A song entitled "Brave" was a song of Sara Bareilles. The lyrics of the song highlighted the
importance of speaking up the truth. This entailed a universal message as base to what Sara
said on Meredith Vieira Show. A dear friend of her who was struggling to come out as an adult
and she was also collaborating with Jack Antonoff at the time who was working tirelessly to
launch his social justice organkzation called the Allied Coalition which is about straight voices
"You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug."
The way she used words related to violence but twisted it to be positive as it is linked with truth
grabbed the attention of listeners for that part; a weapon to use to speak up and a drug to cure
injustices.
"Say what you want to say and let the words fall out. Honestly, I wanna see you be brave."
A part of the chorus contained a strong impact to one's perspective. It is more like it she
encourages people not to hide what their mind and heart wants to express. Freedom of
expression was being emphasized. It has an upbeat rhythm that collaborated well to the lyrics
"Innocence, your history of silence won't do you any good, did you think it would. Let your
words be anything but empty why don't you tell them the truth."
This part involved strong encouragement to spill kind words and conceal the truth.
As to its lyrics, there's no way it is wrong if we are going to criticize it using the perspective of
poetry. A composer was free to express his own work with the manner of his wordings.
"Brave" executed a remarkable impact to the society since the day it was released until today.
The compassion of Sara to make song with inspirational messages was shared through her own
kind of art.
