ABOUT THE SONG
"Lava" is a heartwarming song featured in the Pixar short film of the same name, released in 2014 alongside "Inside Out." Written and performed by James Ford Murphy, the film's director, this musical piece tells the poignant tale of a lonely volcano who dreams of finding love. Set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, "Lava" captivated audiences with its charming melody and touching lyrics. Interestingly, Murphy was inspired to create the song after a trip to Hawaii, where he learned about the geological phenomenon of "lava love," wherein volcanic islands are formed through the gradual accumulation of lava over millions of years. This sweet and sentimental tune continues to resonate with viewers of all ages, capturing the timeless essence of love and longing.
