"See if she can handle every family burden" ooff, right in the feels. Seriously though I love every line from this song. Rarely do we get to see the strong ones in the movies be this vulnerable and honest.
The second time around when all those boulders are falling on her? If yes, that's kind of heartbreaking like she's screaming out for help but can't ask because she is the one who helps not the other way around.
I saw your reaction on “We don’t talk about Bruno” and I was like “Dang I can’t wait to see his breakdown of Surface Pressure” sure enough, it was uploaded 5 minutes before I searched it 🤪 you’ve earned yourself a subscriber my friend
The scene where Luisa is holding the rocks while looking at her sister is so powerful. She seems so strong but her face expression is screaming for help, I love it
5:07 Luisa's expression as the weight keeps mounting on her back is the face of someone just screaming out for help. Combined with the soft piano notes that sort of belie her vulnerable interior, while the bass underneath acts like that pressure that just drips and drips and drips, that part of the song never fails to make me feel omg
And notice that Mirabel is extending her hand towards her, like she wants to help, but doesn´t know how (ultimately tough she manages to help the whole family).
The part where the lighting goes red and Luisa is carrying the rocks right after such a happy, weightless scene in the clouds always gets me. She sounds so honest and vulnerable! The lines like 'I think I might be worthless if I can't be of service,' 'Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt her,' and 'Don't wonder if the same pressure would have pulled you under,' are so raw. Wow.
I love that you can almost hear anger behind "Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and/See if she can handle every family burden!" Like she's always the rock that the whole family depends on and maybe she's getting tired of it. I can't explain why i love those lines so much but it almost sounds desperate or angry and it's just so good
The song Dos Oroguitas is the one that the producers are choosing for awards. It was nominated for a Golden Globe, and it's expected to be nominated for an Oscar.
I think Surface Pressure should be the nominated one. Dos Oruguitas is sad and soft, is nice, but I think Surface Pressure is more powerfull, no only for the lirycs but for the music too. Surface Pressure is relatable even without context, while Dos Oruguitas hit more with in the context. Idk, I belive "Is ok to let out how you feel" is a better massage than "we have to move on", but I guess that's just my opinion.
@@sofialu226 As someone who absolutely adores Surface Pressure, I have to disagree with you on your take of Dos Oruguitas. It is about moving on, but it's about much more than that. It's about finding your way in an ever changing world, not holding onto the past, and about not hiding and getting stuck in your chrysalis/cocoon because of traumatic life experiences, but instead realizing that any caterpillar has to first dissolve into a gooey mass to eventually become the butterfly its meant to be. To fully spread our wings, we have to go through hardships, and sometimes we have to let go of people or things we love, but also grief that keeps us trapped in the past. Sometimes we have to go our own way first before we can find our way back together. Hardships are a part of life, and Dos Oruguitas is a beautifully nuanced exploration of grief, acceptance and healing. It definitely deserves the nomination.
@@magiv4205 I know that, but for me is still basically moving on. To Move on, you have to go through all of that anyways by default. In different levels, yes, sometimes is harder, others essier, but still have to go through stuff to being able to move on. But That's a more common spoken topic than the pressure of expectation from others and from ourselves (at least in my surroundings). But well, that's just how I see it. Both are great though. I wasn't saying Dos Oruguitas was bad, far from it. I just felt that Surface Pressuere would work better.
@@sofialu226 That's a fair point. I don't necessarily fully agree, but that's fine, we both have our experiences and we're both allowed to have our opinions. And we can at least agree that both songs are absolutely incredible.
I love how this uses an anti drop. It really shows how even just saying this and admitting how much pressure she’s under just immediately takes a weight off her shoulders. Then the slower build up after (especially before the last chorus) makes you feel how stressful her entire life has been.
The break has a much slower tempo as she describes being finally relieved of the pressure she feels, but as soon as she even mentions that "instead we measure the pressure" the tempo doubles up, the backing reminds her of "pressure - pressure - pressure - pressure" and the climax starts again. Wonderful.
More than just a ‘modern’ feel, Encanto has songs based upon the numerous genres popular and present in Colombia, ‘Surface Pressure’ come from Reggaeton/Trap, ‘We don’t Talk about Bruno’ is a form of cha cha cha, ‘Waiting on a Miracle’ is a waltz (you’ll rarely see a Disney song, much less an ‘I want song’, in 3/4 time) and ‘What else can I do?’ is reminiscent of latin rock in Spanish. Colombia’s music is so diverse that Lin Manuel Miranda managed to create a full soundtrack where each song has a different genre and different influence in mind.
That comment about 3/4 time made me think...I came up with three Disney waltzes off the top of my head but only one of them (Ma Belle Evangeline from Princess and the Frog) had words. (The other two are both "princess dancing with prince" scenes, one from Frozen and the other also from Princess And the Frog). There's also Once Upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty but that tune came from an existing classical piece so it doesn't really count. And all of those are "romantic dance" songs, not character solos.
