Still one of the most heart-wrenching and haunting songs I've ever heard, and it still rocks me to my core over a decade later. Having attended countless music festivals over the years - including Livid (though not quite old enough for Livid 1997) - I can't help but wonder how many stories like this have happened and we just never heard about them. Kate, your music is on another level and we wouldn't want it any other way.

Such an intense song. I love it so much, as horrific as it was, im just glad Sarah survived

made me cry.... :'( when I was 10 I had a friend, her name was rachelle, one rainy afternoon her dad wasn't at the school to take her home, my mum offered her a ride but rachelle wanted to wait, so we left. That night we Got the call. Rachelle was missing. She had been taken from a local bus stop where she went to get a bus home..... a week later rachelle's body was found in a ditch at the park, she was bloody & bruised, her long brown hair cut to a rough bob, but most horrific, she was naked.

I cried. This song is from the heart and I love her for it. I never thought I would like high pitched singing but Kate is amazing. At once, we have a song from the soul

This is one of my favourite songs. It has a compelling story and wonderful lyrics. I wish songs like this was on more mainstream radio stations instead of the crap that usally is. This song is beautiful and I have it on a constant repeat.

Oh man, I had goosebumps the whole way through this. Powerful gorgeous song

...this song is art

I havent had a song move me like this in a long time. This song stirs so many emotions while listening to it.

3:31 holy crap.. that note... i got goosebumps! I really want to know what happened to Sarah... O.o Such a powerful and haunting song.....

It's one of the most amazing songs I've heard in my entire life. I remember when I discovered it back in 2013, for a few days I just could't stop listening to it, I couldn't sleep, I played it over and over again and stayed up until mornings. And the video was hypnotising too! You just stare and can't take your eyes off this road. A few years later I met Kate before her show in Vienna and asked for this song. She sung it especially for me and thanked me for coming (I travelled from abroad). All people were looking at me and I was so shocked and happy. I'll never forget it!

Holy shit, incredible song. I had goosebumps the whole time. It sounds like this must feel. What a gift, to be able to make such powerful music.

Your very gifted Kate, your story telling through lyrics are so strong and powerful, especailly in this song, and your voice and pitching only adds to the drama and powerful emotions of the song..

Her voice, omg.

She has a great voice

i cant get enough of this woman ..... truly amazing...

It is absolutely amazing how Kate can sing from anyone's point of view :D

I just came back from Kate Miller-Heidke show, she is so amazing!! I have a photo with her and an autograph. She is so amazing and does so much original stuff while performing. this is one of my favourite songs! she sounds so much better live!!

This is so beautiful and moving. I can't stop listening to it.

Every time i hear this song, i get haunted and scared. And cry a little! Bravo!!!

This song is so haunting... I love it!!

A friend messaged me the link to this last night. Beautiful and deeply unsettling!

Beautiful Song. can't imagine what it would feel like to be Sarah or her friend. Kate is an amazing singer

This is so hauntingly beautiful

First song I have heard from this amazingly talented woman. Wow! I think i'm hooked, this song is creepy and awesome and moving...and damn powerful!

Beautiful, Kate doesn't often sing about topics like this, being so obviously personal, usually she masks it with humour... Thank you Kate, for opening up to the world through your music.

I can't get enough of this song!!! it simply gives me chills everytime i hear this song!

Saw Kate perform this song last night at a festival! haven't stopped listening to this song since

This song gives me chills. Its quite haunting in a beautiful kind of way

I was mesmerized by the simplicity of this video. Kate is effing incredible!

I'll admit it; I cried. It's a hauntingly beautiful song

I love this song. It just gives an amazing tone, the suspense. I love that it is based on a true story. Just so amazing. Love Kate Miller Heidke

This is the song that caught my attention to an artist I now adore.

This is a very beautiful song, and very haunting.

amazing song, first heard it live but it still sends shivers down my spine and it's a true story she said it whilst performing :/

This song is beautiful.

Goosebumps. Magnificent.

Such a powerful song

She's singing it about a friend who went through it. the song is sung from the eyes of her friend. Kate says the story is mostly true. They really did find her, and she couldn't remember what happened. and the friend never found out if Sarah remembered what happened or not because Sarah's parents blamed her for what happened as they were underage.

Someone needs a violin version of this

Oh my god!! I just came back from her concert and she was SO GOOD! I loved this song and seeing her sing it live was amazing! :) and yes this is a true story so so sad!!

This song gives me goosebumps every. single. time.

