Sahara (1):… Read Full Bio ↴Sahara is a name that has been used by multiple artists.
Sahara (1): German progressive/symphonic rock band with two albums in the 70s, Sunrise (1973) and For All the Clowns (1975). They featured sax and flute in their arrangements. See also Subject Esq.. Elements of style in common with The Moody Blues, Barclay James Harvest, Van Der Graaf Generator.
Sahara developed out of Subject Esq. After some line-up changes in 1973, this Munich group was signed to Pan (an Ariola subsidiary) and changed their name to Sahara: Hennes Hering (keyboards, ex-Out Of Focus), Michael Hoffmann (moog, mellotron, vocals), Alex Pittwohn (harmonica, sax, vocals), Stefan Wissnet (bass, vocals), Harry Rosenkind (drums) and Nick Woodland (guitar, ex-Gift). The album Sunrise (1974) was recorded in the Autumn of 1973 at the Musicland Studios, Munich. This was an excellent example of complex German symphonic rock, clearly influenced by British bands such as King Crimson, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Curved Air, Jethro Tull and others. Sunrise was nonetheless of an international quality, combining haunting melody lines with complex arrangements. The Sunrise suite filled the whole of side two. The album was also granted a British release on the Dawn label.
Sahara were never a stable unit. At the time of recording of "For All The Clowns" two years later, only Hering, Hoffmann and Wissnet remained from the 1974 line-up. The new members were: Gunther Moll (guitar, vocals) and Holger Brandt (drums, ex-Missing Link). The resulting album was another great effort - more polished and melodic with long, memorable songs like "The Mountain King" and the title track. Sadly, the band wasn't able to cope with more line-up changes when Brandt and Moll decided to leave, and consequently disintegrated in 1977. Sahara's legacy is two really great albums recommended for all fans of symphonic rock.
Sahara (2): is a project between Bulgarian pop/folk singer Andrea (Андреа) and Romanian singer/producer Costi Ionita (Costi Ioniţă).

Sahara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said keep going at the green light
Now you watching me the waterside
Cause' you used to stand in by the road
And every now when I never see your eyes
In the passer-by
It's not you but I still look twice
In the hope that you recognise
Go
I hear that you're with the clouds in the road
Train your engine fire up my home
To back the windows roll forward
And if (it) was so easy
I would turn back the time
So everyday
So I could recognise
Hard to find it in the sounding life
Drown the sorrow that is forlorn to you
And there's nothing there to...
The song "Green Light" by Sahara talks about a girl who used to stand by the road but now she is watching the singer by the waterside. The girl tells the singer to keep going at the green light, and even though the singer never sees her eyes among the passer-by, she hopes that the girl recognizes her too. The lyrics portray a sense of longing and yearning for someone who may have been lost or left behind. The singer also mentions turning back time so that she could recognize the person.
In the second verse, the singer talks about hearing that the girl is with the clouds in the road, which could be a metaphor for being lost or unreachable. The singer mentions the windows rolling forward, possibly indicating that she is moving forward in her life but still holding onto memories of the girl. The line "drown the sorrow that is forlorn to you" suggests that the person the singer is longing for may be going through a difficult time.
Overall, the song presents a bittersweet and wistful tone, with the singer wishing to reconnect with someone from her past but not knowing how to do so.
