And relating heavily to Bruno

This is awesome and I can’t believe Jessica joined in!

My Ranking of The Encanto Soundtrack(From Most to Least Favorite)

*The Encanto soundtrack is great and there is no song I dislike*

Here is my ranking:

1. We Don’t Talk About Bruno

I know it’s a pretty basic favorite but I don’t care. I love the music and the different singing styles. Plus, it introduced me to the movie. I heard about how popular this song and I listened to the audio and got hooked. My favorite parts are Dolores and Camilo’s, they are unique and great.

2. Surface Pressure

As someone who has anxiety issues and feels constant pressure, this song really resonated with me. The lyrics were also really, and I got sort of emotional near the end. Jessica Darrow does a great job singing this song.

3. Waiting on a Miracle

I also struggle with feeling out of place in my family so Waiting on a Miracle hit me hard in the feels. I don’t have a lot to say other than I relate to the lyrics and the desperation in Mirabel’s voice to make her family proud.

4. Colombia, Mi Encanto

This song gives me such nostalgia on the good times I had with my grandmother when I was little. And the beat is just so infectious.

5. What Else Can I Do?

Now we are at part of the list where I don’t particularly love the songs.

I don’t know why but I don’t feel much for this song even though it is well produced and the lyrics are good. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Isabella that much. She was a good character but I had trouble connecting with her troubles, especially when the way she was handling it was being mean towards Mirabel. I think I would’ve been more forgiving towards her if a reason for her anger towards Mirabel was addressed and that Isabella’s development was not so rushed.

6. The Family Madrigal

Weirdly enough, I’m not in love with the musical numbers that don’t focus on a specific character. I guess with We Don’t Talk About Bruno is like an ensemble song but the main focus was Bruno. The Family Madrigal is a great song for introducing all the characters in a fun way though I wouldn’t listen to it as much.

7. Dos Oruguitas

I’m not a Spanish speaker so it’s hard for me to connect with this song since it’s all in Spanish. Though, it fits perfectly with the corresponding scene, and I got pretty emotional the first time I saw the scene.

8. All of You

Like The Family Madrigal, I didn’t love All of You because it was an ensemble song. There were some parts are enjoyed like Bruno’s little rap and the small cute moments between the family. Mirabel finally getting a door was so sweet though.

Overall, this is a really cute ending song!

First candid post:

I just want one person in the world to see that my burden needs to be lifted vs just congratulating me on how well I take said burdens.

.....Does this mean I am not fine?

"my child is fine" your child is listening to Surface Pressure on repeat

Yes, therapy is cool and stuff...

But have you ever listened to the Ukrainian version of Surface Pressure?

I just found Luisa's villain song

To be be fair, I think that villain Luisa is pretty OOC. But I like any content about Luisa, and the song is cool! (Obviously, I am not the creator)

Do you know how popular headcanon about Luisa being a sweetheart who'd never hurt a fly?

I mean, I don't think that Luisa is violent type, but if you think for a moment..

She's the only Madrigal who used a physical violence in the movie intentionally in order protect Mirabel. While it most likely happens in imagination, Luisa still kills Cerberus during surface pressure. And Cerberus is one out of three characters who died in the movie (Two if concidered that Casita came back to life)

She also doesn't seem reluctant, she actually acts pretty determined, like grabs the weapon herself and doesn't hestitate to attack back.

And the song makes a huge focus on Luisa's protectiveness toward Mirabel. It seems to be pretty big part of her personality.

So, yes, I feel that Luisa will fight to keep her family safe. I doubt she'd want to tho, she doesn't seem like she's having fun in the scene. (But we talk about what she will do, not what she wanted to do)

So, in surface pressure, Luisa gets crushed by Casita and then lifts it. But if we look at foundation, it seems completely intact. So it means Luisa was squeezed by the building and then got back to shape. So...

Luisa is a liquid!

(Or, maybe there was a a damage to the floor that made her burrow inside the floor. But that's boring)

Surface pressure, but only when Luisa's off screen

No, I have no explanation for this

Surface pressure, but Mirabel is Luisa's personal teddy bear

Have anyone asked for translated version of Ukranian surface pressure? No? Well, it's still here!

I know my Ukranian isn't perfect so if I translated wrong somewhere, you're more than welcome to correct me.

Nerves

I'm mighty, I'm like a flint.

My nerves are as strong as a belt

(I) move bricks and building.

My strength is valued everywhere

I will push stable back to the house

And will break what (I) must break

If I have to — will spin. Not crying, not barking.

Have a hard nature, I don't see troubles.

However. At the bottom of my soul, it's like I'm on a wire.

And endless fear sits deep as a villain

Аt the bottom of his soul, Heracles also thought

"Screw those heroic situations!"

At the bottom of my soul, I'm so afraid not to be in use

When something bad happens.

If you won't act, troubles will start

The end of all hope will wait us then!

So nerves are sip, sip, sip, again

It's been like this since long ago

Nerves are tip, tip tip

Everything goes upsidedown.

But I'm a sister who's a little older.

So all worries are cancelled.

Who else can carry every burden?

To the goal

Though nerves are smik, smik, smik again

A million worries.

And minutes are tick, tick, tick

There's problems for seven (people)

But I'm a sister who's a little stronger

So "Ah" and "Ouh" are all cancelled.

Who can give me a helping hand?

At the bottom of my soul, I know it pointless

To stand at the way of problems all the time

At the bottom of my soul, the ship is swimming

But not everything is as smooth in nature

At the bottom of my soul, I can't stop thinking

about how to avoid harm.

