The other night, my husband rolled over to cuddle me after turning off the lights, and had this song queued up to play. It was the sweetest "I LOVE YOU" ever! ❤
“I hope my love was someone else’s solid ground” this touches so deeply to me. I am someone whose reason for doing something is for someone else. Even if I barely know them. They are my reason. I hope my love will be someone else’s solid ground. I can’t be the only one.
"If the bottom drops out, I hope my love was someone else's solid ground" Such a hauntingly beautiful song. This line particularly resonates with me because isn't that the ultimate goal? That your kindness truly makes a positive difference in someone's life.
The times are only troubled because we allow a powerful few to set false narratives and oppress us with lies. What we need is not an anthem about misery from compliance to falsehoods. But, absolute defiance to lies and use of our common sense. Beautiful song, tho. Loved it
I learned that Orpheus was a mythological man in love who lost his wife and had a chance to bring her back to life thanks to his music that could touch every soul and living being. But when trying to lead her invisible shadow to life which he wasn't supposed to look at, he turned around by looking at her, lost her forever. Sara's ability to tell stories is such a gift to the world. She's a modern-day hopeful and brave Orpheus that makes every soul believe we can hold on to love and never turns away from it.
I certainly agree with all your points, I just would like to add that from my recollection he didn't give up in the sense that he just left her behind. He was explicitly told he can lead the way outside as long as he doesn't turn around to look at her. But going up he grew impatient and he couldn't hear her footsteps (obv she was a spirit) and so he turned around just before she faded aways and returned to the underworld forever. So if he had listened to the conditions to save her they could've had a life together but he didn't have enough trust and was impatient.
Literally a day before a live performance of this was uploaded to RUclips for the first time I was talking my girlfriend late at night and I remember saying, "In a single year, or just a few months you can lose so much of what you love. All the truth vanishes. The people I loved all suddenly just changed beyond recognition at the end of 2016. And no matter how much I miss the way things used to be, I can't forget none of it was true." Next morning on RUclips I hear one of my all-time favourite singers go: "I know you miss the world, the one you knew The one where everything made sense Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works ’Til the bottom drops out and we learn We're all just hunters seeking solid ground" Sara is an angel. And may be this won't ever be a popular song or even win a grammy, but this is the kind of music that can change and save people by winning hearts. And that's all that matters. Thank You, Sara Bareilles.
@@strawberryme08 Obviously it's a quote out of context so I can't blame you for drawing any conclusion you like. But no, not "everyone". Not my parents, not my girlfriend... Just some that I loved and trusted for the longest time of my life. It's a personal matter that I'd rather put all out in the open. Just something happened, and I ended up in a hospital when I least expected it... And that's how you really learn who your people are. When people you have trusted all your life betray and let you down and don't even care enough to say sorry you finally see the truth. And yeah, may be people never really change. It's just I didn't know the truth of who they were. And I believed in my convictions about them bcz that seemed to be my only "solid ground". The point: This is the most personally relatable song I have ever heard. Sara's Blessed Unrest had some amazing songs that I had found relatable back then to. She's not like all those other pop artists out there dissing about their way too many ex-boyfriends. Her lyrics are not about her. Not pointed. Not directed. Not about anybody. Yet so many can relate to every word. That's real music. The kind we have no appreciation for these days.
@@AnandamoyBandyopadhyay Sarah is awesome. I get what you are saying. I didn't think "everyone" but sometimes it feels that way when you go through something hard and yes, you truly do find out who your friends truly are when things get hard. I still call it an "upgrade" the people who stuck are higher quality and you know they have your back, if you are laying on it sick or injured haha. I also have deep connection to all her music. It's relatable and has depth. a lot of the people in the world now days seriously lack depth
What a beautiful commentary on your connection to "Orpheus." I love hearing about spiritual, in your case almost mystical, connections. My best friend from high school almost 35 years ago, we agreed this was one of her most beautiful of the new songs. On disparate paths, "Orpheus" also recounts the winding journeys for my friend and me. Thanks for sharing your story. Wouldn't it be cool if Sara won Best Pop Vocal Performance in 2020? I believe she has a worthy contender for Album of the Year!
@@strawberryme08 Hi, I love the way you use "upgrade" for a situation like that.... Live is not static, no matter how much we love a moment, a period, people, even our adored pets. I just lost my little fluffy com[panion, she was with me for 15 years. I miss her so much... She went to sleep in my arms. Lost of any kind is painful...
