"The Chain" Lyrics:
The sky looks pissed.
The wind talks back.
The bones are shifting in my skin and you my love are gone.
My room seems wrong.
The bed won't fit.
I can not seem to operate and you my love are gone
So glide away on soapy heels and promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again then I will take,
Then I will take the chain from off the door
I'll never say, I'll never love
But I don't say a lot of things and you my love are gone
So glide away on soapy heels and promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again then I will take,
Then I will take the chain from off the door
So glide away on soapy heels and promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again then I will take,
Then I will take the chain from off the door
So glide away on soapy heels and promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again then I will take,
Then I will take the chain from off the door
So glide away on soapy heels and promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again then I will take,
Then I will take the chain from off the door
So glide away on soapy heels and promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again then I will take,
Then I will take the chain from off the door
So glide away on soapy heels and promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again then I will take,
Then I will take the chain from off the door

[@JulesandVannah]

One of the most underrated artist out there.

[@turtlelover5988]

Ikr

[@jessicasmith3225]

JulesandVannah totally agree

[@shailaaa7280]

I 100% agree

[@toriconnell8192]

Agreed!

[@cbennett196631]

How does one determine...under rated status ?!?

[@vanyasmith1125]

“My bones are shifting in my skin” is probably the best way to explain anxiety to the people without it

[@gomamon15]

That sentence is very chilling. A chilling statement.

[@michaelschultz2239]

You're absolutely right

[@maddyhatter7076]

Yes

[@plumfox-mountchristen-wind6725]

Right? That part breaks my heart every time I listen.

[@Jtsolario]

Or a large balloon in your chest which intermittently swells, pushing all of your organs aside. That's how it is for me, at least.

[@jeanhammond1363]

You may not see this post since it's been 3 years ago, but I have been Grey's binging on Netflix and just heard this...I am in awe and cannot stop playing it over and over.....

[@lydiak4103]

We sing this in choir as a warmup, it's my favorite thing ever. We have done it in a round with 40 people each singing their own part, it sounds so cool

[@eva-cn6ne]

SAME

[@yunohadashi3783]

Same We'd be split into 4 groups then sing after each other it was really fun!

[@kaitlynwilson1970]

Same

[@rassybah517]

SAME I think you go to my school Lydia K

[@nobody-xr7nd]

STOP I DO THE SAME THING!!!

[@mofotov9428]

the most interesting part in this song is that the chorus eventually becomes a chain of words in melody itself.

[@Taniere]

So lovely!!

[@aadilamoolla4068]

You can actually hear the pain in her voice.

[@cbennett196631]

Aadila Moolla I heard or read somewhere that she was giving birth while doing the vocals for this song...

[@alexbrooks5676]

@@cbennett196631 Why the hell would she do that? That must be wrong.

[@lulilagartos959]

Totally.

[@aislingbrowne2621]

Real💔🥀🪦

[@ladyspicy6840]

Kinda find it hard to believe that singing was a priority for her during birth

[@jaykim8851]

I first heard this song in 2008 or 2009 when Ingrid was the opener for some band (I forgot the name of) at a concert at the University of Rochester (I was a student there). It was after a blizzard and half her band couldn't make it to Rochester so she performed her set with just a ukelele and her drummer. She invited someone from the audience who knew this song to sing with her and it was just a really sweet and chill experience I'll never forget. 😊

[@yeoxing2219]

This song definitely hits different when you interpret the relationship as a friendship rather than a romantic relationship 😭

[@SedateKohler]

What about both?

[@superbflowerchaos]

we're singing this is a choir at my school right now: )

[@turtlelover5988]

We are only learning the chorus at school

[@sav1543]

superbflowerchaos me too

[@thechelseachannel794]

LUCKY

[@janesmith9281]

superbflowerchaos omg same

[@jayy6203]

superbflowerchaos me too

[@aliceprice1238]

This song legitimately changed me like holy shit

[@coltonalann]

SO beautiful. Just sits you in a trance, you can honestly get lost listening to this. So simple, but so complex

[@overcomingfrankie30]

And no matter why someone is listening to it, it's speaks so profoundly to everyone. No matter your loss, your pain, this song captures it. Incredible song.

[@gomamon15]

I agree. I get lost in the lyrics of this song. It is beautiful.

[@catefofate659]

The sky looks pissed The wind talks back My bone are shifting in my skin And you my love are gone My room seems wrong The bed won't fit I can not seem to operate And you my love are gone So glide away on soapy heels And promise not to promise anymore And if you come around again Then I will take, then I will take the chain from off the door I'll never say I'll never love But I don't say a lot of things And you my love are gone So glide away soapy heels And promise not to promise anymore And if you come around again then I will take the chain from off the door (x6) So glide away on soapy heels And promise not to promise anymore And if you come around again then I will take Then I will take, then I will take The chain from off the door The End

[@green82929]

Thanks!

[@LittlexStarling]

It's in the description.

[@JKSVAM_]

"Promise not to promise anymore" mhm

[@DestinyMoniqueX3]

Thank you greys!!!

[@RELIC3862]

This is such an excellent song. One of my favorites by Ingrid.

