The "preparing for the dinner" scene really made me want to pay attention to how many lines each of the singers did that the music producers were able to blend it to not be just one cluttered mess, like we get some empty spaces that have each of the characters telling their stories and you can choose to focus on which one is replicating theirs. Absolutely brilliant!
The technique used there is called counterpoint. The progression is just the same no matter which one you listen to. Good example of vocal counterpoint, normally it's bass, treble or rhythm counterpoint you hear if you get a song with a counterpoint.
@@DanksterPaws They are! Each part follows a two-measure loop of Cm - Fm - | G - Fm, and if they have a part where they say "We don't talk about Bruno" it'll switch to Ab - - - | G - - - That ensures that each melody can be layered on top of one another without it sounding strange or "off-key." It also helps that, like shilah said, the lines the characters sing are fairly simple + have empty spaces; this means that when combined they fit together like pieces of a puzzle :D
someone else wrote the instrumental songs while lin wrote the voiced songs , just commenting to make sure both get credit even though i don’t know his name
That’s why it is so theatrical. I love that they brought him in for this. It is pretty much Broadway ready, a lot like how Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Aladdin were. And like he said, it’s NEW contemporary theatre, not classically driven.
@@Blue_Ninja_Lover2 years late but no its not Camilo. When the verse starts and Bruno walks from left to right on the balcony he is wearing a bucket on his head. Camilo wouldn't know about Bruno's character Jorge who makes the spackle. Also in the final delores verse when she is walking up a podium and you see Bruno is dancing in the top right the headline is squared off, no hair is seen, and it resembles a bucket. If it was Camilo using Bruno's body you would see a rounded hairline
The is the watermark of Lin Manuel Miranda! Giving each character meaning & depth while the lyrics of the song push the story forward. Also his classic style of layering several songs on top of each other at a pinnacle point is heard here. He does this in Hamilton & In The Heights as well. All 3 excellent soundtracks!
RIGHT?! Like I listened to the song before without knowing about it and when the dinner scene came I was like... wait did Lin write this? A quick google search and I found out I was right
Lin gets compared to Menken and Sondheim a lot (and for good reason), but I honestly think people underestimate Cameron Mackintosh's influence on Miranda through Les Mis. Because Les Mis does the overlaying parts in the same way (and I know it's Boubil and Schoenberg who wrote it, but Mackintosh's arrangement is what I'm specifically talking about). Listen to The Confrontation, or even better - One Day More.
@@spicyhotbeef7342 It’s not very crucial to the plot so leave it up to whatever you like. I personally like to say that it’s just a hint that Dolores knew that he never left, that he’s always been in the background for so long. It’s not supposed to be an actual Bruno or Camilo but it could be, what’s important is that his presence symbolized.
If I am correct this was his first movie with Disney, where he was completely involved, from start to finish. Lin-Manuel Miranda brought all the elements of broadway to the screen, from layers, to sound moving through space. Watching this movie in with quality headphones or surround sound is mind boggling for a childrens movie.
I still think it's hilarious how Camillo's talks about Bruno cause if you think about it he's the same age as Maribel and most likely what happened is Bruno came to him to say hi or something and the kid was so scared because of all he'd been told so many bad things about Bruno that he fainted on site
Did you notice how when Dolores’ part pops up from her initial ‘Hey’ all of the background noises (footsteps, skin contact of her grabbing Mirabel’s arm, the swish of her skirts when she turns) they’re all EXTREMELY amplified. When they’re doing their moving footsteps you can see they’re only using the tips of their toes but the sound is BIG. Showcasing Dolores’ powers of super hearing, such a small but glorious effect 😭
It seems every singer in the familia Madrigal showcases their talent. Her Tia (Aunt) Pepa with her influence over weather, Dolores’ subtle but there emphasis on her hearing, Cammilo’s shapeshifting, and Isa’s lowering with her Flora gift ❤️❤️❤️
If you listen, Isabella is actually singing “I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine,” as if trying to convince herself that she can do this, as we find out later that she didn’t want to marry him at all.
