Two things in life that are not fair: How much talent Sara Bareilles has and how she's not more famous than she currently is.
Rob Sorbo I think the same !!!
true, but granted...why hasn't she followed up her AOTY Grammy-nominated album yet?!?!?
sometimes "being very famous" destroys. She is doing her things she loves and she has her audience.
Her music reach people where her music wants to reach
I think that the fact that she's not mainstream shows how golden she and her talent is in its self. I think there's such beauty in a slightly hidden treasure
she is just the right amount of famous... people know her music, she has an amazing fan base, but can go out and not get hounded by crazy people... i served her at a cafe in NYC and she was able to sit with a friend in a completely full restaurant and not be annoyed every 2 seconds... I think she is PERFECTION!!!
My son was diagnosed with cancer when we he was 2. This song popped up on my KRplus feed during chemo, it was a breath of fresh air to listen and be taken away and forget the treatments for a few minutes.
He’s fine now, but this song still gets me. Thank you Sarah
I'm so happy that he's fine now. I hope this song continues to be an escape even in the toughest of times. It's such a good example of the magic of music!
Sara looked so relaxed. Singing a capella, solo, staying in perfect pitch and perfect diction with the warmest sound and emotion. Sara is so underrated.
I can listen to Sara humming all day, it’s just so peaceful.
Rahul Loves'ThePayne same! If she were to record an album of just humming I’ll be jamming to that 😂
Humming album would be good
dude for real. That other girl damn near ruined the song though. Her vocals just did not mesh with everything else
i listen to sara's humming to sleep:)))
@@JohnLaiomg it’s one of my “lullabies”, too! This, alongside “How to disappear completely” by Radiohead, “Song of Wyoming” by John Denver, and “not alone’ by patty griffin (ok, and a sleeping pill) will knock you right out!
Sara Bareilles has written a lot of really amazing songs but this one is definitely my favorite. It’s just so gorgeous and transports me to an entirely different world.
Kurtsiecolferite Cant even pick one!
I couldn't agree more!
Lovely voice, lovely person!
such a beautiful nostalgia!
One of my forever favorite lullabies
Many people may no realize how dangerous is to sing a capella song when the music enters later on. The risk of losing the correct tone is very high. But here, when the orchestra starts to play, Sara shows how perfect is her pitch. She never sings a note out of tune. And always with that big emotion. A truly singer, musician and song writer. ❤
Good point - but also there's a tone from something constantly playing too, right? That certainly would help anyone
I seem to recall a radio interview of I think Jason Mraz years ago. He was asked if there were any singers he hated (jokingly of course) and he answered “yes, Sara Bareilles, because she has perfect pitch.”
It is true, a slight pitch can be heard in the background. Good ear! @@squidge903
Acoustics, no?
sara, the only artist who's brave enough to start a song at its first 2+ min of the song with just her own voice, without any instruments. this is the reason i really like her.. beautiful person, beautiful voice..
Renzo well simply she's capable of doing that. Her voice are great but what I admire her the most is how she writes amazing piece of music and sings it beautifully ...
so true. that's why i love her. every song she makes has a soul to it, as cheesy as it sounds, it actually melts my heart listing to her songs especially the really sad ones.
Brave, that's the right word
welp, its just a reaction me writing a "cheesy" phrases or words. you know what i mean? don't take it seriously.
Ana Martins i dont consider the song 'cheesy' if that you're proving or anything or am i missing something, i referred the word 'cheesy' to the phrase 'it melts my heart (you know, like 'on the nose sentences')' not to the song. It just my way of saying it, nothing more or nothing behind it.
Edit: and i do acknowledge the songs soulfulness. That is why i like this song.
Whenever I need a soul reset, I just come here, to this wonderful, wonderful and yet again, wonderful masterpiece.
Yes
Ditto!
You got that right!
Me too. This stunning, haunting, poignant, breathtaking performance is timeless to be certain. I listen when I need an emotional vacation from theses exhausting, heartbreaking times we’re living in. I listen when I need to cry cleansing tears. Love & peace to our planet and humanity.
Thanks for saying this. I had started out skipped ahead because it was long. Started over knowing it was worth it.
