Lyrics:
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding there's a way out
Say out loud, we will not give up on love now
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We'll say we did not give up on love today

"If the bottom drops out, I hope my love was someone else's solid ground"
Such a hauntingly beautiful song. This line particularly resonates with me because isn't that the ultimate goal? That your kindness truly makes a positive difference in someone's life.
Yes this. This is what it's all about.
These two get it.
Exactly........
I learned that Orpheus was a mythological man in love who lost his wife and had a chance to bring her back to life thanks to his music that could touch every soul and living being. But when trying to lead her invisible shadow to life which he wasn't supposed to look at, he turned around by looking at her, lost her forever.
Sara's ability to tell stories is such a gift to the world. She's a modern-day hopeful and brave Orpheus that makes every soul believe we can hold on to love and never turns away from it.
I got chills reading this... she certainly touches souls with her music, a true artist, one of a kind!
I certainly agree with all your points, I just would like to add that from my recollection he didn't give up in the sense that he just left her behind. He was explicitly told he can lead the way outside as long as he doesn't turn around to look at her. But going up he grew impatient and he couldn't hear her footsteps (obv she was a spirit) and so he turned around just before she faded aways and returned to the underworld forever. So if he had listened to the conditions to save her they could've had a life together but he didn't have enough trust and was impatient.
@@sarahkosian6475 you're totally right! I just shortened the story because the fact that he turned was like giving up too soon :)
@@cristiampino3686 she is magnificent. I'd give anything to see her live.
@@jof6619 itś a wonderful story and she uses the analogy so well, she´s incredible....
I sang this song to my sweet husband while he was passing from cancer in 2020. Still makes me weep. It probably always will.
What a beautiful gift you gave his spirit ❤
sara, how could you know over a year ago that we would so desperately need this anthem for our current troubled time? thank you.
This is my anthem. It applies to relationships and circumstances in my life so strongly right now. Thanks you Sara.
So true👍❤
Our time was already troubled in 2019.
My favorite song....
The times are only troubled because we allow a powerful few to set false narratives and oppress us with lies. What we need is not an anthem about misery from compliance to falsehoods. But, absolute defiance to lies and use of our common sense. Beautiful song, tho. Loved it
She's a lyrical genius. Her lyrics always give me chills. So beautiful
Come by the fire, lay down your head
My love, I see you're growing tired
So set the bad day by the bed, and rest a while
Your eyes can close
You don’t have to do a thing but listen to me sing
I know you miss the world, the one you knew
The one where everything made sense
Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works
'Til the bottom drops out and you learn
We're all just hunters seeking solid ground
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
Hold me in the dark, and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
I'll show you good, restore your faith
I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
Convince you love, don’t breathe it in
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
And it has no name, no guarantee
It’s just the promise of a day I know that some may never see
But that's enough, if the bottom drops out
I hope my love was someone else's solid ground
Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
Hold me in the dark, and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
Bessen Philip ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks
You're a good lad
Sorry to spoil this, I really am, but did you copy and paste that from the description?
@@Abi-hm7iw lol..i dont know really, if those lyrics were there in the desc at that time...a year ago i guess...i searched for this lyrics in comments but none was there...so i googled and pasted it...had i seen this desc i wouldnt have pasted it here...glad that the lyrics are there in desc...
The other night, my husband rolled over to cuddle me after turning off the lights, and had this song queued up to play. It was the sweetest "I LOVE YOU" ever! ❤
Literally a day before a live performance of this was uploaded to TH-cam for the first time I was talking my girlfriend late at night and I remember saying, "In a single year, or just a few months you can lose so much of what you love. All the truth vanishes. The people I loved all suddenly just changed beyond recognition at the end of 2016. And no matter how much I miss the way things used to be, I can't forget none of it was true."
Next morning on TH-cam I hear one of my all-time favourite singers go:
"I know you miss the world, the one you knew
The one where everything made sense
Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works
’Til the bottom drops out and we learn
We're all just hunters seeking solid ground"
Sara is an angel. And may be this won't ever be a popular song or even win a grammy, but this is the kind of music that can change and save people by winning hearts. And that's all that matters.
Thank You, Sara Bareilles.
