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.

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.
