I totally thought that was going to be the big reveal in the movie haha. I thought the grandma interrupting the opening song with a confused expression was a hint in that direction and then how no one sings or dances unless Mirabell is in the scene with them.
@@FallenAngelKystre honestly if her gift was hidden and was just her visualising music videos like she’s in Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist it would’ve made sense
And that she saying she's not strong enough Cause it show that she doesn't want to fail or fall down on her knees You can hear the tone of voice her voice that she doesn't want to fall down
She takes care of her and immediately blocks her from any threat. Even the "keep Going" feels like it's advice for maribel. The rest of the song is catharsis but that moment is for her sister.
I am the oldest sister and this song gets me every single time and brings me to tears. It's sad to see how families put a lot of burden and expectations into a brand new little life. That is why many of us, the oldest siblings out there have in common feeling unheard, not validated, unseen, as if you were going to solve all the family issues yet you have in your power to work on this, transform it, and let it go to prevent passing, as much as you can, to next generations. Personally, this song and let it go from Frozen are two really powerful songs with great lyrics.
The short, happy break before the main chorus comes back is genuinely depressing. It represents that indescribable feeling so well. You get a moment to rest, only to immediately be put back under stress again. You're so used to it by that point that you don't even feel anything but an "ok..." anymore.
To me, the best part is that Mirabel isn’t ever afraid of Luisa. She shows confusion and concern when Luisa starts freaking out, but Luisa is never treated as a freak or monster. Instead, Mirabel clings to her sister for comfort and protection. I love it
at the beginning I think she was a little scared but as the song goes on she relates to her and stops being afraid. Luisa is probably the nicest to Mirabel in the family for example luisa said “watch out sis” instead of isabela’s “stop being in the way sis”
@sugarush magnolia 🌸 Sort of... being overly emotional is seen as a negative as far as the movie is concerned (The most emotional character in the movie is considered a total joke that isn't worth considering and the movie never stops relentlessly tormenting her), and a lot of the movie seems to deem controlling one's emotions as the positive, but not to the point of denial. . The main reason why the movie doesn't treat emotion as the enemy is because the movie is an "internal" battle, not an external one (not even an externalized battle). An external battle tends favor rising above your emotions. A internal battle tends to favor becoming one with your emotions.
This song is absolutely brilliant in that it takes a character that could be a 1-dimensional, the super physically strong character and then gave her an insane amount of depth in a single song.
@@ko7577 ?? thats not what the line meant at all ?? it states that every burden that the family carries was being carried by the eldest, not that the family is burden itself. how did u manage to completely change the message . if there r financial problems , THATS the burden to the family
@@ko7577 Disney is NOT saying family itself is a burden, it is the things that happen in a family that are burdensome NOT that family itself is burden, how slow are you?
I USED to fell like that, but them I realized nobody really cared, my siblings were even more independent than me, then I decided to live selfishly: I decide what I want to do and I measure my own worth, as the saying goes: “before you take care of others you have to be able to take care of yourself”
Same. I'm also an only child, and I constantly put others above myself and do everything I can to help other people because I think it's what I should do, and I only feel satisfied with myself and my actions if it's benefiting someone else and helping or making them happy.
as an only child I feel you. I make one tiny mistake my dad goes beserk and I get damaged emotionally. I wish they would inflict the pain physically cause that would heal. These things made me develop depression and sometimes I just dont eat. One day I got hurt really bad emotionally and i didnt eat. Skipped breakfast, skipped snack,skipped lunch and ate like a tiny portion when it was dinner. I just wish my parents would be happier and proud of me.
The last clip where she literally has the entire weight of the WHOLE town on her shoulders! Such a powerful song. Really makes you think about your own family and the roles people have.
She compares herself to Hercules but the song keeps comparing her to another figure. Atlas. Weight of the world literally on her shoulders in several segments of the song.
a know it’s probably obvious but the visuals and idea of physical “pressure” are amazing representations of what mental pressure really feels like. This song and Luisa’s whole character profile is so relatable and I think that’s why everyone loves this song so much. It’s so common to feel this pressure and the physical representations of it really get the point across.
I love that her insecurities aren't "I'm not pretty like Isabella" or something like that. She is proud of who she is, but it also comes with its own insecurities. "Am I strong enough? Can I carry all of this? I have to, the family depends on me" Gotta love Luisa.
As someone who grew up as this sibling, it's also just this constant pain of "I have to help everyone, and I can't show any weakness ever because everyone looks to me for strength. I can never complain, but my family has no one else to count on." Due to that wiring, people that feel this have never made a song about it before. It cuts deep right to the way that feels. Honestly, you are too caught up in essentially being what your parents are supposed to be that you don't have time to be a kid that worries if you are as pretty as one of your sisters.
as an eldest sibling here, I remember trying not to cry here since my sister and brother are watching Encanto with me so I don't want to show them that I'm being affected by this song since I don't want to put guilt on them, I especially relate to the lyrics "give it to your sister, your sister's stronger" we're always expected to be the strong one, I remember how my aunt told me in the hospital that I can't cry or breakdown infront of my dad or my siblings even tho I'm literally dying inside when my mom died. it hurts how my mom was already buried but I still couldn't cry and only brokedown when I no longer can't hold it, I cried on my friend's shoulder in a school toilet when I returned after missing months of class because I got told that I might need to repeat my whole school year (fortunately my History teacher helped me reaching out to my other subject teachers)
Hope you are hanging in there, I'm sorry you have gone through so much and just hope you are feeling like you can cry / talk when you want and need to.
As the eldest and "responsible one", who always seems to be running around putting out fires and is first to be looked to for solutions to problems, this hit hard.
I'm the eldest, not just of my parents but of the whole generation for my family, I was expected to be responsible. This song is like everything I felt all in that short number
@@M_Noeli Actually, middle children have it the hardest and later on in life have the most trouble. The oldest is usually held up as an example to them and viewed as more of a "golden child."
@@ko7577 it varies between families who's treated lesser, my family, my mom used to abuse my youngest brother the most thank goodness we are out of that house now 🙏🏻
She’s the highlight of the movie, honestly. I thought she was going to be “I’m a female and I’m strong but men underestimate me.” But I was extremely pleasantly surprised when it explored her inner feelings.
My favorite part was that they didn’t pull attention to the fact that she’s a super muscular woman. They treated like a normal thing which it should be.
"I am female and strong and DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE PRESSURE THE FAMILY PUTS ON ME?!" I absolutely love Luisa for being so relatable. I mean. Im not female, or strong, but I do have anxiety, and comments like "Im pretty sure Im worthless if I cant be of service" are so aggressively relatable.
@@stanieldasboot953 Those lyrics make me cry 😭 I've bent over backwards so hard to try to get my parents and family to love me but they never did ☹️ I literally have a spiral injury from being abused, people only see me as a workhorse, a maid, a personal assistant, or their therapist. Nobody in my family ever liked me for who I am, they don't even know who I am. I tried to do everything I could for them but once they finally stretched me too thin and I stopped trying to win their approval, they disown me 😑
"Give it to your sister it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden" and " I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" are the lines that absolutely slay me
I don’t now if anyone’s said this, but I LOVE the animation during the musical numbers. It’s just buttery smooth, and I love the visual language that shows how she’s buckling under the pressure on the inside, while the lyrics are mostly her trying to keep things together on the outside.
I like how further into the song she seems more confident or happier because all that worry she had,she was able to talk it out and feel relieved to get it out of her chest
I genuinely loved that so many of the things asked of Luisa were so trivial, but since her strength comes from magic she is under the family pressure to “earn” her miracle. The townspeople should have easily been able to round up all their own donkeys, but nope, have the strong girl do it. It made the ending so much more powerful when the rest of the town came to rebuild - magic made their lives easier, but the Madrigals are more than the sim of their gifts and don’t need them to find fulfillment. Edit: my bad on the name, y’all. Autocorrect is a bitch