@@dbseamz yeah, usually musicals use waltzes as romantic pieces, however Lin uses the 3/4 time of the waltz to mark a character feeling out of place, he did the same with Nina’s song ‘Breathe’ for In The Heights.
Lin Manuel Miranda is such an amazing composer. Of course, everyone knows his biggest hit of all time right now is Hamilton, as well as In the Heights, and Moana. I cant wait to hear what LMM comes up with next for us all.
I legitimately cried in the theatres during this song god i didn’t go into that movie expecting to feel that raw feeling as the older sibling that took on a lot of the family drama and making everything ok for my younger siblings. God it hit hard
Actually, Luisa is the middle child while Isabella’s the oldest. But even Isabella’s struggling because she never wanted to be perfect, she wants to be who she truly is.
@@tararocksong5085 she may be the middle sister but she definitely takes on the role of the oldest sister. I have two older half sisters and my oldest half sister just is always in her own thing and to be quite Frank she's not a very good person and she's an even worse sibling. It's my second oldest half-sister that takes only role of the older sister making sure that me and our younger brother are protected and taking care of and she always has been that mother role. Hearing this song just absolutely made me cry thinking of my older sister that was the protector and still is.
This is, for me, the most relatable song in the movie. The way she sang, "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" always hits home. And yes, her voice! Loved it. ❤️
Lin-Manuel Miranda is pure genius. Every song in *Encanto* is phenomenal. I love that every time she says *"Under the Surface"* they triple up the vocal layers. It helps you FEEL it even more. This whole song is telling my internal life story.
LMM said somewhere that he wrote this song as a tribute/sorta-apology to his own older sister, who he knows had a lot more family responsibility growing up than he did.
The part no one talks about that breaks me every time is at 5:28. Mirabell Jumps up to try to help but she knows she can't which just makes her more afraid and feeling helpless as she watches her sister suffer and i just. AH
Even tho "We don't talk about Bruno" and "Surface Pressure" are both really awesome songs and I absolutely love them I gotta say my favorite song from the movie is not either of them. My favorite song is called "Dos Oruguitas". It's very different compared to these two, very beautiful and emotional song that I think is getting a little underrated from these songs in the movie. I mean it doesn't have that "beat" or "pop" that these two songs have and which is why it's easy to like them but still "Dos Oruguitas" is my favorite¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hope you'll do a reaction video for that as well:)
I loved how Luisa always took care of Mirabel in that song. She always catches her and even when she sends Mira in air, she's super gentle and delicate. It really matches to the singing.
@@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.
For the song to build up and then wait and start going softer again makes me think of everytime someone's pressure keeps building they have to bring themselves back before they break. So it's non stop tension that will never be able to resolve itself. I honestly really loved this song so relatable and they do it so well and so many meanings to this song like you can find meaning in every aspect of this song.
Literally I have no words that could do this song justice easily my favorite part s the scene after the one with Luisa floating in the clouds. The impact of those boulders dropping just get's me every time, it gives me chills. It's so sudden but not overwhelming. The song isn't trying to be this epic, crazy, loud tune in that specific scene, it's raw and just blends perfectly into the climax. And one thing I can't praise enough is the extremely sudden change between the peacefulness of the previous scene, and the next one. It's so jarring but in a good way. If that whole cloud seen was cut out, the impact between the one before it and the one with the falling boulders wouldn't be as significant. Excellent job on the writers part and Jessica Darrow is just incredible
These lyrics are incredible, as is the composition of the song. However, this is what happens when Lin Manuel Miranda gets involved. Credit definitely goes to him rather than Disney. He is a genius.
I really love "Encanto". It has a very special place in my mind and heart 🤗💜 And you know one of the things I really loved about Encanto: The main female leads have more of a lower vocal tone than the ones from other classic Disney movies. I can comfortably sing these. Plus, that factor I mentioned doesn't take away from the quality of the music. They're all still such bops 😌
I don’t know if anyone has told you but all of these songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, writer of Hamilton and In The Heights. No generic Disney composer could have come up with this absolute gold!!
Oh my gosh!!! Your reaction when the whole musical theme shifts “pressure drip drip drip” was mine…. This is my favorite song. I can totally relate to the message and the musical styles and the dichotomy between the emotion and how we try to hide the stress in our lives. Kinda like when Mirabel sings about how She’s fine, she’s fine and she’s not fine…. Seriously. This whole film is relatable across so many cultures. I love it even more in Spanish!!!
Loved your reaction and hope you appreciated the vocals of the singer. Alot of reactions have just addressed the lyrics, but the vocalists does has some amazing range and the emotion that she conveys is unreal! Makes me tear up every time
@@CodyMcManus Surprisingly there were people that called her a weak singer because of that grit in her voice and I can only wonder if they actually listened to the lyrics. The grit and growl is perfect!
