FANCY SMANCY

Hi friends.

Welcome to my new blog-- "Shadows of a Song"

ok. same blog, but NEW title (thank you mr. jacobsen)

and new fancy look.

and even my very own BUTTON

to share. wouldn't that look great on your

blog wall? yep, it would.

It feels refreshing to have

a new space in write in.

I didn't want to have my blog called

sarahsample.boring.blogspot.lame-o.com

and 'shadows of a song' is the title

of a song off my new record.

It is actually one of my personal favorites

on the record. Paul Jacobsen had his

hand in several drafts which is probably why

it made my favorites list.

The idea was using a song as the metaphor for love.

The first verse--

"once my love was a band, and you were the kickdrum

jumpstart my heart and we start to run

didn't care we were so young

we tried so hard

to play all the right parts

with our hands full of false starts

till the downbeat dragged us apart"

Each verse is a different relationship

and the singer is chasing

the idea of a perfect song or perfect love

and can only get glimpses of it with each relationship.

the chorus sings

"I hear it, then it's gone

melodies haunt me

shakes it's chains and leads me

on an endless marathon

I lose my breath, chasing

shadows of a song"

I think part of, if not the main purpose we

are on this earth is to learn to love.

We get chances everyday to do this

with our families

strangers

neighbors

and maybe the hardest relationship

to learn to love

is with ourselves.

Let's celebrate my new blog together.
