IN SANCTUARY • May I leave any old I know, behind.
For a few years now, folks have been asking if I have any music to listen to. The answer is yes…ish! There are loads of sprinkles everywhere (mainly Instagram & Youtube), but you’ve gotta scroll to find the gems. And while there is an album in the works with my good friend Parker Horsch, it’s a methodically delicious, humbling, steadfast process. Don’t fret, you’ll know it’s close to going live once we announce our crowdfunding campaign!
So how do we listen? For now, the best bet is to check back here every once in a while as I gather as many breadcrumbs for goodness (aka: adult lullabies, chants, song fragments & drafts) and leave them here for all to hear. Scroll onward to listen!

feel, whatever you need to feel.feel the smile of the sun again,
on your face.

as it trickles down your face.heart ache love ache,
it's the same.

and come back home

and come back home.feel whatever you need
and come back home.

“THERE’S A LITTLE VIBRATION, COMING FROM MY HEART”
In 2016, in the early hours just beyond my birthday, I lost a good friend. The kind of friend who felt more like a sister. The kind of friend I figured would be around into our twilight years. The kind of friend who shook me up because she was radically honest with herself, as I was learning how to be with myself. Even though I was in my late 30s, her transition was the first time I truly mourned someone I had lost. In that moment, I experienced what it meant to be a light for others who had lost theirs.
In the next few years I witnessed two friends, mothers of teens, lose their first borns to cancer. And collectively, since 2020, we’ve all experienced deeper connections with grief.
Needless to say, grief is real, and we all need gentle reminders to “Come Back Home.” This TRANCE/mission was humbly inspired by these experiences, and the deep wisdom found in death-rebirth-release cycles.
“PAGES OF YOUR BOOK”
-
although I cannot claim to know / all pages of your book
from what i know and have surmised / from mine i realize
our lives do overlap in ways / we never can predict
to trivialize the who’s and what’s / the where’s and how’s and why’s
resist it is for all the best / and learn to let it go
such simple words / but do not dare / to take them for their worthfor deep the dive is any treasure / if we do seek to find
unknowns will pop up everywhere / to test your rhythm and rhymeyou’re not alone / we’re here with you / with open loving arms
go start it now / for it will take / lifetimes to figure out….— sarah paz hyde

LIFE IS A MASH-UP. TWO SNIPPETS NOW TIMED.
#1 VISUALS | The Philippines, 2017
There were many places we went this trip, my mother, auntie, and I. During the last stretch of our travels we toured the country like "real filipinos". . .in a 14 passenger van, maxed out in every way. Near the end of this stretch, we stopped just on the other side of the bridge over this depressed waterway. It was windy, and the tall grasses beckoned my eyes and ears; the gift of time to be mesmerized.
#2 AUDIO | A Cappella, 05.02.18, “A Lullaby to Keep Me Honest”
Words (songs) come to me when I’m near water. Sometimes it’s a beautiful waterfall…sometimes it’s a bathroom, after a shower. . . Water moves me, clears me, and I'm happy to share these two pieces. A sweet, soft, lullaby, spoken word type thing. Reminders if you will.
