    A quote from Lin-Manuel Miranda about this song. Makes me love it even more. "I’m the baby of the family. I have a sister who’s six years older, and she got a raw deal. That song is my love letter and apology to my sister for having it easier. I watched my sister deal with the pressure of being the oldest and carrying burdens I never had to carry. I remember my parents woke my sister up to put together a He-Man playset for Christmas before I woke up. They wanted it to be fully assembled when I woke up on Christmas morning. I put all of that angst and all of those moments into Luisa"

      Luisa is a middle child and its very accurate to many middle children. The middle child doesnt seem to have much pressure on them but thats because they dont feel like they can show it. Oldest and youngest children also have pressure but the middle children are forgotten a lot and people forget to point out that oldest children are rewarded when they do something good and comforted when they mess up. Youngest are rewarded when they do good and are also comforted when they mess up and if theyre in the middle they are told that they are still doing good. Middle children are rewarded when they do good and some are just ignored because the parents are too busy telling the oldest how proud they are. And when we mess up our parents tell us they know its hard but our older siblings can do it so we should be able to also.

    • @el_kitteh720
      @el_kitteh720 2 роки тому +277

      Luisa’s character growth, about having to be strong and the related pressure is a mirror to the societal pressure given to traditional male gender roles. By the end, she comes to term with the fact that she also needs to rest and that she shows emotions too. This is the shift you are referencing to with your observation of young men. Emotions are not weakness and strong people are allowed to self care too.

    I read an article somewhere that Luisa's merch is outselling Isabella's and Disney is shocked by it. They thought because Isabella was classically beautiful, that children would naturally gravitate toward her. After seeing this song and witnessing how strong, powerful, but also soft and vulnerable Luisa is, I don't think Isabella ever stood a chance against her. Children are far more perceptive than we give them credit for and the adults that watched (either because they have children or just love Disney) understood the value of Luisa's words and responsibilities. Luisa is a beautifully written character, and I hope that Disney has learned that we need more characters like her.

      I teach 3-5th grade its amazing to see how much these kids relate to Luisa's character. So many of my students are 8-10 but have lots of home responsibilities and are always taking care of their younger siblings. Remote school, I had kids with their baby siblings on their lap. I have one student in 3rd who is bigger than all the other students, she's built strong, taller than all the boys and everything, and sometimes the boys make fun of her for it, call her fat and to combat it she puts her an even tougher front. She'll lunge at them and threaten to smack them but she's literally the sweetest and such a hugger and watching her take care of and protect her friends reminded me of how gently Luisa takes care of Mirabel. I love that my kids have a character like Luisa to see and relate to. These kids are young but they see a lot, understand a lot and feel a lot and I'm glad the movies give them the space to process these emotions.

      I mean both Luisa and Isabela's characters were gonna see some oddness because Disney has both never had a buff character like Luisa but also never had as dark-skinned "princesa" character as Isabel (even more so than Tiana and Isabela's merch is actually for some reason darker than in the movie) so they both overcame a lot for the love and we should give them both credit.

Everyone is going on about the parts that hit them hard, but the party that really hit me was when the boulders are falling near the end and the look of actual fear on her face. Through the entire song she mostly looked determined even though she was singing about her vulnerabilities, but there when she was looking at Maribel we can see how scared she truly is.

    I love how the lyrics of the verses, "Under the surface I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?" It makes her sound like she's clenching her teeth trying to express how much pressure she's in, making the song and the character even more relatable.

      I think a lot do, actually, in several ways. This can be applied to home (I'm pretty sure there's more families where the child has more pressure than what's healthy for them than there aren't), school (because it has no regard for the fact you like having a life outside of it), being an older sister that takes all the responsibility, the person that does everything, and - this one particularly hits home for me - being the emotional support in the family, if not one of the big ones. Kids are durable, yes, but they feel that pressure as much as anyone, and they can be pretty good at hiding it. Granted you might be talking about like toddlers and I'm talking about 6 - 12 year olds (past that is teens) so 😅

The only difference Is that when I was a child i just enjoyed those cartoons, now I enjoy them and then I like to dig deep inside to find meanings, technic aspects and culturale references. But everytime someone get to know i am a cartoon lover they always jump out with "arent you too old for cartoons?", "Cartoons are for children" and similia.

