LYRICS What did you think might happen? What did you think I might say? Did you expect me to Just forgive you? Well I’d say sorry But I don’t Feel like I should be For years you’ve all kept your little secrets And for years I’ve kept all of mine But secrets are no fun If you don’t share with everyone And tonight I’d got a couple things to get off of my chest Where were you when I needed you to be on my side? I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize! Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect No more lies Open your eyes! I have believed for my whole life That the problems with this family were me Don’t you see what we all are? A collection of stars Just waiting for their turn to burn away Don’t touch me Do you really think this is the life he sought? Five years was all we ever got Instead of dancing through the halls he became a ghost inside these walls You thought he was the monster except you forgot about me Where were you when I needed you to be on my side? I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize! Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect No more lies Open your eyes! And instead of telling me of my mother You decided to hand me over to another And I mean with disrespect Your fear and your neglect Do you think he’d be proud of who you are now? You should we can’t talk about Bruno no no Is love something I’ll never get to know? No no no Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when I needed you? No more lies No more lies No more lies Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes
What I think happened in this song visually: "What did you think might happen?" She asked, her voice hoarse and rumbling in her throat. She took a step toward Abuela's still, stiff looming frame. "What did you think I might say?" She shook her head, her curls bouncing as she took another prowling step toward her prey. "Did you expect me to.." She growled, her eyes scanning her family, under a scrutinizing gaze. "...Just forgive you?" She folded her arms across her chest, which heaved in heavy breaths. Her shoes clacked on the tiled floor as she began to pace, her steps falling in time with the cracks that crept along her footfall. "Well I’d say sorry, but I don’t feel like I should be.." "For years I’ve all kept your little secrets" She continued her pace, raising a hand to silence her Abuela, who opened her mouth to bark a retort. "And for years I’ve kept all of mine" She continued, throwing her arms out in annoyence, before pushing her glasses up her slim nose. "But secrets are no fun If you don’t share with everyone." She turned on her heel, her steel gaze returning to the family. "And tonight I’d got a couple things to get off of my chest" She growled, not noticing another pair of eyes watching her. Through the walls.. Bruno dashed through the passageway of the walls, shivering as he passed a few cracks. He gave a shakey breath, listening to the pure anger escape his daughter's voice. "Where were you when I needed you to be on my side?" He glanced through a crack, eyeing his lovely Mira yell at her family, cracks following in her wake, circling around the floors. "I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize!" He let out a few gasps of breath, skidding around a corner, dodging a low hanging beam. "Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you all respect!" He leapt over a gaping hole, swinging across another with the assistance of a steel metal pole that hung out of the crumbling wall. "No more lies!" He landed on the creeking wooden planks of flooring, balencing on the balls of his feet before continuing his sprint.. "Open your eyes!" Mirabel hung her head, her shoulders shaking. "I have believed for my whole life that the problems with this family were me." Her voice was low as she breathed heavily, her arms shaking at her sides. "Don’t you see what we all are?" She asked aloud in a light bark. "A collection of stars" She answered for the family, flicking her eyes up to Abuela, her brows furrowed in distaste. "Just waiting for their turn to burn away..." She snapped her head up, slapping off Julieta's hand, that rested on her shoulder. "Don’t touch me!" "Do you really think this is the life he sought?" She waved her hands toward the walls in which her father hid. "Five years was all we ever got." "Instead of dancing through the halls" She twirled around, clasping her hands together mockingly. "he became a ghost inside these walls" She growled, slamming her foot downward, taking a step toward the family, the candle shaking, its flame flickering. "You thought he was the monster except you forgot about me!" Bruno, slammed open the painting, dashing out into the second floor hallway. His eyes landed on his daughter, his eyes widening. "Where were you when I needed you to be on my side?" Mirabel was shaking, tear brimming in her eyes.. "I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize!" He dashed down the stairs, stumbling toward his daughter from behind. "Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you all respect!" She raised her voice, stomping toward the others, waving her hands wildly. "No more lies!" In a quick bound, he wrapped his arms around her frame, holding her back. "Open your eyes!" "And instead of telling me of my mother!" She fought with her binds of her fathers arms, not registuring it was him. "You decided to hand me over to another!" She gestured with her head to Julieta, her lips drawn tight. "And I mean with disrespect Your fear and your neglect!" "Do you think he’d be proud of who you are now?!" She shouted, her voice ending in a menacing growl. Her shoulders shook in exaustion as she slumped forward in Bruno's grasp. Bruno, held on tight, bending his knees to keep his balence, nearly stumbling forward as well. "You say we can’t talk about Bruno no no.." Her voice was now hoarse and tiresome, spoked lower than usual. "Is love something I’ll never get to know? No no no.." Bruno let out a breathless gasp at his daughter's words. Is this what she had been dealing with without him around..? "Where were you when I needed you?" Her voice got stronger, her frame shaking powerfully in his grip, her knees suddenly buckling. "Where were you when I needed you?" She crumpled up, tears springing in her eyes. "No more lies." She shouted, slamming her fists on the ground. "No more lies..!" "No more lies!" Bruno bent over, holding onto his crying daughter, his breath catching in his throat. "Open your eyes!" "Open your eyes!" The last thing Bruno restered was his daughter's cries and screams, deep rumbling cracks, the falling of brick and concrete, and the cold wind on his back, and his own tears falling.
