it's not just a beautiful note- the fact that she literally soars on the word "down" is such an interesting choice to make. This is a great song, and she's an amazing performer...
My wife had left me after 24 years. She was living across town. She'd been gone for three years and no matter what I did or said, she showed no interest in coming home. In desperation, I sent her this song. She's been home for almost two years now and we are doing just fine. I owe ya one, Sara.
wow. this must be the 10 different version I have watched. this one is really really good. she is the best female song writer of her generation without a doubt.
This song hit it dead on when I was trying to get out of a bad relationship with a narcissist. So glad to be hearing it again, 2 years later, free and standing strong,...just the way I’m supposed to be. Thank you Sara for your beautiful voice singing this beautiful song. 💜🙏
I love so much that she sounds just as great live as she does on the cd. I'm so tired of good looking artists with no talent. We need more people like Sara Bareilles in the music industry.
Her voice is incredible. The color in her falsetto is soo gorgeous, particularly @ 1:53. Just the freedom of voice is so moving. And her intonation is spot on. She is so talented, from her singing, to her voice, to her piano playing and her songwriting.
for me this song is about a soul mate, someone who know, someone familiar and no matter where you go you feel them. they will always have a pull on you. you’re in their gravitational pull and you feel amazing in it.
it sucks when you know exactly how she feels, not just from the lyrics, but also from the sound of her voice like the the emotion she puts into each note, incredible
She is so talented I wish more music artists were as passionate about their music as her, all they want is the cash whereas she truly loves what she's doing
Still listening in May 2018. This song captures heartbreak in such a real way. This song really pulls at the heart stings and her vocal ability is just insanely good.
Sara Bareilles is a name that should go down in history as a musical legend. How lucky we all are that we get to enjoy her music. She's not as well known as the current popular artists and bands whose songs completely border on annoying. Isn't it nearly impossible to find a reason to dislike her? Cleverly written lyrics, soothing piano melodies, and a perfect voice to boot... Sara Bareilles, thank you for coming into our lives. =')
This isn't a simple song about unrequited love. Please listen to the lyrics more closely. It's about emotional abuse: "You loved me cause I'm fragile... Set me free, leave me be... You're keeping me down."
It's also about love and death. One can still have an affect on you even when they are no longer present. Keeping us grounded but also us wanting to let go.
Absolutely beautiful. It's been a while since I've heard a perfect song like this. It was sung with such gentleness, yet it was so powerful. She added softness and strength at the right times. Simply PERFECT.
one beautiful song..one beautiful voice...one amazing performance...she manages to feel and show every single beautiful lyric of this song. i just love her. the first time i saw this i cried..it still gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it! great song...great feelings.
Honest to god, she could be one of the most incredible artists in the last 20 years. This song is raw, unbridled passion. The high notes she hits had me on the verge of hyperventilation. Every hair on my body was on end for the entirety of the song. She is a pure representation of what real music is. I find it damn near impossible to keep my cursor of the repeat button. I cant get enough.
This song is magical, performed superbly by Sarah and I have heard that it is going to be released as her next single. If this doesn't win a grammy then I don't know what will. She is a naturally gifted singer/songwriter who deserves so much recognition. She has a beautiful, pure voice. It is breathtaking.
I've only just now stumbled onto this amazing writer's equally amazing pipes! I've been a serious singer all my life and a professional all my adult life, and she'd slipped through until now, but no more. I am so glad to have found out that this woman's talents exists! Sara,you really made my day!
No matter what I say or do, i still feel you here till the moment i'm gone. You hold me without touch, you keep me without chains. I've never wanted anything so much, but to drown in your love and not feel your rain... She's by far one of the most talented and underrated artist!
her voice is so beautiful. she has that natural talent. she just sings, like it's not hard at all, its SO easy for her. it just happens, thats truly a gift from God. i would LOVE to see her live.
Sara B is an artist of deep sincerity and taste. Those tv talent shows present technical wow factor in singing but never speak directly to the heart like this.
It's good to know that we are on the same side, because I love this song and I do think that anyone who can't hear this and not feel its depth MUST be dead. I love every version of this song I hear and I am moved each time Ihear it. Glad to know you hear it too!
