          Sarah Menescal is a rising star in the world of contemporary Bossa Nova. The artist began her singing career as a participant on the acclaimed Jazz and 90s where her take on the No Doubt hit Don't Speak set the bar for jazz versions. She soon realized that her true calling lay in the swinging beats of the Brazilian musical genre. Her first album released in 2014 found her applying bossa touches to a number of contemporary pop classics and the results were astounding. Sarah has since released two studio albums including 2016Çs Consequence of Love and plans to head out on tour for the first time. While she mainly works alone, Sarah can be found in the studio recording with James Farrelli , with whom she has worked on versions of Africa and Eye in the Sky.

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon

Is the only light we'll see

 

No, I won't be afraid

Oh, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand

Stand by me

 

So, darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand, stand by me

Stand by me

 

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountain

Should crumble to the sea

 

I won't cry, I won't cry

No, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand

Stand by me

 

And, darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Woah, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me

 

Darlin', darlin', stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Oh, stand now

Stand by me, stand by me

 

Whenever you're in trouble

Won't you stand by me

Oh, stand by me

Woah, stand now

Oh, stand by me.
