One little detail I really like in the movie was how Nina started with straight hair & then after a day back in her neighborhood went back to curly hair. She had to hide her heritage to be able to fit in college but once back home was proudly displaying her latinidad!
Yes!!
That's awesome from a storytelling perspective and completely heartbreaking too
And she goes back with curly hair. Finally accepting that she's not the one that needs to make the change.
@@sanderf90 i didn’t even notice that, omg ❤️
Yeah, she want home with a straight hair, but I'm confused because she went to Salon with a wavy hair, before the time they made her hair curly. But no one cars, this was a great detail btw.
Lin has said that although he played Usnavi in the show, he related to Nina's story the most. Well I'm sure his community is super proud of all he's accomplished.
uh... lin didn't play usnavi. usnavi was played by anthony ramos. lin played the guy selling ice cream.
@@ScribbleScribbles on the stage musical, usnavi is played by Lin
@@juliamorgan2692 oh right lol- i haven't seen the stage musical yet so i don't know much about it rip
@@ScribbleScribbles haha it's ok. The stage one has some differences from the movie production, u should watch. It's pretty good too
@@juliamorgan2692 how do i watch the stage one?
Fun fact: The couple that sings 'Welcome Home' at 0:58 are Lins parents!
:O
Thank you!
Aww I love that!!
wut? 😲
There are many Broadway actors making cameos in the film.
Mandy Gonzalez is super talented and I love her but Leslie 100% captures Nina's sweetness, shyness and how young she is. I love it 🥺
I agree 100%
I agree. I love that she sounds her age here. Also, did I mention this was Leslie’s first ever movie.
Shyness ? Nina?
@@flanplan5903 really?!
@@atheerhassan5972 yes.
For those who don’t know, the woman singing at 1:52 is Doreen Montalvo, member of the original Broadway cast who also sang this line on the cast album as well as Para Siempre in Finale. She sadly passed away October of last year: May she rest in peace 😞
Alabanza Doreen
Alabanza...
Alabanza
RIP. 🙏
How?
okay Leslie, i see you. she has proven herself as Nina beyond question
Indeed, she has proven herself. She was really good! Everyone in the movie did their thing.
Watched this last night with my family. My parents are both immigrants from El Salvador. They’ve done everything under the sun to put food on the table and give us a future. They’ve always prioritized our education over almost everything. I relate to Nina so much. Feeling the pressure to be something more due the sacrifices made in our stead. God is good through all the struggles though. Now I can proudly say that I will be graduating as an Accountant in August. I am also an artist who writes comics in my free time. (We are human not just money makers). Thank you to all those familiares who sacrifice to allow us to succeed.
Congratulations!!!
@@keving1836 thank you 😊
Congratulations omg!! So happy for u and good luck!!
Congratulations! You’re an inspiration
I'm so damn proud of you
As a filipino-american, i love how so much of hispanic culture is also so relatable to us lmao. It's like that feeling when you're in on the inside jokes lol.
It's because filipinos are partly hispanic
@@TheSamuelbest12 yup, we're the mexicans of asia, as some people call it
@@lanskyzxc I mean the Spanish did invade the Philippines (I think. I might be wrong about that though,) so it kinda makes sense why our cultures are quite similar
@@dodobrain And the Spanish kept their rule on us for 333 years (yes, three hundred and thirty three years, and I wish that was a typo). What I'm saying is... we're the really distant cousins of hispanics, lmfao.
The hispanic culture's actually pretty relatable to every people of different countries who went to America between 1870/end of 1900 (so also Irish, Italians, Jewesh, Chinese and many others), because they were all threated like shit rip
I want leslie to voice a princess of disney
Yes it’s so rich and beautiful
💯. Yes this!!!
That would be cool
Yes
YES! An Afro-Latinx princess since we still don't have a legit Latinx princess anyway. That would be fire!