@@blackk.kkattt oh my gosh…YES if I had the animatic skills I’d turn this into a freaking reality! This scene even in a written form holds so much weight and power!
@@blackk.kkattt Omg thats awesome. But for me, i imagine the same just then instead of the end where she's crying on the floor, she got her powers and then became a villian and destroyed that casita. But yours, oh boy that is one of the best things ive read.
Why do I imagine this song takes place immediately after Mirabel tries to get Isabela to hug her? But like instead of the whole "I never wanted to marry him, I was doing it for the family!" thing, Isa says "Why are you even trying to make me like you?! You're not even my actual sister!"
Jesus, the possibilities of how all of this would look if it was in the movie are blowing me away. The best and main idea to me would be as Mirabel sings, the Casita starts to crumble worse and worse, only for Casita to not care. While keeping the Madrigals out of harm's way, it would use the last of its power to constantly give Mirabel a stage above her family, allowing for her to fully explain without a shadow of a doubt why the Miracle was dying and finally get them to hear her.
So im going to take a guess here. Mirabel finds out her whole life has essentially been a lie, screams at the entire family, and casita crashes down. Well done, cant wait for the next one.
Is it wrong if I think this Au’s Mirabel unlocks her connection to the candle here? Each of the height in emotion making her empowered through the successor of the candle’s power with manipulating the sparks to show them her emotions and as the casita fades, the magic is flowing into Mirabel
In each "open your eyes" the candle's fire flickers and grows, melting down the more the fire grows, until it blows off. In the part where she asks "do you think he'd be proud of who you became?" Pedro's portrait falls behind her and his eyes are burned because of the fire, Abuela's face is full of tears. Bruno looks fearful and concerned and keeps trying to climb to where Mirabel stands alone, Julieta and Agustín trying their best to help him - they all love her, after all. When the fire goes out the house crumbles completely, leaving only Mirabel standing next to the spot the candle had been just seconds ago, the whole spot completely untouched. Mirabel then crumbles and wails. (Allegory: the spot in wich she stands remains the same, but Mirabel crumbles just like the rest of Casita. Allegory 2: she still gave more important to the candle than to herself, seeing as she crumbles, but the Candle's spot doesn't).
1:45 the “stars” thing was actually genius tho (to parallel with “A perfect constellation, so full of stars and everybody gets to shine” and “but the stars don’t shine they burn”
She sings it to Bruno? Alma? Own "parents"? Or maybe yourself? It goes with pretty much everything, oh boy I love your songs! You drive this AU incredibly. Wonderful job again!
I'm kind of picturing she's singing it to the whole family as a group? The only lines that make me doubt that are "you handed me off to another" which makes me think she's singing it to Bruno, which is odd when she's referring to him in 3rd person in the rest of the song.
@@NoahMiller13579 In my opinion, it sounded a bit like she was saying it to Alma. Especially since in the previous song it sounded like he didn't want to part with his daughter, maybe it's his mother's affair? Well, we'll see in the next song for sure!
If Encanto ever gets a Broadway musical (it definitely will), then they 100% MUST put this in during the scene where Mirabel tells off Alma in front of the whole family
Ohhh my gooood the angst is REAL with this one This AU story is extremely interesting and the songs are incredible! I actually find myself getting some of the lyrics in my head sometimes Excellent work on this song!
Definitely worth the wait. I was just wondering what the context for the song is? It sounds like Mirabel is going at her family while also going at Bruno for leaving her.
@@LadyRenaissanceUA-cam Oh, cool. Can't imagine how she feels. She probably feels like she has no one to turn to in this situation. The family who neglected and lied to her all these years on one side, the father who left her alone on the other. I think a lot of people can relate to this feeling. And this song captures that brilliantly.
I feel like she sings to every family member one by one like: "Where you were when I needed you to be on my side?" might be for Camilo who she was (probably) close to but who became to busy bc of work and another friends. "I will never be strong enough but at least I don't patronize!" - maybe to Luisa (maybe they have some conflicts also bere Idk) or to Abuella "Can't make the flowers grow but so I showed you all respect!" could be for Isabella (remember her mocking Mirabele). "And instead of telling me of my mother you desided to hang me other to another!" - for Bruno for leaving her. Some words she might tell to Pepa, Juliette, Alma or for them all bc of all things they made Bruno come through. In the end, she's done bc of everything the whole her family did to her. Her pain and rage made Casita get ruined. Or maybe I just wrote some stuff Idk XD
@@---fp1sy That's a nice interpretation of the scene. But I guess we will never know until an animatic of stunning quality comes along to illustrate the song for us.
