Starting Now by Ingrid Michaelson

[theywillbeblue]

This song was on a commercial when I was in 4th grade and found Ingrid sorta from this. But then just this past year I discovered her again, and totally forgot of this song. This is how I found one of my favorite artists <3 Just as beautiful as it was 5 years ago.

[saraviah9]

Starting Now. Tonight.

Even though tomorrow I'll probably text my heart out to you.

But even so, starting now, I'll never know your name.

[lakshp87]

Love this song and Ingrid's cover of "Somebody that I used to know", good old cure for a hangover from an ugly relationship!

[MizzZada]

Its amazing just to find song writers like her. But its even more rare to find singers that make there words come to life and really understand what there singing. I feel like Ingrid is the most bittersweet singer ever. I would love for all my friends to know about her; but at the same time, i want her to be my sweet little secret.

[MichaelGreyVlogs]

She keeps repeating "Starting Now" for a reason. It's what everyone who has experienced heartbreak does all the time. We think, "Starting now things will change. I will get over you." When in reality, we consistently break our promise and continue dwelling on it. We don't want to get over it. We don't want anything to change. And yet, once we accept the fact that change happens, that's when we can start to forget, and move on with our lives. Starting now...

[DRAMAAAAKWEEN]

starting now. 

[travvanwyck]

Whatever. 

[MissMaraDuck]

Best break up song ever. Go Ingrid!

[MySillySadie]

I think you mean the repeat button.

[ElizabethRoseR]

Her brother teaches math at my high school :D

[PopCulture20]

@ElizabethRoseR Her friend's cousin's brother's sister goes to my school.

[mimicat77]

@ElizabethRoseR no way!

[ameliajackson20]

I know her songs are so emotional it is like i should break up with me boyfriend nd see how it goes

[viveetranle]

I love how all her songs are realistic yet daydreamer music. It hurts sometimes,but we all need a slap in the face to reality

[101yanii]

this is my winterguard song.

[snwdreams]

"Starting now I'll never know your name

Starting now I'll never feel the same

Starting now I wish you never came into my world."

This song goes out to the one who came into my life and turned it all upside down...who made me question everything...who built me up and then tore me down...who made me forget the things that were once important to me...and who filled my head with lies and promises of forever. Starting now...I officially say goodbye to you.

[RobertBordenMusic]

[ttori0117]

This song is helping me heal from a broken heart a guy gave me a while ago. Thank you Ingird Michealson for this beautiful song.

[itsKAIT01]

im trying to learn this song, and i've got everything down but the chords! every tab i find sounds awful. helpppp?

[spacemonkeyzrock]

I absolutely love ingrid! She has an amazing voice and such unique songwriting. :)

[milkrocksnet]

it reminds me of Feist :)

[secretmorgey]

I'm in the process of starting over right now.

[secretmorgey]

Every song by her, I relate to completely. Every single one, ha.

[GosipGirlie]

all her songs are great to dance to

[oceanborn45]

This song, is like.. Oh my God.. like a relief to me, it makes me feel better, SERIOUSLY!! Like wanting to start fresh, from scratch, all over again...

[xtorrox3]

I could hear it and hear it again .

[arhall09]

The guitar in this song literally brought a tear to my eye. Everytime I hear this song I can't get past that to hear the words lol

[Beatleslover92]

Reminds me of cancer.

[SnowCatKroe]

This is one of my favorites by her! I love it! :D

[ravenfire1313]

We might be using this for our Lyrical Jazz dance recital piece, yay :)

[Mollaaan93]

so true song, i'm crying! ;(

[breathingworld]

i love this one!

[thehi9hness]

2:10 solid drumming maybe cause i didnt expect it

[sill313]

elliot jacobson rocks. (that's her drummer)

[subsonic44]

Just saw this on artists den and they had the best live sound ever, great song, great performance.

[kateeie01]

Does anyone know the chords at the chours im going crazy trying to figure it out!

[ptc121212]

D A Bm G at least that sounds right to me hope it helps

[travis7310]

I sang this at school once, and people thought it was a creepy song. They said the lyrics are stupid and gross. Id' like to hear some of their lyrics someday. Ingrid, FTW!

[Spyderschwinky]

gosh they have no idea XD why do people always take everything so literally?

[depolarized]

I wouldn't even thought of it like that until you pointed out someone actually did.

Don't they interpret poetry in school anymore?

[travis7310]

They didn't at my school. Well, sometimes, but not much. But, I was just randomly singing this in class one day and someone said it was gross.

[depolarized]

We did formal poetry and song lyrics interpretation in English, we got to choose a lot of the poems and songs too :)

[musica1klari]

Wait, I don't get it. How is it gross?

[travis7310]

I don't know. Those people are just stupid!

[Meyellows]

@travis7310 They probably just say that becaues they can't handle the fact that babies come out of wombs.

[Eckoo0oo0]

when i heard this song it made me want to cry a little, but it also made me smile.

this song is so truthfull and lovely.

what a great way to say 'im starting over'

[MagTrag89]

I felt the exact same way!

[sill313]

That's acftually what it's about but in a different way than you probably think. She said that she wrote it when she was starting a new relationship but was still so affected by the old one and just wanted to forget and move on. But then she said later on the lyrics fit her even better after a really bad breakup..funny how things work out, huh.

[thedigitalcollective]

sweet tune.i like all the songs.nice! looking foward to years of good music.

[ashley2091]

this song is perfect for letting go of anything and everything. she's absolutely brilliant.

[littletoe16]

best song ever. really. the lyrics are so perfect. not just for break ups, but also if you made some mistake, and don't want to think about it. There are lots of times that i just want to "crawl back into my mother's womb"

[babydontblush]

I thank you ingrid, for creating a song to capture every possible emotion of a breakup and combine it into this song.

[meggstermomo]

This song reminds us that life goes on, even if it hurts. Ingrid Michaelson is the only one that can capture truth so well.

[theyleftusallbehind]

Well said. (:

[IdRatherBinADream92]

@meggstermomo I'm sure there's others...haha,just probably the only one you know of:)

[lyssahead]

i love ingrid.

[WH0AHxELIZABETHH]

my life's theme song at the moment<3.

[WannaBeCountryStar]

This is a great song - way to go Ingrid : p

[Shteffii]

Is it just me, or does the sound quality sound really good? When I listen to it on my iPod it sounds really good. I love this song, I agree, its the ultimate break-up song. Does Ingrid write all her own songs?

[goleandra]

this is my ANTHEM right now

[davebo27]

best ingrid song imho

[cherryqueen7292]

love this song...! i can relate 2 it.

[rosepetals1002]

this is the ultimate break up song.

[goodekr]

ooo i completely 100% agree. I freakin love it. It makes me feel so much better and like getting over that person won't be as hard as I think. Love Ingrid

[oceanborn45]

@goodekr Ah! Totally understand you... This song makes it easier. lol