Maybe we met at the wrong timeline. Until the next universe we meet again, maybe there I can truly love you the way I love you now. No regrets and restraints. May this message reach you. Until then my butterfly 🦋
Me and my 8 year old sing this together. I have to interpret so she understands the meaning of the song. Hopefully one day it helps her get through difficult times.
@@ivettecruz7768 That's beautiful, Ivette! I have a song that my mom "dedicated" to me when I was little, and it is sooo meaningful. I'm sure this one will help her and wrap her through tough times, big time!
I used to think the "used to be mine" was my favorite song of Sara until I discovered this song, this song is so powerful, has story, with so much meaning since I did a research of the "Orpheus mitology" , I feel a great conection ! Im so happy the Sara doesnt allow herself to be carried by the artifical music of this days, she has an special spark, authentic spark.
Come by the fire, lay down your head My love, I see you're growing tired So set the bad day by the bed, and rest a while Your eyes can close You don’t have to do a thing but listen to me sing I know you miss the world, the one you knew The one where everything made sense Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works 'Til the bottom drops out and you learn We're all just hunters seeking solid ground Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out Say out loud We will not give up on love now No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here Hold me in the dark, and when the day appears We'll say We did not give up on love today I'll show you good, restore your faith I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place Convince you love, don’t breathe it in You were written in the stars that we are swimming in And it has no name, no guarantee It’s just the promise of a day I know that some may never see But that's enough, if the bottom drops out I hope my love was someone else's solid ground Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out Say out loud We will not give up on love now No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here Hold me in the dark, and when the day appears We'll say We did not give up on love today We'll say We did not give up on love today

I am awestruck when I hear Sara's first few tones. Been a musician since 4, Boston. Played in most of the bands and all the clubs. Sara mentions the drummer in this album, I think, and yes, he is truly gifted with Sara's music. Couldn't do it better :) Awesome, some, awes, ome.
@@SweetestSmile21 'k Hou het in de gaten, zou ook dolgraag een optreden meemaken. Is sinds Eva Cassidy geleden dat een stem me zo kan raken, elke keer weer. Groetjes, Marc
Why is this the best song written in the history of all songs written in the world… every time I listen to it I weep, the kind of tears that wash the heaviness and pain away and make me remember it’s ok to be alive. I’m so grateful for sara to share her thoughts and music and love with the world that’s gotta be scary but. I’m so grateful.
Anyone else imagining her as Persephone in Hadestown while listening to this song? Like afterwards when the story’s over and she wants to know if Hades would pass the test if they had to. And she knows he can do it, but there’s the conviction that she needs to know he learned from Orpheus and Eurydice, or if it’s too late for change. And either way, I’m happy to listen over and over again while waiting for an answer.
No. Sara wouldn't be the high strung, party girl Penelope of the play Hadestown. She'd be the sweet, loving, gentle goddess Hades fell in love with in the sunshine. But creatures like this can't live underground.
played this song tonight alone in the living room, and then my mother showed up, awakened by the beauty of the song. Thank you Sara for this masterpiece
When I thought I have listened to all the beautiful songs I could ever listen in my life, Sara writes Orpheus and I start crying without knowing how to call this feeling in my heart, and I find out it's just happiness and gratitud for Sara's life and talent. This is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. From the bottom of my heart thanks, Sara.
I'm convinced Sara is an interdimentional being. Channeling all of the souls past and ahead. This woman's ability to write is worldly. She has been a satellite through my trials and tribulations. No words could ever create what my heart feels as my soul transfers through each tune ✌💛🙂
What an absolutely gorgeous song, so beautifully written and performed. I'm sure this will touch many people at just the right time they need to hear it.
This is so beautiful and it made me cry. I love how Sara’s music can have so many meanings...more than just relationships. I appreciate that so much. We’re so lucky to be living in this time to hear her music.
I only recently discovered Sara’s music, and I’ve been falling completely in love with it over the last month or so. It’s nice to see I’m not alone! She’s really an extraordinarily talented person... I hope to dance to this song at my wedding! It doesn’t get any more romantic than this!
More than any other singer, I notice how much Sara changes her voice, tone, phrasing etc. with each song. She never just opens her mouth and starts singing - she works each phrase so that it expresses exactly what she wants to say. And so many songs are sung with a unique approach. For example on her first album, on “Vegas” she sounds loose and kinda drunk; “Between The Lines” is bitter regret; “Love On The Rocks” is sassy; “Gravity” is a whispered secret. And it goes on like that album after album.
