Well that does make it sound better but still not sure on it

[meraki]

Yeah, it is not the best cover, but it has grew on me. And I hope it will look really cool when I get it in my mail on the release day.

bixblitz from KCE posted this yesterday. It is from KC site.

A week ago(!) Kelly popped on her website and responded to some people that wrote some things on the lyrics page. Kelly Clarkson Comments On Fans' Heartwarming Stories Shared On Her Lyrics | MetroLyrics Heartbeat Song Sharon Hile When I was pregnant with both my children I would hear the heartbeat during my doctor’s appointments, back then it was just through the doctor’s stethoscope. But I would get this overwhelming at times feeling that I am “harboring” the life of my child and only I can do this. Once they were born, even though they were right there in my arms I almost missed that “harboring” feeling. I felt more joy listening to my grandson’s heartbeat before he was born. This song gives happiness to hear and think about the heartbeat and breathing and joy to be alive. You are an angel to put “our” thoughts and feelings into beautiful music. Can’t wait for the CD!!!! My daughter in law and I sat front row center at your concert at DTE theater and enjoyed every minute. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) That’s so sweet, Sharon! As a new mother, I can definitely relate. I am mesmerized by the power of the heartbeat after hearing River’s for the first time. We even used it in the first promotional clip announcing heartbeat song. Thanks for reaching out! Hope we see ya on the road this summer! John I love the concept of this album and what this song represents. To me Heartbeat Song is true to my own heart. When I was born I was born with Tetraology of Fallot which is a heart defect. Within many surgeries 1/2 my lungs calapsed and It got me to go thru multiple open hearts. When I was 20 I had my last open heart surgery. Now! 5 years later I can turn up this song and make it my own anthem that my heart beat is and always be irregular but a sensation of victory. That’s My Heartbeat Song! Thanks Kelly! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Wow!!! This story just represents the best part about music: that songs have such different meanings to every listener. I couldn’t love what Heartbeat Song represents to you more!!! I am so glad your heart is rockin’ and you can turn it up up up! Yeahhhh! Take You High Brittany S. This song makes me think of my mom. She raised 4 kids all on her own. She hit a rough patch when I was in high school and she did the most bravest thing I’ve ever seen. She went back after 22 years and got her GED and was the salutatorian of her class. Now she has been a manager at a company for 6 years and she’s about to enter a supervising program. I am incredibly proud of her. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Okay, Brittany, this is awesome. I am so moved by this on so many levels. My Mom was a teacher and I value education so much and your Mom is just incredibly impressive and, not to mention, brave. I have one child and am blessed to have so much support and it still has it’s challenges, so I can not fathom having 4 children and very little support. She is a hero. And she is so incredibly lucky to have a daughter who recognizes that. Tell her SHE ROCKS from me. <img src=" class="wp-smiley" /> Caroline Gjerde This is totally me. I care so much for the people around me. I do anything for my friends and family. I always do everything I can to make other people smile. If something isn’t right, I do my best to help and let them know I’ll always be there for them if they need anything. It’s exactly what you do for me as well. When im not feeling that good, I always listen to your music, and watch your interviews on youtube. You always make me smile with your wise words and adorable laugh. When my angels fall out of the sky. You’re the wings that make me fly. Thank you Kelly. I can’t wait to get the album! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Caroline, you are so sweet!!! I love that you care so much about others! Always make sure to take care of yourself, too! That’s just as important! <img src=" class="wp-smiley" /> I am honored you YouTube my music and interviews. I totally do that with Meryl Streep. I’ve gone down some intense you tube vortexes watching Meryl Streep interviews. Once you watch hers, you won’t want to watch mine. Hahaha. Someone Jessica This reminds me of things I only dream about. The relationship side of my life has been horrible in the last 5 years but I still hold my head high every day because I know one day it will happen and I’ll find someone who will make all the struggle of relationships just a memory. Your albums have pulled me through a lot of my dark times and I could not be more thankful! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Jessica, Girl, I was in relationships that didn’t work out for a long time and then was single for 6 years so I feel ya! Everyone told me it would happen one day and I thought they were annoying, but it did happen so I guess they were right so you are wise to keep that head up! Take this time to figure out who you are and to be okay being alone because then when you find that someone, you will have a complete version of yourself to offer. And it will be all the more sweet! Joey High I believe we are all desperately looking for peace in life. Our matching puzzle piece and even though it doesn’t always have to be perfect just knowing that you have found something to add to your value. Many people are hurt and lonely and missing that piece in their lives. They just want someone so desperate to fill a void. I believe there are people that come into our lives to lift us up and sometimes just being in the comfort of that person makes you feel like it’s all going to be ok. It makes you believe again. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Joey, this is a really thoughtful sentiment. I agree that everyone is searching for peace. Everyone goes about it differently but so many people do try to find it in another person. This can be dangerous. Or it can be beautiful. Or sometimes both. *Cue Beautiful Disaster* Either way, I can’t wait for you to hear the full version of this song and see what you think. Invincible Meghan Larabee Recently I have been doing things that would seem scary to me before, but I’ve realized that I can do anything because I’m invincible, like you! I can’t wait to hear this album while I’m going to Costa Rica on my first airplane ride!! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Meghan! Look at you going on your first plane ride!!! I love this song so much and I hope it empowers you like it does me! Go for it!!! Andrew Muszynski This one reminds me of the time I let go of all my inhibitions and took a risk in life to study abroad and it really opened up the world to me and showed me I can do many things if I just believe in myself! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Very cool, Andrew! I think the best thing we can all do is travel abroad – nothing opens our hearts and minds more. And studying abroad is even cooler – immersing yourself in a different culture must teach you so much about yourself. I wish I had done that! Well done, you. Can’t wait for you to hear Invincible! Becky Rossman LOVE the lyrics, I can SO relate! Recovering from a divorce and learning to be a single mom and find myself again. I’m ready to be a perfect storm! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Good for you, Becky!!!! If you find your strength waning, I hope you will remember these words you wrote and crank up Invincible! Stories like these are why I love what I do. Good luck!!!! Piece By Piece Eric Hull wow I just wanted to say that after reading this lyric to the title of your album that this is by far a mile stone in your life that now that you are a mother and knowing what you experienced being a child and now seeing your own child having a parent in her life that she will never have to wonder her worth because you will always be there for her loving her and supporting her. life sure does teach us all about where we have grown up and asks us that question of what kind of person do I want to become in life. To either break off from the bad experiences and do things in a better way than what we had to go through. so that our children can have a better life. my mother taught me all while growing up how bad she had it and didn’t want the same thing for her children. She made it her promise that she would do things different in raising my siblings and I. She would always be there for us and want the best for us. I can’t wait to hear the finished song and all the rest of the album. I can all ready tell I can relate to every song by reading the lyric you shared in each song. I can find a little bit of something by it and be inspired and also see how the song may mean to you and how it can mean something to me and your fans. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Hey Eric – I agree, the most powerful thing we can do as humans is learn and grow from ours and others mistakes, especially within our family systems. It’s not about being a victim, it’s about having the strength to say, “I’m going to change the cycle.” And it’s hard! Thanks for reaching out! Jeremy Bingaman Wow, this instantly makes me think of my biological dad. He left me and my mom when I was 6 months old. My mom had to play the role of both mother and father for me. Even though we didn’t have everything, we had each other and that was enough. If I’m interpreting the lyrics correctly, this song may hit home for me more than any other before it. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Hey Jeremy! Yeah, you are interpreting the lyrics correctly. I relate and I’m sorry because, no matter what, there is just a pain that comes with not having a parent around… Our stories are so common and that makes me so sad. I wrote this song in about 45 minutes. It needed to come out. I don’t know how I’ll sing it live. But the song has become an important part of my story and knowing that cool people like you may relate to it makes it worth it. And the song ultimately has a hopeful ending – and I think you will definitely relate being a new Dad (a little birdie told me that.) War Paint Christine I can definitely relate to this lyric. I’ve definitely kept up my own walls due to lifelong struggles with not having the confidence in my own capabilities. I know I can go really far if I break these walls, but then I feel vulnerable–afraid of making mistakes or just have people think I’m odd or “not normal”. Don’t laugh, but the message reminds me a little of “Let It Go” from Frozen. That is, let your talents shine through. I think this will definitely be an empowering song. Looking forward to the new album! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Hey Christine! I understand what you’re saying! And I hope this songs empowers you to LET IT GO and be your true self even if that means being “not normal.” Not normal is way cooler than being like everyone else. Lliur Moreno I’m the type of person who is constantly analyzing others (not judging, analizing) and it’s incredible how closed some people are. I know we all suffer and have been through a lot of pain and struggle in life and that’s the reason why sometimes people don’t open up in front of others. I think that’s what this song is about. Living in a shell to protect ourselves from the painful things in life and by doing it we never show how beautiful we really are. Totally inspiring. Everyone is different but we all are full of love and happiness, don’t be afraid to be yourselves! Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Lliur! Cool name! Yes, this song does encompass the theme of softening the hard edges we put up to protect ourselves. Warpaint is about baring our souls without the pretenses and fears that hold us back. May we all practice that! Let Your Tears Fall Emily Brown Love the sounds of this one. Reminds me of another one of your songs that I hold near and dear to my heart which is Dark Side. I am holding out hope for one guy in particular that everybody is telling me to give up on but I have seen another side to him. He’s been through things that I can’t imagine going through and its what is holding him back from actually making us happen. Heartbreaking or stupid or sweet that I am waiting but I believe in him. Who knows if he will just take the courage and know that I am here no matter what. Good or bad we all have a past. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Emily, I don’t judge! I’ve been there in my own way and I hope it all works out for you. I can see how these lyrics inspired you and I think it’s really cool. <img src=" class="wp-smiley" /> Hang in there and always put your oxygen mask on first! Ha. <img src=" class="wp-smiley" /> Clarissa I’ve been friends with a guy for quite some years. Even though we’ve never met for real as we live far apart,we can talk about everything. He’s had a lot of personal issues and sometimes says things that would drive other people away (as it has happened with many of his older friends before), but I don’t care. I want him to be happy and I’d love to help him overcome his fears. I won’t let him be, I know he can become the man he wants to be one day. He only has to start believing a little bit more. Everyone deserves to have a good friend who you can always turn to and who listens to you no matter how silly the topic seems for yourself. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Clarissa, you are a good friend and for that you should feel proud. I’m glad you related this song to your friend. He is a lucky guy! Dance With Me Melanie For me this makes me think of letting go of all the stress and difficulties and negativity in our lives by listening to music (your music especially). Not worrying about the past or fearing the future but living in the moment. Music is healing.I love blasting the music on in my car after a long day of work. Just jammin’ out to my favorite tunes is how I live in the moment. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Melanie, I could not have said it better myself!!! Alisia Navarro There is no doubt that music heals. No matter what kind of day I’m having, all I have to do is turn on my music and go into my musical bubble where I can escape everything and just listen to the music, sing along and dance. These lyrics remind me of putting my worries to the side and have a girl’s night out with my best friends where I’m laughing, feeling loved, listening to awesome music, and dancing the night away at the country club with no worries in my head. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Amen, Alisia! I relate to these lyrics the same way. The universal power of music and the way it heals us… It can be mindless or deep but it’s always there to help however we need it. Right on. I Had A Dream David W. Dobrosky Kelly….I believe in this lyric so much. what we leave behind surely tells our story of life. I know that in life I have made mistakes and I’m working on making those mistakes right. I want my footprints to be deep..i want them to leave a message that we can fall, but surely get up again. the deeper the footprint the stronger the story. I want my footprint to help others and let them know that there is help out there and that we can change for the better, no matter how much life can bring us down. thank u for your inspiration through music and your messages. -Dave Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Hi Dave. Thanks for this inspiring message! I’m with you, I want to leave footprints my family, friends and (mostly) myself will be proud of. I’ve thought a lot about that lately when looking at some of the younger artists and what they are choosing to be their legacy. It’s not that I’m being judgmental, I understand everyone has different reasons and beliefs for what they do or don’t do, but it still has made me think of my own personal journey and what I want to be said about me and who I am as a person when it’s all said and done. <img src=" class="wp-smiley" /> James Young I think the footprints I leave are my children. Because of them I walk a different line. My love will carry them throughout their lives….they are MY footprints. Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) Hey James! I relate to this. Character, integrity and LOVE are the best things we can pass down to our children!

[shinebrighterxx]

I don't know if I want to read that or not

[meraki]

Yeah, I only read one or two of them.

[shinebrighterxx]

It is sweet that she did response to comments like that. I want to go in with a clear mind for the album though so while I doubt they spoil anything I'm reluctant

[meraki]

Yeha, I don't want that either. I will be a good girl and wait until the 27th. (or 26th if I get it then.)

There are some rumors that we will get these songs on the week before March 3rd.

Invincible - February 23 Piece by Piece - February 24 Run Run Run - February 25 Take You High - February 26 Someone - February 27

[MirageDurb]

She doesn't go into much detail specifically about any of the songs. It's more responding to what the people mentioned.

I feel like I kind of want to listen to the entire album when I get it on the 3rd, but if they are releasing songs in the days before release, I'm sure I'll listen to them and be just fine with that.

[meraki]

Yeah, if it is true I might listen to the two first songs. We will see.

[meraki]

Amazing picture.

And the next single is Invincible. She said it in the BBC radio breakfast.

I was just coming to be sure that photo was here. It's stunning.