I love the small details here, when Luisa is all alone, the house crushes her for a second, but when Mirabel is under, she manages to carry all of it. I would love to know more about the relationship Mirabel has with her sisters, and maybe even her cousins.
You could kinda see it in the film: Isabella thinks Mirabel is always in the way but allows her to be herself Luisa doesn't wanna be a burden on her Antonio is like the brother she never had Dolores is the one who knows ALL the tea Camilo is more of a jokester
Technically Mirabel wasn't given a gift but she was like the carrier of the Encanto because of her family values. She made the house come back to life, she basically predicted Antonio's gift, she wanted to make her grandma proud, as she learned more about all her family members she no longer only worked to fix the magic but promised them all a better life once it was all solved, making Bruno come back, Luisa take a break, Isabella be herself and not marry who she doesn't want, hook up Dolores with who she thought she'd never end up with
Oddly enough, i appreciate this song more as a younger sibling. It genuinely reminds me of my older siblings about the pressure they feel as the oldest and the ones who have the weight of our parents' expectations on them constantly. How often they protected the younger siblings from feeling such things
I adore how comfortable this singer is in this vocal range, we don’t hear a lot of deep woman’s voices and it’s so interesting to hear. It reminds me of bo burnham’s vocal performance, while he isn’t doing insane runs and hitting whistle notes, he’s adapted it to fit into his voice and music. Same can be said about the voice actress Edit: so a lot of people are saying that her voice sounds forced… and uhhh I’d just like to specify that that’s LITERALLY Luisa’s entire character??? Being forced to be something she’s not?
I actually feel a little opposite of it. She has the range but to me it sounds like she doesnt have the timbre of an alto which is what I really crave from a disney movie. It sounds like she's trying to sound low. She has a great tone when shes singing higher though
It’s also amazing that a deeper-voiced woman is giving her voice to a female character interested in traditionally feminine things (unicorns, her dancing style is traditionally feminine, she likes the color pink, etc…)
@@CoconutMigrationCommittee True, but when she sings about those things her voice immediately goes higher as well, so they basically ruined this connection to me. Instead they only use the deep part for pressure and suffering due to her strength, which isn't exactly a positive connection. As a deep contra-alto (I tend to sing in the male part of a choir), I really wouldn't mind some more positive representation
"give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden" made me ugly cry in the movies, the writing in this song is impeccable.
All the lyrics for Encanto’s 8 songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie. The music for Encanto was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer.
The second time I heard it was when it hit me. Those lyrics play in my head over and over. Today I send my mother this song... She still doesn't get it. Unlike the movie my family doesn't get a happy ending with a reunion. I ran away from them before I wasted more years of my life alone and broken for people who don't see me or my struggles. They just expect things of me because I'm family. 😭
Everyone is understandably in awe of her appearance, being feminine with big muscles, but what stood out to me was her voice. Having a character with a deep voice that is still celebrated in song and isn't at any point the butt of the joke is so rare, I love it so much.
Yeah me too! Her voice was the first that took my attention and that made me come back to listen the song again and again. I also love the glotal stop when she says moun'ains. Strong, buff, but still feminine. I love Luisa too. I loved the endscene where she's slung in a hammock and offered a drink, like "Here girl, you damn well deserved this. Enjoy."
As a deep voiced woman this stood out so much. Alto women are the villains or the old maids. Not the reliable, beloved sibling. My whole life I've had one Disney song that wasn't a guys part I could sing and it was Ursula who was based on a drag queen. That's what people think of my deep voice. There are a handful of songs by some of the mezzo-soprano princesses that I can sing, but those are few and far between and often have a high note that kills it. But here's a true alto song by a character who's not elderly and not evil.
Even moreso, when she sings about her confidence, her voice is deep. When she's singing about her dreams and fears, it's higher. So confidence is shown as deep, anxiety as high.
I think, historically, people have pigeonholed female vocal ranges . It took a long time to recognize the value of black gospel song styles that defy the "rules" of mainstream vocal training. This and Lego Movie 2's Not Evil (Tiffany Haddish) both push the limits, being great songs with female vocalists that don't have the "standard female vocal" delivery.
Love how this song reaches out to so many people, especially older siblings as you’re expected to take care of your younger siblings when you’re parents aren’t around while also needing to deal with school and a job in some cases. It feels like too much and as if a single mistake will ruin everything so you push yourself into a situation where you feel as if you’re carrying your family on your back
Let's be honest, this song hits hard for every older sibling but there's a very crucial part of the animation that needs to be talked about. When the final chorus starts, you can see Luisa afraid while holding the falling rocks. It's such a powerful and scary thing that perfectly enhances the weight of the lyrics. Edit: so I'm seeing a lot of people talking about middle siblings and stuff. I'd like to clarify. "Older sibling" does not mean OLDEST sibling. I'm not the oldest, I'm the second of four. I was the middle child for 8 years. For those of you who would like attention for middle or even youngest children.
I'm not the older sibling but my sister left the house because my mom just gives everything to another person and blames them for everything. I always get blamed I'm never off duty she tells me one thing I do it but she claims she said something else or I messed up. To her I am never good enough. She does things that she says I'm never allowed to do
For me it hits for the message of wanting to carry my family under my shoulders even though I am the youngest sibling in my family at age 17 that will be going to college soon. I am always watching over my older siblings and helping them out with their task for I am the tallest member of my family so I can naturally help reach places that they cant reach naturally, as well my family is putting all their fate in me to accomplish my goal of becoming a RN and the first member of the family to get a job in the medical field and hopefully later on a anesthesiologist. All of these of mind are to help people but to also help my family by getting a good job to help make a brighter future for our family.
Throughout the song, she is protecting Mirabel from everything still. She’s still smiling, still fighting, still protecting the whole time. Also, she says “a light wind blows,” but it is a tornado. Showing how much she withstands. I also like how they show “the weight of the world” on her, and how she catches everything to protect Mirabel and the donkeys (which is a good name for her family lol)
Ya know it’s probably obvious but the visuals and idea of physical “pressure” are amazing representations of what mental pressure really feels like. This song and Luisa’s whole character profile is so relatable and I think that’s why everyone loves this song so much. It’s so common to feel this pressure and the physical representations of it really get the point across.
Yes! I also love how, even tho it's her song and we are seeing *her* internal struggles, she still puts Mirabel as a priority in every step and tries to keep her safe, for she's protecting her not only from physical harm but also from her mental burdens
As an older siblings, this hits hard and the amount of pressure I put on myself to be the example and strong for both my siblings and family. Still a great song
"I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service." And "Give it to your sister it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden." Hit me in the chest watching this. The pressure of always being the strong one and carrying the weight of everything is such a universal experience, but we all seem to have different pieces that specifically resonate with each of us. Another masterpiece by Lin Manual Miranda and what a phenomenal big screen debut for Jessica Farrow. Was shocked when she didn't have any other discography listed.
I agree it does hit, especially to me being the oldest cousin and siblings of both sides of the family... the kiddos look up to me to much and the adults have a lot of expectations on me as well... mate im only 15-
I know it’s so precious, even while telling her how hurt she is she can’t ever stop (in her eyes, and because of Abuelas influence) she’s still helping while being vulnerable. The hug at the end was so precious, my favorite part in the movie tbh.
And when Mira looks uncomfortable or scared by Luisa’s strength and the burden she’s carrying, that’s when Luisa starts dancing. Even though she’s still singing about her burdens and struggles, she’s doing a fun dance as if to show Mirabel “see, it’s okay. We’re having fun” even though the fun part is all on the outside. It’s just for show to make Mirabel feel better.
Well if people can't carry it all, they end up homeless, starving, and alone, so I hope this character realizes that what she's experiencing is just... life
@ko7577 your mummy probably didn't teach you mental health is a thing did she honey?She didn't tell you that people often have mental issues and not only physical ones, conditions that they just can't deal with alone, and they get treated for them huh? How about you go to a psychiatrist to find out? And solve that shtload of issues you've got going on? Who hurt you hun? Educate urself before you come back here, you're pitiful
