Sara Bareilles on Love, Loss, Empathy, and New Album & Documentary ‘Good Grief’

The legend that is Sara Bareilles joins us to talk about ‘Good Grief,’ her first album in seven years, and the new documentary of the same name. She opens up about navigating some incredibly difficult years, and the tenderness, humor and humility she’s found along the way. During that time, she’s said goodbye to several close friends while also embarking on IVF, and she’s open in her music — and in person — about the complicated emotions that can accompany the path to parenthood. The documentary captures the intimate recording of the album in Woodstock, NY, with her close collaborators, alongside incredibly candid conversations exploring many of the same themes. She also discusses the story behind the song “Home,” which was inspired by a podcast conversation between Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert about Colbert losing his father and two brothers when he was just 10 years old.Sara also looks back at the songs and projects that have shaped her career, from “Gravity” and “Brave” to “Love Song”; the origins of ‘Waitress’ and what writing musical theater taught her about collaboration; and her connection to poet and activist Andrea Gibson, both in song and through the documentary ‘Come See Me in the Good Light.’ Kelsey pops in to go deep on Sara’s hilarious Netflix show ‘Girls5eva,’ and Sara leaves us with some real food for thought: the idea at the heart of ‘Good Grief’ is that the life you have isn’t somewhere else waiting for you — you have to wake up to the one you’re already living.Stream "Good Grief" ►►https://tinyurl.com/mwvc2tdzSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