I love that we all agree.This girl can sing. Almost as real as if she was a part of me. Once upon a time I knew this memory. so sweet and evocative of her personal way of life. She shares the deepest depths of thee. was that a flat note ...hardly a possibility.... come back
Some how this beautiful lady with a velvet voice had escaped me until the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show. I've gotten so use to voices from American idol etc., I'd forgotten how incredible a GREAT voice can really be. God bless you dear lady and thank you God for letting me hear and see her.
one of the best version of gravity. i can't get enough of this song. my favourite out of all her songs in her albums. can't wait to see her perform live in singapore in may!! :)
i could say this song is amazing..but that wouldnt describe what it does...to the listener. Sarah is an artist who knows how to make people feel...something.... this piece makes you listen...it makes you want to listen...and then it has you
i am so upset that she is not bigger than she is!!! She has such great talent that we are lacking in muic today. Her voice is beautiful and pure, ecspecially when it's just her and the piano, i get goosebumos just thinking about it. I love this song as much as I love Sara and the artist she truly is.
She sounds SO much better singing live than in studio recordings. Raw talent doesn't need such production like that. I think she's safely on the same shelf as Alison Krauss as far as voices go.
this song has been the story of my life the past 5 years. its crazy how she was able to sum up everything i've ever wanted to say about my first love into one beautiful song.
Top 5 most beautiful songs I've ever heard and a clear example of how beauty extends way beyond physical appearance. She's an attractive woman, which is a plus, but I fall for her just hearing that amazing voice and touching lyrics.
I have listened to this song everyday for the past couple of weeks and it still gives me chills and a little tear when I sing it with her. Thank goodness I work from home!
The first time I heard this song, I wanted to cry because it was so damn beautiful. It's years later and I still want to cry when I hear this song. Definitely one of the most romantic songs ever sung!
there is not a song in this world that describes the situation of loving someone who will never love you back better than this song
Landon Turner Amen so true
sardickie 33 and to think she was 17 when she wrote it.
or an ending you saw or didn't see coming.
jslacson GRAVITY >>>>>>>>>>>
Listen to Teeth by The Japanese House
I'm a 54 year old man and I'm in tears. Thank you Sara.
It's a tradition to go back to this video once in a while...
Yes
same
16 years ago and I'm still coming back to this in 2024. One of my favorite songs of all times.
it's not just a beautiful note- the fact that she literally soars on the word "down" is such an interesting choice to make. This is a great song, and she's an amazing performer...
My wife had left me after 24 years. She was living across town. She'd been gone for three years and no matter what I did or said, she showed no interest in coming home. In desperation, I sent her this song. She's been home for almost two years now and we are doing just fine. I owe ya one, Sara.
OMG that's awful! I hope you are well now that you're back together.
My heart 😢
The power of music therapy. 🎉
Omg this is so sad but also so romantic. My heart hurts and also smiles
❤
I love that she can sound better live than on tape. She is so incredible.
there is a scene in the movie loving annabelle with this song and it makes me cry EVERY time. seriously beautiful
The song that proves she is one of the best vocalists of all time, and one of the best live performances of all time... In my humble opinion.
wow. this must be the 10 different version I have watched. this one is really really good. she is the best female song writer of her generation without a doubt.
I'm totally with you! :)
Gamer Latina I'll take Sara and Alicia Keys over any other artist out there. Those two are the epitome are artistry.
no doubt she is...
agreed!
Taylor swift exists
It's tragic that this flawless performance has only a fraction of the views of all the lesser covers of this song.
The tragic irony that loving someone can keep a person so down... And yet there is something so beautiful in that feeling.
True
This girl is the real deal.
Don't have enough thumbs to put up for this comment...
yeah
This is the best written love song ever, those words are DEEP.
This song hit it dead on when I was trying to get out of a bad relationship with a narcissist. So glad to be hearing it again, 2 years later, free and standing strong,...just the way I’m supposed to be. Thank you Sara for your beautiful voice singing this beautiful song. 💜🙏
I love so much that she sounds just as great live as she does on the cd. I'm so tired of good looking artists with no talent. We need more people like Sara Bareilles in the music industry.
Yes ! totally agree !
I know this feeling. Scared to stay and terrified to leave. Hurts to admit it even.
Stacey Poteet it’s okay, hope it gets better soon
A romantic thing or death?
@@leif1075 a romantic thing. Took me a long time to get free from.
@@Uwishi2 be glad it's not death..at least you can still talk and fix things or whatever..
@@leif1075 Glad you're not a psychiatrist! Stupid opinion.
Her voice is incredible. The color in her falsetto is soo gorgeous, particularly @ 1:53. Just the freedom of voice is so moving. And her intonation is spot on. She is so talented, from her singing, to her voice, to her piano playing and her songwriting.
oh my goodness she can sing :) finally a star who can actually sing
for me this song is about a soul mate, someone who know, someone familiar and no matter where you go you feel them. they will always have a pull on you. you’re in their gravitational pull and you feel amazing in it.
