From the time Sara could talk, she learned how to sing. Growing up in a musical family, at an early age Sara practiced vocal exercises with her mother and by the age of four started playing the piano. A few years later Sara was singing lead in church. As writing became a way to avoid the teenage pitfalls, her poetry and journal entries turned into songs, and Sara found, “That process was extremely therapeutic.”
Sara was immediately noticed when she started singing Etta and Aretha covers in clubs and when she added her songs to the mix, the rest quickly fell in place. Sara has since had numerous song placements in TV including on such shows as, The Young & The Restless, One Life To Live, One Ocean View, and the Oxygen hit Bad Girls Club with a performance cameo on two episodes with country singer-songwriter Kerry Harvick. In addition Sara sang the theme song on one season of The Simple Life. Always honing her songwriting skills, Sara started working with songwriter/producers Pam Reswick and Nathan Meckel (Jo Dee Messina) of Spin Box Club. PEN Music Group Inc. took an interest and introduced Sara to Elicit Music’s production/songwriting team Heather Holley and Rob Hoffman (Christina Aguilera, Quincy Jones, Sheryl Crow), and she recently recorded three masters with them. She won the 2007 Pump Audio Song Submission Contest and performed at the ASCAP Create Music Expo to a crowd of 1200 where she was a finalist with her song “Dust From The Stars.” In May 2007 PEN Music Group, Inc. signed Sara Haze to a Licensing & Administration deal. In the summer of 2007 Sara will start writing songs with 5-time Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer Glen Ballard.
Just shy of 18, Sara’s forthcoming debut CD entitled The Ladder brings it all together and is an impressive recording. The songs at times reflecting eventual self-discovery ("Now I Understand"), the ups and downs of relationships, outright cries ("The Big Lie") to reflective and dreamy ("Dust From The Stars," "Balloon") or the wistful call of the road ("The Border"). To be released in June, The Ladder will feature songs co-written with E.B. Fraley, Spin Box Club and Elicit Music.
In support of the CD Sara Haze will play dates around the country including, in Denver at the Microsoft Convention (June), in Long Beach at Shoreline Village’s June Weekend Music Series, the Roxy in Hollywood (June 30), in Nashville at Lyrix, and a live radio broadcast from Cadillac Ranch in September. She will also do a residency every Thursday night in August at the “cozy, but crucial A&R hang” Genghis Cohen in Hollywood. Sara Haze’s band features: EB Fraley and Justin Wright on guitar, Axel Clark on drums and percussion, Andy Zacharias on bass and Sara on piano.
Beautiful Day
Sara Haze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little spare change given to the stranger on the corner
A pile of leaves deep enough for my soul to jump into
And all my doubts fall away
And lead me here to say
Its a beautiful day
Summer songs outside my window pane and I don't need my umbrella
I can feel the sunshine on my face
Not a cloud in my personal sky
Its a beautiful day
Change the world you know I would if I
Could
But all I have are my blue jeans and my black t shirt
And that's just fine cause everyday you know
I try
To make art not war
Let love rain
And lead the world to say
Its a beautiful day
Summer songs outside my window pane
And I don't need my umbrella
Cause I've already been through the rain
I can feel the sunshine on my face
Not a cloud in my personal sky
Its a beautiful day
The light will shine
In a perfect sky
The morning sun
Will be yours and mine
A sea of peace
Will wash over me
And I'll hold my breath and pray
Its a beautiful day
Summer songs outside my window pane and I don't need my umbrella
Cause I've already been through the rain
I can feel the sunshine on my face
Not a cloud in my personal sky
Its a beautiful day

The imagery of jumping into a pile of leaves is used to represent shedding our doubts and worries and allowing ourselves to fully indulge in the beauty around us.
The chorus proclaims that it's a beautiful day, with the summer songs outside the window pane and the sunshine on our face. The metaphorical language used to describe personal skies without clouds and being through the rain suggests that the singer has gone through tough times and has finally reached a place of contentment.
