Sara Bareilles is by far one of my favorite current artists out there. I connect with the lyrics in most of her songs, and can't get enough of her music! I hope she makes her way back to Boston SOON...
Anyways, as I was putzing around on her website, I came across some journaling she did, discussing her song (one of my favorites), Many The Miles. She wrote:
"So I wrote this song as a reminder to myself to keep going in search of love and truth and light and it remains to be an ideal I love to stay connected to. I suck at it a lot of the time actually, to be honest. I get bitchy, and bored, and irritable, and uninspired and I spend a lot of energy on what i don't like about myself. But at the end of a good day I can take solace in the fact that I am someone who truly wants to be peaceful. Who knows I have the capacity to be truly happy. Not every moment of everyday... but sometimes, and if I'm really committed... a lot of the time. I don't want to settle for less. And I wish that for every single one of you. That when you look at your life you gravitate towards what feeds your soul and the people that make you feel inspired and content and beautiful (on the inside, silly). That you give yourself permission to be flawed and imperfect and "lesser than". Know that we all are. I promise. We just don't like to admit it."
Nicely put, Sara :)
