Disney always out does themselves with villain songs. BUT having others sing from the perspective that Bruno is the villain when he ISNT ONE! Masterpiece

It’s sad that everyone misunderstood Bruno. His gift is pretty straightforward, he can see images representing the most probable future. He can’t change it, he isn’t influencing it, he isn’t told exactly what the future is, all he’s doing is seeing images of the most probable future. It’s up to him to interpret what he saw, and sometimes he’s wrong or just doesn’t know. And, unfortunately, since no one other than Bruno and Maribel seems to understand that Bruno has no power over the future itself he’s vilified by his own family, his own mother even. Hell, he believed it was partially his fault too. He kept knocking on wood, crossing his fingers, throwing salt and sugar over his shoulders, the poor guy was gaslit to believe he was a problem, when in fact his gift may be the most powerful of all the gifts we see besides the miracle itself.

I love that the song is 100% deliberate in painting Bruno as the bad guy but when we finally meet him, he's a nervous wreck who just wants to be loved by his family and not be seen as a burden due to his gift. With context it makes the family look terrible but they you realize that their grandmother was the one to make them believe that.

This is still one of the best songs Disney has ever produced in their films

The fact that Isabella is included in the song about how no one like Bruno's prophecies even though it sounds great for her on the outside is a great way to foreshadow how she truly felt about the engagement.

I love how Bruno is probably just chilling in the walls vibing to this. “They’re wrong about me in like all of these lyrics, but damn they do know how sing.”

the way the lyrics mash together at the end just fit in so perfectly.

0:57 omg Bruno is literally just sneaking around the house in the background during Dolores’ verse XD and the way he’s just vibing at the end THIS MAN IS SO PRECIOUS I LOVE HIM Also how did I not notice earlier XD

I still love how Bruno told Isabella that the life she always wanted would someday be hers, implying that she could escape her expectations and live freely to grow however she wished

This is absolutely hands down one of Disney's best songs in the recent past

I absolutely LOVE the layered meanings behind Isabella's line. "-the life of MY dreams would be promised and someday be mine" The fact that he told her this in the past and shes sang this in this song clearly tells us that she believed this prediction of Bruno's to have come true. As in, this life of hers where shes being married off to a man she doesn't love, being paraded around as the perfect golden child, ALL of the things she's now experiencing was ONCE a life she dreamt of having back when she was a young child (im just assuming before her gift manifested). This life USED to be something she dreamed about, and when Bruno told her she would have the life of her dreams, maybe at the time she was overjoyed, but now after experiencing all the pressure to be perfect and being held to such strict standards, Isabella truly hates how her life has turned out. Hence why she sings it in this song- a song about all the HORRIBLE predictions Bruno gave out. Its such a short line but it always resonates with me because of how much we learn simply from it. We learn that young isabella used to dream of having the 'perfect' life, and that eventually she got it but when she did she found that she hated it. We learn that despite how she presents, she is very unhappy with her current lifestyle (foreshadowing). And then later at the end of the movie when Isabella is finally able to life her life without the need to predent to be someone she isnt- "the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine" bruno's prediction still reigns true, but this time his prediction is seen in a positive light rather than the forboding negativity isabella viewed his words as before.

Everybody got a bad prophecy, but Isabela. Mirabel's face at 2:04 is priceless!

The way Felix smiles when he says "it was our wedding day" This man loves his wife so much. A treasure

i love how every character has their own sound, especially how dolores' verse sounds more "simplified" with significant bass sound and her whispery voice stands out from the music more than other characters, like we're experiencing her super-hearing gift.

Something about that “heeyyyyyy”fading in the background every once in a while just tickles my brain so GOOD

Two years have passed and everyone's still listening to this song. It has almost 600.000.000 views, more than enemy and bones. What a hit! Who are the 84K idiots that disliked it? :trophy-yellow-smiling:

I love Bruno jamming out in the background at the end of Dolores's scene. That feeling when your whole family is singing about how much of a jinx you are, but the song slaps too good.

I like all of the little hints in this song. “It’s like I hear him now.” And “He’s here.” Referring to Mariano, but also foreshadowing that Bruno’s still living in the house. And how Isabella looks sad and hesitant when she’s dancing around Mirabel, because she doesn’t want to marry Mariano.

3:16 "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!!"
