I'd be honored if some Sara B fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal cover performance of her first hit LOVE SONG in tribute to one of the greatest albums of the '00s decade as well as to the release of Amidst the Chaos (Sara's FIFTH full-length album!). Live acoustic on my YT channel with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
[Verse 1: Sara Bareilles] When holding your breath is safer than breathing When letting go is braver than keeping When innocent words turn to lies And you can't hide by closing your eyes [Verse 2: John Legend] When pain is all that they offer Like the kiss from the lips of a monster You know the famine so well, but never met the feast When home is the belly of the beast [Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)] The ocean is wild and over your head And the boat beneath you is sinking Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight Surely someone will reach out a hand And show you a safe place to land [Verse 3: John Legend & Sara Bareilles (Both)] Oh, imagine yourself in a building Up in flames, being told to stand still The window's wide open, this leap is on faith You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will [Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Sara Bareilles)] The ocean is wild and over your head And the boat beneath you is sinking Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight Surely someone will reach out a hand And show you a safe place to land [Chorus 2: Sara Bareilles & John Legend] Be the hand of a hopeful stranger Little scared, but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up Be the hand of a hopeful stranger Little scared but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up Be the hand of a hopeful stranger Little scared but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up [Post-Chorus- Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)] 'Til the sun comes up (Oh) 'Til the sun comes up ('Til the sun) 'Til the sun comes up (Ooh) 'Til the sun ('Til the sun) Comes up
Given this world's current chaotic reality, any song dealing with our fears, and the individual contribution one can make, is a blessing. A wonderful composition by Sarah and contribution by John.
A truly magnificient song--- once you get it. It is so deep, I wasn't 1st time around until the last verse woke me. Beautiful song of inspiration. And what we each can rise to be for others.
When John sings the part about being in a burning building and being told to stay still, I can’t think of anything but 9/11 when those poor people were leaping to their deaths to escape a death of melting flesh and explosions. I watched that on live TV in my high school chemistry class. I have nightmares about that to this day. It hurt me so badly that, as a teenager, I would scream into my pillow and tense up all my muscles as if I just wished or prayed hard enough, I could turn back time and save those people from that awful fate. Even now as an adult I have to shake my head and have a pillow shout to try and stop myself from feeling what they felt. I hate how my brain makes me feel it (as if I could ever fathom how it really feels anyway). Ugh… so yea, can’t listen to this song ever again. Cheers.
I genuinely want this song to be released as a single, not only because it's the best song on the album, but more so because people need to listen to the message this song is trying to deliver.
This song makes me have a million feelings all at once....And very few things make me feel that way....I live for this kind of music. THANK YOU for giving strangers like me this song.
Brought me to tears. And to faith. And to the state of soul that nothing can compare. This is my prayer in my hard days. Full of hope. Seeing Christ walking on the water hearing these words.
thank you for never, ever, ever letting me down. saw you on MTV or VH1 or something on a TV from the morning remnant of a hotel party, fell in love. the first love i ever really had spent a summer with me and Kaleidoscope Heart. i was there (quiet, but there) when you did that live 'concert' in that room via Stageit. still can probs cry on command to Once Upon Another Time. and now theres this. i cant speak for anyone else but you have always been my #1. thank you for being you.
This album is one of the best i have heard in a very long time. I love every song on it. It's so heavily meaningful yet it's easy to listen to. Thank you !!
The only one that will reach out a hand to help is God...Trust yourself and God when there is no one you can count on......................Beautiful song Hope when you feel hopeless at times...I have become that hope for other people when my life \situation has not changed....
Sara Bareilles is in my list of highly gifted underrated artists/singers who deserved to be heard by the world.My favorite from her GRAVITY.And John Legend has a subtle and beautiful voice.MY favorite from him ALL OF ME.
always a soulful sara..! your music is not like a shallow waters.. thank you for sharing your music and heart with us.. It means so much!! I feel like i want to hug you beautiful soul!!!!!
🦋💜🙏 thank you that was so beautiful...your song was enough to get me off the floor and just sit with this pain I have been given from Grace. I know that Gods always had me in his arms and I am the one he chose to share the broken heart of every man including His own. Oh how God weeps
On her tour she told the audience this song was about the family separations happening at the border. It adds so much more depth and meaning to the song when you hold that in your heart and listen to the words. Lyrics: [Verse 1: Sara Bareilles] When holding your breath is safer than breathing When letting go is braver than keeping When innocent words turn to lies And you can't hide by closing your eyes [Verse 2: John Legend] When pain is all that they offer Like the kiss from the lips of a monster You know the famine so well, but never met the feast When home is the belly of the beast [Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)] The ocean is wild and over your head And the boat beneath you is sinking Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight Surely someone will reach out a hand And show you a safe place to land [Verse 3: John Legend & Sara Bareilles (Both)] Oh, imagine yourself in a building Up in flames, being told to stand still The window's wide open, this leap is on faith You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will [Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Sara Bareilles)] The ocean is wild and over your head And the boat beneath you is sinking Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight Surely someone will reach out a hand And show you a safe place to land [Chorus 2: Sara Bareilles & John Legend] Be the hand of a hopeful stranger Little scared, but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up Be the hand of a hopeful stranger Little scared but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up Be the hand of a hopeful stranger Little scared but you're strong enough Be the light in the dark of this danger 'Til the sun comes up [Post-Chorus- Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)] 'Til the sun comes up (Oh) 'Til the sun comes up ('Til the sun) 'Til the sun comes up (Ooh) 'Til the sun ('Til the sun) Lyrics source: genius.com/Sara-bareilles-a-safe-place-to-land-lyrics
Cyan Mcfarlane I didn’t know that, but when I listened to the song, I thought of the Syrian refugees in boats trying to get to the shores of Greece. When will we see ourselves as one big earth family? We’re in this together🌏
I knew, right in the moment that I decided to play this song, that the first thing I would heard from Sara Bareilles and John Legend together was a piano, and I was right! What a beautiful song, this album has some of Sara's best songs EVER. Im in love with Saint Honesty, and now with this!