We don't talk about Bruno is such a masterpiece, but this song is the one that is so relatable it hurts. I love that immediately after the song ends Luisa gets a hug, because girl needs it!
Indeed. Any person who has been "that person" for their family or pseudo-family knows this feeling. I couldn't talk about this song to anyone without choking up. It hits home way too hard, heh
Yeah this one is hands down better than "...Bruno" imo. I don't get why that one gets all the press when this one is not only extremely relatable but also insanely catchy
Personally, I think the reason we see that Luisa is constantly protecting Mirabel in this song is because she never wants her to feel how Luisa thinks shed feel without her gift (worthless). The difference between Luisas relationship with Mirabel and Isas relationship with Mirabel is really cool to see. Luise clearly loves Mirabel so much and wants to her/protect her, whereas Isa sees Mirabel as "getting off easy". She doesnt have a gift, so Isa sees that as he not having to provide anything for the town or family. This movie is so good.
And just to add, you have to think for everything Luisa is going through (the idea she's only useful for what she can provide) she can relate to that "worthless" feeling; her strength isn't really "hers" but for the benefit of everyone around her. There's a kindred spirit there, and being the older sibling, a protective instinct (obviously.) So, so much depth. And as the younger siblings myself, I can see Luisa in my sister a bit: stronger than she ever should have had to be. ❤
@Ban this youtube YES! I feel much like that. I feel like I can never show my brother that I am weak, even though he already knows that, but I feel that he feels that double. Because though he is the "baby" of the family, he is the strongest (mentally, and emotionally) and he doesn't want us to see him in his weakness, and he is condoling us and giving therapy!
Now that you mention it, Isa didn't care if Mirabel got smacked around in the early part of her song lol. The more you think about this movie, the better it gets
I love how during the song, even though Luisa is letting out her insecurity and stress of being the strongest one in the family, she still keeps Mirabel safe. Its quite cute and its genuinely sweet to see. Despite her being tired and stressed and everything, she doesnt take it out on Mirabel. She saves her from danger with her strength, aka what shes stressed and what shes pressured about, which I find genuienly heart wrenching. Its bittersweet...and i love it Oh, not to mention how despite her brute strength, she's gentle to Mirabel, like how she carefully adjusts her glasses.
This is one of the most powerful songs to come out of a Disney film, to me. It chokes me up- there's so much to take in and ur given slight relief before made to essentially bottle it back up, and my heart goes out to the many people experiencing that same generational trauma.
1940s generational trauma: World War II and 50 million deaths worldwide 1950s generational trauma: Vietnam war 1960s generational trauma: race riots, segregation, Vietnam 1970s generational trauma: Rolling blackouts, high crime rate, Vietnam 1980s generational trauma: The worst inflation in the country's history and the financial death of the working class 1990s generational trauma: Race riots, terrorism, high crime rate 2000s generational trauma: 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq wars, recession 2010s generational trauma: COVID-19 2020s generational trauma: Helping little sister with math, being asked to do dishes, and "responsibility that cuts into Fortnite time"
"Give her all the heavy things, we can't shoulder" "Give it to your sister and never wonder, if the same pressure would have pulled you under"...you can really see in this song, and also especially these lines, that she has the most pressure to carry than the family, but she needs to stay strong because everybody expects that from her....This is my favorite disney song, because it really shows the flaws of being the oldest of the family and still needs to be perfect, or the family would break
not to be rude, but not all older children have all the responsibilities and stuff. the oldest isnt the care holder of the family, ur only saying that bc ur the oldest..my brother is the oldest and all he has to do is game all day, and the family wont break because of you u arent the boss the parents are 💀
I get that's it's not true for you, but that comment was a bit rude. It's true for them and a lot of other people and generally the oldest does end up with a lot more responsibility, even if you don't always see it. And there are a lot of people with absent parents or who have to take on more pressure even if their parents are there just because of personal things
@@luvemrie LMM said he wrote this song with his older sister in mind, because she had to take on the burden of being a third parent for him when his parents were busy or unable to be around. So, you know, it is specifically speaking from the perspective of an older sibling.
She beats up obstacles with power and thrust while she carries and holds her sister gently and delicately. She knows how to balance strength and tenderness. Edit: Please be nice to Whitebolls92. We disney kids know better than to be mean.
@@whiteydiamond does that mean it can't be analyzed or have a thought out response to it? This false narrative on cartoons is so dumb lol. Even the silliest and stupidest pieces of media usually have some form of lesson you can take something from. Maybe open your mind a bit and start seeing things for media rather than just a "cartoon"
@@whiteydiamond and cartoons can be deeper than what is shown. Why did you even comment that? Looks to me like you’re the one that needs to simmer down because you felt some kind of way so much you had to comment.
I love how in almost every shot pretty much she was protecting her little sister. Really pushing home how much she is there for her family "in service" to them as her only purpose, and that scene where she's holding her over the steep cliff and it cracks translates to me that doing that is breaking her, constantly dragging her down to save everyone, to hold them up. Pressure in other words. Its a really good song made better with good visuals.
Agreed!! Literally was able to use this line in therapy and now working through the trauma and misbelief that I’m ONLY as good as what I PROVIDE. Such a powerful song and film overall!!
This song made my mom cry. She related with it as she was the oldest of her siblings growing up in Mexico. From like 8 yrs old she was basically expected to be a third adult in the family while all of her sibiling had full license to be kids. I love that the makers made sure to do their research with this movie.
For all of you who relate to this song. Relax your shoulder, Relax your jaw and remember its not selfish to say no and know your worth and limitations. No human alive is perfect. Why should you be?
@@ko7577 I don't think you do understand, at least not right now. You somehow equate relaxing one's jaw and accepting one's imperfections with being whiny. You are making many leaps to get there. Doing the dishes occasionally is not overwhelming, but there are many situations that ARE overwhelming. Can you not see that? I'm not sure what's going on in your life that makes you frustrated with people who need a break. But please, either try to show some compassion, or stop harassing people in this comment section. You're just embarrassing yourself.
Everyone’s talking about “we don’t talk about Bruno” but I like this song it’s pretty good. Props to Jessica Darrow her vocals are insane. Was gonna skip this movie but I’m so glad I watched it. I hope they make a Disney+ series for the other characters. Also fun fact you might not have noticed the ship says madrigal.
I agree!! The body language is amazing as well! Facial expressions and body language are most important parts of communication so it's amazing to see it done so well in animation. Makes them seem way more realistic!
This movie is a masterclass on cloth simulation. The way all the dresses flow. The shirts rincle and stretch. I can not get over the fabrics in this movie.
As the oldest sister, that had to deal with depression and the damage my parents inflicted to the Psyche of me and my sisters. This is the story of my life
This whole song is nothing but bars. And great message of how many deal with struggles and keep going. two of my favorite bars is : "Diamonds and Platinum, I find'em and flatten'em. and Pressure's like a drip drip drip that'll never stop. Whoa! Pressure that'll tip tip tip til you ready to pop! Luissa killed this..man
The first time I heard this song, I felt so shocked, Lin articulated every experience I have as the oldest of four siblings. But that line hit song hard I couldn't cry because it took eveything out of me. I inhaled and BAWLED.
@@redisthecoolestcolour When he talked about writing this song in an interview he explained how it was first-hand experience growing up with his sister.
I love how, even though Luisa is struggling with all of her pressure, she still, through the song, cares for Mirabel. Always catching the rocks before they fall, standing in front of the boulders, stopping to adjust her glasses, etc. It just shows her character and how good of a sister she is.
I love how this song not only talks about physical strength, but mental strength as well and constantly having to feel like you need to be strong on both ends of the spectrum.
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks, no mistakes" and "give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would have pulled you under" both those lines and how they were delivered were simply phenomenal.
2:33 I love that during this whole part Mirabel really sees past everything and has a connection with her sister. You can see in her face how devastated she is to see her sister under so much weight. But then Luisa breaks into dance and makes it fun again as not to worry Mirabel because this whole time she's been protecting her both physically and emotionally.
