Episode 740: In The Seats With....Sara Bareilles and 'Come See Me In The Good Light'

Sometimes perspectives change...It's a new year and it's a new episode as we're already knee deep into Shortlists and Awards season consideration and it makes sense.  We had the pleasure of talking with Singer/Songwriter/Composer/Actor Sara Bareilles about her song 'Salt Then Sour Then Sweet' which was used in the new documentary on Apple+ 'Come See Me In The Good Light'.'Come See Me in the Good Light' is a poignant and unexpectedly funny love story about poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley facing an incurable cancer diagnosis with joy, wit and an unshakable partnership. Through laughter and unwavering love, they transform pain into purpose, and mortality into a moving celebration of resilience.I'll admit that when watching this for the first time, I actually felt a little uncomfortable watching as I was having trouble with as it made me uncomfortable watching it as it felt in conflict with my own emotions about being a care giver for a family member with terminal cancer, I felt uncomfortable viewing it all.  That is until the end credits and this song came on....Using the words of Andrea Gibson after she died, what Bareilles and Brandi Carlile do here is sum up what is a horrible emotional experience into a 3.5 minute experience that had this critic blubbering in tears.I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sara to talk about how she got involved in the project, the pressure of a job like this, working and repurposing someone else's art and the importance of storytelling leading with love.'Come See Me in the Good Light' is on Apple+ now.
