My entire family when she sang this was like, "Her power is to stop time so she can sing!"

unpopular opinion: this is the most relatable song in encanto. even over surface pressure

I just love that Mirabel says "Bless me now as you blessed US all those years ago" instead of "as you blessed THEM". It truly shows how much she loves her family and never held it against them for getting gifts.

“I can’t take another night up in my room waiting on a miracle”
I can’t express in words how hard this hits- like I literally stay in my room waiting for a best friend-
That hit harder than a bullet train like-

I love how…singable this song is. Normally Disney likes to flex, but this time, the song doesn’t travel too much across the vocal range which is awesome because I can sing this one without sounding like a screeching eagle lol

What I love about Mirabel's voice is it does not sound like the traditional "disney princess voice". Like yes finally! Disney is getting more diverse with the voice styles and vocal ranges for their characters. Finally more people can sing disney songs!

THE RHYTHM THE GUITAR THE VOCALS IT'S ALL SO PERFECTLY COMPOSED LIN REALLY PUT HIS WHOLE MANUSSY INTO THIS

God this song is so underrated. I never related to the Disney protagonist so hard like Mirabel. This song hits way too close to home. I cried when I saw this in theaters. Like u see everyone in your family climbing these amazing lengths in their lives and then there's u just left behind just thinking to yourself "When is it my turn?" Especially when she said "I'm fine...I'm not fine" God never did lyrics hitted me so hard like a semi truck!

For me, this scene was one of the most heartbreaking in the movie. The fact that everyone in the family, even her parents, proceeded to gather around for the big family photo, WITHOUT Mirabel, as if she doesn't even exist. They may as well have been ejecting her from the family.

“Open your eyes” is such a cool line because all of the doors besides Dolores has their eyes close

If you didn’t cry during this song, you’re not human.
“OPEN YOUR EYES” HITS REALLT HARD 😭

"I'm not fine, I'm not fine"
That was the part that turn me into a sobbing mess. Just the buildup of the entire movie up to that part. We've seen that even though she doesn't have a gift, she's still proud to be a part of her family.
We see that she has a special bond with Antonio, likely because they shared the lack of a gift, and the fact that she had been living in the nursery her entire life, so they that connection. She even holds his hand to help him get to the door. We see the flashback to her ceremony, where her door disappeared. And when he gets his room (and his awesome jungle room), we can see on her face that she is happy for him, but...also sad. She didn't get a gift, and she has always struggled to fit in. And now person she was likely closest with has his own gift. And at first, she tells herself she's fine, puts on a brave face. She's still part of this amazing family. Then, she finally admits, "I'm not fine".
I legit had to pause the movie to get a box of tissues after the song. She might be my favorite Disney movie protagonist yet.

Between "Waiting on a Miracle" & "Surface Pressure" I feel like Disney is finally showing real family dynamics between siblings & parental expectations. Like that constant pressure to stand out or be equal to your siblings. I've never personally connected with a Disney song until this movie. Thank you Lin-Manuel Miranda!!

Don't be upset or mad at all
Don't feel regret or sad at all
Hey, I'm still a part of the family, Madrigal
And I'm fine, I am totally fine
I will stand on the side as you shine
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
I can't move the mountains
I can't make the flowers bloom
I can't take another night up in my room
Waiting on a miracle
I can't heal what's broken
Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane
Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain
Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle
Always walking alone
Always wanting for more
Like I'm still at that door longing to shine
Like all of you shine
All I need is a change
All I need is a chance
All I know is I can't stay on the side
Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes
I would move the mountains
Make new trees and flowers grow
Someone please just let me know, where do I go?
I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle
I would heal what's broken
Show this family something new
Who I am inside, so what can I do?
I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go
I am ready
Come on, I'm ready
I've been patient, and steadfast, and steady
Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago
When you gave us a miracle
Am I too late for a miracle?

“Can’t keep down the unspoken in visible pain” it’s nice to see that at least she notices how dolores gift affects her unlike how alma ignores the issues

I love this song. As someone going through infertility issues, I totally related to this song. It’s how it can feel to see others getting pregnant or having babies when you haven’t been blessed with that particular miracle. I just love it. We will all get our miracle.

honestly the line that had me sobbing in the movies was “hey i’m still a part of the family matrigal” (besides how broken she sounded) was like up until this part, mirabel was so happy to be apart of her family because even though she didn’t have powers of her own, she was proud of her family’s powers until it hits her that… they don’t see MIRABEL as family. that this entire time while she had been looking up to them, they had seen her… only because they were looking DOWN on her :(