Are you sure It was "everyone else" that changed? Maybe you did some upgrading ;)
@@strawberryme08 Obviously it's a quote out of context so I can't blame you for drawing any conclusion you like. But no, not "everyone". Not my parents, not my girlfriend... Just some that I loved and trusted for the longest time of my life. It's a personal matter that I'd rather put all out in the open. Just something happened, and I ended up in a hospital when I least expected it... And that's how you really learn who your people are. When people you have trusted all your life betray and let you down and don't even care enough to say sorry you finally see the truth. And yeah, may be people never really change. It's just I didn't know the truth of who they were. And I believed in my convictions about them bcz that seemed to be my only "solid ground".
The point: This is the most personally relatable song I have ever heard. Sara's Blessed Unrest had some amazing songs that I had found relatable back then to. She's not like all those other pop artists out there dissing about their way too many ex-boyfriends. Her lyrics are not about her. Not pointed. Not directed. Not about anybody. Yet so many can relate to every word. That's real music. The kind we have no appreciation for these days.
@@AnandamoyBandyopadhyay Sarah is awesome. I get what you are saying. I didn't think "everyone" but sometimes it feels that way when you go through something hard and yes, you truly do find out who your friends truly are when things get hard. I still call it an "upgrade" the people who stuck are higher quality and you know they have your back, if you are laying on it sick or injured haha. I also have deep connection to all her music. It's relatable and has depth. a lot of the people in the world now days seriously lack depth
What a beautiful commentary on your connection to "Orpheus." I love hearing about spiritual, in your case almost mystical, connections. My best friend from high school almost 35 years ago, we agreed this was one of her most beautiful of the new songs. On disparate paths, "Orpheus" also recounts the winding journeys for my friend and me. Thanks for sharing your story. Wouldn't it be cool if Sara won Best Pop Vocal Performance in 2020? I believe she has a worthy contender for Album of the Year!
@@strawberryme08 Hi, I love the way you use "upgrade" for a situation like that.... Live is not static, no matter how much we love a moment, a period, people, even our adored pets. I just lost my little fluffy com[panion, she was with me for 15 years. I miss her so much... She went to sleep in my arms. Lost of any kind is painful...
"You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing."
I don't WANT to do a thing but listen to you sing, Sara!
Amidst the chaos in my life, I found Sara’s music.
Gorgeous Soul - Saint Sara 👑 saviour for the 'poison in this Place'
literally me now
Welcome to the tribe of, “this woman is so fucking underrated.” She’s incredible in every sense.
I think that I have heard this song 1000 times......
I see what you did there.
This is the music you listen to at 3am when you can't sleep and this gives you peace and comfort.
And it's 4.40 am here in Malaysia
I guess this world doesn't deserve this melody. It's too beautiful 😭😭😭
This song is a masterpiece. Not much else to say beyond that. Gold.
My husband and I have been going through a tough time lately. We’re gay and my in laws are right wing conservative Christians. Needless to say the struggle has been real and taking a toll on our marriage. When this song came on the lyrics hit me so hard when she said the line “find me amidst the chaos” I just started to cry. Was not expecting this song to hit me the way it did and to sort of become my little anthem I play now when I’m trying to stay strong.
Hi Joey Smith, Sad that the in laws are making life difficult for you and your husband. It must feel sometimes as if you are on your own little island and that the tide is rising. I hope that you and your husband can take strength and comfort from your mutual love, and realize that you do not need the approval of others to live the life you were meant to live.
Too many Christians are not Christ-like, they forget his second commandment, to treat others as you would want to be treated. It's not who you love, but how you love.
Stay strong, Joey! I know it's easier to say than done, but life is too short to worry about people's consent or opinions.
@@jdp1950 Yes! Too many Christians also forget that above all laws, there is love.
@@darthmandude Love is the highest law 💗
Songs like this have always been my true religion. The ones that touch me, surge something through me, make my eyes wet, and make me feel alive.
Oh my! Sara is a true gift. Give this genius the Grammy!
I kinda feel like saving this song as a future lullaby for whenever I have kids
Same!
Me and my 8 year old sing this together. I have to interpret so she understands the meaning of the song. Hopefully one day it helps her get through difficult times.
@@ivettecruz7768 That's beautiful, Ivette! I have a song that my mom "dedicated" to me when I was little, and it is sooo meaningful. I'm sure this one will help her and wrap her through tough times, big time!
Currently pregnant and came to save this to a playlist I'm making for my little nugget ❤️
@@alexaonther0x I looove this ❤️! Congrats :)
I'm convinced Sara is an interdimentional being. Channeling all of the souls past and ahead.
This woman's ability to write is worldly.
