"If the bottom drops out, I hope my love was someone else's solid ground" Such a hauntingly beautiful song. This line particularly resonates with me because isn't that the ultimate goal? That your kindness truly makes a positive difference in someone's life.

These two get it.

I learned that Orpheus was a mythological man in love who lost his wife and had a chance to bring her back to life thanks to his music that could touch every soul and living being. But when trying to lead her invisible shadow to life which he wasn't supposed to look at, he turned around by looking at her, lost her forever. Sara's ability to tell stories is such a gift to the world. She's a modern-day hopeful and brave Orpheus that makes every soul believe we can hold on to love and never turns away from it.

I certainly agree with all your points, I just would like to add that from my recollection he didn't give up in the sense that he just left her behind. He was explicitly told he can lead the way outside as long as he doesn't turn around to look at her. But going up he grew impatient and he couldn't hear her footsteps (obv she was a spirit) and so he turned around just before she faded aways and returned to the underworld forever. So if he had listened to the conditions to save her they could've had a life together but he didn't have enough trust and was impatient.

This song is a masterpiece. Not much else to say beyond that. Gold.

Literally a day before a live performance of this was uploaded to KZread for the first time I was talking my girlfriend late at night and I remember saying, "In a single year, or just a few months you can lose so much of what you love. All the truth vanishes. The people I loved all suddenly just changed beyond recognition at the end of 2016. And no matter how much I miss the way things used to be, I can't forget none of it was true." Next morning on KZread I hear one of my all-time favourite singers go: "I know you miss the world, the one you knew The one where everything made sense Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works ’Til the bottom drops out and we learn We're all just hunters seeking solid ground" Sara is an angel. And may be this won't ever be a popular song or even win a grammy, but this is the kind of music that can change and save people by winning hearts. And that's all that matters. Thank You, Sara Bareilles.

Just some that I loved and trusted for the longest time of my life. It's a personal matter that I'd rather put all out in the open. Just something happened, and I ended up in a hospital when I least expected it... And that's how you really learn who your people are. When people you have trusted all your life betray and let you down and don't even care enough to say sorry you finally see the truth. And yeah, may be people never really change. It's just I didn't know the truth of who they were. And I believed in my convictions about them bcz that seemed to be my only "solid ground". The point: This is the most personally relatable song I have ever heard. Sara's Blessed Unrest had some amazing songs that I had found relatable back then to. She's not like all those other pop artists out there dissing about their way too many ex-boyfriends. Her lyrics are not about her. Not pointed. Not directed. Not about anybody. Yet so many can relate to every word. That's real music. The kind we have no appreciation for these days.

More than any other singer, I notice how much Sara changes her voice, tone, phrasing etc. with each song. She never just opens her mouth and starts singing - she works each phrase so that it expresses exactly what she wants to say. And so many songs are sung with a unique approach. For example on her first album, on “Vegas” she sounds loose and kinda drunk; “Between The Lines” is bitter regret; “Love On The Rocks” is sassy; “Gravity” is a whispered secret. And it goes on like that album after album.

Brandon, Kaleidoscope Heart is currently her album that I play to death, too! I feel like her early songs were typically about working through her emotions, and - having already plowed those fields - on Blessed Unrest and Amidst The Chaos she is more focused on exploring interesting musical ideas. (As you probably know, Sara always starts with the musical idea, not the lyrics, which blew my mind since her lyrics are so strong!) ATC was the first album I bought, and I was hooked - but each additional album is a new “Wow...” I feel like the run of songs on KH from Say You’re Sorry on through Bluebird are like a trance - absolute perfection. That’s a real accomplishment for a sophomore album.

One of the most beautiful songs she has wrote ❤️

Dear Sarah. Thank you for this song, the honesty and kindness in it. This song saved me from an anxiety attack after a bad breakup.

this is one of the best music I've ever heard.

To me personally, the most beautiful song of the album. It puts a smile and a sigh in me every time I listen to it. I marvel on the mixture of feelings. Love the anticipation of knowing song eight is about to play. A dream song, poetic, meaningful lyrics, gorgeous melody, caressing vocals, sad yet hopeful, reminisce of a love that might make it or not, the uncertainly makes it so real, so emotional, enticing and precious... Love its magic beyond explanation, which elicits, all at once, something sweet, loving, and shattering in me. Thank you for this soul balm of a song. Love.

My favorite song from her new album. She's so fucking amazing

It's fitting that this is my favorite song off this album because "Cassiopeia" is my favorite song off The Blessed Unrest. Of all her work, I haven't loved anything as much as I love The Blessed Unrest, but this whole album came pretty close. Can't wait for more music from her, as always!
