As many of you will know I am a big Lin Manuel Miranda fan and one of his newest projects is the Disney film Encanto which is coming out on Disney+ on Christmas Eve so I thought that I would write a list of some of my favourite lyrics 🙂
- A rhythm of its own design, This is my family, A perfect constellation, So many stars and everybody gets to shine- The Family Madrigal
- My primo Camilo won’t stop until he makes you smile today, My cousin Dolores can hear this whole chorus a mile away- The Family Madrigal
- Always walking alone, Always wanting for more, Like I’m still at that door longing to shine, Like all of you shine- Waiting On a Miracle
- Under the surface, Was Hercules ever like “Yo, I don’t wanna fight Cerberus”?- Surface Pressure
- But wait, If I could shake the crushing weight of expectations, Would that free some room up for joy, Or relaxation, or simple pleasure?, Instead we measure this growing pressure- Surface Pressure
- grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling, I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling, I associate him with the sound of falling sand- We Don’t Talk about Bruno
- When he calls your name it all fades to black, Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams- We Don’t Talk About Bruno
- It’s not symmetrical or perfect, But it’s beautiful and it’s mine- What else can I do?
- What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment?, What could I do if I just knew it didn’t need to be perfect? It just needed to be? And they let me be?- What Else Can I do
- The miracle is not some magic that you’ve got, The miracle is you, not some gift, just you- All of You
- And I wanted you to know that your bro loves you so, Let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it go- All of You
- We have no gifts, but we are many, And we’ll do anything for you, It’s a dream when we work as a team- All of You
Let me know if you have seen the film Encanto and if so which song is your favourite 🙂
