Two Worlds

"Two Worlds" is a song by English drummer and singer Phil Collins that serves as the main theme for Disney's 1999 film Tarzan and appears four times on the film's soundtrack. Production "Two Worlds" was the first song that Phil Collins wrote for the film. After writing the piece, he collaborated with score composer Mark Manchina to ensure the musical motifs carried throughout the movie. Manchina emphasised the need for cohesiveness in the score, so "the songs didn't sound like they were recorded two years before and just dropped in". The song is a key example of how musical continuity is present across the soundtrack, with "Two Worlds" woven into the musical tapestry of the film multiple times. Phil Collins recorded the song in English (Two Worlds), Spanish (Dos Mundos), Italian (Se vuoi), French (Entre deux mondes), and German (Zwei Welten). In addition to the song's inclusion on the film soundtrack, it was also released as a single. A CD single was released in Japan on August 25, 1999, and in Germany on September 18, 2000. The song appeared on the German Singles Charts for five weeks, peaking at number 43 in October 2000. In the Disney Interactive video game Tarzan Activity Center, an activity entitled "Tarzan's Sing and Swing" gave players the ability to either listen to three Tarzan songs, among them "Two Worlds", or sing along to a karaoke version of them.
