She received overwhelming acclaim from U.S. and European club audiences and was soon asked to record the theme song to the film Princess Mononoke; the critically acclaimed, Holy Smoke, starring Kate Winslet; Modigliani, starring Andy Garcia; and most recently, the end credit song to Kettle of Fish starring Mathew Modine and Gina Gerson. Her song “Miles Away” was chosen as the theme song for the 2005 Toronto Film Festival. Her alluring rendition of “Angeli” was featured in Victoria Secret’s Fall 2006 campaign.
Sasha sings for top designers and celebrities at events like the re-opening of Bulgari’s flagship store in Beverly Hill’s, and for the launching of their new jewelry lines in Cannes, Paris, Basel, Sao Paolo, Rome and St. Petersburg. She performed for Maserati at The Four Seasons, and different fashion designers including Caroline Herrera and Richard Tyler, Max Mara, and Narciso Rodriguez. Sasha’s most recent appearance was for the Whitney Museum’s annual charity gala this past October.
Sasha Lazard’s debut album, The Myth of Red, was released on Higher Octave Music//EMI and made a remarkable impact on Billboard’s Hot Dance Chart and Billboard’s Classical Crossover Chart. Sasha has completed an acoustic CD entitled “Moonfall” which is available on CDbaby.com/sasha Lazard. She is at work on a follow up album to The Myth of Red, working with producers BLISS and collaborating again with Frank Fitzpatrick and David Tobocman. The EP will soon be available on CD Baby.com.

Tell Me Why
Sasha Lazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One we long to hear
'Til it's over
Love has its way with me
I fall too easily
Why must there be love
Won't you tell me why
Won't you tell me why
Men in the quite of love
Give us lust for love
So convincing
Then when they win your heart
They just break
It in pieces
Why must I feel love
And why give me love if not forever
Won't you tell me why
Won't you tell me why
I remember
The way you made me tremble
I was so (so) astounded
By the thought that I had found you
A dream come true
Won't you tell me why
Won't you tell me why
Why must there be love
And why give me love if not forever
Oh why must I feel love
Won't you tell me why
Won't you tell me why
In Sasha Lazard's song "Tell Me Why," the singer explores the complex and often painful nature of love. She begins by acknowledging that love is a simple word that we all long to hear, but it can also be fleeting and temporary. She then goes on to describe how love affects her, causing her to fall too easily and leaving her with a sense of longing and confusion. Despite this, she still feels drawn to the idea of love and can't help but wonder why it exists at all.
The second verse deals with the ways in which men often use love to manipulate and control women. The singer describes how men in the quiet of love can make us feel lustful and vulnerable, only to break our hearts once they have won us over. She questions why she must continue to feel love at all if it is so often associated with pain and disappointment.
The final verse is a reflection on a past relationship, one in which the singer felt so strongly for her partner that she was left trembling with emotion. Despite the intensity of her feelings, however, the relationship ultimately ended, leaving her with more questions than answers about the nature of love.
Overall, "Tell Me Why" is a poignant and introspective exploration of love and its many complexities. It acknowledges the joy and beauty that can come from loving someone deeply, while also recognizing the painful and often confusing aspects of this powerful emotion.
