Sarah

(Christopher Van Name)

For Nell and Ludlow “Lud” Thorston. Loud was a prominent water colorist who passed a few years ago at 92. He loved to listen to “The Divine One”, Ms. Sarah “Sassy” Vaughn while he painted. One day, in 1990, upon completing a beautiful water color of a sand dune, he heard that Ms. Vaughn had passed away. With tear filled eyes he came down the steps from his studio and told his darling wife Nell. He named his painting SARAH.

Like a breeze
You floated through the room 
Soft and Sassy 
Sunday afternoons
You’d sing your song
My hands would play along 
Sarah, you belonged to me

And when I’d hear
Your sultry voice 
All the colors 
Of my world rejoiced 
Painting sunset seas
To broken hearted melodies 
Sarah, you belonged to me 

Framing windswept dunes
Beneath a rising moon
You lingered in my soul
With every heartfelt word
My brush sailed like a bird
Across a canvas shoal

Subtle, rich and bold
All the highs and lows
Heaven knows, you made me blue
Your shadow brought me light
My strokes were broad and bright 
My palette sang with you

Like a breeze
You floated through the room 
Soft and Sassy 
Sunny afternoons 
You’d sing your song
My hands would play along 
The whole day through 

You’d sing your song
My hands would play along
Sarah, I’ll always remember you

Whenever she goes away I miss her. Still hard after all these years. Hold onto love. It may never come again.

The last tear

By Christopher Van Name

You can’t help someone who won’t help themselves and take ownership of their own life, their own decisions, and live with the consequences of their actions. There comes a time when you have to detach with love.

The Sun

By Howard Aronson

The song is about war despair no light at the end of the tunnel. And it's all because the sycophants, the people who look down on us for their own gain, as they rule the world. The sky is dark there is no sun there is no warmth there is no hope. The sky is just basically a roof that keeps out the light and if I ever see the light again it will be short-term. They will always be sycophants that come along and take control. It's been like that since the start of time. This lyric is very abstract, and there's a lot of ways you can interpret it. Even I'm having a tough time explaining why I wrote it and what it all means.

This song is about a person who's unfair and unkind to you, but it can also be used as metaphor for depression.

The Stallion

By Edward McBride

This song is an analogy comparing a wild stallion with young males bursting with testosterone. Told through the eyes of one woman who will not succumb to the temptation or pressure.
