It sounds like Isabella's or Julieta's version now for me... I mean, "the golden child" is usually also the one who carries too heavy burden. And yeah, "the crushing weight of expectations" line really fits them.
I've been thinking for a while that Waiting for a Miracle, Surface Pressure, and What Else Can I Do fit Bruno, Julieta, and Pepa respectively too well for it to be a coincidence.
@@playlistnation423 it also kinda fits the Cousins as well. Waiting on a miracle kinda fits Antonio’s fears at the beginning of the movie, Surface Pressure fits Camilo fighting his whole to live up to everyone in the Encantos wishes and expectations. What else can I do fits Dolores and her waiting to be something more than the girl in the back, the quiet one, as we see just how wild and loud she really is in those two seconds before she gets her gift back.
@@sigridhorn2408 nice thought! Yet I think might swich Camilo and Dolores; like, Dolores always has to keep thousands of secrets, she hears every sound (honestly think she can control it but still), she probably must know everything to be ready to warn abuela if smth serious is gonna happen. It’s a big pressure, I think. Camilo might be stuck in his roles: he turns into other people to help but no one needs help by Camilo himself. He may not even know what *he* can do. So “What else can I do” may fit him too.
I actually started crying. No lie. I've been backed up with school for the past 3 months where I haven't had time to spend with my friends or my girlfriend or my family. It's one thing after another back to back assignments and tests and it makes me feel all the pressure because of it and I try so hard not to let it dictate my life, but it's becoming more increasingly difficult. Thank you for reminding me that it's okay to let loose some emotions sometimes Ashley.
I've been bullied my whole life and I'm 18 years old and I'm on my last week left of home school for the class of 2022.. I dont know if I'm ready for it.
Also, I have a D&D character this fits. She's an aasimar (a person born touched by divine power) who was the first of her kind born to an extremely devout remote community, and basically put on a pedestal/expected to be a religious symbol rather than an actual person with strengths and weaknesses and feelings. From a young age she's had to have a central role in religious ceremonies, without them really taking into account that she was a kid who wanted to play and explore and such. To cope with the stress, she took to hiding out in the woods, and met a friend there - a strange old woman who really seemed to care and listened to all her problems, and even gave her a magic token so she could contact her friend at any point. They grew closer, and this old woman started suggesting little minor acts of rebellion, nothing really damaging but more like fun pranks to let off steam. And then, one day, the old woman suggested something that damaged their town's protective wards, at which point, the old woman revealed that she was an annis hag with a vendetta against the town. She slaughtered most of the town, and left my character alive to mourn them and feel crushing guilt over their deaths.
The slower speed of the piano completely changes the mood of the song! Instead of someone confessing their fears, it more like someone who already lost themselves and are trying to not to break further.
I personally find the original sadder. You can see her strong demeanor and hear the pressure, and her voice continues sounds to be more broken. It is also is a different type of braking in her voice that just get me when I hear it. The delivery in this seems to have less variation between lines and parts. The type of braking in thos one reminds me of sad in the Michael in the Bathroom's beginning, and the original is the type of braking from the end. Edit: I do love it and think it sounds amazing and sad, just different.. Plus, I'm kinda known to interpret music differently than other's.
I actually think Michael in the Bathroom type song would benefit Luisa well. As much as I love the original Surface Pressure, it breaks my emersion almost every time I watch Encanto. Part of why Waiting on a Miracle is my favorite song is that is was so easy to get sucked into the emotions Mirabel was feeling over her exclusion in the family. Everything before that point in the move was building up to it. I see what they were going for with all of the nonsensical metaphors in Surface Pressure, but it just didn't work for me.
Luisa is probably one of the most relatable characters Disney has ever given us. She loves her family and does everything she can’t to help her family. But things keep piling on and piling on and she’s starting to get overwhelmed but she doesn’t want to admit she’s overwhelmed because she feels like that would be letting her family down. So she puts on a smile and acts like everything is fine as she tries to power through leaving her with this crushing PRESSURE building just UNDER THE SURFACE.
