About this episode

Sara Bareilles discusses her new song 'Home' and the importance of sharing grief with Anderson Cooper.

In a new song "Home" that Sara wrote after listening to Anderson’s talk with Stephen Colbert, she sings, "What is broken cannot heal 'till it's known and loved by name." In this moving conversation she shares "Home" for the first time, and talks with Anderson about the "medicinal" nature of sharing one's grief with others.
