you know what part of stand tall that makes me want to cry in a good way every time i hear it????
the second verse where julie sings “hands down can’t let myself forget it no, cause everything is rushing in fast, keep holding on never look back” in the higher part
AH like you just feel the mix of emotions julie’s going through bc this song is something she wrote with her mom and she thinks she’s lost the boys forever and there’s a sense of pain in that line when she sings it. like, i really miss her and i’m going to miss them too, but ultimately its supposed to be an happy and inspiering line and you still feel that. there’s also a sense of like, i’m going to keep on pushing though bc this is somehting that i love with my entire being and the boys helped me get here and i know she’s proud of me
and just how madi sings it??? like how my gosh she puts so much emotion into the whole song but there’s something about how the notes are different than the first verse that makes me lose it every time