"I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service." "Give it to your sister it doesn't hurt, see if she can handle every family burden." "Give it to your sister and never wonder, if the same pressure would've pulled you under." As an older sister of 4 who has been babysitting since I was 9 or 10 and has had some difficult conversations with my parents, I relate to these lines a bit too much.
The line "Was Hercules ever like 'Yo I dont wanna fight Cerberus'" is severely underrated in my opinion because this line equates the duty/responsibility that was expected of Hercules to the duties/responsibilities Luisa just assumes
I think eis more like be stronger dont make you more fearless... Luisa is the only one she can fight any danger even if she is to scared for doing so, is you do or you do... She can have fear or anything.
There were tons of examples they could have gone for there. They picked a great one, because it frames her mindset perfectly. The absurd level or thought that went into this film is a huge part of what makes it so good.
Hercules had to do "labors" that he probably didn't want to do, for the faults of another (Hera). Luisa has so much pressure from her abuela to do all these things she doesn't want to do too. Some from the movie being rerouting rivers, fixing leaning houses, rounding up donkeys and carrying them on her back, etc. She's the only one you see through the movie constantly working, even when she loses her gift. It isn't assumed, it's laid out clear as day.
Love this song, as the young sibling it makes a person realise some things about your oldest sister. I also loved how the donkey were afraid then were dancing along near the end. 😂
“Give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would’ve pulled you under” 3:07 girl, you have a beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Edit: thanks for all the likes 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I absolutely LOVE the detail of the final 'domino' Luisa is struggling to hold up is her own door, showcasing the tremendous weight of it and how hard it is to carry the responsibility of having one of the strongest gifts in her family. Feeling the need to protect everyone because of it, especially her younger sister Mirabel. She may be able to move mountains and churches but nothing is heavier than the burden of having your beloved town and family rest on your shoulders.
Similar I like the scene from 2:30 on! Red for danger as the pressure piles on with the saddness and fear on her, blue for safety as she protects them all as she is confident and unwavering. It really shows how she is feeling compared to what she shows and does.
@@nightbane2889 Adding on to this: the blue there representing safety is ironic, as the blue appears with their house, and that's what nearly puts her under, more than any of the other things she lifts. It shows even more so that while she protects her family from danger, the biggest danger to her is them, and the pressure they place on her. I know that's what the entire song's about, but they show tell it again, all of it, right there with the colors and house.
I think its sad she says, "I glow cause I know what my worth is", just shows how bad things are in the encanto that her abuela tells her the worth of her gift
Honestly, I think that EVERY older sibling feels this way xD So much pressure to keep the family together, pressure to protect the siblings, etc. Take your pick
I love that this song isn't just about her being physically strong, but apparently the family has been placing every burden and problem directly on her shoulder to the point that she feels obligated to handle all of it, not just physically but emotionally too.
@@TrueWizardry Abuela isn't being intentionally malicious. She does genuinely care for her family, but like many older people in the real world who grew up during tough times, that fear of losing everything you built and returning to those "dark days" can cloud your judgement and perspective. A simple but common example being how a grandmother who lived off of very little food growing up having the tendency to fatten up her grand children whenever they visit. Their deep rooted fear of not having enough food to go around can spur them to keep overfeeding their grand kids as an understandable, but unhealthy expression of love.
That’s exactly how it is for me I pushed myself too far I tried to take in all of my loved ones problems because I’m a man… I’m supposed to do that, right? Well I guess not because now I’m a complete wreck… lol I remember when I was an extreme nationalist I used to compare it to France vs the US mentality of “NEVER SURRENDER” and “I SURRENDER” well, I guess I’m the French because I surrender.
@@TrueWizardry From my perspective the issue with Abuela is that she's so obsessed with this positive opinion people have of her perfect and superpowered family that she puts the needs of the people above the needs of any individual. She doesn't even see her family as people anymore, but as powers and services that they can provide. If you notice their powers have very little to do with what they're expected to do for the town, at least with Luisa and her sisters. The oldest daughter can make plants at will. She can solve world hunger with a flick of her finger and all Abuela sees her as is a flower maker and someone pretty to marry off so that she can have great grandkids at some point. Luisa is super strong and super durable so she literally functions as a work horse for everyone in town even stuff that they could be doing for themselves. And because the main character is powerless she's seen as a burden and not even part of the family. Abuela didn't even bother having a room for her made the hard way because her powers didn't manifest in a way that gave her one magically. The way the village views her family is so important to her that when a door opening happens she invites the entire village and has this massive speech about using their gifts to benefit the the people of the village. Abuela is just horrible and that horrible-ness eventually destroys the the house which is used symbolically to represent the family. As you can see in Luisa's song the heaviest thing that nearly crushes her is the house specifically which as I stated is symbolic of the family.
@@J-manli Intentionally or unintentionally malicious she's still despicable as a person. We can view this by looking at the powers themselves and how they function. On Luisa's side of the family her mother and sisters all have powers based on servicing people. the mother heals people with her cooking, the older sister can grow plants for beautification (though her major contribution to the family according to Abuela is that she's beautiful and easy to marry off, not her power). Luisa is a literal work horse for everyone else in the town (which is why they place her alonside donkeys which are also "beasts of burden"). And of course the main character has no power and is therefore seen as useless. Then you have Antonio's side of the family. All of which are specifically dedicated to gathering information which allows Abuela to remain in control over the village. Shapeshifting, super hearing, talking to animals, and of course the mother's near random weather powers based on emotions. Then you have Bruno. His power was to tell the future, but he usually foresees disasters or negative events, he doesn't change the future or control anything, he just sees what's going to happen and even that's usually just a possibility. This isn't something that Abuela can market off of so she ends up shunning him and treating him badly because he doesn't benefit her directly. That makes Abuela a straight up villain, she might not be as obvious as other Disney villains, but she's manipulative and horrible.
As a trainee therapist I can approve from this movie, loiuse is always thinking she needs be strong for her family, but deep down underneath the surface she has a weak side that she scared to show her family or everyone. And bruno is someone wandering in theor negative mind
"This growing pressure keeps growing, keep going." I love this sentence, both in its meaning, and Jessica's own voice. And the dance moves throughout the songs, are amazing. The fact that they were done by real dancers as a model.
the whole song is meaningful and deeply touches the heart, the pain and everything thats under our mask. Luisa's face at the end. Seriously, broke my heart.
for me, it wasn't the ending face but the one at 2:36 that gets me- where she's looking at her sister as she's slowly losing her grip on the rocks piling on her. It's like her little moment of weakness before snapping out of it and putting on her strong face again as the friggin house falls on her.
the beautiful face expressions when shes taking on the rocks and then the house. the fear in her eyes as she looks at her sister, asking for help, but then she realizes she has to handle it herself- so she looks away. its fucking beautiful..
I don't think it's her asking for help. It's her realizing the fallout if she isn't strong enough, i.e. her sister's demise. She can't stop because her family depends on her. So she's able to find the strength to do what she's always done.
@@incaseofamnesia6380 Honestly, I tear up at this spot every time. Like the anxiety and weight she has to carry, and the fear of the fallout. Ugh! Such a real thing!
Major oldest sister sibling vibes every lyric I could relate to,which is comforting because i know there are others who feel the same way in the comment section💙💙
Can we just talk about how emotional the part where everything falling on her is and how worried Maribel is but she knows it’s not something she could do. It just hits so hard 😩
@@spencerwwu Essentially it means she'll bear every burden she can no matter how heavy and painful it might be. And while she might be in pain, emotional pain anyway, she won't say anything or crack under the pressure despite how much she might want to.

