Sara Bareilles - Before I Ever Knew Better

[TheUnpredictable88]

Am I the only guy who love Sara and all her songs

[Storm5689]

love this song. love her. so talented, such a good songwriter

[Kgcassidi1]

hey this is an awesome song rite ;)



[shawem1]

don't think its clapping- probably a result of holding a mic up to a speaker.

[23killcent]

nc song

[ellz334]

if i had to chose which is mega difficult i think id say this is her best song except for the clapping tragic :P

[gaCLa23]

Is this song available in iTunes? It's not incluided in Careful Confessions :(

[leeedwards369]

did anyone else think something was wrong when they herd that so called clapping sound

[ElevenThirteenNine]

@leeedwards369 Yeah. I was about to put it on my iPod and then heard the clapping nose and freaked out lol

[musicismyname7]

Why is everyone saying these songs (i.e. this and Bittersweet) are from her Careful Confessions? They are from random places (unknown source for me), and then from The Summer Sessions.... lol... stop confusing! :)

[Violet961996]

fucking beautiful <3

[RainaDeathstar]

Like the song but vid quality kinda sucked

[timeywhimey65]

I really love this song and went to iTunes to buy it but it wasn't listed as on Careful Confessions. Does anyone know where this song can be bought from?

[choclatbrowni627]

personally, i love this old sara and her songs, and the new songs too. she still has her wonderful voice and talent, and that's what counts. i feel like her lyrics are so meaningful and catchy....love sara (cause no one has the kind of talent she does)

[loki153624]

Pretty sure the noise could be related to slappin' the guitar body.

+1 for studio recording this song, it's beautiful

[MsRohan20]

i luv cristiana......... :X

[rownicole]

nice song!!i really like it...

[maikuemusic]

I wish she would studio record this song.

[609dancergirl]

i know eh? like whats that noise?

[str2wb3rry]

gonna go out on a limb here and say that i do not think this is Sara Bareilles. It sounds a lot like her though. The clapping (recording quality) and the subtle voice difference got my ears convincing my skeptic mind. anyone know who it might be?

[MilkBoyofAH]

@str2wb3rry It is her, it's just an older recording before she really got well known a lot

[diredesire]

@str2wb3rry It's definitely her... can't you hear the ballsiness in her voice? Girl's got soul. That clapping sound is killing me, though. Sounds like someone is clapping directly on a mic.

[legendarywhiterabbit]

This song is nice to listen to except for the god awful clapping. Its so freaking loud...

[spoks007]

nothing but love for this song. thanks for uploading! all of her albums are great in different ways.

[Lai829]

damn every song just fits! love her!

[femmeth]

wow. she's damn good.

[Star9390]

Sara is perfection.

[Elenie73]

I love this song. <3

[MMriw]

Great song!

[MsJaniceAnn]

I love this song. Love the lyrics, her voice and it turned out pretty darn awesome for a live recording. Great song!

[reshloveschoir]

what's with the god awful clapping sound.

[gegx313]

hahahah! i know!

[chanandler20]

It's called doing a live recording....

[hollistianne]

god, i thought my crappy speakers were screwing up!

[kuipoc]

@reshloveschoir i guess they got excited, haha.

[kooldragon95]

@reshloveschoir i think it's ear-sex. it's why all of our ears are soundgasming right now.

[SOBERish21]

that's just how it goes sometimes,.. before you ever knew better...

[jpcoolio01]

i love austin hamilton but he is gone.....

[orkilatrish]

Can't even buy careful confessions anymore unless you get it for a small fortune of someone on Amazon marketplace!

[MadyAnne99]

love this song!

but i hate how there is almost clapping in the background...

[75surfgirl]

great song --My favorite

[clroxy]

are there any other recordings of this? it's easily my favourite sara song!

[theatrerose]

well this fits my life a little too well right now...

[RosalieNijsen]

I'm sorry for ya.. (I feel you as well ;))

[funfunfun81]

Love it! This is her best song ever!!!

[Let0Love0Drift]

amazing song :o!!!

[AvalonNine]

Only thing wrong with it is the innecessant thumping and clicking from the bass... probably because it was a live recording.

