I'm at one of the weakest phases of my life. When she said ' I wanna see you be brave.' I just started crying. When no one else is saying it to you. It means a lot even if it's in just a song.
I'm sorry you feel that way but at least you realize it. The media will tell you, that you are miserable - don't subscribe to their BS! Live y our life and stop paying attention to jerks.
@Annelisemu Coolname I hope you're Ok. I've just come out the other side of one of the darkest times of my life; walked through fire ... If you need a friend to listen, contact Me. You're important. Never forget that. I'm also crying while listening to this, .. because I Was brave. Finally.
Gideon Hardin Scott What? That’s so rude. Don’t assume gods colour. He/she might he different from that. I don’t god would like to offend people. God is god and he/she is amazing.
The most underrated singer in existence if you ask me. She sounds amazing live and writes all of her music. She is also an amazing author! Her book truly sounds like her and it's so great!
Yet the song is based on a total lie. Women do NOT want you to “say what you wanna say” or “be brave”. They want you to say what they want to hear. The song should be titled “Say what I wanna hear” or “Be brave in a way I approve of”. And it also helps significantly if you’re good looking.
@@PlomostriumGrastipulum Unfortunately, you are horribly mistaken. The song was inspired by a friend's stuggle to come out as gay. As much as I want to empathize with what ever caused you to form your incorrect opinion, the way you portray your perspective leaves a a horrible taste on everybody's mouth. Hope you find a way to cure the bitterness in your heart.
Literally one of the funnest music videos I have ever seen. Nothing crazy. No special effects. Just a bunch of normal people dancing and enjoying their day.
This song is EVERYTHING!!!..I PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER..as I left my 28 yr abusive marriage...I'd also had a horrible abusive childhood...horrible father..then molested by stepfather...then when I finally was free and on my own..I was diagnosed with breast cancer...4 months chemo and 4 weeks radiation...I believe your body responds to stress with sicknesses...that was mine..I am now 5 yrs cancer free..but just had back surgery...her song gives me strength to speak up finally when I never had a voice before..I wish I could thank her...
Be brave? Yes! Be careless? Not a good idea. This virus has killed a lot of people so far. However, I'm with you to not use more protective gear than you need to. Those in the medical sectors and funeral services also need them and we're running out! Please remember that stockpiling anything selfishly benefits one at the risk of others who really need them NOW.
I am 36 years old and I have suffered from social anxiety all my life. Until half a year ago I decided to start living; Making the decision to come out of the darkness was difficult, you can't imagine how much. It is a constant fight with my mind, counteracting the irrational thoughts that come to destroy me, this war seems to have no end... But I have found along the way tools that help me continue standing despite everything, and among those tools that help you face the day to day life is this song, a thousand and a thousand thanks to its interpreter for the wonderful work of art that he shared with us, you will not believe how some lyrics accompanied by a beautiful voice and melody can save your day, save your life. life... On the days when anxiety comes to knock me down with all its strength, this song has made it possible for me to get out through crying everything that is stuck in my soul, hurting me, by letting out what hurts I can get up with new strength to continue, to fight, to live... I write this with tears in my eyes because only those of us who suffer from social phobia know the hell this means, and how brave we have to be every day to carry out tasks that seem simple to the rest of the world. A thousand thanks to this song that encourages us to continue standing, to be strong and not lose hope, because we are important, we are part of a whole and we are brave! I wanna see you be brave! 👏🏻🤝🏻💪🏻❤️
What a deeply written. Can understands your situation. I seen this song on a one you tube short where kid was struggling with cancer fought like unseen warrior with it. And now i found this song and comment too. Felt better when i read it. Its like i found the lyrics words that i can remember to fight with my anxiety issue too. Thanks dear. Keep writing. Be brave!!!
This song reminds me of my mom after she had a stroke she started all over without a voice an legs to walk I left my gf I left my job an sold my car to take care of her I was there for ten yrs docs said shell never walk or move her right leg again it took me nearly 4 yrs of physical therapy but she did it! She could life her leg at will it was one of the proudest days of my entire life I held her hand as she passed this song brings me to tears
I was offered a new job two days ago. I negotiated the salary. I haven't heard anything back, but coming here because it was 100% out of character for me to do it, but i felt really brave doing it. Thank you.
This is my BREAKOUT song! It was released right when I was getting divorced and it literally helped me be strong enough to stand up and fight for myself. It's one of my power songs. I just wanna see you be brave.
THAT IS WONDERFUL. I AM 59 AND THIS SUMMED UP MY WHOLE LIFE OF A FORCE INSIDE ME, MADE ME SPEAK OUT NO MATTER WHERE OR WHEN I WITNESSED A UNJUST ACTION, GOD MADE ME SPEAK, AND I WAS ALWAYS BRAVE BECAUSE I LISTENED TO MY CREATOR WORK IN ME OUTWARDLY, BEING BRAVE!

