20. Fairytale (Careful Confessions, 2004)

“A heartfelt, preppy song that is truly about the struggles of Depression. It is an incredibly powerful song, and the lyrics are witty and hilarious like: “Snow White is doing dishes again because what else can you do with several itty bitty men”

19. Sweet as Whole (Once Upon Another Time, 2012)

“Think this is another one of her sentimental ballad type songs? Give it a listen. You’ll be in for a fun surprise! Only someone as charming as Sara could pull this off, but she does.”

18. Hold My Heart (Kaleidoscope Heart, 2010)

“I love to listen to this song. I can really feel the sadness and desperation that Sara expresses, but it inspires hope as well. I think it’s something everyone can relate to at some point in their lives.”

17. Once Upon Another Time (Once Upon Another Time, 2012)

“Such a simple yet hauntingly beautiful melody. The lyrics are just as poignant, showing that Ms. Bareilles truly has a way of capturing pure and raw emotion in song like none other.”

16. Manhattan (The Blessed Unrest, 2013)

“You know it’s a good song when you haven’t experience the subject of the song yet you feel the emotion it tries to convey. Everything about this song is emotional. The writing, the vocals, the simplicity of the piano.”

15. I Choose You (The Blessed Unrest, 2013)

“Sara Bareilles has such amazing vocals that blow me away & not only that the lyrics are so heart felt in the way she sings them with so much emotional depth. Excellent job Sara. Another thing I love about her that I’ve noticed following her career she has the most genuine smile when she performs.”

14. Uncharted (Kaleidoscope Heart, 2010)

“Not only a wonderful song to play on piano, but this song rolls along with such brightness and attention to detail that it cannot go unnoticed. Her melisma and vocal prowess shines vibrantly here.”

13. Vegas (Little Voice, 2007)

“Basically she’s saying if things are bad in your life, giving up everything you DO have and running away is not going to help you, it’s going to hurt you. People think that if they move to a big city everything will magically get better, but it doesn’t. It is hard everywhere. And your problems will not disappear, they will always follow you wherever you go (can’t escape a sky that’s falling)”

12. City (Careful Confessions, 2004)

“This song is so chilling to me now, and the reason it is that way has nothing to do with the songs meaning. My grandfather asked me if it was snowing outside the night he was in the hospital for cancer. It was the last thing he said to me, and I told his ‘No, not yet.” He nodded a little. The next day, I was waiting to be picked up from school and my mom called and told me he died, as soon as she said that, I saw tiny snowflakes outside of the window. The day of his funeral, I was listening to this song on my mp3 player, and I walked outside, as soon as I looked up there was nothing but snow. I just stood there in the snow listening to “Calling out, somebody save me, I feel like I’m fading away” and that just amazed me. Every time I listen to this song or it snows, I think of him.”

11. Breathe Again (Kaleidoscope Heart, 2010)

“Heard it on the vampire diaries… It was beautiful… Heard it again on in plain sight… It was beautiful as usual… This song is so magical, mystical…”

10. Come Round Soon (Careful Confessions, 2004)

“Definitely about someone who’s no good for you, has treated you badly, led you on, yet you can’t let go of the feelings, and the hope they’ll come crawling back. I also love the line “One two many drinks tonight and I miss you…like you were mine.” Perfect.”

9. Chasing the Sun (The Blessed Unrest, 2013)

“Just gorgeous in every way, from the metaphor about being “stuck between the dead and the living” and a soaring chorus that perfectly displays Sara’s vocal prowess. Sara is criminally underrated as it is, but this song is even more!”

8. Between the Lines (Little Voice, 2007)

“The lyrics to this song are just so genius. So awesome. Awesome rhythm. Amazing vocals. Love it Such an incredible, and often overlooked, song”

7. Love on the Rocks (Little Voice, 2007)

“The song is about a relationship that didn’t work out (“I worked so hard for this love of mine / Still I got nothing to show for it”). However they’re still a part of each other’s lives, and they still care about each other (“You’re a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too”). The problem is that they just don’t work in a relationship (“You plus me is bad news”). He still has a strong effect on her (“Tongue tied and twisted… go to my head”) and they still get together, but it only ends up hurting her. But he’s like an addiction and she keeps coming back for more (“Okay we’ll do it your way”).”

6. King of Anything (Kaleidoscope Heart, 2010)

“An awesome uplifting song that encourages people to speak their mind. Most importantly, the song calls for not being excessively selfless but at times being selfish. Don’t sacrifice your happiness for others’ happiness.”

5. Gonna Get Over You (Kaleidoscope Heart, 2010)

“The bouncy piano line, the lowly-layered snaps, the groovy guitar and bass lines, and obviously Sara Bareille’s excellent singing, make this an extremely fun piece of hers, and so do the lyrics. Approaching a break-up in a very inquisitive and loose way, Sara once again nails the singer-songwriter vibe, taking a very observational approach of herself without getting in the slightest bit pretentious, and trying to keep an optimistic head to things. Hell, you wouldn’t even notice that she’s sad in the first place, that’s how good of a job she does at playing this role in the song. And of course, as with any Sara Bareilles song, the melodies and chord progressions are ON POINT!”

4. Bottle It Up (Little Voice, 2007)

“I really like this song (just like all of Sara’s other stuff)! And this single is great! It comes in a slim case with the artwork (front insert only), and the CD has a live acoustic version of Sara’s cover of In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel ( this version is different from the Stripped version from the 2-CD edition of Little Voice). It’s all great! Definitely recommend!”

3. Love Song (Little Voice, 2007)

“Love Song is a bonafide 2000’s classic and one of Sara’s best. While definitely the most well-known, it holds such a special place in my heart as it was the first real song I learned on piano and the chorus never fails to make me happy. It has kept me going in life through some of the hardest times. I will sing this as loud as I want in whatever supermarket is playing it. I don’t care because I love it too much”

2. Brave (The Blessed Unrest, 2013)

“he has encouraged me to stand up for what I believe in at my school where it is so hard because whenever you do stand up for what you believe in, the teachers think you’re talking back. Sara has an amazing voice and is one of my favorite female artists!”

1. Gravity (Little Voice, 2007)

“I first heard this song on The Vampire Diaries then I downloaded it and fell in love with it! It is such a beautiful song and I love the high note “down” in the bridge of the song. It is my favorite song and I never get tired of it.”