(You're) Lining up the dominoes, but it's all the same

Somebody will blow and all the line will lie again

And what if I would push this burden

Onto other people? I would become lighter that a fluff.

Open (my) wings, forget about fatigue. But instead

The unknown disturbs, worries (me)

Because something is above

Nerves are sip, sip, sip again

Like a metronome

Nerves are smik, smik, smik again

Everything goes upside down

But your sister is so persistent

(She) had lifted the family cargos and haven't fallen

I never spare my power for my relatives

That's my gift

So, nerves are tip, tip, tip again

Is million worries

And minutes tick, tick, tick

There's problems for seven (people)

But your sister is strong and rapid

She's able to move bare rocks nimbly.

Who am I if I won't give myself somewhere?

So I am your saving gift!

Support!

Because it's Ukranian flag day (And Independence day is stepping on) Here's some of my favourite lyrics for songs in Ukranian version of Encanto

The family Madrigal

У праці задля інших не згасне полум'я дива — In work for other the flame of the miracle won't slake

(But work and dedication will keep the miracle burning)

I wasn't entirely sure which pyrics could fit, as the meating is relatively simular to the original song. At it's more of introduction to the movie. Tho I like Alma saying that miracle won't fade BECAUSE they work for the community. Tho she still does in English version so

Уваги вартує кожен Мадриґал — Every Madrigal deserves attention

(So, just to review the family Madrigal)

Again, this one just seemed funny to me. Mirabel be like: Every Madrigal deserves attention *proceeds to ignore herself*

Waiting on a miracle

Я немов те зерно, що не зросло, де все зацвіло — I'm like that one that one seed that hasn't sprouted where everything blooms.

(Like I’m still at that door longing to shine like all of you shine)

I LOVE this analogy. It just fits so great to Mirabel's character. It's probably my favourite lyric line at all. (Also WOAM is my favourite in Ukranian soundtrack like it sounds amazing)

Surface pressure

Тут проблем на сімох — Here's problems for seven people

(till it's ready to blow)

Surface pressure, of course, has a whole lot of amazing metaphors. But I mean I can't write everything. I like this line just for the fact that it's saying how Luisa works way more normal human capability.

Хто я є, якщо десь ради не дам? Тож я ваш рятувальний дар! Опора! — Who am I if I won't give myself somewhere? So I'm your saving gift! Support!

(Who am I if I don't have what it takes? No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes! No pressure)

Not sure if adding last lines is fair, I mean it's supposed to be a strong moment. But in Ukranian, calling somebody Support (or maybe it's better translated as beam) has the same meaning as call them Rock of the family. Which is a nice allegory to Luisa's role in the family. Also "Who am I if I won't give myself somewhere?" is a great way to summarize Luisa's overworking

We don't talk about bruno

Ми цвіли в той день, з тих пір ніде — We bloomed that day, and since then nowhere

(What a joyous day, but anyway )

Nothing to say, we just love these two

Чуєш ти чи ні? — Do you hear or not?

(Do you understand?)

Again, it just sounds great simply because of Dolores' powers, as well as the fact that she's quiet and tends to be unheard.

What else can I do?

Жила десь у просторі мрій, tа ці мрії чужими були... — You lived here in the world of the dreams, but these dreams weren't yours

(You just seem like your life's been a dream since the moment you opened your eyes)

Another extremely strong line! Just the fact that Mirabel admits Isabela lived in a world of Abuela's dream rather than being who she wants. It sounds so amazing and oretty much summarize Isabela's character before WECID how she was forced to be somebody else

All of you

А сила це не все - необхідний досвід,

Як і відвага зробити дослід! — And strenght isn't everything, you need experience - As well as a courage for experiment

(I may not be as strong, but I’m getting wiser. Yeah, I need sunlight and fertilizer)

Same with SF, this song has a lot of allegory which is great. But I'm very biased for the cold sisters/j

Лише себе у сім'ї — Only myself with the family

(I see me, all of me)

Again, the last line in the movie (aside from La Famillia Madrigal!) So it's pretty cheating. But Mirabel says that she not just sees herself, but herself as a part of the family is so sweet like cmon

I feel very insulted. My little cousin asked Alexa to play We Don’t Talk About Bruno and then kicked me out of the room and closed the door so he could listen alone. Now he’s just jamming out.

Love that the Donkeys take a step back in Surface Pressure because they know Luisa is about to go off.

Re-watching Encanto only ends two ways: crying while wishing for your generational trauma to be mended, and singing along

Any other eldest daughters who heard “Surface Pressure” for the first time and had to stare at the wall for a few minutes, because that sh*t hits different? No? Just me? Cool.

Hot take:

Strong for Somebody Else is just Surface Pressure for big boys/girls/nb pals-

Surface Pressure

Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa

Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh

Give it to your sister, your sister's older

Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder

Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

If I fall to

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa

Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh

Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

See if she can hang on a little longer

Who am I if I can't carry it all?

If I falter

Strong for Somebody Else

My personal hell

I'll bury it, bury it

Weight of the world

I'll carry it, carry it

Pile it all on

I've gotta be strong

For somebody, for somebody

Put my pain in a pill

I'll swallow it, swallow it

Too numb to feel

I'm hollow, I'm hollow

I have to hold on

I've gotta be strong

For somebody, for somebody

These aren't the full lyrics, obviously, but I had Strong for Somebody Else on repeat and my brain mush made a connection :)
