The Ballad of Sara Berry RSO

[SingingJesusFreak]

I would say that this is my favorite RSO song but that would imply that I dislike another which is just wrong

[ValerieOnBroadway]

I never heard this song before, until last night, when I heard Krysta Rodriuez sing it at a concert at my school, and now I think I am in LOVE with this song!

[jackbeedle12]

"No description available" - this is SO true.

[ilyedward29]

This song needs to be on itunes. Ryan Scott Oliver...you're a genius. Where can i download your music?

[RyanScottOliver]

@RyanScottOliver Thank you so much! I've been going crazy looking for some sort of recording!

[kiteteraton]

@RyanScottOliver Omigosh, I've been looking for proper recording forever!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[swimstar66]

This is song is so amazing but I really would love to know who the singer's supposed to be...you know, like if she was a high school student or someone else...just a thought

[RyanScottOliver]

@swimstar66 Hey there swimstar66. In 35mm, Lindsay mendez (the lead singer) is called the "Balladeer" for this song. I sort of wrote the song to be a kind of ... well, "Ballad of Sara Berry," like a gothic ghost story of some kind. Hope that helps!

[swimstar66]

@RyanScottOliver Thanks! That did help! And once again, fabulous song :)

[Maestrojosh87]

@RyanScottOliver It was like a teenage tragedy song, but everybody else dies...

[sexylady666]

this song is just amazing!! :D i love it!! totally singing it at some point. <3

[AmeeReneeM]

My goal is to be able to sing this song perfecty before March next year. Wish me luck. Ahh!

[boq757]

Could someone post the lyrics that she is singing at the end? From like 4:10 on? Thanks!

[RyanScottOliver]

@boq757 Hey there! Check out my blog and check out the "IN CASE YOU MISSED IT" story from April 27, it has the complete lyrics.

[boq757]

@RyanScottOliver Thanks! That helped so so much!

[boq757]

@RyanScottOliver thanks so much! that helped a lot!! great song!

[AmeeReneeM]

@boq757 The queen of highscool llaaaaaaand. Into a tight straight jacket small padded cell screaming "I'm the queen of highschool land." At least in your head your queen of highschool land. Oh pity the dead your queen of high school land. Check Sarah, choose Sarah, vote for sarah Berry.

[Throppland]

Thank god for a HQ version of this performance. FUCKING FIERCE.

[Throppland]

@Throppland OH. And the harmonies with Natalie are like <3

[boq757]

what is this song about? i think i got it. is it about sara, a rich girl, that needs to win prom queen so much that she kills those that stand in her way? and then she wins?

[tggold]

@boq757 More like ends up in a straight-jacket. The one legged girl called the cops.

[lawlzerskates]

@boq757 She doesn't actually win. She takes the crown and sash, but gets sent off to the insane asylum.

[TheLife16]

This is definitely the best version on youtube of this song. Whoever directed this is ingenious.

[Tsopanders]

I have watched this video 7times in a row I LOVE IT!

[tggold]

So awesome. I think I may be in love with Alex Brightman, haha. Glad we can see him in this footage, he was hiding in the other one!

[jmanion29]

Holy shit. That was fucking fierce!

[CandidCandide]

FIERCE.  All I can say.

[numba1kiki]

agreed. 4:10 on is fucking awesome!

[sibilaiton]

This performance is fantastic, and I think the bulge really adds that extra something special to the overall presentation. :)

[sharpiesmudge]

I love everything about this, but DUDE, 4:10 is just crazy. Especially Jay. The audio is clearer in the earlier version of this, but it's so much more fun to watch now that they have the music memorized.

[AmeeReneeM]

Omg this is the best.
