Sara Bareilles - I Choose You (Live at the Manderley Bar)

[@georgeharvey3062]

This was my wedding song for my second marriage after a horrible first marriage. It’s a perfect song to express how I felt finding TRUE love. I didn’t think I would find it but it happened.

[@mikedoesvoices525]

Love love love this for you! Congratulations! Somehow Sara can make even the perfect moments even better.

[@odysseyt1204]

This is the best performance she has ever given of this song. Honest, emotional, vulnerable ….spectacular.

[@EllenCherryCharles]

I so wish this specific version was released on one of her live albums…and I still want to know who the dude with the upright bass singing with her is!!

[@TREBORSAM]

It’s the timing and purity of the voice. Better live than recorded.

[@PedroTino1]

Can I start a petition to have this version on Spotify? It's the best one and its not even remotly close.

[@NoName-rx3px]

Yes!

[@francesdoyle1508]

I played this at our wedding last weekend. So much love ❤

[@NenadBach]

Genius, level artist, and I don’t say it lightly

[@KerriMcLatchy]

I walked down the aisle to this version of the song. So beautiful.

[@daniellebauer3678]

You are blessed ❤🙏

[@boltnut2065]

Her voice feels like souls holding hands, its so beautiful and wonderfully moving.

[@davereid-daly2205]

One of the best songwriters of all time....

[@patgau]

11 years later, I still come back to this song.

[@maybornlyngdohr]

I have been listening to this song for the last seven years. I kept waiting to dedicate this song to the woman whom I was going to meet, and now that I have met her, I dedicated this song to her. "Tell the world that we finally got it all right, I choose you". God bless you.💗

[@zepopiette]

So sweet...🙂

[@steveamato4857]

Give it time friend. She'll come around.

[@davemandel2673]

Sara,always my favorite.

[@rolandgilead78]

Beautiful song, but also just gorgeous poetry. "This is a beautiful start to a lifelong love letter." Chills.

[@joshliam1967]

Even live her voice is insanely good, real talent here.

[@rexcraigo]

+Liam James EVEN live? What's that supposed to mean? She's good recorded but you expected her to suck live?Makes no sense.

[@joshliam1967]

Rex Craigo There are a lot of pop stars who rely on studio wizardry to make their voices sound good on record, she's not one of them at allllll as her talent is for real.

[@tom7471]

+Angie XtotheO So funny! And spot on!

[@IQuarent]

Are you kidding??? Listen to black eyed peas on album, then listen to them on live. The difference is staggering.

[@ledzeppelin9102]

Almost no musicians sound the same live as on the record

[@mikegrier2829]

The simplicity of the performance and purity of her voice is simply amazing.

[@nicolecolmenero360]

Sara, your concert was the first concert my boyfriend (at the time) & I saw together and 4 years later your song was the first song played at Our wedding! Our wedding party walked down the aisle to this song and I cried as I watched from a hidden distance (happy tears of course!) Your music continues to be a special part of our relationship. Thank You for writing such beautiful songs and for performing them beautifully as well! Cheers to you!

[@someOtherGurl263]

omg the loveliest thing everrr! :’) stay strong!! 😍💕

[@nicolecolmenero360]

+amf26 thank you! 💕

[@nguyendat8292]

I'm planning to play this song at my wedding too. I even really think of inviting Sara to perform live during the ceremony. Simply beautiful

[@dhruv417]

That's just so lovely...Bless You!!! And yes, this indeed is one of the loveliest song i have ever heard

[@marcelsan1224]

how sweet! I wish I witnessed that.

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

Its pretty crazy how you can tell even just from hearing the studio versions of her songs how good of a musician and songwriter she is. I've heard some of her stuff at work having never heard of her before, and I could tell she wrote her own music and probably played multiple instruments just based on how well everything fit together and how tasteful her singing voice is.

[@MelanieLanuza]

She has such amazing demand and control of her voice. I wish I could transition from my chest voice to my head voice that seamlessly. She executes the range and amount of notes in the word "Choose" in this song perfectly! I'm thankful there are still popular female artists today who can actually write songs with meaningful lyrics and SING without autotune. Yay, Sara!!!!

[@macglower1419]

That little look over her shoulder to make eye contact with the bass player telling him she's totally vibing is really telling. This is a really tight performance...

