Why I Love @SaraBareilles.
Bring the bass on, baby! So.. I am loving this song from Sara Bareilles' Kaleidoscope Heart album called Let The Rain. It's definitely one of my favorites now... because of the bass. Hehehe. Er, partly. Mostly because I am so in love with its message. On her Youtube channel she says she wrote this song "about rebirth. It's a theme in my life that keeps coming up and I hold this ideal near and dear to my heart. We all face different challenges and obstacles and it's up to us to decide how to approach them. I'd like to think I'm someone that has the capacity to be brave, but honestly, it's something I work really hard at. This song is about my most profound fears and was ultimately the tool that helped me move past them. Sometimes we have to brave the rain to get to the sun. xo s" Something that I can really relate with with all the fears and worries about the future that I am trying and hopefully will overcome in time. I cry when I feel like it. I cry a lot and that's normal? Yes. It's my way of release and then yes, it gets me back all the reasons in the world... of why I am still holding on, of why I keep on believing that things will be sorted out and will get better in time, of why I won't let go of my dream, of why I still want happiness to be my major emotion and fight bad vibes. Thank you for reminding me that's it's okay to break down and cry sometimes, Sara. Just thank you.Now what's not to love about her, really? One of my musical heroines, she'll always be.
And as for the lyrics...
I wish I were brave
If I owned this city
Then I'd make it behave
And if I were fearless
Then I'd speak my truth
And the world would hear
this
That's what I wish I'd do, yeah
If my hands could hold them you'd see
I'd take all these secrets in me
And I'd move and mold them to be
Something I'd set free
I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time
I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight
I hold on to worry so tight
It's safe in here right next to my heart
Who now shouts at the top of her voice
Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice
And I always felt it before
That the world was filled with much more
Than the drowning soul
I've learned to be
I just need the rain to remind me
I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time
I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
New day. New opportunities to be happy. More time to prepare for what lies ahead six weeks from now. Plenty of reason to be thankful and try to learn to let go of the things which are not much of a big deal and focus. They'd try to bring you down and hurt you and it's up to you if you'll let them. Like Spongebob, I'll irk them with my happiness and positive vibes that they can never have, refuse to have, that they're trying to take away from me but fails miserably and there's nothing wrong with it. And as for me, bye bye, hurt and worries. Yay for a more focused me.
parehos tau na 'Let The Rain' dn ang 1 of my fave songs. sna ito ang nxt music vid nya. pro hndi tau parehos na mahilig sa SpongeBob...
ReplyDeleteOo nga e. I don't think she'll release another one anytime soon though. Pero isa 'to sa favourite ko. Tsaka Hold My Heart at Breathe Again. Ah, i like Patrick Star more than Spongebob really. Ginamit ko lang syang pandescribe nung nararamdaman ko at that moment.

ReplyDeleteOo nga, maganda din yun. I so love Sara. Narinig mo na yung Out of Goodbyes ng Maroon5 pero si Sara yung kasama?
