Lyrics:
Once upon another time
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
Turned the key and took a drive
Was free
Highway curve, the sun sank low
Buckley on the radio
Cigarette was burning slow
So breathe
Just yellow lines and tire marks
And sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was to be
No enemies to call my own
No porch light on to pull me home
And where I was is beautiful
Because I was free
Once upon another time
Before I knew which life was mine
Before I left the child behind me
I saw myself in summer nights
And stars lit up like candle light
I make my wish but mostly I believed...
In yellow lines and tire marks
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was to be
Once upon another time
Decided nothing good in dying
So I would just keep on driving
Because I was free
Do you hear that? It's her voice accompanied by almost no background music whatsoever. The quality of her voice speaks for itself, this is a solid testament of what a true singing artist is.
This in my "calm song" When the world's too busy, I'm too stressed or my head's too loud. I close my eyes & listen to this. It brings me peace.
Maire Emily me too !! 😢😢😢
Me too.
Me too!
Sammme 🧡
This is not a calm song. It’s a calm storm
One of many underrated artists in the industry... Sara not only writes and sings beautifly but provides so much emotion with her voice that is almost impossible not to love her.
"no porchlight on to pull me home" ....KILLS ME
Dumb
Ben why.
For me, the essence of this song is in the line "Before I knew which life was mine." I can remember that feeling and that sense of freedom.
Wow! I have never heard anything like this before. Very soulful, ethereal. It felt as if this music was rising from the depths of the ocean, coming to take me home.
are you high? though i also like this song.
Yes, I am blazing like a solar flare. Thanks for asking.
PinprickSociety
lolz im also high IM HIGH ON LIFE SUCKAS lolz :P
This woman is so incredibly underrated as a songwriter, a vocalist and a performer.
I even love listening to her hum...
I would go so far as to say that her humming is one of my favourite parts, I've been lightly humming those few phrases for most of today and had to look it up to hear it again!!
In my opinion, that's the best part ...it brings back memories
That hum was enough for a Grammy.
I also..
I will never tire of her voice. I swear her music takes me to such a calm place.
Every time I listen to this song I feel like it needs to be played alongside images of war or destruction. Like in a movie where everything has just been lost. It gives me the feeling of tragedy and despair, reminiscing about 'another time' when everything was peaceful and beautiful.
jrocksmistress I feel like it'd do good in a post apocalyptic movie trailer or something
jrocksmistress This song really reminds me of a very famous folk song from my culture called The Evening Bells.
I hope you’re able to see the link and click on it, but this is my all time favorite version of this song. It has this same nostalgic feel. The images in the video are the aftermath of of battles throughout Russia during WWII. Here’s just the first verse of the song in English. It was inspired by Sir Thomas Moore’s poem.
Those evening bells! Those evening bells!
How many a tale their music tells,
Of youth, and home, and those sweet time,
When last I heard their soothing chime.

ever seen castle rock?...
yes that sounds perfect! it’s such a melancholic song
It was name Ollie the movie who put this song
once maybe twice in a lifetime do you hear a voice like this.hauntingly beautiful.
This is the slowest I've ever fallen in love with a song; but I was hanging onto every word. Love that this is a capella for most of it, the dynamics are perfect and the placement of the chorus is lovely. This is definitely my new favourite song!
i agree.
Also agree, took me time but now i hear the beuty in this song. She is really special, and so amazing.
:)
totally
Try going through all of her songs... they’re all my favorite 😂
Netflix serie Lost Ollie brought me here. Such a magical voice and beautiful lyric which fits perfectly an also beautiful and touching serie . I feel lucky for having find this masterpiece!
The voice! Its sooo.. out of the world melodious. I don't think anyone could have pulled that 2 minutes and 40 seconds of vocals without a single beat of music. And i love the way she held the whole song together!
Wow!...This is my first time hearing this song. Does anyone else think Sara is way underated??
cheryl eldridge she is both an incredible singer and song writer
1 MILLION PERCENT.
Oh she has a timeless sound. Cool think is... I think she is totally cool with herself and where she stands within the music industry ❤️
my camp counselor sang this every night to get all of us to sleep but no one went to sleep cause we wanted her to sing it
That must've been amazing. That's a perfect memory to associate with this nostalgic song.
