OH MY GOD...
JUST LISTENED TO IT...
I M SO AMAZED.. i wouldnt believe it's Sarah though haha , it is so different...! What do you think?

[jessiemonkey]

OMGGGGG!!! i love it!!!!!

it sounds amazing!!

[Jessel]

Thank you very much for sharing Sweetfear!

I like the arrangement in the album version better. I hated the live version but the song has grown on me after a while lol. I think I'm gonna like the upbeat Sarah (and I'm probably right about my prediction of an upbeat album). WTG Sarah!

[Miguel]

I don't know what to say yet, but this is definitely something new and different for Sarah and I'm willing to accept that. I have to admit, my jaw dropped when I saw the announcement on Facebook.

It'll grow on me, but I like it. Sounds like Sara Bareilles' "Love Song".

Now I'm praying One Dream is on this album (gotta have it on CD! )

@ Jessel: do you have the lyrics that were posted on the old board? I'd like to see if any words were changed or if they stayed intact

ETA: I also found the cover for the single online. It looks like it's a screencap from the uploaded video but looks good nonetheless

[Jujube]

Thanks for the cap of the cover Miguel! I love this photo...great dress and whimsical.

I think this song grows on me over time... When I first heard the live version that was around a while back, I wasn't a big fan of it, but I'm liking this version better. I am so starved for new music from Sarah that I can say this did bring a smile to my face just because we're that much closer to a new album coming out.

[Mallory]

I don't know how I missed the news about this until now, but, yay for new music! I think the song will have to grow on me a bit, but upon first listen I'm enjoying it. I really like the artwork, too.

[Miguel]

Looks like the art for the single was not screencapped, it's the actual cover! haha
The pic was made to look aged according to this site

^^ Here's the (tentative) lyrics I came up with earlier this morning. I can't find my previous version hehe:

Loving you is easy
Loving you is wondrous and pure
I shout it from the rooftops
How long must I wait 'til I see you smile?

Light up in the moonlight
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes
So eager that I know I should go slow
But it's not in me to wait
'Cause I'm alive

And I'm on fire
Shot like a starburst into the sky
Oh, the fury of desire
You burn so bright and electrify
You light me up, you take me higher

I've been down a long road
And I become a stranger to myself
Digging in my heels and hoping time
Might be kinder if I wait it out

Nothing came from wanting
And I became so small and insecure
I didn't know the cause but all I lost
Did (?) I find fresh and new (again with you)

And I'm on fire
Shot like a starburst into the sky
Oh, the fury of desire
You burn so bright and electrify
You light me up, you take me higher

Loving you is easy
Loving you is wondrous and pure
I shout it from the rooftops
How long must I wait 'til I see you smile?

Nothing has changed. I listened to the live version again and they're the same as far as I can tell.

I LOVE IT!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

I like the live version of "Loving You Is Easy" that we heard last year, but I think the studio version is amazing!
The piano playing is different, very strong! The few seconds of the beginning make me think about Drawn To The Rhythm (on Rarities). Men are doing the background vocals and the last time it happens, it was on Solace (for the song "Lost"... correct me if I'm wrong).

It'll be a fabulous and refreshing album! We'll surely find sad songs, but for a first single, it's great! Ok, I'm too excited about this!!
The cover for the single is beautiful and I'm happy they choose this song. Radio stations will play it for the summer, it's a good timing, for the album and for the release of this single.


Edit: I hear "How long must I wait 'til I see your smile"

Just heard the song myself and yes, I like it. It is different as it has been so long since she put out new material. Now I can't wait for the rest. Everything is just falling into place slowly for her.
