"Brave" - Sara Bareilles w/ the National Symphony Orchestra | DECLASSIFIED: Ben Folds Presents

[@tedjohnson5210]

One of my favorite vocalists, she sounds better live than in a studio. Not a lot of current artists can claim the same.

[@tedjohnson5210]

Gabriella Marie AGREED!!

[@marahernandez4867]

Totally agree with you

[@sleazybtd]

Agree that she definitely has the talent, but the mystery is why she sounds so much better singing live than in a studio.

[@tedjohnson5210]

sleazybtd either crappy sound people or, and this is my opinion, she’s just too good for current technology 👍

[@dareenamay]

Yep! Jessy J is the same. Muuuuch better live.

[@SparklyTechno58542]

god the dopamine hit from this video is unbelievable. the collective cheer from the audience when they realize what song is playing. sara, just resplendent. the couple members of the orchestra you can tell are a bit thrilled cause they love this song. ben folds getting his little white boy groove on in the percussion section. wow.

[@yammietomogrady1322]

She can Sing.... Period.

[@eys333]

You can even tell the orchestra members are happy 😃

[@Eddie_Barzoon]

The orchestra makes this song even better, plus she shines.

[@gegenhyung]

One of the best Mezzo Sopranos in today's music! She delivered such beautiful resonant notes. Amen to her voice!

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

ivanchu0509 she’s def not soprano, she even wrote in her book about how she’ll never be one no matter how hard she tries

[@JOHNEELUND]

@@TheMurrmursonbottle mezzo soprano means basically between contralto and soprano

[@yossibarzilai3820]

@@TheMurrmursonbottle why would she want to be a soprano? We all agree she sounds awesome and her resonance is amazing

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

@@yossibarzilai3820 It’s not my opinion, just mentioning what she said in her autobiography. Perhaps it’s because a lot of people consider it more impressive to have a higher range, despite that being a pretty shallow preference

[@3HenKiss]

I love this version of the song, but my other favorite part is watching Ben Folds bounce while playing the drums. Both Ben and Sarah are so joyful.

[@pr9400]

Thank you for pointing that out! You're right! Made me smile. Joyful indeed! :)

[@richardwhite2344]

One of the most incredible talents in our world in 2021 is Sara. You have not lived until you have heard her incredible version of I Don't Know How to Love Him. She sings that song better then anyone I ever heard!!!

[@evanshaw17]

Wow we love you Sara

[@k81law]

Her appreciation for the orchestra is adorable!

[@philipfalco7304]

I cannot comprehend why Sara is so underrated, she's amazing!

[@LadywatchingByrd]

If you don't bow down to the Beast and his horrid ways, you won't get far.

[@sweeney60]

Cause she doesn’t compromise who she is an artist. If she did, she’d be bigger than Brittany.

[@katiepaine]

Love this song and this rendition, but to quote Dexter Morgan "They make it look so easy; connecting with another human being. It's like no one told them it's the hardest thing in the world." This song gives me hope that maybe someday I can be Brave too!

[@rainedropssd8283]

This has been my “be brave” brave song since it got released and always listen to it when I’m down and be courageous and cry singing this at the top of my lungs

[@JuancaMarbello]

Great to hear this sound in this Orchest version.

[@kimidawn9]

I love that she claps for the orchestra at the end. She's amazing a just a genuine person!

[@kevinflynn5916]

Like when im watching brave I'm gonna save it for the arrow part cause it's my fave and some day ill catch that wave and come out of that cave looking up at the suns rays then ill make it play

[@LichtorWright_]

The orchestra is wonderful, Sara is so talented and beautiful, and I have a special appreciation for Ben f-ing Folds right here.. Bro is one of the most talented musicians in the world.. and has zero problems standing in the back banging on a drum, letting Sara have her moment.

[@samanthasponder1280]

This has so much meaning and is so true. Speak Truth To Power!!!!!!!!!

[@peternewbury4953]

That is one uplifting lady. What an energy!

[@rahullovesthepayne8690]

This makes me so happy, Sara B is always a delight.

[@CoffeeAGlass]

Her technique is lit 🔥🔥🔥

[@shadowsong1]

ungh. i could just imagine hearing it in the room with all those acoustics..that GIGANTIC subtle voice of hers. ungh.

