“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.”
“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.”
““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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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 online music outlets.
