Sara Bareilles - Little Voice (2006 Demo Version)

Audio of the demo version of Little Voice, recorded in 2006 or 2007.
Lyrics:
It's everything I am and what I'm not
And all I'm trying to be
This is the part where I spit it all out
and you decide what you think of me
I'm not trying to be complicated
I'm never waiting to get the last laugh
But I've been handing out benefits of the doubt
and I'd like a little bit back
It's just a little voice
and if you're listening
Sometimes a little voice
Can say the biggest thing
It's just my little voice I've been missing
Looking over the precious moments
It hurts don't it
They can cut both ways
No amount of remembering the better things will make the bad ones go away
But I've been broken and the one to blame
So my savior is self defense taught me to
sing what I can't say
It's just a little voice
and if you're listening
Sometimes a little voice
Can say the biggest thing
It's just my little voice I've been missing
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you words are not enough
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you noise is not enough
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you words are not enough
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you noise is not enough
It's the reason you whisper... you love her alone
We've been handed the mountaintops to scream from and we still don't
Scream from and we still don't
It's just a little voice
and if you're listening
Sometimes a little voice
Can say the biggest thing
It's just my little voice
And if you're listening
It's just my little voice
That I've been missing
It's just my little voice I've been missing
It's just my little voice I've been missing
It's just my little voice I've been missing

in my humble opinion, sara is one of the best songwriters ever

[@zaidzainuddin3744]

i'm a random human being on the planet, sitting in a room probably on a different continent than wherever you are. but i agree with you with the entirety of my small heart.

[@TylerSavesThePandas]

Cheers to that bro

[@clau4410]

This song is an absolute masterpiece. I’m so excited to finally get a studio version

[@MuffinMcFluffin]

The studio version that was released (which is beautiful, by the way) only has verse-chorus-verse-chorus and is 2:20 in length. Any chance we get a lengthier one like this one?

[@usagicassidy]

Man I was so bummed when this didn’t make it on her first album. I remember hearing this on MySpace in 2006 hahaha. It’s so good to hear this again, and so good that it found new life.

[@juleswissmann6471]

Yes, RIGHT?! Sounds a little like Javi on guitar, too. We sound old. lol So good. So so good. Funny how it has morphed just a little over time, some words gained, lost, modified and from guitar to piano along the way, and different tones brought to the table, the song having grown with Sara behind the scenes.

[@michalhrncirkorosik7694]

Now it’s on AppleTV! Still prefer hearing originals no matter what.

[@highroadtohell]

Wow, what a song.. Apple announcement brought me here.
Beautiful song :)

[@xBeyondMystery]

Didn't know of this song until I heard the official version, so sad the full version wasn't release! I still hope it will be released as a bonus track or something, along with all the songs of Little voice serie sung by Sara herself. I somehow miss the word 'that' in the "It's just my little voice THAT I've been missing" sentence but anyway, it's a shame the bridge was lost :(

[@ScottKaneshiro]

Thank you Apple and Sara for bringing this song backkkkk

[@pluralisticatheist]

Who is a master of sound editing and can get that white noise out of the background? :)

[@rth3]

Man, and I thought I was a hardcore fan, but I never knew about this song! Where did you get this copy? Was it performed live?

[@jof6619]

It is a song she wrote back in the beginning of her career but never released, and now it will be the theme song for her Apple TV show :)

[@guerrier_13]

Apple brought me here, too.

Gee, Vixen's Little Voice on their Live and Learn album is such a better song overall. Did you get the rights to use the title?
