Best Sara Bareilles Songs

I love this song so much! It's probably my favorite song.

She 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. You rock, Sara!

First heard this on a Windows Phone advert, and it instantly caught my attention. I actually thought it was Katy Perry when I first heard it, only to find out it was by Sara Bareilles.

Although this song and Love Song are the only two songs I've heard from her, this one gets my vote. Pop at its finest. Love Song is also great, by the way.

This song is my go-to whenever I am going to sing somewhere. I don't have to worry or prepare because I know it's such a beautiful song that it will get a good response. I won a talent competition with it as well.

I can never stop singing it, and it has been years since I started.

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. It is my favorite song, and I never get tired of it.

An awesome, uplifting song that encourages people to speak their minds. Most importantly, the song calls for not being excessively selfless, but at times being selfish.

Don't sacrifice your happiness for others' happiness.

Before I go into a debate round, I listen to this song to remind myself that no one can tell me who to be. This song gives me the confidence I lack when I feel like people are judging me. The upbeat tune is an extra feel-good bonus.

In my head, I change the lyrics to queen regarding a certain female in my family. She tries to be a controlling B! I love this song! It's all I rock, and you can F off!

Just gorgeous in every way, from the metaphor about being "stuck between the dead and the living" to a soaring chorus that perfectly displays Sara's vocal prowess.

Sara is criminally underrated as it is, but this song is even more so!

This is such excellent lyricism. It's impossible not to appreciate life after reflecting on this song.

Some of the most beautiful lyrics and analogies!

Let's just be real. All of Sara's songs are amazing. There should be no fighting here, so I am taking the approach of saying what I like about each song.

Love Song is a bona fide 2000s 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.

Sara Bareilles has such amazing vocals that blow me away. Not only that, but the lyrics are so heartfelt, and she sings them with so much emotional depth. Excellent job, Sara.

Another thing I love about her that I've noticed following her career is that she has the most genuine smile when she performs. I will follow your career straight to the top.

Can't stop listening to this song! It makes me remember my girlfriend every time.

This song pours happiness and love all over my mood. Should be in the top 3!

This is Sara Bareilles' best song. Then again, I've said that way too many times. She just has so many songs good enough to be someone's favorite.

1000 Times perfectly encapsulates the desperation someone with unrequited love feels.

I really don't get why this song is so underrated! Every time, I find it in an awful spot on the lists! It's my favorite Sara song.

This song is amazing and captures the feeling of unrequited love perfectly.

Beautiful song. I love the lyrics: "Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back?" Gives me chills every time. And the chords are so beautiful.

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, so mystical.

This song is my favorite! I heard it on The Vampire Diaries in the 2nd season (Katherine remembering the day she left). It should be No. 1!

It should be first. I love this song so much. It's kind of sad, but it's great, and I can't survive a day without listening to it.

A great song. If her new album is as awesome as this, it might be her best!

Simply the most beautiful song.

You know it's a good song when you haven't experienced the subject of the song, yet you still feel the emotion it tries to convey. Everything about this song is emotional - the writing, the vocals, the simplicity of the piano.

A beautiful, brooding song by Sara. She is just amazing. It gives you chills, and the way her voice shakes at the end of the lines is just beautiful. An amazing song by a great artist. She deserves that Grammy nomination.

How is this not in the top 10? This song is so beautiful - the lyrics are simple but gorgeous and mean so much. It's also such an amazing song to harmonize with while you fall asleep.

Excluding anything from Little Voice, Gonna Get Over You remains, by far, Sara's best song to date.

The bouncy piano line, the lowly-layered snaps, the groovy guitar and bass lines, and obviously Sara Bareilles' excellent singing make this an extremely fun piece. The lyrics are equally delightful. Approaching a break-up in a very inquisitive and loose way, Sara once again nails the singer-songwriter vibe, taking a very observational approach to herself without becoming the slightest bit pretentious. She also tries to keep an optimistic outlook. 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! Get this song higher, guys.

A beautiful ballad with Ingrid Michaelson. I just love the lyrics and the feel of this song.

"They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so I have been told.

They say we're buried far,
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold."

The harmonies in this song are gorgeous!

I listen to this song over and over again. This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Maybe because I relate to it so much.

It's beautiful and caught my heart the first time I heard it! Love this song so much.

Best song ever, so catchy and cool!

I think this is Sara's best love song. It is so powerful, so evocative. It's like she has no choice - love impels her to be devoted to her love.

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.

The eponymous track from her latest EP distills the poetic beauty of Sara's music to create something truly inspiring and touching.

Gives me shivers every time I listen to it. Such a beautiful song with perfect harmonies!

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

Interesting harmonies and layers, and also a very simple but cool piano part.

Quite different for Sara - shows her diversity. Definitely a favorite.

The lyrics to this song are genius. It has an awesome rhythm and amazing vocals. Love it.

Really! This one should be first.

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.