This is my take on what this would look like [This is the scene where Abuela and Mirabel were arguing, but this time Abuela drops the bomb about Bruno being her true parent, Abuela tries to apologize] What did you think might happen? [Mirabel is standing on the second floor of the house just near the candle, she refuses the apology, Abuela gets angry] What did you think I might say? [Julieta and Agustin come in on the scene] Did you expect me to Just forgive you? [Abuela demands she apologize for ruining the miracle] Well I’d say sorry But I don’t Feel like I should be [At this point the whole family is there, most with confused looks on their faces but Abuela is just angry] For years you’ve all kept your little secrets And for years I’ve kept all of mine But secrets are no fun If you don’t share with everyone And tonight I’d got a couple things to get off of my chest [The family starts to realize what was going on, as Mirabel realizes that the whole family is here now] Where were you when I needed you to be on my side? [She points to where Bruno is hiding, to the sudden confusion of her family] I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize! [She exchanges looks with Luisa and then Abuela, as they start to realize what is happening when a dent in the house starts to appear] Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect [The family has come out of hiding at this point, as Mirabel glares at Isabela and then the entire family] No more lies Open your eyes! [The family looks on horrified, but willing to hear her out due to the dents] I have believed for my whole life That the problems with this family were me [Cut to Mirabel failing to get a gift and Abuelas disappointed face distorts into anger in the flashback] Don’t you see what we all are? A collection of stars [Glance to the sky, star filled] Just waiting for their turn to burn away [The stars fall one by one, each color symbolizing a family member] Don’t touch me [Julieta reaches for her hand from the bottom of the house] Do you really think this is the life he sought? [Cut to Pedro and Abuela fleeing their village as Pedro dies] Five years was all we ever got [Cut to the family members getting their gifts and the duties they had to preform for the town as Abuela watches on just outside the house] Instead of dancing through the halls he became a ghost inside these walls [Cut to Bruno running away] You thought he was the monster except you forgot about me [Cut to young Mirabel in a black screen as she grows up and it fades to the current scene] Where were you when I needed you to be on my side? I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize! Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect [All same as last time but more hysterical as the family is more horrified as they get more panicked] No more lies Open your eyes! [The casita starts to crack more] And instead of telling me of my mother [Julieta and Agustin are particularly horrified] You decided to hand me over to another [Cut to Bruno giving baby Mirabel away] And I mean with disrespect Your fear and your neglect [Mirabel scowls at the family from above] Do you think he’d be proud of who you are now? [Cut to the picture of Pedro] You say we can’t talk about Bruno no no [Mirabel fixes the vision Bruno had] Is love something I’ll never get to know? No no no [The picture from when Antonio got his gift is shown, with a flickering Mirabel in the background, as it again fades back to the current scene] Where were you when I needed you? [Cut to Bruno as he hears the rumbling among the Casita] Where were you when I needed you? [Cut to the family as they look at the cracks as Casita starts to fall apart and they all start to leave] No more lies [Bruno giving baby Mirabel away] No more lies [Mirabel getting no gift and the mistreatment that comes after that] No more lies [Cut to Mirabel staying inside the Casita as it cracks, destroying the candle] Open your eyes [Mirabel starts to sob] Open your eyes Open your eyes [The house is destroyed, as Mirabel is nowhere to be found]
... I'M GETTING INSPIRED!!! SHE'LL NEVER KNOW AND THEN THIS IS MIRABEL'S REPLY!!! DAMN!!! MY WRITER BRAIN IS SCREAMING! I need the lyric version!❤ this is amazing!
I know the emotions in this song way too well, my family kinda did the same with me. Lied to me about who my own biological father was, and I never allowed myself to feel that betrayal when I found out, and now this helps me deal with it, about almost 10 years later.
My mother lied about the same thing, all my life I had grown thinking this man who was in my life only during my childhood was my father, I had even had the same name as him. But turns out he wasn’t, rather another man who also was never in my life was, I didn’t find out till I was around 12
this def sounds like she was talking to the whole family for neglecting her or treating her and Bruno like the black sheep of the family. This is the song that happens when Abula Alma and Mirabel are arguing with each other and since the whole family is there in the background might as well call all of them out for the verbal abuse she got from everyone Esipcally Alma. Except for Antonio he's 5, doesn't know the whole story about Bruno leaving, he actually helps Mirabel & Bruno to hide from Abuela and treats her like a big sibling more than his other siblings in the film.