[@6thCaptain1]

This generation needs more artists like her. She's soooo great! I hope she visits Philippines. She has lots of fans here. :)

[@kathreenbelle5489]

👍👍

[@jeanelyngrafil2750]

😀😀😀 Sya talaga hinihintay ko

[@jeanetteklaus8216]

I agree! Pure beautiful talent!

[@cailatibayan5744]

Trueeeeee!

[@averylo3619]

It's my dream to watch her live in the Philippines.

[@meluliss]

Sara's voice is out of this world.

[@maggiewang957]

Notice how her pitch is perfect even live Truly amazing🙌

[@coachfuzz524]

She also taught herself to play all those instruments

[@sereanaduwai8313]

That is one thing that really freaks me out about her voice. The upright bass player is in a class of his own also.

[@James-nr9gm]

I discovered this for a friend who is teaching me the guitar part so she can sing over it. It's such a great song! I am blown away at Sara Bareilles' voice. Like, what a beautiful, refined, practiced instrument.

[@cliffmedney7876]

My daughter, Samantha turns 24 tomorrow...and I recently discovered she loves Sara. I feel so blessed that she has such talented women to inspire her. Given i had a near fatal heart attack when she was 7, every B-day I share with Sam (even by feeling her vibe through music) is just so freakin special. Thank you Sara

[@paulmartin2499]

What a beautiful post. I hope you're doing well today and get to share moments with your daughter all the time. God Bless. -paul

[@nickrogers8588]

I don't know how many times I've listened to this version and it gives me chills. Every. Time.

[@Miss_Camel]

Same, it’s by far the best version, even out of the fan recorded live performances. Who is the Adam Baldwin-lookin guy on the bass singing backup? He’s totally the key

[@nickrogers8588]

@@Miss_Camel Yeah. The arrangement between the two is just right.

[@Miss_Camel]

@@nickrogers8588 also the best version of “gravity” is the one she did with her college a capella group, and I will die on that hill.

[@morganscolourfulcreations876]

Everytime

[@ZeroTheHeroGOAT]

There's just something about this girl. Lovely voice, nice music and tons of charisma. Lovely face as well by the way.

[@alexfielden9743]

this lady has never written a bad song, she always stuns me...

[@kellybarthel8060]

Sara, thank you for your songs, I am a single dad of an 11 year old girl who is just getting into music more. I can put your videos on and be happy that they are just quality, music, writing, and singing. Some of the videos are quirky and funny, some are more serious, and some like this are just sweet, like my daughter. Awesome! Thank you. So much horrible stuff out there targeted at teens I am glad you are an oasis. I do know this Christmas she will have several of your CDs under the tree, and I can put them there happy that they will be come a part of her.

[@Hilarious1972]

Amazingly talented and stunningly beautiful. ❤❤

[@thirdylukealdevez7631]

How can she be this underrated.?

[@kaelyntai7433]

I don't know?

[@raconteuse5332]

Most people have bad taste. It's a case of the lowest common denominator appealing to most... And she's definitely NOT old!

[@skye1212]

Not anymore. A lot has changed in the last 5 yrs.

[@tomcox22]

*Underrated by who? She has millions of downloads, has earned 6 grammys, and is a best selling author**

[@saraadams9518]

i rack my brain daily trying to begin to understand that. Or, that's she's 0-7 when it comes to Grammy's. She DESERVES A GRAMMY!!!!

[@tukangmasaksotoyasal2an]

Not the easiest song to sing. Yet she was always in control. She's really an incredible singer.

[@lifelovejourney]

Andreas Novianto she wrote it right?

[@Yesterdayss]

If you write and record a song yourself, you're probably able to sing it.

[@glorialuna3633]

She did great 😊

[@jasminecommercemusic]

Exactly. I always grit my teeth when a couple asks for this song for their wedding. Defs not the hardest ever, but she makes it sound easier than it is! :-)

[@MrDarren690]

What makes it hard to sing? I don't sing so I don't know.

[@Liz86000]

She's amazing but the guy behind her is also wonderful. What a great team !

[@VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM]

This live version is amazing. The sound quality is fantastic too. Sara is glowing with beauty. I've listened to this like 100 times over the years. I wish I could buy the uncompressed WAV file.

