Dear Sarah by david taro published on 2023-07-11T18:52:07Z This one was a late-February idea that didn't get over the line a) because it felt very heavy, and b) I wasn't convinced it was particularly good. It's still heavy, but I'm liking it a lot more now :) The pause in production also meant I could use my recently purchased Boss DD-200 delay pedal. And use it I have. Probably too liberally, but never mind. LYRICS Sarah, all I have are questions I don’t have the answers yet Even with the best intentions We were running up a debt Until the time had come to pay it I guess that’s what you get At least we’ll always have Berlin Strolling through the Tiergarten last Spring Sarah, all I ever wanted Was to see you smile Instead of always looking haunted The defendant in a trial But every time I tried to solve it I just made it worse At first I didn’t see it, now I do I only wish that you could see it too And I don’t have much to say But I’m going to say it anyway Even if I hesitate To set it down To set it right down It’s three o’clock at night I stare into this square of light Try to find a way to write To tell you why I just can’t say goodbye You were standing in the garden In that dress your mother made The leaves were pale and golden As the light began to fade I could see that you’d been crying In that understated way That Sarah, you would always do As if you hadn’t really wanted to And I don’t have much to say But I’m going to say it anyway Even if I hesitate To set it down To set it right down It’s three o’clock at night I stare into this square of light Try to find a way to write To tell you why I just can’t say goodbye I can’t say goodbye I can’t say goodbye...

Great lyrics, interesting production, but that voice is really the hook. Both unique and strong like Orbison, but also vulnerable and stretched just before the point of strain that makes it so relatable. 2023-10-03T19:26:31Z Comment by philippe blanc - composer belle chanson 2023-09-21T15:17:40Z Comment by EUkraine incredible, i cant say goodbye 2023-07-28T20:12:36Z Comment by tbone711 Way to stretch your voice David. Nothing wrong with “heaviness” so glad you revisited and followed through on this one, it’s a beauty brother! 2023-07-21T11:08:38Z Comment by Nadia Cripps Beatiful, loving, sad, poignant song. I can imagine your song in a movie where they will reunite. Very beautiful vocals, instrumental backing, solo, atmosphere. Everything makes your song truly special, memorable and the one people would feel deeply connected to. 2023-07-20T00:37:07Z Comment by Zachary Luke Great song 👏 2023-07-17T15:55:12Z Comment by NettaMoon Beautiful my friend!