Then, she sings the "keeps growing" and the background vocals go "pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure" and they just repeat. I feel like this shows any chance she's relaxed, or trying to be, the thought of living up to Abuela Alma's expectations repeat in her head, and she can't relax because she has anxiety of not being good enough. She's strong on the outside, but this shows her struggle to be strong on the inside. Wow, Lin is the Albert Einstein of songwriting.

This movie is incredible as it teaches about the need for communicating and the dangers of misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations.
      I adore “What Else Can I Do” because it’s so freeing and on the flip side I also adore “Waiting on a Miracle” for that desperation to fit in and be accepted.

Isabela gets to belong and is looked at highly by Abuela which is all Mirabel wants, however, with no gift Mirabel has the freedom to do whatever she wants with no expectations put upon her to be anything but herself which is all Isabela wants and both sides, as they are in the beginning, have downsides but that's not what the other person, ever, sees.

Even when Mirabel gasps when the house falls, I just can't help but sob

    This song crushes me. At the end of the bridge, when she heads back into the chorus so quietly, there's this vulnerability, this *terror* in her eyes, and she looks at her little sister like she truly believes that this pressure that is crushing her will never, ever, ever, let her rest for a moment. The visual of her going from a free open sky to this cramped position in the shadows, staring out from under a rock, scared and young and fragile... It is, to me, the most powerful and genuinely painful part of the song. It hurts so much more for having shown a moment of freedom, and rest, and health... and then this return to the responsibilities that she should never have had forced on her. It's so good, but it hurts so very badly.

    One of the things I love about this song that no one seems to be talking about is the fact that it's a song sung by a female character, in a Disney movie, that is in an alto register!
    That's kind of revolutionary, I'm not sure we've even had that before, the only other songs that comes to mind are poor unfortunate soul from the little mermaid 30 years ago, or possibly mother knows best from tangled. Both villan songs, it's awesome to hear a song sung in that register to portray strength instead of villany.
    As someone who has a lower register singing voice and loves Disney songs I'm so happy to have another song that will more comfortably fit my voice. I love the villan songs but it's fun to be a hero every once in a while, especially as villan song are less common in Disney films now.

      I had to have a listen to Claire’s version after you recommended it. She’s very talented! but naturally being a young child, lacks the emotional ability to convey the actual concept and burden of responsibility and expectations. Which is good, because she’s 9 and if she felt she could resonate with the lyrics too much, then I’d be questioning her upbringing. She’s still a baby, and should be enjoying her carefree youth and not feeling pressured to uphold any hard standards. When she’s aged more and her voice matures and she truly discovers the meaning and genuine sentiment of the lyrics, then she will probably be able to evoke more expression and emotion into her vocal nuances so that it communicates the message and meaning of the song a little more. That’s just my opinion and observation though, doesn’t mean I’m right or wrong. I think she will go on to do amazing things.

    We don't talk about Bruno shows a lot of strength in its music and variability, while Surface pressure shows more strength in regards to lyrics and emotions.
    I know many people prefer the first one, but as I like songs with strong emotional context and inventive lyrics my favourite is definitely the latter. To be honest, We don't talk about Bruno is probably my least favourite of the entire movie, which doesn't mean it's a bad song, but it just doesn't carry enough emotions with it, at least not for me.

    Her voice changes a few times in this song and it’s perfect. The verses and chorus she sounds kinda like she is flexing/tense. But then the bridge when she says “But wait!” She switches to a flowing, relaxed voice to reflect that she’s imagining being able to relax. Then it slowly tenses back up going into the chorus again. It’s subtle, but it’s very much intentional

    • @FFKonoko
      @FFKonoko 2 роки тому +1

      It's not just the voice. The lyrics have more stressed words closer together during the verses and chorus, with drip drip drip being one of the most concentrated bits. The relaxed bit has the least number of stressed words per bar.
      The other thing to note is that it is mostly using words that have the stress on the first part of the word. Like MIS-take. So it starts strong, then fades.

      I love that they fought for Luisa's designed. I'm 100% sure it wasn't easy even when Disney was told it was based on the FIRST Colombian woman to win a gold medal in wrestling (or maybe it was just the first woman wrestler I can't recall right now) point is they fought and won and now we got a super strong looking Luisa that doesn't look like a Tomboy.

    I’ve noticed a small detail, which idk if anyone else did already, but she’s like the living embodiment of Atlas from Greek mythology. He was given the burden to carry the literal weight of the world on his shoulders, and you see just for a few seconds in this song. You can come up with your interpretations to this, but it was something I’ve noticed and put together in my head.