[@honeybee06061]

this part is majestic 1:33 🤩

[@Germantownrunner]

I love this woman. Her confidence and encouragement for the many for who so long couldn't "let the words fall OUT." This song has empowered thousands to step into the light and their truth. Thank you, Sara.

[@samsmusichub]

This the performance I never thought I would get and now can no longer live without.

[@kennethperez2774]

Sara just want to say THANKYOU!

[@garyleesimon2358]

Beautiful version, beautiful lady, beautiful song!♥♥♥

[@charleswilson9480]

Such a Beautiful woman with a Beautiful voice with a Beautiful heart ..❤

[@JamieMcI]

This concert was one of my top musical experiences ever. What a treat to see this video posted to remind me. Hearing it in with the acoustics of the hall was soul lifting. Please post more!

[@WilliamWestcott111]

Jamie McIntyre I was on second row center. Did you take your daughter and sit on the front row?

[@JamieMcI]

I did!

[@Ikwileennieuwenaam_]

omg what more songs did she play?

[@crystaljones1747]

I BET that experience hit you differently than if it was performed in another type of arena!!

[@centreview]

How sweet a daddy daughter date...my heart...lol and I LOVE this video

[@WHSchoolMusic]

I listened to this song almost daily during my pregnancy with my daughter. It is my hope for her. This arrangement and performance gives it a fresh take. I absolutely love it.

[@graciabarr]

Defy anyone to sit still while listening and watching this. Love it!

[@jeffersonceballos832]

her voice is magical.. her techniques ..the control.. wow.😍

[@davidrodriguezc3724]

WE NEED A LIVE CD OF THIS!

[@gunnersplace]

Don’t run and stop holding your tongue , now is the time, be brave!

[@sherryberry2394]

I have watched this countless times already, how many times more? Love it. 🤗🥰

[@karlrim]

I didn't think this song could be any more epic until now

[@postcard9889]

One of the best vocal on earth!

[@randallkee7041]

What a finish by the orchestra, what a voice by Sara!!

[@SJmystic]

Great lyrics, great arrangement, great singing and all around great performance! Love Sara and was fun to see this song of hers performed with an orchestra. 🎶 May all who listen to this song in any form be emboldened to speak up tfor the best and highest good of all!! 🌈

[@blucy10]

The horns in that arrangement? Magnificent!

[@maidenfan237]

just amazing what a great talent

[@hecate451]

Still a favorite! I would love to meet Sara!

[@GladyReyes]

Amazing! I prefer listening to her live performances.

[@Thiago-px9ev]

Glady Reyes When an artist is great, its always better to watch a live performance because they can recreate their songs and we can feel much more emotion. And of course, its always nice to hear good singers singing live.

[@rongarcia9654]

watching this with a smile on my face.. she's really incredible 😍

[@pau8903]

I’ve listened to this song like a thousand times a day and still love it

[@sao28]

This just puts a smile on my face and warms my soul

[@annabelle7123]

I'm just so happy and proud that I went to her concert (surprisingly small) when she came to Seoul once upon a time !

[@keannapazpascua8713]

I have been smiling. The whole damn time. God, i love Sara

[@TsunefumiTakahashi]

Thank you for the declassification of national treasure！

[@billylouise1101]

Woooow 😁🙂👍

[@schoolvocalize]

Love this version, it mixes both the joyful feeling of the original and we can hear Sara's amazing vocals and contagious energy of the orchestra.

[@laneyhammett727]

Great love it congratulations

[@lorim.1528]

The most beautiful rendition! Thank you!! ❤

[@theresechiq]

Oh man this is so good! I'm crying with how good everything is from the singer, to the beautiful orchestra, and the beautiful message of the song.

[@gayematravers1612]

Love this! Love Sara! Ben Folds playing timpani in the back with complete gusto is icing on the cake!

[@1995TheDude]

This is what pop should be. Well composed and overflowing with talent on all sides.

[@YinYan_24]

You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do And they settle ‘neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down By the enemy Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing Bow down to the mighty Don’t run, stop holding your tongue Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave Innocence, your history of silence Won’t do you any good Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don’t you tell them the truth? Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you See you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you

[@moroteseoinage]

How could I ever love a woman other than Sarah B after watching this?