When I first heard this Breathe, I wasn't really a fan of it. I felt like Leslie Grace was holding back in this song and felt scared to sing. My second time watching the movie it then hit me that I was a dumbie and that is the intention since Nina in this scene is scared. Not only that, this song and many others in the movie love to build up to their climaxes rather than starting strong and not really growing much from there. Each song that does this feels like a journey in it's own right. In my opinion, that is what makes so many of these songs feel so emotionally impactful.
This version went from me not liking it, to wanting to cry each time I listen to it. God I love this movie.
i agree wholeheartedly. i did not like it my first listen, and now im addicted to this version. leslie did a wonderful job. the movie was so spectacular.
Me too! I feel like you can only fully appreciate these songs while watching the movie.The choreography, the scenery and the song’s place in context with the story. It adds so much! I felt the same about 96,000 and Paciencia y fe. At first I didn’t’t like their movie versions but after having seen them in the movie I love them so much! * - *
Yeah same, and the second time watching this with Vanessa for me to.
In college this is the song that actually gave me the courage to tell my parents how much I was struggling in school. I was so ashamed that I wasn't succeeding and was one bad grade away from being kicked out, and when I first heard the OBC recording I cried because it was exactly how I felt. I graduated eventually, and it was one of the proudest moments of my life. Leslie did such a good job showing how that felt.
Usnavi and Nina are probably my favorite voice wise in this movie
Agreed. They are my two favorites
Same. Also Corey absolutely nailed his role as Benny, along with Olga reprising her role. They stole the show
Benny too 😇
Benny was fire too!!
Don’t forget abuela Claudia
Well this hit hard... considering how I'm planning on dropping out of my masters degree on my final semester dissertation because I can't afford my final semester fee. Can't help but tear up every time I hear or sing this song.
I can relate so much to what you're going through.
Maybe start a GoFundMe? I know that your story would inspire people to donate and get you over that finish line.
Stay strong! That’s the best you can do
@@olliehernandez3934 well, GoFundMes aren't really there in my country, especially for personal issues like this. It's been a tough choice. My family has always been struggling financially because of a number of poor decisions by my father. And since I'm Asian we tend to stick with family even in adulthood. I was determined to pay off their debts anyhow and I raced through life working multiple jobs while going to college and now I just feel burnt out. Finances are thin but I'm also at a point where I'm beginning to doubt if I do have any energy left in me to do it. That's why this song hits just so hard with me. Nina second guessing herself and considering herself a disappointment hits right home. It's amazing how aptly LMM managed to describe the insecurities of an individual through such a beautiful song.
@@jennyk5753 you got this girl. will have you lifted.
I wish the best for u in this decisions
y'all i'm sorry i'm in love with this new key this is so fucking beautiful.
Same
hi! do you know what the new key is?? Its perfect for my voice, as it is a teeny bit lower than the broadway version
@@palomacole-gutierrez4194 The original key is in Ab major, in the movie it’s down a half step so this new key is A major, I’m not the best with this kind of stuff so I could be wrong haha.
@@Luke_The_Musical ah thank you!
@@palomacole-gutierrez4194 No problem!
This is song is relatable. As someone who grew up being labeled as gifted, smart and seems to have have everything under control, when im just trying to make it out of school alive
THE TRUTH!!!
This song resonates with me, but not for the obvious reasons. I'm not one with the weight of great expectations on my shoulders, but instead I get easily overwhelmed by really mundane stuff. So just that gentle "respira" had a huge impact on me, and this song has been living in my head rent free ever since I saw the movie.
This is exactly how I feel
From 2:25 to 2:50 gives me chills. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I love this song and movie
"No me preocupo por ella, ....es nuestra estrella, .....si da la talla" these are the lines where it gets real......
yes...
Yknow, those lines are when you realize the cast is not entirely familiarized with spanish. the double L's sound too weak, idk if you get me
I think where it got real for me was when she talked about saying "lots of tests, lots of papers" as the standard reply. I guess it took me off guard for a line that I use constantly at home to actually be reflected in a musical. Because musicals reflect our society, and I didn't expect such a minute detail to be considered so real in the Latine experience.