This song is so beautiful it hurts.
This song it´s so pure.
And she is jsut so pretty singing.
That piano...
This live performance before all microphones had auto tune and it's still so raw and beautiful. She has such an incredible voice. 💗
The gravity that compliments Gravity. So pure and so true.
When sings to you, it's like she's singing only to you and she means every single word... each word touching straight to your heart.
it sucks when you know exactly how she feels, not just from the lyrics, but also from the sound of her voice like the the emotion she puts into each note, incredible
i love her voice and her interpretation... the way she sings this song is what makes it so special!
I COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO THIS SONG !! SHE'S BEAUTIFUL AND VOICE IS INCREDIBLE !!! OMG!! SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY ARM!! :*(
so well said, I feel the same way
You know someone is an amazing live performer when you can love the live version of a song like this even better than the recorded one.
She is so talented I wish more music artists were as passionate about their music as her, all they want is the cash whereas she truly loves what she's doing
Totally agree! She doesn't try to create all this drama to be famous. She just loves music and it's how she expresses herself.
Still listening in May 2018. This song captures heartbreak in such a real way. This song really pulls at the heart stings and her vocal ability is just insanely good.
She is beautiful in every way. Now this is pure talent.
She is an incredible singer, musician and writer. What a talent!
every now and then a song comes along that has the ability to pierce you all the way to your soul. this is one of those songs.
Sara Bareilles is a name that should go down in history as a musical legend. How lucky we all are that we get to enjoy her music.

This isn't a simple song about unrequited love. Please listen to the lyrics more closely. It's about emotional abuse: "You loved me cause I'm fragile... Set me free, leave me be... You're keeping me down."
It's about addiction
Unrequited love can be a form of addiction and emotional abuse to one self. Its happened to me.
Emma Dilemma i feel your right
It's also about love and death. One can still have an affect on you even when they are no longer present. Keeping us grounded but also us wanting to let go.
Or how about it can be what ever it means to you that’s what music is
The best version, needs no embellishment. Her voice is evocative.
One word amazing. She has that voice that get you into her world and she can sing. LIke this song.
Absolutely beautiful. It's been a while since I've heard a perfect song like this. It was sung with such gentleness, yet it was so powerful. She added softness and strength at the right times. Simply PERFECT.
one beautiful song..one beautiful voice...one amazing performance...she manages to feel and show every single beautiful lyric of this song. i just love her. the first time i saw this i cried..it still gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it! great song...great feelings.
Her voice is absolutely beautiful. Aside from that, she perfectly captures the pain I feel in my heart right now.
I was crying because the song is so beautiful and the singer is like an angel. Sarah 😇
Sara is an absolute Angel. Another breath taking performance. She hits me right in the heart every single time.
LIVE and REAL no pre-recording. Amazing
Honest to god, she could be one of the most incredible artists in the last 20 years. This song is raw, unbridled passion. The high notes she hits had me on the verge of hyperventilation. Every hair on my body was on end for the entirety of the song. She is a pure representation of what real music is. I find it damn near impossible to keep my cursor of the repeat button. I cant get enough.
Her voice is so good, it’s like magic. Incredible song, one of her best!
this performance is a masterpiece
I dunno but everytime I sing this... I end up crying... Beautiful voice. Beautiful lyrics. Beautiful melody. Beautiful soul.
She's amazing. True artist. Sings, plays piano, guitar, and writes her own material...rare and...amazing.
look how easy it is for her! sara b is so amazing.
sara always touches my heart..she always makes me happy or sad but never in the bad way
This song is magical, performed superbly by Sarah and I have heard that it is going to be released as her next single. If this doesn't win a grammy then I don't know what will.

oh my god, that was painfully beautiful. It's like she read my mind and made a beautiful song out of it
Chills evertime I hear it. So raw and so real...the depths of love....
its so nice and refreshing to see and hear someone with so much REAL talent..her voice is beautiful and angelic
I can't believe I have never heard this song until now... I am baffled... She poured her whole heart out in this song....
No matter what I say or do, i still feel you here till the moment i'm gone.
You hold me without touch, you keep me without chains.
I've never wanted anything so much, but to drown in your love and not feel your rain...
She's by far one of the most talented and underrated artist!
She is just magnificent.
Love Sara she is an incredible performer. She has the emotion that brings you into the song and you can feel the hurt.