She has been a satellite through my trials and tribulations.
No words could ever create what my heart feels as my soul transfers through each tune
✌💛🙂
Be silent, listen deeply, know that you are ,strong hug.
Wow....this song is beyond our existence....
You cannot convince me that this song isn't a lullaby.
We did not give up on love today. ♥️
Sara creates songs that can take on so many meanings for different people and are so freakishly moving and beautiful. She’s a gift to this world
"I hope my love was someone else's solid ground."
played this song tonight alone in the living room, and then my mother showed up, awakened by the beauty of the song. Thank you Sara for this masterpiece
"I know you miss the world the one you knew" god. it's like she read my thoughts. I would love to lie down and just listen to you sing Sara.
Sara is one of the greatest singers ever! Excellent lyrics, excellent tunes.
Anyone else imagining her as Persephone in Hadestown while listening to this song? Like afterwards when the story’s over and she wants to know if Hades would pass the test if they had to. And she knows he can do it, but there’s the conviction that she needs to know he learned from Orpheus and Eurydice, or if it’s too late for change. And either way, I’m happy to listen over and over again while waiting for an answer.
OH MY GOD YES
WOW YES
Who gave you the right to make me cry--
By the way, your idea is perfect.
No. Sara wouldn't be the high strung, party girl Penelope of the play Hadestown. She'd be the sweet, loving, gentle goddess Hades fell in love with in the sunshine. But creatures like this can't live underground.
this song sounds like it was written for what we are going through right now.....her mind is so powerful
Maybe we met at the wrong timeline. Until the next universe we meet again, maybe there I can truly love you the way I love you now. No regrets and restraints. May this message reach you. Until then my butterfly 🦋
I used to think the "used to be mine" was my favorite song of Sara until I discovered this song, this song is so powerful, has story, with so much meaning since I did a research of the "Orpheus mitology" , I feel a great conection ! Im so happy the Sara doesnt allow herself to be carried by the artifical music of this days, she has an special spark, authentic spark.
Same !!!
Saint honesty shud come second. Love that song too.
@@SamSung-mj6lg mee too , completely agree! 🙌🏼
@@SamSung-mj6lg Wow perfectly same with you three !!!!!!! Orpheus She used to be mine Saint Honesty Brave etc are all my favorites...
@@pigul8038 are we connected ? Haha same as me 👏👏
When I thought I have listened to all the beautiful songs I could ever listen in my life, Sara writes Orpheus and I start crying without knowing how to call this feeling in my heart, and I find out it's just happiness and gratitud for Sara's life and talent. This is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful songs I've heard.
From the bottom of my heart thanks, Sara.
Same here!
this song should heal the world!
I think this is my favourite! Takes me to another place - a warm a comforting place at that.
Same, it just takes me competent to another place. Of peace, amidst the chaos ❤️
yeah me too so far.....first one that i deeply connect to
I agree.
This is so beautiful and it made me cry. I love how Sara’s music can have so many meanings...more than just relationships. I appreciate that so much. We’re so lucky to be living in this time to hear her music.
This is such a soothing, hauntingly beautiful song. I love it.
This is the most beautiful thing I've heard in a while.
Sara is the only woman who can make me cry, every time.
Love from Antwerp, Belgium
Is zij al eens in België geweest? Ik zou haar ook graag eens live zien
Through tears.....I agree.
I am awestruck when I hear Sara's first few tones. Been a musician since 4, Boston. Played in most of the bands and all the clubs. Sara mentions the drummer in this album, I think, and yes, he is truly gifted with Sara's music. Couldn't do it better :) Awesome, some, awes, ome.
@@SweetestSmile21 'k Hou het in de gaten, zou ook dolgraag een optreden meemaken. Is sinds Eva Cassidy geleden dat een stem me zo kan raken, elke keer weer.
Groetjes,
Marc
I imagine myself dancing in the room with the man I will love for the rest of my life while this song plays. I hope that day comes. ❤️
I only recently discovered Sara’s music, and I’ve been falling completely in love with it over the last month or so. It’s nice to see I’m not alone! She’s really an extraordinarily talented person...
I hope to dance to this song at my wedding! It doesn’t get any more romantic than this!
What an absolutely gorgeous song, so beautifully written and performed. I'm sure this will touch many people at just the right time they need to hear it.