When she says: Hey, I'm still apart of the family Madrigal
It's supposed to be reassuring herself that she's still special, but it also sounds like she's saying that to her family like "Uh, hey guys, I exist too! I'm here" it has a double meaning and i love it

Waiting on a Miracle: "longing to shine like all of you shine"
All of You: "but stars don't shine, they burn"

Huh...just realized something
By the end of the movie...she moved a mountain by pointing out her abuela's flaws and making the encanto break, she made new flowers and trees grow by helping her sister come out of her shell, she healed her broken family and showed them a new way of doing things.
She actually did everything she promised she'd do for a miracle.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is the genius songwriter who wrote all these songs.
In the featurette, he mentions how he tried to make Mirabel's song different from others, by using a time signature that all other songs don't use - a 3/4.
It sort of gives it more Waltz feel to it, instead of the more traditional Raggeton.
This is so wonderful.

Rare opinion: This is the best song in encanto (I LOVE THR SCENE WHERE SHES TRAILING HER HAND ALONG THE TRAIL FROM THE SPARKLER)

When the beat drops at "I cant move the moutain I cant make the flowers bloom..." I was really about to brust into tears, it's not just because of the lyrics but the melody makes my heart skip a beat. Even I'm 27 years old now but the feeling being left behind when I was a kid still like a shadow in my heart. I really can't bear it to see anyone have to face that 😢

"I would heal what's broken"
She did, she healed the family

At 2:27
That high note is clean, God's work.
Stephanie Beatriz really deserves more love.

one of the things that i don't see many people commenting on is mirabel's outfit. all those little, embroidered details that weren't there originally? they all encapsulate her families powers. the flowers, the rainbows, the animals, the landscapes on her skirt, showing the best of their abilities. it really shows how deeply mirabel loves her family, that even in her own clothing, something that she could use to express herself like isabella, or luisa, she chose to turn into something about them. it just makes abuela's treatment of mirabel that much more heartbreaking, that despite how much mirabel uplift the family, how close she was to all of them that isabella and luisa felt comfortable enough to tell her how they really felt, that antonio would ask for HER hand instead of his mother's, or father's, or even his own siblings, it was never enough for alma. it has to be so crushing to love your family that much, just to have them turn you away. i'm surprised mirabel hadn't lost hope in her family at all, though it's clear that her family is very important to her, and she's a very steadfast and compassionate person.

I really love the way she said/sang the "I'm not fine, I'm not fine" part. You can really hear the exhaustion in her voice along with the heavy breathing as she speaks the line as if she wants to cry it out loud. Literally the main reason why this is my favorite among all the other Encanto Songs.

I didn't know Stephanie Beatriz could sing until I saw Encanto, now I'm in love with her voice

I love it

This is probably my no.1 'I want' song disney had put out this decade (how far I go is a close 2nd) Mirabel's story hit close to home and I adore how this movie focused more on the characters and human emotions.
Also this song is in a comfortable vocal range for me as an alto too lol

When Mirabel said "I can't take another night up in my room, waiting on a miracle." I felt that.

0:37 that part made me fall in love with the song, the way the instruments in the background rolled in the perfect time

"I'm fine, I'm totally fine."
"I'm not fine, I'm not fine."
I felt that.

I relate to Mirabel more than any character before. I’m the youngest out of 5, I have 3 older sisters and one brother. Two out of my three sisters I associate with Luisa and Isabella, and Mirabel seeking her Abuela’s approval/love/acceptance/value whatever you wanna call it, I resonate with how I am with my mom. Me and her have explosive fights where it feels like the cracks have appeared and it just keeps cracking and cracking. God I love this movie so much but it’s so frustrating how when I tried to explain it to my family based off of how I see the movie and relate to it, they don’t care enough to pay attention or brush it off as something not worthy of much of an interest

I feel like a lot of us can relate to this and why we're vibing to this because we know what it's like being ignored or shunned for something that wasn't your fault. Mirabel's entire life had been ignored for her whole life by all her family members except her parents for not having a gift. And that's why it hurts so much in most of these scenes like when she's screaming right in front of Abuela to be noticed but just cast aside. Same with her family when she's going around them saying what she would do if she had their gifts. It's heartbreaking but is such a great scene to explain what Mirabel has gone through with basically her whole life and how she struggles so much with her thoughts everyday.