[@veraannique262]

Phenomenal woman. She's so good it just hurts. One of the few artists out there who writes, sings and lives with her heart out on her sleeve all the while remaining humble and HUMAN.

[@deborahstarman9874]

When no one thinks you can succeed, when everyone calls you a failure, it doesn't take much to prove them wrong

[@norrispg4212]

I can't get enough of this girl.

[@MrDonphilipe]

Sara, can we agree this is a very tender song. You matter so much to me. I want to make sure you’re feeling okay about any type of directions, paths, and maybe even the trajectories that we might end up going with where this song, and, by default, our relationship is heading over the long term.

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

A wonderful female voice! She sings, she writes, she is amazing! Listen up, world! You will love Sara too! How could you not?

[@rebeccasamuell77]

I just discovered this song yesterday. It was playing in a grocery story. It’s been on repeat ever since. So beautiful. If I ever get married again, this is the song. ❤

[@SirotaChiropracticOffices]

There is no one more beautiful inside or out. Heavenly.

[@LovelyCasauay]

I really really like that guy who was playing an instrument behind her while second voicing. He was totally feelin' the song while playing it! I lavet

[@cragarminor4878]

Smoky old bar in the Village about 1966. My heart touched even deeper in this now. Sara, the heart spy.

[@JS_bass]

Beautiful voice...beautiful song...

[@kalexambing2507]

Not only is Sara Bareilles an Amazing singer, but she is just amazing at playing her instruments! Their rests in the songs are so together!

[@InTheEndOnlykindnessMatters]

Beautiful , beautiful , beautiful , beautiful , beautiful song !

[@samglickman5961]

Watching Sara sing this song is breathtaking. What a talent!

[@nicspits9876]

Stay with your own style, don't let the marketers spoil you PLEASE! YOU do great work, keep it up, we need you. I may be 7 years late, but what you have in your voice is what keeps us going, don't let anyone tell ya different.

[@sjoeld57]

The sound quality of this recording is excellent. That is all Sara singing..... live..... playing a guitar.... she has many different looks, and they are all beautiful! She always looks as good as she sounds.....

[@Halffastpaddler]

Ms. Bareilles has impressed me so greatly. She has a huge voice, she is always on key using an amazing variety of passing notes (but never any wasted), and is a tremendous talent at arranging a song. Always , in every performance I've watched, whether cover or original, she "brings it." I am a huge fan of covers - but I don't think covers should be done EXACTLY the same. I feel like covers should be done as if the songwriter brought the song to the new artist first, and it's the first performance ever of that song. The performing artist has to bring something to the table. Ms. Bareilles does that - and then some. Somehow she blends the creativity of the original recording artist and her own take on the song and comes up with something both familiar and original. She is fully in charge, universally creative, and extraordinarily talented. She must have worked so incredibly hard to have the multitude of challenging skills she deploys in each and every song performance.

[@gregulasiewiczcoachu1816]

This is the 2nd straight Sara Bareilles song I've listened to on this Christmas day...and it's amazing how important to the experience it is... that very first note...and then the rest. The first stroke of this artist is magical, is Heaven, is a gift...Christmas.

[@scablet]

SHES THE SINGer..that never fails to make me automatically close my eyes..savor her every note..

[@TheIgnitedRed]

fell in love with this version! she's so talented!

[@brianzaborowski2724]

+ignited red She has a beautiful voice! ... after hearing her version of Yellow Brick Road, any time I hear Elton's version come on the radio I have to change the channel now ... nothing compares to Sara's version!

[@TheIgnitedRed]

Brian Zaborowski never heard her version, but gotta listen to it :)

[@saraadams9518]

me too, like 6 years ago, right? ;)

[@resiliencycoping7119]

Absolutely LOVE Sara,s performance. The world needs her voice and beautiful spirit.

[@neoisgod9]

If this song doesn't make you stop and listen, I mean truly give you a moment of absolute attention, then I feel bad for you. This is one of those songs that just captures your attention and makes you want to feel exactly what she is talking about; whether you have it or not.

[@MichaellaSapphire]

Exactly what happened to me! this song is so catchy, it makes you wonder what she's singing about.