My mother was diagnosed with cancer two and a half years ago. As her youngest, I took it upon myself to be her primary caretaker, and I threw myself wholly into the honor. I stood by her side the entire time, and one of the things we did most often was drive an hour each way together to her treatments. We would also occasionally just go on drives for fun. I told her about this beautiful song that made me feel joy and sorrow at the same time and she loved it. The song has been a source of sorrow for me, as I imagined my mother, having had kids at a young age, mourning the passing of her youth, and thinking back to a simpler time in her life when she was free. But it has also been a source of joy for me in that my mother is now free from the shackles of her pain. I now think of her getting behind the wheel and simply driving, with no more fear, no more pain.
The most powerful line in this song is “no enemies to call my own, no porch light on to pull me home.” I can think of no happier and sadder single lyric than this. To be without concern, and yet to be alone with no one waiting for you.
All of this emotion is beautiful enough, but when delivered by the amazing voice of Sara Bareilles, it becomes transcendental.
Thank you, Sara. Rest In Peace, Momma Bear ❤
And when I first heard this on her album, the song is actually started with the strike of a match and lighting of a candle. It just absolutely makes the song that much more perfect, somehow.
I teared up reading your dedication to your mom. Your words were beautiful. Sorry for your loss. Your mom still looks after you. ❤
I'm a 55 year old man and happy to admit this performance brought tears to my eyes! Her voice is stunning!
For some reason the line "no porch light on to pull me home" has always hit me in the tear ducts a little.
God bless Sara for writing and sharing so much beautiful music with us.
YES! great line x
Me too!!! Every. Single. Time.
Man, that got me too. "somebody's hands who felt like mine..." "and where I stood was where I was..." too. Just amazing.
That line evokes childhood for me, the best part of my childhood, that is. It brings back a time of innocence when magic seemed possible, a time lost forever.
@@legatofancier I think you've hit on it exactly- the idea that someone put the porch light on FOR you cuz you were out in the world lost in childhood fantasy and you didn't think about leaving a tether and someone is taking care of you without your even asking for it and now I'm just getting really weepy...
I like to think this is what I sound like when I sing to my children
🤣🤣
To them, you do. 😊
then you should get yourself a record deal quickly 😁
no matter what, to them you do ♥️
@@ZacharyWyatt You beat me to it. :) Good job.
This was my anthem for a solo round the world trip I took before getting married and becoming a parent. It will always hold a special place, a frozen time, for me.
How's the ol ball n chain
Amazing how music can do that.
Ok
That was one smart thing to do, lady! Wish I had.
@@cathiemarvellous same ❤
one of the most under-appreciated artists
Understated I think is her comfort zone. She knows she’s super talented but classically understated may be all she desires.
This is the lullaby I sing my kids to sleep with every night. ❤
I also found this to be really soothing to an infant I was watching... Starting singing Billy Joel's "Goodnight My Angel" and wandered around to other slow songs I could hum in my low range. This was the one, got my chest vibrating just right to knock him out.
@@johannaflorez2899 🥰
I do this too 🥹
Saw this live, and I'm so thankful they've released this video. My heart....I can't even...
I bet that was incredible!
Lucky!
The skill and ability needed to sing powerfully, in tune, with no musical accompaniment...she is incredibly gifted. Most singers could not do what she did. Not to mention the song is beautiful and hits the soul in a really unexpected way. Love her
That was just absolutely amazing. Sara, your voice is unparalleled. You have the power of an operatic mezzo coupled with the old soul of folk singer goddesses like Joni Mitchell.
I felt the lady on Sara's right was a bit overpowering and not so much complimenting (positive addition) Sara's voice.
Saw a Ben Folds video today for reasons that ive already forgotten because i went down the rabbit hole of incredible musical enrichment that is Ben Folds, one video led to another and the wheel fell here, the timer hit 5 seconds and i immediately teared up... It was the most unexpected thing because ive never heard this song and it hit my heart like a log in free fall. I was all smiles with "Rock this Bitch" videos literally 5 minutes ago, now I'm a mess made of tears. Thank you.
Same rabbit hole...im surprised we didn't run into each other..all the tears blinding us! ..thats probably why we didn't see each other going down the same path!
i love how caroline shaw was smiling at the harmonics and how at the end the performers broke out in smiles. i think everyone knew just how special that moment was
This is one of those rare performances that hangs in the air when the song ends
Humans are capable of such terror and beauty. The choice is ours to make.