I loved this song and was like: “oh man! I can’t wait to see the whole song and video!” And I realised she was smiling at parts where she was singing about being under pressure! But over all this is a good song
I liked the line "Line up the dominos, a light wind blows, you try to stop it toppling, on and on it goes". My favorite duet song would be what else can I do, and also Dos Oruguitas.
Surface Pressure is my favorite. I cry every time. The song just gets me, and they way the vocalist captures the tough, stalwart exterior with the undertones of fear and lack of confidence, combine with the subtle expressions on the animated character. I've heard it 5 or 6 times since watching the film and it still gets me. Can't get through this one without tissues.
I had the exactly reaction to Surface Pressure! It’s my favorite song of Encanto! I literally get so emotional hearing it every time because her awesome vocals, but also the way they did the beat to emphasize everything perfectly!!!
As someone who has a sister who’s 8 years older than me, I can really relate to this. She just shoulder everything when our parents aren’t around when we’re young. So glad to see that she’s more relaxed now I’m graduating and older. Hahaha I really love her 💖 to all the older/oldest child out there who takes care of the family and takes so much burden, ya’ll so amazing 🤧
My favorite song is "What Else Can I do?" Its a beautiful moment of connection between Isabella and Mirabell, Isabella being the flower girl from "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
Idk if you saw at the recommended video, but Disney recently released a 21 countries version of we don't talk about Bruno and the casting for every country featured was amazing.
Her voice is insane and such a welcome change to the typical power ballads that Disney produces. This is a real vocal fry with a healthy tone. LOVE THIS SONG!
I love "was Hercules ever like yo I don't wnat to fight Cerberus" Louise is terrified what is coming can't be solved with her streanth and if she can't save her family.
Fun fact! If you listen to this song on Spotify, or without the video in general, you can hear the actress sigh between the opening lines, like a deep exhale. It gets drowned out in the video with the sound effects, but just the song, it's so powerful and adds to the tension and pressure she's feeling. Talking about how she's the strong one -exhale-, she moves mountains -exhale-, so powerful. I actually didn't particularly like this song when i first watched the movie. It felt too modern to be a Disney song, then I realized I didn't care if it wasn't Disney whimsical, it's amazing and so so good.
It's been a long time since a song has grabbed at my heart like this one does every time. It's the ultimate representation of the pressure put on a lot of the oldest children in dysfunctional families.
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.
okay but the fact that I don’t like reaction videos and usually skip when they pause the video, but actually loved this video and we don’t talk about Bruno.. just subscribed, please react to all the encanto songs 🥺
This song is my favorite. I find it relatable because I'm the eldest of 6 and i find everything about this song hitting pressure points and it just makes me emotional lol.
I love how excited you get about music. It's refreshing to see someone so passionate about something. I mean obviously it's your job, but I can tell your reactions are genuine.
I just saw your reaction on we don't talk about Bruno, and I wanted you to react to this song! And you just did ! Which is awesome. I really like your reactions. And you should definitely react to all the songs from the movie because all of them are awesome in their own way ❤️
Kudos to the animating and design teams for 5:07. That look breaks me every time i see it. Just the absolute fear in her face and posture. Just the moment where the facade completely breaks down 100%, if just for the moment. And Mirabel just completely looking just as scared, and just lost for what to do. Conveys the ENTIRE point of this song, and its BEAUTIFUL
One thing I LOVE about this song is that her voice becomes lighter and lighter as the song goes on. So when she is talking and starts the song she has this base to her voice. Its her tough outer sheller. Then the drop into "Pressure like a drip drip drip" it has her voice go higher and it shows that under that shell is this person who is feeling like the weight is crushing her but can't show it. When she switches into the part where she is almost elated talking about relaxation her voice goes just a bit higher and shows this is her "Wistfulness" this is what she deeply wants, needs, but can't voice. The moment she turns her face away from Mirabel made me want to cry, she is so ashamed of these feelings. She hates that Mirabel is seeing her so "Weak" because she has tried for so long to keep that tough outer shell up and appear like the unmovable mountain of a women she is. She is strong but being strong doesn't mean she can't hurt or need a break. But that look of shame just makes me feel so bad for her because you can see how Mirabel jumps up as the weight stacks up and up and Mirabel has that body language of "What do I do?" because she wants to help but can't and it makes me love their relationship so much because Luisa takes care of Mirabel throughout the song and Mirabel wants so badly to help her sister but doesn't know how.
This is one of my favorite reactions to Surface Pressure. I hope you can also have a chance to react to the rest of the Encanto songs. All of them are amazing!
I love how you explain and actually gives informative comments about the song and the singer. You earned a new sub! Looking forward for more Encanto songs reaction videos.