I have an idea for what could happen next in the next part of this AU! After Casita crumbles, Mirabel, sick of her family, breaks free of Bruno’s arms and runs away. Bruno, Abuela, Julieta, and Agustín chase after her. But Mirabel, having a head start and being younger, outruns them and they lose her in the forest around the village. Mirabel keeps running until a voice tells her to stop. She turns around, and the ghosts of a man and a woman are standing behind her. The man is her abuelo, Pedro. The woman explains she’s Mirabel’s mother. Mirabel bursts into tears and collapses, and the ghosts try to comfort and reason with her. They start singing a reprise of “She’ll Never Know”. Here’s the lyrics I’ve come up so far: Mirabel’s Mother: Look at you grown You’re so amazing You should know That I love you so~ You never gave in Made it through thick and thin And now you’re at your hardest challenge of all But we’re here to catch you at your fall Pedro or Mirabel’s mother: Mirabel~ Abuela caused you so much pain Don’t let it turn you cold And make your journey be in vain~ Pedro: Mirabel, there’s something I must explain~ (Pedro sings about his life with Alma, fleeing their home, and his death) Pedro: So there you go That’s the real story And now you know…why I had to go~ But you don’t fret it, I…don’t regret it I created this family’s light It led to you, I did something right (Mirabel’s mom and Pedro go back and forth explaining Alma’s and the rest of the family’s actions and comfort her until Mirabel feels better and more forgiving) (I’m not a songwriter, so that’s why I can’t continue it. Feel free to change what you don’t like)
I love how the song title is "Open Your Eyes, the same line from "Waiting on a Miracle" and "All of You." The songs were written by Lin Manuel Miranda, and usually he includes small parts from other songs, this can be seen in Hamilton; the Broadway musical In the song, Non-Stop, people in the background sing "Wait for it" And there is a Hamilton song called "Wait for it" I just thought it was a cool add-in, I don't know if you intended this, but I found it anyway.
I think this could've been another ending for the Encanto movie - or probably could make it into the 2nd movie. When Mirabel finds out that Bruno's her biological father and the family never told her. I picture her singing this to her whole family.
Okay. I want to say a few words about it. *clears her throat* Ahem, ahem... THIS. IS. *MASTERPIECE!!!* Seriously, it's SO amazing! You did SO MUCH work on it! It sounds like a real song which truly could be in the movie! The instrumental (epic, with lots of instruments) the voice (I can FEEL her emotions in it) the LYRICS (seriously, they're so powerful and reaslistic!). I can't even imagine how could you do that! It's just... it's just amazing!
I feel like this song would’ve been Maribel’s villain song after her grandmother banishes her once everyone saw Bruñó’s prediction and Alma is forced to banish her to save face from the villagers.
Just going to say this because I thought it was cool [also the song is amazing!] The background has all of each of the respective colors for each side of the family, the main is a blue-Ish color that might represent how [in the AU, I haven't read much on it or anything so don't scream at me if I'm wrong] Julieta and Agustin had been only 'portrayed' as her parents, and the green-Ish tint could be to show how Bruno was actually her parent? And then the lights being Yellow, red, Orange, and slightly green, well come on, that just speaks for itself! Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
Dudeee, this is really good, all the emotions, the lyrics, I love it!! And the instrumental of We don't talk about Bruno in the start is amazing The way she's replaying to She'll never know and a little bit of Stay away (sorry if my redaction is wrong, English is not my first lenguage jejej)
Yo... yo... how it starts with "we don't talk about Bruno" but then actually goes into its own song and the words and the music and the... OOF.... you, human, have some serious skills
Fan lyric: Did you think I'd say sorry? Did you think I'd take the blame? It doesn't matter what you want Just don't be sad with what you've got, Cuz tonight you've got to listen to me.
The way her life turned out, it's a miracle she (or Bruno) didn't become a villain. However, a protagonist turned antagonist really would have been something different for Disney. Maybe it could have made the movie more interesting.
This is so good! I figure, if this was an actual song in Envanto, that Mirabel could’ve become a/the villain, but someone (maybe Camilo, Isabela or Bruno?) would save her
This is kind of sad(literally crying on the bed)😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Did you all really expect me to join you? Anything your side requires cannot be accomplished by every kind of being. Anyone who joins you will become confused, lost, and unqualified to the point where they are thrown out and become subject to poverty at the most fundamental level. You claim simplification is good, but you needlessly complicate things anyway. I'm simply trying to simplify the mess everyone is in, but you oppose me for this honest act of generosity."
(EDIT: saw you said to another person asking the same thing, and you said it was on bandcamp but i couldnt find it TvT) Could you make an accompaniment? (I cant stop singing along and wanted to make a cover or just try and sing it by myself if you dont want me to make a cover)
Ooo!!! Thank u for the heart!!! Your encanto songs are AMAZING!!!!! Seriously this reality would have been so much cooler if it happened in the movie. I mean the movie was great, but this.... *chef's kiss*
LYRICS
What did you think might happen?
What did you think I might say?
Did you expect me to
Just forgive you?