This song has so many real emotion's in the lyrics for me for my own beautiful Sarah, now in gods hand's.

Was expecting something or someone to jump out and scare me out of the cubby house at the end or something lol

So glad Sarah came back alive...I was expecting the worst.

This is the most beautifully haunting song I've heard in many many years. I can't wait til August at the Hi Fi Bar in Brisbane to see you perform it live with a full band.

POP Master piece. I love it. Thanks!

I like good music like everyone, but when I saw this on sunrise yesterday...I was so surprised that someone on the Earth can sing like that. I cried, I screamed but in silent ....I like Loreena Mckennitt but Kate and her song Sarah ....NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD!!!!!!!THE VOICE, MUSIC... REAL ANGEL...MUSE...

Incredible voice, so very unique amongst all of the average singers around these days.

It's so good. Especially the chorus - amazing. And the 'I don't know... I don't know" Wow. Also, I'm happy that it has no dislikes :) but that'll probably change because of this.

my favorite song, it has so much meaning in it

wow...... Im supporting her next week in Townsville......OMG shes amazing...cant wait....

And this is why everyone under the age of 18 at festivals in qld now have to be accompanied by an adult

this gives me shivers

i heard this song for the first time when i was in a flight, and i really loved it!

I'm right here... new favourite song.

Ooh this song gives me chills every time I hear it ^_^

Got to be one of my favourite songs of all time! Love it so much. Masterpiece

This song is so powerful I cried.

wow! i just can't wait.

Wow Kate, thanks for letting us in. This song made me so sad. What a thing to go through :(

Unreal. 3rd track I've heard from the new album, and it's all very very good. Bring it on!!!

i heard this live last night - amazing amazing song

Frightening. Confused. Centred. Very well done.

WOW! I was wondering if this was indeed based on a true story. Very detailed and very cool song! Kate's voice has never sounded better - she matched the emotions in the story with every inflection, scream and howl... This song gives me chicken skin.... what a strange, but wonderful story... LOVE IT!

Amazing! Heard this long live a while back... it's incredible.

this woman could sing the contents of the dictionary and it would still sound amazing

I ve been listening this song 2 last months. I trust it.

I have a serious case of the chills. Covered in goosebumps. I can't wait for the album!

this is so chilling. such an amazing song

Had this song stuck in my head all day and lyrics searches were next to useless finding it.

Absolutely beautiful!

What a powerful and scary song! :o

Just so beautifully scary and haunting - a song you want to sing from the depths of your soul and wouldn't want to happen, ever

This song makes me cry every time I here it

What a beautiful song!

Such a poignant song. I saw you perform this song recently at Heart in Margaret River ❤❤

OMG OMG OMG, this was amzing at Toowoomba when I videoed it & now it's a zillion times better. Awesome drums Mr Pope. 4 sleeps till I hear it LIVE agin.

For some reason, I feel it's worse that she came back not remembering 2 weeks of her life.

I love this song, I've listened to it since i was young, It's so sad when you listen to it in detail though

Just checked it out and yeah Ben Folds def played in 1997 at Livid.

I am not ashamed to say that I cried a lot during the course of this.

you uploaded this on my birthday. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!!!!!!!

amazing

Haunting.

This song reminds me of the final pictures of people that just disappear after they were taken. Chilling.

... I showed my best friend, Sarah, this song. :3 It's her fav song now.

Am I the only one who searched for all the answers on Sarah's story online?

cant wait! KMH is my fave oz artist!

I LOVE KMH! Cant wait until April 13th!

this video is magic kate!

Have you ever been to a music festival? Getting separated is so easy. I think it is about feeling responsible, not actually being responsible.

That is some heavy reality shit there. So impacting and scary for missing friends

This is the only song I've ever heard of Kate Miller-Heidke. That's why I was so surprised today when I learned that she will represent Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest!

Amazing track Kate. Looking forward to the release of the new album.

This song makes my hair stand on end.

happy birthday

Brillant :)

A friend told Kate the story of Sarah at a sleepover and apart from what's in the song that's all I know. I had a chance to meat her once and ask the question but got nervous....buggerit.

I heard this song during a performance at my university (Contemporary Students) and it haunted me the whole day, and after I listened to the official version I had a nightmare.

i didn't think to hesitate, watch this music clip, if i prevented another "sarah", then i am grateful for watching this only hours before hand, life shows us glimpses of connection from time to time, you just need to open your eyes and connect the dots, only after i dropped the 3 girls off did i manage to contact my sister.........
