It’s your hope for every single song, and it doesn’t happen every time." "King Of Anything" "It’s a very exciting thing as a songwriter when you get to watch a song take on a life of its own. "I’ve seen people talk about it in terms of grief or addiction," says Bareilles.
You go past it and through it and grow from it."Īlthough "Gravity" has soundtracked romantic moments in TV shows like Community and The Vampire Diaries, not everyone views it as a song about love. "It's talking about that first real heartbreak where you’re like, 'I don’t think I’m gonna ever get over this,' then of course eventually you do," she explains. Of course, Bareilles eventually got over the guy, but the song reflects her state of mind right in the middle of the situation. it felt like a force that was bigger than a person." I could not remove myself, I couldn’t move on, move out, move forward. And then I went away to college, and every time I came home, he was just a magnet for me. "I had a high school boyfriend who I was madly in love with, and we broke up my senior year and got back together. "'Gravity' was born out of a high school relationship falling apart and me being a drama queen about it," Bareilles says, laughing. The third single from Bareilles' 2007 debut album Little Voice, "Gravity" is a haunting ballad about returning to a person over and over again. Now, Bareilles is opening up, and walking Bustle though the real stories behind eight of her most personal songs, from heartbreaking teen romances to one of U.S.
Yet even as her success has skyrocketed, the 39-year-old has managed to keep a low profile when it comes to things like her mental health and romantic relationships, preferring to let her honest, intimate songs do the talking. "It's been six years - I’ve just done so many things, and so much has changed in my life." That's for sure since 2013, Bareilles has earned a handful of Grammy noms, hosted the Tonys, published a book, and performed on Broadway, just to name a few things. It’s been a long time coming, clearly," says the singer with a laugh, sitting down at Bustle's New York office a few days before the record's release. Nearly six years later, a new album, April's Amidst the Chaos, is here - and Bareilles, understandably, is anxious for people to hear it. The last time a real Sara Bareilles record arrived was 2013, with the release of the Grammy-nominated The Blessed Unrest. And yes, there was NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert! concert album in 2018, on which she sang as Mary Magdalene, but that was alongside the rest of the show's cast. There was 2015's Waitress soundtrack, featuring songs written and sung by Bareilles, but that was for a Broadway musical, not herself.
It's been a long time since the world got a new Sara Bareilles album.