EDIT: I guess that means it's not so minute after all? That's relieving to me.
@@Cryonically I haven't watched the movie version of ITH yet, but I didn't really notice the singer's Spanish accent. As a Spanish speaker it didn't really affect how I felt about the song, but that's just from my perspective. This version is so beautiful TvT
As a former over-achiever gifted kid and whatnot, this hits so hard. I cried when I first saw Nina and her song. It's so hard to escape the mentality that your only source of worth is from your academic achievements. It's so real to be afraid of what literally everyone around you thinks of you now that you aren't "succeeding". When you reach that burn out, there is not a more worthless, desperate feeling in the world. "The biggest disappointment you know". I called myself a failure, washed up, worthless, a phony, a shell of what I used to be until I found myself again through other outlets. It's still hard to overcome the after effects of a huge burn out, but I'm doing my best. I barely made it through high school, but here I am doing good in college. But if you're out there and struggling like I did and still do sometimes... It's okay. You are so much more than your work. You're a great human being, and you're doing what you can. I'm still proud of you no matter what.
When I watched the movie in theatres I resonated with this song SO HARD, and when Nina's father called after her I started crying because it sounded exactly like mi papa. All my fellow latinos will get that feeling of wanting to make our parents proud ❤️🔥
Latinos and Latina are not the only ones wanting to make their parents proud of them
I can't make it through "Breathe" without crying. I saw the movie last night, and seeing her trepidation on the big screen made me cry even more than just hearing it
I felt this as a child of an immigrant. I've watched my parents work so hard after coming to a new country and creating so many pathways for me to succeed and while I'm grateful, there's just so much pressure. Have to breathe and get on with it though and make them proud
I great detail is that, with the exception of when she was reminiscing in the second verse, Nina sings exclusively in English with all the background singers singing in Spanish. I take this as representing how, back west, she had a Latina background, but wore an all-American face to hide it. She even translates a few lines in the song after they are sung. Ex: “No me preocupó por ella.” “They’re not worried about me.”
This is especially notable, because every other song in the movie has the use of English and Spanish interchangeably throughout, but here, there is a mostly-hard line between the two with minimal overlap.
Never seen the show before or heard any of the songs. Was having a hard time connecting with the movie until this scene came along. I related to her character almost instantly.
I've wanted this movie since i saw the national tour in 2010. For the most part i have to say, it's been well worth the wait.
I love how relatable Lin-Manuel makes his songs. I'm Hispanic and come from a super big family, and I'm kind of in the middle of my cousins age wise. My grandparents on my moms side and my aunts/uncles had it rough, since there were twelve kids and they didn't have much money. They didn't care about grades or anything, as long as they were making at least some money, everything was fine. And my aunts and uncles have carried that on to their children, saying that of course they want them to go to college, but if they can make enough money to get by, that'll be enough. But not my mom. Nor my dad, who had it the same way as my mom. So I've grown up shooting for Ivy League colleges and getting an amazing job when I get older. My older cousins have made it at least through high school, all but one of them getting into pretty good colleges, which is amazing considering none of my family really has any money. But my whole family, my aunts, uncles, cousins, everyone, they've been looking at me as the first one that'll really get somewhere. I'm the straight A, athletic, talented one. The one that'll make it out. But the pressure builds up. It's hard not to just plop down and give up. They all think it's easy for me now, and it's hard to tell them when I get a bad grade, or when I do bad at a band recital, or when I do anything less than amazing. This song and Lin-Manuel's new song from Encanto 'Surface Pressure' kind of describe my life, lol.
Sorry for the ramble, just needed to vent. I'm sure nobody is going to read this, but I just needed to get it out.
Leslie's voice is so comforting i can't explain it
The guitar in this song is EXQUISITE
This soundtrack did NOT come to disappoint!
not me crying on this song while studying for my finals
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira
Breathe
Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
Respira
This is my street
I smile at the faces I've known all my life
They regard me with pride
And everyone's sweet
They say, "You're going places!"