@@Invisiguy I love all the different tones in Kaleidoscope Heart. From Hold My Heart to Basket Case, to Machine Gun, to Bluebird... it's a nice ride of an album, and I totally know what you mean! That being said, her albums are so distinguishable by sound in general. I don't love a lot of Amidst the Chaos, but this song definitely is at the pinnacle of some of her best songs.
Brandon, Kaleidoscope Heart is currently her album that I play to death, too! I feel like her early songs were typically about working through her emotions, and - having already plowed those fields - on Blessed Unrest and Amidst The Chaos she is more focused on exploring interesting musical ideas. (As you probably know, Sara always starts with the musical idea, not the lyrics, which blew my mind since her lyrics are so strong!) ATC was the first album I bought, and I was hooked - but each additional album is a new “Wow...” I feel like the run of songs on KH from Say You’re Sorry on through Bluebird are like a trance - absolute perfection. That’s a real accomplishment for a sophomore album.
To me personally, the most beautiful song of the album. It puts a smile and a sigh in me every time I listen to it. I marvel on the mixture of feelings. Love the anticipation of knowing song eight is about to play. A dream song, poetic, meaningful lyrics, gorgeous melody, caressing vocals, sad yet hopeful, reminisce of a love that might make it or not, the uncertainly makes it so real, so emotional, enticing and precious... Love its magic beyond explanation, which elicits, all at once, something sweet, loving, and shattering in me. Thank you for this soul balm of a song. Love.
This literally my go to song when people tend to left me. This always lifted me up I should always wait for someone who will save me amidst the chaos, who is braver than Orpheus, someone who will consider my love to be his own solid ground
"we are just hunters seeking solid ground... say out loud we will not give up on love today" That sums up life in a few words! Sara is a true artist that you can listen to a song and hear something new every time you play. I will not give up on the world to love!
It's fitting that this is my favorite song off this album because "Cassiopeia" is my favorite song off The Blessed Unrest. Of all her work, I haven't loved anything as much as I love The Blessed Unrest, but this whole album came pretty close. Can't wait for more music from her, as always!
I’ve been listening to this one on repeat today. It’s just so calming and so wonderful. It makes me want to sit by a fire and gaze into the stars with my love’s around me after a horrible long day full of kisses and sweetness.
I've been obsessed with this song these past few weeks and I was in a French supermarket and heard it on the radio. It made my day. Thank you for your music and lots of love from France!
Definitely one of my favourites from this album. Love your music, your words... your artistry. Thank you for sharing it with the world, Sara. Really...
i listen to power metal. this is one of the top 5 songs i have ever heard in my life. i am a christian, so i am not afraid to weep in the face of beauty, and so i hold this song in a regard that my lord gave to me to experience. god bless this song and sara.
I just heard this song for the first time today in a Sears and wow, I actually almost started crying in the middle of the men's clothing section. Thank God we've got music finder apps so I was able to find this song. This is beautiful.
I'm currently listening to hers and Christina Perri's music. Sara is my favourite and this album is beautiful. The lyrics, instruments, her voice, the rhythms. Amidst the chaos is worth listening 24/7 !!!
My daughter and I haven't spoken in 2 years to say I'm devasted sad is an understatement but my faith and hope in GOD and believing in his timing someday I can say we did not give up on love today. You BNL will always be my hero and my most precious gift from GOD. Have a god filled day MOO
Une fois de plus je decouvre cette chanson de Sara Bareilles qui m'emeut comme toutes ses chansons.. Quelle superbe voix. Dommage que nous ne l"entendions pas sur les ondes en France 🇨🇵🎶🇨🇵😍❤
I’m not one to usually pay attention to the lyrics first, and I have yet to take time and read them for this song. But oh man, the music arrangement is beautiful! Reminds me of a Mexican ballad and it’s so nostalgic for me.
The sun reappears, And light is nearer still. The darkness is behind us, for now. It's still cold in the glow, The snow is melting slowly around my heart, Where the fire burns strong as it ever has. The wind chime dangles idly, It won't make a noise. It's still, for now. The sun flickers off its cold exterior, But the tone is there, Waiting to be unleashed. The path to the note is always the same, Just displace it in space For a moment and it will ring true. And that truth is more than just for now. (I did not give up on love today.)