Who’s here in 2024? Edit:Yeah this is the most liked comment I’ve ever gotten
Me

Ja!!
Hola

Mirabel's gift is to turn people's inner thoughts and emotions into fully choreographed music videos
Edit: holy shite this blew up
I totally thought that was going to be the big reveal in the movie haha. I thought the grandma interrupting the opening song with a confused expression was a hint in that direction and then how no one sings or dances unless Mirabell is in the scene with them.
@@FallenAngelKystre honestly if her gift was hidden and was just her visualising music videos like she’s in Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist it would’ve made sense
SPOILER!! She doesn't have a gift because the door disappeared when she tried to open it
Her gift is keeping the family united
She spoiler
Is to become the family head and take over as the holder of the candle and to keep the harmony
I just love how throughout this song she's protective of Mirabel, like how she fixes her glasses its just a small but cute lovable gesture 🥺
And that she saying she's not strong enough
Cause it show that she doesn't want to fail or fall down on her knees
You can hear the tone of voice her voice that she doesn't want to fall down
I was hoping I wasn't the only that noticed that
@TommyGaming 🅥 why are you pretending to be someone you're not
Dang it I was going to comment that lol
She takes care of her and immediately blocks her from any threat. Even the "keep Going" feels like it's advice for maribel. The rest of the song is catharsis but that moment is for her sister.
I am the oldest sister and this song gets me every single time and brings me to tears. It's sad to see how families put a lot of burden and expectations into a brand new little life. That is why many of us, the oldest siblings out there have in common feeling unheard, not validated, unseen, as if you were going to solve all the family issues yet you have in your power to work on this, transform it, and let it go to prevent passing, as much as you can, to next generations. Personally, this song and let it go from Frozen are two really powerful songs with great lyrics.
Yeah I'm The oldest sibling in my family and I relate to most of the things she's singing
Me too except I am an only child and I still can relate
i’m the youngest and have 2 older brothers so in a way i can somewhat relate to all 3 sisters
Same I relate so much I cried the whole time.
Just a reminder here that Luisa is the middle child lol
The short, happy break before the main chorus comes back is genuinely depressing. It represents that indescribable feeling so well. You get a moment to rest, only to immediately be put back under stress again. You're so used to it by that point that you don't even feel anything but an "ok..." anymore.
To me, the best part is that Mirabel isn’t ever afraid of Luisa. She shows confusion and concern when Luisa starts freaking out, but Luisa is never treated as a freak or monster. Instead, Mirabel clings to her sister for comfort and protection. I love it
at the beginning I think she was a little scared but as the song goes on she relates to her and stops being afraid. Luisa is probably the nicest to Mirabel in the family for example luisa said “watch out sis” instead of isabela’s “stop being in the way sis”
@@celesteigo231 I think she was worried rather than afraid. The donkeys were for sure afraid, though
SHE EVEN HUGGED HER AT THE END 😭😭😭😭
Common big sister behavior it's hard more spécificités for multiples
@sugarush magnolia 🌸 Sort of... being overly emotional is seen as a negative as far as the movie is concerned (The most emotional character in the movie is considered a total joke that isn't worth considering and the movie never stops relentlessly tormenting her), and a lot of the movie seems to deem controlling one's emotions as the positive, but not to the point of denial.
.
The main reason why the movie doesn't treat emotion as the enemy is because the movie is an "internal" battle, not an external one (not even an externalized battle). An external battle tends favor rising above your emotions. A internal battle tends to favor becoming one with your emotions.
I am OBSSESSED with the “drip drip drip” and the “no cracks, no breaks, no mistakes” at the end. This song is so good
same here
FRR
I Agree ! :)
SAMEE
Same omlll
This song is absolutely brilliant in that it takes a character that could be a 1-dimensional, the super physically strong character and then gave her an insane amount of depth in a single song.
Its like...the entire theme of the movie. They even spell it out in the end. Everyone is more than their abilities.
@@Tophatism I really like that. Also, it shows in how Abuella is one of the most important characters, but doesn't show any powers.
Would have preferred way more time with the character honestly
Mmhmm
She has as much depth as a narcissistic martyr who views human interaction and self-sacrifice as a curse.
2:43 "Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and see if she can handle every family burden." too relatable
it is so good that time i love it
"Family is burden"
- Disney
No wonder they're crumbling
@@ko7577 ?? thats not what the line meant at all ?? it states that every burden that the family carries was being carried by the eldest, not that the family is burden itself. how did u manage to completely change the message . if there r financial problems , THATS the burden to the family
@@ko7577 Disney is NOT saying family itself is a burden, it is the things that happen in a family that are burdensome NOT that family itself is burden, how slow are you?
every Asian relates
“I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service”
Even as someone who has no siblings, this hit hard
I USED to fell like that, but them I realized nobody really cared, my siblings were even more independent than me, then I decided to live selfishly: I decide what I want to do and I measure my own worth, as the saying goes: “before you take care of others you have to be able to take care of yourself”
Same. I'm also an only child, and I constantly put others above myself and do everything I can to help other people because I think it's what I should do, and I only feel satisfied with myself and my actions if it's benefiting someone else and helping or making them happy.
I’m the younger sibling but I’ve gotten hit by it anyway
i feel you
as an only child I feel you. I make one tiny mistake my dad goes beserk and I get damaged emotionally. I wish they would inflict the pain physically cause that would heal. These things made me develop depression and sometimes I just dont eat. One day I got hurt really bad emotionally and i didnt eat. Skipped breakfast, skipped snack,skipped lunch and ate like a tiny portion when it was dinner. I just wish my parents would be happier and proud of me.
The last clip where she literally has the entire weight of the WHOLE town on her shoulders! Such a powerful song. Really makes you think about your own family and the roles people have.
true
And the sun
Guess Luisa carries the whole solar system
Applaud this goddess👏👏👏
She compares herself to Hercules but the song keeps comparing her to another figure. Atlas. Weight of the world literally on her shoulders in several segments of the song.
th-cam.com/video/sXQUG0CMhoI/w-d-xo.html
For real I relate to her strugle my dad had multiple heart attacks when I was a kid and being the only boy I kinda got all the responsibility
"I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service"
That line is like a gut punch every time.
You mean 0:48 ?
a know it’s probably obvious but the visuals and idea of physical “pressure” are amazing representations of what mental pressure really feels like. This song and Luisa’s whole character profile is so relatable and I think that’s why everyone loves this song so much. It’s so common to feel this pressure and the physical representations of it really get the point across.
I love that her insecurities aren't "I'm not pretty like Isabella" or something like that.
She is proud of who she is, but it also comes with its own insecurities. "Am I strong enough? Can I carry all of this? I have to, the family depends on me"
Gotta love Luisa.
This ♥️
This comment needs more likes so it always stays at top. It perfectly explained Luisa's characteristic in just few lines 👏👏👏
As a woman that loves weight lifting, Luisa is my favorite 😍 another woman that can bench press! 🙌
Absolutely my favorite character from Encanto.
As someone who grew up as this sibling, it's also just this constant pain of "I have to help everyone, and I can't show any weakness ever because everyone looks to me for strength. I can never complain, but my family has no one else to count on." Due to that wiring, people that feel this have never made a song about it before. It cuts deep right to the way that feels. Honestly, you are too caught up in essentially being what your parents are supposed to be that you don't have time to be a kid that worries if you are as pretty as one of your sisters.
"Was Hercules ever like 'Yo, i don't wanna fight Cerberus?'" For real. This song is so relatable. My favorite Disney song to date.
so you're saying that the "Was Hercules ever like 'Yo, i don't wanna fight Cerberus?'' is the relatable part?
@@xblox1 not wanting to do something but still doing it.
@@ouran1290 yeah i know it was a joke :)
This is not one of any of my friends favorite songs, but totally disagree
@@xblox1 yes. I am Hercules i can confirm
as an eldest sibling here, I remember trying not to cry here since my sister and brother are watching Encanto with me so I don't want to show them that I'm being affected by this song since I don't want to put guilt on them, I especially relate to the lyrics "give it to your sister, your sister's stronger" we're always expected to be the strong one, I remember how my aunt told me in the hospital that I can't cry or breakdown infront of my dad or my siblings even tho I'm literally dying inside when my mom died. it hurts how my mom was already buried but I still couldn't cry and only brokedown when I no longer can't hold it, I cried on my friend's shoulder in a school toilet when I returned after missing months of class because I got told that I might need to repeat my whole school year (fortunately my History teacher helped me reaching out to my other subject teachers)
Hope you are hanging in there, I'm sorry you have gone through so much and just hope you are feeling like you can cry / talk when you want and need to.
I’m sorry for your loss, you are incredibly strong and I don’t think it’s wrong to show weakness you aunt isnt right and shouldn’t say that
As the eldest and "responsible one", who always seems to be running around putting out fires and is first to be looked to for solutions to problems, this hit hard.
I'm the eldest, not just of my parents but of the whole generation for my family, I was expected to be responsible. This song is like everything I felt all in that short number
Frr us oldest siblings always have it the hardest (just my opinion) 😢
@@jd_knight90 Oh my God, you were expected to be responsible and care for other people?
What a burden that must be lol
@@M_Noeli Actually, middle children have it the hardest and later on in life have the most trouble. The oldest is usually held up as an example to them and viewed as more of a "golden child."
@@ko7577 it varies between families who's treated lesser, my family, my mom used to abuse my youngest brother the most thank goodness we are out of that house now 🙏🏻
She’s the highlight of the movie, honestly. I thought she was going to be “I’m a female and I’m strong but men underestimate me.” But I was extremely pleasantly surprised when it explored her inner feelings.
My favorite part was that they didn’t pull attention to the fact that she’s a super muscular woman. They treated like a normal thing which it should be.
@@thisijchipguy4009 absolutely agree
"I am female and strong and DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE PRESSURE THE FAMILY PUTS ON ME?!" I absolutely love Luisa for being so relatable. I mean. Im not female, or strong, but I do have anxiety, and comments like "Im pretty sure Im worthless if I cant be of service" are so aggressively relatable.
@@stanieldasboot953 Those lyrics make me cry 😭 I've bent over backwards so hard to try to get my parents and family to love me but they never did ☹️ I literally have a spiral injury from being abused, people only see me as a workhorse, a maid, a personal assistant, or their therapist. Nobody in my family ever liked me for who I am, they don't even know who I am. I tried to do everything I could for them but once they finally stretched me too thin and I stopped trying to win their approval, they disown me 😑
I mean its her gift to be strong, I don't think any man in the encanto universe is no where near as strong as her.
"Give it to your sister it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden" and " I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" are the lines that absolutely slay me
For me it’s those but also “give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressures could’ve pulled you under” 😦
I always cry everytime I listen to that part
I crying rn😢
That reminds me off my sister
Felt - i love how i see myself in so many characters 😫
I don’t now if anyone’s said this, but I LOVE the animation during the musical numbers. It’s just buttery smooth, and I love the visual language that shows how she’s buckling under the pressure on the inside, while the lyrics are mostly her trying to keep things together on the outside.
It has life and passion unlike wish
I like how further into the song she seems more confident or happier because all that worry she had,she was able to talk it out and feel relieved to get it out of her chest
I genuinely loved that so many of the things asked of Luisa were so trivial, but since her strength comes from magic she is under the family pressure to “earn” her miracle. The townspeople should have easily been able to round up all their own donkeys, but nope, have the strong girl do it. It made the ending so much more powerful when the rest of the town came to rebuild - magic made their lives easier, but the Madrigals are more than the sim of their gifts and don’t need them to find fulfillment. Edit: my bad on the name, y’all. Autocorrect is a bitch

