She perfectly balanced the speed of the song with the powerfulness of the meaning of the words. She holds her mouth longwise and drops her jaw.

The music sung is effective in its support of her actions as she then takes a breath, puts her hand near her heart, and beautifully sings once more, “the hills fill my heart with the sound of music; my heart wants to sing every song it hears.” You can tell by the end of the piece that she means every word she