I listen to your song and my heart breaks open. You've captured the pain and suffering felt in so much of the world today. 70 million displaced, mostly by violence, more than in any time we've ever measured in human history. "No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark..." wrote poet Warsan Shire. Your words and voice resonate with her poem but also evoke the compassion and the need for hope in a war-torn and chaotic world. Thank you.
Such a beautiful song with so much meaning. I work with refugees who have experienced terrible horrors. This song reminded me that I want to be that hand to reach out to them.
When holding your breath is safer than breathing when letting go is braver than keeping, when innocent words turn to lies and you can't hide by closing your mouth.... This little paragraph alone hits different when you know what each line is or has been like in your life... # we love you Sara, keep delivering the quality music we love♥️💞
This holds so close to me. I left my 6 year relationship because it became abusive because of his alcoholism. Sometimes love is not enough. He sent me a message for the first time in eight months saying he knows I began dating someone now. I am and finally moving on. No more insomnia from trauma. But I pray for him every day.
You do not have any idea how much it hurts to live in Mexico, I wish to see you On a Play theater or in a concert. T_T All my love and admiration for you Beautiful and talented woman, Your voice makes my day. Hugs from Mexico.
I GASPED. She has been putting out hits like nothing else

Shirley Kawafuchi Yeah
Agree, Not quite Like anybody else - Nobody else even Comes close to this Genuine Talent & Gorgeous Legacy #Timeless
[Verse 1: Sara Bareilles]
When holding your breath is safer than breathing
When letting go is braver than keeping
When innocent words turn to lies
And you can't hide by closing your eyes
[Verse 2: John Legend]
When pain is all that they offer
Like the kiss from the lips of a monster
You know the famine so well, but never met the feast
When home is the belly of the beast
[Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)]
The ocean is wild and over your head
And the boat beneath you is sinking
Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have
So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
Surely someone will reach out a hand
And show you a safe place to land
[Verse 3: John Legend & Sara Bareilles (Both)]
Oh, imagine yourself in a building
Up in flames, being told to stand still
The window's wide open, this leap is on faith
You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will
[Chorus 1: Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Sara Bareilles)]
The ocean is wild and over your head
And the boat beneath you is sinking
Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have
So say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
Surely someone will reach out a hand
And show you a safe place to land
[Chorus 2: Sara Bareilles & John Legend]
Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
Little scared, but you're strong enough
Be the light in the dark of this danger
'Til the sun comes up
Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
Little scared but you're strong enough
Be the light in the dark of this danger
'Til the sun comes up
Be the hand of a hopeful stranger
Little scared but you're strong enough
Be the light in the dark of this danger
'Til the sun comes up
[Post-Chorus- Sara Bareilles & John Legend (Both)]
'Til the sun comes up (Oh)
'Til the sun comes up ('Til the sun)
'Til the sun comes up (Ooh)
'Til the sun ('Til the sun)
Comes up
very thoughtful and kind. Thank you! :)
She has such a beautiful, hopeful, loving heart. We need more of it in this world.
Yup👌🏼💕
she is the angel who blessed our lives
Be the light in the dark of this danger up. 🙏
I can't believe I've first heard this song today. So beautiful.
My first listening 🎶 today. Thanks to a loving friend ❤️ 💕
Wow, John's voice and the harmonies. Pure mastery.
John Legend, singing with a legend.
Given this world's current chaotic reality, any song dealing with our fears, and the individual contribution one can make, is a blessing. A wonderful composition by Sarah and contribution by John.
Loving watching her music career grow and rise over all these years. It's been a complete honor and joy to bear witness to it and grow up on it.
Stunning songwriter and a beautiful rendition of two great voices
Jay Cohen agreed
This song was everything I have felt for years. It rips your heart out. So beautiful and raw.
A truly magnificient song--- once you get it.
It is so deep, I wasn't 1st time around until the last verse woke me.
Beautiful song of inspiration. And what we each can rise to be for others.

This holds so close to me. I left my 6 year relationship because it became abusive because of his alcoholism. Sometimes love is not enough. He sent me a message for the first time in eight months saying he knows I began dating someone now. I am and finally moving on. No more insomnia from trauma. But I pray for him every day.
The album cover is absolutely breathtaking, stunning