I’m pretty sure that’s Dolores , specifically says “ he told me that the man of dreams would be just out of reach betrothed to another , another and I’m fine,I’m fine,I’m fine - fine , fineeee~ “
I love Lin Manuel's habit of putting several verses together into this controlled chaos. I loved it in Hamilton, I love it here and I can't wait to see more of it. Cause, let's be honest, Disney would be crazy not to hire this genius again
It’s a very common thing to do in musical theater at the end of act one which is why we see him do it in Hamilton, in the heights, and moana. It’s genius of him really
Another cool detail is that the "rapper" girl (the one whispering and the 3rd vocalist), Dolores, has the superpower of being capable of hearing everything, she has an enhanced hearing. And because of that she whispers instead of singing normally.
not really, she sang normally right after isabella's part, and also sang normally at the end of the movie. I think she was whispering because she was talking about how the family doesn't understand bruno
@@jonasquinn7977 exactly, it’s something that most pick up on. Its a really cool detail that they aded to make us understand the weight of eaches power
@@dracos0024 Nah. He was always going to be a part of the family. Just more of an emo kid instead of a happy one that we see. He's expected to make people laugh (it's said in the original song) so maybe he's actually emo and negative (as you see when there's no house), and it's possible that the happy-go-lucky is an act.
I firmly believe Disney robbed us. Then again, maybe if they did have their own song, maybe they'd be so good, it'd overshadow the rest. That's just me though.
the fact half of his family wrote an entire disstrack about him and it was one of the best songs in the entire movie shows just how much we SHOULD be talking about bruno
There is nothing that makes more sense than the fact that multiple voices singing at one time in harmony but with different words is called a Madrigal. And they are the family Madrigal. So much to unpack with the meaning behind the name and so beautifully apt for this song in particular
LOVE the specific things you pointed out. the vocal panning. what instruments are prominent at different parts. most ppl who react don't mention it. i loved hearing about those things people don't usually notice
@@CodyMcManus The music for Encanto was written by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer and all the lyrics were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie.
I definitely think it’s a game changer for Disney to have brought on Lin-Manuel Miranda. His background in broadway musicals adds so much depth and a sense of being ‘in-touch’ that Disney was sometimes lacking previously. (As in the replay value of the songs and longevity of engagement) The Latin hiphop vibes that come out in Encanto are right up Lin-Manuel’s lane and I can’t wait to see how he further continues to transform Disney into more of his broadway feel
His relationship with Disney started with Moana and it just has skyrocketed from there. I agree that he was the perfect person to write for Encanto. You can tell he took a lot of time in researching authentic Colombian music and rhythms to get it right.
Unlike some other Disney songs, the ones that Lin produces (especially this one) I can listen to over and over again without getting tired of them. Like you said, they have more replay value. I felt the same way about the songs in Moana as well. I think the songs in that movie are ten times better than the ones in a movie like Frozen.
@Banana Lisa that is so wonderful! I've enjoyed Latin music (including Colombian) for years being Latina and I'm glad these movies are opening the minds of a lot of people that were not familiar with it before.
If you listen closely you can hear Isabella singing "im fine im fine" hinting that she doesnt want to get married And theres another message near the end when she assembling the vison you can hear "Hes Here!" Hinting that bruno never left
This is an immaculate song man. It reveals a sort of villain, through the eyes of those who know him. It's like how John Wick was described by the bad guy's dad in the first movie. Add some really grand voices and scores and you have... Disney.
When I first watched Encanto I was very upset especially knowing that the one girl can control weather (I always forget her name) saying it looks like rain I feel like he was just giving her a heads up and she could have fixed it, like all of them could have fixed it but I guess it's easier to play the blame game lol
After watching Encanto for the second time I bought the soundtrack, and I listen to it on my bus ride into work and going home. I have now seen the film 8 times, I’m slightly obsessed.
No she doesn’t want to be perfect the nan or whatever her name is thinks the gift is them so she basically demands for her to be perfect but yea I guess it is a really god voice
Her power is growth. Growing flowers, and once her sister helps her, growing any plants. Also, personal growth. The perfection is what Abuela was demanding from everyone. With her trauma, she was seeking perfection so they would never lose their home again. The real enemy was trauma and toxic perfectionism all along.
I find it interesting that you can see Isabella’s struggle with being ‘perfect’ at the end of the song when you see her dancing more erratically singing ‘I’m fine, I’m fine’. It’s quite hard to pick out as everyone else is singing but it’s really obvious when you hear it.
Well, he can make other videos including that too. But, please do not say better, people have opinions but that doesn't mean whatever you think of should be said like it's okay.
@@CodyMcManus These aren't Disney Composers. The music for Encanto was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer and all the lyrics were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie.
I love how as the pieces of the puzzle are scattered they sing so chaotically, but right after Mirabel aline all the pieces together they start singing in harmony.
