🥲 I cried at this

The opening track of Good Grief, written after hearing Stephen Colbert talk about losing his father and brothers. It starts quiet and close, measures a life against a father's, then breaks wide open before landing somewhere that feels like being held.

Reviewers singled out the opener of Good Grief as the album's thesis: intimate at the start, then cracking open into some of the most powerful singing of Bareilles' career.
