work. I cried a little when the song burst in with the Mounties on screen to herald a grand finale.

[@TheCarsche]

wow!!! just found this version/remake of a song which I have loved for years. while I am not Canadian I have spent so much time on various trips and tours there that I consider it a second home. To my neighbors to the north, yours is such a beautiful country and you have such wonderful people there. Thank you for so openly sharing it with a pseudo-Canadian citizen like myself. Listening to this songs brings tears to my eyes and such warm and happy memories. Thank you and God bless you Canada.

[@rty1955]

TheCarsche IMHO the original was better

[@TheCarsche]

@@rty1955 I agree with you there, especially since the original one was part of my first trip to Disney World and Epcot. What a great trip that was

[@Historymaker-2001]

Personally I like this version more than the original. In the original, neither of the vocalists were Canadian, and Juanice Charmaine (the woman who sang the French parts did not speak French (it showed in her delivery, and was bad enough that some French Canadians I know considered it an insult). Eva Avila is both Canadian and biligual. She can sing and speak fluently in both languages.

[@mediaology]

Found it! Fell in love with this song at epcot. Thank you!!

[@MeDecade]

Kouie As did I.

[@Bradly105]

Kouie Cool, the full version!

[@scottmckenzie2914]

I had the exact same experience as you did!

[@skimblebanks]

A truly beautiful piece of music.

[@danaabel1049]

Yeah, I know. It's just really relaxing to hear.

[@alanlevine5261]

she makes our hearts warm with her talent. what a young lady.

[@MamitaGomez]

I heard this song over 30 years ago as a kid at Epcot and never forgot how lovely it was. I'm trying to (finally) plan a trip to Canada and started to hum the bars. How nice to find it on KZbin!

[@MeDecade]

Must've been Bob Moline's version you heard then. I heard this version when I was there in 2010 and from what I understand it hadn't been used very long at that point.

[@evifnoskcaj]

2:40 is where the magic begins. This has such 90s patriotic 'murica vibes but it's Canadian and my brain couldn't handle it so I did nothing but smile and laugh.

[@arcticelephant5936]

Merci! Bon la chanson!

[@arcticelephant5936]

I’m a Franco-Canadian! 🇨🇦🇫🇷🇨🇦🇫🇷🇨🇦🇫🇷🇨🇦🇫🇷

[@thewolf3703]

Canada forever! And such an amazing song. I think it truly captures a big piece of what Canada "feels" like.._ to me anyway.._when i am away

[@adverseflower34]

I'm AMERICAN and this song causes CHILLS and is POWERFUL. Makes me want to be Canadian ☺️. I DDEPLY love this song...SO much better than the American Pavillion song lol.

[@danaabel1049]

I live right next door to Ontario, so I know what you mean.

[@2004hiperjavier]

That was so beautiful!!!!😍😍😍😭😭😭😭

[@sanjuro66]

I love the snippet of the National Anthem of Canada.

[@taylorshelton3267]

Nice sound track 80sKid. Canada is the first pavilion I visit at worldshowcase at epcot after I tour future world. I love the show o Canada and I love eating open-face steak sandwiches at the Le Cellier Steakhouse they also serve great maple-glazed salmon and rosemary chicken which also taste great.

[@SarahSchreck]

This is my car jam.

[@blinderII]

This is beautiful !

[@L1verpool1]

“Fine! I’ll just go to the France Pavilion film - where they appreciate an invisible narrator!”

[@janieboisvert7933]

Thank you! So happy to finally find it!!!!

[@MusicalFan1701]

Very nice.

[@k2lnknprk]

Love it!!! Thank you!

[@mateomoreno6125]

Canada you’re a life time journey

[@amberkitavi8464]

This song makes me want to be Canadian!

[@danaabel1049]

For those who aren't too familiar w/ the French lyrics, here's the translation: J'ai suivi la trace de tes oiseaux de neiges dans les forêts. J'atteins peu à peu ton coeur et je vois plaisir, comme si comme l'enfant. (I pursued the trace of your snowbirds in the woods; I casually reach your heart & I see as a child.) Canada, mon Canada; Aboutissement d'un rêve pour tous les voyageurs. Canada, mon Canada; Sur ta lingne de vie se tracent les miracles de la terre. (Canada, my Canada; A fulfillment of a dream for all travelers; Canada, my Canada; On your lifeline, the world's wonders are traced.) Canada comme une odyssée à travers les temps, tu es la fleur et la semence. Canada, tes montagnes, tes villes, et tes mers sont tout ce que j'aime. (Canada, like a journey through generations, you're the flower & seed; Canada, your mountains, cities, & seas are all that I adore.)

[@thekurt5781]

Love Canada,...I'm just a bigger fan of the original version of this song...personal preference ❤️

[@geoffreystill1038]

This song makes me so proud to be a Canadian.... and I am 0% Canadian

[@sergiocunha4248]

Música mais linda de Epcot!! 😥🇧🇷

[@MeDecade]

You're quite welcome!

[@mateomoreno6125]

I love ❤️ you Disney World

[@SxyChicDisney]

Who else loves this song because of Olaf and Olivia??

[@ryanmeneo6301]

yes

[@koreanboyz781]

yasssss

[@randomstuffidid1631]

CastMemberLove YAS!

[@confectionari5417]

glad I'm not the only one hahahah!

[@danaabel1049]

I was a Disney CM, & you actually have the wrong country altogether. In fact, they're not even actual Norse mythology characters.

[@seanpearl8156]

The duet original version is much better.

[@oblongfan1]

thos one sounds way better and by an actual canadian

[@danaabel1049]

From this song, it sure helps you sleep well

[@MrMuppetLover]

This is the best version of the song. The original is merely okay, nothing exceptional, really.

[@williamfries65]

Ah…Disney Magic…you can get as much as you want…but you’re going to pay out the ass for it.

[@user-qjvqfjv]

Why would you post the inferior version of this song? The original is so much better.

[@MeDecade]

So go listen to Moline's version. You know you can do that, right? Isn't the internet great?

[@Historymaker-2001]

Based on your opinion. There are people who like the new versions and dislike the original. This version isn’t “inferior” to the original.

[@user-qjvqfjv]

@@Historymaker-2001 It is objectively inferior.

[@Historymaker-2001]

@@user-qjvqfjv No, it is not objectively (which means without personal bias or opinion) inferior. It is YOUR OPINION that this version is "inferior". You are entitled to your opinion, but don't insult other's opinions or preferences, and don't try to claim objectivity without offering unbiased, impersonal evidence of your claims.

[@user-qjvqfjv]

@@Historymaker-2001 I'm aware what objective means. I stand by my statement.