@@gracieelkins9986 Each time I practice my own broadway show for myself, a little for my husband, like a young giddy fan. I have done my own show about 100 times, and it cracks him up and i feel American and loved.
Michelle ~ that is so awesome!! I can easily see how this would do that. I relied on a variety of songs to get me through those days, depending on my mood. I loved "Better Things" by the Kinks. Hope you're doing even better now...for me, it's hard to remember I was ever married to that jerk!! 😁
The weird thing about the modern world is how older videos are starting to look brand new. Literally looks like it was just filmed, but it's nearly a decade old.
Sara Bareilles is so underrated it hurts. Seems like majority of people only knows her because of Love Song and Brave. I hope they also take time to dive into her other music as well--she has a new album called More Love and it's absolutely fantastic! Please spread the word :)
I don't see why people should feel bad knowing her only because of love song and brave, those are her songs too. idk why you should be so negative about it.
Tbh I didn't know she sang this despite hearing it on the radio for a million times I feel embarrassed 😂 I knew her from Gravity and She Used To Be Mine...oh and Love Song ofc teehee!

I sang this to my kids when they were younger. Before they would ride the bus to school. They were afraid to ride it. Due to bullies and just being kiddos. So before the bus came. I'd play this and sing it to them. They are adults now. And still talk about how this song gave them courage. ( just wanted to share this) 🥰
I'm currently in 8th grade rn in late 2024. This song is really beautiful and nostalgic for me because in elementary school my teachers would play music like this. Love it lol ❤
My daughter has to be the Bravest woman i have ever created, at the tender age of 14 years old we lost her father, in grade school she was picked on, on her 20th birthday she was kidnapped, assaulted and held against her will for 16 hours before she could escape, I've seen many use her like she was a piece of garbage, but yet my beautiful butterfly has been able to pull her life back together all by herself, brush off all she has been thru to become BRAVE once more, I love you Tatum and im so proud of you, this song is for you baby, Love Mum❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy to hear how brave your daughter is and how proud of her you are. I've had similar things happen and haven't had support in my life. It lets me have a little peace and grace knowing that there are others out there like this who are finally getting what they deserve ❤️
Sometimes I think that people think I'm sad or lonely because I'm introverted. I love my life. I just HATE talking to people. It's not like talking to people is scary or anything, it's just very tiring for some reason, literally like I've just run a mile. I'm happy with my small group of close friends and that's all the socializing I need.
Eric Weston I can identify completely. I am at ease doing lectures in front of a whole auditorium, but in general I also avoid people, because it drains me. I can go for weeks without a social. Just give me a bed and a book and I'm content. We aren't antisocial, just selective in our socializing:)
Eric Weston I can relate,I refuse to go any get together where I have to communicate with a lot of people,I need to prepare myself,convince myself even to go to the new computer class I joined,urgh I am just too lazy to write all the problems I faced and still face due to my shyness and introvertism..but I think I am slowly getting better at communicating, because I am going to attend the teachers day program ,which I wd most definitely skip if it was 2 yrs ago,not participating tho,my severe glossophobia won't let me do that!😂 But one thing that helped me whenever I hesitate or feel shy to do anything is.. *what's the worst that wd happen if I do this?* Don't know about others but this made me do things that I normally shy out from!
I can totally relate to what you are saying. But i dont think the message of this song is for us (introverts) to be more social. I think it's more about motivating people to be their true selves or do what they want to do and not to fear it or fear what others may think or say. And I think it can apply to many situations, e.g. coming out of the closet, or standing up to a bully, or living your passion, or whatever... be brave
@@Dimitristhe this song was real popular on an auto commercial I think it was. When I heard it during the DNC, I became a fan of the moment. My favorite moment of the DNC so far
Love this song. And respect to Sarah for not selling out. She keeps her clothes on and nothing sexual like so many female pop artists today. She has actual talent.
Nick H we are human beings we have a gift of being able to communicate by language as evolution has allowed us to evolve into thinking communicating beings there is no need for violence . When and only when that ability breaks down is there a need for action. . Personally I'm a peace lover... So many, myself included have been afraid to speak up against those that should know better. ..
my teachers played this when i was in 4th grade at the end of the year, like 4 or 5 years ago, when one of my closer friends had cancer. they played this song, i think, when she told the class that she wasnt gonna do chemo anymore bc she wanted to live out her last days in peace bc she was gonna die anyway. so whenever i hear this song i always start to cry bc it reminds me of her and i miss her so much. she passed away at the end of our 4th grade year 😥😥😥
And here were are a decade later and still continuing to fight the fight for it, sadly. But as Miss Bareilles put so well, now is the time to "show how big our Brave is..." We all empower each other to let that light that is within us to shine forth and expel the darkness from the world. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness That most frightens us. We ask ourselves Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small Does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, As children do. We were born to make manifest The glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; It's in everyone. *And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.*" --Marianne Williamson "*It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand In the center of the fire with me And not shrink back.*" --Oriah Mountain Dreamer
