Sahara CyberStars 'Winds of Time' now on Amazing Radio!
““Winds of Time” by Sahara CyberStars is a rock ballad, timeless and eerily relevant. It’s a sweeping, soulful anthem wrapped in shimmering melodies, heartfelt vocals, and just the right amount of instrumental grandeur... Dave Long’s deep, rich vocals are the anchor here—thick with emotion, sincerity, and a quiet kind of wisdom... Trish Long, whose harmonies add a layer of softness and soulfulness... When the two come together in the bridge, it turns to one of those moments that practically begs you to sing along, arms raised, lost in the music...“Winds of Time” feels like a song that’s finally found its moment. Written before the world turned upside down, it now lands with even more impact, its lyrics hitting a little closer to home.”
‘Winds of Time’ by Sahara CyberStars is a Rock Track that Pulls
From the Familiarity of a Universal Theme 
“Its soundscape leads with warm guitars and percussion, with horns and flutes sprinkled in to harmonise with the melodies. This creating this mood that feel comforting and warm, while the lyrics on the fleeting nature of time...Particular highlights on the track are the flute melodies that harmonies with the vocal and the saxophone melodies that seem to expand and add more depth to the performance...The listeners are allowed in on the simple fact that time will change things, even when external forces attempt to “…pull our world asunder…”.
“It is not a hard hitting track boasting introspective intensity, instead this soft rock soundscape converses like a breeze, its melodies and lyrics caress the mind with its comforting advice...The singer’s passionate yet delicate, mature yet timeless vocals punctuate the music with meaningful, moving lyrics that tell you- time brings change, and change brings growth. Emotive backing vocals and harmonies enrich the soundscape, adding depth and dynamism, elevating the charm.”
“Overall, “Winds of Time” is a masterfully crafted rock ballad that blends musical sophistication with profound lyrical themes. Sahara CyberStars have delivered a song that is both a personal reflection and a broader commentary on humanity’s struggles and resilience. The combination of stirring vocals, intricate instrumentation, and high-quality production makes it a standout track that lingers in the mind long after it ends. It is a song that demands to be felt, not just heard, and one that cements the duo’s reputation as exceptional songwriters and musicians. For those looking for a track that is both emotionally compelling and musically rich, “Winds of Time” is an essential listen.”
“Dave Long leads the performance with his distinctive voice and a combination of electric and acoustic guitars, while Trish Long brings ethereal harmonies and a saxophone solo that gives the melody a nostalgic air... With phrases like “the power of greed came to plunder, pull our world asunder ”, the message is clear: history repeats itself, but hope is still alive. “Winds of Time ”, a good single to touch the souls of those who seek music with purpose.”
““Winds of Time.” The song feels more relevant now than ever...the song’s sweeping instrumentation, led by Dave Long’s soaring electric and acoustic guitars and Trish Long’s expressive saxophone and flute, creates a deeply immersive listening experience.The song builds from a tender, melodic opening into a powerful rock anthem... More than just a song, Winds of Time is a reflection of the past and a call to awareness of the present. Stream it now and experience its message for yourself.”
“Dramatic and capable of being even tearful... the harmony created by the vocalic union of the singers, gives Winds Of Time a nuance of hope and resilience that captures in full the sensoriality of the spectator.”
“The layered instrumentation, cinematic arrangement, and high emotional quotient make this track feel both deeply personal and universally relevant. From its opening notes, Winds of Time grips us, weaving an intricate musical tapestry that blends classic rock sensibilities with Eastern and symphonic elements.”
”A purposeful rock song that speaks to the audience and has a sound that connects us to our rock roots, brilliant, inspiring, full of quality, a song we love.”
Our song “Winds of Time” was written in more normal times (or so it seems right now!).This rock ballad was well received by our audiences at our shows but we had never sat down to record it. November 2024 we realised that it was a song that’s time had come. So we arranged and recorded “Winds of Time” leading up to Christmas. There is a story in this song and the lyrics are self explanatory. One quote is:
“the power of greed came to plunder,pull our world asunder”
If that sentiment resonates with you, you can now hear the full song which is available from #spotify, #applemusic, #youtubemusic, #deezer, #tidal, #amazonmusic
