"Sara is the only musician I have ever found with the ability to write a six-minute song that's too short."
I can't disagree more. My teacher told me to watch and learn it and I still haven't finished listening to the song because it is so long
I agree. Her songs reach the soul.
@@sojohko-oz1iw My that is a short attention span. Many songs and other pieces of music are far longer and actually do feel longer, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Good luck with your practicing though!
I disagree 1,000%. Never heard a symphony? Or a movie soundtrack? Or epic 20min rock songs from the 70s?
Come on, there's Porcupine Tree
I used to play this song during night shift in Atlanta. There was an abandoned floor that gave me a perfect view of the city. This song gave me needed peace.
"But I'm going to love you
You never have to ask"
this is the most beautiful song ever...cant stop listening to her a cappella version of this song.
the way she pronounces her words and sings with such emotion, it's so beautiful
From an Q&A interview with Sara: "There’s one song, “Bright Lights and Cityscapes,” that was a very emotional performance. When I listen back to that vocal take, I don’t hear my best singing and I get self-conscious about that. But Ben was adamant about getting a take that had a lot of emotion, and he was right: I was sitting in the piano room crying while singing, and he’s the one who made me keep that on the record."
Wow this makes this listening experience even more enjoyable. I love this! thanks for sharing!!!!
I have cried listening to this song. I have felt it.
I cannot imagine another version of this song. Ben was right on this one, Sara.
I see why it makes me cry now
Ben is the real MVP
a voice like a poetry and daffodils
yep, precise
Hold my breath and I'll count to ten
I'm the paper and you're the pen
You fill me in and you are permanent
And you'll leave me to dry
I'm the writer and she's the muse
And the one that you always choose
She will falter and gift her blame
And it's starts all over again
Again again again
She is bright lights and cityscapes
I'm white lies that care for gates
And she'll take all you ever have
But I'm gonna love you
You say maybe it'll last this time
But I'm gonna love you
You never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Til you start looking back
I'm gonna love you
So right
I wouldn't need a second chance
Shield your eyes from the truth at hand
Tell me why it'll be good again
All those demons are closing in
And I don't want you to burn
Never mind what I said before
I don't want any less anymore
You are carbon and I am flame
I will rise and you will
Remain
For bright lights and cityscapes
And landslides and masquerades
And she'll take all you ever have
But I'm gonna love you
You say, maybe it'll last this time
But I'm gonna love you
You never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Til you start looking back
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
Zoe Banuelos cavalcades instead of care for gates
One of my favorite songwriters. When I first heard her get to the part where she sings, “I wouldn’t need a second chance”, I died of chills.
Everything about this song is perfect. So perfect it makes me want to cry. This is why Sara is my favourite.
God, she sounds like a Disney princess.
+pj9412 She is who the Disney princesses wish they could sound like. I was about to say she should voice the next princess, but I realized she'd make every other one seem really lame.
This is one of my favourite songs from Sara. The emotion that you can hear in this song... It leaves me speechless. I have teared up several times while listening to this song on different occasions.
This song is exactly how things are for me right now. And right now it's the "right person, wrong timing" type of situation. So, this song is funny, truthful, and all around just much more beautifully said than I ever could to him. And less jealous and hurtful sounding, just truthful and heartfelt. "I wouldn't need a second chance...", but it's up to him to choose... and my heart would go sailing on. Also Rebecca E. I could name MANY anime characters in this situation lolz.
I love how real artists like SaraB are underrated because they're treasures and it means they're hard to find. Those who find them are privileged enough to be hearing what they have to offer. And only a few have ears to good music that's why followers of great artists like Sara B is not that much. Those in the lime light just give out beat or even noise, but hers is real music - poetic, relatable, raw and creative. Simply SaraB!
Bless you
I love you
I love you
+Abby Gayle Javier I agree, I found her accidentally when I was listening to Pandora. This WONDERFUL artist kept coming on the channel that I was listening to. She is now the channel that I listen to her. She is incredible!! I love her music!!
So you're saying shes good?
my heart broke when she first said "till you start looking back"
gosh...is it me or she is spilling her soul onto this album. Amazing. Just plain amazing.
Sara Barreilles is so underrated. This song is beautiful and chilling.
Even after 4 years, this song is still one of the most beautiful songs i have ever listened to, the emotion she puts into it... i have no words
Before I had my first relationship, this was my anthem.. and promised that I’ll always love deeply without needing a second chance. Fast forward to 4 years, and I completely forgot about this song and the promise I made myself. I broke my promise and am now needing a second chance from the guy I truly love the most.
This song reminds me of walking through the streets of NYC. There's so much bittersweet heartbreak in this song that sings about my heartbreaks (and everyone else's), but then you look up at the skyline and all the pain is released out to the sky.
you're so right.
her song City gives the same vibes
this and city was built to encapsulate a heartbeak in an urban place.
Simple, pure, unadulterated beauty. Enough has been said.
