Re-Imagine

Reflective of the challenges facing the world today, Re-Imagine is a call for unity and imagination in order to rise above. The pandemic put a pause on many activities and has offered an opportunity for a more robust global effort to combat issues facing humanity – these include disease, the existential threat of climate change, economic disparity, and social injustice. Only by bringing out the very best in one another may the call be answered to ensure a harmonious existence for current and future generations. The song, based on Sarah’s piano line, inspirational lyrics, and full instrumentation, uplifts this message.

Whimsical Romance

CD Download	In cart Not available Out of stock

Life is like one big romance. This collection of songs is about that romantic story called life, and the ups and downs that come along with it. Based on true stories, mixed with some fantastical exaggerations, this is a fun and playful album of the vast array of emotions that come along with relationships. Written at various stages throughout her life, these are raw stories that have been tried and tested at the piano, even with audience involvement – some relying on percussive snapping and clapping. Feelings range from happiness and pure bliss like in the song “This Kiss”, to a character of craziness and denial like “Next Time”, to more intimate reflections like in “Paranoia”, while others emit strength and moving on. Raw and rustic, catchy and melodic, this album has hints of blues, jazz, and even ragtime.

"Re-Imagine" (Tiny Desk Style)

The NPR Tiny Desk Contest pushed me to make this acoustic-style recording of my song "Re-Imagine". Wanted to share! I quite like this recording setup, think I might do some more of it!

And, of course, here is my "produced" version of the song and the music video I released last year:

This song was really just my thoughts on a stormy day last year.. it felt like the world was out of control around me and ..well, you know, we've all witnessed it all together. It's been a wild time. However, I was also studying and reading and watching inspiring people, projects, and ideas..I realized that there was so much opportunity in the rebuilding that would have to be done. Courageous individuals and creative thinking meant that as hopeless as things might seem, the reality is limitless potential! We must constantly RE-IMAGINE what the world can be!