I love the small details here, when Luisa is all alone, the house crushes her for a second, but when Mirabel is under, she manages to carry all of it. I would love to know more about the relationship Mirabel has with her sisters, and maybe even her cousins.
You could kinda see it in the film:
Isabella thinks Mirabel is always in the way but allows her to be herself
Luisa doesn't wanna be a burden on her
Antonio is like the brother she never had
Dolores is the one who knows ALL the tea
Camilo is more of a jokester
@@ItIsOnlyJonathan Dolores isn’t really a gossip girl she has to keep EVERY secret to herself and she slipped one one that was very important
@@ItIsOnlyJonathan
Also Luisa is mostly civil with her. Not resentful or standoffish like Isabella. Camillo I'd also civil.
Technically Mirabel wasn't given a gift but she was like the carrier of the Encanto because of her family values. She made the house come back to life, she basically predicted Antonio's gift, she wanted to make her grandma proud, as she learned more about all her family members she no longer only worked to fix the magic but promised them all a better life once it was all solved, making Bruno come back, Luisa take a break, Isabella be herself and not marry who she doesn't want, hook up Dolores with who she thought she'd never end up with
I'm hoping Encanto gets a stage version or a TV show spinoff, so we can see more of everybody.
This song is so relatable. Give the songwriter an award already!
Oddly enough, i appreciate this song more as a younger sibling. It genuinely reminds me of my older siblings about the pressure they feel as the oldest and the ones who have the weight of our parents' expectations on them constantly. How often they protected the younger siblings from feeling such things

I adore how comfortable this singer is in this vocal range, we don’t hear a lot of deep woman’s voices and it’s so interesting to hear. It reminds me of bo burnham’s vocal performance, while he isn’t doing insane runs and hitting whistle notes, he’s adapted it to fit into his voice and music. Same can be said about the voice actress
Edit: so a lot of people are saying that her voice sounds forced… and uhhh I’d just like to specify that that’s LITERALLY Luisa’s entire character??? Being forced to be something she’s not?
I actually feel a little opposite of it. She has the range but to me it sounds like she doesnt have the timbre of an alto which is what I really crave from a disney movie. It sounds like she's trying to sound low. She has a great tone when shes singing higher though
It’s also amazing that a deeper-voiced woman is giving her voice to a female character interested in traditionally feminine things (unicorns, her dancing style is traditionally feminine, she likes the color pink, etc…)
@@CoconutMigrationCommittee True, but when she sings about those things her voice immediately goes higher as well, so they basically ruined this connection to me. Instead they only use the deep part for pressure and suffering due to her strength, which isn't exactly a positive connection.
As a deep contra-alto (I tend to sing in the male part of a choir), I really wouldn't mind some more positive representation
@@buecherdrache1 im also a contralto. I really want to see proper mainstream representation of us
nah this shit sounds too forced and yall cant tell me otherwise. If this is her real voice then sorry it's just so repulsive
Some older siblings understand this a little too well
"give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden" made me ugly cry in the movies, the writing in this song is impeccable.
considering it was written by lin manuel miranda (hamilton, 21 chump street, in the heights, etc…) yep!
All the lyrics for Encanto’s 8 songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie. The music for Encanto was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer.
That line out this song played in my head over and over and over.
Interestingly, when Lin Manuel Miranda wrote that song, he had his older sister in mind!
The second time I heard it was when it hit me. Those lyrics play in my head over and over. Today I send my mother this song... She still doesn't get it. Unlike the movie my family doesn't get a happy ending with a reunion. I ran away from them before I wasted more years of my life alone and broken for people who don't see me or my struggles. They just expect things of me because I'm family. 😭
Everyone is understandably in awe of her appearance, being feminine with big muscles, but what stood out to me was her voice. Having a character with a deep voice that is still celebrated in song and isn't at any point the butt of the joke is so rare, I love it so much.
Yeah me too! Her voice was the first that took my attention and that made me come back to listen the song again and again. I also love the glotal stop when she says moun'ains. Strong, buff, but still feminine. I love Luisa too. I loved the endscene where she's slung in a hammock and offered a drink, like "Here girl, you damn well deserved this. Enjoy."
As a deep voiced woman this stood out so much. Alto women are the villains or the old maids. Not the reliable, beloved sibling. My whole life I've had one Disney song that wasn't a guys part I could sing and it was Ursula who was based on a drag queen. That's what people think of my deep voice. There are a handful of songs by some of the mezzo-soprano princesses that I can sing, but those are few and far between and often have a high note that kills it. But here's a true alto song by a character who's not elderly and not evil.
Even moreso, when she sings about her confidence, her voice is deep. When she's singing about her dreams and fears, it's higher. So confidence is shown as deep, anxiety as high.
I think, historically, people have pigeonholed female vocal ranges . It took a long time to recognize the value of black gospel song styles that defy the "rules" of mainstream vocal training.
This and Lego Movie 2's Not Evil (Tiffany Haddish) both push the limits, being great songs with female vocalists that don't have the "standard female vocal" delivery.
@@murrfeeling i mean over the years deeper male voices have been pushed out of the industry too, at least in terms of standalone music.
Love how this song reaches out to so many people, especially older siblings as you’re expected to take care of your younger siblings when you’re parents aren’t around while also needing to deal with school and a job in some cases. It feels like too much and as if a single mistake will ruin everything so you push yourself into a situation where you feel as if you’re carrying your family on your back
The “No Pressure” at the end always brings me to tears disney is truly marvelous musically😢
Let's be honest, this song hits hard for every older sibling but there's a very crucial part of the animation that needs to be talked about. When the final chorus starts, you can see Luisa afraid while holding the falling rocks. It's such a powerful and scary thing that perfectly enhances the weight of the lyrics.
Edit: so I'm seeing a lot of people talking about middle siblings and stuff. I'd like to clarify. "Older sibling" does not mean OLDEST sibling. I'm not the oldest, I'm the second of four. I was the middle child for 8 years. For those of you who would like attention for middle or even youngest children.
>_>
2:33
I'm not the older sibling but my sister left the house because my mom just gives everything to another person and blames them for everything. I always get blamed I'm never off duty she tells me one thing I do it but she claims she said something else or I messed up. To her I am never good enough. She does things that she says I'm never allowed to do
For me it hits for the message of wanting to carry my family under my shoulders even though I am the youngest sibling in my family at age 17 that will be going to college soon. I am always watching over my older siblings and helping them out with their task for I am the tallest member of my family so I can naturally help reach places that they cant reach naturally, as well my family is putting all their fate in me to accomplish my goal of becoming a RN and the first member of the family to get a job in the medical field and hopefully later on a anesthesiologist. All of these of mind are to help people but to also help my family by getting a good job to help make a brighter future for our family.
Weight of the lyrics! It's heavy indeed. Good pun.
I am so thankful they animated that scene of Mirabel hugging her right after this song
2:20 ''This growing pressure, keeps growing keep going, Cause all we know is'' Im so obsessed with that part😋
Throughout the song, she is protecting Mirabel from everything still.
She’s still smiling, still fighting, still protecting the whole time.
Also, she says “a light wind blows,” but it is a tornado. Showing how much she withstands.
I also like how they show “the weight of the world” on her, and how she catches everything to protect Mirabel and the donkeys (which is a good name for her family lol)
She was able to lift everything except her door, which she struggled to hold up despite the fact that its just light wood.

