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.

Are you sure about "Land" being the song she performed on Canada Day? Where did that song title come from? I don't remember her mentioning one. The only lyric I can recall from the song (it was tough to make out) is the line "fire of life" repeated in the chorus. It doesn't help that my memory has convinced itself that it's the same song as "The Day We Saved The World."
Sean great catch. I believe the new song on Canada Day was titled Life. That's how it was noted on her set for the show visible in this pic ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/peppermonkey/4766267982/sizes/o/in/photostream/ ).
I can't recall the words of The Day We Saved the World but I will check to see if they match up with my notes on "Life" to see if it's the same song. I'm pretty sure they are distinct tracks.

Ah ok... the more I think about it I'm able to recall the differences between "Life" and "The Day We Saved The World." I guess I was just confused about the title "Land." "Life" makes much more sense.