This song reminded me of the first time I ever said "I love you" to someone who is still dear to me. He rejected me because were too far apart and felt that it was unrealistic that we would ever be together. As time goes on in some ways I fear he maybe right but it still never means that feeling will go away. It exists as possibilities and dreams, something that is carved into your heart for as long as you live. Were still friends but apart of me still wishes he wouldn't keep sending me presents of friendship. I'd just want him, and only him. No matter how much I try to stop feeling it won't stop, my heart will always yearn for him, no matter who is in my life and whoever i may end up with. I'll always be the love sick fool for him but know that it may never happen. But one can hope right?
This punched me in the heart. I know the feeling. I am struggling with being in love with a friend rn. It's so right, but it also isn't as you know all too well. I hope life has landed you in a gentler place
Who still listens and cries to this in 2019
Now here in 2020.
And still.
I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this song. But it brings a sense of emotional steadiness, physical calm, peace, reflection and a smile that beautiful people do exist.
Sara Bareilles writes beautiful songs.
Must be an emotional black hole she delved into writing this song. The entire 6 minutes are flooded with emotion.
This is the saddest song I've ever heard but I love it
Oh Sara, how you've helped me get through some of my toughest times. Your music is a gift from the heavens! I look forward to listening to your many more albums.
Ashley Dolan go away!
im so amazed at how sara could have composed this song and all others if she hadnt experienced all the travails of emotions to express it into so deeply profound of a song. every song of hers still keeps me guessing every allusion and meaning. its like stepping in wanderland,my soul singin as if in a trance,confused and yet understanding. pitch perfect cold voice and a perceptive lyricist. I love the fact that you stood your ground in your musical journey to stay who you are not caring for the fad and fame. still with the same old folks and following who got through life because of your music. so sublime!
Perfect would be an understatment
This is, hands down, one of the best songs I've ever ever ever heard. It breaks my heart every time. Sara has a habit of doing that to me.
WTF?! she hasn't won a grammy yet??? what is wrong with this world!?
Been rocking with Sara since her first album! She gives us the mysterious and magical aspect of organic artistry. Simply brilliant. I am a singer/songwriter and so I know first hand the difficulty of just making real music in a world full of one hit wonders.
I always come back to this song. The raw emotion of it gets me everytime. Thank you for sharing your talents and voice with the world.
Same.
She has the magical talent to make usual words a touching sentence
I love how she cries in the recording of this... Thank you Ben Folds 🖤
I cried listening to this song. The first time I cried listening to a song. It perfectly describes my life. This song deserves more.
Her songs are so simple but they tell great stories. The melody just melts your heart. PERFECTION! This is what I call MUSIC!
You'd never have to ask, I'm gonna love you, so right, I wouldn't need a second chance.
I feel like I walked in on something very personal and private. This touched my heart.
“I’m gonna love you, ‘til you start looking back.”
I've been listening to this for three years and it's still one of my favourites.
Sara is one of the few singers that can break my heart and amaze me at the same time. I just wish that she can come to Puerto Rico and have a concert.
I'm lucky that I found youuu Sara.😭❤
I can't remember the last time a song has touched me so deeply and made me cry. This was exactly what I was going through this time last year. I've always loved your music but this song is magical, thank you
You can touch hearts in a way that anybody can't do it, i love u and i love ur music, thanks for being here in this planet
I'm very lucky to be a fan of Sara. Just listening to her beautiful soulful voice and heatfelt lyrics is something I will never get tired of doing. She's my fave singer and songwriter and I'm always proud of saying that even though some of my friends don't know her. It's their loss anyway. XD
+Efem Potter Everytime I play Sara to anyone they all say the same thing "how can you listen to this? its so depressing." I think us Sara fans are a special kind of people. We hear beauty where other people hear sad. Or something..... I'm done. xD
That is so true. ;)
+Shelley Duran Couldn't agree more! My friends would always tell me that I have a depressing playlist which is mostly made up of Sara's song.
I always come back to this song! It just plays me so well. Entirely underrated!
❤❤🙌
@5:02 The nostalgia hit me real hard. Gosh, I love her
Sara is such an exquisite gift to humanity. Her talent and music are so therapeutic. She's a heaven sent.
This is truly another masterpiece . Sara is one of the most beautiful storytellers I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. She will be here forever. Besides, she's is way better than most of the "more popular" artists out.
Sara B has something special. Something few other artists can touch.
Who told you you were allowed to make this 😭❤️ It’s like you have zero regard for my feelings
Amazing speech less
She is absolutely my favorite artist ever! Her voice is flawless. I love you, Sara!
i can't even begin to describe the love i have for this song. its so simple and honest and just. wow
Your such an Underrated artist..maybe it's better that way those who have real talent in the industry and become big seem to conform to the trash we hear everyday on the radio..but you have pure talent Sara and your lyrics are creative and unique i love your wordings.
there's someone in my life this makes me think of very much..I cry everytime.