There's a reason why everyone is singing at the same time near the end, that style of singing is called a madrigal and it dayes back all the way to 14th century Italy
I honestly can't stop watching Encanto. It's one of my new favorites for sure. It's one of those films with so much subtlety and so many little details that it just gets better the more times you watch it. Lin-Manuel Miranda also slayed with the soundtrack, as he often does. Surface Pressure and We Don't Talk About Bruno were the first two in this film to really catch my attention, but now that I've watched a bunch of times I find myself singing the others just as often.
I’ve seen so many disappointing reactions to this song. Watching you react to the music production was great. When you got excited by the third vocalist I said, “Oh, he’s gonna lose his shit at the end!” The only other reaction video I’ve liked as much was from a guy who was really analyzing the lyrics for story clues. Yours is the music aspect. Very cool.
I've listened to this song non-stop. Ever since I've watched Encanto, I've been listening to all the songs on repeat. So much detail is put into those songs, witch is wonderful and makes it a great time to listen to.
Fun fact: Bruno's original name was supposed to be Oscar, however, because of the some "We Don't Talk About Bruno", the name Oscar was changed to Bruno because it sounds better. Oh! And later on, Disney released a movie called "Luca" and they also have a thing for a Bruno!
This movie, this music is amazing. As a person who dances to Columbia's incredible rhythms and is a Momma to a brown boy having him see himself on the screen was huge. Having him recognize the rhythms we have danced together great and to beable to talk about a beautiful culture with him is a gift.
Cody: all the instrumentals, the vocals... I can see why this is number one The real reason it’s number one: SEVEN FOOT FRAME RATS ALONG HIS BACK WHEN HE CALLS YOUR NAME IT ALL FADES TO BLACK
I’m sorry if this is a spoiler, but during Dolores’ part, you can slightly see Bruno walking around the 2nd floor and I just am absolutely in love with that detail.
her whole part is so insane but my favorite detail about it is that the sounds of her and mirabel’s footsteps, in addition to swooshing sounds when they turn around, are WAY louder than they are in the other family members’ parts bc it represents what she hears everyday
If you are wearing headphones you notice at the end when everyone's singing the vocals for some characters are on one side and the rest on the other and then they switch sides, Honestly so amazing
Lin Manuel-Miranda genuinely has such an amazing impact on Disney. Moana, live action Beauty and the Beast and now Encanto. The music was all musically composed. Obviously he didn’t write all the music in the live action but he made adjustments to fit correctly to the time line.
I _love_ how you pointed out the vocal panning. I'm a _big_ fan of stereo and surround sound! It gives me chills! My friends are in a band and they try _so_ hard to incorporate that into their music. Also, what brand of headphones are you using?
Most might have already noticed but when Dolores sings, we can hear every movement of the skirt going back and forth, and the sound of the steps clearly bc Dolores's gift is that she can hear everything really well and everything sounds loud to her so we're getting to hear from her POV. Also she's whispering or talking loudly also bc she can hear so well
Yes, "most" people noticed. No revelation there. That's pretty much 50%of all comments on songs like this.why can't you people look at the comments first before making this totally unoriginal comment.
Bruno is a great song. Lots of moving parts that fit together perfectly. IMO tho Surface Pressure is better. It's just as well written even as a solo and it conveys a sense of relatability and emotion Bruno doesn't have. I honestly haven't been able to get it out of my head for a week.
I love surface pressure as well! It's such a bop and honestly relatable as heck, but i think this one was meant to be a fun song while the surface pressure was meant to be an emotional one
If you listen closely at the end of the song, the people who’re lying about Bruno are actually the loudest, such as Camilo (shapeshifter). His voice is the loudest here. Dolores seems to be telling the most truth (saying she actually hears Bruno), and her voice is almost inaudible. Man Disney producers are talented
Oh, I thought Dolores was almost inaudible because she talks and sings quietly all the time (with super sensitive ears speaking loudly would hurt). Isabela was also telling the truth about what she'd heard, and I could hear her just fine.
And how do we know that Camilo is lying? He is 15 the same age as Mirabel and would have been 5 when Bruno vanished, he has very little recollection of Bruno and is probably only repeating the bad things he's heard about Bruno over the years
@@jackwhitbread4583 he may think that he’s telling the truth but it’s still a lie~ and Camilo definitely would’ve made it more dramatic bc that’s just something he’d do :) Anyway u don’t have to contradict me, I’m just saying what I think.
