I have heard all of Hamilton and most of In the Heights and I truly believe that THIS is the best song Lin has written. it's not incredibly complicated or genius... in fact if you look at the lyrics they're actually quite simple and straightforward. but the simplicity, music, harmonies, and Mandy's passion make this song. I love how she sings "I am the one who made it out!" also the faster part of the firescapes. just so much passion and beauty. 👏👏👏

Okay so seeing Lin singing some of the background parts here made me really emotional. He built this character from the ground up, and now he's in the background, out of sight, guiding her along and telling her to breathe. She has a path to walk, and things will get worse before they get better, but he made her and he's going to be there for her.

@iss3444 жыл бұрын
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 walking real slow. Welcome home, Just breathe, Sigue andando el camino Por toda su vida. Nina: 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 the city was mine. I remember the praise, Community: Ay, the adoro, te quiero. Te adoro, The neighborhood waved, And said, "Nina, be brave, Te quiero, And you're gonna be fine!" Respira! And maybe it's me, Respira! But it all seems like Lifetimes ago, So what do I say To these faces That I used to know? "Hey, I'm home?" Neighbor Lady: Mira, Nina, Hey, Lady & Community: No me preocupo por ella. They're not worried about me. Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella. They are all counting on me to succeed. Ella si da la talla, Nina: Community: I am the one who made it out. Aaah! The one who always Aaah! Made the grade. Aaah! But maybe I should Mira, Have just stayed home, Nina. When I was a child I stayed wide awake, Climbed to the highest place On every fire escape- Restless to climb. Respira, I got every scholarship, Saved every dollar, The first to go to college, How do I tell them why Respira, I'm coming back home With my eyes on Aaah! The horizon, Aaah! 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, And what will my parent say? Nina, Can I go in there and say, Nina, "I know that I'm Letting you down, " Abuela Claudia: Nina, Just breathe

Exactly. This was a reunion concert and they all brought the emotion and acting. Especially Mandy. The movie cutting out all the emotions of the character of Nina and Benny really took away from a decent movie. Nina is a main character, and in the movie they made her a glorified extra. It hurt me. At least I still have my bootlegs and this beautiful reunion concert.

2:40 ... how to kill a whole theater. This is instant tears in the eyes of everyone. One of the perfect moments you only see/hear in live performances.
2:30 I dont know why but I love the way she sang "fire-escape"
that makes no sense at all! Her voice literally just flys out of her mouth! effortlessly! if I could sing like that people would hate me because i would sing EVERYTHING! god i love mandy! she brought tears to my eyes

Yeah she is!
C-Jack and Linnamon are to precious for this world.
I live a few blocks away from The United Palace Theater. Still kicking myself for not seeing this reunion nor the show while it was on Broadway.
Mandy Gonzalez is my queen

Oh Mandy, every single time I hear you sing I get goosebumps! The whole song! Every single time! Love her so much :)
This song gives me GOOSE BUMPS every single time mandy sings it I sweat, this is the only song that Lin has written that gets me this riled up It's just a master piece with how simple but powerful it is I'm having feelings ahhhh
I love how the only people not singing background are Chris and the people who play Nina's mom and dad because like...Yeah. that's accurate to the characters. Her parents don't know she's back yet...Benny can't speak much Spanish... It makes sense I love that look Lin gives her like "I am so proud of you" I love Piragua guy.... I just adore this song!
3:29 look at vanessa's face😭😭 i love this cast so much god.... nina is the best. her story seems bleak and *shallow* for some but that's just not true. mandy just makes that story even more touching. "just.... breathe."
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 walking real slow. Welcome home, Just breathe, Sigue andando el camino Por toda su vida. Nina: 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 the city was mine. I remember the praise, Community: Ay, the adoro, te quiero. Te adoro, The neighborhood waved, And said, "Nina, be brave, Te quiero, And you're gonna be fine!" Respira! And maybe it's me, Respira! But it all seems like Lifetimes ago, So what do I say To these faces That I used to know? "Hey, I'm home?" Neighbor Lady: Mira, Nina, Hey, Lady & Community: No me preocupo por ella. They're not worried about me. Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella. They are all counting on me to succeed. Ella si da la talla, Nina: Community: I am the one who made it out. Aaah! The one who always Aaah! Made the grade. Aaah! But maybe I should Mira, Have just stayed home, Nina. When I was a child I stayed wide awake, Climbed to the highest place On every fire escape- Restless to climb. Respira, I got every scholarship, Saved every dollar, The first to go to college, How do I tell them why Respira, I'm coming back home With my eyes on Aaah! The horizon, Aaah! 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, And what will my parent say? Nina, Can I go in there and say, Nina, "I know that I'm Letting you down, " Abuela Claudia: Nina, Just breathe

I love Lin's face throughout the song... he looks so proud, even after all this time. Lovely!
She's phenomenal! and I love this song so much..!
After being in position where I’m supposed to be going to college but feeling scared about it all this song hits right in the feels
Her voice is perfect. And this song...ugh. Perfect concert.

