House on the Sand

Verse 1
You are not the only one
Whose heart has come undone
Like a raisin in the sun

No you are not the only soul
Who had to pay the toll
To wander down a lonely road

Verse 2
No you are not the only guy
For whom I would have tried
To steal the colors of the sky

Oh you are not the only man
With whom I took a chance
To build a house on the sand

Bridge
And though I know you're no good for me
Still a part of me believes
That we will have a house by the sea
And nothing on land will ever make you leave

Chorus
And I want you to know
That if I let you go
It's cause I still love you, love you, love you

So don't let me go
I just want to know
If you still love me, love me, love me

Verse 3
You are not the only one
Whose love could leave me stunned
Like a thousand splendid suns

And you felt like an old friend
Our time was all but spent
With each other til the end

Verse 4
And you held me in your arms
Yet you did more harm
Leaving me with empty charm

You said you could not stay
You had to find your way
You told me not to wait

Bridge
And though I know you're no good for me
Still a part of me believes
That we will have a house by the sea
And nothing on land will ever make you leave

Chorus
And I want you to know
That if I let you go
It's cause I still love you, love you, love you

So don't let me go
I just want to know
If you still love me, love me, love me

Artist Biography

Sarah Ho is a Taiwanese American singer songwriter and actress who lives to tell meaningful stories. She has guest-starred and co-starred on shows such as “Murder in the First” and “Switched at Birth.” A classically trained violinist and pianist, she has been writing instrumental and lyrical music since she was a teenager. She dreams of having her songs placed in films and television shows. Her style can be best described as "piano driven pop," and influences include Sara Bareilles, Carole King, and Wang Li Hom. With soft vocals, poetic lyrics, and complex harmonies, she writes about personal experiences in love, loss and environmentalism. She also enjoys writing musical comedy, and songs in this genre range from guitar rock to sassy ukulele pop.

Music is a central part of Sarah's life; she is a certified violin teacher with the Suzuki Association of the Americas, and maintains a full roster of 15+ students in West Los Angeles. Sarah is also the founder of the community service a cappella group "YOUTHphonics at UCLA," a group dedicated to bringing free music education to underserved areas in Los Angeles.

While Sarah plans on pursuing acting and songwriting for the rest of her life, she is also cultivating a professional career as a pediatric nurse. She has always loved taking care of others and working with children. Sarah is currently enrolled in the masters entry nursing program at UCLA, and will be graduating in 2021 with an MSN and RN license.

Artist Statement

With my music, I hope to help people feel a little less alone, especially in their pain and struggle. While some of my music is deep and heartfelt, I also love making musical comedy. Sometimes my comedic songs address serious topics such as heartbreak, but other times, they are just plain goofy. As a woman in my early 30s, many of my songs are about love, loss, the single woman's journey.

Saving the earth is also a passion of mine. I hope to inspire both children and adults towards being environmentally conscious with fun, catchy tunes that can be sung at school or at home. On my YouTube channel, you can find my original, "I'm A Girl Who Has A Dream," which was written for the purpose of reminding kids to be socially and environmentally friendly.