Well I’d say sorry
But I don’t
Feel like
I should be
For years you’ve all kept your little secrets
And for years I’ve kept all of mine
But secrets are no fun
If you don’t share with everyone
And tonight I’d got a couple things to get off of my chest
Where were you when I needed you to be on my side?
I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize!
Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect
No more lies
Open your eyes!
I have believed for my whole life
That the problems with this family were me
Don’t you see what we all are?
A collection of stars
Just waiting for their turn to burn away
Don’t touch me
Do you really think this is the life he sought?
Five years was all we ever got
Instead of dancing through the halls he became a ghost inside these walls
You thought he was the monster except you forgot about me
Where were you when I needed you to be on my side?
I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize!
Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect
No more lies
Open your eyes!
And instead of telling me of my mother
You decided to hand me over to another
And I mean with disrespect
Your fear and your neglect
Do you think he’d be proud of who you are now?
You should we can’t talk about Bruno no no
Is love something I’ll never get to know? No no no
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I needed you?
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
I am obsessed with your series!!!! Omg it's just amazing 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰

"No more lies!" He landed on the creeking wooden planks of flooring, balencing on the balls of his feet before continuing his sprint..
"Open your eyes!"

In the part where she asks "do you think he'd be proud of who you became?" Pedro's portrait falls behind her and his eyes are burned because of the fire, Abuela's face is full of tears.
Bruno looks fearful and concerned and keeps trying to climb to where Mirabel stands alone, Julieta and Agustín trying their best to help him - they all love her, after all.
When the fire goes out the house crumbles completely, leaving only Mirabel standing next to the spot the candle had been just seconds ago, the whole spot completely untouched. Mirabel then crumbles and wails. (Allegory: the spot in wich she stands remains the same, but Mirabel crumbles just like the rest of Casita. Allegory 2: she still gave more important to the candle than to herself, seeing as she crumbles, but the Candle's spot doesn't).
1:45 the “stars” thing was actually genius tho (to parallel with “A perfect constellation, so full of stars and everybody gets to shine” and “but the stars don’t shine they burn”
She sings it to Bruno? Alma? Own "parents"? Or maybe yourself? It goes with pretty much everything, oh boy I love your songs! You drive this AU incredibly. Wonderful job again!
I'm kind of picturing she's singing it to the whole family as a group? The only lines that make me doubt that are "you handed me off to another" which makes me think she's singing it to Bruno, which is odd when she's referring to him in 3rd person in the rest of the song.
@@NoahMiller13579 In my opinion, it sounded a bit like she was saying it to Alma. Especially since in the previous song it sounded like he didn't want to part with his daughter, maybe it's his mother's affair? Well, we'll see in the next song for sure!
@@justyna9974 That's what I was thinking. Bruno left and left Mirabel in Alma's care, but she handed her off to Juiletta.
why did I feel like a little bit was directed to camilo? I think different lyrics are towards different people, mostly alma tho
She could have sung this right before the house started falling
Oh my god the EMOTION put into this. A powerful mix of sadness, betrayal, frustration, anger I-
If Encanto ever gets a Broadway musical (it definitely will), then they 100% MUST put this in during the scene where Mirabel tells off Alma in front of the whole family
Ohhh my gooood the angst is REAL with this one
This AU story is extremely interesting and the songs are incredible! I actually find myself getting some of the lyrics in my head sometimes
Excellent work on this song!
Definitely worth the wait. I was just wondering what the context for the song is? It sounds like Mirabel is going at her family while also going at Bruno for leaving her.
You’d be right
@@LadyRenaissanceUA-cam Oh, cool. Can't imagine how she feels. She probably feels like she has no one to turn to in this situation. The family who neglected and lied to her all these years on one side, the father who left her alone on the other. I think a lot of people can relate to this feeling. And this song captures that brilliantly.
I feel like she sings to every family member one by one like:
"Where you were when I needed you to be on my side?" might be for Camilo who she was (probably) close to but who became to busy bc of work and another friends.
"I will never be strong enough but at least I don't patronize!" - maybe to Luisa (maybe they have some conflicts also bere Idk) or to Abuella
"Can't make the flowers grow but so I showed you all respect!" could be for Isabella (remember her mocking Mirabele).
"And instead of telling me of my mother you desided to hang me other to another!" - for Bruno for leaving her.
Some words she might tell to Pepa, Juliette, Alma or for them all bc of all things they made Bruno come through.
In the end, she's done bc of everything the whole her family did to her. Her pain and rage made Casita get ruined.
Or maybe I just wrote some stuff Idk XD
@@---fp1sy That's a nice interpretation of the scene. But I guess we will never know until an animatic of stunning quality comes along to illustrate the song for us.
This is my take on what this would look like
[This is the scene where Abuela and Mirabel were arguing, but this time Abuela drops the bomb about Bruno being her true parent, Abuela tries to apologize]
What did you think might happen?
[Mirabel is standing on the second floor of the house just near the candle, she refuses the apology, Abuela gets angry]
What did you think I might say?