veemaki, it's like saying your favorite song is This is Me, and the other person thinks you're talking about the song by Demi Lovato, and you're talking about the powerful song from The Greatest Showman.
The guitar failed at the end, but I STILL BAWLED ANYWAYS
i almost forgot to watch this today

real stuff right here
this song with Mandy always give me goosebumps
She sings this so well the part (chorus) when she sings the first one to go to college is just Insta repeat for me :D
shes out of this world what a talent
I'm sittin on an Amtrak train trying to darndest to not sing along at the top of my lungs lol
I love how theyre all in the background in awe like "DAMMMMMMMN SON SHES FRICKING AMAZING"
the fact that Karen Olivo her co star is crying after hearing this songs hundreds of times means something.
This song seems so simple but conveys so much, I love it.
Why does piraguero have the best voice in the cast though?
SHE OWNED IT. NAILED IT. SIGNED AND DELIVERED
I always come back to this vid… god she’s a beast
I used to see Mandy on the train all the time when i went to university. Being a YUGE ITH fan, I would lk get giddy but never asked for anything. It was just a priviledge to be on the same cart as her.
Imagine that “when I was a child” transitioning to Spanish Lowkey sings in Portuguese due to that being the language I can sing... I can’t with myself :3
I'm not crying.. are you crying...lol....but seriously that was beautiful. I actually felt her pain in this song. I even saw a couple of the castmates cry.
This makes me smile from joy every time I see this. The energy and commitment to this song fills my musical heart
All the goosebumps! you can see "Nina" in the background experiencing the catharsis with all her body.
I love this song.Lin writing with Mandy voice...Perfection.😍
I love how I learn more Spanish from this then I did in 3 years of actual Spanish class and also Nina you great soul
All the cast members were holding back tears
I'd only listened to the film version and never cried but this was instantly tear jerking. Wow. This guy blows me away all the time.
I hope anyone who saw the movie stumbles on this version here and sees how it should be DONE!!! Now THIS is how you connect with (and being tears to) an audience! (I don’t know if in the movie it was the actress or the director or both but this should have had everyone in the movie theater bawling but it stead it was too “lite”, IMHO)

Exactly. This was a reunion concert and they all brought the emotion and acting. Especially Mandy. The movie cutting out all the emotions of the character of Nina and Benny really took away from a decent movie. Nina is a main character, and in the movie they made her a glorified extra. It hurt me. At least I still have my bootlegs and this beautiful reunion concert.
I am bawling my eyes out like Karen Olivo in this video everytime I see a performance of this number, whoever plays Nina
i have heard beautiful versions of this song, and leslie grace sang it so well in the film, but god NOBODY can sing this song like Mandy Gonzalez does
its so cute that me and Karen are crying together
I cried when I heard this song for the first time ... my favorite of the musical!!
So true! She deserves to be praised.
I LOVE this song so much
What a powerful performance! I'm a mess right now.
This is so amazing... on SOOO many levels! ❤️
i truly cry every time... this song is so amazing.
PERFECTIONNNNNNNNN, I'm crying, I love Mandy Gonzalez
This song makes me emotional every time. 🥺❤️
This is one of the best songs LIn has ever written.
I'm addicted in this perfomance. She's amazing.
Oh my god 🙆 Just oh my god !!! That was so passionate and heartfelt and just SPECTACULAR ✨🌟💫 Gosh I loved this 😢🙌
A good look at Lin throughout the video and an amazing song with an incredible singer. This video is amazing. ;;
she is AMAZING
She's so amazing. I love this song.
3:23 Like a proud father
I GOT GOOSEBUMPS THROUGHOUT THE SONG. MANDY IS 👑
I don't even know how to freak out right now! You know how you just suddenly get goosebumps??!?
i loved this performance !!!!!

Me too. You actually did it like her last time you performed this song!
This is my favorite song. Even though I don't speak Spanish it resonates with me, "Just Breathe" so much so I look up the Spanish words so I can understand the meaning and poorly sing lol 🤣
this is the song that always makes me cry. sin duda, su mejor canción
When the *reunion* was almost 10 years ago and the actual show was almost 20 years ago 😅
This song makes me weep!
i got goosebumps she is amazing
She's so amazing :)
I was in a masterclass with Mandy and she was really sweet and had great feedback. She's a really great actress and she does a beautiful job in whatever she is doing.
chills. every time.
That moment right before “straighten the spine” chills.
This is incredibly powerful
best Nina ever, amazing
First time I see this. This girl is pure power and sweetness! Still no movie of this great musical?
ok no song ever has fucked me up as much as this does. not a single song. i cry every damn time i listen to this.
The 2021 cast did the songs justice #lesliegrace did beautifully well.
LOVE this song
Chris bobbing his head in the background is adorable
