This song has always been one of my all-time favorites. It’s so romantic.

The full version will be on my record this spring.

You Are So Beautiful 💖 I’m excited to share my version with you! It’s now streaming everywhere. This song is love in its purest form. I hope to do it justice. ❤️

Written by the great Billy Preston (with Bruce Fisher)... I read that he wrote it about his mom 😍. The song was made famous by the one and only @joecockerofficial in 1974. 💕

Our version is very different! Hope it lulls you into a peaceful dream. ✨The wonderful @aliisse_ produced and mixed, 💕@_nickhodges played slide, @rob_kleiner mastered, and @jonieonline shot the vid. ✨

I love this one from the great @leonardcohen …The lyrics get me every time. Had such a lovely evening last night at @theartofelysium hanging out playing in the living room. If you’re in LA, come see me Saturday night at @healingforcerecords ! I’ll be doing this one with @matt_orenstein on lap steel. ☺️🎶

Never Been Hurt (5th Street version) is out in the world! 🌎🎶

It can be hard to open up to love again ❤️‍🩹 (especially if you’ve been hurt before - and who hasn’t!)… still, it’s the only way forward - in any context, romantic or otherwise. 💖

I hope it moves you. Find it wherever you get your music 🎶 — and the full vid is on my YouTube channel… 💃

This is a reincarnation of the first song I ever wrote!

Thank you to @spearfishermusic for this lovely recording (and for capturing the moment! 🎥 ), @matt_orenstein for the smooth mix, and @rob_kleiner for the stellar master.
~ Sara 🥰

Completely gutted that the greatest of all time - @diane_keaton - has left us. She was at once never of this world, floating above it, and yet grounded and down to earth and totally open to an overwhelmed fan girl who accosted her at the Getty and got some hugs in. Grateful for her deep and abiding influence on me, for the laughs and the lobsters, and the smile that lit up the screen and the room and our hearts. #rip ❤️🙏🏼💖

From the first time I saw The Wizard of Oz as a child, I’ve always dreamed of covering this song. My version of Over the Rainbow — on piano and vocals — is out today. Find it everywhere you get your music. The video is on YouTube.

I am honored and gratified to bring you this cover of one of (if not the) greatest songs of all time.

I appreciate you so much. Be well. And remember - dreams really do come true.

Love,
Sara 🥰🎶🌈💫