So how can I say that while I was away, I had so much to hide!
Hey guys, it's me!
The biggest disappointment you know
The kid couldn't hack it, she's back and she's walkin real slow
Welcome home
Just breathe
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida.
Respira
Just breathe
Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga.
Respira
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
I think of the days when this city was mine
I remember the praise
Ay, te adoro, te quiero
The neighborhood waved, and said
Nina, be brave, and you're gonna be fine
And maybe it's me
But it seems like lifetimes ago
So what do I say to these faces that I used to know?
"Hey, I'm home?"
Mira, Nina
Hey
No me preocupo por ella
They're not worried about me
Mira, alli esta nuestra estrella
They are all counting on me to succeed
I am the one who made it out
The one who always made the grade
But maybe I should've just stayed home...
When I was a child I stayed wide awake, climbed to the highest place
On every fire escape, restless to climb
(Underneath Nina (above)) Ella si da la talla
Repira
I got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to go to college
How do I tell them why
I'm coming back home
With my eyes on the horizon
Just me and the GWB
Asking 'Gee Nina, what'll you be?'
Straighten the spine
Smile for the neighbors
Everything's fine
Everything's cool
The standard reply
"Lots of tests, lots of papers"
Smile, wave goodbye
And pray to the sky, Oh, God -
What will my parents say?
Nina
Can I go in there and say
Nina
"I know that I'm letting you down..."
Nina...
Just breathe...
Hey awesome lyrics but in the movie version the line is "How do I dare to say" for anyone wondering
Breathe has always been my favorite, and I think Leslie definitely did an incredible job with it.❤
How do you expect me to sleep when they keep dropping more of these
Ruben Blades doing that intro 🔥🔥🔥
When I thought I coundn't get any more hype for this moive, I found out that Ruben Blades was singing in this song. And boy it is glorious.
This song gives me Tightrope vibes from the Greatest Showman
I hear it too!
more like Tightrope gives In the Heights vibes ;) in the heights came first
I was thinking the same thing!
I think the Greatest Showman is the better movie
But more accurate for real life
I first learned about Leslie Grace when she made a collaboration with my favorite KPop group Super Junior. Years have passed since that collaboration, and here's Leslie, in the movie version of one of the best musicals of modern times. Man, she's come so far.
Me at the start of the movie: I know how this ends, I’m not gonna cry.
Me when Breathe starts to play: 😭😭😭
And I never looked back lol it was so good!
Yessssss that happen to me
The og version is very powerful and I love that, but this is very sweet and beautiful and I love it too 🥰
I liked the new actress for Nina and she did a great job. However, I still like the singing of the original version of this song. This version sounded more realistic because she sounded like what the character was supposed to be, but the original was more powerful of a performance.
Fun fact: She is an established bachata singer! That’s how I knew her first. But I think this is her acting debut which is perfect because she is from near Washington heights.
@@mercedezize I never heard of her until now
They both work well for their medium. If we had gotten an absolute powerhouse version of this song (like Mandy Gonzales in the OBC), it would have felt and looked wrong for the Nina we are presented on screen. Theater is more forgiving in that you are essentially playing fully to the room, so being able to really bring a strong belt and sound is important to convey the story, so this version would have felt small on a stage.
CHILLS PEOPLE CHILLS.
I'm in tears. I've been waiting for this for forever. It's just beautiful.
This song gives me goosebumps. I relate to this song so much. As a kid, I was described as 'bright and talented and now that I'm in high school getting below-average grades everyone sees me as a disappointment and I can relate so much to the pressure of having to be perfect and it just sucks.
same here, during all of elementry and a little bit of middle school, i was seen as the smart and now uhh, yea no.
@@katiethewise yeah haha it sucks.
Leslie Grace was incredible in this film and it breaks my heart knowing that she never got her chance to shine as Batgirl because she was so enthusiastic whenever discussing the project. She really deserved better.
