Line Rider #29 - The Lion King, 'King of Pride Rock' (Hans Zimmer)

Synchronised line riders visualise this piece of music.

The Lion King has some of the best music, and I decided that "King of Pride Rock" would make a great Line Rider. I wanted to experiment with multiple riders riding a bit like a musical score in places, and to generally highlight different instruments at different times. I hope everyone enjoys my take on this piece!

A massive thank you to all my Patrons for supporting me, in particular those who have signed up as Super Patrons:

- Philip Brosnan
- Jeanne Miller
- Jordan Leckband

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? I don't have words to adequately describe the range of feelings I had throughout this whole piece. You are a master. Thank you for continuing to make music visually stunning. 😍

Note: I just noticed the stop is a baby lion cub. 🦁

My first grade students will be among the ones to watch this premiere as it goes live and I am HERE for it.

YOU truly outdid Yourself. It was a Mind-Stunningly Magnificent Masterpiece 🥰

1:02 Actual shivers. It’s clear to me by how the riders are arranged in this track that you understand so much about the dynamics of the piece, and we get the joy of appreciating that with you. Ingenious and breathtaking choreography.

I don't know if I am laughing or crying. This was amazing! Amazing coordination, timing, creativity, and synchronization. I will be sharing this with my Facebook friends.

I love every one of your videos. I know it takes you so much time to do - just know that your efforts are worth it! They bring so much joy.

I think the full orchestra transition at 1:00 is the best sequence you've ever made

And that simba ending 🦁

[EIbereth]

OMG!!! Perfect, beautiful... The drawing at the end of the track... I can't... I'm crying.... BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[LydJaGillers]

not only was this visually pleasing, this song always gives me chills and I love it!!!!

[ariannaayala]

Beautiful moment when it turns into the score with the clefs 😭

[miksterias]

The chills that I always get from this piece were amplified even more by how you ended the video with the Simba drawing! Absolutely perfect!!!

[chingwu]

Love the “circle of life” part and the lion pattern the old monkey drew in Lion King at the end 😆

[BryanLikesCandy]

When I saw this was your next music for Line Rider I thought it was an intersting choice. Now I see it was absolutely inspired.

Fantastic as always, Matthew. Bravo!

Okay, this whole thing was SPECTACULAR, I just want to highlight a few bits

1:01 3 decades since I first heard it, and it STILL gives me chills

2:21 lol, well played Buckley

2:39 and THAT’s a finisher 🥹

[frankbowman]

Had to come watch this again. I have been missing your content so much.
Again I am amazed at how many riders you had racing!
The artistic composition had me holding my breath!

I'm sitting here transfixed; I could completely lose myself in these Line Rider videos for hours. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!
