Sara & Seth MacFarlane

Okay. So I'm pretty sure that all of you know about Sara's song with Seth MacFarlane called, "Love Won't Let You Get Away." What you might not know, however, is that the song he recorded with Norah Jones is another song he performed with Sara for the TV special. It's called "Two Sleepy People" and it sounds amazing! Here are links to both performances:

I converted Two Sleepy People to an mp3 because, you can't buy the version with Sara on iTunes. He recorded the studio version with Norah Jones and although I love Norah, I (being my biased self) think that Sara did it more justice. I also chopped it a bit after converting it so that I wouldn't have to listen to the banter over and over again when I put it on repeat so I'll give you the one with Seth's banter as well as the one without the banter.

And just to go the extra mile (and also because I wanted them. hahaha.) I decided to write out the lyrics to Two Sleepy People & Love Won't Let You Get Away:


TWO SLEEPY PEOPLE

Here we are out of cigarettes

Holding hands and yawning

Look how late it gets

Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light

And too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are in the cozy chair

Picking on a wishbone

From the frigid air

Two sleepy people

With nothing to say

And too much in love to break away


Do you remember

The nights we used to linger in the hall

Father didn’t like you at all

Remember the reason why we married in the fall

To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest


Well, here we are

Just about the same

Foggy little fella

Drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light

And too much in love to say goodnight


Well, here we are

Gee, don’t we look a mess

Lipstick on my collar

And wrinkles in my dress

Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light

And too much in love to say goodnight


Here we are

Crazy in the head

Gee your eyes are gorgeous

Even when they’re red

Two sleepy people who know very well

They’re too much in love to break the spell


Do you remember the nights 

We used to cuddle in the car

Watching every last fading star

Remember the doctor said your health was under par

And you my little Snooks

Were ruining your looks


Well, here we are

Keeping up the pace

Let meets tomorrow

Slap us in the face

Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light

And too much in love to

Say goodnight


LOVE WON'T LET US GET AWAY

We quarreled and we spatted

From morning until night

We used to think it funny

But now it isn’t quite 

The laughs it was before

So if you’ll open the door

I’ll bother you no more


My little chick-a-dee, you may say that you’re through with me

You’ll have no more to do with me

You’ll all through with me and good day

But you’ll find that love won’t let you get away


I’ll find an area

More remote than Bavaria

I’ll still get the hairier in Bavaria or Bombay

And you’ll find that love won’t let you get away


It’s finis and done with

Who will you have fun with

You’re no laughs to be with

Who’ll you watch TV with

You’re no one to pine for

Who’ll you chill the wine for

This is too-da-loo, we’re through


Just leave no trace at all

Hide your heart any place at all

I won’t miss your embrace at all

Or that face at all, come what may

Darling girl, I hope this won’t upset you

But I’d like to bet you

Love won’t let you get away


Darling, you astound me

Put your arms around me

But we’re through completely

But you kiss so sweetly

Must you always flatter

Must you always chatter at times like this

Let’s kiss


Well, here we go again

Caught in love undertow again

Latching onto that glow again

Here we go again

Hip hooray

Let the cynics laugh and try to bet you

Their doubts won’t upset us

Love won’t let us get away

Love won’t let us get away

Thanks so much for doing this! I bought Love Won't Let Us Get Away, but was frustrated about not having 2 Sleepy People. This is great!

I think that this is one of  the best things Sara has ever done. For some reason, this kind of music fits her voice, the way she looks, etc.

She really needs to do something like this again. It may freak out some of her fans, but maybe there could be a Sara Bareilles version A and Sara Bareilles version B  with Sara vers. B singing some of the old American songbook "standards" :)

Totally agreed. Sara could really do several things with her voice. It has this certain uniqueness to it that will allow her to do poppy, happy, I-can/could-dance-to-this tunes but it also lets her do deep songs that we can listen to and cry to. Then she has another side that can harmonize and add more depth to other's songs. I love it all. 

Oh & then, her lyrics are a whole 'nother discussion. You have to dive in and analyze them. They have a meaning behind them and you really have to read and think about them. She's so awesome that way. So much better than all the mainstream BS these days. (:

Just for kicks, to see how versatile Sara is, I put Sara's "Gonna Get Over You" video on the left side of my monitor, and the "Love Won't Let Us Get Away" Seth McFarlane video on the right.

It's really amazing to see how well she did both styles of music and appearance. Frilly dress vs. Leather jacket.  Just awesome.....
