I remember hearing this song after the Disneyland Forever fireworks in 2022. It was my first time going to the park in 5 years, and it was the most wonderful experience of my life. Ever since, I had this song stuck in my head because of how beautiful it is. Most of all, as someone else said, this song perfectly captures and represents the spirit of Disneyland and why it's still such an iconic and wonderful place after all these years. Disneyland Forever indeed.

ディズニーに妹と二人で行って 花火の時間になって、バックでこの曲が 流れて涙を流しながら見てました。 コロナで大変な時期だけど、この曲を 聞いてこの大変な時期を乗り越えます。 コロナが終わったらまた絶対ディズニー行く！私たちに夢と希望を与えてくれるディズニーが大好きです。

[@ミッチーマウス-s5m]

5年間大好きだった人と最後にディズニーに行った時に観た花火のBGMで流れてた曲。 この曲聴くと楽しかったことも辛かったこともムカついたことも、色んな思い出が蘇ってくるし、確実に一生忘れない曲。

曲の意味が分からなくても、花火のあといつも泣いてしまうのは本当に魔法にかかって るんだって実感できるから大好きです。

[@xXLightBluePandaXx]

I remeber I was carrying my sister while we were walking out of the park. She slowly fell asleep when the music was playing.

[@tiffanyadventures]

Yess me and my sister do this. I piggybacked my sister in Disneyland❤️

This gave me insane goosebumps cuz of the flashbacks when I was there on the 60th anniversary. Thank you again for this.

[@SailorMoonieKitty]

+TwoOreosOneCup same!!

[@ddcll9538]

+TwoOreosOneCup same, but paint the night parade music (on this channel as well) gave me even bigger goosebumps. It is so depressing to think that...... it's all over... back to hellhole of school

[@joshuaakers3826]

Guess what? You'll never see Paint the Night or Disneyland Forever ever again. They will be removing them permanently as of September 5th 2016. It was only for the diamond anniversary. I'm really sad.

[@TwoOreosOneCup]

Guess what Joshua... I already knew that and I'm going there next week to see them for the final time BOOM!

[@ddcll9538]

i am still addicted to paint the night music

I love this song when I listen to it I can hear the laughter the happiness the joy of kids all around the park. Disneyland is surly the happiest place on earth to visit to take in the magic to live the magic to fall in love with the magic that makes love come true of feeling like a kid again if it wasn't for Walt and his creativity to bring the magical place come alive it wouldn't be part of this world but he truly made it possible and his works and legacy of life lives on in the park and in our hearts. Thank you Walt for bringing us Disneyland we enjoy being in your presence in the park we love you and miss you !

[@cosmicfeather1999]

Ohh My Gosh!!! :0 I remember singing to this when me and family left Disneyland and it was about 9 or 10 and this reminds me of my grandpa who died recently 😢😢and he paid for our WHOLE trip to so... when I hear this everytime someone hums it or sings it, i alway start to cry cause it reminds of my grandpa ....

[@ryguy4825]

Senior in college here. I got 6 weeks left till I graduate, and I feel so overwhelmed. I'm working at an unpaid internship 20-25 hours a week, working at a part-time job 13 hours a week, and also in class 8 hours a week. I'm stress, overwhelmed, overworked, and tired.I feel so utterly done. But Disney makes things a little bit better. This song especially is making me feel hopeful right now. Which is funny, since I'm a WDW guy. ;) Just shows how universal Disney is.

[@emmalee8957]

How are things going for you now?

[@queenesther09]

I wish with all my heart I was there now. It's one of the few places where I feel truly and completely happy. I hope I can find a way to play this song at my wedding.

[@Vinny792]

I have not yet found a love in my life as I'm writing this down. But when I do, and I know that I will, I also want this to be my wedding song.

[@nhrafan07]

Ahhhh this is TOO perfect. It always makes me vividly think of taking my 2-year-old this past year for her first Disneyland experience and being able to see the look in her eyes and how she took in all the magic. Best. Disney. Memory. Ever. 😭

[@ryguy4825]

[@larilawliet]

THIS MAKES ME CRY OF HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!! i wish i could be a little girl again u.u every time i go to disneyland makes me feel younger and full of live.

[@chrischoy4327]

Isn't this song amazing??? Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I'm not sure who the female voice is, but the male vocal is definitely KEITH LONGO. Keith is a good friend of mine, and I remember him telling me when he booked the job and went to the recording sessions. He's an incredible singer. Keith is the male vocalist for all versions of 'Live The Magic', including the intro and ballad. Just wanted to clarify since a couple people have asked who performed the song and some names were mentioned that were incorrect. Check Wikipedia for confirmation on Keith's performance as well.

[@abrahizzzle]

We fell in love to this song right there under the fireworks. Her a Castmember and me an AP. The park has always had a special magic, and now it’s more magical for us together. Can’t wait for it to reopen!
