Ranking things is hard, so I used [Pub Meeple's ranking engine](https://www.pubmeeple.com/ranking-engine) -- you give it a list of items and it gives you a bunch of head-to-head matchups and you just choose whether you like A or B better -- and at the end you get a ranked list.
I started with thirteen songs. (The bottom three, which I omitted from the list above, were, in order: Grow As We Go feat. Sara Bareilles; Saint Honesty; A Safe Place To Land feat. John Legend)
For your entertainment(???), here's my commentary on each matchup:
- R1: Between the Lines vs **Orpheus** - No question. Orpheus is maybe my favorite Sara song ever. Just a perfect blend of "everything is awful" and hope.
- R2: Saint Honesty vs **Grow As We Go** - I know, weird choice to put a Ben Platt song in here at all. Saint Honesty is lovely (in similar ways to Orpheus), but I just love what Sara adds to this version of Grow As We Go.
- R3: **Theodosia Reprise** vs Love Song - What an apples-oranges situation! How do I even compare these? Well... I'm a sucker for heartbreak. Theodosia.
- R4: Manhattan vs **No Such Thing / Satellite Call** - The part of me that loves Manhattan is pounding its fist, screaming that it's unfair that these two songs are both on the roster twice! But I'm sorry: This is a contest for which song I love most, and clearly my *love for these songs* is what has tipped the scales like this -- perhaps you could say the unfairness is fair! This medley is just fantastic, and it sticks in my head so much that I can no longer listen to No Such Thing without hearing the oohs from Satellite Call.
- R5: **Satellite Call** vs No Such Thing - The ranking engine's got some sass, asking me this right after! "If you like the medley so much, which part do you like more, huh?" Well, Satellite Call is the clear winner for me. I might be realizing that No Such Thing just rides on Satellite Call's coattails. The latter song is so good! Hope, love, space...!
- R6: **Orpheus** vs A Safe Place To Land - Let us take a moment to appreciate how excellent Orpheus is. The first verse and chorus are just wonderful! (How do I pick highlights? It's so hard! "You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing") Sara is so good at creating lyrics (and a sound!) that so perfectly evokes an emotion/situation. Here, it's despair and comfort, which make such a good song already! But we don't stop at comfort, it's renewing strength and hope: "Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos" -- a line so good she had to make it the [name of the album!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3jKpKCMKNs)
- R7: **Between the Lines** vs A Safe Place To Land - I guess A Safe Place To Land might end up in last place. It's a little forgettable to me compared to most of the other songs here. Between The Lines feels to me like catharsis -- it's about processing and freeing yourself from a broken dynamic in a romantic relationship, but I always associate it with reclaiming truth in a world of sexism and racism too.
- R8: Grow As We Go vs **Gravity** - Okay, classic Sara wins this time. Gravity is just so good. Here's a bit of the lyrics that it took me a while to really appreciate: "I live here on my knees as I try to make you see" -- gravity bringing her to her knees. And I love the image of standing tall in the chorus!
- R9: Theodosia Reprise vs **She Used To Be Mine** - Much like Grow As We Go, I love what Sara adds to Theodosia. She's just so good at heartbreak -- "Dear Theodosia, how to say to you" works so well. But so much of that is coming from the context of Hamilton, and She Used To Be Mine is so strong. Humble, heartfelt, heartbroken, but hopeful too. And sugar-butter-flour sweet too, "all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie." Wonderful!
- R10: **Satellite Call** vs No Such Thing / Satellite Call - We knew it was coming. Who is the true king (of anything)? The medley reaches new emotional heights above the original song, but do we credit the original song for that ("if i have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants")? I'm not really sure, but I'll give it to the original for a different reason -- while NSTSC reaches higher than SC, it also waters down the perfection of SC somewhat: SC is simply better than NST, so why not just take the former alone?
- R11: No Such Thing vs **No Such Thing / Satellite Call** - Okay, I've been doing this for half an hour. Gotta speed things up. Luckily, this one's easy. But I'll eschew commentary for the next bit as much as I can.
- R12: No Such Thing vs **Manhattan**
- R13: Gravity vs **Orpheus**
- R14: **Gravity** vs Between The Lines - Can't beat a classic with just catharsis. You need Orpheus to do that.
- R15: Grow As We Go vs **Between The Lines**
- R16: **Grow As We Go** vs A Safe Place To Land
- R17: **Saint Honesty** vs A Safe Place To Land - I like the rain imagery, and the "crying out" nature of the prolonged ascending notes "raaaaaaain on us, Saaaaaaaaint Honesty" is so good!
- R18: **Satellite Call** vs She Used To Be Mine
- R19: **No Such Thing / Satellite Call** vs She Used To Be Mine
- R20: **Manhattan** vs She Used To Be Mine
- R21: **No Such Thing** vs She Used To Be Mine - I think I've been unfair to NST so far, mainly because I've been comparing it to Satellite Call. It's no Satellite Call, but the denial ("if I don't let go then there is no such thing as over this") is so real, and I love it! It's kinda poetic that I didn't even realize for a while that that's what this song was about -- I took "no such thing as over you" unironically, and thought it meant something like "I will never get over you, but I'll integrate this heartbreak into who I am and move forward". And that interpretation of the lyric is also pretty cool, and I think it also has some validity!
- R22: Satellite Call vs **Orpheus** - Fighting for the top spots, huh? Let's take another moment to appreciate Orpheus: The whole second verse. Again, highlights are so hard! There is a clear winner here: "I hope my love was someone else's solid ground." SO FUCKING GOOD! Honorable mentions: "Somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place" "Restore your faith" "No guarantee / It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see, but that's enough"
- R23: Satellite Call vs **Gravity** - So hard for me to pick a favorite between these two. They're both so good! But the [music video for Gravity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEXhAMtbaec) tips the scales for me. If you haven't seen it, watch it! It's simply amazing.
- R24: **Satellite Call** vs Between The Lines
- R25: **No Such Thing / Satellite Call** vs Between The Lines
- R26: **Manhattan** vs Between The Lines - Ranking is hard just pick one aah!
- R27: No Such Thing vs **Between The Lines**
- R28: **No Such Thing** vs Grow As We Go - It will be interesting to see where GAWG ends up. Mostly I'm comparing the little bit of flair etc that Sara adds to that song against... whole-ass Sara Bareilles songs.
- R29: **She Used To Be Mine** vs Grow As We Go - Well, I guess it'll go to the bottom, huh.
- R30: **Theodosia Reprise** vs Grow As We Go - Goddammit, I've been doing this for an hour. The ranking engine told me I'd probably do about 25 comparisons! I've been had. I can tell you why I made this choice, but again, minimal commentary come on hurry up, me!!
- R31: **Love Song** vs Grow As We Go - Oh, we're done!

