Dear Sarah, Around ten years ago you came to a little campus pub in North Bay, Ontario. Where your audience was shy and baffled by your philosophical questions. Where you were given a piano with a broken key, and you hadn't finished writing your set list for the evening. Where in between songs you would play the Inspector Gadget theme song as you decided what to play next. Thank you for bringing me back there again Sarah your voice is still as beautiful as it was then.
my mind feels that this didn't make the cut!!! it's powerful, honest and so beautiful at the same time. brought tears to my eyes. ❤ thank you for sharing.
My god, this is gorgeous - and relevant. The rich, the poor, the rest of us staring at our screens, all looking for real love and not finding it. This may well be the best song you've ever written.
Sarah is a true quadruple threat.... Incredible Singer, Musician, Song Writer, and alarmingly beautiful. Not to mention all Canadian :) Hope you are doing well in January 2022, Sarah... your music is well loved still.... Smitty (proud Canadian who can't stand generic pop music and auto tune)
There’s a heart under pressure, in a glass tower in the sky, an emptiness consumes him, the more he feeds his appetite, and she rolls up the window, of her glassy limousine, thinking life should be an epic poem, not this flimsy magazine i have everything i have ever wanted i have everything i have ever wanted but i just want to feel love, real love where is the mercy, they speak to me of there’s a heart under pressure where the subway line begins it shakes the motel curtains as she slides the needle in and the pressure is mounting in a downtown alleyway he hears his spirit calling as he gives himself away where is everything i have ever wanted where is everything i have ever wanted oh i just want to feel love, real love where is the mercy, they speak to me of i wanna feel love, real love where is the mercy, they speak to me of under a western sky, over the plains out of the places where no light remains a generation keeps vigil staring into screams, somewhere in that window, i’ll find who i am supposed to be and everything i have ever wanted, oh is just to feel love, real love where is the mercy, they speak to me of i wanna feel love, real love where is the mercy, they preach to me of
Thanks for the transcript! There's one line that sounds different to me though: "Somewhere in that window/I'll find who I'm supposed to be". Just my two cents ;)
Hi Sarah, I was wondering since I presume you have final say, couldn't you have included this aong on the album if,you really wanted to? At,least on a digital download cooy only? How do you decide what makes the cut..I'm assuming it's it's not an issue of physical space on a disc..Thanks..
Thanks Leif. Sometimes physical space is a limit on the album and how many songs can make it. Land & Sea ended going as a double album with 2 different themes. Previous albums have included bonus songs including the Pre-Ordered digital version of Metaphysics. Maybe it will get re-imagined in a future album or digital release.
Dear Sarah,
Around ten years ago you came to a little campus pub in North Bay, Ontario. Where your audience was shy and baffled by your philosophical questions. Where you were given a piano with a broken key, and you hadn't finished writing your set list for the evening. Where in between songs you would play the Inspector Gadget theme song as you decided what to play next. Thank you for bringing me back there again Sarah your voice is still as beautiful as it was then.
Breathtakingly and hauntingly beautiful. The yearning and hope for the most fundamental quality of being human. Love. Grace, Blessings, and Peace.
Beautiful Song and Performance...
Thank You for sharing this!
very touching song Sarah, I like it.
Wow!! This is soaringly beautiful and yet didn't make the cut?? ...Thanks so much for sharing... A wonderful piece of music..
my mind feels that this didn't make the cut!!! it's powerful, honest and so beautiful at the same time. brought tears to my eyes. ❤ thank you for sharing.
Sarah Slean and piano strings. Those things combined, I could listen for eternity.
Keep it raw darling. You, if anybody, can carry your music.
wow, yes, you never *do* post anything rough! and you should! :) this is delicious. the verse melody feels very Cohen-esque to me. thank you :)
Beautiful!
Fear not about posting rough Sarah, your voice transcends the need for production polishing ... this is absolutely gorgeous

What a wonderful tune. Your voice resonates in every cell of my body, so moving, so freeing and beautiful. Thank you
This is a remarkable song - perhaps a special edition of Metaphysics with a cd of demo songs that did not make the cut?
GORGEOUS!
There’s a heart under pressure,
in a glass tower in the sky,
an emptiness consumes him,
the more he feeds his appetite,
and she rolls up the window,
of her glassy limousine,
thinking life should be an epic poem,
not this flimsy magazine
i have everything i have ever wanted
i have everything i have ever wanted
but i just want to feel love, real love
where is the mercy, they speak to me of
there’s a heart under pressure
where the subway line begins
it shakes the motel curtains
as she slides the needle in
and the pressure is mounting
in a downtown alleyway
he hears his spirit calling
as he gives himself away
where is everything i have ever wanted
where is everything i have ever wanted
oh i just want to feel love, real love
where is the mercy, they speak to me of
i wanna feel love, real love
where is the mercy, they speak to me of
under a western sky, over the plains
out of the places where no light remains
a generation keeps vigil
staring into screams, somewhere in that window,
i’ll find who i am supposed to be
and everything i have ever wanted,
oh is just to feel love, real love
where is the mercy, they speak to me of
i wanna feel love, real love
where is the mercy, they preach to me of

indeed, thanks.

Yes life should be an epic poem not this flimsy magazine I agree.
great song, made me cry. couple words i am missing at 2:56 : a generation keeps ? ? ? into screams
thanks
Is it..... "keeps vigil, staring into 'Screams" or 'Screens" ? I keep hearing 'Screens' but I could be wrong..
It is indeed "screens'... :) xo SS
I thought so :)