The line that gets me is, "Give it to your sister it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden," just shows how she feels honestly. That line is as vulnerable as it is, as the whole song. Lyrically, this is the best song that was written. Lin Manual did such an amazing job at writing this. but if you actually notice Luisa's face while singing this song, she looks like shes about to cry and it breaks my heart. Round of applause
Favourite song? That’s tough… I think surface pressure is my fav (looking forward to trying it at karaoke). Bruno is amazing (but might be challenging to make into a karaoke number…) Dos oruguitas (two caterpillars) is maybe the best song. It’s the one Disney submitted to the Academy for consideration. It’s hauntingly beautiful (especially the soundless visuals juxtaposed to the beautiful acoustic Spanish song)
Speaking of karaoke, I'm pretty sure "Surface Pressure", "Waiting on a Miracle", and "Dos Oruguitas" are the only true solos in the movie. Mirabel has a few lines in "What Else Can I Do", Alma has a stanza in "The Family Madrigal", and "Our Encanto" is a group number that has a few harmonies. On the other hand if I had three or four other people to sing with me I would love to try karaoke-ing "We Don't Talk About Bruno", it would be so fun to do the part at the end where everyone sings at once. I think with my vocal range I'd be best at Pepa's part or maybe Isabela's.
I feel like you should continue on the sisters route and check out "What Else Can I Do?" such a beautiful song! This song is so impactful, holy moly the lyrics are so beautifully put together not to mention Luisa's delivery is amazing! Also wanted to let you know that I'm currently binge watching your BLACKPINK reactions and they are awesome💖
Hey... there's a list of the amazing songs produced for this film. And most reviewers and reactor are omitting Antonio's Voice, which has a lot to explore (even if it's considered score).
The actress/singer who plays Luisa is adorable. She's also did a jazz cover of this song, and from a short clip released recently I think she's working on a punk version (at the very least, she did an amazing 30 seconds)
I like the contrast between the earlier choruses and the last one. There's a duality there, like the pressure is crushing her and in the early choruses she suffers it, she resents it, but in the last chorus her pride comes back in. She's proud of her ability to take the pressure, even as it grinds at her. Her strength is both burden and triumph. It's nicely done.
I love how you keep repeating “oh her voice!” Lol I was the same!!!!!its soooooo nice to hear a strong and powerful alto when most female Disney songs are sung by sopranos….ps subscribed now
Something worth mentioning is how the song never peaks. It builds and builds and builds, and then resets with elements from previous lines added in, so it never "pops" as she so well stated. It's great when the method of a song matches the theme of the song.
@@CodyMcManus i think u should react to The Family Madrigal next. It'll introduce you to the characters, should give u a lil context about them. And its a REALLY fun song too.
Luisa is probably the most relatable character Disney ever came up with. She loves her family and wants to do everything she can to protect and provide for them, but as things keep piling on and piling on she starts to feel overwhelmed but she doesn’t want to admit she’s overwhelmed because in her mind that would be like letting her family down so she slaps on a smile and keeps powering through it all hoping to come out the other end of this rough patch leaving her with this grow “PRESSURE” hiding just, “UNDER THE SURFACE”. I can imagine almost every parent hearing this song got her instantly! The part that got to me was right after the cloud scene where she says with a voice sounding defeated “-that’ll never stop!” Because I think every adult has been there before at some point. Things get hard and stay hard for so long that you start to lose hope things will ever improve and you just mentally go, “This is my new normal I will never get through this… it’ll never stop…” I mean WOW!😮 Well done with the gut punch Disney!
I’m going to give the suggestion of maybe not listening to ALL of them before seeing the movie. As much as I love the reactions, I think, with Dos Oruguitas especially, the context is one of the most important parts
What a gradation fail with the interaction reminder. Nothing screams "I don't care about my content" like putting a midroll interaction reminder into the BEST PART OF THE SONG, just to gloat about not having enough subscribers. Honestly, I don't subscribe just based on the annoyance I experience during the videos and I can tell you, you hit my ceiling. Please never EVER do anything similar to 4:42. I hope to hear your side of the story so sincerely please explain what you were going for. Thanks
Luisa is my favorite character and this is absolutely my favorite song from the movie, I listen to them all outside of watching the movie but this one the most, I think the message and writing of this song is amazing and Jessica Darrow conveys SO much emotion in her voice it's unreal!!
most people only talk about the meaning and the lyrics of this song but no one ever talks about how beautifully she is using her voice so thank u for taking about it

“Give it to your sister and never wonder if that same pressure would’ve pulled you under” is my absolute favorite line from this movie! So perfect.
“I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service” absolutely wrecked me when I first heard it.
Same I had to watch it a few times to catch that line but it hits so hard

"And what if she fvcked up?"

I love the expression when the "pressure like a drip drip drip" line starts. Shocks everyone to the core it's so unexpected

And the animation zooming out on the beat is so cool too 😭

OMG yes. The animation there is amazing.
And how mirabel is looking at her worried and with such care is also amazing
I practically bawled on that part. It hit home so damn hard. This movie is so great, and this song is perfection.
Her expressions there are heartbreaking
Her hands slipping, the little grimace on her face, it's so perfect
5:07 Luisa's expression as the weight keeps mounting on her back is the face of someone just screaming out for help.