@@charlespendleton551 gay marriage was legalized in the us in June 26 2015 but this song was released in April 2013 and the video in May 2013 so i am confused on how what you are saying is true? did Bareillas say that's why she did it? i don't see the "political correlation" just a video of people dancing and having fun! a lot of the comment share their brave moments too but yeah never heard of Bareilles song being specifically released for the reason you mentioned.
This song makes me cry almost every time I hear it. It hits close to home because my cousin committed suicide in 2014. I miss him a lot and this song was played at his funeral. I love you, Timmy. May you rest in peace. I will be brave for you ❤
This year I left my abusive and toxic relationship, after 5 years on it, and this song came on Spotify like the most played song in my playlist. Yep I was brave this year 🥺❤️
I just went home exhausted from work when this song was released, it came with a lyric video and best believe it was the hardest I've cried as an adult at that time. That day, I decided to stan her forever.
Both my mom and uncle had Covid. My uncle had it so severe the doctors didn't think he was going to live. And my mom had it mild but it was still pretty bad. My uncle and mom both survived but it was a very hard time for my whole family. Especially me, my dad, and my 2 brothers 1 whom has autism and barley understood the situation. He'd ask for my mom everyday and all I could tell him was mama wasn't home. It hurt saying that bit there was no other way for me to tell it to him. She was in hospital for a few weeks and my uncle was in hospital for a few months, both seemed like years. We cried every single night. I got to a point of depression I just stopped eating and drinking and all I could do was cry. It got to the point my dad threatened that if I didn't eat or drink anything he was going to call my grandmother and she would've told my mom so I had to force myself to eat and drink, even though it was only a few bites a day and I drank 2 bottles of water or juice a day. I'd literally only be able to eat 2 containers of Jell-O and that's it. We do this thing with my autistic brother before bed where he says everybody's names and when he'll see them the next day, wether it be in the morning or after work. My mom is a stay home mom so he is used to being with or around her most of the day. All he would do is say our names then ask for my mom and all I could tell him, as I've said, is mama isn't home and he'd look at me like he really missed her, which we all did. My mom came home Easter morning. We didn't think she'd be home by Easter so we thought we weren't going to have 1 last year. But my grandmother posted a thing on FaceBook to raise awareness and we got 12 big baskets filled to the rims of each 1 with stuff and candy from other parts of the family, friends, friends of people in my family, and friends of friends. And when my autistic brother came downstairs and saw her walk in the door, he looked at her, smiled, and said excitedly "Hi buddy!'. My mom always calls him her buddy. My uncle came home a few weeks after. It's still a very hard time for me and my family to think about and I do still cry every once in a while when I do, but sometimes I like to look back at those things and think to myself "Damn I'm a strong willed girl. I've pulled through a lot of shit.". Which is true and I still am, I've had a bunch of health complications my whole life that are only getting worse as the weeks go, from chest pains to being anemic, etc. I've been going under a lot of doctors appointments my whole like and we are continuing our quest and my journey to finding out what things are wrong, why these all these things are happening, and what needs to be done. My mom posts updates on my situations and friends, family, my boyfriend, and even people me and my mom don't even know at all have wished me well and hope I get well. And my friends, family, my boyfriend, and those people me and my mom don't know have been by my side, some just emotionally and some both emotionally and physically, every single step of the way. It's been a very long and wild ride for all of us, especially me, but I know I'm not alone and there will always be someone, anyone, there I can talk to face to face or even over the phone or through text messages if I need to because they love me and care about me and I will always understand there are people going through a hell of a lot worse things than I can even imagine and that's saying something there. This song is 1 of the few things other than the people that love and care about me that encourage me to keep pushing through and always be even at least a little bit brave, even if you're going through shit and are really scared. Which I ain't gonna lie, I was scared when my mom and uncle had Covid and I sure as hell am scared now with all the shit I'm dealing with now. But in the end, even though I'm very stressed and emotional, all that stress and emotional will be worth it in the end because I know they aren't going to stop until they find out what my problems are and a way to resolve them. All the doctors I've ever went to because of these issues have told me that a lot so yes, I'm still scared, stressed, tired because of my problems plus the fact I have ADHD and Insomnia on top of all these other problems, and emotional but it did put me at ease a little. I was brave then and all these years of going through this shit with my health and even though I'm still going through all this shit, I can be and will continue to be brave no matter how much longer I have to keep it up for.
She went to my high school and paid for us to get a new music building which I get to use every single day🤩it's truly amazing that she remembers what got her to where she is!
You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do When they settle 'neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down By the enemy Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing Bow down to the mighty But don't run, stop holding your tongue Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave Innocence, your history of silence Won't do you any good Did you think it would?