One of the most beautiful songs she has wrote ❤️
My favorite song from her new album. She's so fucking amazing
I,m just smitten with the beauty of this piece. Words are insufficient to describe the perfect wonder of this poetic melody.
This woman hypnotizes me! I just love her! Best songwriter of ballads out there right now!
My God this is extraordinary and so beautiful. Like warm sun on my face.
How is it that you only have 5k likes for THIS song???? It is beautiful and has helped me/us heal. Thank you Sara!!!
To me personally, the most beautiful song of the album. It puts a smile and a sigh in me every time I listen to it. I marvel on the mixture of feelings. Love the anticipation of knowing song eight is about to play. A dream song, poetic, meaningful lyrics, gorgeous melody, caressing vocals, sad yet hopeful, reminisce of a love that might make it or not, the uncertainly makes it so real, so emotional, enticing and precious... Love its magic beyond explanation, which elicits, all at once, something sweet, loving, and shattering in me. Thank you for this soul balm of a song. Love.
It's fitting that this is my favorite song off this album because "Cassiopeia" is my favorite song off The Blessed Unrest. Of all her work, I haven't loved anything as much as I love The Blessed Unrest, but this whole album came pretty close. Can't wait for more music from her, as always!
This is my freaking favorite ❤️❤️❤️
this was much needed during these uncertain, dark and chaotic times!
"we are just hunters seeking solid ground... say out loud we will not give up on love today" That sums up life in a few words! Sara is a true artist that you can listen to a song and hear something new every time you play. I will not give up on the world to love!
“I hope my love was someone else’s solid ground” this touches so deeply to me. I am someone whose reason for doing something is for someone else. Even if I barely know them. They are my reason. I hope my love will be someone else’s solid ground. I can’t be the only one.
thank you.
i will not give up.
this is the song that i need today
Sara's song titles are deceivingly AMAZING!
The whole album is perfect this one 👏💗
this is one of the best music I've ever heard.
I've been obsessed with this song these past few weeks and I was in a French supermarket and heard it on the radio. It made my day. Thank you for your music and lots of love from France!
2:09 I love her tone when she says "poison." I mean she sings it all beautifully, but that one word ironically comes out so beautifully.
Yes! It's just beautiful.
More than any other singer, I notice how much Sara changes her voice, tone, phrasing etc. with each song. She never just opens her mouth and starts singing - she works each phrase so that it expresses exactly what she wants to say. And so many songs are sung with a unique approach. For example on her first album, on “Vegas” she sounds loose and kinda drunk; “Between The Lines” is bitter regret; “Love On The Rocks” is sassy; “Gravity” is a whispered secret.
And it goes on like that album after album.
@@Invisiguy I love all the different tones in Kaleidoscope Heart. From Hold My Heart to Basket Case, to Machine Gun, to Bluebird... it's a nice ride of an album, and I totally know what you mean!
That being said, her albums are so distinguishable by sound in general. I don't love a lot of Amidst the Chaos, but this song definitely is at the pinnacle of some of her best songs.
Brandon, Kaleidoscope Heart is currently her album that I play to death, too!
I feel like her early songs were typically about working through her emotions, and - having already plowed those fields - on Blessed Unrest and Amidst The Chaos she is more focused on exploring interesting musical ideas. (As you probably know, Sara always starts with the musical idea, not the lyrics, which blew my mind since her lyrics are so strong!)
ATC was the first album I bought, and I was hooked - but each additional album is a new “Wow...”
I feel like the run of songs on KH from Say You’re Sorry on through Bluebird are like a trance - absolute perfection. That’s a real accomplishment for a sophomore album.
In some ways, this is my favorite song by Sara. I love it philosophically.
This literally my go to song when people tend to left me. This always lifted me up I should always wait for someone who will save me amidst the chaos, who is braver than Orpheus, someone who will consider my love to be his own solid ground
Dear Sarah. Thank you for this song, the honesty and kindness in it. This song saved me from an anxiety attack after a bad breakup.
Definitely one of my favourites from this album. Love your music, your words... your artistry. Thank you for sharing it with the world, Sara. Really...
I would die for this woman ... so blessed to have her making beautiful music for us ❤️
I’ve been listening to this one on repeat today. It’s just so calming and so wonderful. It makes me want to sit by a fire and gaze into the stars with my love’s around me after a horrible long day full of kisses and sweetness.