I can't explain why i love those lines so much but it almost sounds desperate or angry and it's just so good
HOLY SHIII IM AT THAT PART-
When the clip is focused on Mirabel over Luisa's shoulder, just look at Luisa's face. That says just as much as the entire song.
The song Dos Oroguitas is the one that the producers are choosing for awards. It was nominated for a Golden Globe, and it's expected to be nominated for an Oscar.

like yeah, the "pressure like a drip drip drip" gets me everytime
I concur.
Totally!
Agreed.
It was instantly my favorite since I heard Luisa say “I know what my worth is” !!
You can also hear in every chorus those whispers saying "pressure". It's subtle, but gives so much emphasis to the essence of the song.
I love how this uses an anti drop. It really shows how even just saying this and admitting how much pressure she’s under just immediately takes a weight off her shoulders. Then the slower build up after (especially before the last chorus) makes you feel how stressful her entire life has been.

Hearing this song just absolutely made me cry thinking of my older sister that was the protector and still is.
So hard felt feeling I forgot about
"Pressure like the drip drip drip,"
Boy I'm getting goosebumps, very catchy!
This is, for me, the most relatable song in the movie. The way she sang, "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" always hits home. And yes, her voice! Loved it. ❤️
Lin-Manuel Miranda is pure genius. Every song in *Encanto* is phenomenal. I love that every time she says *"Under the Surface"* they triple up the vocal layers. It helps you FEEL it even more. This whole song is telling my internal life story.
LMM said somewhere that he wrote this song as a tribute/sorta-apology to his own older sister, who he knows had a lot more family responsibility growing up than he did.
The part no one talks about that breaks me every time is at 5:28. Mirabell Jumps up to try to help but she knows she can't which just makes her more afraid and feeling helpless as she watches her sister suffer and i just. AH
Even tho "We don't talk about Bruno" and "Surface Pressure" are both really awesome songs and I absolutely love them I gotta say my favorite song from the movie is not either of them. My favorite song is called "Dos Oruguitas". It's very different compared to these two, very beautiful and emotional song that I think is getting a little underrated from these songs in the movie. I mean it doesn't have that "beat" or "pop" that these two songs have and which is why it's easy to like them but still "Dos Oruguitas" is my favorite¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hope you'll do a reaction video for that as well:)
Bro everytime I hear that song I cry ;w;
Dos Oruguitas makes me ugly cry every time
im tears everytime i hear that song like so serious
I relate to this
I didn't cry the first time watching the movie but after coming back to that song from this comment i sure did ;3;
I loved how Luisa always took care of Mirabel in that song. She always catches her and even when she sends Mira in air, she's super gentle and delicate. It really matches to the singing.
Jessica Darrow has such an amazing singing voice. Would love to hear more songs from her.
You should listen to 'The Family Madrigal' it's the first song from the film and explains the family as well as being a phenomenal song
Ok ill have to dive into it 😊
@@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.
@@CodyMcManus please do another reaction encanto surface pressure multilanguage video please 😇
For the song to build up and then wait and start going softer again makes me think of everytime someone's pressure keeps building they have to bring themselves back before they break. So it's non stop tension that will never be able to resolve itself. I honestly really loved this song so relatable and they do it so well and so many meanings to this song like you can find meaning in every aspect of this song.
Oh wow I didn't see it that way but you're totally right! It's like she's bringing herself back before she breaks. Now I love this song even more
I think it's also related to the "buckle, bend but never break". Buckle and bend motion relief some pressure, but eventurely your material will fail
Lin Manuel Miranda is a genious musical theater composer. He wrote Hamilton and In the Heights he also has a story credit on this movie.
Wow amazing compositions in this movie 😊
Literally I have no words that could do this song justice
easily my favorite part s the scene after the one with Luisa floating in the clouds. The impact of those boulders dropping just get's me every time, it gives me chills. It's so sudden but not overwhelming. The song isn't trying to be this epic, crazy, loud tune in that specific scene, it's raw and just blends perfectly into the climax. And one thing I can't praise enough is the extremely sudden change between the peacefulness of the previous scene, and the next one. It's so jarring but in a good way. If that whole cloud seen was cut out, the impact between the one before it and the one with the falling boulders wouldn't be as significant.
Excellent job on the writers part and Jessica Darrow is just incredible
These lyrics are incredible, as is the composition of the song. However, this is what happens when Lin Manuel Miranda gets involved. Credit definitely goes to him rather than Disney. He is a genius.
I really enjoyed how the lyrics switch to that informal slang "yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus" in the middle.
I really love "Encanto". It has a very special place in my mind and heart 🤗💜
And you know one of the things I really loved about Encanto: The main female leads have more of a lower vocal tone than the ones from other classic Disney movies.
I can comfortably sing these.