Emma Viola exactly its not about anything bad its inspiration be brave!say what you wanna be seen brave its a good song and its one of my favorite songs and bruno mars today my life begins i also like the song by lorde Team
This song really inspires me and I can't stop listening to it cause I use to be so shy afraid I felt like I couldn't do anything right I couldn't do the impossible but now I do things I never thought I could I'm more open and I am not afraid anymore ever since I Hurd this song I feel like I can do anything thank you Sara ❤️💕💞💝💘💖💗
Bella Lewis I am starting to let go of my fear too. I am starting to dance and sing infront of people and I never thought I could do that. I love to dance and sing and I have been doing it for 5 five years in secret and now I am letting it out!😀 I am doing the talent show at the end of the year and I am super excited!😊💓❤
lyrics- You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do And they settle 'neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down By the enemy Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing Bow down to the mighty Don't run, stop holding your tongue Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave Innocence, your history of silence Won't do you any good Did you think it would?

This song. Damn. So many people are able to do amazing things but don't say or do them because of thefear of what people will say or do. This is an incredible message and the video... Damn I can't stop playing either the video or the song. It's VERY catchy.
This song is beautiful, yet painful to me, I want to speak up, to let the words fall out, but i have fear of how others will react when speaking in person i'm afraid that what i say will come out wrong, i fear my own mind... i have no problem with my actions, it's my words that i have trouble using, with actions, you can apologize and often say you didnt mean it, and people will act like it didnt happen. but words, words stick, you have control of you vocals and you cant accidentally say something that would embarass yourself, once your words are out, they're out and done... they're permenant, that terrifies me
The Redstoner Hey there, You are not alone. For most of my life i had the exact same thoughts until. I started following a new motto in life. LIFE IS ALWAYS BETTER, WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN (i know its pretty straightforward). Do not care what anyone else says, just let it out. I agree words cannot be undone, but they can be fixed, forgiven and forgotten. Just as the song states, you have to let it go, don't care about others and do what makes you happy(and be brave)! HAVE A GREAT DAY, AND A GREAT LIFE.
I love how in this video there are actual REAL people dancing, not glitzy, perfect background dancers. This video is just so awesome, I love how happy everyone is =D
Bluespirit12345 Basically, the video and the song is saying you shouldn't be afraid. In the video the people are dancing alone out in public. Something not many people would even consider because they would be afraid of embarrassment or being judged. Overall, you shouldn't care what other people say about you or think about you and you shouldn't be afraid to be yourself or be afraid to do whatever you want that makes you happy. Understand? :D
I do that too sometimes, and for the same reason you did. I totally relate to your conclusion. Unfortunately, all too often what I experience is the most bratty, stuck up, small minded, humorless, presumptuous, judgmental, p!ss poor excuses for human beings ever. It’s like the same people who spout this whole “Be yourself” “Speak your truth” meme via inspirational quotes on social media, t shirts etc. react very poorly when they see their own advice applied in the real world. I encourage anyone who knows first hand what I’m talking about to go out and genuinely express their authentic self zero eff’s given at least once every couple weeks. The sharp tongue lashings and emotional blows will toughen you mentally so that you can respond more and more proactively every next time it happens. These pompous clowns deserve to have their own hypocrisy rubbed in their face much more often. If you’ve never done this before, there’s a decent chance you’ll be paralyzed with fear in the beginning. So start by approaching one person and say something along the lines of, “What’s up, you having a good time?” Then gradually build from there.
dedicated my dad who i love very much..doesnt speak his mind and seems to be stuck in life...i hope one day he can speak out about how he truly feels and get out of his rut
How lucky he is to have an angel like you who feels and cares and appreciates him even when he is hidden! Sweetie, maybe you could build up the courage and encourage him to take that first step towards happiness, no matter how small. I know it's not easy, but success comes in baby steps, and every step keeps you moving forward.
+Gao Li Well yeah, guys are supposed to be stronger and less emotional not true tho. But a lot of males myself included feel a difficulty in expressing their emotions to others
Honestly This song is basically saying Be yourself Who cares what everyone else is thinking about you You do you my friend Don't let anyone take away what makes you, you
This is literally my anthem. I've been bullied in every single school I've been to and everytime I listen to this song I just feel UNSTOPPABLE. like no one can get in my way anymore THIS SONG HELPS PEOPLE
I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this, so many times, sweetheart! You deserve much better. Remember, they are showing exactly who they are - empty inside. You ARE incredibly brave to keep getting every day & doing your v best. You are worthy & YOU ARE LOVED! Always talk to your parents or a kind teacher if it becomes too bad. You shouldn’t have to live that way & schools should have a zero tolerance policy for bullying behavior. Keep your chin up & be brave. You are worth it! 💕
Because we all deny a part of ourselves to be accepted by society and not seen as insane. None of us want to be cast out by our social circles and fear the repercussions of tapping into ourselves and what we really want to do while in public. We want to openly be ourselves. For example the people dancing in this video, many of those people were not dancing at a professional level and humans are quick to make toxic remarks and put an individual's imperfections that they are already sensitive about on display and blow them out of proportion to get a laugh from others while tearing you to pieces in the process. We fear the social rejection that comes from others and choose to shut down and cut ourselves off from what makes us truly happy out of fear instead of trying to better ourselves. Because by trying to better ourselves we risk being seen and having word or videos spread of us doing things that make us happy. Like singing or dancing poorly. No one is born a great singer and no one is born a great dancer but these two things are what define us as humans. All across the world every group of humans have ancestors who sang and danced. At our core it is what makes us human. We all unconsciously know that music is a part of us even if it isn't the most important thing to you. Maybe your thing is egaming, or writing, or any other number of things that you are too afraid to out on display yourself for fear of cruel comments. The reason that this song hits everyone so hard is because we all have something that we love that we feel isn't good enough to share with the world so we never do. And that is why this song hits us so hard because we want to be great, we want to put ourselves out there so we can actively better ourselves. And we shouldn't allow the bitter hearts to dictate what we do in our free time.
Same! I started tearing up when nobody at the gym didn't join the guy in the red shirt. Also because I feel like I could never do something as brave as this.
I used to be shy, but ever since I heard this song I learned to speak out and I made a lot of friends now I speak in front of the whole class without getting scared.
+Spirits _ Ghosts _ Souls _ Halloween well I am still shy I only got one friend and I get bullied I tell my friend (note:Can't say her real name so i'll say her youtube name) Well I told Dj Rinna Holly that she should tell a teacher that she's being bullied. And I don't I hide my fears away.
Someone told me a few days ago that they were ashamed of the person I was becoming and I was brave and stood up for myself. This song is amazing! Thank you all sooo much for the support I'm beginning to love myself!
It's not up to anyone else to say what you are becoming, only you know who you are and will be! Whoever said it to obviously doesn't like to hang out with anyone as awesome as you because he dislikes himself
Read someone said this song was meant for gay and lesbians to speak up for themselves,but i don't see it as being just for gay and lesbians. I think this song really fits just about any situation, where someone feels oppressed and put down whether its a family member, a coworker, a boss, or a bully at school. think this song and Sara says be brave and don't be afraid to stand up for what you feel is right.
This is my go to fight song period my battle cry! When I was keeping my mom at home with dementia and fighting off all the family who wanted me to put her in the home for two years, I bet I played this song 50 times. When I need to be brave, I put on this songand my blood pressure goes up and I’m fucking ready to be brave. Thank you for the ones who wrote this song and made it possible. Thank you to the universe who needs more brave people with integrity intact.
She wrote this song for a friend of hers who was struggling coming out of the closet as gay. I like the message that the song sends to everyone who is struggling to accept who they are. Just be brave.

