Sara Bareilles – Gravity

Hacía mucho que no daba rienda suelta a mi vena moña, así que hay que ponerle fin a la sequía ;-). Y qué mejor manera que con esta tremenda canción cuya letra es más que representativa: la gravedad que algunas personas ejercen sobre nosotros no nos deja actuar como realmente somos. Y sin embargo, es muy difícil salirse de esa inercia. Así que se permite cantar a grito pelao el estribillo pidiendo que nos liberen ;-).

Este single dio nombre a la gira que llevó a cabo Sara en 2009 para promocionar su disco Little Voice (del que ya extrajimos su conocido Love Song). Increíble cómo se desenvuelve con el piano:

Letra:

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 reign.

[estribillo]
Set me free, leave me be.
I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I’m 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
you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[estribillo]

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
Keeping me down…

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

Sara Bareilles – Love Song

Sara Bareilles - Love SongHoy toca canción más optimista y con ritmo pegadizo. La he escuchado por primera vez en un bar y me ha enganchado de tal manera que me he visto obligada a sacar una libretita para copiar el estribillo y buscarlo luego en google 😉

La artista es Sara Bareilles y la canción pertenece a su primer y hasta ahora único disco: Little Voice (2005).

Letra:

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it’s too soon to see
If I’m happy in your hands
I’m unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s
Make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s
Make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you’ll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
‘cause I believe there’s a way you can love me
Because I say
I won’t write you a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don’t want it for a minute
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There’s a reason to
Write you a love song today
