Sara Bareilles - Gravity



This is a very beautiful song, and if you see the meaning of the song, very deep. It's about what we don't see but it happens. A girl being with someone she loves but being abused, trying very hard to run away, and try even harder, trying very hard to leave but she could not. She is still caught in his hands. Love like this is painful, and is torturing, suffering in pain. In the end of the day, she is still caught in that abuse. As much as she wanted to, she could not. The same circle keeps on repeating. Not knowing where to go, not knowing where to run to, and not knowing where she could get help. She thought she is strong enough to stand by her own, only to realize she is not. She wants her freedom to live and begging him to set her free and everything is down to zero. She ends of being abused. It's an addiction, having something which is not good.

Though we don't see and feel any abuse case in front of our eyes, because most of them are hidden, and shy away from public eye. Brutal truth is, it happens, a lot. Just that we don't see it and to be caught in that situation is tragic.

Dancing to this song is filled with emotions. The moves, the momentum, all is about gracefulness, it's all about expressing oneself. It's the most beautiful, most engaging feeling when dancing to songs like this.
