Something always brings me back to you It never takes too long No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone You hold me without touch You keep me without chains I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love And not feel your reign Set me free, leave me be I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity Here I am, and I stand So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be But you're on to me and all over me Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile When I thought that I was strong But you touch me for a little while And all my fragile strength is gone Set me free, leave me be I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity Here I am, and I stand So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be But you're on to me and all over me I live here on my knees as I try to make you see That you're everything I think I need here on the ground But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down You're keeping me down, eh ooh You're on to me, on to me, and all over Something always brings me back to you It never takes too long
hey Seth! Thanks for commenting! YES I just released a free PDF Guide & video for this (my) arrangement! I apologize it took so long to get back to you. Grab the PDF here, it's got everything you need to play it including tips for the intro, chords, lyrics, hammer on tricks, etc. bitly.com/2HEv4Ap
Still one of the most inspiring and best cover of this song. It felt so nostalgic plus the place where you were singing, it all adds to the magic of this cover.
This song is a very sweet hymn for that feeling of absence that keeps you captive after the only one love. Your performance is perfect for that. Thank you
This came so close to bringing me to tears. . .your voice is spellbinding. . . .and somehow there is such an honest sound to it. I never want it to end. Don't ever stop singing. . .or posting! haha
+Derik Nelson I second her! That's a really tough song and I can't sing it no matter how much I try to. But after seeing your guitar version, I've decided to give it a shot too :) Great work, keep it up! :D
Hey Spandan! In case you're wanting the EXACT chords I use for this, I just released a downloadable Chord Guide PDF and a video tutorial! :) hope it is helpful for you: bitly.com/2HEv4Ap
I'm so glad cause I realize that, thanks to the internet and TH-cam, I can find out so many artists like you. Talented people, passionate people, inspiring people. The big difference with the mainstream ones is that, when you sing a song and "tell a story", I believe in your words. You're now part of my daily life in my playlist ;) I love all the artists you're covering and your covers are beautiful.Thank you for sharing your passion. Keep it up ! Greetings from France.
Broooo I stumbled across this song again for the first time in a looooong time and had to find some covers! Love this bro! 2024 and still the best cover on any platform! 🤌🏽
The moment you start singing I start going back in time to a moment in my life when I found something so beautiful and getting my freedom back to be who I want to be not who people want me to be. Very beautiful cover Derik you made this song your own ❤️
Oh wow. Sara Bareilles is one of my favorite artists, and you definitely did this song justice! You have such a wonderful voice, and your guitar-playing skills are superb. Please do more covers of Sara's songs! :) (also, the place is lovely :) )
any video touched me as much as now. Thanks for sharing this rare talent, I am very honored to hear you sing. Congratulations on the success you truly deserve!
I am IN LOVE with your voice. You sing and seiously my heart melts... Your so pure and you sing with such passion and you are amazing!! I get chills listening to you!!
This is a beautiful song and its hard for me to picture anyone but Sara singing it, but you sir have proved to be just as amazing. This is such a lovely cover, and I'm glad you did it with a guitar instead of piano. I'm seriously inspired right now. I have the shivers, so bravo darlin.
I love your way how you make your guitar sounds and your voice matched so perfectly, and a feeling of an unique gravity..it becomes a classic song of Derik's to me.
@katieeismyname (continuing yet AGAIN) Sara Bareilles is one of the most honest songwriters of our generation right now, and I really respect her writing to the utmost degree. This is probably her most powerful song, and I am grateful that people like my rendition... I only intend to pay tribute to such an amazing songwriter, and do justice to such a beautiful song. As for the VMAs, I chose not to watch them out of apathy... Don't let that skew your vision or appreciation of music. There are...
Literally first two seconds of listening- you gave me chills. your voice is so soothing and you did a great job on this cover. Being a singer myself and having videos on TH-cam, you're such an inspiration. Thank you for putting your voice out there, you've got one of the best voices I've heard. Speechless. xo
You made me fall in love with your voice. It's hard to take a beautiful and uniquely sung song and have your version be loved more than the original, but you did it. Thank you for sharing such beautiful music with us.
