When I feel myself intensely dissociating after a hard day, while I ride the subway in NY, hearing the intense screeching of the rails, I listen to this and it brings me back to the present. It really helps me cope with my PTSD. Thank you Ingrid Michaelson
Everyone, remember to be ok! You are perfect no matter what and don't belive people who say you aren't, forget about the bully's, and take your time to be yourself, because you are unique, and no one can change that! 😊😊😊
I love this song.... I don't think it's an inspirational song. I think it's a state of being. She captures perfectly the sadness and the numbness that a person who is chronically depressed feels when they are trying to come out of it... You tell yourself over and over again that you are okay, yet your insides feel numb. You want to feel something so bad that it makes your heart hurt. But all you feel is numb. This song reminds me of a very dark place I was in, and helps me to remember that I never want to go back there.
In 2010 I had my first kid and I struggled deeply with ppd. I would hear this song all the time and it would be like this tiny little glimpse of sunshine. 2 years later I was about to have my 2nd kid. I was nervous about the labor (the first had been really difficult) and potential worsening of ppd. One day at work I suspected my water may have broke (slow leak). I left work early and realized we didn’t have any baby clothes for her yet as this was early. So I walked over to Kohls to get her a few pjs to at least have something. While walking through the store this song came on the radio. Immediately I knew I would see my baby girl very soon and I knew it would be ok.
I agree..... This song is sad beyond words... I don't get inspired from it like some of the comments. It reminds me of a sad, dark place I was in when all I wanted was to be okay and to feel anything... Ingrid captures the emotionlessness yet turmoil of being incredibly depressed...
Here in 2024 at almost 16 years old. I randomly was laying in bed last night and thought of this song. My mom used to play this in her bathroom while she was getting ready and when i was around 4 i would dance my heart out to this. Brings back the good times :))
sometimes you just cant stop life shit from happening to you, so you wish you will be ok to deal with all this. this song does not tell you to be upset or angry about the situation, just to get out of the situation, learn from it, and be okay. thats why i love this song!
Lately i've been feeling worthless with no use in life, but when i remembered this song i decided to listen to it, and you know what, it made me cry. Not because it reminded me of my thoughts an emotions, but because it reminded me that although life can spit in your eye and kick you in the teeth, you'll always Be Ok no matter what. Thank you, Ingrid :')

I just lost my Grandpa to Cancer. It was hard on all of us to see him go. He had always been so strong and then all of a sudden he was so weak. This song represents what every one who has been touched by cancer (even the victims family) wants, just to "Be Okay".
This song helped me deal with abdominal cancer. All I wanted to do was be ok. When I heard this song, I cried. I knew that I would be ok & I am. Ingrid, thank you for shining a light into my life & helping me believe.
I remember this Song was on an *advert* in the *UK*! *:)* I can't remember what it was for. Could have been for a car or energy?? Anyone know/Remember? I think it was between *2008-2010* Anyway, I have *Loved* this song *ever* *since*! *:)*
Heard this while watching Hope for Paws and googled the song. It is a gorgeous song and it really sits with me at the moment - depression - it is exactly trying to be ok for the day. It sounded familiar. I am in Aus - think they used it in an ad - hope you got the royalties for it - its a lovely song

I struggle with Major Depressive Disorder and Panic Disorder, this song makes me feel okay and makes me feel the day. :)
I think I'll be ok.
Just get up and go downtown....
Everyone, remember to be ok! You are perfect no matter what and don't belive people who say you aren't, forget about the bully's, and take your time to be yourself, because you are unique, and no one can change that! 😊😊😊
+Liv Smile I really needed that today, thank you
Thanks! ❤️

@Laverne Johnson youre an asshole. But hey. Everything's gonna be ok.