[@1973cableguy]

What a beautiful human person.

[@avishai333]

Sara, you voice is so beautiful and pure... This song just got me to tears to think of when I got married to my husband... You're an incredible artist!!

[@94bananapancakes]

Her voice is so pure and sweet it makes my heart melt

[@benosborn2395]

Ana Moura agreed.

[@78Hapagrl]

Sara is amazing!!1 Her voice and her writing touches my heart. She is a blessing.

[@MrDonphilipe]

In my mind you’re somewhere between joan of arc, katniss everdeen, and daenerys targarean, all mixed up in one outstanding woman, i love.

[@mntsanmiguel]

Notice how perfect every tone was. Such an angelic voice. Beautiful song. ❤👌👏👏👏🎵🎤

[@mcyak8355]

Let the bough break, let it come down crashing Let the sun fade out to a dark sky I can't say I'd even notice it was absent Cause I could live by the light in your eyes I'll unfold before you What I've strung together The very first words Of a lifelong love letter Tell the world that we finally got it all right I choose you I will become yours and you will become mine I choose you I choose you (Yeah) There was a time when I would have believed them If they told me you could not come true Just love's illusion But then you found me and everything changed And I believe in something again My whole heart will be yours forever This is a beautiful start To a lifelong love letter Tell the world that we finally got it all right I choose you I will become yours and you will become mine I choose you I choose you We are not perfect We'll learn from our mistakes And as long as it takes I will prove my love to you I am not scared of the elements I am under-prepared, but I am willing And even better I get to be the other half of you Tell the world that we finally got it all right I choose you Yeah I will become yours and you will become mine I choose you I choose you I choose you

[@tamukamoyom8907]

You have the voice of an angel Sara.

[@varovaro1967]

Whoever made this recording deserves an Oscar! I wish all the videos had this quality... Shes like here with me...

[@danpan11]

This song means a lot to me, I asked my wife to marry me by playing/singing this song with my guitar in a surprise party that me and our friends planned together. She couldn't believe it and was so shocked. Everytime I listen to this I remember that day and the love we feel!

[@billbernhard3582]

Enormous joy and honesty pervades this performance & song !

[@estherherrera6030]

Walking down the isle next May to this version of this song! Absolutely beautiful!!! 😍

[@jpbevier]

Sara is amazing, she gives so much emotion to her songs, you can hear it in her words and see it in her face and eyes and body. This artist makes me smile.

[@JouMadrid]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever created, no doubts.

[@alicetulllyhall1]

ment to say "no matter how f'd up" this world is, it is a comfort to know there will ALWAYS be art.

[@lilly27sings]

The song is so perfect and cute and upbeat the original way, but it is SO beautiful and genuine the acoustic way. I couldn't 'choose' one over the other ;) They are both amazing!

[@maisarocha3104]

Eu amei essa música desde a primeira vez que ouvi.

[@indiehigh4662]

Your comment is so lovely, as much as Sara's song!

[@puddingsharks]

I want this song at my wedding! I can just see us dancing to it!

[@tallbeauty]

Such a beautiful song and a beautiful voice. Heard this on the radio yesterday and was blown away!

[@bamaslamma29]

Saw her in concert a few years ago. My sister and I sat in awe as she held a high note for almost an entire minute. She's incredible.

[@johnyekel5599]

I can't believe this only has close to 5 million views.To me, this is a better version than the radio version,I love it.

[@coachfuzz524]

john yekel yeah way better

[@swale12]

amazingly pure vocal range....please live forever

[@dleacarroll6273]

I think she's amazing & oh so talented, versatile and personality!

[@timreynolds2643]

I saw Sara in concert a couple of years ago, she is fantastic and so down to earth with the audience. What an experience if that wasn’t a great time I don’t know what is. When a person puts so much of their self out to others it is a precious gift that must be acknowledged, thank you Sara!

[@teddiepenbrock914]

This song is ridiculously beautiful!

[@tacosupreme6895]

She is absolute perfection! That's it.

[@charlespendleton551]

How does anyone give this a thumbs down!?!? I get chills listening to this version, especially at 3:19 of the song

[@donnaking-nykolaycuyk6091]

I choose you. It is what everyone wants to hear from their beloved. And what everyone should say to the person they love.