One of so many of Sara's best! Magnificent!
seriously why cant real music with real talent such as this get 1 billion views?? i think this is well deserved of hell at least a million.
her voice is so beautiful.
she has that natural talent.
she just sings, like it's not hard at all,
its SO easy for her.
it just happens, thats truly a gift from God.
i would LOVE to see her live.
Sara B is an artist of deep sincerity and taste. Those tv talent shows present technical wow factor in singing but never speak directly to the heart like this.
It's good to know that we are on the same side, because I love this song and I do think that anyone who can't hear this and not feel its depth MUST be dead. I love every version of this song I hear and I am moved each time Ihear it. Glad to know you hear it too!
this is my favourite video on UA-cam
WOW!!! I saw her last night at BU in Boston and she is so funny and as beautiful inside and out as her voice is!!! My goodness what a voice
I love that we all agree.This girl can sing. Almost as real as if she was a part of me. Once upon a time I knew this memory. so sweet and evocative of her personal way of life. She shares the deepest depths of thee. was that a flat note ...hardly a possibility.... come back
ulric rainard Agree
One of my favorite songs and by far the best rendition of this song. The emotions are laid raw and bare. Absolute perfection.
Some how this beautiful lady with a velvet voice had escaped me until the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show. I've gotten so use to voices from American idol etc., I'd forgotten how incredible a GREAT voice can really be. God bless you dear lady and thank you God for letting me hear and see her.
This song was one of those, love at first listen. And it still brings a tear to my eye ...
This song and her voice, it's perfection. I felt every note.
she has such a beautiful voice, so talented. i love her.
Had to get my daily dose of Sara. She is brilliant!!!
one of the best version of gravity. i can't get enough of this song. my favourite out of all her songs in her albums.
can't wait to see her perform live in singapore in may!! :)
Way to make me cry. That was expressed with your whole heart and soul. Well done.
FROSTY Life llll
something always brings me back to you... Sara and all her songs....
Pure talent. Not many artists now a days sound exactly the same live as they do on their cd's. Amazing. Love her!
i could say this song is amazing..but that wouldnt describe what it does...to the listener. Sarah is an artist who knows how to make people feel...something.... this piece makes you listen...it makes you want to listen...and then it has you
One of my favorite Sara Bareilles songs! She is a stunning singer and songwriter!
We don't have enough real talent like this, Sara you are amazing!!!
i LOVE her voice - wow -
i am so upset that she is not bigger than she is!!! She has such great talent that we are lacking in muic today. Her voice is beautiful and pure, ecspecially when it's just her and the piano, i get goosebumos just thinking about it. I love this song as much as I love Sara and the artist she truly is.
She sounds SO much better singing live than in studio recordings. Raw talent doesn't need such production like that. I think she's safely on the same shelf as Alison Krauss as far as voices go.
I can't say how perfectly describes what I feel sometimes. She really knows how to capture feelings in a simple way.
This is what I call a live perf. Not just performance - it's live perfection.
One of my most favorite songs of all time. It's crazy how just one song can give you such strong feelings.
this song has been the story of my life the past 5 years.
its crazy how she was able to sum up everything i've ever wanted to say about my first love into one beautiful song.
Love Sara she is pure unadulterated talent with a voice no one else can touch in a same way.
Love you Sara.
I will never get tired listening to this master piece.
how can anyone even dislike this? she can sing and it truly sounds like her studio version.
people are so tactless sometimes
one of her best songs and one of my favourite songs. she's an awesome live singer.
SARA, PLEASE COME BACK TO SINGAPORE!!
Hauntingly, achingly beautiful. You can feel it in her words and words.
Top 5 most beautiful songs I've ever heard and a clear example of how beauty extends way beyond physical appearance. She's an attractive woman, which is a plus, but I fall for her just hearing that amazing voice and touching lyrics.
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Thank you SYTYCD for introducing it. Kayla and Kupono...YOU ROCK..!
I have listened to this song everyday for the past couple of weeks and it still gives me chills and a little tear when I sing it with her. Thank goodness I work from home!
I remember seeing this live in Amsterdam and I CRIED SO HARD!!!!! ugh
The first time I heard this song, I wanted to cry because it was so damn beautiful. It's years later and I still want to cry when I hear this song. Definitely one of the most romantic songs ever sung!
Very impressive songwriter. Wonderful voice. They only come along once in awhile. She's a shooting star.
Probably the 30th time I've heard this song, and I still cry. She's so talented. So real.