I'm at one of the weakest phases of my life. When she said ' I wanna see you be brave.' I just started crying. When no one else is saying it to you. It means a lot even if it's in just a song.
Please stay strong! Everything will be better💗
I'm sorry you feel that way but at least you realize it. The media will tell you, that you are miserable - don't subscribe to their BS! Live y our life and stop paying attention to jerks.
You got that right!!! I’m thankful for the pieces of art and music that come out at the times that they do
@Annelisemu Coolname
I hope you're Ok.
I've just come out the other side of one of the darkest times of my life; walked through fire ...
If you need a friend to listen, contact Me.
You're important. Never forget that.
I'm also crying while listening to this, .. because I Was brave.
Finally.
Keep being brave and strong! Keep fighting! You never know whom is watching you and needing YOU to be brave!
The fact that this song is still everyone's favorite after 11 years is just..

I wanna see you be free Amy :)
This woman is Totally Underrated as a Singer!!!
The most underrated singer in existence if you ask me. She sounds amazing live and writes all of her music. She is also an amazing author! Her book truly sounds like her and it's so great!
Yet the song is based on a total lie. Women do NOT want you to “say what you wanna say” or “be brave”. They want you to say what they want to hear. The song should be titled “Say what I wanna hear” or “Be brave in a way I approve of”.
And it also helps significantly if you’re good looking.
@@PlomostriumGrastipulum you're talking about Bitches. Women are strong enough to take the truth
@@PlomostriumGrastipulum wait ... Whatttttt
@@PlomostriumGrastipulum Unfortunately, you are horribly mistaken. The song was inspired by a friend's stuggle to come out as gay. As much as I want to empathize with what ever caused you to form your incorrect opinion, the way you portray your perspective leaves a a horrible taste on everybody's mouth. Hope you find a way to cure the bitterness in your heart.
Literally one of the funnest music videos I have ever seen. Nothing crazy. No special effects. Just a bunch of normal people dancing and enjoying their day.
But it still makes me cry.
This song is EVERYTHING!!!..I PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER..as I left my 28 yr abusive marriage...I'd also had a horrible abusive childhood...horrible father..then molested by stepfather...then when I finally was free and on my own..I was diagnosed with breast cancer...4 months chemo and 4 weeks radiation...I believe your body responds to stress with sicknesses...that was mine..I am now 5 yrs cancer free..but just had back surgery...her song gives me strength to speak up finally when I never had a voice before..I wish I could thank her...
I guess what I meant to say is something as simple as a song can be such a powerful tool for some of us...☺
I am proud of you!! Stay strong!!!❤️
This song is Something alright it cured you after you went through a series of unfortsnute events
Omg Stay strong you can do this! we all can

Be brave? Yes!

This virus has killed a lot of people so far. However, I'm with you to not use more protective gear than you need to. Those in the medical sectors and funeral services also need them and we're running out! Please remember that stockpiling anything selfishly benefits one at the risk of others who really need them NOW.

This song make my days better when I'm having a horrible day
same
I also listen to this to lift my spirits after a tough day.
I can relate
same.. this song just have that thing that makes you light up again
Same but lately because I have my boyfriend I haven't had a bad day
I am 36 years old and I have suffered from social anxiety all my life.
Until half a year ago I decided to start living; Making the decision to come out of the darkness was difficult, you can't imagine how much. It is a constant fight with my mind, counteracting the irrational thoughts that come to destroy me, this war seems to have no end...
But I have found along the way tools that help me continue standing despite everything, and among those tools that help you face the day to day life is this song, a thousand and a thousand thanks to its interpreter for the wonderful work of art that he shared with us, you will not believe how some lyrics accompanied by a beautiful voice and melody can save your day, save your life. life... On the days when anxiety comes to knock me down with all its strength, this song has made it possible for me to get out through crying everything that is stuck in my soul, hurting me, by letting out what hurts I can get up with new strength to continue, to fight, to live...
I write this with tears in my eyes because only those of us who suffer from social phobia know the hell this means, and how brave we have to be every day to carry out tasks that seem simple to the rest of the world.
A thousand thanks to this song that encourages us to continue standing, to be strong and not lose hope, because we are important, we are part of a whole and we are brave!
I wanna see you be brave! 👏🏻🤝🏻💪🏻❤️
Keep improving. I am with you buddy.
Keep strong and enjoy live🎉

Brave
Sara Bareilles
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
But don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Innocence, your history of silence
Won't do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you

Michelle ~ that is so awesome!! I can easily see how this would do that. I relied on a variety of songs to get me through those days, depending on my mood. I loved "Better Things" by the Kinks.
Hope you're doing even better now...for me, it's hard to remember I was ever married to that jerk!! 😁
She is so criminally underrated 🔥🔥
The weird thing about the modern world is how older videos are starting to look brand new. Literally looks like it was just filmed, but it's nearly a decade old.

