Pre - Illuminations: Reflections of Earth Music

This is the music played 5 minutes before IllumiNations Reflections of Earth begins at Disney's Epcot in Walt Disney World. The song is called Our Life and by Uttara-Kuru and is available on iTunes.
I took none of these photos. If one of them are yours, and you'd like recognition, let me know.

You know shit just got real when you hear this echo in the park.

[@JDaTopo]

so true

[@xxluigi123]

when i was younger i used to be afraid of this show, so when i heard this song i knew i had to book it to future world.

[@oakwhiteshoes]

Amen brother! Love this tune. Like heaven on earth...along with sipping my frozen margaritas from Mexico pavilion!

[@peterpandulcee]

I worked in World Showcase as a Cast Member and I used to jam out to this music as I directed guests and guests would dance with me! Ahh I miss working here so much.

[@MrSpadeofAce]

i can't describe in words , what this music makes me feel.... I was in Epcot in 2015 and i feel so grateful to have seen illuminations before it was gone . its the best fireworks show ever. hopefully i will be going back in the near future.. Epcot is my favorite place on earth. :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such a great song, perfect for building up to a show

[@richardjacobs]

Hey Shawn!

[@fenderstratADHD]

Reflections Of Earth is the best show in all of Disney! I love the Earth globe when it comes out after the Chaos! Beautiful show! This and the actual soundtrack by Gavin Greenaway is breathtaking!

[@gymnastgirlflips]

I can't wait to hear this song in person again. The hype for waiting for Illuminations is just amazing. To see the torches lit, to see everyone around the world getting ready to watch Illuminations... I love it. This music goes perfectly with the mood.

[@taylorshelton3267]

Great recording Wickedsoccer22. The best part about illuminations is that it was something to enjoy after a full day at epcot and this music was something that I could enjoy before the show.

[@bradwilson1779]

This is really good music. This stuff is what makes Disney differently special!

[@P3rfectLies]

warm august evening, cold beer, good spot to view the fireworks = perfect night at epcot

[@haveaniceday519]

Listened to this nightly while on my Disney College program, working illuminations!

[@matthewreynolds2208]

I always try to time it out where i can get to Germany for some great beer whenever the music starts.

[@moonbunnychan]

My friend's and I's tradition is to time it so that we're at the pastry shop in Norway during this music.

[@stobsea]

The Illuminations prelims are available in the department store in the Japan pavillion - a CD by Uttara-Kuru.

[@bsktball777]

Listening to this really makes me feel at peace. It makes me the remember all the fun times I had here. The last time I went here was 3 years ago with my parents and sister. I haven't been back since because my parents divorced a few months later. Had I known that would have been my last time there I would have taken in the moment much more than I had. My mom loved the world showcase and makes me remember back when there was more peace in my family. Hearing this again brought tears to my eyes.

[@JDaTopo]

THAT PIANNO THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3:35

[@ZeusAssassin]

What an awesome track to get the audience pumped up for arguably the best fireworks show in Orlando! Cool find wickedsoccer22!

[@CptCog]

The thing which makes me want to go back to Disney World is never just the rides, the attractions, or the characters... it's the music. Every time I hear music from Epcot or Magic Kingdom, all I can picture in my head is myself standing inside of Epcot, or in the World Showcase Pavillion

[@17PianoAngelLily11]

I am not in college right now. I am in front of Italy eating Mickeyears not really believing that im actually in Disneyworld paradise...

[@TheDISNEY365]

I LOVE HOW IT WENT FROM DAY TO SUN DOWN TO NIGHT TO SHOW TIME!

[@maimoneattia]

This would be good music to wake up to.

[@Wickedsoccer22]

@JohnStripedfur Sure do! Busindre Reel - by Hevia, Falling Through a Cloud - by Uttara-Kuru, Gaviotes - by Hevia, Tula - By Cusco All of those can be found on iTunes I believe :)

[@17PianoAngelLily11]

I've been trying to find this music forever!!!! thank you so much!!!!!!

[@JohnStripedfur]

Thanks for putting this song up. I've been looking everywhere for this song. They use to play this on a character bus in Epcot a couple years ago. They stopped doing that, but still play this song and others before Illuminations started. So, thanks for putting this up. I just hope I can find other songs as well. :)

[@Perrygallo]

this music always gets me so hyped there

[@bradwilson525]

May 30 2021, tickets for 50th anniversary, yay.

[@MouseMagic1]

Love this track, thanks for putting it on here.

[@rohirrim11rider]

EPCOT truely is the greatest and most original theme park of all time.

[@theysoqueso]

I love this song so much! Thanks!

