Said Sara’s “Then There You Are” Shines Bright

Said Sara’s latest single, “Then There You Are,” which is the product of David Benson’s artistic expression under the moniker Said Sara, made a significant impact in 2023 with live performances in four countries. The song reflects Benson’s personal and musical growth, showcasing a blend of his diverse musical influences and life experiences.

Growing up in the 70s, Benson was influenced by the poetic melodies of artists like Stevens, Croce, and Taylor and the aggressive rhythms of metal and punk, genres he has passionately embraced since his youth. This duality is evident in Said Sara’s music, creating a nostalgic yet contemporary sound.

“Then There You Are” is a bold and emotional creation, reflecting Benson’s innermost thoughts and feelings. The track is driven by the acoustic guitar, complemented by Benson’s haunting and sincere vocals, guiding the listener through introspection and discovery.

Benson’s ability to transform his past experiences into something innovative is a testament to his art. With “Then There You Are,” he encourages the audience to ponder, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of personal realizations. This song doesn’t merely play – it resonates, echoing the timeless journey of self-discovery amid life’s turmoil.

As Benson concurrently works on an album with his death metal band Acephalix, it’s clear that “Then There You Are” is a promising preview of the musical brilliance to come. Operating from the heart of San Francisco, where Benson also works as a special education teacher, Said Sara’s music continues to inspire and captivate, transcending conventional boundaries of artistry.