Such a true song for now days!!!!
Wow! I thought this was a new song! Wow ten years old!!!!!
Sara Bareilles is so underrated it hurts. Seems like majority of people only knows her because of Love Song and Brave. I hope they also take time to dive into her other music as well--she has a new album called More Love and it's absolutely fantastic! Please spread the word :)
I admittedly dont know many of her songs, but orpheus is definitely my favourite
I don't see why people should feel bad knowing her only because of love song and brave, those are her songs too. idk why you should be so negative about it.
Why should I feel bad about only knowing a few songs from her. Don’t get me wrong they’re really good but seriously mate cool down
Tbh I didn't know she sang this despite hearing it on the radio for a million times I feel embarrassed 😂 I knew her from Gravity and She Used To Be Mine...oh and Love Song ofc teehee!
Right on ! I have , I'm 66 years old and own every thing she has ever put out ! SHE IS PHENOMENAL !

It ain't easy Sara but your song has inspired me
I sang this to my kids when they were younger. Before they would ride the bus to school. They were afraid to ride it. Due to bullies and just being kiddos. So before the bus came. I'd play this and sing it to them. They are adults now. And still talk about how this song gave them courage. ( just wanted to share this) 🥰
Thank you for being part of the beauty that helps them move through this big old challenging world.💛
That's so sweet. What an awesome parent
That’s awesome you gave them courage.
You go queen 😊
I'm currently in 8th grade rn in late 2024. This song is really beautiful and nostalgic for me because in elementary school my teachers would play music like this. Love it lol ❤
My daughter has to be the Bravest woman i have ever created, at the tender age of 14 years old we lost her father, in grade school she was picked on, on her 20th birthday she was kidnapped, assaulted and held against her will for 16 hours before she could escape, I've seen many use her like she was a piece of garbage, but yet my beautiful butterfly has been able to pull her life back together all by herself, brush off all she has been thru to become BRAVE once more, I love you Tatum and im so proud of you, this song is for you baby, Love Mum❤❤❤❤
Awesome mother's have really awesome children
Good work MOM
Hugs to mom and TATUM
Good on ye! That woman sounds like she’s been through some shit, I wish the best for you and your daughter.
I'm so happy to hear how brave your daughter is and how proud of her you are. I've had similar things happen and haven't had support in my life. It lets me have a little peace and grace knowing that there are others out there like this who are finally getting what they deserve ❤️
Sending so much love to your brave daughter. Some people get dealt things they so don't deserve
@@marshall1003 what Marshall said. 💖👊🏻
Sometimes I think that people think I'm sad or lonely because I'm introverted. I love my life. I just HATE talking to people. It's not like talking to people is scary or anything, it's just very tiring for some reason, literally like I've just run a mile. I'm happy with my small group of close friends and that's all the socializing I need.
Eric Weston I can identify completely. I am at ease doing lectures in front of a whole auditorium, but in general I also avoid people, because it drains me. I can go for weeks without a social. Just give me a bed and a book and I'm content. We aren't antisocial, just selective in our socializing:)
Eric Weston I can relate,I refuse to go any get together where I have to communicate with a lot of people,I need to prepare myself,convince myself even to go to the new computer class I joined,urgh I am just too lazy to write all the problems I faced and still face due to my shyness and introvertism..but I think I am slowly getting better at communicating, because I am going to attend the teachers day program ,which I wd most definitely skip if it was 2 yrs ago,not participating tho,my severe glossophobia won't let me do that!😂
But one thing that helped me whenever I hesitate or feel shy to do anything is.. *what's the worst that wd happen if I do this?* Don't know about others but this made me do things that I normally shy out from!
I can totally relate to what you are saying. But i dont think the message of this song is for us (introverts) to be more social. I think it's more about motivating people to be their true selves or do what they want to do and not to fear it or fear what others may think or say. And I think it can apply to many situations, e.g. coming out of the closet, or standing up to a bully, or living your passion, or whatever... be brave
Haha yeah I totally agree

EEeerr our system is shot to bits when words become a sign of bravery?
Nick H we are human beings we have a gift of being able to communicate by language as evolution has allowed us to evolve into thinking communicating beings there is no need for violence . When and only when that ability breaks down is there a need for action. . Personally I'm a peace lover... So many, myself included have been afraid to speak up against those that should know better. ..
Nick H you know Nick. It's not what you say. . It is how you say it. ..
Samantha Roberts AAAhhh And maturity is knowing the original intent of the message and logically reasoning the information contained it it.
Nick H that's how wars are started... Non-Clear communication. .. You can do better than that-surely!
my teachers played this when i was in 4th grade at the end of the year, like 4 or 5 years ago, when one of my closer friends had cancer. they played this song, i think, when she told the class that she wasnt gonna do chemo anymore bc she wanted to live out her last days in peace bc she was gonna die anyway. so whenever i hear this song i always start to cry bc it reminds me of her and i miss her so much. she passed away at the end of our 4th grade year 😥😥😥