Plus, that factor I mentioned doesn't take away from the quality of the music. They're all still such bops 😌
Yeah they sing much lower! I really enjoyed this one
@@CodyMcManus You and me both😊
Can't wait for you to hop on "Dos Oruguitas" 🥰
That's my absolute favourite from the show
I don’t know if anyone has told you but all of these songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, writer of Hamilton and In The Heights. No generic Disney composer could have come up with this absolute gold!!
I GET CHILLS WHEN SHE SAYS “BUT UNDER THE SURFACE”
I love how he calls Lin Manuel Miranda a part of Disney's composers... cause you know he created the songs first
Oh my gosh!!! Your reaction when the whole musical theme shifts “pressure drip drip drip” was mine…. This is my favorite song. I can totally relate to the message and the musical styles and the dichotomy between the emotion and how we try to hide the stress in our lives. Kinda like when Mirabel sings about how She’s fine, she’s fine and she’s not fine…. Seriously. This whole film is relatable across so many cultures. I love it even more in Spanish!!!
EVERY SINGLE TIME THE PRESSURE LIKE A DRIP DRIP DRIP PART COMES OUT I GET GOOSEBUMPS. EVERY. TIME.
Same!
Loved your reaction and hope you appreciated the vocals of the singer. Alot of reactions have just addressed the lyrics, but the vocalists does has some amazing range and the emotion that she conveys is unreal! Makes me tear up every time
Yes she is so talented!
@@CodyMcManus Surprisingly there were people that called her a weak singer because of that grit in her voice and I can only wonder if they actually listened to the lyrics. The grit and growl is perfect!
I loved this song and was like: “oh man! I can’t wait to see the whole song and video!” And I realised she was smiling at parts where she was singing about being under pressure! But over all this is a good song
I liked the line "Line up the dominos, a light wind blows, you try to stop it toppling, on and on it goes". My favorite duet song would be what else can I do, and also Dos Oruguitas.
I would highly recommend continuing the Encanto series with “What else can I do?”
Its another amazing song with a great message!
YES
IMO the BEST song on the soundtrack. Her raw emotion is what makes this song so perfect.
Surface Pressure is my favorite. I cry every time. The song just gets me, and they way the vocalist captures the tough, stalwart exterior with the undertones of fear and lack of confidence, combine with the subtle expressions on the animated character. I've heard it 5 or 6 times since watching the film and it still gets me. Can't get through this one without tissues.
This was my second time listening and I got goose bumps
Yes
I had the exactly reaction to Surface Pressure! It’s my favorite song of Encanto! I literally get so emotional hearing it every time because her awesome vocals, but also the way they did the beat to emphasize everything perfectly!!!
As someone who has a sister who’s 8 years older than me, I can really relate to this. She just shoulder everything when our parents aren’t around when we’re young. So glad to see that she’s more relaxed now I’m graduating and older. Hahaha I really love her 💖 to all the older/oldest child out there who takes care of the family and takes so much burden, ya’ll so amazing 🤧
What do you think of Surface Pressure? 👇
I love this song 💗
It's awesome! You should hear all the Encanto songs !
IM sooooo happy you kept reacting to all these
I relate too much so I get emotional every time! Btw Cody, it’s pronounced en-cahn-to!☺️ it’s not biggie! I’m sure you’re not the only one!💜
It's my favorite song in the movie.
My favorite song is "What Else Can I do?" Its a beautiful moment of connection between Isabella and Mirabell, Isabella being the flower girl from "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
That song used to annoy me until I actually took a look at/ really listened to the lyrics. It blew me away.
Idk if you saw at the recommended video, but Disney recently released a 21 countries version of we don't talk about Bruno and the casting for every country featured was amazing.
wow that is so cool!
Her voice is insane and such a welcome change to the typical power ballads that Disney produces. This is a real vocal fry with a healthy tone. LOVE THIS SONG!
The Melody is catchy, her voice is beautiful but the message is painful🤧(it's a good thing though)
The songs from this movie are amazing! Definitely also recommend “What Else Can I do” and “Waiting for a Miracle”
I love "was Hercules ever like yo I don't wnat to fight Cerberus" Louise is terrified what is coming can't be solved with her streanth and if she can't save her family.
Luisa*
Fun fact! If you listen to this song on Spotify, or without the video in general, you can hear the actress sigh between the opening lines, like a deep exhale. It gets drowned out in the video with the sound effects, but just the song, it's so powerful and adds to the tension and pressure she's feeling. Talking about how she's the strong one -exhale-, she moves mountains -exhale-, so powerful.
I actually didn't particularly like this song when i first watched the movie. It felt too modern to be a Disney song, then I realized I didn't care if it wasn't Disney whimsical, it's amazing and so so good.
It's been a long time since a song has grabbed at my heart like this one does every time. It's the ultimate representation of the pressure put on a lot of the oldest children in dysfunctional families.
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.
Which song from Encanto should I listen to next? 👇
Waiting on a Miracle!
