- “Breathe” from the 2021 Motion Picture “In The Heights” directed by the incredible Jon M. Chu
Performed by the unreal Leslie Grace, written by the outstanding Lin-Manuel Miranda.
We do not own the rights or credits to this song nor the picture.
I just love the fact that Nina sings in english while the barrio answers in spanish. It marks a cultural difference between who left and those who stay.
Realmente, uma dualidade interessante
Basically this song is my favourite song in the whole movie and i haven't noticed that...
хАрАшЕЧНА
This embodies the responsibility that us children of immigrants, especially those of us who are first generation to attend college, have to face. The imposter syndrome, the pressure to make the sacrifices of our parents worth it. All embodied in this song. So powerful.
@The Guy Who Knows Some Guys didn’t say they didn’t ❤️ Nina (this character) and many of the other characters are children of immigrants or immigrants themselves, imposter syndrome especially when we go to college or begin our careers is unfortunately very common that’s the specific scenario I was commenting on.
It wouldn’t be a problem if not for all those bigoted assholes that children of immigrants, like Nina, have to put up with
2nd generation on my dad's side. I want to do so much more but I'm stuck in "the biggest disappointment you know"
It's hard when you try but you are cut down saying you are trying too hard
@@gabbied6171 Hey love, you're not alone in that feeling. I come back to this song every now and then when I feel as low as Nina felt in this scene, as low as you might have been feeling recently. Whatever struggles you're facing is only temporary, and whatever goals you are working hard towards remember to stop and rest along the way. Sending you love
@The Guy Who Knows Some Guys But more in the case of sensitive dreamers, who are made to feel pressured, to succeed the way others expect. We are not valued, too often, for being ourselves, and making our own choices.
This song never fails to get me teary eyed! The pressure of making our parents proud and making their sacrifices coming to this country worth it while dealing with the crushing guilt when we fail or don't meet their standards
Leslie has such a beautiful voice. This whole scene was so powerful. And I love how they show Nina when she was little (played by Ariana Greenblatt).
Its pretty amazing how this movie might set the threshold for future stars, cuz a lot of the main cast (and even Ariana Greenblatt in Barbie) have moved to even bigger projects and bigger roles. Unfortunately Leslie Grace rlly got screwed by Warner Bros. But Melissa Barrera in leading Scream 5 & 6. Anthony Ramos heading a major blockbuster like Transformers (but more importantly big roles in that Dumb Money ‘biopic’ and in a new Twister movie). And Corey Hawkins in that new Dracula movie. Not all first-round picks for movies but its awesome to see that while this movie didn’t do so well, the actors are getting picked up for starring roles
Hearing this for the first time was like hearing my own feelings put into music. I was born and raised in South America, in a poor community. I could see the ocean from my window, eyes lost in the horizon, always dreaming of beyond. I learned English and Portuguese on my own, got a scholarship to study in the US. I left. And while I was away, everyone always thought so proudly of me, "the girl that made it". If they could only see me. I'm not who they think I am. I struggle. I'm not a brilliant student, although I'm sure I'm smart. I work 2 or more jobs at times while I study. It's hard. But no one believes it. They're convinced I'm this superhuman who can do anything. I feel that all of it is wrong. That I should've never left, that I'm not the star child everyone thinks I am. But they're unaware of my reality. Unaware of my flawed self.
I continue to work hard, always balancing on the tight rope, between succeeding, and just giving up.
If I have children one day, I hope the experiences I've been through can make me a deeply empathetic and supportive mother.
Te comprendo perfectamente, el peso que se tiene que enfrentar como primera generación de hijos de inmigrantes, sobre todo las hijas, es abrumador, perp ya estás ahí, amiga, ya eres algo de lo que tú familia puede estar orgullosa y tú también. De un extraño, espero que todos tus sueños se cumplan y nunca te olvides de dónde viniste, que puedes encontrar una comunidad en latam y en nuestras raíces. Y no soy creyente de ninguna religión, pero realmente a personas cómo tú, solo puedo desearle bendiciones y que sean guiadas con buena estrella. Ten una buena vida. ❤
I have no way to actually relate to your experiences, but have you ever thought: is this what you actually want to do? Does this make you in any way satisfied, gives you any sense of worth, purpose, happiness, hope for the future? Is this what you actually want out of life? And if not, is there any way for you to take some other path?
This just made my heart break. As someone who is Latina and is going to a big university, who has the “whole world at her feet” I feel this pressure. You feel never enough and like the biggest disappointment.
I’m not Latino but after returning home last year after trying to be out on my own, and failing, I was the same. I couldn’t help but feel like a disappointment when I thought I had it all made, but it didn’t work out like I hoped.
You are and never will be a disappointment. No matter who you are or what you do, if you are trying your best and trying to be who you truly are, that is what matters most.
She was cast perfectly and I cried watching this
The translation from the Spanish parts are this
(0:20)"He/she (impersonal sentence in Spanish) keep walking the road for all his/her life (Breath) (1:12) and if you loose my steps, god will bless you (Breath)
(1:28) I adore you I love you
(1:53) Nina, I'm not worried about her (2:03) Nina, there is our star,( the literally translation from the next one will be, "she give the measure", It's an expression that means she is able to, or something like that)
If you want to ask me about other parts in the movie that they speak Spanish, give me a comment here.