I’ve cried so many tears to this song. This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. I get chills every time.
This is another one of those songs where I listen to it one sunny morning, and I close my eyes and meditate to the syllables and melody, not understanding a single word for I forget how the words are formed, and only the syllables exist in my ears, and I am put in a different world as my eyes are shut. And then the song ends, and I open my eyes, and the light in my room is changed from the dim rising sun through the window, and it now is aglow with a yellowy haze and the air itself is magic and it lifts into my lungs. And while I did not hear a word of the song and still its words are unbeknownst to me, I now see more than I did before without words.
❤❤❤❤❤
What a touching comment
Sara is a storyteller when she sings. I love her so much. She makes you feel like she is on your side when you are having a hard time in life.
That's how I felt when I listened to Orpheus.
Not every singer can pull off that much a capella or humming with such a perfect sound.
Three years ago my best friend committed suicide, we had these dreams when we were in high school that after we'd be done and graduated with college we would move to L.A. Whenever I hear this song, it brings me to those days when we were full of hope.
I'm so sorry.
This probably doesn't count for much, but I'm so sorry for your loss..hang in there
Anthony Pero i KNOW that loss. im SORRY for urs
Anthony Pero I'm so sorry 😔
I do believe that your friend are still there, beside you, listening this song with you. So, be strong :(
I need this to be played when I die.
same. i have decided that this should be my funeral song
@@mcborreo it's the perfect song.
why is she so.....*sigh* I can't even finish....too beautiful.....
You're comment is me. Exactly me.
Surreal? I have to get our the thesaurus.... Unreal... and BEAUTIFUL
@@susiefrades-white3088 precisely
Its not even 1 minute and I'm already in tears.
This song isn't even a song it's just something so majestic and pure and soulful I can't even exactly explain😭💜
Thats how I felt too. It pierced into depths of my soul. One word....(BLISS).
This might just be the best song I've ever heard
The song is pure poetry! I mean, it's just... stunning beautiful. And how many singers could be THIS compelling a cappella?!
mother of all that is holy i can't get rid of the goose bumps
This is pure art.
May god bless anyone who is listening to this song and needs help. I know what you are going through. I lost my dad a year ago when he was killed by his girlfriend and drugs. Good god please help us out in these difficult times.❤️🙏🏻
This song is powerful, touching and could move you to tears. I see this like a dream where you're walking through memories slowly feeling you could almost touch them all leading to this one last moment where you find true bliss and endlessness. It's beautiful! I have fallen in love with this song and am in awe. Amazing job Sara. So glad I discovered your music and found this one looking for more.
Or true death..
Z. Andrews ggtdueferreyeudyryrres😘😇😳😉🙃😏🐹
B Feyerer Agreed?
right?
Z. Anders depends on the day...lol
What a voice, Sara. No scooping, no affectation, just straight up power singing. It's a lost art among today's singers. I've always thought you had a wonderful voice since I first heard you on, of all things, One Tree Hill. I forgot to keep listening and am so glad I heard this song today for the first time. Brava!
Oh God, this is so beautiful my ears might burst into tears
This song is a masterpiece.
OMG JUST HEART WRENCHING!! brings me back to my childhood days...such a nostalgic feeling!!! I love uou Sara Bereilles!!!!! just freaking HEAVENLY!!!!
When I was younger (maybe 12-17) I would listen to this song as a lullaby to help me sleep. I've suffered from pretty bad depression and anxiety for most of my life due to childhood trauma, and this song has been an anchor in the storm for me. I used to sing it on repeat for hours.
I wish you are OK
It's not your fault
@@user-ft3qi5xp4n thank you ❤️
I love how at for the first 3 verses it is just her angelic voice, then a slow beat comes in and there are backing singers assisting her. it just makes this song so harrowing and pure brilliance
The backing singers are also Sara. George Michael did the same thing on They Won’t Go When I Go. Studio magic.
