Keep Antonio Cipriano’s name in the back of your mind, he’s incredibly talented and is gonna be the next Ben Platt, Jeremy Jordan, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Trust me, if you look further into his musical history you’ll see what I mean
HOLY CRAP 1:27 WAS SUCH AN AWESOME MOMENT. He could've just replaced the "Faces that I used to know" line or ignored its meaning and sang it normally but instead he added a whole new layer of meaning to it? Like, the singer is trying so hard to be encouraging and reassuring but at this point he slips up and you can see a part of him is hurt and mad at Nina for having grown distant from him and the neighbourhood, maybe even feels it was selfish of hee to quit college, and he's trying to push that anger down for her sake. It changes the entire emotion behind the song and it's so wonderfully acted. God bless
This is your street You smile at the faces you’ve known all your life We regard you with pride And everyone’s sweet, we say “You're going places” So why do you say that while you were away you had so much to hide?
“hey guys, it's me” You could never disappoint us you know- You think you can't hack it You’re back and you’re walking real slow Welcome home just breathe
Just breathe
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros Remember the days when this city was yours
Remember the praise “Ay, the adoro, te quiero” The neighborhood waved, And said, "Nina, be brave, And you're gonna be fine!"
And maybe its me But it all seems like lifetimes ago Si what do you say to the faces That you used to know? “Hi, I’m home”?
Mira, Nina, hey We’re not worried about you We are all hoping that you will succeed You are the one who made it out The one who always made the grade While all of us here have just stayed home
When you were a child you stayed wide awake Climbed to the highest place on every fire escape
Restless to climb you got every scholarship Saved every dollar the first to go to college
You can tell them why you’re coming back home With your eyes on the horizon You and me and the GWB Thinking: gee, Nina, there is so much you could be
Straighten your spine, smile for the neighbors Everything’s fine, everything’s cool The standard reply:lots of tests, lots of papers Smile, wave goodbye, and pray to the sky
Oh, God
Who cares what your parents say? I know that they’ll be okay Just know you’re not letting us down Nina, just breathe

The "you're coming back home" of the bridge SENT me - even reminded me of a young Christopher Jackson. Definitely has one of the most beautiful tones I've ever heard. Makes me want to hear him sing "one last time"
Imagine part of this as a reprise from Bennie in the movie, especially the when you were a child part!! Also he lowkey really sounds like Chris Jackson for some reason, is it just me?
"you know you could never disappoint us" "There is so much you can be" “just know you’re not letting us down” I love this song from the beginning, but hearing this version is like hearing another version and point of view. Obsessed
Y’all are so nice. I, unfortunately, flunked out. I’m looking for the positive side tho because I had really neglected my mental health for years and I’m finally taking some time to work on that. I won’t graduate in December like planned but I will eventually!
literally gave me chills and made me cry, I've known this boy would be going places for so long and it's amazing to see him on stages after I've been seeing him in youtube covers for so long. so proud of him and can't wait until the whole world finally sees his talent. would love to see him on stage in jagged little pill if I could. can't wait to see how far he goes.
We'll see him on Broadway. His voice is Powerful and full of conviction. Pitch perfect. I'd place him in my Jeremy Jordan category of talent, vocals and presence. Can't wait to see his career take off to the stars. ~My bad...you're on Broadway already. Your reach is far n wide.
Lmao as soon as he sang "you could never disappoint us, you know" i completely lost it and sobbed through the whole rest of the video. Breathe has always hit too close to home for me. I had no idea hearing the other side of it was something i've needed to hear
To the guy filming, thank you so much for this. I'm on another continent and you gave me the chance to hear and see this beautiful masterpiece. Thank you.
I remember listening to breathe senior year of hs and it conceptualizing all my fears about college and failing. As a junior in college now I teared up bc this is such a reassuring way to twist the song
I see the first part of the song in Kevin's prospective reminding Nina that her Journey was still worth it and that he is still proud of her. The last verse is sung by Benny coming to terms with the fact that she may not return to Stanford and reassuring her that it will still be okay.
i wanna say i relate to Nina just from this song but i'm just dippin my toe into this musical/fandom and i don't wanna upset anybody but like this boi's version just encouraged me to stick to my homework

