Embrace the Soulful Echoes from SAID SARA’s Latest Single ‘Then There You Are’, a Pure Homage to Timeless Bonds

In the rolling mists of San Francisco’s peaks, a new sound emerges, blending tales of old with the modern rhythm of city life. David Benson, known in the eclectic echelons of SF’s music scene as SAID SARA, offers a deep dive into emotional authenticity with his latest single, “Then There You Are”.

Drawing from his diverse experiences as both a death metal drummer and a special education teacher, Benson infuses his acoustic and folk rock tracks with both passion and nuance.

“Then There You Are”, born in the bustling avenues of cultural fusion and honed in The Guest Room and Yosemite Studios, boasts the meticulous craftsmanship of an artist wholly dedicated to his cause.

Benson’s voice operates as a conduit for connection, a point made evident when he describes his work as “emphatic but affectionate”, a bridge between us and the spiritual presence of those dear to us who have passed on − ensuring they’re “listening in” even if unseen.

The intricate layers of “Then There You Are” form not just a song but a “nagging, psychic melodic concept,” a triptych of inspiration ranging from John Cougar’s guitar twangs to an iconic ’80s jingle. These fragments culminate in a sound both relaxing and spirited, an alt-folk anthem for the modern ear.

As a GetMusic.News’s music curator, I find SAID SARA’s ability to spin diverse threads into a cohesive and disfranch aiming harmony is nothing short of alchemical. Through “Then There You Are,” Benson proves himself not only a versatile musician but also a guardian of the soul’s whispers across the veil.

Each listen is a journey through folk rock storyscapes lined with the wisdom of US Culture, a reminiscence of the 90’s rock heritage with a renewed spirit.

Why keep this auditory treasure all to yourself? Extend your musical horizons and join a community of keen ears and hearts by exploring SAID SARA across all platforms.

Revitalize your playlists and feel the pulse of his acoustic rock transcendences on Spotify, step into the vivid snapshots of his world on Instagram, follow the artist’s updates on his Website, and Facebook, and engage with his thriving community on TikTok, BandCamp, SoundCloud, and YouTube.
