Sandi Siegel Announces the Music Video Launch of “Your Quest”
BOULDER, CO - SANDI SIEGEL is excited to announce the launch of “Your Quest” on International Women's Day, March 8th, 2019.
Like many of Sandi Siegel's songs, the lyrics were inspired by a dream she had of women in turn of the century clothing rising out of the water in front of her and handing her a gold watch. No words were spoken, but the meaning was felt. They wanted her to give the watch to her daughter and give her the message that the fight, their fight, for women's equality must be carried on.
"This dream really stuck with me, and for a long time I couldn't get it out of my head until I wrote a song about it," said Sandi Siegel. "It was just such a powerful dream, with a powerful message that is important to remember. Women have been fighting for equal rights for centuries, and even with all the progress made the last 150 years there is still much for our generation, and future generations, to accomplish."
The video pivots between depictions of the dream sequence (represented by the women on the lake) and footage from both far past and present of women taking up the cause for women's rights. "There is a surprising amount of archival footage available from women's suffrage and the WWII era," said video editor Dave Siegel. "It was impossible to put everything in and we had to make some tough choices on what supported the story the best."
Lyrics snippet from "Your Quest"
"Oh rise up and ask
We are up to the task
Our daughter hold watch
And keep space.
Oh rise up and ask
All your pain in the past
Be now laid to rest
We’ll carry on your quest."
Your Quest was released on Dizzying Rain in July of 2018 and is available everywhere that music is sold digitally and streamed. Her music most reminds listeners of Tori Amos (one of Sandi’s influences), Sarah McLachlan, Joni Mitchell, and Enya and is sometimes described as a cross between Tori Amos and James Taylor.
The video is available publicly on Youtube, Vimeo and facebook as of today. Watch on Youtube here https://youtu.be/Hko6shB-U6M.

ABOUT SANDI SIEGEL
Sandi Siegel blends her love of guitar and piano with meaningful lyrics that tell stories of archetypal human experiences. While her most loved bands come from the Prog-Rock era, her song writing takes influences from folk, blues and what she has called “melancholy contemporary”. After many years as a student and teacher of Vedic chant and yoga music, she expands her repertoire in an eclectic collection on the upcoming sophomore CD “Dizzying Rain” where poetry and philosophy from studies in Hindu mythology and Native American dream work are woven into to haunting melodies. Love songs and stories from daily life come to life as well.
“Dizzying Rain,” the first of her albums in her latest style, will be followed in 2019 by an album of Vedic chant inspired by years of studies in Hindu mythology and its application to our lives today. Between playing out around the western US, you may find her teaching yoga teacher training's in Breckenridge and on the fashion runway in Denver and beyond. Sandi’s love of fashion has been a lifelong passion. She most recently has been loving her work in the Denver fashion world and hopes to keep showing the world that we can be full of grace as we age and that the world is in need of communities of all ages and diversity coming together to create and inspire one another.
