“I think it was the perfect gestation time for this particular piece [ Sounds Like Me: My Life (So Far) in Song]. One of the songs that I considered talking about was "Manhattan," because it was chronicling the end of a long relationship that was part of the reason why I moved from Los Angeles to New York, which was such a life-changing decision. I don't regret that it's not in there, but that's one that I considered diving into, and I have little piecemeal snippets of writing about that floating around” ThinkingWritingLittlesLongEndsReasonSongSoundDecisionPerfectTalkingPiecesNew YorkParticularRegretMovedLike MeReason WhyLife ChangingLos AngelesFloatingManhattanDivingDon't RegretLong RelationshipGestation Author:Sara Bareilles
“It may sound strange, but many champions are made champions by setback. They are champions because they've been hurt. Their experience moved them, and they pulled out this fighting spirit, making them what they are. Sometimes in life, God gives us a difficulty in order to bring out the fighting spirit. Everything that happens to you can happen for good if you have this spirit. The essential thing in life is not in the conquering, but in the fight.” IfsGivingMayMadeSometimesHappensLife IsSpiritOrderFightingSportsSoundLeadershipHurtStrangeEssentialsDifficultyMovedConquerChampionThings In LifeFighting SpiritSetbackSometimes In LifeBeen HurtChampions Are Made Author:Bob Richards