I would also recommend watching the “sing-along/lyrics shown” soundtrack version Disney released, as well-there are some interesting overlaps you may not catch towards the end, that hint about what the characters are going through in the movie. 🙂
the composer is Lin Manuel Miranda, you may know him because of Hamilton, he also participated in Moana and the Mary Poppins sequel, among others. He's an amazing composer, actor, and singer
It's crazy the details that come through hearing this after watching the movie. Take Isabella's part of this song. The staccato singing as she describes her prophecy is beautiful, but after listening to What Else Can I Do it's clear that it's also restrained. In other words, it's the musical equivalent of the persona she presents for the sake of the family and rebels against later
Its definitely Lin Manuel Miranda's talent, he's so good, a genius. How can he merge American-English modern musical culture with traditional and modern Hispanic, this specially Colombian. Great!
The scene with Dolores had so much detail, anyone else realize that the footsteps are on beat….. Or when she went up the boxes, it synced with the song? So much detail in such a small part.
Fun fact: The family the movie follows is the Family Madrigal. The final part of the song, where everyone sings their unique melodies and they all blend together, is a musical arrangement known as a 'Madrigal'.
These song were eritren in a different way than traditional Disney songs. Most producers get the script after it's finalized. In Encanto Lin Manuel Miranda was involved from the very beginning.
Didn't realize this till I listened to just the vocals but on the second round of the mashup Camilo changes the way he sings "he sees your dreams and feast on your screams" and I love it
This song (and all of the Encanto songs, really) have Lin Manuel Miranda written all over it. You can just hear his style that many already know from Hamilton - the overlay of melodies & vocals, the almost unexpected rap pieces, the perfect balance of instruments and all of the vocals- except here it is all often enriched by the amazing Latin-American culture. Truly a masterpiece. Let It Go is pretty much a classic at this point but this song is on a whole another level. Wow, just wow.
I LOVE your personality! I love how your giving your opinion on each character and voice, wasn’t bored a second, I love encanto and you put it into perspective very well!! Keep it up
I have seen a couple reaction to this song now, but you noticed things I have never considered before. Great ear you have and hearing those this just from listening once.
I think my favorite part of this song is when the family is setting up the table for their meal and they all sing basically a different part of the song at the same time.
This song is amazing in so many ways, the rythms are like a blend of caribbean and andinean music with so much dramatism 😍 I love it so much because at first glance dolores doesnt seem singing cumbia, but rythms goes pretty well, gets us the feelingbof a rap but it is not, also cumbia has so many other elements but they just wont fit in the purpose of the song. Lin Manuel Miranda did such a great work using the most necesary and representative, unravel it into a characterization of every singer and told us why we should not talk about bruno. FANTASTIC!!!!
Also btw the part where dolores sings the sound has been amplified giving you a taste of her power that she can hear everything. Like the footsteps sound are a lot more clear.
The last part of the song is what is musically considered a madrigal. Lin Manuel and all the composers took it out of the park with this one! In love with the Encanto movie! Cry every time ...
i love watching professional people react to this since they point out the stuff that make the movie even more beautiful and makes me feel so thankful for the effort they put in this movie
I’m so obsessed with this movie and soundtrack, I’m watching any reaction videos I can find 😂 Your reaction was great! I loved that you didn’t talk through it too much and actually paid attention to the video/song Great job! 👏👏
I think the complexity of this song in terms of having way more singers than your usual Disney ballad is part of the message (of this song and the whole movie): the things "we don't talk about" are actually the things literally everyone in the entire cast are talking about, but in a harmful gossipy way. I also think it's brilliant how Lin-Manuel used the same chord structure on every verse, but a different melody and accompaniment so you didn't even realize it until all the verses are song en chorale at the end. Great reaction!
Its amazing how Lin Manuel Miranda used Colombian music for the songs, thats the reason why the drums sound real, because in my country the instruments are used so much for the music, and the drums are one of the most important parts of it, thats the reason why you can dance and move your hips like Shakira in here
I'm not certain if it's true for this song, but I know that they did record actual Columbian musicians for the instruments on at least some of the songs in this. Layered vocals is one of my favorite things when done well and this is done SO WELL.

If you’re doing a piano accompaniment, each of the character’s parts are pretty much the same progression.

It's one of my favorite parts about this song, just the way the sounds move around when you've got headphones in. It's just so captivating!
@@CodyMcManus The music for Encanto was written by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer and all the lyrics were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie.
I definitely think it’s a game changer for Disney to have brought on Lin-Manuel Miranda. His background in broadway musicals adds so much depth and a sense of being ‘in-touch’ that Disney was sometimes lacking previously. (As in the replay value of the songs and longevity of engagement) The Latin hiphop vibes that come out in Encanto are right up Lin-Manuel’s lane and I can’t wait to see how he further continues to transform Disney into more of his broadway feel
YES
His relationship with Disney started with Moana and it just has skyrocketed from there. I agree that he was the perfect person to write for Encanto. You can tell he took a lot of time in researching authentic Colombian music and rhythms to get it right.
