Sara by Kenzo Cregan

"It all started with a riff and a drum beat that immediately transported you to the summertime beaches of Southern California. The next step was telling the story. Deciding whether to talk about the summertime, or think a little bit more outside the box. We decided to go with the latter. My producer and co-writer Mike Pappas and I thought it’d be a good idea to think about a past crush from our childhoods, channeling that feeling of what it meant to have them in your life. With this concept in mind, we kept the story a bit more open ended, expressing the idea of having that someone in your life, that you truly couldn’t live without. Sara doesn’t have to necessarily be a lover, but a friend, a family member, or even a person you hope to cross paths with before the end. It’s supposed to be an uplifting feeling. Because even though it’s difficult to deal with the idea of not having that person, the journey of finding them is meant to be a joyous one. Throw in some driving rhythm guitars and a bass to back this all up, and all to a sudden, “Sara” was born!"