Oh wow, thank you so SO much Leisha!! Such a nice compliment. I'm so happy to know you liked it. I'm gonna keep sharing more music as long as I'm here :) :) thanks for your support.
Derik, I once thought that this song was 'uncoverable' because no one could compare to Sara B's original. After hearing your version, I no longer think that. Your version is amazingly good. Thank you.
thank you so much. That means a lot. :) I know I'm WAY late to the party on your comment, but wanted to thank you and let you know that I really take this to heart. -Derik
Okay. So I couldn't get the original out of my head for several days now and thought it'll be a good idea to just binge on covers of this beautiful piece of music. I clicked on the very first suggestion. Aaaaaaaaaand now I not only sitting here in the silence and absolute awe ( a good thing) of what I just heard but I'm also like seriously choked up with tears pooling in my eyes because that was the most beautiful cover of "Gravity" that I've ever heard. Period. Hands down. Thank you so much for sharing. I might actually check out the rest of your covers because I genuinely enjoyed the quality of your voice too. Never heard of you before today however I'm excited with anticipation of hearing more of your music. Just fantastic!
you know what,im just keep smiling while im listening to your cover, today is such a special day to me,nothing i hope but some greeting from somebody i hope, no matter what we've been throught i always look back n wishing everything will be the same like the old days but infact we're not together anymore, i feel like im the worst man ever, hoping for something that doesnt even exist anymore, i really dont wanna fall into the same gravity but it always goes back to "something always brings me back to you", ty dude, u did a great job :)
You are very talented and having a beautiful voice that melted my heart. This song is one of my favorite and you've turned it to be more beautiful than ever. The video looks great and hoping to hear more and more.. the song was amazing and has become my new fav. Your voice has magic and you made me cry. God bless you!
Amaaaaannddaaaa!! Hi! I'm so late to the comment party over here, but thank you so much for your support. I just posted my exact chords for this btw, via PDF download (finally getting hip to this!) in case you want to do some Sunday night guitar time :) bitly.com/2HEv4Ap BIG HUGS -Derik
I had the privilege of watching you perform at usc two nights ago and I'm so glad I did. You're a great performer and you have a wonderful voice. Keep singing! :D
I stumbled upon your music by accident last summer and totally fell in loved with your AWESOME voice and style!! I'm always so pleased to find a new recording from you in my subscriptions...ur frckn amazing!! I hope when you become uber famous you don't change anything about your music & singing ....you are a true artist!
10 years later your cover is still very alive
very grateful for that! It's crazy, I would've done so many things differently had I known people would respond to it so positively!
it’s been 12 years now
12 years later and I’ve yet to hear a better cover. Bravo!
@@DerikNelson definitely the most peaceful version, thanks!
The tone is so texturally sound!

Could you please put it on Spotify? Thank you :)
Thank you so much.
❤❤❤❤
Not all capes wear heroes. Thank you so much
Stil until now , from the first time i lestin to ur video .. before 10 years really the best video ever.
I was 20 .
Now im 30 years old
It's 2023 and this is still the best cover of this song ever.
STILL HITS ALL THESE YEARS LATER MAN
This performance is amazing. Only Sara herself can hope to top it.
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love
And not feel your reign
Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, and I stand
So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, and I stand
So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down, eh ooh
You're on to me, on to me, and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
This will never stop being my favorite cover. I listen to it every day on Spotify.
Listening to this after 9 years...
Just beautiful. ❤️
12 years and this is my favorite cover of you
13 years later and randomly thought of this cover. Perfection! Thank you.
10 years && I’m just now hearing this && falling in love with this ❤️❤️ omg my heart
seriously the best "male" cover of this song. the other ones are ridiculous.
Thanks Christian!! Much appreciated man :)
u dont need to be rude Christian.. i'm agree about how great this cover, but i cant agree more with calling another ridiculous. sing is art.
Derik Nelson Bro! Amazing cover! You've truly blessed my ears. Just a question, are there any available tabs fpr your version online?
Couldn't agree more. Everytime I sing it I keep sounding like a chick.

This was so beautiful. Your riff on "keeping me down" in the bridge gave me goosebumps
This song is a very sweet hymn for that feeling of absence that keeps you captive after the only one love. Your performance is perfect for that. Thank you
