On today’s Music Monday I’d like to present a song by Sara Bareilles to you. She’s currently all over the airwaves here with her song Love Song, but the song I’m particularly taken by is Gravity. I must’ve heard it several months ago in some movie soundtrack or other (Loving Annabelle, I think), and I liked it so much I wrote down what I could catch from the music and googled it afterwards. I believe Gravity was first on her 2004 album Careful Confessions, which – as I’m writing this – is only available used for $150. However, on her current album Little Voice, Gravity is track number 12. As of now, that album is only $9.99. Enjoy the song and comment!

Sara Bareilles – Gravity
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I’ll still feel you here ’til 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
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
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
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