[Julieta and Agustin come in on the scene]
Did you expect me to
Just forgive you?
[Abuela demands she apologize for ruining the miracle]
Well I’d say sorry
But I don’t
Feel like
I should be
[At this point the whole family is there, most with confused looks on their faces but Abuela is just angry]
For years you’ve all kept your little secrets
And for years I’ve kept all of mine
But secrets are no fun
If you don’t share with everyone
And tonight I’d got a couple things to get off of my chest
[The family starts to realize what was going on, as Mirabel realizes that the whole family is here now]
Where were you when I needed you to be on my side?
[She points to where Bruno is hiding, to the sudden confusion of her family]
I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize!
[She exchanges looks with Luisa and then Abuela, as they start to realize what is happening when a dent in the house starts to appear]
Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect
[The family has come out of hiding at this point, as Mirabel glares at Isabela and then the entire family]
No more lies
Open your eyes!
[The family looks on horrified, but willing to hear her out due to the dents]
I have believed for my whole life
That the problems with this family were me
[Cut to Mirabel failing to get a gift and Abuelas disappointed face distorts into anger in the flashback]
Don’t you see what we all are?
A collection of stars
[Glance to the sky, star filled]
Just waiting for their turn to burn away
[The stars fall one by one, each color symbolizing a family member]
Don’t touch me
[Julieta reaches for her hand from the bottom of the house]
Do you really think this is the life he sought?
[Cut to Pedro and Abuela fleeing their village as Pedro dies]
Five years was all we ever got
[Cut to the family members getting their gifts and the duties they had to preform for the town as Abuela watches on just outside the house]
Instead of dancing through the halls he became a ghost inside these walls
[Cut to Bruno running away]
You thought he was the monster except you forgot about me
[Cut to young Mirabel in a black screen as she grows up and it fades to the current scene]
Where were you when I needed you to be on my side?
I will never be strong enough but at least I don’t patronize!
Can’t make the flowers grow but even so I showed you respect
[All same as last time but more hysterical as the family is more horrified as they get more panicked]
No more lies
Open your eyes!
[The casita starts to crack more]
And instead of telling me of my mother
[Julieta and Agustin are particularly horrified]
You decided to hand me over to another
[Cut to Bruno giving baby Mirabel away]
And I mean with disrespect
Your fear and your neglect
[Mirabel scowls at the family from above]
Do you think he’d be proud of who you are now?
[Cut to the picture of Pedro]
You say we can’t talk about Bruno no no
[Mirabel fixes the vision Bruno had]
Is love something I’ll never get to know? No no no
[The picture from when Antonio got his gift is shown, with a flickering Mirabel in the background, as it again fades back to the current scene]
Where were you when I needed you?
[Cut to Bruno as he hears the rumbling among the Casita]
Where were you when I needed you?
[Cut to the family as they look at the cracks as Casita starts to fall apart and they all start to leave]
No more lies
[Bruno giving baby Mirabel away]
No more lies
[Mirabel getting no gift and the mistreatment that comes after that]
No more lies
[Cut to Mirabel staying inside the Casita as it cracks, destroying the candle]
Open your eyes
[Mirabel starts to sob]
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
[The house is destroyed, as Mirabel is nowhere to be found]
I full well enjoyed reading this while the song played- now I wanna know what happened next like wht 😭
@@cottonrain520 same,when it said "Where were you when I needed you" twice I imagined her asking through tears
That is a beautiful take... I love it!
... I'M GETTING INSPIRED!!! SHE'LL NEVER KNOW AND THEN THIS IS MIRABEL'S REPLY!!! DAMN!!! MY WRITER BRAIN IS SCREAMING!
I need the lyric version!❤ this is amazing!
Same!My Fan fic side of me is like,”I must come up with something now!XD
SAME!!!!
And thus- Mirabel's Villain Arc has began
Okay but jokes aside this give me chillssss! I love it!
Yeah, I got chills listening to this song. 0_0
I know the emotions in this song way too well, my family kinda did the same with me. Lied to me about who my own biological father was, and I never allowed myself to feel that betrayal when I found out, and now this helps me deal with it, about almost 10 years later.
My mother lied about the same thing, all my life I had grown thinking this man who was in my life only during my childhood was my father, I had even had the same name as him. But turns out he wasn’t, rather another man who also was never in my life was, I didn’t find out till I was around 12
this def sounds like she was talking to the whole family for neglecting her or treating her and Bruno like the black sheep of the family. This is the song that happens when Abula Alma and Mirabel are arguing with each other and since the whole family is there in the background might as well call all of them out for the verbal abuse she got from everyone Esipcally Alma. Except for Antonio he's 5, doesn't know the whole story about Bruno leaving, he actually helps Mirabel & Bruno to hide from Abuela and treats her like a big sibling more than his other siblings in the film.