I'd be honored if some Sara B fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of her first hit LOVE SONG in tribute to one of the greatest albums of the '00s decade as well as to the release of Amidst the Chaos (Sara's FIFTH album!). Live acoustic on my YT channel with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Come by the fire Lay down your head My love I see you're growing tired So set the bad day by the bed And rest a while Your eyes can close You don't have to do a thing But listen to me sing I know You miss the world The one you knew The one where everything made sense Because you didn't know the truth That's how it works Till the bottom drops out And you learn We're all just hunters seeking solid ground Don't stop Trying to find me here amidst the chaos Though I know it's blinding There's a way out Say out loud We will not give up on love now No fear Don't you turn like Orpheus Just stay here Hold me in the dark and when the day appears We'll say We did not give up on love today I'll show you good Restore your faith I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place Convince you love, don't breathe it in You were written in the stars that we are swimming in And it has no name No guarantee It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see But that's enough If the bottom drops out I hope my love was someone else's solid ground Don't stop Trying to find me here amidst the chaos Though I know it's blinding There's a way out Say out loud We will not give up on love now No fear Don't you turn like Orpheus Just stay here Hold me in the dark and when the day appears We'll say We did not give up on love today We'll say We did not give up on love today

The other night, my husband rolled over to cuddle me after turning off the lights, and had this song queued up to play. It was the sweetest "I LOVE YOU" ever! ❤
This just happened to me too ❤❤❤
You cannot convince me that this song isn't a lullaby.
“I hope my love was someone else’s solid ground” this touches so deeply to me. I am someone whose reason for doing something is for someone else. Even if I barely know them. They are my reason. I hope my love will be someone else’s solid ground. I can’t be the only one.
thank you.
This song is a masterpiece. Not much else to say beyond that... one of those you suddenly find yourself tearing up over. Just gold.
"If the bottom drops out, I hope my love was someone else's solid ground"
Such a hauntingly beautiful song. This line particularly resonates with me because isn't that the ultimate goal? That your kindness truly makes a positive difference in someone's life.
Yes this. This is what it's all about.
These two get it.
Exactly........
The most beautiful line i’ve ever heard in a song.
I sang this song to my sweet husband while he was passing from cancer in 2020. Still makes me weep. It probably always will.
What a beautiful gift you gave his spirit ❤
sara, how could you know over a year ago that we would so desperately need this anthem for our current troubled time? thank you.
This is my anthem. It applies to relationships and circumstances in my life so strongly right now. Thanks you Sara.
So true👍❤
Our time was already troubled in 2019.
My favorite song....
The times are only troubled because we allow a powerful few to set false narratives and oppress us with lies. What we need is not an anthem about misery from compliance to falsehoods. But, absolute defiance to lies and use of our common sense. Beautiful song, tho. Loved it

Welcome to the tribe of, “this woman is so fucking underrated.” She’s incredible in every sense.
She's a lyrical genius. Her lyrics always give me chills. So beautiful
"You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing."
I don't WANT to do a thing but listen to you sing, Sara!
I think that I have heard this song 1000 times......

I know you miss the world, the one you knew
The one where everything made sense
Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works

We're all just hunters seeking solid ground
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
Hold me in the dark, and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
I'll show you good, restore your faith
I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
Convince you love, don’t breathe it in
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
And it has no name, no guarantee
It’s just the promise of a day I know that some may never see
But that's enough, if the bottom drops out
I hope my love was someone else's solid ground
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now

I'm convinced Sara is an interdimentional being. Channeling all of the souls past and ahead.
This woman's ability to write is worldly.
She has been a satellite through my trials and tribulations.
No words could ever create what my heart feels as my soul transfers through each tune
✌💛🙂
Be silent, listen deeply, know that you are ,strong hug.
"I know you miss the world the one you knew" god. it's like she read my thoughts. I would love to lie down and just listen to you sing Sara.
this is one of the best music I've ever heard.
What an absolutely gorgeous song, so beautifully written and performed. I'm sure this will touch many people at just the right time they need to hear it.
This is the most beautiful thing I've heard in a while.
Sara is one of the greatest singers ever! Excellent lyrics, excellent tunes.
HER RANGE
this was much needed during these uncertain, dark and chaotic times!
This is so beautiful and it made me cry. I love how Sara’s music can have so many meanings...more than just relationships. I appreciate that so much. We’re so lucky to be living in this time to hear her music.
I only recently discovered Sara’s music, and I’ve been falling completely in love with it over the last month or so. It’s nice to see I’m not alone! She’s really an extraordinarily talented person...