That bridge brings me to my knees. Also Ruben Blades is on sings the refrain the beginning he’s a Latin music legend
My life is just crying and relating to this song
Same, girl. Same.
Same ;-;
THIS hits me harder than i think it would. I bawled. little story: coming from asian working family in southeast Asia, I almost got a ticket to go to Germany in 2020, it was so close but then COVID happened and everything seems impossible. Telling your dreams to anyone else is a nightmare because you'd never know what happen next. I just wanna go somewhere far and make a living. Hopefully someday.
My friend said she wasn’t gonna cry until closer to the end and she starts SOBBING in the theatre during this song. Her sister who’s in college came back on vacation and hadn’t really heard about this musical Also starts sobbing right next to her. This music is incredibly powerful and I’m so thankful people like Lin Manuel and Leslie exist to make it a reality. 🇲🇽
I discover this song for Ironmouse. Now I can't stop hearing it.
I'm not sure if any of you know but the man singing at the beginning of the song is Rubén Blades. For any Latino to say they grow up dancing with their family and friends, they have to know by memory at least the chorus of any of his songs. And I just want to say how beautiful it's to find such an icon of our childhoods in a musical about the Latino community in New York.
First time I heard this, I admit it took me back a bit, but now every time I hear this version I instantly well up. EVERY. TIME!! 😭
Bravo Leslie Grace!!
I knew and listened to Leslie before In The Heights and fell in love with In The Heights musical before I even knew Leslie. I like being latina. I’m Mexican American. So many Americans relate to Nina. She’s such a special character.
10/10 i think this is my favourite on the soundtrack
nina’s scenes made me tear up the most :’)
It took me a second to adjust with Leslie's voice having heard Mandy's version atleast 100 times. Mandy is def the better vocalist (imo) but Leslie'e voice really fits Nina to the core.
I don't find Leslie to be a major weak link in acting or vocals. So i agree
If you've not heard Ironmouse's cover of this, it's amazing.
Her voice is so beautiful. I’d kill to have a singing voice like that
Can't wait for the whole soundtrack
Its all out
This hit so hard for me as I watching today in theaters. I related hard. Leslie aced this 100%
I've heard so many people sing this for auditions and never understood the context behind it.
Seeing the movie and finally getting the context? As a college student myself who's fought back the urge to drop out, I saw myself in Nina. And I cried. Especially at "hey guys, it's me. The biggest disappointment you know." I can't be the only person who's felt that way before, and hearing someone vocalize the thoughts in my head made me sob.
Leslie Grace did a great job with this! Just saw the movie last night and this is always one of my favorite songs. I do have to say Mandy González was a lot more powerful in her rendition but love the different take here
I think Leslie conveyed the song’s message better than Mandy. Although Mandy’s strong voice is iconic, and did express a very unique and different type of power, Leslie really just topped it off in her own way. Breathe is about Nina being worried and anxious about what other people would think when they find out about her dropping out, and not wanting to let everyone she loves Down. Instead of expressing the power in Mandy’s rendition which came off as more angry and anxious, whereas Leslie came off as more naive and wortied
@@seandalo Got a point there
both karen and mandy’s voices are perfect for broadway, but melissa and leslie’s voices were great for a softer, more innocent version of their characters.
This is perfect. Nothing else needs to be said.
One word- 2:25-2:50 C H I L L S
This song is so POWERFUL
UUUUUUUUUHH THE RUBEN BLADES LINES AT THE START KILLS ME
This is my favorite song right now it’s amazing. She’s shows emotions when she’s singing this song and it’s amazing. She’s beautiful and it couldn’t be better❤️❤️
She has Paula Abdul qualities in her voice. Love it!