The pressure of always being the strong one and carrying the weight of everything is such a universal experience, but we all seem to have different pieces that specifically resonate with each of us. Another masterpiece by Lin Manual Miranda and what a phenomenal big screen debut for Jessica Farrow. Was shocked when she didn't have any other discography listed.

I love how she's protecting Mirabel throughout this song. She even fixes her glasses
Can I get a time stamp for that?

@@fizzysooda4772 thx. Much appreciated! 😊
I know it’s so precious, even while telling her how hurt she is she can’t ever stop (in her eyes, and because of Abuelas influence) she’s still helping while being vulnerable. The hug at the end was so precious, my favorite part in the movie tbh.
And when Mira looks uncomfortable or scared by Luisa’s strength and the burden she’s carrying, that’s when Luisa starts dancing. Even though she’s still singing about her burdens and struggles, she’s doing a fun dance as if to show Mirabel “see, it’s okay. We’re having fun” even though the fun part is all on the outside. It’s just for show to make Mirabel feel better.
"Who am I if I can't carry it all?" that's the line that hit hard
Well if people can't carry it all, they end up homeless, starving, and alone, so I hope this character realizes that what she's experiencing is just... life
@ko7577 your mummy probably didn't teach you mental health is a thing did she honey?She didn't tell you that people often have mental issues and not only physical ones, conditions that they just can't deal with alone, and they get treated for them huh? How about you go to a psychiatrist to find out? And solve that shtload of issues you've got going on? Who hurt you hun? Educate urself before you come back here, you're pitiful
Hands down favourite song of the movie.
We don't talk about Bruno is such a masterpiece, but this song is the one that is so relatable it hurts. I love that immediately after the song ends Luisa gets a hug, because girl needs it!
Indeed. Any person who has been "that person" for their family or pseudo-family knows this feeling. I couldn't talk about this song to anyone without choking up. It hits home way too hard, heh
I feel this is the best song, I’m not a fan of the Bruno song. This one is so good, and has such good lyrics.
Yeah this one is hands down better than "...Bruno" imo. I don't get why that one gets all the press when this one is not only extremely relatable but also insanely catchy
@@kierasher1 I want to lie and say that there isn’t one in my family but that’s a lie cause I am “that person”
This song is like for moms and older sisters to know
Personally, I think the reason we see that Luisa is constantly protecting Mirabel in this song is because she never wants her to feel how Luisa thinks shed feel without her gift (worthless). The difference between Luisas relationship with Mirabel and Isas relationship with Mirabel is really cool to see. Luise clearly loves Mirabel so much and wants to her/protect her, whereas Isa sees Mirabel as "getting off easy". She doesnt have a gift, so Isa sees that as he not having to provide anything for the town or family. This movie is so good.
That hit home
And just to add, you have to think for everything Luisa is going through (the idea she's only useful for what she can provide) she can relate to that "worthless" feeling; her strength isn't really "hers" but for the benefit of everyone around her. There's a kindred spirit there, and being the older sibling, a protective instinct (obviously.)
So, so much depth. And as the younger siblings myself, I can see Luisa in my sister a bit: stronger than she ever should have had to be. ❤
like Luisa, Isa is pressured to be perfect. And she sees Mirabel being free and easy to mess around because she has no gift and responsibility.
@Ban this youtube YES! I feel much like that. I feel like I can never show my brother that I am weak, even though he already knows that, but I feel that he feels that double. Because though he is the "baby" of the family, he is the strongest (mentally, and emotionally) and he doesn't want us to see him in his weakness, and he is condoling us and giving therapy!
Now that you mention it, Isa didn't care if Mirabel got smacked around in the early part of her song lol. The more you think about this movie, the better it gets
I love how during the song, even though Luisa is letting out her insecurity and stress of being the strongest one in the family, she still keeps Mirabel safe. Its quite cute and its genuinely sweet to see. Despite her being tired and stressed and everything, she doesnt take it out on Mirabel. She saves her from danger with her strength, aka what shes stressed and what shes pressured about, which I find genuienly heart wrenching. Its bittersweet...and i love it
Oh, not to mention how despite her brute strength, she's gentle to Mirabel, like how she carefully adjusts her glasses.
This is one of the most powerful songs to come out of a Disney film, to me. It chokes me up- there's so much to take in and ur given slight relief before made to essentially bottle it back up, and my heart goes out to the many people experiencing that same generational trauma.
1940s generational trauma: World War II and 50 million deaths worldwide
1950s generational trauma: Vietnam war
1960s generational trauma: race riots, segregation, Vietnam
1970s generational trauma: Rolling blackouts, high crime rate, Vietnam
1980s generational trauma: The worst inflation in the country's history and the financial death of the working class
1990s generational trauma: Race riots, terrorism, high crime rate
2000s generational trauma: 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq wars, recession
2010s generational trauma: COVID-19
2020s generational trauma: Helping little sister with math, being asked to do dishes, and "responsibility that cuts into Fortnite time"
"Give her all the heavy things, we can't shoulder"
"Give it to your sister and never wonder, if the same pressure would have pulled you under"...you can really see in this song, and also especially these lines, that she has the most pressure to carry than the family, but she needs to stay strong because everybody expects that from her....This is my favorite disney song, because it really shows the flaws of being the oldest of the family and still needs to be perfect, or the family would break
not to be rude, but not all older children have all the responsibilities and stuff. the oldest isnt the care holder of the family, ur only saying that bc ur the oldest..my brother is the oldest and all he has to do is game all day, and the family wont break because of you u arent the boss the parents are 💀
I get that's it's not true for you, but that comment was a bit rude. It's true for them and a lot of other people and generally the oldest does end up with a lot more responsibility, even if you don't always see it. And there are a lot of people with absent parents or who have to take on more pressure even if their parents are there just because of personal things
@@luvemrie LMM said he wrote this song with his older sister in mind, because she had to take on the burden of being a third parent for him when his parents were busy or unable to be around. So, you know, it is specifically speaking from the perspective of an older sibling.
@@luvemrie yeah everyone's experience is different, in my house my older sister is the most pressured
She's not even the oldest. She's the middle child.
She beats up obstacles with power and thrust while she carries and holds her sister gently and delicately. She knows how to balance strength and tenderness.
Edit: Please be nice to Whitebolls92. We disney kids know better than to be mean.
thats why she said no mistakes. With that kind of power, she could easily destroy something or kill someone. That adds to the pressure.
Cringe. It's a cartoon simmer down.

@@whiteydiamond does that mean it can't be analyzed or have a thought out response to it? This false narrative on cartoons is so dumb lol.

@@whiteydiamond and cartoons can be deeper than what is shown. Why did you even comment that? Looks to me like you’re the one that needs to simmer down because you felt some kind of way so much you had to comment.
This is my favorite song from the movie. I love how she talks about stress and pressure.
I love how she talks about stress and pressure as if she's the only person on earth who has them
I love how in almost every shot pretty much she was protecting her little sister. Really pushing home how much she is there for her family "in service" to them as her only purpose, and that scene where she's holding her over the steep cliff and it cracks translates to me that doing that is breaking her, constantly dragging her down to save everyone, to hold them up. Pressure in other words. Its a really good song made better with good visuals.
"I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service." is literally one of the rawest lines in the whole movie.
Agreed!! Literally was able to use this line in therapy and now working through the trauma and misbelief that I’m ONLY as good as what I PROVIDE. Such a powerful song and film overall!!
Tearing for real 😢
I may not understand the pressure as the youngest, but I damn sure can feel that existential dread.
"watches as she buckles and bends but never break" hit me hard
It tears my heart out EVERY time I hear it. I freaking LOVE this movie.
This song made my mom cry. She related with it as she was the oldest of her siblings growing up in Mexico. From like 8 yrs old she was basically expected to be a third adult in the family while all of her sibiling had full license to be kids.
I love that the makers made sure to do their research with this movie.
Tell your mother I love her.

Everyone’s talking about “we don’t talk about Bruno” but I like this song it’s pretty good. Props to Jessica Darrow her vocals are insane. Was gonna skip this movie but I’m so glad I watched it.