Music truly crosses every border. This song used to calm me down during the revolution in my hometown. I used to hum this rhym to every baby in the family I babysat for and the would sleep so quickly. This song reminds me of home so much. I cant go back home after we fled the war. All I have now is memories bound to music that can never me forgotten ❤
She sounds like a mom singing her baby to sleep 😍
Sara’s heartbreak inhabits every inch of this EP. 😓 Thank you Ben Folds for helping our dear, dear girl get back on track.
At 3:27 I was pretty much crying my face off. So incredibly beautiful. Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place with your music.
Singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, funny and I bet she can act too. She is a gift.
This song is simply beautiful. There's something about it that just makes you pause and truly listen.
This is probably one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard. Tragedy, relief, loss, self....Ugh this is speaking to my soul. Ive missed real music so much.
I am the kind of person that don’t say much. Live my life day by day, and not surprised on too much in this world these days. BUT!! This song cough my attention. Very surreal, calming and takes you back in the past -to that place where you were the most tranquil. I would love to see a video made to this song. GOOD JOB SARA!!
Is it even POSSIBLE to make a video to this????
I can't believe I didn't know this song! It's precious, THANK you Sara.
How is this song not in a movie!? Haunting opening to a sci-fi, gut wrenching reveal in a suspenseful drama, so much potential.
Well it's on lost ollie
Watch lost ollie,he have this song
I played this song so much while I was pregnant, now my baby falls asleep to it while I hum along with it... so beautiful. Thank you Sara Bareilles 🥰🥰
i love the fact that there are many beautiful songs which are not popular, but people still know them, and listen to them! this is one of these!
I cried.. i cried and I cried so much this song breaks my heart
This has become my favorite song. Sarah Bareilles is truly just a wonder.
So glad to know there are other people out there that believe Sara Bareilles deserves so much more...and are in love with her music as much as I am =)
I was literally moved to tears by this song.
Sara's talent is so rare... I really respect her for keeping her style. :)
This song makes me stop doing anything and just lay back to listen to the details.
wow. unlike anything I've ever heard. simply stripped down and stunning. thank you, Sara
She is a master of the stripped down, the authentic. I would travel far to see her in concert, but she isn't on tour this year. Sigh.
Is the stripped down a musical technique?
When she started singing tears rolled down my cheeks. She has so much power in her voice.
This sounds like a sort of anthem, so lovely.
It kinda sounds like autumn leaves. it feels like the melody wants to revolve around a circle of fourth chord progression.
Klaod Nell both songs I love very much.
I almost feel there’s a classic Disney element in the song. Something very Cinderella-ish or Sleeping Beauty (with the humming for the most part).

Perfect song for the Netflix Ollie thank you.
We're playing this song for the ballad in our marching band show, and it is beautiful.
I am so addicted to this song, it's ridiculous how many times I've replayed and belted this song.
This song makes me melt into a pool of calmness. I love it.
I hate choosing favourites because they change but I think it's safe to say this my favourite Sara Bareilles song. The EP is so stunning, raw and mature.
It's bizarre that people find this soothing, this is, for all intents and purposes, a requiem, a bittersweet recollection of a past that is no more; it's just that, as the tragedy of coming to terms with the loss of our own past self unfolds, there isn't even a point in dying, so - according to the lyrics - we keep going until the caducity of life, inevitably, catches up to us.
But when you are old enough, a requiem can be relaxing. The song is VERY sad, but when you get to the point you where you look back, and ponder, and know there probably aren't many major decisions left to make, just play the cards you have
If I died tomorrow, I'd want this to be played at my funeral. It's a lovely song.
Heard this for the first time because of Lost Ollie, beautiful 💗
I cry anytime I listen to this song. My emotion is still the same as the first time I known this song in my 20th. Now I’m in my 30th.
Same
I cried when this song played in "Lost Ollie". Highly recommend if you didn't watch
thanks a lot, I will@@gandalfczarny2289
Oh Sara Bareilles, why aren't you constantly at the top of the music charts? You have the ability to see what's in other's hearts and and give it words. Masterful song writer.
