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.
Every Heart
Sara Haze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The smile you earned
Stumbles and falls
The lessons you've learned
Choices you've made
Your first heart break
Getting too old for the batman cape
Simpler times
Mesmerized my Christmas lights
Holding out
Giving in
All the what ifs and might have beens
Every heart has a story to tell
Some dreams have wings, some are torn at the seams
And just sit there on the shelf
If you were to walk in my shoes
You'd see we are all the same
So find the love inside yourself
Cause every heart has a story to tell
A Starburst rush
Your first real crush
Your bit by a dog a yellow school bus
Sweet 16
That concert you missed
Your best friend and your first kiss
Learning to fall
Wanting it all
Believing in Santa Claus
A letter you wrote
A promise you broke
Knowing when to say yes and when to say no
Every heart has a story to tell
Some dreams have wings, some are torn at the seams
And just sit there on the shelf
If you were to walk in my shoes
You'd see we are all the same
So find the love inside yourself
Cause every heart has a story to tell
So far away
Life can take you
Never forget
The hearts that shaped you
The love of your life
The fourth of July
The times that you laughed so hard you cried
The first day of ballet
Hardships you faced
All the memories along the way
It's the love you lost
The love you made
Makes us who we are today
Every heart has a story to tell
Some dreams have wings, some are torn at the seams
And just sit there on the shelf
If you were to walk in my shoes
You'd see we are all the same
So find the love inside yourself
Cause every heart has a story to tell
This is my heart This is my story to tell
Every heart has a story to tell
Sara Haze's "Every Heart" is a touching song that beautifully encapsulates the essence of life in its lyrics. The song portrays the various moments that one experiences in life, the good times, the bad times, the triumphs, and the failures, and suggests that everyone has a story to tell. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the different facets of life and urges the listener to embrace their own unique story.
The first verse of the song talks about growing up and how one transitions from being a child to becoming an adult. The lyrics highlight the experiences that shape individuals into who they are, such as summer sunburns and first heartbreaks. The song then moves on to describe important events in life, such as first love, broken promises, and knowing when to say yes or no.
The song's recurrent theme is that everyone has a story to tell, no matter how mundane or extraordinary it may be. Every person has dreams, some of which are crushed, some which come true, and others that remain unfulfilled. Every individual experiences life differently, but the emotions are the same. The lyrics suggest that instead of judging others, we should attempt to understand their story and the challenges they have faced.
