about
“Truth” by Michelle Sarah reminds us that we have the power to rise and focus on what serves the heart—it creates a better situation for everyone. Michelle enlisted Steve Berlin to produce her upcoming album and his acute sense of production prowess helped craft the track into a carefully honed foundation of wah-wah guitar vamps, committed horn punches, and pocket grooves to allow her commanding vocals to soar. The band features DJ Williams, Dan Africano, Eric Luba, Eric Imbrociano, Tim Phillpot, and a tight-knit horn section. Lyrically, Michelle speaks to not giving your soul away to make ends meet and how we often find ourselves distracted from what is most important in life. Michelle Sarah will release her debut album on Color Red in the coming months with additional singles on the way.
lyrics
"VS1
Feel like I'm on the other side of the world
Where things aren't as I thought they were
People all over everywhere
They're wearing masks like they don't care
Living up, living every day
All droned out feel a wasted space
Inside recognize today
You can fill it up, don't waste away
We all need a means to survive
Something everyday to give meaning to life
Something better than this 9 to 5
getting me all worked up inside
PRE-CH
On the shore of what we know
We're far from sure of what's in store
In these darker days, this golden hour
More than ever gotta stick together
There's a better way than fighting our lives away
So say what, what you want to
Or learn to know the truth that
CH
We all need love to survive
But we can't live on these empty lies
So if we could stand up for what is right
We just might get brought back to the light
Come on, lets go
VS2
Get up get it out of the way
The 8 to 10 hours you'll work today
Make sure you don't give your soul away
While you're gone making ends meet some way
Giving up, giving all of my time
I'm dedicated to a peace of mind
Nothing's lost living from sign to sign
On the highway we call this life
PRE-CH
Unforgiving the life we're leading
It's better off we learn to see in
These darker days, golden hour
More than ever gotta stick together
There's a better way than fighting our lives away
So say what, what you want to
Or learn to know the truth
CH"
