I am moved by this song. I first heard it during a performance on SYTYCD. Ever since then I have listened to it regularly and it has such a heavy and genuine emotional quality. I think we have all been in a relationship where we lost ourselves at least a little in order to stay with someone we loved. She is actually singing about someone who was involved in domestic abuse. I think the words show her struggle working through someone who is controlling her physically and verbally. Rachel’s class is my favorite but I must say that this piece was one of my favorites from her class. She combined moments of passively going through the motions like a zombie with intense outbursts. The intensity of the outbursts are the moments when she realizes that she is prisoner and wants desperately to break free. Here is a video of the piece from class. I hope you guys enjoy watching it even a tenth of as much as I enjoyed dancing it.