Pulls at my heart strings !! The memories that feel as it happened just yesterday... he's been gone way to long...I just wanna see him Happy again...that's all I wish for!! Apollo Verdi....:*(((
"I don't want any less anymore" so true. I am so sorry my dear that I couldn't just love you as a friend. Maybe we will reconnect later in life or another lifetime and have the story that we were meant to. It's so hard to accept the limits of this moment.
If anything this song deserves a music video.
Still my favorite song from her.
This is truly one of the most ethereal songs that I have ever heard. The emotion that it evokes is just so painfully beautiful... 😊😍
Sara Bareilles is the best-kept open secret the world of music has right now. I kind of like how she's not completely out there on the charts - it means that the people who pick up on her and love her are quality.
Every time I hear this song, it hits me right in the heart. It is such a masterpiece.
She is her authentic self, the best, amazing!!
Sara Bareilles = Real Talent. Real Deal.
I dedicated this song to someone, and now I feel the excruciating pain that I felt when he moved out of my life every time I listen to this beautiful melody. Nevertheless, I am still in awe with this song. Thank you for this Sara!
But I feel it's a crime for humanity that so few people have been touched and moved by her music. everyone deserves to hear the powerful emotion and discover the inherent meaning of this song. It's just so lovely
This song is totally amazing!!! Totally amazing!!! It speaks so loudly of something that happened in my life once. Love you Sara. Love love your music.
This song makes me tear up every time ;_; Love you, Sara!
This song is the theme of my last breakup *tear* Hugs to all y'all who listen to Sara! And thanks to Sara for helping me through all my heartaches with her beautiful music and poetry!
wow....she has such a beautiful voice
Sara.. Your voice is such a comforter.
I have missed this so much
This song makes me have some serious feels.
Still love you Sara!
I am a songwriter now too in this side of the planet.
I want to thank you for influencing me the way of story telling :)
I love you! Love you! Always love you Sara!
I was stressed. So stressed like my head was going to explode. I heard this and I feel like I've got the warmest hug.
Thankyou.
So touching! She really is underrated.
this is so poetic and tragic and ....this can be an epic movie themesong!!!pleassee!!
As a muscian I am sometimes amazed by the sheer talent of certain artists. Sara is something well beyond amazing, but simple words limit me from describing her transcendent, profound, sheer genius.
The first song to actually make me cry.
sara always has a way of singing the words in my heart!! what a beautiful amazing Song...o imma so cry!! chills...goosebumps!!! so Talented and beautiful!!! :*(((
the real queen of sad songs is Sara Bareilles.. not Adele..
antzg88 legit
antzg88 very true
And the king would be Keaton Henson.
The Nephilim TRUE THAT.
@@thenephilim3275 hes on a different level.... Just out of this world...
When i first heard his song, i cant say how i felt, but i have every song of his that i could find,... These artists are rare and hard to find, its just pure luck that i found Sara back when i was going through a rough patch almost 9 years ago.. and by some miracle i found Keaton henson at a time in my life which was arguably worse... And just thinking about that makes me hopefull..
Beauty in the most simple and perfect way
i imagine a lovely mother singing this song to her daughter🌼❤
This is one of the most beautiful songs that I've ever heard, and I must say that she has an absolutely wonderful voice as well. (:
I have no words. Nothing will ever come close to describing the beauty of this song.
I woke up today with this in my head. Over and over...bright lights and cityscapes.
I think Sara has described perfectly what is felt in the hearts of many who have loved so deeply only we know💜
Totally captivated. Heart melts, tears fall. I love you, Sara Bareilles! You're awesome ;)
just so perfect!!! can't stop listening to the song...so how I feel right now. why take a second chance when the first time was all that was ever needed!!!! love you always Derell Gerard!!! :-)
beautiful... without words, it just makes me cry!
This song is nothing short of AMAZING and sooooooooo soothing and BEAUTIFUL. Sara i love ALL OF your music!! There's a PERFECT somg for every mood.
Even while knowing what this song means, all I hear is God speaking to me through her words where that other person is who I want and doesn't want me but he's just gonna love me (God).... thanks Sarah this song means a lot to me.
I was lost searching for random songs here and there, and then I stumbled upon this wonderful song of yours Sara, you truly know how to move hearts and take music to a higher level of soulfulness and beauty. Thank you
Darnit, I wish I had a voice like hers, so amazing...
The song is flawless

This is the most beautiful i have ever heard in my entire life. Literally. Sara you are truly wonderful...
I reminded of my home NYC.
Do you listen to her songs Manhattan and Chasing The Sun? Both of those refer specifically to NYC :)
The first song i'd ever heard from Sara was Gravity & i've been hooked on her since that song - it got me through a FUCK up break up back then , I appreciate at an angle's voice
*sigh*
Dat 9/8 compound time doe.

There are 9 beats in every measure and an eighth note gets one beat.