One of the most underrated artists. Sad that people will consider this political when this is about equality and having self confidence in yourself.
And here were are a decade later and still continuing to fight the fight for it, sadly.
But as Miss Bareilles put so well, now is the time to "show how big our Brave is..."
We all empower each other to let that light that is within us to shine forth and expel the darkness from the world.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
*And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.*"
--Marianne Williamson
"*It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
In the center of the fire with me
And not shrink back.*"
--Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Who else was biting back tears as all the memories came flooding back
I just went home exhausted from work when this song was released, it came with a lyric video and best believe it was the hardest I've cried as an adult at that time. That day, I decided to stan her forever.
Me
Both my mom and uncle had Covid. My uncle had it so severe the doctors didn't think he was going to live. And my mom had it mild but it was still pretty bad. My uncle and mom both survived but it was a very hard time for my whole family. Especially me, my dad, and my 2 brothers 1 whom has autism and barley understood the situation. He'd ask for my mom everyday and all I could tell him was mama wasn't home. It hurt saying that bit there was no other way for me to tell it to him. She was in hospital for a few weeks and my uncle was in hospital for a few months, both seemed like years. We cried every single night. I got to a point of depression I just stopped eating and drinking and all I could do was cry. It got to the point my dad threatened that if I didn't eat or drink anything he was going to call my grandmother and she would've told my mom so I had to force myself to eat and drink, even though it was only a few bites a day and I drank 2 bottles of water or juice a day. I'd literally only be able to eat 2 containers of Jell-O and that's it. We do this thing with my autistic brother before bed where he says everybody's names and when he'll see them the next day, wether it be in the morning or after work. My mom is a stay home mom so he is used to being with or around her most of the day. All he would do is say our names then ask for my mom and all I could tell him, as I've said, is mama isn't home and he'd look at me like he really missed her, which we all did. My mom came home Easter morning. We didn't think she'd be home by Easter so we thought we weren't going to have 1 last year. But my grandmother posted a thing on FaceBook to raise awareness and we got 12 big baskets filled to the rims of each 1 with stuff and candy from other parts of the family, friends, friends of people in my family, and friends of friends. And when my autistic brother came downstairs and saw her walk in the door, he looked at her, smiled, and said excitedly "Hi buddy!'. My mom always calls him her buddy. My uncle came home a few weeks after. It's still a very hard time for me and my family to think about and I do still cry every once in a while when I do, but sometimes I like to look back at those things and think to myself "Damn I'm a strong willed girl. I've pulled through a lot of shit.". Which is true and I still am, I've had a bunch of health complications my whole life that are only getting worse as the weeks go, from chest pains to being anemic, etc. I've been going under a lot of doctors appointments my whole like and we are continuing our quest and my journey to finding out what things are wrong, why these all these things are happening, and what needs to be done. My mom posts updates on my situations and friends, family, my boyfriend, and even people me and my mom don't even know at all have wished me well and hope I get well. And my friends, family, my boyfriend, and those people me and my mom don't know have been by my side, some just emotionally and some both emotionally and physically, every single step of the way. It's been a very long and wild ride for all of us, especially me, but I know I'm not alone and there will always be someone, anyone, there I can talk to face to face or even over the phone or through text messages if I need to because they love me and care about me and I will always understand there are people going through a hell of a lot worse things than I can even imagine and that's saying something there. This song is 1 of the few things other than the people that love and care about me that encourage me to keep pushing through and always be even at least a little bit brave, even if you're going through shit and are really scared. Which I ain't gonna lie, I was scared when my mom and uncle had Covid and I sure as hell am scared now with all the shit I'm dealing with now. But in the end, even though I'm very stressed and emotional, all that stress and emotional will be worth it in the end because I know they aren't going to stop until they find out what my problems are and a way to resolve them. All the doctors I've ever went to because of these issues have told me that a lot so yes, I'm still scared, stressed, tired because of my problems plus the fact I have ADHD and Insomnia on top of all these other problems, and emotional but it did put me at ease a little. I was brave then and all these years of going through this shit with my health and even though I'm still going through all this shit, I can be and will continue to be brave no matter how much longer I have to keep it up for.

Thank you for choosing this song to be part of your old song session
She went to my high school and paid for us to get a new music building which I get to use every single day🤩it's truly amazing that she remembers what got her to where she is!
This song is so meaningful. Nothing can be more meaningful than this. I'm feeling so nostalgic. Oh god. Sara bareilles is so underrated
Not anymore! She's unique, intriging choice of lyrics & music! She has her own special style!
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
But don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Innocence, your history of silence
Won't do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you

