"Gravity" by Sara Bareilles
"Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
Just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me
And all over me
Oh
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
Just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me
And all over me
I live here on my knees as I
Try to make you see that you're
Everything I think I need
Here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down, ooh
You're keeping me down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're on to me, on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long"
I sang this song today in my voice class. I really love this song. It is so beautiful and so moving and so sad. The gravity of her words are so touching and I feel the emotion in the notes of the piano and of the vocals. This is one of my favorite songs because of that reason. The emotion is just so palpable.
It was really cool to be able to sing this song. I have wanted a chance to sing it ever since I first heard it, but I never had a good occasion to until now. I'm really loving this voice class. :)
--as always