[Chubbzz1052]

i think the ONLY way the songs from careful confessions is 2 buy the cd online IT SUCK!!!!!

[mizzacesproductions]

i have the careful confessions cd nd i love it :D!! what sux is tht it doesnt have THIS song on it :(

[august00007]

omg..i love this song..i luv it, i luv it!!!!

i'm so lucky i found this one..haha...thankies

[mackenzie87]

This is my favorite Sara Bareilles song!

[paullyPIAA]

oh my gosh....all of these are AMAZING.

I just saw her concert here in NYC at Joe's Pub and recorded the whole thing..thank GOD

Is there a way I can get a copy of this song? or all of these more unknown ones?

Karma is a good thing! I would love it if someone e-mailed these to me!

=)

Cheers!

[christinaciavarella]

favorite sara bareilles song ever, by far.

[burdman1616]

I agree completely...enough of that thumping!!

[chanandler20]

It's just a live recording that she did. Most of her demos were live recordings.

[tmwddp6]

Inkslinger-

Many of the songs you feature by Sara Bareilles I have not heard and I am a huge fan of hers. Where did you find the music?....

Thanks

[chanandler20]

These are her old recordings that she did wayyy before "Little Voice"

[Cachora23]

many songs are in ares!

Find them!

it´s so hard and difficult but the songs are amaizing

[theinkslinger]

@tmwddp6 I actually downloaded them from limewire years ago, I figured I'd share the love since they're so rare :)

[yellowdaisy44]

God, I love this song. Sara B has such a way with words. I hope this (and all the lost songs on careful confessions) will be available some time soon. In the meantime, thanks for posting this. Sara B rocks!

[icen01cloud]

this is like my favourite song.. my ringtone, my night sound, the first song i always hear in a day.

[ecarganonymous]

i love this song too, but what version do you use? i've only seen this song on imeem and here. both horrible versions.

[blazeandsilver101]

I wish i had this CD

[chanandler20]

it's not on a cd

[supertexter08]

debut album..where have a been :[

[1995natalie1995]

her voice so exciting

[anjoylique]

i can hear a clicking noise. is it supposed to be there?

[BlairBurnette]

i don't think so...I think it's a distortion of the drums or something, something with the file

[clroxy]

this is one of my all-time favourite songs :)

[landar386]

very beautiful

[livehideki015]

BEST SONG EVER.

[samxsamxsami]

beautifull..i wish i could sing like that :(..i really do :(

[spannaaaaaa]

you cant help but love her just coz she says thanks to her drummer and guitarist when shes done singing!!

[flames517]

i love how her voice is so constant, but flexible.. if that makes sense... hmmm... thanks for posting it!

[flames517]

i luv this song

its brilliant, but the bass is a hell of a lot louder than the treble, jus a bit trippy, but yeah...

[carmencat6]

you can buy the album careful confessions off her website.

[nksnoopy]

looking for the careful confessions cd cause i neeed the songs on it they're awsome!! =)

[SaraBareilles1]

It is from Careful Confessions,it's a hidden track!

[XshattereddreeamsX]

is this a new song? :D

[theinkslinger]

no, it's from her first album, Careful Confessions.

[amc623]

it's actually not listed as part of the careful confessions album...unless its a hidden track?? idk i don't own the cd itself. i've been having trouble finding a good version of this song too, the audio is weird on this one. Idk where this song came from.

It's an awesome song though, one of my favorites :-)

[ashsnow101]

@theinkslinger i was looking to buy that album but i couldn't find one with this song on it, does it go by a different name or is it on a special album?

[Ornus]

@ashsnow101 Yeah, Im pretty sure it isnt on Careful Confessions.

[FamilyofSupernatural]

@theinkslinger It wasn't on Careful Confessions. It was probably on The First One or Summer Sessions.

[jasMINERSxo]

actually, before she had careful confessions and little voice, she had 2 live albums. i dont know if they're self made (probably were), but she had a whole bunch of other songs before careful confessions and little voice. :]

im a big fan. love this song.

-jj

[JoFaleiro]

thanks.
