Great song, great album. With most albums, you have to go find the 2-3 songs that are good, tolerate or skip the 2-3 that are mediocre, and totally skip the 2-3 that suck. Not so with "When the Blackbird Sings", I usually listen it all the way through. Top notch album, I like them all.
Damn...they were so good. It is truly a crime that they never got the recognition that they so richly deserved. Sandi is the best Female Rock vocalist and Female front for a Hard Rock band I have ever heard.
This Lady is totally awesome. Great band. It has been so many years. Never got to see them, there was no articles about them. I was like wow what a kick ass. Band.
Just found out about this band and I grew up in the 80s. The 80s hair bands rocked and this band should of made it big Sandi is a awesome singer. The whole band is great!
that has to be the most 'fists clenched, wind in your hair while standing on a jagged rockface at dusk, staring out over the ocean' chorus of all time.
When you can't sleep at night I know you still want me So bring back the light From time to time Yes, the sky will seem the open up Ooh, and the rain falls down With the dreams that you've been hoping for And when it falls into your hands You gotta take that second chance There is no cause to be alarmed It's only love that's calling on you So bring back the light Bring back the light to me Without your love I'm alone in the dark Bring back the light to me Bring it back, yeah There's a broken window It's deep within my soul You give me shelter from the cold It's in your hands Only you can keep it all together now Right now, walk the winding road No, you don't have very far to go Oh, and when I'm reaching for your hand You gotta take that second chance There is no cause to be alarmed It's only love, it's only love Bring back the light Bring back the light to me Without your love I'm alone in the dark Bring back the light to me, oh... Oh, and when I'm reaching for your hand You gotta take that second chance There is no cause to be alarmed It's only love, it's only love Bring back the light Bring back the light to me Without your love I'm alone in the dark Bring back the light, I'll keep waiting 'Til you bring back the light Bring back the light to me Without your love I'm all alone Bring back the light Bring it back now Oh... Whoa, bring it back now Bring it back now
She's a pretty good hard rock singer, but calling her "best" is too. Sandi sounds a lot like Ann Boleyn of Hellion, (like on "Bad Attitude"). And to say Sandi is better than Lita Ford or Ann Wilson of Heart? Or Taylor Dane? Sandi's good, and also good looking in her prime, but let's leave it at that. And as a fan of multiple genres, Mariah Carey (particularly her first 3 albums) would blow them ALL away, as would Lisa Fischer who was (and still is) background for Rolling Stones (hear her sing the high notes in Gimmie Shelter) and also listen to "How Can I Ease The Pain". You know Lisa Fischer is good when Mariah (the Queen) even pays her respect. Lisa still has the chops as does Mariah. Sandi isn't in the game anymore and her last recording on youtube is pretty disappointing. Her last recording on youtube of her trying to cover Bon Jovi Livin' is pretty lackluster. I"m being objective here, as a fan of Saraya's music overall. They're a good band, but let's face reality: they're no Bon Jovi, they're no Dokken or Cinderella or Poison.
Sadly, agreed. Though, with the huge 80s revival going on now, they could get back together and tour, and would do well. I'd really miss Gregg, but he left the band after the second album was recorded. I respect Sandi's decision to leave the industry. But it sure would be nice to see her again, even if only for a few shows. I'd fly anywhere in the U.S. to see 'em perform.
@wingerdude76 Hey there,...do you have, or know someone who has "In the Shade of the Sun" to post here? I can only find audio. That and "New World", I don't see anywhere. As for the lyrics to "Shade..." , I can give you them if you want. :)

Never hear about them even in 80's. Surprise to hear so lot of gems in 2 albums
Tony Bruno is ripping on that lead guitar, Beautiful ~
Seriously one of my favorite guitar solos of all time at the end of the song
Emotionnal.
My favorite solo is in Fire to Burn
They were SOOOOOOOO amazing!!!!!!!
Sandi please "bring back" the magic of your voice singing to our hearts soon.
Just found out about this band and I grew up in the 80s. The 80s hair bands rocked and this band should of made it big Sandi is a awesome singer. The whole band is great!
I loved this band so much when they were out but no one else had heard of them. Still love them today. Glad you discovered them.
Love this fucking song. 'Blackbird' is one of my all-time favorite albums.
Love this song! Sandi
Delicious voice! 80s forever!
A song that is pretty cool.... I could listen to this song and feel the mello chillz….
Beautiful song and an amazing voice.. wish they made more music..

When you can't sleep at night
I know you still want me
So bring back the light
From time to time
Yes, the sky will seem the open up
Ooh, and the rain falls down
With the dreams that you've been hoping for
And when it falls into your hands
You gotta take that second chance
There is no cause to be alarmed
It's only love that's calling on you
So bring back the light
Bring back the light to me
Without your love I'm alone in the dark
Bring back the light to me
Bring it back, yeah
There's a broken window
It's deep within my soul
You give me shelter from the cold
It's in your hands
Only you can keep it all together now
Right now, walk the winding road
No, you don't have very far to go
Oh, and when I'm reaching for your hand
You gotta take that second chance
There is no cause to be alarmed
It's only love, it's only love
Bring back the light
Bring back the light to me
Without your love I'm alone in the dark
Bring back the light to me, oh...
Oh, and when I'm reaching for your hand
You gotta take that second chance
There is no cause to be alarmed
It's only love, it's only love
Bring back the light
Bring back the light to me
Without your love I'm alone in the dark
Bring back the light, I'll keep waiting
'Til you bring back the light
Bring back the light to me
Without your love I'm all alone
Bring back the light
Bring it back now
Oh...
Whoa, bring it back now
Bring it back now
Sandi!! we need more like you in today's world...
Me and a gal named April saw these guys, they were fantastically Great...
TRUE ARTISTS AT THEIR VERY BEST.
greatest female voice album ever
Bring Back The Light indeed! Sandi is currently working with Tony creating new music!!!!!!!!
Holy bullfrog.
The intro sounds a bit of a tip of the hat to Livin' On A Prayer
Bring Back The Light,,,Too Me
u dnt hear music lyk this anymore
mbravo panoooooooo
post the lyrics to Saraya,In The Shade Of The Sun
Sandi Saraya best female singer ever
completely agree!!

this band was born 5 years too late