Everybody *just breathe* and listen in detail this beautiful song
Leslie sang it so beautifully! And the ensemble too! So good! 😍😍
« I’m coming back home, with my eyes on the horizon » I’ll never get bored of this 😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😍😍
in the heights: my eyes on the horizon
hamilton: rise up wise up eyes up
A second agi I thought this was an average song. Now I love it. What!? The!? Actual!? Hell!? yeah I kept it pg
As a Afro Latina I relate to this so much and I will come back to this comment section once I’m in college
*The new arrangement made me cri especially the other songs aaaaa*
Im really excited for the movie :DD
When I tell you I relate to this song so much, even years after it originally came out 😭
Love this song! It's so beautiful and relatable. She sounds amazing!
She has such a nice voice omg 😳
YES I’m so happy all the official music thiniges came out and even though I’m still gonna go to the movies to watch this in a week this is what I’m listening to 24/7 now
First of all I can't BREATHE
This song has really helped me lately. I'm a hs senior who also happens to have been the fastest mid and long distance girl in my school for the last four years. I raced at Nationals in club track and became an All-American with my 3k. Everyone expected me to keep doing amazing and run for a D1 college next year. I got a tumor late 2022 and the surgeries kept me away from sports and eventually bedridden for a month, and my immune system became very weak so I would get sick every other week. I dreaded track season because I knew I barely became strong enough to walk to my classes, let alone run several miles, and I didn't know how to come to terms with it (I still don't). I've been struggling with people reminding me of how fast I "am" (aka how fast I was and am supposed to be) and can't help but feel as though I'm disappointing them, even though none of this was my fault. I got covid a week or two ago and am still affected by it and it makes even warming up incredibly difficult for me. I'm giving everything I have to push through even though I just want to give up.
I'll admit, I cried when I spotted Lin's parents in this scene in the movie.
im ngl im pretty white but im revisiting this after a year or so and it reminds me of my grandmother (who is mexican and grew up with nothing) she made a life for herself and she makes us dance with her in the kitchen and it reminds me of this movie
listening to this during finals week while having a similar story to nina just hits different
Leslie Grace voice was so sweet
This is beautiful. 😭💖
And here is me, finishing college and now feels in the middle of nowhere. No job, no everything. As someone who excels in acads, that line "the biggest dissapointment you've known" is what greatly fits what I am feeling.
It's not that I am incompetent but I really have this social anxiety which hinders me to do well. Bombing interviews and all to the point where it's been months and I'm still here, walking in a tightrope and wishing I'd just fall if I wouldn't be able to cross the other side. I think it really is the time to breathe.
I love the change of the key! I can finally sing this song hahaha
Leslie grace just🙌
Espere tanto por esta canción...ES HERMOSA!!! alguien mas lloro al final?
this one... this is def my favorite
Such a beautiful song
IM COMING BACK HOOOOOME WITH MY EYES ON THE HORIZON
This is amazing this is definitely one of my favourite versions next to Collette Guitart performing this song
This song and scene was just so beautiful omg I got chills🥺😭 Leslie Grace has both such a sweet and powerful voice and she was the perfect fit for Nina😍😍 also I love Nina in the movie so much and I feel like I can relate to her character. Also her story was so inspiring omg❤❤
every kid of immigrant parents can relate to this song ;-;
Definitely. I’m not Hispanic at all but I have immigrant African parents so this hurted 🧍🏾♀️
Love both versions. But this one is more like a beautiful lullaby especially in the first part. ❤️
Our Batgirl, everyone!
Hell yeah! At first, I was against her because I didn’t know if she could act or not… But damn, she is fire. She completely stole the movie! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I want to find a quiet + empty place, and sing this song with a very loud voice
in the first time watching this it was doreen montalvo's part the one that stuck to me the most, same with para siempre even before knowing who she was, it's very sad she passed away may she rest in peace
I am planning to finish my college as fast as I can because I feel like a disappointment and a failure but this song gave me hope.
I really like this one song
I quite literally spend hours in my room trying to figure out how to write like Lin Miranda - I just can't-
He's amazing lmfao but yeah find a style that suits you, I don't doubt that you can be amazing but don't aim to be like someone, aim to be better. You never know how talented you can be 😊