Actually Sara's song writing skills are incredible. Her songs are beautifully touching while still maintaining a sense of being human. You obviously haven't tried to listen to what she's actually saying here. "Once upon another time, before I knew which life was mine, before I left the child behind be. I saw myself in summer nights and stars lit up like candle light. I made my wish but mostly I believed." That's so eloquently written without having tried too hard. This song is beautiful.
Damn.... Listening to this song. It feels like she took me to another world
It may sound weird, but I literally forget to breath at moments during this song. It happens everytime I listen to it. It is amazing.
I hate how people sleep on this and forgot about Sara😩♥️
it's like angels singing...
This song helps so much I've listened to it so many times recently I lost my house to hurricane Harvey we have nothing to go back to and then I knew I have the voice of an angel to listen to crying is about the only thing I can do for now I love you thanks for the song it really helps
I know this happened almost a year ago but I’m so sorry you had to go through that!! I can’t imagine what losing your home must’ve felt like 😢 Hope you’re safe and sound now!
Played this to my niece, she fell asleep within minutes. Shows how beautiful and soothing this song is
this isn't music, this is something else....
This song has saved my life more times than I can count but I fear even Sara won’t be enough one day 😢
this is breathtaking
That poignant scene in castle rock combined with Shazam lead me to this hauntingly heartbreaking beautiful song. ❤️
This song sounds beautiful with rainy moods in the background.
She definitely underrated. But I am glad that she hasn't sold her soul the the MACHINE of hollywood. She's beautiful.
If I die young, this is the song I want a choir to sing at my funeral. So beautiful, this song is incredible.
I need this on vinyl.
If I could sing like this, I probably would never stop...I try now, but it's not too pleasant :).
Boris true
I wonder...Does she sing in the shower just to hear herself :)))
This is pure art
Beautiful
I now imagine running through a field of tall wheat on a clear day the sun shining brightly and in the middle of the field is a tree and there's no building around just the field and I'm so stress and problem free a better world shows how this song is so beautifully layered.🌾🌾🌾
When I put my daughter to bed I have to endure some annoying films until one night we watched list Ollie ..I was hooked then in the final episode this song came on it blew me away so sad ..amazing song x
Ladies & Gentlemen,
She's done it again!
Love you SO much, Sara.
This is possibly the most beautiful, yet most sad thing someone's every described for a song...
Once upon another time
Somebody’s hands who felt like mine
Turned the key and took a drive
Was free
I recall the sun sank low
Buckley on the radio
Cigarette was burning slow
So breathe
Just yellow lines and tire marks
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was
To be
No enemies to call my own
No porch light on to pull me home
And where I was is beautiful
Because I was free
Once upon another time
Before I knew which life was mine
Before I left the child behind
Be
I saw myself in summer nights
And stars lit up like candle lights
I made my wish but mostly I
Believed
And yellow lines and tire marks
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was
To be
Once upon another time
Deciding nothing good in dying
So I would just keep on driving
Because I was free
Sonya Anderson thank you
thank you SOOOO much the song is so beautiful but she dragged out each word so long it grew hard to focus on the meaning of what she was saying sometimes. this was really helpful :))
Sonya Anderson thank you
Thank you for posting the lyrics.
You really made a difference. Thanks.
I brought myself here tonight, I'm glad I did... Sara, you heal my wounded soul.
This song is beautiful. And I'm glad she knows that her voice is so amazing that she doesn't even need any music.
Thank you 'Castle Rock' ❤️
Beautiful Lullaby, I'm Going to Listen to it on Christmas Eve, While I'm going to Sleep.
I don't know what I would do without this song. It is so relaxing. I can go from stressed to happy in a second after listening to it.
I love the fact that you can hear the quiet popping of a candle burning in the beginning..
THIS MAN SPEAKS GREAT WISDOM!
[hugs everybody]
Hauntingly beautiful
I love the candle thing. It makes an already beautiful song impossibly more meaningful.
STUNNING!!! I just put it on repeat and I never do that!! the simplicity and the lullaby quality of this song is ASTOUNDING!