This song hits different if you're the odd one in the family. :(

"Open your eyes" is a really deep line since it effects her family's pain.
Abuela:Everyone and everything has to be perfect
Pepa:force to hide her feelings
Luisa:Everyone expects her to do everything
Isabela:Always needs to be Perfect
Camilo:Everyone thinks his power is a joke
julieta:Needs to heal everyone/overdoing cooking
Bruno & Dolores eyes are open on their doors meaning they still have pain but still see's the familys pain

This and all of you are the only songs in encanto that literally break me down into tears. Waiting On A Miracle is one of the few songs I can relate to, being useless and kinda just feeling "Why am I here?-" All of you isn't too much of a relatable song but the whole family comes together and even tho they have flaws, they still are a imperfect, loving family. Gives me goosebumps.

This is so weird but I love her voice! It’s so …non traditional Disney but it has a lovely unique sound and fits her character :)

People keep talking about what was her "real" gift, but it's just that simple, her gift was not having one.
Usually the less "privileged" (idk if it's the right word in this case) people in a family are the ones who can look through layers of generational trauma and break the cycle, just like her did

When she’s like “Open your eyes,open your eyes!”
That vocal control

"It's *my* mental breakdown, and *I* get to choose the music!"

I love what Disney did for this film!The characters personality and backstory are so well written.Theres not even a villian per say.(former antagonist) Everyone can relate to anyone in Encanto.

Such a beautiful and underrated song, man. It, ironically, slips under most people's radars - overshadowed by the rest of the family's songs but....the heart and soul in this piece us just crushing. So moving! Hands down a fav.

This song has so much more meaning than we don't talk about Bruno, as much as that song is wonderful. For the first time, we see a main protagonist suffering mentally, declaring not being fine, seeing everyone in life getting ahead, except her. Also, at 1:56 she's behind her grandma. It could depict her being "next in line".

“I can’t take another night up in my room, waiting on a miracle.” Hits different

1:43 Technically Mirabel managed to accomplish all the things she said she would.
“I will move the mountains” : the final straw to cause casita collapsing and the mountain cracking (ie moving) was her and Abuela’s argument
“make new trees and flowers grow” : her conversation/argument with Isabella manage to further unlock Isabella’s powers, making her able to grow new trees and flowers
“I will heal what’s broken” : the most obvious, Mirabel was the one who eventually healed or at least catalysed the healing of the rift in her family and the broken Casita.
“show this family something new” : that they are more than their gifts and a hope for a brighter future

As the outcast of the Family this song really hit me hard.

“Bless us now as you blessed us all those years ago” my favourite line in the whole song 🎶

Bruh anyone notice that Camilo sounds like chameleon (representing his shapeshifting abilities) and Mirabel sounds like miracle (representing how she was the miracles that saved her house and family)?

the small part where she says : "im not fine" you can hear her voice crack a little, at the same time you could also hear my heart breaking into a dozen pieces

I've already heard to a lot of people say that this song is pretty "lame" compared to the others, but the thing is that this kind of song doesn't infuses you Its rhythm inmediatly, you have to listen to it several times to learn to love it, does it worth it? Absolutely.

No because this movie captures generational trauma in Hispanic households really well. I feel like I’m the Mirabel in my story, being mistreated and misunderstood by my family. But I don’t think I can change anything, or show them something new. I honestly have to be the Bruno in this story when I move out, which sucks, but I know I can’t do anything to help my family. Is it too late to wait for a miracle? Sometimes I feel like it is for me, but who knows.

The "shine" motif repeats itself in "All of You" as well when she says "Stars don't shine, they burn". Stars look like they shine, twinkling. That's human perception, flawed, romanticized. The reality is that stars are terrifying swirling fire, so much more powerful and formidably beautiful than the misconception. Appearance vs reality theme.
Mirabel appears to her family as this "muggle" girl with no powers to speak of. That's their flawed perception. She showed them the reality, she is perhaps more powerful than them all, because SHE is the saviour of the original source of the Miracle/magic. She doesn't twinkle dimly. She burns bright, vivid, often painfully but beautifully, blindingly as the stars.

I almost cried in this scene, it's such a relatable thing, feeling like you're less than everyone else in your family. In a way, I could relate to all the sisters, Mirabel, Luisa, and Isa.

As the older child in my family I relate to this so much. My mom gives me these expectations that I can never fulfill to her ideal expectation. My brothers get this praise for doing something small but the second that I do something I’m proud of it’s either “not good enough” or “weird”. It’s given me this idea in my head that I’m older then I actually am and I push myself too hard because of it. I feel like an adult when I’m reality I’m only 13. It’s so damaging. My mom never notices me and I feel like the only in the family that everyone can just treat bad and ignore

As a younger sibling. I’ve never seen a song so relatable before. It does a very good job of showing how Mirabel thinks she’s so much worse than her siblings

Ironically has the most visually stunning and outstanding magical scenes compared to literally any song from this movie. Guess that what makes me love this song so much combined with the instrument composition and the vocal.