[@TimFromWinfield]

I love this song, and this version with the symphony is just amazing.

[@pibly674]

Sarah is awesome.

[@tobimike5252]

Love the song to begin with, but the arrangement here is simply amazing. And loving what Ben's doing on the percussion too. What a great performance. I've always enjoyed listening to Sara alone on the piano, but now I'd love to hear more of Sara with an orchestra.

[@rexcraigo]

How have I never seen this? I love Sara Bareilles. Saw her on Broadway, on the Little Black Dress tour and in everything she's done that's available. She's the best singer/songwriter of this time and it's not even close.

[@keesmuch]

Sara's lyrics are not just random words they carry a mantle and have significance to a live life. what an amazing artist. I am such in awe of her and how she moves me with her songs and I'm not even a fan of this genre.

[@carolsampietro9873]

I love this song! We should all live by this.

[@raeleneburn9103]

I just want to be there! Amazing arrangements. Love love love.

[@silentobserver3791]

Such a fabulous voice, such a great talent. Equalled only by Regina Spektor. I bow too you, Sara Bareilles.

[@bahen2beken2]

good vocal .. long breath

[@w.thomaslenherr6530]

Saw her in concert twice, once at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK. I swear she looked right at me and into my eyes. I think I fell in love that night.

[@duongtuannguyensanhtayphuo2788]

American spirit inherited from ancestor founding father, that is in invincible . Justice, wisdom and mercy. God bless American.

[@robertm7889]

What a genius song in a world that really needs ...Bravery! Love it!

[@kuenzangdema1999]

Gonna watch this all my life

[@diaargh]

The orchestral version is so mighty and lovely 💓💓💓

[@lou_sassole]

Soooooo soooooo good

[@MrDonphilipe]

This song is so much fun with an orchestra

[@akee0623]

That orchestra hit kills. 😭

[@erichartke4331]

Wow! So good so much skill in one room!!

[@amitandutube]

Love it !

[@evabrabcova5614]

[@xavierryanmaurilla9035]

I don't know why this makes me smile

[@camilletransfiguracion7329]

Is it possible to love her even more?

[@marinaxeix]

Awesoooomeee🥰🥰

[@dankivel3499]

Fantastic!!!!👏👏👏

[@duskden7938]

Talent and hardwork at their Peak - Sara Barellies

[@Happy2BUp]

Just love Sara and the words to "Brave" touch everyone's heart...yesterday, today or fear of tomorrows.

[@elainelee7963]

Another excellent arrangement by Alex Lacamoire!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Sara was, of course, awesome as usual! 😍

[@jack_barr]

For anyone wondering where Ben is, he is on the Timpani in the back wearing a maroon looking suit

[@AdamSherlip]

FYI, he's playing a turned down & muted bass drum, as well as a covered snare drum, not timpani

[@carloalcantara713]

yeah I was wondering like where is Ben Folds and why did they put him on the title? and then I saw him playing percussion lol

[@JaybeePenaflor]

You see him at 1:57

[@ezrac704]

He once said that he thought he would be a percussionist

[@alanhenderson53]

He looks like he's having fun!

[@szabolcsmilotai2764]

Beautiful! Thank you! Amazing talent!

[@peterchandler9014]

Just love her she has such a fabulous talent and her songs have such a beautiful positive message and smashes it here by a mile ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jerrykrueger9764]

She has earned the badge of DIVA.....

[@ariannetabugoca]

Wow, sobrang galing! 👏👏💯

[@victoreckler]

Love Sara. She’s Boss!!!

[@YinYan_24]

3:02 her voice..no words.. a natural trill?

[@gulyanamittarain828]

This is incredible performance ❤️❤️ i wish i have a chance to go to her concert. Hope, she will do tour in South East Asia.

[@Brian1ee]

SARA, thank you for making my day !!! This is truly delightful!

[@Osagerafe]

amazing singer

[@joshknoll5172]

I just discovered this video, and I can't stop watching it. It's so incredible! Love it!

[@colin4083]

Silence has a dignity all of its own; telling the truth looks like begging to in- crowds, cliques, gangs, etc. Sadly, that's the answer to your question, but I do, and will always love both this song and you for writing it.