everyone's saying imagine Benny singing this to Nina, but I'm imagining Kevin singing this to her, still so proud of his daughter
Ellie Andrew IT SO WOULD BE KEVIN
Oh my heart!
That’s a really nice image in my head 🤠
JSKAKASJAKKDKKSUCISS
I cried reading your comment
This is like an older brother reassuring Nina to not be scared to come home 😭
Funfact! Nina used to have an older brother in the original version who also had a crush on Benny.
@@barbicel holy geez what that would've been so cool
“You could never disappoint us you know.” 30 seconds in and I’m already crying.
CHANGING THE PRONOUNS MADE IT SO REASSURING. 😭
Stop omg I'm going to cry.
Keep Antonio Cipriano’s name in the back of your mind, he’s incredibly talented and is gonna be the next Ben Platt, Jeremy Jordan, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Trust me, if you look further into his musical history you’ll see what I mean
Cadyann Douglas oml riiiiight thats what Ive been saying
Okay, now Im intrigued
In my opinion he's way better than platt and Lin
@@drlt9241 how so?
And Aaron Tveit should be on that list
This version was somehow healing to me while I was in college. Especially “just know you’re not letting us down” 🥹
Famous in NY Video really out here enabling my growing crush on Antonio
I JUST LEARNED THAT HE'S YOUNGER THAN ME, GODDAMIT LIFE WHY ARE YOU UNFAIR
Now i really wish that there was some sort of breathe reprise in In The Hights
I know right!

Me: *clicks on video for the song*
Also me: who the hell is this guy?
Antonio: *sings first note*
Me: I like this human, I'm keeping him
same
True mood
Nope he's mine sorry. But... No. You can visit him from Monday to Wednesday from 4 pm to 6 pm. You're welcome 😘
This fandom be like, hippity hoppity antonio is now our property
MEEEEEEEEeeeeEEE
i thought i wouldn’t cry until “just know you’re not letting us down”. so amazing!
I literally didn't know who this guy was before I saw this video but in the space of four minutes I literally got chills and fell totally in love
I swear he’s singing straight to me. I’ve literally got tears streaming down my face right now, and I don’t even know why

Mira, Nina, hey
We’re not worried about you
We are all hoping that you will succeed
You are the one who made it out
The one who always made the grade
While all of us here have just stayed home
When you were a child
you stayed wide awake
Climbed to the highest place
on every fire escape
Restless to climb
you got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
the first to go to college
You can tell them why you’re coming back home
With your eyes on the horizon
You and me and the GWB
Thinking: gee, Nina, there is so much you could be
Straighten your spine, smile for the neighbors
Everything’s fine, everything’s cool
The standard reply:lots of tests, lots of papers
Smile, wave goodbye, and pray to the sky
Oh, God
Who cares what your parents say?
I know that they’ll be okay
Just know you’re not letting us down

Antonio really needs to be on Broadway, he’s really got it! What a performance, his voice is incredible!♥️
Maria S just wait for jagged little pill :)))
the original song already made me cry but this version just makes me cry MORE 😭
The "you're coming back home" of the bridge SENT me - even reminded me of a young Christopher Jackson. Definitely has one of the most beautiful tones I've ever heard. Makes me want to hear him sing "one last time"
Ahhhhh! Just thinking of Benny singing this to Nina!!!
Imagine part of this as a reprise from Bennie in the movie, especially the when you were a child part!! Also he lowkey really sounds like Chris Jackson for some reason, is it just me?
antonio brightens my fricking day up so much
"you know you could never disappoint us"
"There is so much you can be"
“just know you’re not letting us down”
I love this song from the beginning, but hearing this version is like hearing another version and point of view. Obsessed
his voice makes me feel things, this song made me feel a lot of things as senior going into college
the moment in the beginning when people realize what song he’s about to sing... damn chills
if ever i want feel reassured, might as well go back to this video every single time.
so comforting 🥺❤
this video just did my homework and cleared my skin oh my
This is hitting me really hard. I’m about to flunk out of college with only one semester to go...
you can do it. take this as your sign that you'll be okay.
Omg same
You got this! You have one semester left, it's gonna be awesome, you're gonna have an awesome elle woods redemption arc and do great!
You can do it. You've gotten this far and I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. You got this!!
Y’all are so nice. I, unfortunately, flunked out. I’m looking for the positive side tho because I had really neglected my mental health for years and I’m finally taking some time to work on that. I won’t graduate in December like planned but I will eventually!