I tried to write Mirabel's version of surface pressure 👇 I'm Not the strong one And might be a lil bold No one notices me Standing here in cold Can't do hard work Or be pretty Keep the hopes up Or be your cup of tea I don't ask how, hard the work is I work to be worthy, with a lot of patience All I have ever done, somehow it's all wrong Still a strong mind, I serve at behind But.. Under the surface I feel I'm breaking My foot steps over the thorn field I'm walking Under the surface , like me has anyone ever felt this worthless? Under the surface , I feel like I'm useless I can't be of service A flaw and a crack, there's a straw in the stack, disappointment never leaves and the pressure comes back.. It's pressure that'll drip drip drip that'll never Stop, woah. Pressure that'll tip tip tip till you just go pop, woah- oh -oh Mirabel you can never do it, just forget it step back and leave it Who am I to be called a Madrigal When I fail to... Pressure that'll grip grip grip and it won't let go, woah Pressure that'll tick tick tick till it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh Mirabel only makes the work hard and Am I here being a family burden Who am I when I can't even try If I cry well.....
I always almost cried every time I heard the original and this version is definitely sadder. Luisa is still a child, she shouldn't be feeling like this. 😢
You just reminded me why I love this song so much. If this was from a very long musical version of encanto I feel like this could be how she'd sing it in the reprise.
Another brilliant and beautiful cover once again Ashley i love it! you did such a magnificent job performing this song your vocals are just fantastic and excellent make no mistake about, simply righteous and incredible work major kudos to you!!!
Just Beautiful 💙 I really miss your audio drama, but I hope you are HAPPY. I know you had a tough past but I know you can shine bright and keep doing amazing things.
This is good, just want to put that out there; great cover of the original and it’s interesting to see it covered in different ways with unique instrumentals and varying tones. Personally, I prefer the original as I can definitely tell it’s about Luisa’s struggles to handle everything and take on every burden without a problem and this feels more like Isabella, or Julietta, or even Dolores. The building instrumentals throughout the original were incredible and you could almost feel yourself that increasing amount of stress on Luisa’s shoulders on yours too. The last part is my favourite section of the song, the peaceful lamenting for some freedom to relax and enjoy yourself before reality crashes back down on Luisa and the instrumentals get louder and louder before breaking into the chorus again. Again, I’m not saying this is bad, but the interpretation didn’t resonate the same feelings in me the original had; yes, the dancing donkeys didn’t help at points and undermined the true meaning behind the lyrics at points, but the gentle piano just doesn’t suit the words of the song and what’s supposed to be being entasised here. Hope that makes sense at least. This is great still and I liked listening to it, if other people enjoyed it, I’m glad you could resonate with the emotions here but this one didn’t hit home for me. Nothing against Ashley H btw, I love her voice and other covers, just wanted to say my opinion here too.
I can imagine when no one else is home and she's on the verge of breaking, Casita would bring her a piano and she would gently play this to herself. As someone with a couple instruments and more than a couple breakdowns, I can tell you this is a huge thing for me.
I really enjoy watching your videos every day and night and I hope you have a great night 🌙❤️ and I love your channel so much and I love all the stuff that you have made for everyone to enjoy 😊
Mom: sleep now children Children: *doesn't sleep yet* Mom: *plays this song* Children: *sleeps* That one child that had nightmares because of this song: *cries* WaAaAaAaH
Warning: Disturbing Imagery, Hanging, Death A visual I thought of while listening to this. I often feel a noose-like thing around my neck when breaking or really upset, so that probably contributed to this; A crowd of people, all of them with nooses around their necks, but only one is tight enough to cause rope burn and choking. Different things happen, the people withstanding a glacier whilst the focus character nearly gets crushed. A light breeze knocking her over while everyone else remains standing. Then the crowd walks forward, their respective nooses showing no resistance, some even breaking. One arm is wrapped around the noose, trying to get it off, while the other hand is outstretched for help. No one acknowledges her as she tries and fails to walk or run with them. Then the noose starts getting shorter, she gets more desperate to escape as her feet struggle to even touch the ground. And then she's alone, choking to death. And only after her arms go slack and the last breath leaves her mouth does the noose finally snap, letting the body collapse to the ground.
oh my god... This song already resonated so much with me as a trans woman, but this... This just made me cry, and I'm being dead serious. This sounds like Luisa is genuinely being consumed by the pressure
@@AuraNova-AshleyH Oh Sorry 😞 Uh what I meant to say was a FanMade Story of MLP G5 , By the way Which Characters Are your Favorite from that Film Mine Are Pipp Zipp Izzy & Sunny?🙁✌️👋👍🤩
it sounds kinda like a lullaby. it also gives it a whole other meaning
what’s the other meaning?
@@abbyanderson2463
It's just them trying to sound deep.
@@abbyanderson2463 I interpreted it as the lullaby feeling being Luisa finally being able to take a rest.