Tbh this very valid, mirabelle was lied to her entire life I can't imagine anyone would just be okay with that
I love how mirabel looks like a cryptid in the art
This would be an amazing song that Mirabel sings to her Abuela just before the house starts to fall or even the cracks reflecting her words
I have an idea for what could happen next in the next part of this AU!
After Casita crumbles, Mirabel, sick of her family, breaks free of Bruno’s arms and runs away. Bruno, Abuela, Julieta, and Agustín chase after her. But Mirabel, having a head start and being younger, outruns them and they lose her in the forest around the village.
Mirabel keeps running until a voice tells her to stop. She turns around, and the ghosts of a man and a woman are standing behind her. The man is her abuelo, Pedro. The woman explains she’s Mirabel’s mother.
Mirabel bursts into tears and collapses, and the ghosts try to comfort and reason with her. They start singing a reprise of “She’ll Never Know”.
Here’s the lyrics I’ve come up so far:
Mirabel’s Mother:
Look at you grown
You’re so amazing
You should know
That I love you so~
You never gave in
Made it through thick and thin
And now you’re at your hardest challenge of all
But we’re here to catch you at your fall
Pedro or Mirabel’s mother:
Mirabel~
Abuela caused you so much pain
Don’t let it turn you cold
And make your journey be in vain~
Pedro:
Mirabel, there’s something I must explain~
(Pedro sings about his life with Alma, fleeing their home, and his death)
Pedro:
So there you go
That’s the real story
And now you know…why I had to go~
But you don’t fret it, I…don’t regret it
I created this family’s light
It led to you, I did something right
(Mirabel’s mom and Pedro go back and forth explaining Alma’s and the rest of the family’s actions and comfort her until Mirabel feels better and more forgiving)
(I’m not a songwriter, so that’s why I can’t continue it. Feel free to change what you don’t like)
this is a really good song for a Villain!Mirabel AU! an i honestly want to read a FanFic about it.
That last note hit like Luisa’s punch
I love how the song title is "Open Your Eyes, the same line from "Waiting on a Miracle" and "All of You." The songs were written by Lin Manuel Miranda, and usually he includes small parts from other songs, this can be seen in Hamilton; the Broadway musical
In the song, Non-Stop, people in the background sing "Wait for it"
And there is a Hamilton song called "Wait for it"
I just thought it was a cool add-in, I don't know if you intended this, but I found it anyway.
Nice catch!
BRO EVERY TIME YOU MAKE AN ENCANTO SONG ITS FIRE 🔥 thank you so much for this song
People need to make this an animatic! I’d do it myself but I don’t have drawing/animation skills.
I think this could've been another ending for the Encanto movie - or probably could make it into the 2nd movie. When Mirabel finds out that Bruno's her biological father and the family never told her.
I picture her singing this to her whole family.
Wouldn’t that imply incest?
Okay. I want to say a few words about it.
*clears her throat* Ahem, ahem...
THIS.
IS.
*MASTERPIECE!!!*
Seriously, it's SO amazing! You did SO MUCH work on it! It sounds like a real song which truly could be in the movie! The instrumental (epic, with lots of instruments) the voice (I can FEEL her emotions in it) the LYRICS (seriously, they're so powerful and reaslistic!). I can't even imagine how could you do that! It's just... it's just amazing!
YOOO I WAS THERE AT THE TIKTOK LIVE WHEN THIS WAS MADE
It turned out soooo cool 🥺
When it ended I thought they got fed up with us talking about teeth and the rats
I feel like this song would’ve been Maribel’s villain song after her grandmother banishes her once everyone saw Bruñó’s prediction and Alma is forced to banish her to save face from the villagers.
Just going to say this because I thought it was cool [also the song is amazing!]
The background has all of each of the respective colors for each side of the family, the main is a blue-Ish color that might represent how [in the AU, I haven't read much on it or anything so don't scream at me if I'm wrong] Julieta and Agustin had been only 'portrayed' as her parents, and the green-Ish tint could be to show how Bruno was actually her parent?
And then the lights being Yellow, red, Orange, and slightly green, well come on, that just speaks for itself!
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
It is! And this is an amazing analysis I can’t believe you caught all that lol I love this
@@LadyRenaissanceUA-cam
THIS STORY IS SO AMAZING I HOPE IT DOESNT END, EVERY SONG MAKES ME CRY OF HAPPYNESS-
This couldve heen a song in encanto fr you should be a songwriter for i-
Holy frick these lyrics go HARD! There’s so much emotion in the voice! Everything about this is INCREDIBLE!!
If Encanto was two hours instead of one this song could have started the second hour of the movie
yeah but even if it was 2 hours, Mirabel isn’t Bruno’s child in the canon movie
This is just an au
Get this women on the Disney team
She turned a whole a au from a TikTok video into a musical master piece
This show so much emotion in this I loved this so much
Hello Jillian 😌
Oh my gosh, I love this! Your songs are just so amazing, I am in love with all of them! Your voice is so good!!!