(song ends)
this guy doin a video?
i don't know
did he take a, like the wrong pill?
maybe he took the wrong pill.
This song. Damn. So many people are able to do amazing things but don't say or do them because of thefear of what people will say or do. This is an incredible message and the video... Damn I can't stop playing either the video or the song. It's VERY catchy.
This song is beautiful, yet painful to me,
I want to speak up, to let the words fall out,
but i have fear of how others will react when speaking in person
i'm afraid that what i say will come out wrong, i fear my own mind...
i have no problem with my actions, it's my words that i have trouble using,
with actions, you can apologize and often say you didnt mean it, and people will act like it didnt happen. but words, words stick, you have control of you vocals and you cant accidentally say something that would embarass yourself, once your words are out, they're out and done... they're permenant, that terrifies me
You are not alone
Same
The Redstoner Send them a txt
it's not quite the same, it doesnt have the same power or meaning,
The Redstoner Hey there,
You are not alone. For most of my life i had the exact same thoughts until. I started following a new motto in life. LIFE IS ALWAYS BETTER, WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN (i know its pretty straightforward). Do not care what anyone else says, just let it out. I agree words cannot be undone, but they can be fixed, forgiven and forgotten. Just as the song states, you have to let it go, don't care about others and do what makes you happy(and be brave)!
HAVE A GREAT DAY, AND A GREAT LIFE.
I love how in this video there are actual REAL people dancing, not glitzy, perfect background dancers. This video is just so awesome, I love how happy everyone is =D
But dey are so glitzy and perfect!
Well, I mean by society's standards nowadays. =) Heck, there's even an elderly woman as a background dancer, and that's awesome! =D
But she so hawt and glitzy like everybody in ze video.
I really don't get the point of the video. It doesn't match the message of the video.
Bluespirit12345 Basically, the video and the song is saying you shouldn't be afraid. In the video the people are dancing alone out in public. Something not many people would even consider because they would be afraid of embarrassment or being judged. Overall, you shouldn't care what other people say about you or think about you and you shouldn't be afraid to be yourself or be afraid to do whatever you want that makes you happy. Understand? :D
I actually did this in a mall just to see how many people would judge because I'm confident and feeling myself. Seriously too many people
Feeling yourself in the mall? That was brave!
I do that too sometimes, and for the same reason you did. I totally relate to your conclusion.
Unfortunately, all too often what I experience is the most bratty, stuck up, small minded, humorless, presumptuous, judgmental, p!ss poor excuses for human beings ever. It’s like the same people who spout this whole “Be yourself” “Speak your truth” meme via inspirational quotes on social media, t shirts etc. react very poorly when they see their own advice applied in the real world.
I encourage anyone who knows first hand what I’m talking about to go out and genuinely express their authentic self zero eff’s given at least once every couple weeks. The sharp tongue lashings and emotional blows will toughen you mentally so that you can respond more and more proactively every next time it happens. These pompous clowns deserve to have their own hypocrisy rubbed in their face much more often. If you’ve never done this before, there’s a decent chance you’ll be paralyzed with fear in the beginning. So start by approaching one person and say something along the lines of, “What’s up, you having a good time?” Then gradually build from there.
I live in like the most judgemental country so i don't it's a good idea here
So i don't think*
What you thought was them judging was really them hating themselves that they couldn't find themselves like you did. Trust me I've been on both sides.
This song has me conquering my depression this year I am so brave and strong I can get through anything
Who else is listing to this to keep themselves in good spirits and keeping them in a right mind set to not get brought down by the news of the virus
Definitely. Sara Bareilles also got tested positive for COVID-19 :(

Im not. Im watching this because I realized she sung "She Used to be Mine" From the Waitress

dedicated my dad who i love very much..doesnt speak his mind and seems to be stuck in life...i hope one day he can speak out about how he truly feels and get out of his rut
How lucky he is to have an angel like you who feels and cares and appreciates him even when he is hidden! Sweetie, maybe you could build up the courage and encourage him to take that first step towards happiness, no matter how small. I know it's not easy, but success comes in baby steps, and every step keeps you moving forward.

+Gao Li Well yeah, guys are supposed to be stronger and less emotional not true tho. But a lot of males myself included feel a difficulty in expressing their emotions to others

THIS SONG HELPS PEOPLE
I’m sorry that’s happened/is happening to you. Be brave, love.
I know about you are talking about Be Brave :)
I feel bad that you had to go through that! Stay happy and be brave! ❤️
I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this, so many times, sweetheart! You deserve much better. Remember, they are showing exactly who they are - empty inside. You ARE incredibly brave to keep getting every day & doing your v best. You are worthy & YOU ARE LOVED! Always talk to your parents or a kind teacher if it becomes too bad. You shouldn’t have to live that way & schools should have a zero tolerance policy for bullying behavior. Keep your chin up & be brave. You are worth it! 💕
why am i crying after listening to this music.
Because we all deny a part of ourselves to be accepted by society and not seen as insane. None of us want to be cast out by our social circles and fear the repercussions of tapping into ourselves and what we really want to do while in public. We want to openly be ourselves. For example the people dancing in this video, many of those people were not dancing at a professional level and humans are quick to make toxic remarks and put an individual's imperfections that they are already sensitive about on display and blow them out of proportion to get a laugh from others while tearing you to pieces in the process. We fear the social rejection that comes from others and choose to shut down and cut ourselves off from what makes us truly happy out of fear instead of trying to better ourselves. Because by trying to better ourselves we risk being seen and having word or videos spread of us doing things that make us happy. Like singing or dancing poorly. No one is born a great singer and no one is born a great dancer but these two things are what define us as humans. All across the world every group of humans have ancestors who sang and danced. At our core it is what makes us human. We all unconsciously know that music is a part of us even if it isn't the most important thing to you. Maybe your thing is egaming, or writing, or any other number of things that you are too afraid to out on display yourself for fear of cruel comments. The reason that this song hits everyone so hard is because we all have something that we love that we feel isn't good enough to share with the world so we never do. And that is why this song hits us so hard because we want to be great, we want to put ourselves out there so we can actively better ourselves. And we shouldn't allow the bitter hearts to dictate what we do in our free time.
Hey, if you're reading this, just know that if something good makes you cry then you have a beautiful heart.
Same! I started tearing up when nobody at the gym didn't join the guy in the red shirt. Also because I feel like I could never do something as brave as this.

Read someone said this song was meant for gay and lesbians to speak up for themselves,but i don't see it as being just for gay and lesbians.
