Sara Bancroft

Hi there! This music contains songs I composed between 1994 - 2006. They include work in my music studio, live performances at coffee shops, and from my piano recital in 2000. The very last song is the first song I ever composed in the 6th grade (1978). I'm currently studying the flute while working on some piano/flute pieces with my instructor. Future music will have a different website. I'll direct you to it when the material is ready. Thank you for listening! Sara

Story behind the song

On January 31, 2005, I thought my upstairs neighbor had committed suicide. I heard the police outside, the guerny on the stairs, family members whispering, etc. I wrote this song to express my feelings. Turns out - I had dreamt it all. The neighbor was never suicidal, never took his life and is still living  today with his family. What ELSE in our lives have been only dreams?

Lyrics

In Need

(Verse) 
There goes another spirit
Floating in the night
It finally left behind
The one who held on tight
Gazing seamlessly
Hoping we might see
What happens when we run
With our insanity
 
There walks another spirit
Down a lonesome hall
There goes another child
Who I can never call
Staring back at me
Hoping I might see
That I am face to face
With this insanity
 
(Chorus)
Just tell me why --
People need to do it
Why--
People walk right to it
Claiming something else
Other than God
to set them free

Just tell me why -- 
People will not show it
Why--
People need to hold it
The truth about humanity
Is saying "We're in need"
I'm in need....
I'm in need....
 
(Verse)
Too many false impressions
From a busy day
Is what a "left-over" 
Might say to ease the pain
While wiping windows 
From their stain
For hidden memories 
In the rain
 
But with friends, tonight,
And God, I will not fall
Those haunting visions
Will not frighten me at all
I will release the dove 
Within the spirit's call
And know tonight 
That I am standing tall

(Repeat Chorus x2)