Dudeee, this is really good, all the emotions, the lyrics, I love it!!
And the instrumental of We don't talk about Bruno in the start is amazing
The way she's replaying to She'll never know and a little bit of Stay away
(sorry if my redaction is wrong, English is not my first lenguage jejej)
the ' no more lies' kinda fits dolores as in if people knew she was listening and LIED just so they could cause havoc around town
Ooo I’m excited
Update: this is brilliant as usual!
Yo... yo... how it starts with "we don't talk about Bruno" but then actually goes into its own song and the words and the music and the... OOF.... you, human, have some serious skills
2:11 the part that gave me chills
Fan lyric:
Did you think I'd say sorry?
Did you think I'd take the blame?
It doesn't matter what you want
Just don't be sad with what you've got,
Cuz tonight you've got to listen to me.
That we dont talk about Bruno reprise toward the end 😭💔 this is really good!
The way her life turned out, it's a miracle she (or Bruno) didn't become a villain. However, a protagonist turned antagonist really would have been something different for Disney. Maybe it could have made the movie more interesting.
THIS IS JUST SO AWESOM
I NEED YOUR SONGS IN SPOTIFY
the way you can put emotion in song is amazing!
This is so good! I figure, if this was an actual song in Envanto, that Mirabel could’ve become a/the villain, but someone (maybe Camilo, Isabela or Bruno?) would save her
I LOVE THIS, the lyrics are 👌😩
This is amazing 👏
I love every bit of it. Dolores could also be apart of this song 🎵
The house is burning and crumbling as mirebel sings
I can't stop looping this ...
I keep imagining Alma heartbroken slowly realizing what she has done, trying to reach mirable but she's too angry and says dont touch me
I feel it's Mirabel singing this to Alma, and I LOVE IT
Yay! It's out!
It's freaking amazing 🤩🤩
I love the strong emotion behind this song. Great job!
YES OMG I LOVE THIE SO MUCH I CANT STOP LISTENING
Really beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This sounds almost like a Villain Mirabel song damn this is amazing! 👏 😍

This song is brilliant! ❤️🤯
This gave me chills!!!
The song make me think of Evil Mirabel!! I love it
Wow I found this song by fanfiction and I have to say, it's amazing. You really showed off the hurt and the anger in Mirabel
Can I ask which fanfic? I’d love to check it out
⫚- Not all Roses have thorns by YuiUltima on Ao3
The song was used in Chapter 24
This is amazing! It sounds so upset and angry and it's epic! I love the crashing down at the end too, that was really cool.
This is incredible!
Aaaa so excited 💃💃 so beautiful as per usual Ren!!
I literally wanna learn these songs on guitar
i expexted she'll be sad, little angry but not on this scale-
Ngl It sounds like a villain song… and I love it
Awesome song! Love the lyrics! ^^ ❤️🔥
Okay talent, I see you!
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED

You have such a similar voice to Stephanie's! It fits so well!
It sounds like she might be singing this to either Alma or her own family.
You just earned a subscriber. All of your songs are amazing!!!
This song is gourgeous my goodness!!! I'd love to make an animatic to this song if you're okay with it :D
I can not describe to you how much I love 💕 your voice!
I love it so much
RHIS BETTER BE ON SPOTIFY
This is incredible!!! I absolutely adore all these fan songs! Will they be available on Spotify now that the album is complete?
Another great song! This has really inspired me to draw a villain Mirabel 😊 love your lyrics and your voice 💚
If Abuela and Mirabel's argument was a song, this would be it.
this sounds like a villain song its amazing🤩🤩🤩🤩
Omg I really like all of your songs!!!
This is kind of sad(literally crying on the bed)😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I so wish we had a song who end all the story between Mirabel and Bruno with a sweet note. I so want the sequel T_T
Keep up the amazing music!!! I love it
THIS IS SO GOOD
"Did you all really expect me to join you? Anything your side requires cannot be accomplished by every kind of being. Anyone who joins you will become confused, lost, and unqualified to the point where they are thrown out and become subject to poverty at the most fundamental level. You claim simplification is good, but you needlessly complicate things anyway. I'm simply trying to simplify the mess everyone is in, but you oppose me for this honest act of generosity."
Go off Mirabel! You tell them girl!
animators better start workin on this
God damnit it's so good
(EDIT: saw you said to another person asking the same thing, and you said it was on bandcamp but i couldnt find it TvT)
Could you make an accompaniment? (I cant stop singing along and wanted to make a cover or just try and sing it by myself if you dont want me to make a cover)
ITS HERE!!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!
Ooo!!! Thank u for the heart!!! Your encanto songs are AMAZING!!!!! Seriously this reality would have been so much cooler if it happened in the movie. I mean the movie was great, but this....
*chef's kiss*
Oh my……the angst
Fantastic