This song accurately describes how I feel in my family, i’m the weird one, the outcast, the one no one is ever proud of and hearing this song in the movie hit so hard

*This is probably the most relatable Disney song, i've ever heard. Growing in a family of 8 as a middle child, it was never the best feeling in the world. I always felt outcasted or rejected by everyone, treating me like a wallflower. I can't even ask for new things. It's so bad and I know that there are situations like this everywhere.*

This is my FAVORITE song in this movie. I swear, when this song started playing during the movie, I teared up. There are some lines that just hit. I actually teared up a few times when I watched the movie. What can I say? IT’S BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT!

This is by far my favorite song in Encanto I liked it a lot

To think that the voice actress is questioning if she gave this song justice left me speechless.
I couldn’t imagen how this song could be better.
If she ends up reading this. Yes. You did give this song justice and it was sung beautifully.

Lyrics:
Don't be upset or mad at all
Don't feel regret or sad at all
Hey, I'm still a part of the family, Madrigal
And I'm fine, I am totally fine
I will stand on the side as you shine
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
I can't move the mountains
I can't make the flowers bloom
I can't take another night up in my room
Waiting on a miracle
I can't heal what's broken
Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane
Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain
Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle
Always walking alone
Always wanting for more
Like I'm still at that door longing to shine
Like all of you shine
All I need is a change
All I need is a chance
All I know is I can't stay on the side
Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes
I would move the mountains
Make new trees and flowers grow
Someone please just let me know, where do I go?
I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle
I would heal what's broken
Show this family something new
Who I am inside, so what can I do?
I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go
I am ready
Come on, I'm ready
I've been patient, and steadfast, and steady
Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago
When you gave us a miracle
Am I too late for a miracle?

A lot of people can relate to surface pressure but me this song…… I relate to this song

When I watched this in the theatres I thought it was okay, but man this song really grew on me, it's so good.

What we need from Disney now is more Disney characters with diverse backgrounds like idk a princess from traditional ancient India or Japan
Edit: I know there’s a show or two on Disney that has a Indian “princess” but really it’s more of a show that kids below four like

THIS IS THE BEST SONG FROM THE MOVIE WE NEED TO APPRECIATE IT MORE

I've related to a lot of songs in my life, but this.... this I relate to the most.
I can't even express in words how much I relate to this song-
it's not easy being the family disappointment, but someone gotta do it, right..?

I can’t get over how the voice actor sung this while in labor, like holy moly???

I felt close to Mirabel throughout the film, mostly because we are very similar, but in this scene ... in this scene I didn't feel close to her, I felt HER. In the sense that I felt the same feelings about her as she did. It is a very intimate and profound moment in which we descend into the soul of the protagonist. It is wonderful and moving.

You can always tell it’s a Disney movie when the princess sings about “wanting more”

Don't be upset or mad at all
Don't feel regret or sad at all
Hey, I'm still a part of the family, Madrigal
And I'm fine, I am totally fine
I will stand on the side as you shine
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
I can't move the mountains
I can't make the flowers bloom
I can't take another night up in my room
Waiting on a miracle
I can't heal what's broken
Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane
Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain
Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle
Always walking alone
Always wanting for more
Like I'm still at that door longing to shine
Like all of you shine
All I need is a change
All I need is a chance
All I know is I can't stay on the side
Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes
I would move the mountains
Make new trees and flowers grow
Someone please just let me know, where do I go?
I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle
I would heal what's broken
Show this family something new
Who I am inside, so what can I do?
I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go
I am ready
Come on, I'm ready
I've been patient, and steadfast, and steady
Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago
When you gave us a miracle
Am I too late for a miracle?

"I'm fine, I'm totally fine."
"I'm not fine, I'm not fine."
Why does that hurt so much? 😭😭😭😭

What I enjoy most about this song is that encompasses the feelings of all pressure in life whether it be a standard you set for yourself or a standard someone else is setting. I find it the most relatable and enjoyable song of the movie simply because I feel like her pain is one we’ve all felt at one point or another in life. She goes through denying her feelings, to feeling guilty about having them, to embracing them as a part of who she is which I find to be a truly beautiful metamorphosis and a great way to connect back to butterflies which are so prominent.

