Description

Sara Bareilles’ song “Salt Then Sour Then Sweet”—written in collaboration with Andrea Gibson and Brandi Carlile for the documentary "Come See Me in the Good Light" directed by Ryan White —is a tender, emotionally charged meditation on healing and self-acceptance. The track carries Bareilles’ signature warmth and lyrical clarity, layered with Gibson’s poetic sensitivity and Carlile’s soulful, roots-driven intuition.The song moves like a journey through the textures of being human: the salt of old wounds, the sour of self-doubt and difficult truth, and ultimately the sweet arrival at compassion, resilience, and renewed connection. Its lyrics feel both intimate and universal, echoing the documentary’s themes of looking at oneself—really seeing oneself—in a softer, more generous light.“Salt Then Sour Then Sweet” stands as an anthem for anyone navigating their own evolution: a reminder that transformation is rarely linear, often messy, and always worth stepping into with courage. It’s a piece of music that honors vulnerability and celebrates the moments in life when clarity breaks through, turning pain into something beautifully human.Now Streaming on Apple TV:https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/come-see-me-in-the-good-light/umc.cmc.27uh51l7oh3ghql2gxb6xvb1sSUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE:http://bit.ly/SubscribeSoundWorksCollectionAUDIO PODCAST:https://linktr.ee/soundworkscollectionINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/soundworkscollection/TIKTOK:https://www.tiktok.com/@soundworkscollectionVIDEOS AND INDUSTRY NEWS:https://www.SoundWorksCollection.com