[@powdgaze]

Mmmmm I love ethnic trance It's the best working music

[@matthewleininger8079]

Now I know what the chord progessions to the Let It Go verses are based off of

[@bradwilson525]

Excellent once again, thanks June 23, 2020

[@JohnStripedfur]

Cool. I will. And hopefully they'll have the other songs they play during the last 30 minutes before Illuminations starts. :)

[@gnunes77]

Wow I almost feel the Germain's Beer taste again!!

[@3ino122]

mmmm that icecream place they have a picture of, we walked by there it smells soooooo good :D

[@lymonguy2441]

the song before this one (the one with bagpipe) is busindre reel by hevia

[@Starstreamtracker]

Love IT!

[@Bublio53]

8D I frikkin love this music! I always love sitting near one of those big torches with this playing. So... tribal and awesome? lol ^_^ *dances*

[@Wickedsoccer22]

@sangreazul8 I was referring to this song, Our Life, being played 5 minutes before IllumiNations.

[@DisneyVideos123x]

Download Busindre Reel from Itunes or Amazon. It is one of the best pre-fireworks Epcot songs IMHO. I think Epcot only plays the last 2 minutes of the song. It totally pumps me up to go back to Epcot!

[@Wickedsoccer22]

You can buy it on iTunes also. Search "Our Life" by Uttara-Kuru

[@L8onL8on]

I have a 60+ minute audio file of it actually, I guess you can call it the *entire* loop, from Preshow to the finish (through Tapestry, etc). Problem is I don't know where it is. But now you've inspired me to look. ^_^

[@peaceloveanime286]

@Slickness1980 no they still use it

[@soundboardbaby]

hmm, for some reason this song reminds me of "Tubular Bells"......you know the one that was featured in the movie "Exorcist"

[@rctcrazy12]

Tula is another song in the preshow look for that.

[@RH-ok2db]

They play the same sounds just at different days of the week. They like to mix it up.

[@USACYBERCOM]

Daryl zebulon - I think that you are talking about the song Busindre Reel by Hevia

[@mariasylvester6960]

Reel by hevia

[@XxHuskerKillerxX]

There was a song with bagpipes. What was it called?

[@Wickedsoccer22]

@iluvjoejonasmuscles They're on Flickr.

[@caroleeperry6655]

Sorry....just read the description. Thanks for posting this song.

[@torresbob8]

Actually it is played 30min before illuminations.

[@MrWin7help]

Great. Anyone know where I can find the post show music to reflections?

[@MrWin7help]

Oh thanks!

[@JohnStripedfur]

@Wickedsoccer22 Hey dude. Do you know the names of the other songs during the Illuminations pre-show?

[@L8onL8on]

Believe me I'd love to... but I'm not a KZbin partner and truthfully I have no uploaded videos at all and as such I only have a 10 minute upload limit. Any suggestions on how to work around that?

[@darylzebulon4834]

Does anyone know where to find the other preshow music involving bagpipes?

[@Verysleepyash]

Yea

[@LoneDeveloper]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJC0YWuZhLWkncU

[@JohnStripedfur]

@Wickedsoccer22 Awesome. Thanks. :)

[@Slickness1980]

anyone remember the hevia song busindre real that they used?

[@L8onL8on]

@Supermassively - Do you mean the one with the female announcer? (Presently it's male now)

[@caroleeperry6655]

what's the name of this song?

[@L8onL8on]

Also I found this recently, though it's only 31 minutes, preshow only; my 68 minute version has the Preshow loop, mixed into RoE, with "Promise" and Tapestry of Nations right after. Sound cloud dot com (slash) disneyblah (slash) epcot-illuminations-preshow

[@Sloth55Chunk]

Promenade 6 in position

[@TheDISNEY365]

[@bradwilson525]

January 22,2024. Anybody? At Epcot

[@JohnStripedfur]

@Wickedsoccer22 Thanks again. :)

[@tmarcojr]

Unbelievable!!!...How did you find out the info on this track??...I love the music they pump thru is there a web that tells you the artists??

[@mamoajws]

I think it's the ones that get the most likes or "thumbs up."

[@mamoajws]

What was?

[@rexajobly]

they play a different song before fireworks now :(

[@nerine313]

Busindre reel - Hevia.

[@5ONE41]

Those photos are amazing. Did you take them yourself?

[@Sathiyyah]

16 more days!!!

[@bradwilson525]

So how was your trip seven years ago? Such a different world than today

[@Kanobi26]

Does this music still play before the IllumiNations show?

[@matthewreynolds2208]

Kanobi26 as far as I know it does

[@Wickedsoccer22]

No. I wish I could give credit to the original takers but I have no idea who they are.

[@CaptainJSparrow1010]

had to be professionally taken and redone on a computer to rehance them

[@heathermcconnellsellsflorida]

They are getting ready to get rid of this show and get a new show.
