    One of my favorite vocalists, she sounds better live than in a studio. Not a lot of current artists can claim the same.

    You can be amazing
    You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
    You can be the outcast
    Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
    Or you can start speaking up
    Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
    And they settle ‘neath your skin
    Kept on the inside and no sunlight
    Sometimes a shadow wins
    But I wonder what would happen if you
    Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    With what you want to say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I wanna see you be brave
    Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down
    By the enemy
    Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
    Bow down to the mighty
    Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
    Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
    Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
    Show me how big your brave is
    Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    With what you want to say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    Innocence, your history of silence
    Won’t do you any good
    Did you think it would?
    Let your words be anything but empty
    Why don’t you tell them the truth?
    Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    With what you want to say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I wanna see you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    See you be brave
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you
    I just wanna see you

    ... sometimes a person thinks that they alone have come up with a pretty thing to look at; a clay sculpture, a painting, perhaps an embroidered shawl, an epic saga of kings and their offspring, that stretches over many centuries, or maybe a poem, or a song; in which case, they'll seem to reach within themselves, down the labyrinthine recesses of their hearts, and when their lips part, they lift up their voices to the firmament, shaking the rafters, and the echoes fly out, each one a zephyr, that whispers of changing times, and just as the song had issued forth from the artist's mouth, it spread to nearly unfathomable proportions, flew over the waters and the earth alike, awakening minds which had seemed irreparable, it rushed ever onwards, setting frozen hearts ablaze, and blinded eyes alight with the efffulgence of the earth's beauty that surrounds us all, and they who'd accepted, with some resignation, that they were unloved and forgotten, that life is futile, all is vanity, yet all on a sudden, a bizarre sort of silent thunder pealed within them all, a storm broke upon the parched earth of their long shrivelled and bitter hearts, they trembled and wept for joy, because now they could touch the eternal, and they would fear nothing; that's what it's like, when God has decided that you're the best medium for His present purposes, and through the soul stirring voice of miss bareilles, He's doing precisely that! heartfelt commendations, Miss Bareilles, I humbly salute thee, please keep right on changing the world for the better, you're an absolute inspiration ! 😍😍😍

    Mad respect to Sara, but also... As someone who loves to belt this tune out, but doesn't always succeed at staying in tune on the tough parts, it's reassuring to know that last chorus is tough for even her to nail perfectly. And I love that she's willing to self-effacingly own the insecurities that come with reaching high, like the epilogue of her music video for Gonna Get Over You.
