Gravity

Sara Bareilles is my new chanteuse-love! I was introduced to her by Andie and Dawnie....and now her songs are constant rotation in my iTunes. :) She's an American singer-songwriter with a folksy-acoustic vibe (think vox + keys) that really appeals to me. Her sound is like a cross between Jonatha Brooke, Natalie Merchant and Sarah McLachlan...all of whom I love!

Check out her live, acoustic video of "Gravity"....my fav song by her thus far. Beautiful, poignant ballad this one...it's taken from her latest album, "Little Voice."

Gravity
============
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do, I 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.

CHORUS
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.

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.

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
You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're onto me, onto me and all over

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