Whenever I see Ingrid wear her glasses, she always reminds me of the cute 4th grade teacher I fell in love with when I was a kid
This song can really help a person with depression.
Omg...absolutely
Or worsen it because of how shitty it sounds...
Love her voice
Another inspirational song is My Best Days are Ahead of me by Danny gokey
Kiki
Very inspirational for anyone going through depression, thanks so much for writing this beautiful song

Omg I didn't know this was by her. :)
I love Ingrid Michaelson. She's so unconventionally beautiful :)
I love how simple this is
I never realized that I've heard her songs before. I faintly remember them
Ashley Epperson ME TOOO MAN, OHH MY GOD
This song means something different to me since I've fallen ill. I never realized how sad it is.

This is my new favorite song, my mother has had cancer twice so, this song means alot to her
I was in the middle of a meltdown about school and this song made it better :)
I've been wondering what this feeling was. Grabbing back the pieces of your heart.
How lovely to know it's not a foreign feeling. 🎉
💯💚

I always love the lyrics to her songs. This is such a simple song, but has so much meaning, and the lyrics are just so true. I can definitely relate.
I found this song on the Decoy Bride soundtrack! Cute movie with David Tennant! :)
All too rarely, someone refreshing comes along who is simply RAW TALENT - Ingrid Michaelson is all that & more!!!

Are you from the "lyrics" vid
a sarah lee pound cake, easy to get and quite delicious

I just wanna be your bae be your bae be your bae
It reminds me of someone being told the same thing over and over again, unaware what is truly right, and what's there for them.

I know it's damn near a decade later but I hope you're good mate 💜
Hope you're ok today

yeah i hear this song several times a day at work and i can only empathize
OMG, INGRID, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
How did I not realise until how beautiful this song truly is?
She has a beautiful voice
Ingrid SHOULD be as famous as the rest. She's got awesome songs that make sense.
I love this song on its own but nostalgia takes it to another level.. takes me back to my first year of college! Crazy how time flies
I watched Decoy Bride for David Tennant, but it ended up being awesomely cute, and now i'm looking up the music.
I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today
I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts
I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be okay
Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts
Just give them back to me please
Just give me back my pieces
Just give them back to me please
And let me hold my broken parts
Coz I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today
I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be okay
Know that maybe I will be okay
Know that maybe I will be okay
***** perhaps...it is just because that I am not that okay XD
this girl doesn't get enough recognition . I WANT YOU ON THE TV cuz i love your singing.
The most mind numbing song with the video to match. I had to hear this when I worked in the mall. It's cruelness to employees.
Ah Ingrid Michaelson - this song makes me so happy - I love to sing to it in the car!!!
xxx
Damn Sarah Palin can sing
Looks nothing like Sara Palin.
Get a sense of humor...its fun.
Yup...her beauty matches Sara all right...
I just lost my Grandpa to Cancer. It was hard on all of us to see him go. He had always been so strong and then all of a sudden he was so weak. This song represents what every one who has been touched by cancer (even the victims family) wants, just to "Be Okay".
I hear this everywhere but recently in "The Decoy Bride"
Can wait to see this wonderful artist in concert!!! 21st June couldn't come any faster!!
Better me finding this song 14 years too late than never finding it at all. Great video 👍👍
She has a Beautiful face! Love this song.
I love when an artist can convey exactly what I'm feeling, even when I, myself, am not sure what that feeling is.
THANK YOU INGRID
recently widowed.. this song speaks volumes.. never mind its "simplicity."
This song helped me deal with abdominal cancer. All I wanted to do was be ok. When I heard this song, I cried. I knew that I would be ok & I am.
Ingrid, thank you for shining a light into my life & helping me believe.
she's pretty :) and her singing is amazing
Why isn't this song in the fault in our stars???????
Great song to snap (and sing) to. Love it!
Heard it from WXPN.
I remember this Song was on an *advert* in the *UK*! *:)*
I can't remember what it was for. Could have been for a car or energy?? Anyone know/Remember?

Anyway, I have *Loved* this song *ever* *since*! *:)*