Reminds me of the Menken/Elton John pairing in the 90s, game changer.
Unlike some other Disney songs, the ones that Lin produces (especially this one) I can listen to over and over again without getting tired of them. Like you said, they have more replay value. I felt the same way about the songs in Moana as well. I think the songs in that movie are ten times better than the ones in a movie like Frozen.
@Banana Lisa that is so wonderful! I've enjoyed Latin music (including Colombian) for years being Latina and I'm glad these movies are opening the minds of a lot of people that were not familiar with it before.
I literally got chills when all of them sang together...
LOL IKR
?????????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
If no one told you yet.fun fact that is called a madrigal and that happens to be the sir name of the family. Madrigal.
@@ChemicalHeXx oh wow, now I even have more chills.
If you listen closely you can hear Isabella singing "im fine im fine" hinting that she doesnt want to get married
And theres another message near the end when she assembling the vison you can hear "Hes Here!" Hinting that bruno never left
This is an immaculate song man.
It reveals a sort of villain, through the eyes of those who know him.
It's like how John Wick was described by the bad guy's dad in the first movie.
Add some really grand voices and scores and you have... Disney.
@@mdnotfound7256 that’s what they are saying
When I first watched Encanto I was very upset especially knowing that the one girl can control weather (I always forget her name) saying it looks like rain I feel like he was just giving her a heads up and she could have fixed it, like all of them could have fixed it but I guess it's easier to play the blame game lol
@@allenaramirez8857 The woman that controls the weather is named Pepa btw ^^!
I luv Bruno I wana hug they should handle his fortunes differently
@@JAGONTI thank you 😊 I figured out how to remember her name 😁
After watching Encanto for the second time I bought the soundtrack, and I listen to it on my bus ride into work and going home. I have now seen the film 8 times, I’m slightly obsessed.
It's so good!😊
@@CodyMcManus so happy you got to watch it!
4:29 of course she has a beautiful voice, Isabella's power is literally perfection
Yeah but literally ALMOST everyone loves camilo's part and he has more simps than the main character
@@CertifiedJMomento Dolores too
No she doesn’t want to be perfect the nan or whatever her name is thinks the gift is them so she basically demands for her to be perfect but yea I guess it is a really god voice
Her power is growth. Growing flowers, and once her sister helps her, growing any plants. Also, personal growth. The perfection is what Abuela was demanding from everyone. With her trauma, she was seeking perfection so they would never lose their home again. The real enemy was trauma and toxic perfectionism all along.
Her power has nothin to do with being perfect lmao.
3:23 this is why you never pause a Disney movie.
funny thing, this type of musical where everyone sings different parts together in harmony is called "madrigal" like their surnames
Fun fact: If you listen closely near the end, both Dolores and Isabela sing "I'm fine"
fun fact: you copied this comment
@@jotunprime kinda rude but true fact: no one cares about that
Oh? Dolores too? I've heard Isabela's. Let me listen to that again....
@@jotunprime fun fact: More than 1 person can spread information.
@@jotunprime fun fact: everyone can give information
I don't know how many times I have listened to this song but Isabela's parts still give me the chills! The good kind of chills!
YEEEES is one of the best part of the song
Same 🤟🏾
I find it interesting that you can see Isabella’s struggle with being ‘perfect’ at the end of the song when you see her dancing more erratically singing ‘I’m fine, I’m fine’. It’s quite hard to pick out as everyone else is singing but it’s really obvious when you hear it.
I'm usually hear for Kpop, but Encanto is absolutely brilliant! Would love to see you react to Surface Pressure or Waiting on a Miracle too.
Great suggestion! 😊
And What else can I do? Would appreciate it! Thx
dos oruguitas is better by abuella
Well, he can make other videos including that too. But, please do not say better, people have opinions but that doesn't mean whatever you think of should be said like it's okay.
Also, you get to meet the characters in the first song called "The Family Madrigal".
every single song in this movie is so good, there is not one bad song
Wow i need to hear more 😊
@@CodyMcManus These aren't Disney Composers. The music for Encanto was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer and all the lyrics were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie.
I love how as the pieces of the puzzle are scattered they sing so chaotically, but right after Mirabel aline all the pieces together they start singing in harmony.
Great observation
Also can we appreciate Mirabel’s face when Isabella is singing 😂😂😂
This vocal layering in this song is way more reminiscent of “96,000” from In the Heights than of another Disney Song.