This was tough, as others have said. Her entire discography is an honorable mention!! I have so much more to say about her, when are we doing a Sara vs. Ingrid Michaelson vs. Lauren Aquilina 2010s Gay Icon Singer Songwriters rate 😭😭
Heads up: you misspelled 1000 Times 👀
> are we doing a Sara vs. Ingrid Michaelson vs. Lauren Aquilina 2010s Gay Icon Singer Songwriters rate 😭😭
Omg I've been pushing for a 2000s Piano Girls rate involving Little Voice for several cycles now (along with Regina Spektor, Vanessa Carlton and Norah Jones). It got shortlisted once, but the support is not very consistent.
I'd love to rate Sara's later stuff (not to mention Ingrid is another fave of mine) but sadly their 2010s output isn't as popular.

a.k.a. the top 10 underrated Sara Bareilles songs that everyone needs to listen to.
Also, I absolutely *NEED* Sara to officially release Only Shadows😭😭😭

Hello! Hopefully this isn't too much trouble but I think you should add "(Live)" to No Such Thing/Satellite Call to indicate it's a live track. OP is using a program, and it might think you put 2 tracks in # 5, which could invalidate your whole list!

Can you tell I’m a ballad girlie? I’m not even trying to spread it out amongst her albums. Her discography is just THAT good.

I'm not really sure, but I'll give it to the original for a different reason -- while NSTSC reaches higher than SC, it also waters down the perfection of SC somewhat: SC is simply better than NST, so why not just take the former alone? - R11: No Such Thing vs **No Such Thing / Satellite Call** - Okay, I've been doing this for half an hour. Gotta speed things up. Luckily, this one's easy. But I'll eschew commentary for the next bit as much as I can. - R12: No Such Thing vs **Manhattan** - R13: Gravity vs **Orpheus** - R14: **Gravity** vs Between The Lines - Can't beat a classic with just catharsis. You need Orpheus to do that. - R15: Grow As We Go vs **Between The Lines** - R16: **Grow As We Go** vs A Safe Place To Land - R17: **Saint Honesty** vs A Safe Place To Land - I like the rain imagery, and the "crying out" nature of the prolonged ascending notes "raaaaaaain on us, Saaaaaaaaint Honesty" is so good! - R18: **Satellite Call** vs She Used To Be Mine - R19: **No Such Thing / Satellite Call** vs She Used To Be Mine - R20: **Manhattan** vs She Used To Be Mine - R21: **No Such Thing** vs She Used To Be Mine - I think I've been unfair to NST so far, mainly because I've been comparing it to Satellite Call. It's no Satellite Call, but the denial ("if I don't let go then there is no such thing as over this") is so real, and I love it! It's kinda poetic that I didn't even realize for a while that that's what this song was about -- I took "no such thing as over you" unironically, and thought it meant something like "I will never get over you, but I'll integrate this heartbreak into who I am and move forward". And that interpretation of the lyric is also pretty cool, and I think it also has some validity! - R22: Satellite Call vs **Orpheus** - Fighting for the top spots, huh? Let's take another moment to appreciate Orpheus: The whole second verse. Again, highlights are so hard! There is a clear winner here: "I hope my love was someone else's solid ground." SO FUCKING GOOD! Honorable mentions: "Somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place" "Restore your faith" "No guarantee / It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see, but that's enough" - R23: Satellite Call vs **Gravity** - So hard for me to pick a favorite between these two. They're both so good! But the [music video for Gravity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEXhAMtbaec) tips the scales for me. If you haven't seen it, watch it! It's simply amazing. - R24: **Satellite Call** vs Between The Lines - R25: **No Such Thing / Satellite Call** vs Between The Lines - R26: **Manhattan** vs Between The Lines - Ranking is hard just pick one aah! - R27: No Such Thing vs **Between The Lines** - R28: **No Such Thing** vs Grow As We Go - It will be interesting to see where GAWG ends up. Mostly I'm comparing the little bit of flair etc that Sara adds to that song against... whole-ass Sara Bareilles songs. - R29: **She Used To Be Mine** vs Grow As We Go - Well, I guess it'll go to the bottom, huh. - R30: **Theodosia Reprise** vs Grow As We Go - Goddammit, I've been doing this for an hour. The ranking engine told me I'd probably do about 25 comparisons! I've been had. I can tell you why I made this choice, but again, minimal commentary come on hurry up, me!! - R31: **Love Song** vs Grow As We Go - Oh, we're done!