I feel the same sometimes I'm a older sister so I have a lot of responsibilities it gets hard sometimes but you have to keep going and don't give up
homework hits hard and it makes me feel introverted and stressed out regardless of how much it seems, i totally know what you mean.
I know that pressure very well right now I've got tests upon test and work on top of that and all the expectations from my family 🙃😕
I felt sad at the first lyrics, you got to my feels.
I've been bullied my whole life and I'm 18 years old and I'm on my last week left of home school for the class of 2022.. I dont know if I'm ready for it.
This feels like the reprise after all she's feared has come true and it's all her fault for not being strong enough.
Also, I have a D&D character this fits.

@@maryannsmith7436 I agree, I was just saying part is more like this and part is more like Surface Pressure original.
You added more emotion to this than I expected. I love it and you made me sad. This makes me feel worse for Luisa.

I tried to write Mirabel's version of surface pressure 👇
I'm Not the strong one
And might be a lil bold
No one notices me
Standing here in cold
Can't do hard work
Or be pretty
Keep the hopes up
Or be your cup of tea
I don't ask how, hard the work is
I work to be worthy, with a lot of patience
All I have ever done, somehow it's all wrong
Still a strong mind, I serve at behind
But..
Under the surface I feel I'm breaking
My foot steps over the thorn field I'm walking
Under the surface , like me has anyone ever felt this worthless?
Under the surface , I feel like I'm useless
I can't be of service
A flaw and a crack, there's a straw in the stack, disappointment never leaves and the pressure comes back..
It's pressure that'll drip drip drip that'll never Stop, woah.
Pressure that'll tip tip tip till you just go pop, woah- oh -oh
Mirabel you can never do it, just forget it step back and leave it
Who am I to be called a Madrigal
When I fail to...
Pressure that'll grip grip grip and it won't let go, woah
Pressure that'll tick tick tick till it's ready to blow, woah-oh-oh
Mirabel only makes the work hard and
Am I here being a family burden
Who am I when I can't even try
If I cry well.....
@Oggy kind of. It's Mirabel's 😂

This whole time I thought she said "Who am I if I cant run with the Bulls?"

I slowed it down to 0.70x and I kind of like it better that way
Une voie absolument magnifique
:'D same Luisa same
Hey, AshleyH
You should do a audio drama series based on G5
I love that song fantastic job Ashley
😢I heard this after my Dad and Aunt died, I’m trying to hold it together for my family, It’s been a year since they died
congrats, I cried
This is what this song should've been if her stress wasn't treated as a joke or punchline
Awesome cover
How come none of these songs are on SoundCloud or Apple Music
How come this have that less watch?
This deserve *MORE* view!
damn this is amazing
This made me cry because
!VENT!
A family member of mine has this problom and they can relete to this a lot. Overall u got an amazing voice
Lovely and sad
oh my god... This song already resonated so much with me as a trans woman, but this... This just made me cry, and I'm being dead serious. This sounds like Luisa is genuinely being consumed by the pressure
Its not 100%sader... its more like 500% T-T
Good job
Muy hermosa, Ashley
This song is sooo saddd
Damn it, this song was already sad, why do you do this to me.
Can you make a cover of “Five nights at Freddy’s 1 song” by the living tombstone
ooh！ooh！wonder which encanto song is next。。
I like this version!!! Uhm, the music seems to be louder than your voice sometimes and that’s bothersome but I really like it!!
Fantastic video 😊
Doesn’t it look like Mirabel and Luisa are about to cry😞
You have a nice voice
I don't know why, but this reminds me of Undyne from Undertale
100th and nahhh if luisa didnt hide that she was nervous
make a 1 hour one!
For me it's changing "sister" to "daughter".
Replace "sister" with "girlfriend" and yeah, this...okay -
Could you please do Anything Rememberance Releated Gal?🙁
Please don't comment this. Things like this make me not want to work on it. Be patient or it's never gonna come.