There's a reason why everyone is singing at the same time near the end, that style of singing is called a madrigal and it dayes back all the way to 14th century Italy
Yasss
I honestly can't stop watching Encanto. It's one of my new favorites for sure. It's one of those films with so much subtlety and so many little details that it just gets better the more times you watch it. Lin-Manuel Miranda also slayed with the soundtrack, as he often does. Surface Pressure and We Don't Talk About Bruno were the first two in this film to really catch my attention, but now that I've watched a bunch of times I find myself singing the others just as often.
I’ve seen so many disappointing reactions to this song. Watching you react to the music production was great. When you got excited by the third vocalist I said, “Oh, he’s gonna lose his shit at the end!” The only other reaction video I’ve liked as much was from a guy who was really analyzing the lyrics for story clues. Yours is the music aspect. Very cool.
I'd highly recommend "David the Hooman", he has some great lyrical and musical analysis videos for most of the Encanto songs :)
Who is that RUclipsr you mentioned was analyzing the lyrics? I'd love to see their video too
@@TheOnlyBongo ^
@@Trickpants thank youuu
I've listened to this song non-stop. Ever since I've watched Encanto, I've been listening to all the songs on repeat. So much detail is put into those songs, witch is wonderful and makes it a great time to listen to.
Fun fact: Bruno's original name was supposed to be Oscar, however, because of the some "We Don't Talk About Bruno", the name Oscar was changed to Bruno because it sounds better. Oh! And later on, Disney released a movie called "Luca" and they also have a thing for a Bruno!
That's true............ I wonder if Luca has something to do in encanto?
@@JENNIE_YOU_ME_ It's not a mistake, ✨ITS A MASTERPIECE✨
@@JENNIE_YOU_ME_ yeah because both movies are set in the 1950s ‼️‼️
@@JENNIE_YOU_ME_ What if Alberto's dad was bruno ;>;
My son say that! Whay luca and encanto have Bruno... two bruno.... my son's called Bruno😆
How many times have you watched Encanto?
I haven't 😿 I don't have Disney plus
0 😖
Plz listen to “Surface Pressure” from Encanto!
3 times
Well.... it hasn't reached "too many" yet, I don't think.
This movie, this music is amazing. As a person who dances to Columbia's incredible rhythms and is a Momma to a brown boy having him see himself on the screen was huge. Having him recognize the rhythms we have danced together great and to beable to talk about a beautiful culture with him is a gift.
Thanks, this song is a mix cumbia, salsa, chá chá chá and vallenato colombian, greeting from Colombia 💚
*Colombian
And the main base line is PuertoRican music.
With a sprinkle of the ones mentioned above.
Hi, just to clarify, it's COLOMBIA, not Columbia, Columbia is a district (USA), COLOMBIA IS A COUNTRY.
COLOMBIA, no Columbia !
Great reaction! This song reminds me of the smooth criminal sequence. So much packed in !
I love you
Cody: all the instrumentals, the vocals... I can see why this is number one
The real reason it’s number one: SEVEN FOOT FRAME
RATS ALONG HIS BACK
WHEN HE CALLS YOUR NAME IT ALL FADES TO BLACK
🎶HE SEES YOUR DREAMS, AND FEASTS ON YOUR SCREAMS🎶
@@RandomDragonEXE WE DON'T TALK ABOUT BRUNO NO NO NO
IT'S SO CATCHY OMGG I KEEP REPEATING IT
Best part! 🤣
I’m sorry if this is a spoiler, but during Dolores’ part, you can slightly see Bruno walking around the 2nd floor and I just am absolutely in love with that detail.
Yes I saw that to!!!
her whole part is so insane but my favorite detail about it is that the sounds of her and mirabel’s footsteps, in addition to swooshing sounds when they turn around, are WAY louder than they are in the other family members’ parts bc it represents what she hears everyday
I saw that to!
@@anjunxis yeah and we see him dancing only in this verse as only dolores part was kinda emphatic towards his situation.
1.Camilo is change shape to Bruno
2.Real Bruno come out to find food
If you are wearing headphones you notice at the end when everyone's singing the vocals for some characters are on one side and the rest on the other and then they switch sides, Honestly so amazing
I've seen several reactions to this song and this was my far my favorite. Loved this video
Lin Manuel-Miranda genuinely has such an amazing impact on Disney. Moana, live action Beauty and the Beast and now Encanto. The music was all musically composed. Obviously he didn’t write all the music in the live action but he made adjustments to fit correctly to the time line.
#1 on Spotify US and #5 on Billboard hot 100.
Oh my gosh well deserved!!
