from Coco’s deleted scene “The bus escape”

Miguel is shocked. He looks at his true great-great-grandpa, and yes, the cheekbones and the chin are familiar. They remind him of… of Mama Coco!

…

Hector gently touches Miguel’s cheek, as if to confirm that the boy is real, and then touches the image of baby Coco. “I always hoped I’d see her again,” he says with a saddened voice. “That she’d miss me… maybe put up my photo. But it never happened.”

(I just bought this book and read it in one night and I have lots of feels)

so uh to be a songwriter, not just a musician, one has to have: an intelligent mind, a broad command of the language, a complete understanding of musical notation, a keen musical ear, a stable sense of rhythm, & even a passing skill at mathematics. just a reminder that héctor & miguek are 2 smart boys who have such mental discipline & focus
