Watching the faded smiles
See these actors walking asleep
Like lifeboats stranded on the ocean
Floating alone

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Searching these darkened streets
For some trace of meaning
Lifeboats on the ocean
Tracing footsteps back home

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

“Sarah” repaints serotonin as “the one that got away” in an upbeat pop funk love song devoted to that most coveted of neurotransmitters. Bowie meets Bruno Mars in Jack’s sultry yet speedy vocals on a head nodding bed of Nile Rodgers and Jamiroquai style grooves.

Sarah is the first single from an EP recorded with Gormie (Angie McMahon, Julia Jacklin) at Treehouse Studios, Victoria.

Reframing mental health as a lover that was taken for granted, the song recounts those substance-fuelled feel-good moments you had together, through a lens of nostalgia and a tinge of regret.