[@mimitube1479]

This was my dance song

[@river6013]

I watched girls from dance do this

[@yoannaa6923]

+Mimitube my old dance coach always use to play this song I loved it! I always wanted a dance to this song for competition

[@benedictelubrano2234]

the best is "everybody"

[@SarahTime19]

Yoanna A I'm actually doing it for a comp piece

[@DATTSMC]

I have been playing this song on loop constantly; its soooo good!

[@axolotl9861]

Are you still replaying it haha

[@ola45678910]

Listening to a song many years later and understanding it as an adult is such an experience ❤️

[@laurenbeirne1913]

It's so cool to listen to this with good quality headphones omg

[@lisaiovacchini1596]

I really am amazed that 48 people gave this song a thumbs down. Such a beautiful song. So many great songs in Grey's Anatomy and this is one of them.

[@christinahardy8762]

I can feel her emotions in each of her songs.... you are my role model, Ingrid:).

[@flatsamiscool]

I don't know why, but I always laugh a little when she says that the sky looks pissed. I don't really know why I find that so funny, but I guess it's because I don't hear that very often.

[@jenp3355]

Sam Galloway she means angry. Like the sky is dark and stormy. It doesn't mean drunk in America.

[@flatsamiscool]

I know what it means, but it sounds funny that the sky is pissed at you. Like, what did I do to piss you off?

[@trinitybasically]

Zara Wasique 💀💀💀

[@lulilagartos959]

True dat lol. I really like that verse tho

[@denisepaige97]

"My bones are shifting in my skin......" Absolutely astounding!

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

This song is so cool!! I love how quietly the music is in the beginning but then it slowly grows throughout the song. Then the ending with all the parts playing all at the same time is SO COOL and SO GOOD! ❤️❤️ I love it!!

[@alexismorgan3543]

I hate when people come to the original song and say the cover/imitation is better, when the song is clearly written by and for the artist... Just shows that our society has no appreciation for original music, only the newest shiniest style available.

[@isabellaogborn9783]

Different people like different things

[@Hadyen_]

it being the original is irrelevant. some people just prefer the styles of those that did the covers, Its a really crazy thing called an opinion. Personally I like George Blagden's cover of this but I still wanted to see what the original was like because I was curious.

[@maitebustamante5835]

probably my favorite Ingrid Michaelson song 💕

[@MissLolita7777]

There's something so ridiculously perfect about her voice.

[@drquack4213]

Definitely my guilty pleasure song

[@elainewalter8685]

Finally i found this song. I have been looking for soo long

[@musculusgarbos]

When these lyrics finally make sense, after many years, it hits hard.

[@JMtheCONQUERER]

Id give this a million likes if I could

[@shufflingfate4703]

love this song so emotional and beautiful

[@TheRighteousGabss]

GO IZZIE! #BeatCancer #GreysAnatomy

[@melalien333]

STARSHIPBLU3 izzies my favorite💕💕

[@lulilagartos959]

Ingrid Michaelson is my favorite artist of all time, even after all those years. Great. Inspiring. Brilliant.

[@tinamichelle6969]

Oh. My goodness This song is filled with so much emotion. I really like it because it speaks to me about being free and taking the chains off!!

[@h.m.garino5749]

Listened to this in my 20s.. im now in my 30s with 2 kids. Still, enjoying ingrid's music. Timeless!

[@michaelg8193]

Still a fan in June 2024. Ingrid is just amazing!

[@pasqualevarano._]

Love the overlapping of voices. It's like a whole choir of Ingrid Michaelsons.

[@On3rdEar]

This was the best song created by her ever. smh ugh I love it!

[@aileenarellano1208]

We sing this song at a camp that changed my life and my perspective on the world. I truly will always love this song

[@venusvintageco]

I could not contain myself when you played this at the Norva in Norfolk! I travelled hours to see you and I was not disappointed. Thank you for sharing yourself!!

[@Heyyy1522]

We are singing this choir and I had it stuck in my head and I found it.

[@raphie2500]

We are singing this for choir and I'm so psyched! It's so beautiful, though we are only making one change to song. We are changing the first line to something different from the last word used but other than that thank you Ingrid for a great SONG!

[@iveyromano4234]

I sang this song at my chorus concert and it sounded beautiful with me and my friends singing it

[@Brothersinarms01]

This would be perfect for a scene in Chicago Fire. Beautiful voice!

[@ACDEFist]

She is amazing!!

[@manuelestuardo89]

Beautiful melody. Love it

[@lolalucky8775]

[@pinkbaybee210]

This is my favorite song. I love the live version too!

[@jaydenchapman9018]

We're using the round part as a warm up in our senior choir. It's quite pretty with that many singers

[@gay_fr]

We sing this in advanced chorus as a warmup, it’s really cool

[@lilfroggyfrog]

This my favorite song ever. Its so beautiful, but I just wish it wasn't so unbelievably accurate right now. The tears keep coming

[@hannah9193]

I'm singing this in Choir and it's so beautiful! Lots of people don't like it in my Choir class, but it's so graceful.

Breathtaking!