Que tengáis buenas noches
Ella da la talla también lo puedes interpretar como "She's up for the challenge".
@@henrikanchelia64 verdad
this songs means so much to me. i'm the oldest daughter, my mum has sacrificed so much for my education. She's a single mum whos put me thru private school my entire life. she works thru injuries, mental health, the fact that she could go back to her family, she keeps working so me and my brother can succeed. In lockdown, my grades started slipping, i could hardly find the motivation to wake up in the morning let alone study. now, it the worlds first proper year back and i refuse to be a disappointment. I'm going to do good, i can't be anything but.
I’m so sorry you’re in this situation D:
2:26 CHIIILLS!!! This part of the song matching with the camera showing her life along the years... again Chills
After seeing Encanto, I hear Waiting on a Miracle at 2:10. Not surprising since it's Lin Manuel Miranda 💞 But this came first than Encanto so you can see the genius behind the sound
I think that's just you
I hear it too!
Good catch! Now I can hear it too
you can also find similar beats in The Room Where It Happens and Surface Pressure. he knows what works!
these songs are both in 3/4 time while all the others songs in their respective works are in 4/4!
I can’t physically hear this song without crying
I think it's so important to note how Nina remains standing and doesn't collapse. Honestly, the mental weight of burnout, academic pressures, and being conscious over people's perception of you would be reason enough to feel like physically falling down the street. I know part of it is because Nina doesn't want her shame to be present to everyone so she saves face, but another part of it is a testament to her emotional strength.
May 2024 and this song still sounds so beautiful 🥺
One of the most beautiful scenes of the film. Thanks for sharing it!
you’re welcome!
@@theworldofcinema7933there’s are shamefully few clips from this movie published on TH-cam. Its been two years since, and unlike West Side Story or any Lin-Manuel Miranda production big musical, there’s so little youtube clips for people to discover or even relive parts of this movie. Thx for sharing it. This movie really was a hidden gem i feel, should’ve had a proper theatrical release.
Lin's Parents at 1:01 😭
This song is so powerful to me. My parents are both immigrants from Dominican Republic. My mom had me when she was young, she played the Latina stereotype, while my dad has been working himself to the bone since he found out about me. When I was little, I lived in the Heights, and every year, i would get into the “gifted and talented” program. My mom would say that she didn’t want to take me from my friends, but we just didn’t have the money. I knew. My entire life I’ve been the smartest, the first in everything. The first one with dreams within reach. The only person putting pressure on me is myself. To make my parents proud, to make my barrio proud. My whole life, i’ve been juggling my Dominican-ness, while trying to be the perfect girl for interviews, the perfect girl for teachers, but the perfect girl is white. i hate having to act different, but it has to be done to make everyone proud. If i slip up even a little bit, my life is over, everything I’ve worked for, is done. If I end up like Nina, how will I go on?
I'm just gonna say this as someone who is Dominican and the proud of who they are be proud of you. Dominican ness, let it shine. Let the fact that you are from the beautiful island nation be a part of you.
How's life working out for ya since this comment?
Idk why but I kinda teared up when I first saw this and Kevin called to Nina- I wasn’t expecting it but it was so wholesome😭
In the Heights is a Great movie. A mixture of high energy and a heart of Gold. The best movie of the 2020's so far
This scene is so relatable for me cause I literally went through the same thing so I connect to this it on an emotional level
Perfect casting. I first heard the soundtrack before seeing the movie and was struck by the wonderful contrast between the sharp, strong, kind of intense beauty of Leslie Grace and her soft, vulnerable, honey-like voice. 😢 She made me feel every bit of emotion Nina must have from her performance. My heart aches for Nina. Plus, I would be devastated having to disappoint Bail Organa too.
I relate a lot to this song. I'm the child of parents who grew up in poverty who managed to climb up somewhat through hard work, determination and a little bit of luck. They sacrificed most of the money they made to put me through private education so that I could get the extra leg up in the world that they never. I'm the first in my family to go to university, and I'm at one of the top 25 universities in the UK, and every time I struggle, or think I can't do it, all I think about is how disappointed they would be. I feel like I have to be something incredible to make up for all that they sacrificed throughout my childhood. I'm just worried I might not be able to do it.
how's it going? are you still doing it?
First time I heard this, I was taken back by the difference of hearing the original so much. But now I really think this is my favorite take, & it constantly makes me cry every time more as you see Leslie Grace’s acting in the song! The original is still amazing & I listen to it more still, but yeah this one really brings the message even more to life 🥺🥹
WHY ARE THERE ONLY 9 COMMENTS THIS SONG IS A BANGER
I have no idea

This scene and movie are so underrated. I absolutely loved this movie. I had waited for it for years. It was worth it ❤
This song never fails to make me sob.
This was so beautifully done.
1st month in grad school and this song is so relevant. 1st one to not only go to college, but to go for a masters and it’s scary.
