As announced on Sarah's official sites, she has donated a previously unreleased song from her upcoming album in support of relief efforts in Japan.
"She has chosen a song called “New Pair of Eyes” which she describes as an “ode to the shocking wonder of existence”. Typically mundane… ;)
Yes – before the single is released, before a video is made, before the world gets to hear the entirety of her giant double-disc 18-song creation, get yourself a taste of the magnificent work to come and send your love to a part of the world that desperately needs it!"
Sarah's single is currently being sold in the final block of 20 songs for $20. It is also still being sold in the full 100 song list. The sale ends at 10am on Thursday so for those wanting to hear this song they must act fast.
The song appears to be from the "Land" album as it has a pop sound more kin to Sweet Ones, Out in the Park and Luck Me.
Land and Sea comes out on September 27th. The double album features 18 songs to which the following track titles are known:
- "New Pair of Eyes" - Released exclusively Song of Love for Japan
- "Set It Free" is the first single to be released May 2nd
- "The Day We Saved the World" played at the Canwest Music Festival and again at the holiday show.
- "Life" debuted live July 1st 2010 in Toronto
- "My Song" played live in 2005, released on the Beauty Lives bside album in 2010 and to be recorded on the "Sea" album.
