It's been almost two years since I posted content on this segment, even though I've had this particular song in mind for the longest time.
The first time I heard Gravity by Sara Bareilles (I still struggle to pronounce her surname), it latched on to my melancholic side (I have my moments) and I couldn't help playing it over and over until the lyrics sank in.
And then, I fell deeper in love with it after watching Season 5, Episode 14 of So You Think You Can Dance, when two of my fave dancers in that season, Kayla and Kupono, rendered an emotional contemporary dance piece, which was choreographed by the amazing Mia Michaels. I still get goose bumps anytime I remember it. Oh, how I loved that show!
It's funny how I always imagine myself singing this song on stage at an open mic event, all caught up in my emotions while the audience is entranced by my rendition. Loool. I will most definitely write a blog post about that if it does eventually happen. #WatchThisSpace
Anyway, here are the lyrics. You'll probably connect with them as much as I did. Read beyond the surface of the words, cause they are deep, deep...
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 keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
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
And I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
