Try as we might, we can't really hide our love for Sara Bareilles. Her songs are catchy and sweet and they make us feel all sorts of feelings. Indeed, "feelings" are the name of the game when it comes to Bareilles, whose 2013 single "Brave" gave us a million more reasons to shout her praises. The 35-year-old singer's track, which cheerily proclaims that "you can be amazing" before digging deeper with "let your words be anything but empty," asks listeners to consider simply being brave and saying what's on their hearts and minds.
Since its release, we've seen scores of inspirational videos pop up from Bareilles fans around the world who've used her lyrics as an impetus for change, courage, or confidence. And in preparation for her appearance Wednesday on TODAY, we've compiled a few of our favorites below.
