I’m here after suddenly remembering that I unconciously cried when she performed this, I was there and was able to watch her live. That was also the first time I heard this song and all I had was mixed emotions that all I could do was cry. Lea did so well ❤
I saw her perform last night. Had never heard this song before, but it was absolutely beautiful. I was prepared to tear up when she got to On My Own and Reflection, but she got me quite a few more times, with this, Movie in my Mind, and Edelweiss, at the very least.
I've been addicted to this song since the first time I heard it this week. I've watched dozens of covers. But only Sarah and the kid from Got Talent gave me the emotions of the song and made me cry. Then I heard this now. Just the first word and I'm already crying! MS. LEA SALONGA is really one of a kind. The best cover the song for me ❤
This is my favorite song ever I met Sasha Colby and made her cry singing this song when she came to my city's gay bar for karaoke night. But Lea Salonga who was the voice of both Pocahontas and Mulan literally brought tears to my eyes listening to her sing it
@@bonahunt4563 that is nice! I can't listen to some cover at times because lyrical words is not very clear or could be very very assimilated that there is no distinction. I have not seen Morisette's cover yet.
It's not simple to say Most days I don't recognize me These shoes and this apron That place and its patrons Have taken more than I gave 'em It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be Although it's true I was never attention sweet center I still remember that girl She's imperfect but she tries She is good but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up And baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine It's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person And makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you And you're not what I asked for If I'm honest I know I would give it all back For a chance to start over And rewrite an ending or two For the girl that I knew Who be reckless just enough Who can hurt but Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised And gets used by a man who can't love And then she'll get stuck and be scared Of the life that's inside her Growing stronger each day 'Til it finally reminds her To fight just a little To bring back the fire in her eyes That's been gone but it used to be mine Used to be mine She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine
For me, this is the best cover of this song. Aside that I really like the dynamics, I was able to watch and listen live when she sang this. I was wondering if the organizer/director has a video of her singing this song. #songsfromthestage
splendid version by Lea as always. Correct me if I'm wrong though but the arrangement was changed in the second half? It seems like it was slower than the original broadway and kudos to Lea for still being able to convey the same emotions. I wonder if she'll be able to do the broadway version with flowing emotions. That would be a treat!
In terms of clarity, Lea's voice is wonderful. But this is one of those songs that's perfect for Regine's voice, in her younger years. Her duet with Morisette of this song still gives you the feels.
If you want check out speeding up the tempo to 1.25 No change in quality or sound that I noticed. I saw the suggestion on another copy of the song but the quality is not as good as this one. It also cuts off the end.