When I listen to your music at times it feels like you're singing directly in to my heart. So grateful for your existence Sara
HER RANGE
This song is a f-masterpiece!
i listen to power metal. this is one of the top 5 songs i have ever heard in my life. i am a christian, so i am not afraid to weep in the face of beauty, and so i hold this song in a regard that my lord gave to me to experience. god bless this song and sara.
Check out Saint Honesty if you like this one.
Come by the fire
Lay down your head
My love I see you're growing tired
So set the bad day by the bed
And rest a while
Your eyes can close
You don't have to do a thing
But listen to me sing I know
You miss the world
The one you knew
The one where everything made sense
Because you didn't know the truth
That's how it works
Till the bottom drops out
And you learn
We're all just hunters seeking solid ground
Don't stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding
There's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear
Don't you turn like Orpheus
Just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
I'll show you good
Restore your faith
I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
Convince you love, don't breathe it in
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
And it has no name
No guarantee
It's just the promise of a day
I know that some may never see
But that's enough
If the bottom drops out
I hope my love was someone else's solid ground
Don't stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding
There's a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear
Don't you turn like Orpheus
Just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
How dare this song be so eternally timeless. Lol😂❤
This is so indescribably beautiful.
Sara, thank you for sharing the beauty of your words and music with us! I am always amazed by your ability to convey soul-deep meaning!
I'd be honored if some Sara B fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of her first hit LOVE SONG in tribute to one of the greatest albums of the '00s decade as well as to the release of Amidst the Chaos (Sara's FIFTH album!). Live acoustic on my YT channel with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Okay but imagine dancing this under the moonlight with the one you love...
Simply Natalie can’t to experience that with song this album is so tender
Please Sara and SME, release this song as a single!! I know it will top the charts around the world!! ♥JR
Absolutely love the melody of this song….there are thousands of musical artists but Sara is a true song writer. Just beautiful 🥰
this song is sooo beautiful a hidden gem...When i first heard this song while biking i need to stop and look whos the artist
Amidst the Chaos Had2 be a Line in a Song As Special As this... S.B is Our Antitode for the 'poison in this Place...pls dont give up - 2day' ♥️
Thank you for writing this album, its the first thing that's spoken to me and helped my broken heart. Your music has always spoken to me when I needed it.
Looove this song, my absolute favourite apart from „fire“ and „armor“ 💓
Best song on the album 💖
I just heard this song for the first time today in a Sears and wow, I actually almost started crying in the middle of the men's clothing section. Thank God we've got music finder apps so I was able to find this song. This is beautiful.
Your music, it's like God herself is singing to me - honestly. "Don't you turn like Orpheus". Ahh man, you said on your Times Talks interview that songwriting was a way you connect to God and it really really shows, cause there's been a couple of your songs that have been hugely significant for me - and before Saint Honesty came out I didn't connect the dots that they were yours. Your lyrics are lovely. The vibe of this song is so stunning. Your voice is angelic. Hope I meet you someday cause girl if I could explain I'm so doing it in person!
One of the best song ever.....italy 01/april/2020.
I
hear
you sing
Orpheus
and
I
melt
in
tender blue
What a stunning song this is! wow. Builds up so beautifully, hauntingly, sweetly.
These songs stick to your soul and give solace. I absolutely love this cd and the artist herself.💖
I'm currently listening to hers and Christina Perri's music.
Sara is my favourite and this album is beautiful. The lyrics, instruments, her voice, the rhythms.
Amidst the chaos is worth listening 24/7
!!!
Beautiful prayer plea that we all should be able to relate to in our lives if we’re human!!
this song is beyond beautiful.
when she sings Everything in My Heart turns to gold💔🌹
I love you sarah. thanks for making this song.
Love builds the world. It lifts us from the ashes of what was to become what will be.
Gentility and power, ,wrapped up in a moment's expressive story-telling ! Lovely !
who gave you the right to play with my heart like that?
Une fois de plus je decouvre cette chanson de Sara Bareilles qui m'emeut comme toutes ses chansons.. Quelle superbe voix. Dommage que nous ne l"entendions pas sur les ondes en France 🇨🇵🎶🇨🇵😍❤
Someone was my solid ground many years ago. Now, perhaps, I have a chance to return the favour.
I listen to this song to put away all the stresses of the world and enjoy her awesome voice! Love it!
"Set the bad day by the bed," my favorite lyric from my new favorite song!! 🤗 🎹💞💯
Thank you for your beautiful voice. Thanks for reminding us of love in these times! London needs you now!
