Manhattan: Gravity has returned in the form of Manhattan (with some jazzy trumpets of course).
"There's a war inside my heart gone silent / with both sides dissatisfied and someone violent / the problem that I have begun to see / is that I am the only lonely causality." It's a huge lyrical standout, she tells the story of a warrior like an ancient story teller, which makes it a deeply romantic listen. It's a heavy recall of 2012's Lie To Me, with Cello's at the forefront, and heavy jazz influences. Hercules: Bye bye major keys and hello dissonance. Overall it's a gorgeous up tempo track, instant stand-out.
The instrumentation paints the image of a sunset surprisingly well, considering the lyrics don't really discuss it. Chasing The Sun: It's now become clear that living in New York has clearly influenced Bareilles (with the New York artwork, track titled Manhattan), as she sings about a cemetery in the center of Queens, Skyscrapers, and "Manhattan behind her." She also shows off her newly found pipes in the chorus, much like in Brave.
