kiN has been making music for some time. Her first record as Sara - SARA - PEACD02 (at Some Pearls/Slask Records) was released in 1997(produced by Håkan Folkesson a.k.a. Paramaterial).
The album 'Sara' had some industrial elements to it, but occasionally seamlessly turned to electronic ambience, dancemusic and exciting rhythmics.
She also participated on a swedish vegan-compilation in 1997 'Defenders of the Oppressed Breed' and released a promo ep called 'Liberation' with 6 tracks from the album 'Sara'.
Sara has performed live at Hultsfredsfestivalen at the poetry scene in 1993. In 1998 she performed at Arvikafestivalen (her performance was cancelled for technical reasons the year before) and once in Falun at a small festival for alternative music (a bootleg live recording was released in small numbers on tape as 'live på AkA Alternativ Torsdag'). A demo-cd called Mushroom Airport was also released. She also recorded some promotional material some of which was published online at the first version of http://www.mp3.com/ (the downloadable tracks are long gone now) around the same time.

Kin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird fly...
Blackbird fly...
Into the light of the dark black night
Well, black singing in the dead of night
Oh you take this sunken eyes and learn to see... mmm
All your life...
You were only waiting for this moment to free
You were only waiting for this moment to free
You were only waiting for this moment to free...
The song "Blackbird" by Kin is primarily an uplifting song that is about making the most of your life and taking control of your destiny. The lyrics are focused on a blackbird singing in the middle of the night, which serves as a metaphor for someone who has been through a difficult time and is now ready to soar. The first stanza calls on the bird to "Take these broken wings and learn to fly," which urges the listener to use their previous struggles as a means to empower themselves moving forward. The second stanza refers to the bird's "sunken eyes" and encourages the listener to "learn to see," which may imply that the person has been blinded by their hardships or needs to be more perceptive of their surroundings.
