My Most Popular Song To Date

I don't know if anyone was wondering what my most popular song is, but I'll tell you anyway. Here at Studio Sarah Records whenever we open up "Gardening from the Ground Up Part 1" on iTunes it looks like the popularity indicators have gone in an unexpected direction. This has lead me to believe that those indicators are not so accurate. Here are the true rankings from all the digital sales combined.

I have to point out that the rankings are very close, so none of you are losers here!

Ranking of Popularity to Date Based on Sales

1. Wake Up

2. Gardening from the Ground Up

3. Be My Friend Always

4. Missing You Now

5. Let's Go Away

As you can see, the ranking almost goes in the order of the album except that Be My Friend Always has surpassed Missing You Now. As you might know if you read the song descriptions in the music section here on the site, Be My Friend Always is my favorite song. The recording process was very enjoyable for me and the finished product fully met my vision for the song. But, I have always loved Wake Up and am so glad to hear how much others have found meaning in it's lyrics.

Congratulations Wake Up!

Nexeus Fatale Features Me On His Podcast

In Episode 7, "Moments of Life", Nexeus Fatale (DJ, podcaster, and tech savvy individual), features my song, "Wake Up," along with eleven other great songs from other singer/songwriters and bands.  

I met Nexeus a month ago at the fabulous, unforgettable Squarespace party.  Squarespace is the web hosting company I use for my website and blog.  They have a great platform for websites, and they throw a great party! Nancy, Nexeus, and I were riding the same elevator up to the party and we hit it off immediately.  Right away he was blowing my mind with all his tech knowledge, and I've been implementing all his ideas ever since.

Go to his site, press play, and enjoy.

Wake Up YouTube Video and Lyrics

Here is the video of Wake Up, a song that you've only heard if you've been to one of my shows. I'm excited to finally have more people hear it. It was recorded at my recent American Folk Art Museum gig. Here are the lyrics...

It's daylight, and I didn't even realize cause my curtains never open to the sun.
It's daylight, but it's dark inside these walls, and I never have to leave when there's food delivery.
It's daylight, and the people go outside, and they do the things they do, while I'm stuck inside this room. Repeat.

Wake Up little girl. Stop covering your eyes.
There's a life for you to live,
And a family who loves you, and some friends who wanna see you smile.

It's nighttime, the time that I should sleep, but I'm longing for the day I left behind.
It's nighttime, but it's light inside these walls, and the TV shows the happiness I want.
It's nighttime, and I'm sad because I'm tired, but it might be that I'm tired cause I'm sad.

Wake Up little girl. Stop covering your eyes.
There's a life for you to live,
And a family who loves you, and some friends who wanna see you smile.
Give them what they want little girl, don't be so afraid.
It's just one bad day little girl, it's just one bad day. Instrumental Break.

Wake Up. Wake Up. Wake Up, please oh please. Repeat.
Won't you wake up. Won't you wake up. Chorus.