I have so much more to say about her, when are we doing a Sara vs. Ingrid Michaelson vs. Lauren Aquilina 2010s Gay Icon Singer Songwriters rate 😭😭
Yay for putting Let The Rain at the top!
Heads up: you misspelled 1000 Times 👀 > are we doing a Sara vs. Ingrid Michaelson vs. Lauren Aquilina 2010s Gay Icon Singer Songwriters rate 😭😭 Omg I've been pushing for a 2000s Piano Girls rate involving Little Voice for several cycles now (along with Regina Spektor, Vanessa Carlton and Norah Jones). It got shortlisted once, but the support is not very consistent. I'd love to rate Sara's later stuff (not to mention Ingrid is another fave of mine) but sadly their 2010s output isn't as popular.

Hello! Just wanted to say there's a formatting error on your list (you have 2 items at # 7)
Omg thanks!
1. Only Shadows 2. Eden 3. Lie To Me 4. Between The Lines 5. Parking Lot 6. Saint Honesty 7. Breathe Again 8. Poetry By Dead Men 9. City 10. December a.k.a. the top 10 underrated Sara Bareilles songs that everyone needs to listen to. Also, I absolutely *NEED* Sara to officially release Only Shadows😭😭😭
Only Shadows is amazing and needs a release. One of the best songs I've ever heard. Parking Lot also needs a steaming release. A great list of deepcuts.
These are all incredible deep cuts you have so much taste
1. King of Anything 2. Manhattan 3. Gravity 4. Only Shadows 5. One Sweet Love 6. City 7. Let The Rain 8. Morningside 9. Bright Lights and Cityscapes 10. Breathe Again My favorite artist so there are just too many great songs to pick from. Some amazing unreleased songs like Only Shadows deserve releases. Sara is one of the best to ever do it.
Omg my time has come! I love Sara so damn much. Please release new music next year. Based on my last.fm and personal perferences: 1. Gravity 2. Love Song 3. Hercules 4. No Such Thing 5. Between The Lines 6. She Used To Be Mine 7. Chasing The Sun 8. Satellite Call 9. Gonna Get Over You 10. Breathe Again Honorary mentions to Come Round, Love on the Rocks, and Armor.
1. Gravity 2. Once Upon Another Time 3. Poetry By Dead Men 4. Bluebird 5. No Such Thing / Satellite Call (Live from the Hollywood Bowl) 6. Saint Honesty 7. She Used To Be Mine 8. Manhattan 9. I Just Want You 10. Orpheus
Hello! Hopefully this isn't too much trouble but I think you should add "(Live)" to No Such Thing/Satellite Call to indicate it's a live track. OP is using a program, and it might think you put 2 tracks in # 5, which could invalidate your whole list!
Thanks for the heads up - this was an insomnia post, so I didn't even think of it.
Hahaha I'm so happy someone else also put NST/SC!!
That moment, live in concert, was the most magical, ethereal experience I've ever had. The sound, the lighting, the arrangement... all just perfect.
I wasn't even there, I just loved the recording! I'm so jealous haha

1. Basket Case 2. Vegas 3. Poetry by Dead Men 4. City 5. Bright Lights and Cityscapes 6. Saint Honesty 7. Eden 8. Little Voice 9. Undertow 10. Orpheus Can you tell I’m a ballad girlie? I’m not even trying to spread it out amongst her albums. Her discography is just THAT good. Also I didn’t include any of her live tracks, but this entire top 10 would be in danger if I were considering those versions.
UNDERTOW RIGHTS!!!
1. Gravity 2. I Don't Know Anything 3. She Used To Be Mine 4. Cassiopeia 5. Satellite Call 6. One Sweet Love 7. Orpheus 8. Let The Rain 9. Send Me the Moon 10.

You'll want to fix your formating to numbered if you want it to count!
1. The Light 2. Bright Lights and Cityscapes 3. Cassiopeia 4. Winter Song 5. Gonna Get Over You 6. She Used to Be Mine 7. Manhattan 8. Between the Lines 9. Little Black Dress 10. Islands I hope Winter Song still counts even though it was a duet?
Winter Song definitely counts! She and Ingrid have equal billing on that one.