I hope to dance to this song at my wedding! It doesn’t get any more romantic than this!
Dear Sarah. Thank you for this song, the honesty and kindness in it. This song saved me from an anxiety attack after a bad breakup.
this song should heal the world!
One of the most beautiful songs she has wrote ❤️
We did not give up on love today. ♥️
2:09 I love her tone when she says "poison." I mean she sings it all beautifully, but that one word ironically comes out so beautifully.
Yes! It's just beautiful.
More than any other singer, I notice how much Sara changes her voice, tone, phrasing etc. with each song. She never just opens her mouth and starts singing - she works each phrase so that it expresses exactly what she wants to say. And so many songs are sung with a unique approach. For example on her first album, on “Vegas” she sounds loose and kinda drunk; “Between The Lines” is bitter regret; “Love On The Rocks” is sassy; “Gravity” is a whispered secret.
And it goes on like that album after album.
@@Invisiguy I love all the different tones in Kaleidoscope Heart. From Hold My Heart to Basket Case, to Machine Gun, to Bluebird... it's a nice ride of an album, and I totally know what you mean!
That being said, her albums are so distinguishable by sound in general. I don't love a lot of Amidst the Chaos, but this song definitely is at the pinnacle of some of her best songs.
Brandon, Kaleidoscope Heart is currently her album that I play to death, too!
I feel like her early songs were typically about working through her emotions, and - having already plowed those fields - on Blessed Unrest and Amidst The Chaos she is more focused on exploring interesting musical ideas. (As you probably know, Sara always starts with the musical idea, not the lyrics, which blew my mind since her lyrics are so strong!)
ATC was the first album I bought, and I was hooked - but each additional album is a new “Wow...”
I feel like the run of songs on KH from Say You’re Sorry on through Bluebird are like a trance - absolute perfection. That’s a real accomplishment for a sophomore album.
This is such a soothing, hauntingly beautiful song. I love it.
I,m just smitten with the beauty of this piece. Words are insufficient to describe the perfect wonder of this poetic melody.
How paradoxical it is: She deserves a Grammy and does not need one, at the same time. ❤
My God this is extraordinary and so beautiful. Like warm sun on my face.
i will not give up.
this is the song that i need today
How is it that you only have 5k likes for THIS song???? It is beautiful and has helped me/us heal. Thank you Sara!!!
this song is sooo beautiful a hidden gem...When i first heard this song while biking i need to stop and look whos the artist
To me personally, the most beautiful song of the album. It puts a smile and a sigh in me every time I listen to it. I marvel on the mixture of feelings. Love the anticipation of knowing song eight is about to play. A dream song, poetic, meaningful lyrics, gorgeous melody, caressing vocals, sad yet hopeful, reminisce of a love that might make it or not, the uncertainly makes it so real, so emotional, enticing and precious... Love its magic beyond explanation, which elicits, all at once, something sweet, loving, and shattering in me. Thank you for this soul balm of a song. Love.
"I hope my love was someone else's solid ground."
This woman hypnotizes me! I just love her! Best songwriter of ballads out there right now!
Gentility and power, ,wrapped up in a moment's expressive story-telling ! Lovely !
Sara's song titles are deceivingly AMAZING!
This literally my go to song when people tend to left me. This always lifted me up I should always wait for someone who will save me amidst the chaos, who is braver than Orpheus, someone who will consider my love to be his own solid ground
"we are just hunters seeking solid ground... say out loud we will not give up on love today" That sums up life in a few words! Sara is a true artist that you can listen to a song and hear something new every time you play. I will not give up on the world to love!
It's fitting that this is my favorite song off this album because "Cassiopeia" is my favorite song off The Blessed Unrest. Of all her work, I haven't loved anything as much as I love The Blessed Unrest, but this whole album came pretty close. Can't wait for more music from her, as always!
I’ve been listening to this one on repeat today. It’s just so calming and so wonderful. It makes me want to sit by a fire and gaze into the stars with my love’s around me after a horrible long day full of kisses and sweetness.
I imagine myself dancing in the room with the man I will love for the rest of my life while this song plays. I hope that day comes. ❤️
I've been obsessed with this song these past few weeks and I was in a French supermarket and heard it on the radio. It made my day. Thank you for your music and lots of love from France!
"I love every single song Sara Bareilles sings.....wow"
Definitely one of my favourites from this album. Love your music, your words... your artistry. Thank you for sharing it with the world, Sara. Really...
i listen to power metal. this is one of the top 5 songs i have ever heard in my life. i am a christian, so i am not afraid to weep in the face of beauty, and so i hold this song in a regard that my lord gave to me to experience. god bless this song and sara.