YOU CAN DO IT
i sobbed through this entire scene 😂 im tearing up now commenting this 😂
every time i watch this movie, this song never fails to make me tear up or cry. I relate to it so much and the lyrics explain it just so perfectly.. Just breathe.
1:01 Dad + Mom Manuel spotted
Now she's our Barbara Gordon can't wait for batgirl
I'm sorry but they sadly cancelled the movie
Even though my own family's immigration story is far, far, far in the rear-view (my Great-grandmother was the last one to speak her family's native language), this is still powerful. The pressure to live up to your parent's expectations is almost universal.
People shouldn’t have to put so much on someone else
This is my street
I smile at the faces I’ve known all my life
They regard me with pride
And everyone’s sweet
They say, “You’re going places"
So how can I say that, while I was away
I had so much to hide?
Hey guys, it’s me
The biggest disappointment you know
The kid couldn’t hack it
She’s back and she’s walkin’ real slow
Welcome home, just breathe
[COMPANY]
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira
[NINA]
Just breathe
[COMPANY]
Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
Respira
[NINA (COMPANY)]
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
I think of the days when this city was mine
I remember the praise
“Ay, te adoro, te quiero” (Te adoro)
The neighborhood waved
And said, “Nina, be brave (Te quiero)
And you’re gonna be fine!” (Respira)
And maybe it’s me
But it all seems like lifetimes ago (Respira)
So what do I say to these faces that I used to know?
“Hey, I’m home?”
[WOMAN]
Mira, Nina
[NINA]
Hey
[COMPANY]
No me preocupo por ella
[NINA]
They’re not worried about me
[COMPANY]
Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella
[NINA]
They are all counting on me to succeed
[COMPANY]
Ella sí da la talla
[NINA (COMPANY)]
I am the one who made it out (Ah)
The one who always made the grade
But maybe I should have just stayed home (Mira, Nina)
When I was a child I stayed wide awake
Climbed to the highest place
On every fire escape
Restless to climb (Respira)
I got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to go to college
How do I tell them why (Respira)
I’m coming back home? (Ah)
With my eyes on the horizon
Just me and the GWB
Asking, “Gee, Nina, what’ll you be?"
Straighten the spine, smile for the neighbors
Everything’s fine, everything’s cool
The standard reply, “Lots of tests, lots of papers"
Smile, wave goodbye and pray to the sky, oh, god
And what will my parents say?
[COMPANY]
Nina
[NINA]
Can I go in there and say…
[COMPANY]
Nina
[NINA]
“I know that I’m letting you down?”
[ABUELA CLAUDIA]
Nina
[NINA]
Just breathe

Hamilton pfp >>>>>>>>
Beautiful job Leslie grace should do more acting
10/10 😎👌✨
hey guys it's me, the biggest disappointment you know 😭
I hate how much I relate to this song
Not me sobbing at 6 AM 😭
I think I fell halfway in love with her ❤️
Me coming back from my physics test
THIS MY FAV CHARACTER!!
My Girlfriend loves this show, especially this song a lot. The melody of this song is like Shenzhen's brightly lit night and golden sunrise. When I hear this song, I think back to the time when I watched the light show in Shenzhen at night and the first scene of sunshine appeared in front of my eyes. Shenzhen is my hometown and I moved to the Bay Area 6 years ago, the last time I flew back to Shenzhen was in 2021, I saw the most stunning light show at OCT Harbour and Talent Park nearby Shenzhen Bay, the colorful and gorgeous light always wakes me up and make me think about her. I hope that I can fly back there again next summer.

That’s very cool

I am sorry to hear about Batgirl being cancelled.
Lol
Sometimes I really be feeling like Nina, I’ve always been a straight A student I’m about to graduate in a year and coming from a poor Latino family I’m really debating if I should do college.
Is the dancing girl supposed to be young Nina?
yes:)
Is another girl that she sees is going down her same path.
Oh hey, look, Barbara Gordon gets a really sweet song. Good for her.
She looks so much like China Ann McLain!
Who came here after hearing IronMouse sing this song? I did :)
LUIS AND LUZ (LMMs parents) ARE THERE!!!!
2:07
0:59 lin manuel’s parents
Never seen this Movie! Came here from Ironmouse´s singing performance. Who else?!
2:26 Nice detail
Nina as a child starts in the living room, goes to the entrance hallway, then the dining room and then back to the living room
Guess she really did go back to where she was
Maybe im wrong but i think here 1:13 the lady in black was doing sign language
I don't think it's sign language, it looks more like normal expressions(?
Ironmouse lead me here
Who came here from ironmouse singing this
Ironmouse
I don't know what places you are going, but it's not with the cape, lmao go woke go broke
Shut up
I'm so happy Batgirl got cancelled.
GO FALL DOWN ON SOME SHARP ROCKS!!!!!😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
Im againts the forced inclusion too but this song is unrelated to so it was unnecesary to comment......
Ironmouse sings this better.
No she doesn’t & not even close. She’s a beautiful singer but she doesn’t. Almost as good if not just as good.
