A few months ago while watching SYTYCD a piece was performed that left quite an impression on me. It was a piece about addiction. As I've thought about this song and dance I've come to realize that addiction/adversity is something we all fight on a daily basis. While most of us will hopefully never battle the big things like drugs or pornography there are plenty of other things that inevitably manage to drape their ugly chains around us. Negative thoughts, feelings of not being enough, inadequacy, self doubt, depression to name a few. Satan knows where we are weakest. As I watch this piece and see how truly haunting the nature of the vice is I can't help but think that she overcame in the end. That she found the strength to walk away.
I've embedded the original video in case you'd like to hear the entire track sang by Ms. Bareilles herself. The song moves me every time.

this song gets a ton of playtime on my favorite Pandora station. it's one of the ones i like best, too. and that was an interesting dance interpretation on the piece. i liked it.
You have no idea how much I loved that dance. I would have to say it was my favorite of the entire season. There wasn't one lull in the choreography. Every move was deliberate and flawless. Kayla and Kupono were amazing. They were perfect. It was so moving. I love when dance rips your heart out! Great minds think alike, girl!
I just watched the music video. That is sooooo awesome. I have never seen that before. So creative. I loved it.