Am I the only one who sees this version as more of an Abuela song than a Benny song?
I was JUST thinking that!
YES
I see this as a Kevin song tbh
Bro you better belt for your life... every time I see you perform, it’s better and better. You’re a star dude
this is lincoln rosario's response to nina's breathe perhaps i teared up
FUCK. I didn't even think about that.
As a student struggling with university, this is very comforting to listen to 🥺🥰
MY HEART
FIRST IT WAS NEEDING CONNOR SINGING TO ZOE BUT NOW I NEED BENNY SINGING TO NINA
edit: the triLL ON TE ADORO OMG
Great. Now i'm in my bedroom crying over this song again. It hits different this way. Absolute chills.
We'll see him on Broadway. His voice is Powerful and full of conviction. Pitch perfect. I'd place him in my Jeremy Jordan category of talent, vocals and presence. Can't wait to see his career take off to the stars.
~My bad...you're on Broadway already. Your reach is far n wide.
This version of this song is the hug that I need.
Lmao as soon as he sang "you could never disappoint us, you know" i completely lost it and sobbed through the whole rest of the video. Breathe has always hit too close to home for me. I had no idea hearing the other side of it was something i've needed to hear
when i am overwhelmd with work and life in general, i keep coming back to this video. it makes me cry then it makes me feel better afterwards.
To the guy filming, thank you so much for this. I'm on another continent and you gave me the chance to hear and see this beautiful masterpiece. Thank you.
Amazing voice and acting. Gave me chills
this has genuinely got me tearing up????
Oh damn this was good. It hit me right in the heart. This is for anyone who has ever felt they weren’t good enough.
Even the camera is shook at 3:31 for his vibrato 😂
I would like to thank Antonio Cipriano for making my day👌🏻🥰
he’s like noah centineo but talented
Lmaoo
Actually... I see it 😂😂
This is actually what I was thinking too. I am glad that someone else sees it. 😂😂😂
DoN’t DiS mY bOy, but yeah
I flunked 2 subjects out of 4 in my first semester of college and I kinda needed this, Antonio is amazing
I literally cried and felt the message of the song. I love him! Lot's of emotion when he sing.
His voice is a delicious gift to us all 🥰💞
i already cried after a minute of watching this performance
"Theres so much you can be" 💕
I watch this video every day
Thowback to difficult days when I thought I failed college, at that period I listened to this a lot :')
Absolute chills. What a talent Antonio has.
THIS HURTS AND I DON'T WANNA CRY TONIGHT
Will the Best of Pronoun Showdown ever be released as a soundtrack?
i keep coming back. its just so good
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful, beautiful song.
He's so good! Literal chills!😊
I honestly love the way he sings “you could never disappoint us, you know”
THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING I’VE EVER SEEN 🤩🤩🤩
I remember listening to breathe senior year of hs and it conceptualizing all my fears about college and failing. As a junior in college now I teared up bc this is such a reassuring way to twist the song
Nope. There’s no way. He’s not real. Absolutely not. Too good.
Oh my goodness I love Antonio! This is so good
I always identified with Nina and now I’m crying
Everytime I wanna bawl my eyes out until I’m comforted, I go back here lmao
His voice literally brightens my day like wow. I’m so happy he’s going to broadway because he deserves it so so much!
PUT THIS MAN IN ANYTHING.. LITERALLY ANYTHING. SO UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED.
this version is so special! 😭so lovely
Antonio needs a great big BROADWAY show to star in! He's the WHOLE package! What a voice!!! 👍🤗❤
From 2:13 on, my breath was on HOLD
That “Mira Nina” broke my heart😭
as someone named nina, i cry every time i watch this
this was so emotional and perfect I’m just 😍😭
My heart just melted
cannot.
stop.
watching.
why does this hurt a million times harder than the original
I’m sobbing omg 😭❤️
Yes I'm here again to say I LOVE this!
The original song hurt me enough. I did not need this one tonight😭💔
But seriously. This was amazing! Both the altered lyrics and the voice
ok wtf I got asmr tingles from this I have NEVER had that
this spoke to my soul
I can't breathe antonio
Absolutely fantastic
not me rewatching this everytime i feel down and then start crying 😭
i needed this version
He can literally take any role!
The amount of times I’ve watched this is getting out of hand 😂
I see the first part of the song in Kevin's prospective reminding Nina that her Journey was still worth it and that he is still proud of her. The last verse is sung by Benny coming to terms with the fact that she may not return to Stanford and reassuring her that it will still be okay.
Okay I’m crying
this is one of the best cover!
Wow wow wow!!! Breathtaking
this was so hopeful and sweet and lovely
his voice is j so attractive omg
Damn I needed this today
You're not letting us down. Take my soul. Actually, just take everything. Ethereal
Great adaptation. Singing it as a 3rd person. Real cool.
i wanna say i relate to Nina just from this song but i'm just dippin my toe into this musical/fandom and i don't wanna upset anybody but like this boi's version just encouraged me to stick to my homework
he just gave thus song so much more meaning
Wow...jaw dropping performance.
Teranjayyy huhu 😭😍✨