Both is good but this one is really underrated
It's like Opal's songs. Everybody just talks about "Easy to breath" but for me the Mirror Man's song is the best.
The facial expressions in this movie are everything to me. They do a really good job of enhancing and enforcing the idea and mood of the scene.
I know right especially in we don't talk about Bruno pepe facial expressions shows so muchhhh and i hardly see anyone talking about it
I agree!! The body language is amazing as well! Facial expressions and body language are most important parts of communication so it's amazing to see it done so well in animation. Makes them seem way more realistic!
I know right, it’s really well made
This movie is a masterclass on cloth simulation. The way all the dresses flow. The shirts rincle and stretch. I can not get over the fabrics in this movie.
I love movies that you can watch it several times and see something different each time. This movie was well made.
This make me cry everytime...
As the oldest sister, that had to deal with depression and the damage my parents inflicted to the Psyche of me and my sisters.
This is the story of my life
This whole song is nothing but bars. And great message of how many deal with struggles and keep going. two of my favorite bars is : "Diamonds and Platinum, I find'em and flatten'em. and Pressure's like a drip drip drip that'll never stop. Whoa! Pressure that'll tip tip tip til you ready to pop! Luissa killed this..man
3:06 "Give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would've pulled you under" is such a powerful line
Best line of the song! Despite some great competition.
The first time I heard this song, I felt so shocked, Lin articulated every experience I have as the oldest of four siblings. But that line hit song hard I couldn't cry because it took eveything out of me. I inhaled and BAWLED.

I love how, even though Luisa is struggling with all of her pressure, she still, through the song, cares for Mirabel. Always catching the rocks before they fall, standing in front of the boulders, stopping to adjust her glasses, etc. It just shows her character and how good of a sister she is.

No mistakes 💪
Mirabel's gift is to turn people's inner thoughts and emotions into fully choreographed music videos
I love how this song not only talks about physical strength, but mental strength as well and constantly having to feel like you need to be strong on both ends of the spectrum.
And the fear that it won't be something big that'll break you, but a build up of things you'd easily manage individually.
And gender roles, and roles in Latino families.
ikr i love it
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks, no mistakes" and "give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would have pulled you under" both those lines and how they were delivered were simply phenomenal.

Appeals to me
I get emotional every time I watch this.
It's not only a really good beat. its deep meaning and the emotions too that makes it perfect. A lot of people can relat to it easily
2:33 I love that during this whole part Mirabel really sees past everything and has a connection with her sister. You can see in her face how devastated she is to see her sister under so much weight. But then Luisa breaks into dance and makes it fun again as not to worry Mirabel because this whole time she's been protecting her both physically and emotionally.
I truly believe that the house didn’t give Mirabel a gift because she didn’t need one: her innate empathy is the greatest gift to her family.
@@ganbarazan good point 👍
I think my favorite part is after the song when Mirabel just hugs her and says she does too much.

The line "Was Hercules ever like 'Yo I dont wanna fight Cerberus'" is severely underrated in my opinion because this line equates the duty/responsibility that was expected of Hercules to the duties/responsibilities Luisa just assumes
I think eis more like be stronger dont make you more fearless... Luisa is the only one she can fight any danger even if she is to scared for doing so, is you do or you do... She can have fear or anything.
There were tons of examples they could have gone for there. They picked a great one, because it frames her mindset perfectly. The absurd level or thought that went into this film is a huge part of what makes it so good.
Shut up
Hercules had to do "labors" that he probably didn't want to do, for the faults of another (Hera). Luisa has so much pressure from her abuela to do all these things she doesn't want to do too. Some from the movie being rerouting rivers, fixing leaning houses, rounding up donkeys and carrying them on her back, etc. She's the only one you see through the movie constantly working, even when she loses her gift. It isn't assumed, it's laid out clear as day.
@@JosePerez-sy2jc no lol

@@notcelestial wdtab is amazing so is surface pressure
I absolutely LOVE the detail of the final 'domino' Luisa is struggling to hold up is her own door, showcasing the tremendous weight of it and how hard it is to carry the responsibility of having one of the strongest gifts in her family. Feeling the need to protect everyone because of it, especially her younger sister Mirabel. She may be able to move mountains and churches but nothing is heavier than the burden of having your beloved town and family rest on your shoulders.
Similar I like the scene from 2:30 on! Red for danger as the pressure piles on with the saddness and fear on her, blue for safety as she protects them all as she is confident and unwavering. It really shows how she is feeling compared to what she shows and does.
@@nightbane2889 Adding on to this: the blue there representing safety is ironic, as the blue appears with their house, and that's what nearly puts her under, more than any of the other things she lifts. It shows even more so that while she protects her family from danger, the biggest danger to her is them, and the pressure they place on her. I know that's what the entire song's about, but they show tell it again, all of it, right there with the colors and house.

Honestly, I think that EVERY older sibling feels this way xD So much pressure to keep the family together, pressure to protect the siblings, etc. Take your pick
I love that this song isn't just about her being physically strong, but apparently the family has been placing every burden and problem directly on her shoulder to the point that she feels obligated to handle all of it, not just physically but emotionally too.
Dude... the Grandma is a terrible person, and realistically, these girls would grow up with an IMMENSE amount of trauma.
@@TrueWizardry
Abuela isn't being intentionally malicious. She does genuinely care for her family, but like many older people in the real world who grew up during tough times, that fear of losing everything you built and returning to those "dark days" can cloud your judgement and perspective. A simple but common example being how a grandmother who lived off of very little food growing up having the tendency to fatten up her grand children whenever they visit. Their deep rooted fear of not having enough food to go around can spur them to keep overfeeding their grand kids as an understandable, but unhealthy expression of love.
That’s exactly how it is for me I pushed myself too far I tried to take in all of my loved ones problems because I’m a man… I’m supposed to do that, right? Well I guess not because now I’m a complete wreck… lol I remember when I was an extreme nationalist I used to compare it to France vs the US mentality of “NEVER SURRENDER” and “I SURRENDER” well, I guess I’m the French because I surrender.
@@TrueWizardry From my perspective the issue with Abuela is that she's so obsessed with this positive opinion people have of her perfect and superpowered family that she puts the needs of the people above the needs of any individual. She doesn't even see her family as people anymore, but as powers and services that they can provide. If you notice their powers have very little to do with what they're expected to do for the town, at least with Luisa and her sisters. The oldest daughter can make plants at will. She can solve world hunger with a flick of her finger and all Abuela sees her as is a flower maker and someone pretty to marry off so that she can have great grandkids at some point. Luisa is super strong and super durable so she literally functions as a work horse for everyone in town even stuff that they could be doing for themselves. And because the main character is powerless she's seen as a burden and not even part of the family. Abuela didn't even bother having a room for her made the hard way because her powers didn't manifest in a way that gave her one magically. The way the village views her family is so important to her that when a door opening happens she invites the entire village and has this massive speech about using their gifts to benefit the the people of the village. Abuela is just horrible and that horrible-ness eventually destroys the the house which is used symbolically to represent the family. As you can see in Luisa's song the heaviest thing that nearly crushes her is the house specifically which as I stated is symbolic of the family.
@@J-manli Intentionally or unintentionally malicious she's still despicable as a person. We can view this by looking at the powers themselves and how they function. On Luisa's side of the family her mother and sisters all have powers based on servicing people. the mother heals people with her cooking, the older sister can grow plants for beautification (though her major contribution to the family according to Abuela is that she's beautiful and easy to marry off, not her power). Luisa is a literal work horse for everyone else in the town (which is why they place her alonside donkeys which are also "beasts of burden"). And of course the main character has no power and is therefore seen as useless. Then you have Antonio's side of the family. All of which are specifically dedicated to gathering information which allows Abuela to remain in control over the village. Shapeshifting, super hearing, talking to animals, and of course the mother's near random weather powers based on emotions. Then you have Bruno. His power was to tell the future, but he usually foresees disasters or negative events, he doesn't change the future or control anything, he just sees what's going to happen and even that's usually just a possibility. This isn't something that Abuela can market off of so she ends up shunning him and treating him badly because he doesn't benefit her directly. That makes Abuela a straight up villain, she might not be as obvious as other Disney villains, but she's manipulative and horrible.
Luisa is just a powerful character, both literally and metaphorically.
I'm glad disney finally has real diversity in their main characters
That is a bad thing to say about her she is one of the best!
As a trainee therapist I can approve from this movie, loiuse is always thinking she needs be strong for her family, but deep down underneath the surface she has a weak side that she scared to show her family or everyone.
And bruno is someone wandering in theor negative mind
"This growing pressure keeps growing, keep going." I love this sentence, both in its meaning, and Jessica's own voice. And the dance moves throughout the songs, are amazing. The fact that they were done by real dancers as a model.
the whole song is meaningful and deeply touches the heart, the pain and everything thats under our mask. Luisa's face at the end. Seriously, broke my heart.