Family Madrigal
Welcome to the family margle
it has to be Welcome to the family margle. a great song.
although I will recommend watching the movie
Dos Oruguitas. New subscriber here 🤗
okay but the fact that I don’t like reaction videos and usually skip when they pause the video, but actually loved this video and we don’t talk about Bruno.. just subscribed, please react to all the encanto songs 🥺
SAME!
This song is my favorite. I find it relatable because I'm the eldest of 6 and i find everything about this song hitting pressure points and it just makes me emotional lol.
She uses her deep voice when singing about her strength, her higher pitch when being vulnerable.
I love how excited you get about music. It's refreshing to see someone so passionate about something. I mean obviously it's your job, but I can tell your reactions are genuine.
Your reaction on the chorus, I bet was how I looked like as well during the first time I heard it. This reaction is amazing. Can't wait for the next!
You might as well do the other songs because they're equally as beautiful. :3 My recommendation would be "Waiting on a Miracle" next.
I second this! Tons of emotion in that song as well.
Ok ill see what i can do! I need to listen to more 😌
"Waiting on a Miracle" made cry when i first heard it. It resonated with me heavily.
My favorite songs from Encanto are a three way tie between We Don't Talk About Bruno, Surface Pressure, and Dos Oruguitas
As a fellow Alto like Jessica Darrow, it makes me so happy that we finally got an amazing alto lead song 🥺
I just saw your reaction on we don't talk about Bruno, and I wanted you to react to this song! And you just did ! Which is awesome. I really like your reactions. And you should definitely react to all the songs from the movie because all of them are awesome in their own way ❤️
Totally agree
Yay! Thanks for watching 😊😊
Just an added comment…at the end of the song, Mirabel hugs her sister which is something that she really needed.
Well now you gotta do all 8 of them. They're all amazing. There wasn't really an off song in this entire line up.
Kudos to the animating and design teams for 5:07. That look breaks me every time i see it. Just the absolute fear in her face and posture. Just the moment where the facade completely breaks down 100%, if just for the moment. And Mirabel just completely looking just as scared, and just lost for what to do. Conveys the ENTIRE point of this song, and its BEAUTIFUL
One thing I LOVE about this song is that her voice becomes lighter and lighter as the song goes on. So when she is talking and starts the song she has this base to her voice. Its her tough outer sheller. Then the drop into "Pressure like a drip drip drip" it has her voice go higher and it shows that under that shell is this person who is feeling like the weight is crushing her but can't show it. When she switches into the part where she is almost elated talking about relaxation her voice goes just a bit higher and shows this is her "Wistfulness" this is what she deeply wants, needs, but can't voice.
The moment she turns her face away from Mirabel made me want to cry, she is so ashamed of these feelings. She hates that Mirabel is seeing her so "Weak" because she has tried for so long to keep that tough outer shell up and appear like the unmovable mountain of a women she is. She is strong but being strong doesn't mean she can't hurt or need a break. But that look of shame just makes me feel so bad for her because you can see how Mirabel jumps up as the weight stacks up and up and Mirabel has that body language of "What do I do?" because she wants to help but can't and it makes me love their relationship so much because Luisa takes care of Mirabel throughout the song and Mirabel wants so badly to help her sister but doesn't know how.
waiting on a miracle is so good too, honestly the entire soundtrack is outstanding.
This is one of my favorite reactions to Surface Pressure. I hope you can also have a chance to react to the rest of the Encanto songs. All of them are amazing!
I love how you explain and actually gives informative comments about the song and the singer. You earned a new sub! Looking forward for more Encanto songs reaction videos.
Awesome! Thank you!😊
This is the first time I’ve noticed the little “pressure” whispers in the background and I love this song
The line that gets me is, "Give it to your sister it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden," just shows how she feels honestly. That line is as vulnerable as it is, as the whole song. Lyrically, this is the best song that was written. Lin Manual did such an amazing job at writing this. but if you actually notice Luisa's face while singing this song, she looks like shes about to cry and it breaks my heart. Round of applause
Favourite song? That’s tough… I think surface pressure is my fav (looking forward to trying it at karaoke). Bruno is amazing (but might be challenging to make into a karaoke number…)
Dos oruguitas (two caterpillars) is maybe the best song. It’s the one Disney submitted to the Academy for consideration. It’s hauntingly beautiful (especially the soundless visuals juxtaposed to the beautiful acoustic Spanish song)
Speaking of karaoke, I'm pretty sure "Surface Pressure", "Waiting on a Miracle", and "Dos Oruguitas" are the only true solos in the movie. Mirabel has a few lines in "What Else Can I Do", Alma has a stanza in "The Family Madrigal", and "Our Encanto" is a group number that has a few harmonies. On the other hand if I had three or four other people to sing with me I would love to try karaoke-ing "We Don't Talk About Bruno", it would be so fun to do the part at the end where everyone sings at once. I think with my vocal range I'd be best at Pepa's part or maybe Isabela's.
Yes
I personally like the song All Of You in this movie. The message of the song is just so great and emotional at the same time.
This is classic Lin-Manuel Miranda gold.