I LOVE Dolores's voice. They're all amazing singers but I love just the tone and smooth power of her voice in particular
Same ! I love her voice too
I _love_ how you pointed out the vocal panning.
I'm a _big_ fan of stereo and surround sound!
It gives me chills!
My friends are in a band and they try _so_ hard to incorporate that into their music.
Also, what brand of headphones are you using?
I loved the panning. My headphones are beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO
Most might have already noticed but when Dolores sings, we can hear every movement of the skirt going back and forth, and the sound of the steps clearly bc Dolores's gift is that she can hear everything really well and everything sounds loud to her so we're getting to hear from her POV. Also she's whispering or talking loudly also bc she can hear so well
Yes, "most" people noticed. No revelation there. That's pretty much 50%of all comments on songs like this.why can't you people look at the comments first before making this totally unoriginal comment.
Bruno is a great song. Lots of moving parts that fit together perfectly. IMO tho Surface Pressure is better. It's just as well written even as a solo and it conveys a sense of relatability and emotion Bruno doesn't have.
I honestly haven't been able to get it out of my head for a week.
Such an amazing song! I might need to listen to more 😊
I love surface pressure as well! It's such a bop and honestly relatable as heck, but i think this one was meant to be a fun song while the surface pressure was meant to be an emotional one
@@thatot7trash agreed
If you listen closely at the end of the song, the people who’re lying about Bruno are actually the loudest, such as Camilo (shapeshifter). His voice is the loudest here. Dolores seems to be telling the most truth (saying she actually hears Bruno), and her voice is almost inaudible.
Man Disney producers are talented
Oh, I thought Dolores was almost inaudible because she talks and sings quietly all the time (with super sensitive ears speaking loudly would hurt). Isabela was also telling the truth about what she'd heard, and I could hear her just fine.
And how do we know that Camilo is lying? He is 15 the same age as Mirabel and would have been 5 when Bruno vanished, he has very little recollection of Bruno and is probably only repeating the bad things he's heard about Bruno over the years
@@jackwhitbread4583 he may think that he’s telling the truth but it’s still a lie~ and Camilo definitely would’ve made it more dramatic bc that’s just something he’d do :)
Anyway u don’t have to contradict me, I’m just saying what I think.
@@dbseamz Isabella is pretty audible but if you pay attention she is pretty quiet compared to the others
I absolutely love this song, along with waiting on a miracle
I would also recommend watching the “sing-along/lyrics shown” soundtrack version Disney released, as well-there are some interesting overlaps you may not catch towards the end, that hint about what the characters are going through in the movie. 🙂
the composer is Lin Manuel Miranda, you may know him because of Hamilton, he also participated in Moana and the Mary Poppins sequel, among others. He's an amazing composer, actor, and singer
It's crazy the details that come through hearing this after watching the movie. Take Isabella's part of this song. The staccato singing as she describes her prophecy is beautiful, but after listening to What Else Can I Do it's clear that it's also restrained. In other words, it's the musical equivalent of the persona she presents for the sake of the family and rebels against later
6:30 is the Lin Manuel Miranda signature: In The Heights, Hamilton and now Encanto
Its definitely Lin Manuel Miranda's talent, he's so good, a genius. How can he merge American-English modern musical culture with traditional and modern Hispanic, this specially Colombian. Great!
The scene with Dolores had so much detail, anyone else realize that the footsteps are on beat…..
Or when she went up the boxes, it synced with the song? So much detail in such a small part.
hands down one of my fav disney songs ever. hard to choose between this & surface pressure
ITS SO GOOD 😊
Fun fact: The family the movie follows is the Family Madrigal. The final part of the song, where everyone sings their unique melodies and they all blend together, is a musical arrangement known as a 'Madrigal'.
These song were eritren in a different way than traditional Disney songs. Most producers get the script after it's finalized. In Encanto Lin Manuel Miranda was involved from the very beginning.
Didn't realize this till I listened to just the vocals but on the second round of the mashup Camilo changes the way he sings "he sees your dreams and feast on your screams" and I love it
This song (and all of the Encanto songs, really) have Lin Manuel Miranda written all over it. You can just hear his style that many already know from Hamilton - the overlay of melodies & vocals, the almost unexpected rap pieces, the perfect balance of instruments and all of the vocals- except here it is all often enriched by the amazing Latin-American culture. Truly a masterpiece. Let It Go is pretty much a classic at this point but this song is on a whole another level. Wow, just wow.
yesssss!!!! Lin Manuel Miranda is THE MAN!
I love his reaction to Isabela's part.