Check out Saint Honesty if you like this one.
I love you sarah. thanks for making this song.
Absolutely love the melody of this song….there are thousands of musical artists but Sara is a true song writer. Just beautiful 🥰
Beautiful!!!
My favorite song from her new album. She's so fucking amazing
The whole album is perfect this one 👏💗
In some ways, this is my favorite song by Sara. I love it philosophically.
When I listen to your music at times it feels like you're singing directly in to my heart. So grateful for your existence Sara
I would die for this woman ... so blessed to have her making beautiful music for us ❤️
Love builds the world. It lifts us from the ashes of what was to become what will be.
Best song on the album 💖
I just heard this song for the first time today in a Sears and wow, I actually almost started crying in the middle of the men's clothing section. Thank God we've got music finder apps so I was able to find this song. This is beautiful.
I'm currently listening to hers and Christina Perri's music.
Sara is my favourite and this album is beautiful. The lyrics, instruments, her voice, the rhythms.
Amidst the chaos is worth listening 24/7
!!!
My daughter and I haven't spoken in 2 years to say I'm devasted sad is an understatement but my faith and hope in GOD and believing in his timing someday I can say we did not give up on love today. You BNL will always be my hero and my most precious gift from GOD. Have a god filled day MOO
This is heartbreakingly beautiful
Une fois de plus je decouvre cette chanson de Sara Bareilles qui m'emeut comme toutes ses chansons.. Quelle superbe voix. Dommage que nous ne l"entendions pas sur les ondes en France 🇨🇵🎶🇨🇵😍❤
These songs stick to your soul and give solace. I absolutely love this cd and the artist herself.💖
This is perfection
What a stunning song this is! wow. Builds up so beautifully, hauntingly, sweetly.
I listen to this song to put away all the stresses of the world and enjoy her awesome voice! Love it!
La plus belle chanson d'amour jamais créée.... Impossible de faire mieux dorénavant. Merci Sara!
I’m not one to usually pay attention to the lyrics first, and I have yet to take time and read them for this song. But oh man, the music arrangement is beautiful! Reminds me of a Mexican ballad and it’s so nostalgic for me.
This song is a f-masterpiece!
who gave you the right to play with my heart like that?
Beautiful prayer plea that we all should be able to relate to in our lives if we’re human!!
The sun reappears,
And light is nearer still.
The darkness is behind us, for now.
It's still cold in the glow,
The snow is melting slowly around my heart,
Where the fire burns strong as it ever has.
The wind chime dangles idly,
It won't make a noise.
It's still, for now.
The sun flickers off its cold exterior,
But the tone is there,
Waiting to be unleashed.
The path to the note is always the same,
Just displace it in space
For a moment and it will ring true.
And that truth is more than just for now.
(I did not give up on love today.)
This is my freaking favorite ❤️❤️❤️
Sara, thank you for sharing the beauty of your words and music with us! I am always amazed by your ability to convey soul-deep meaning!
I'd be honored if some Sara B fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of her first hit LOVE SONG in tribute to one of the greatest albums of the '00s decade as well as to the release of Amidst the Chaos (Sara's FIFTH album!). Live acoustic on my YT channel with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Thank you for your beautiful voice. Thanks for reminding us of love in these times! London needs you now!
Why I just found this song? This song comforts me a lot. Thank you for making this song, Sara.
Come by the fire
Lay down your head
My love I see you're growing tired
So set the bad day by the bed
And rest a while
Your eyes can close
You don't have to do a thing
But listen to me sing I know
You miss the world
The one you knew
The one where everything made sense
Because you didn't know the truth
That's how it works
Till the bottom drops out
And you learn
We're all just hunters seeking solid ground
Don't stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding
There's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear
Don't you turn like Orpheus
Just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
I'll show you good
Restore your faith
I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
Convince you love, don't breathe it in
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
And it has no name
No guarantee
It's just the promise of a day
I know that some may never see
But that's enough
If the bottom drops out
I hope my love was someone else's solid ground
Don't stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding
There's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear
Don't you turn like Orpheus
Just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
This is so indescribably beautiful.
I
hear
you sing
Orpheus
and
I
melt
in
tender blue
This song was the imaginary hug that I needed to get me through a bad day. Sara's song writing skills are seriously awe-inspiring