I could write my autobiography in Sara Bareillas songs.
If only-
X2!!!
X2
Okay WHAT, an orchestral performance of my favourite lullaby, it’s the best time to be alive.
The best time to be alive so far, at least.
@@johncrofford What do you think now? :P
Lol flash forward to 2020
@@emildmello haha, exactly!
Emil Dmello I hate it here now lmaooo
I’d just like to point out that this LIVE RECORDING sounds-if not better than the original- then at LEAST Just as good. What an absolute legend.
I find that most of her live performances are like that. Stunning.
Her humming is like a sweet lullaby from a Mother to her Baby...pure love.
I dare say there does not exist a more pure and powerful performance than this.
Total agreement. In fact, if anyone has anything close - please share
This has to be one of if not the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. Sara voice just transcends time.
I have adored this song since I can remember. It is reminiscent of the end days of my mental illness, and that period of enlightenment and freedom. It truly takes me back to my past self- reminding me how strong I am today. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Eternally grateful for this Sara.
Thank you for sharing! Love, Debora. PS. Crying over here 😊
I was obsessed with this song while I was pregnant and played it constantly... I now have a 3 week old and this song just lulls her to sleep... this song is filled with such pure emotion and musicality , it still brings tears to my eyes.
Holy talent. To stand there and sing with no backing until halfway through... legend. I love this so much!
I’m never going to stop thinking about this performance. It’s one of my most favorite videos I return to.
Most underrated artists in the whole cosmos
The orchestra is lucky that Sara allowed them to join in, so talented.
I used this as my alarm clock song for many months. In the album it starts with a match lighting...gives me such great inspiration for the day. Sara is my all time favorite. 💖
I get chills every time I hear this. I come back frequently just to recharge.
Any artist who can evoke time, place, story with such finesse while still being absolutely effortless, deserves every kudo possible
Lyrics
Once upon another time
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
Turned the key and took a drive
Was free
Highway curved, the sun sank low
Buckley on the radio
Cigarette was burning slow
So breathe
Just yellow lines and tire marks
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was
To be
No enemies to call my own
No porch light on to pull me home
And where I was is beautiful
Because I was free
Once upon another time
Before I knew which life was mine
Before I left the child behind
Be
I saw myself in summer nights
And stars lit up like candle lights
I made my wish but mostly I
Believed
And yellow lines and tire marks
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was
To be
Once upon another time
Deciding nothing good in dying
So I would just keep on driving
Because I was free
I regularly come back to this... tonight was a night that just needed a little sara humming! It never grows old. ever!
Never Ever Gets Old. Better with age actually. Just my opinion.
One of her absolute best songs, and one that I adore. This song hit me VERY hard the day it was originally released.
She has that soothing 1940's era voice.
Sara is literally an angel
Chloe S. Literally. She died and returned to us.
Yes, she is.
She's literally a human being.
She has the lung capacity and breath control of a dolphin and the perfect pitch of a nightingale and the creative musical talent of a great composer and yet she deigned to come and dwell among us.
“where I stood is where I was” man, life got complicated.. I remember when I was young, the golden hours in the Philippines are special.. life was hard, but also simple and happy..
This song never ceases to move me everytime I listen to it...still my favourite.
brought tears to my eyes. Sara's talent is truly something else, and this arrangement is gorgeous!
This song always makes me calm and cry at the same time. Oh sara, have mercy on my heart .
Her voice is so rich in tone, like Mary Fahl. A beautiful rendition. Watch the reaction of Caroline Shaw at the end, she knows she has just been part of something extraordinary. Sara never fails to disappoint. Love her.
Her command of her instrument and her ability to draw the listener in by inhabiting the song are simply sublime.
Am actually blown away hearing Sara sing without accompaniment...I knew she was a great singer but this is fecking ridiculous how amazing she truly is! Love her x
Sara Bareilles has a strong and expressive mezzo-soprano voice. I adore her!❤️❤️❤️
This is a win for you tube recommendations.. did not know the artist or the center before this .. wow !!
sara's intonation is out of this world
Oh Sara, what a great songwriter.
are you a directioner??
@@graceallphin8900 yes
@@rahullovesthepayne8690 so am I hahaha
consummate pro....talent.....style.....confidence ......THE whole package
NO, YOU'RE CRYING AT YOUR DESK WATCHING THIS! Jfc she is incredible.