Such a great composition!
I remember someone saying that Disney songs are only like 60% singing and it's 40% voice acting as well and I totally agree with that statement
Surface Pressure, We Don't Talk About Bruno, and Dos Origuitas are my favs of the movie.
I feel like you should continue on the sisters route and check out "What Else Can I Do?" such a beautiful song!
This song is so impactful, holy moly the lyrics are so beautifully put together not to mention Luisa's delivery is amazing! Also wanted to let you know that I'm currently binge watching your BLACKPINK reactions and they are awesome💖
Hey... there's a list of the amazing songs produced for this film. And most reviewers and reactor are omitting Antonio's Voice, which has a lot to explore (even if it's considered score).
i need to listen to them all!
Thats one of my favorite from the score, it’s beautiful
1:52 his reaction😂😂😂
The actress/singer who plays Luisa is adorable. She's also did a jazz cover of this song, and from a short clip released recently I think she's working on a punk version (at the very least, she did an amazing 30 seconds)
I like the contrast between the earlier choruses and the last one. There's a duality there, like the pressure is crushing her and in the early choruses she suffers it, she resents it, but in the last chorus her pride comes back in. She's proud of her ability to take the pressure, even as it grinds at her. Her strength is both burden and triumph. It's nicely done.
I love how you keep repeating “oh her voice!” Lol I was the same!!!!!its soooooo nice to hear a strong and powerful alto when most female Disney songs are sung by sopranos….ps subscribed now
The song is not just good but it has very meaningful lyrics as well.
You have to listen her jazz version of the song. It is so gooooood
Watched this with my fiancée and my 6 year old daughter and instantly said “This is by far my favorite Disney song ever” it was fantastic
Something worth mentioning is how the song never peaks. It builds and builds and builds, and then resets with elements from previous lines added in, so it never "pops" as she so well stated. It's great when the method of a song matches the theme of the song.
Just subscribed! Loved the content! You should react to the whole movie, context make it even more dramatic and captivating
Yes! I think i should
I literally subscribed just so i can be notified when your Encanto reactions come out. React to other songs too. 👍
YAY thank you 😊 I sure will
@@CodyMcManus i think u should react to The Family Madrigal next. It'll introduce you to the characters, should give u a lil context about them. And its a REALLY fun song too.
Please react to "What else can I do" from Encanto it's the other sister's Isabela's song and it's so so beautiful:)
My favorite song from Encanto is surface pressure, and the way you broke it down is so amazingly entertaining. You earned yourself another sub!
Luisa is probably the most relatable character Disney ever came up with. She loves her family and wants to do everything she can to protect and provide for them, but as things keep piling on and piling on she starts to feel overwhelmed but she doesn’t want to admit she’s overwhelmed because in her mind that would be like letting her family down so she slaps on a smile and keeps powering through it all hoping to come out the other end of this rough patch leaving her with this grow “PRESSURE” hiding just, “UNDER THE SURFACE”.
I can imagine almost every parent hearing this song got her instantly!
The part that got to me was right after the cloud scene where she says with a voice sounding defeated “-that’ll never stop!” Because I think every adult has been there before at some point. Things get hard and stay hard for so long that you start to lose hope things will ever improve and you just mentally go, “This is my new normal I will never get through this… it’ll never stop…”
I mean WOW!😮 Well done with the gut punch Disney!
I’m going to give the suggestion of maybe not listening to ALL of them before seeing the movie. As much as I love the reactions, I think, with Dos Oruguitas especially, the context is one of the most important parts
What a gradation fail with the interaction reminder. Nothing screams "I don't care about my content" like putting a midroll interaction reminder into the BEST PART OF THE SONG, just to gloat about not having enough subscribers. Honestly, I don't subscribe just based on the annoyance I experience during the videos and I can tell you, you hit my ceiling. Please never EVER do anything similar to 4:42. I hope to hear your side of the story so sincerely please explain what you were going for. Thanks
I was literally just moving my cursor towards the Like button when that happened and it completely changed my mind
The part that always gets me is right after she's crushed by the house and belts "No mistakes". It just gives me goosebumps.
Luisa is my favorite character and this is absolutely my favorite song from the movie, I listen to them all outside of watching the movie but this one the most, I think the message and writing of this song is amazing and Jessica Darrow conveys SO much emotion in her voice it's unreal!!
most people only talk about the meaning and the lyrics of this song but no one ever talks about how beautifully she is using her voice so thank u for taking about it
For some reason when luisa says “under the surface, I hide my nerves and it worsens” it just satisfies me SOOOOOO Much.
SURFACE PRESSURE IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM ENCANTO!! AND YOU'VE ARTICULATED THE REASON WHY. LOVE THIS REACTION AND ANALYSIS.
I can't just pick one song, they all sound so amazing.
Just the way she sings the word “burden” puts a lump in my throat, this is the best song from Encanto (DO NOT talk about Bruno)
The amount of characterization she delivers with her voice is something else.
