He began writing lyrics as a small child while "people watching" in his mom and pop's family diner. That is to say, when he wasn't working and helping his mom and pop at the diner as a cook, dishwasher, waiter or cashier! In those days, he always had a pad of paper, loose-leaf sheet, or even a napkin to feverishly write down lyrics. As technology evolved, his iPhone, iPad, and computer have gladly become the recipients of those lyrics. Do you have any idea how long it took to digitize all those songs??

Sarantos love of music is profound. His lyrics express his love of people and the world around him. While life is fraught with many challenges, it also offers many blessings. His songs span an entire spectrum of emotion. And lest he take himself too seriously, Sarantos has a pretty wicked sense of humor. You may recognize this in some of his more lighthearted lyrics, facebook or twitter posts, and even in a random music video or two...
Whether a particular song or lyric is deep, serious or lighthearted, most people would agree that it is something they can relate to as people of this planet.

Please enjoy Sarantos music...

I Sing
Sarantos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I Sing

My sweetheart, is wondering
Why am I doing this, all of a sudden
My kids are, all pondering
Why am I cooler, than them all?

My friends are, all wondering

If I am having a, midlife crisis
My staff, is considering
That I am hipper than them all

Well the truth is simple
And the truth should be told
I like to sing
Cuz' it helps soothe my soul

I sing, because I'm happy
I sing, because I'm free
I sing, because I cannot
Keep the music inside of me

My fans come out, to see my show
They kinda all go, I like his songs
They're cool as, they can be they know
They are the coolest, bunch of all

My singing, is hypnotic
And I am having, so much fun
When I'm on the stage, I don't feel idiotic
I just act cool and let it flow

Well the truth is simple
And the truth should be told
I like to sing
Cuz' it helps soothe my soul

I sing, because I'm happy
I sing, because I'm free
I sing, because I cannot
Keep the music inside of me

I sing, because I'm happy
I sing, because I'm free
I sing, because I cannot
Keep the music inside of me

Why am I singing you ask?
Why do you care why I sing?

I sing for you
I sing for me
I'll sing ‘til you stop feelin' blue
And ‘til I stop feeling free, free, free…

Well the truth is simple
And the truth should be told
I like to sing
Cuz' it helps soothe my soul

I sing, because I'm happy
I sing, because I'm free
I sing, because I cannot
Keep the music inside of me

I sing, because I'm happy
I sing, because I'm free
I sing, because I cannot
Keep the music inside of me

Why am I singing you ask?