Sarah. Wide range. Profound depth. Perfect pitch. Mic on 'dry' mix. Sublime talent.
When things feel too dark, I always find my way back here. ❤
Every vocalist on the planet lives for this opportunity...Sara embodies it... LIVES IT... thank you
Who the hell has disliked this ?.......Absolutely amazing
You beat me to the comment! I had the very same reaction-what philistine DOWNED this performance? It's incredible! (And Caroline Shaw at 5:14 says it all.)
Dear steve wigg & S K, I see that ALL of the videos from Bareilles's Kennedy Center performance seem to have a "dislike"; I would like to *why* as well...
One guess: the person who shook her foot constantly. I am glad the performers were not distracted by it.
I'd say the original version of this was better, but not because of Sara.
Prolly those who noticed that her ‘free’ at 02:30 was flat. But this is her song so she gets a pass.
What a voice, in its great strength, in the nuance of its feelings, its poignancy
Sara is an absolute musical genius.
She did a cover of Taylor Swift clean and it left me on the floor in a ball crying my eyes out it was so beautiful 😍❤️
This melody is gorgeous. Sara pulled off the incredible feat of staying on the perfect pitch so when the orchestra pops in it all meshes. I am obsessed with this song and particular performance and can't believe how (relatively) few views and likes there are.
My dogs - real dogs - relax and sleep better when they hear this - thank you
absolutely brilliant , one of the best voices of this time
She is magical.
The most beautiful version of an already beautiful song. The utterly ethereal instrumentation at the beginning and the end does so much.

Thanks a lot lady! 🤗🤗🤗
❤️ Beautiful!... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This song always brings me to tears. How life can feel as we get older and our dreams change and sometimes even vanish. Thank you Sara for reminding me of a time when I had so much hope, confidence and freedom. You helped me to remember how happy I was then and I’m glad I had that time in my life ❤
Ben Folds is a genius
This song with these three was probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen live in my life.
I pretend this video is my secret and i can come to it to find peace. It is all degrees of beautiful simplicity, wrapped in eloquent richness on a bed of calming serenity. ❤️🤗
*unreal talent right there*
I feel sad for people who missed out on something like this.
she's so talented holy shit
One of my newest fave songs, but damn that soprano came barreling in...like...someone with that rep should know how to blend. ah well, worth every moment of Sara's performance. I've listened to this like fifty times already lol
Sara Bareilles is simply spectacular.
Each time I listen to this I get madder and madder about how Ben Folds treated this piece of art
Unforgettable. Listening to Sara Bareilles late on Sunday Night, 29 November 2020. During coronavirus lockdown in Britain. Thanks, Sara and assembled singers and orchestra.
Sara - your talent is just beyond. And bravo, Ben Folds, for making this happen. LOVE just so much.
Sara was born to sing.
How could Sara sing a whole song that is so emotional without crying? ('cause I always cry over her songs) ❤️🥺
Honestly so beautiful and serene.
This is so moving. It rings a sound of tragedy and time standing still, so bitter sweet.
Hauntingly enchanting
Wow. Just wow. Love Sara. Truly a gift to the world.
Sarah is beyond talented. Always have been surprised how many people don’t know about her.
This is one of, if not the most, emotionally stunning vocal performances I have every heard.
Sara Bareilles is one of the most underrated and yet most talented of writers and performers I have ever had the pleasure of discovering. Her lyrics ,along with her emotional delivery are amazing, in that most of us can relate to them personally, in good times and bad as well.
No matter how many thousands of times I have heard this song, Sara never fails to give me chills. The a cappella parts blow me away.
What a performance! What an arrangement!
Amazing. Tears in my eyes so beautiful. I can’t imagine what being there in person must have felt line. Wow.
My body wasn't ready for 5 solid minutes of chills.
This song made the scene from Castle Rock even more beautiful
Saw her in concert recently. She is absolutely incredible. This was a great performance.
My entire body is covered in goosebumps and I’m crying! There are no words for how beautiful this is!
the best talent of a generation
Sara is a living legend.
it’s amazing seeing sara of course but also being able to recognize caroline shaw! i had the opportunity to sing one of her pieces with a choir and facetime with her to understand what the piece meant to her! amazing