If you love the voice of Isabela (the girl in the swing with the flowers) you should react to "What else can I do", I'm pretty sure you will love it
THANK YOU FOR 1,000,000 VIEWS ON THIS ONE 💛💛💛
Very epic
only 1 reply?
Yeems’t!
Very epic
I love these songs! Definitely react to Surface Pressure.
So good! I might just have to!😊
I knew you were going to love Isabellas part and the ending!! I was excitedly waiting for your reactions lol
I agree Isabella's voice actress is very beautiful I definitely didn't expect it, she appears as Crazy Jane from the tv show Doom Patrol.
I really loved your reaction and commentary!
Thank you so much! 😊
I LOVE your personality! I love how your giving your opinion on each character and voice, wasn’t bored a second, I love encanto and you put it into perspective very well!! Keep it up
I have seen a couple reaction to this song now, but you noticed things I have never considered before. Great ear you have and hearing those this just from listening once.
I've watched a number of these reactions, and I found yours to be spectacular!
wow thank you so much 😊😊
@@CodyMcManus You're welcome. Your video was informative and your enthusiasm was delightful. Thank you. I'm subscribed! :)
ive been listening to this song REPEATEDLY ITS SOOO GOOD AND ADDICTING
I think my favorite part of this song is when the family is setting up the table for their meal and they all sing basically a different part of the song at the same time.
Fun fact: there’s actually a term for that kind of singing and it’s called Madrigal!
I never realized the moving voices on the headphones until you said it. I also realized i've been wearing them backwards all this time xD
This song is amazing in so many ways, the rythms are like a blend of caribbean and andinean music with so much dramatism 😍 I love it so much because at first glance dolores doesnt seem singing cumbia, but rythms goes pretty well, gets us the feelingbof a rap but it is not, also cumbia has so many other elements but they just wont fit in the purpose of the song. Lin Manuel Miranda did such a great work using the most necesary and representative, unravel it into a characterization of every singer and told us why we should not talk about bruno. FANTASTIC!!!!
Also btw the part where dolores sings the sound has been amplified giving you a taste of her power that she can hear everything. Like the footsteps sound are a lot more clear.
The reaction I didn’t know I needed :)
Hope you enjoyed it 😊
The last part of the song is what is musically considered a madrigal. Lin Manuel and all the composers took it out of the park with this one! In love with the Encanto movie! Cry every time ...
I love the detail in Dolores' first part where you can every step and swoosh and movement because it's like you're hearing it from her point of view
i love watching professional people react to this since they point out the stuff that make the movie even more beautiful and makes me feel so thankful for the effort they put in this movie
Cody is so wholesome and caring. I love it!
The bit where they are singing around the table - it’s called a Madrigal.
Love the play Disney did there
I’m so obsessed with this movie and soundtrack, I’m watching any reaction videos I can find 😂
Your reaction was great!
I loved that you didn’t talk through it too much and actually paid attention to the video/song
Great job! 👏👏
The most impressive thing about all this is EVERYONE was recorded and coached through zoom during the pandemic.
What?! Whoa that is impressive
I think the complexity of this song in terms of having way more singers than your usual Disney ballad is part of the message (of this song and the whole movie): the things "we don't talk about" are actually the things literally everyone in the entire cast are talking about, but in a harmful gossipy way.
I also think it's brilliant how Lin-Manuel used the same chord structure on every verse, but a different melody and accompaniment so you didn't even realize it until all the verses are song en chorale at the end. Great reaction!
Lin Manuel Miranda ( Hamilton composure and musician) wrote all Encanto's songs, Thank you Disney for this amazing movie.
Its amazing how Lin Manuel Miranda used Colombian music for the songs, thats the reason why the drums sound real, because in my country the instruments are used so much for the music, and the drums are one of the most important parts of it, thats the reason why you can dance and move your hips like Shakira in here
This song is a mix cumbia, salsa, vallenato colombian
loved this video just upset Dolores’s rap didn’t get more recognition, it’s so beauty
Man! I love Encanto so much!!! It’s so good! Disney and Lin really hit it out of the park!
Love this guy. Great energy. So positive and fantastic energy. Amazing analysis.
I'm not certain if it's true for this song, but I know that they did record actual Columbian musicians for the instruments on at least some of the songs in this. Layered vocals is one of my favorite things when done well and this is done SO WELL.
@@Javajavajav thank u I was just gona write that 🇨🇴 #mymotherland
When Camilo sings "your name" its heavenly
Honestly these singers are amazing. I like how they sing together and different plots in different scenes in the song. Amazing
