Sarah: The Singer Within

September 25th, 2007

I was meant to be a singer. I know it’s hard to tell, mostly because I almost never sing. I always mean to connect to the emotion behind the words, behind the velvet voices and the endless verses. If it is easy to tell someone is lying with their eyes, it must be even more accurate a test with their voice.

That’s why music can be so powerful and emotional. It can render me helpless in tears, lost in a memory or dazed in my thoughts. It’s the actual music in a song, but most frequently it’s the human connection of the actual voice, and whatever that evokes. If you can’t feel it, it’s probably not really there.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, the voice is sound of the accompanied score. It’s how our soul sounds and the soundtrack to our lives.

I often find myself taking out my old records and listening to them for hours until I find a new track that shakes me out of my vintage vinyl coma; Alicia’s back!

But for now, here’s some old Billie Holiday for Sunday mornings and to tide you over until Ms Keys drops her record on November 18.

Peace!