Don't be upset or mad at all
Don't feel regret or sad at all
Hey, I'm still a part of the family, Madrigal
And I'm fine, I am totally fine
I will stand on the side as you shine
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
I can't move the mountains
I can't make the flowers bloom
I can't take another night up in my room
Waiting on a miracle
I can't heal what's broken
Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane
Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain
Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle
Always walking alone
Always wanting for more
Like I'm still at that door longing to shine
Like all of you shine
All I need is a change
All I need is a chance
All I know is I can't stay on the side
Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes
I would move the mountains
Make new trees and flowers grow
Someone please just let me know where do I go
I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle
I would heal what's broken
Show this family something new
Who I am inside, so what can I do?
I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go
I am ready
Come on, I'm ready
I've been patient and steadfast and steady
Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago
When you gave us a miracle
Am I too late for a miracle?

It's amazing how when she said she'd move the mountains and make new trees grow and new flowers bloom, she really did it towards the end. She might not have the gift of growing plants but she was the reason why Isabela discovered that she is more capable of growing different plants other than roses. In the end she really showed something new to the family.

This song foreshadows what's about to happen at the end of the movie. She said "I will move the mountains, I will make the flowers grow. I will heal what's broken". In the end, she did. She healed her broken family, when she activates her door, she made the flowers grow, and moved the mountains.
Did anyone notice? No? just me? Okay XD

Stephanie’s voice in this song and the way it trembles 😢🥲

"I'm not fine, I'm not fine!"
This sent me back to the pet clinic when I had gotten the word my cat had passed. Lin Manuel Miranda now accounts for 30% of the tears I've cried

Release the full scene Disney, come on don't be shy.

Stephanie é incrível ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The fact that she was in labor while recording this. Stephanie is amazing!

It’s completely insane to think that Stephanie Beatriz was IN LABOR as she sang this song.

obsessed with the way she sings "open your eyes!"
I can relate to that pain a lot. something like that...its hard to move on from. she feels like she's still that, confused, frightened little girl and all she needed was approval. she desperately wants validation and it breaks my heart that all she gets is hatred. this happens to a lot of kids.
I adore that this movie flawlessly represented the youngest, the middle child, and the oldest in sibling dynamics. never making one experience more important than the other.

Am I the only one who starts crying when she sings "I'm not fine" ? This is the first time I feel soooo connected to a character.

"I can't take another night up in my room"
"Like I'm still at that door"
These lines hurts so much because typically I don't find Disney songs relatable but this. Is so different. As a person who has a trauma and depression I often stay hidden in my room rethinking my life before it was broken longing for that happiness I can't get. I don't know if this song intended it to be but it's a perfect representation of how depression can cause you to yearn for happiness because for some it's so foreign that it feels like 'magic' that people gain it so easily

This song is so relatable and it hits different especially " I'll stand on the side as you shine"

I feel like Mirabel. Waiting on a miracle. I'm waiting to be recognized. I feel like it's too late for something good to happen to my life.

This movie definitely surprised me. I thought it was going to be a basic its ok not to be just like your siblings and you its better to yourself than try to be someone else. but its a story about families differences and that even if people in your life seem like they got everything you've ever wanted it comes with a lot of stress of putting up a face in front of loved ones. A message i'm sure many people (including myself) have felt a lot of.

“I can’t take another night up in my room”
“All I need is a chance”
“Open your eyes”
I’m not fine”
“Show this family something new”
“Can’t keep down the unspoken invisible me”
I have never Realtek to something so much

"I would move the mountains" "make new trees and flowers grow" what i think this song really shows is that even if you cant do something it doesn't mean that you wouldn't do it.

My 8-yr old loves the movie Encanto (she watched it with her older sisters) but when she requested me to play this song to put her to sleep I was so curious why as I have not really watched the movie and only heard of the song We Don’t Talk About Bruno.. after playing seeing the lyrics and reading the comments on how powerful most people find this song to be, I am amazed at how at a young age, my daughter already appreciates a song like this and saying it’s her favorite. 😊

This song reminds me of "Reflection" in Mulan where she's wondering when her worth to herself and her family will be discovered.

As someone who suffers from a couple of medical problems, I can relate alot with this song. "Am I too late for a miracle?" Oh how I felt that 😔✊

How powerful and magical a song can ever be that it brings tears to the eyes

"I can't heal what's broken" hits different!

Beautiful song!!!

as the youngest in my family, this song personally hits me hard. my parents have these high expectations and if i don’t reach them, im not important. with my older brother, he can get whatever result and they’ll be happy. i understand it’s not his fault. but i feel like an adult because of the expectations i have instead of a child. i’m always waiting for the day where they look past my flaws and love me truly.
