Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in Then I watch them roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay Cuz I've had nothing to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, listen Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home, now I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
Wish I could still find the actual live performance of this song (at the Fillmore).. But I'm glad to at least hear it. Very happy you have the audio of it.
Yeah, I've since realized that it was from a DVD.. That was almost a year ago and I've overplayed the song so much I can't listen to it again.. thanks though!
i'm so jealous... my mom and sister got to see her in concert. i didnt even know this was a cover until i looked it up on youtube! it is so natural for her. I love listening and singing her songs!! Shes incredible! You go girl!
Great voice and style. For purists who want something closer to Otis Redding's original, I found a terrific version by another Sara on Myspace Karaoke. Her name is Sarah Boo. Check her out.
Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, yes GET IT GIRLL
Sounds improvised but maybe you would figure it out by keeping count throughout the song. I would do it and tell you but I forgot how to keep tempo lol. It's been a while since I analyzed music like that.
A good show of vocal pyrotechnics, but little else to do justice to a classic. Listen to how Otis sang it, conveying the real feeling of wasting time and having nothing to live for, and with very little effort and vocal fanfare. The Pearl Jam singer may not have a great voice or pure refined ability like Sarah but he sure sang it better...
her cover of this song means she grew up listening to GOOD music! not justin "beaver" and disney artist crap! (personal opinion y'all) she has a fantastic voice and music styling!
Um, wonderful cover. HOWEVER, the repetition of the photos literal image with the lyrics made it seem that Sara B. was a waste of time and had no reason to live. Why would you post a video with docks in bays and then pics of her during such hurtful words. I would be flabergasted if I was you. Sara-Hater. Bow down.

Omg! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE her for this! Best cover in awhile!!!!!
It's such a pleasant cover. I can't even explain it in words. I love it so much!
I literally listen to this song every night! I love Sara's Voice!
yes, this is the version that brings tears to my eyes. i'll never forget that day..i literally shed a couple of tears when i first heard this .
Singing this song drunk for the last 10 years and then one night realize it’s been 10 years makes you think about your life in a whole new way.
this is the first time i have heard this rendition...AMAZING...beautiful sultry voice...i love this version...
Wow...what a great rendition. Sara keeps the spirit of Otis' original version but puts her own spin on it. She sounds great!
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I just love this freaking song❤❤❤❤❤
I had no idea this was even a thing. I love Sara Bareilles
Sara is absolutely amazing, her voice is so beautiful and refreshing.
This girl gives me chills. Man!
SHE HAS AN AMAZING VOICE...THIS SONG IS SOOOO SOULFUL...LOVE HER! 💖💖💖
This is my fave version from her cus of that one guy in the back that goes "get it!"

I am so impressed, she is awesome!
her voice gives me goosebumps

Love love her. She feels her music and i can hear that.
Wish I could still find the actual live performance of this song (at the Fillmore).. But I'm glad to at least hear it. Very happy you have the audio of it.
Isn't this it? I'm pretty sure this is the Fillmore version
Yeah, I've since realized that it was from a DVD.. That was almost a year ago and I've overplayed the song so much I can't listen to it again.. thanks though!
Che bella !! Miragveglioso, stupendo, un impressione per la vita !!.

I actually left my home in Georgia!!God bless y'alls heart
Incredible.
Ughhhhhh. She's so good. x_x;

I like this version, it is very bluesy. Sara is my role model, and this song is perfect for her.
Best song ever

Debriel Williams Yea

My school color guard did this song and got 3rd at world's

Ernest Cantu Victor Varsity Winter Guard
loneliness won't leave me alone
Christina Marie Bennett .
Singing this song in choir at my junior high.
this song really shows off how wide of a vocal range she had. very nice :)
i wish she had sang this when i went to see her in concert.
SO FUCKING MIND BLOWING.
@JRLZAGS03 you're :).
Thank you again.. This is the song of my life at the moment.
It's about 76 bpm, if you count how many beats are in 15 seconds worth then just multiply it by 4 :)
Get it girl!
Great voice and style. For purists who want something closer to Otis Redding's original, I found a terrific version by another Sara on Myspace Karaoke. Her name is Sarah Boo. Check her out.
OMFG!
It almost describes parts of fandoms "watching the ships" and then "watching the tide roll away"
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
GET IT GIRLL
respect the original but this one ,in my opinion, is so much better
rest in peace mah bro. CURSE ON YOU AIRCRAFT FOR KILLING MAH BRO!
slay TT U TT
Get to that ocean girl !
Damn, the white girl killing it...
Doing this for ballet dance!
Hey is that peridot from Steven universe
+Debriel Williams Yes I absolutely LOVE Steven Universe !!
+Connie Universe thats Awsome i love that show two😂 God bless u sister
Orlando visual brought me here
I watch all my music in HD
why they delete that acoustic version?
unusual key ,rarity, maybe F fits better( usually)❤
I love her music but the original version sounds better to me
where'd you get the pictures from? various sites or what? some of them are pretty nice quality and seem like they are "behind the scenes" style.
What happens to the actual Filmore video?
Nathan Nguyen you can buy the dvd. I’m not sure
@SlimzzCierraMist801 Why? The song is originally by Otis Redding. Sara Bareilles is just doing a cover of it. The lyrics would be the same.
gta 5 funny moments
Sounds improvised but maybe you would figure it out by keeping count throughout the song. I would do it and tell you but I forgot how to keep tempo lol. It's been a while since I analyzed music like that.
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there...
@samkidcool bcuz the music is different for the song between the 2 artists
Clapping wrecked it. What can you do
Best version of all is done by the great Otis Redding
This ones for Emily
Definitely didn't waste any time with listening to this marvelous makeover of the Otis Redding classic
Does anyone know where you can find sheet music for this?
Sophie Cunningham try musicnotes.com
does anyone know the tempo...?
Also doin dis 4 pagent (singing)
cybernova
Not cool which variation is it with the whistling part at the end
Where can I get the sheets music for this??? Anyone please
Try musicnotes.com
Just google it, I was just learning it via youtube tutorial, the sheet music can't be too hard to find
@Stephineshia More power and emotion behind this than a MERCYME song? Hardly. This song is awesome, but it's got nothing on Move.
i wish i could find the lyrics to song not by otis redding :/
@Stephineshia You're performing for the wrong reasons then.
@izayzay980 swear*
A good show of vocal pyrotechnics, but little else to do justice to a classic.
