Sarah Joyce (born 3 June 1979), better known by her stage name, Rumer, is a Pakistani-born British singer–songwriter. Her stage name was inspired by the author Rumer Godden. Rumer's voice has been described by The Guardian and many others as being reminiscent of Karen Carpenter. Supported by leading music industry figures including Burt Bacharach, Jools Holland and Elton John, Rumer was nominated for two Brit awards on 13 January 2011. She has performed at several festivals such as Glastonbury Festival.
Rumer was born Sarah Joyce on 3 June 1979 in Islamabad, Pakistan, the youngest of seven children. Her mother's husband was a British engineer working on the Tarbela Dam project and the family lived in a self-contained expatriate community near Islamabad. Sarah's mother had a relationship with her cook, who was Pakistani and is Sarah's biological father. None of Sarah's six siblings knew she had a different father and she did not discover this until the age of 11, when her parents divorced and the family returned to England. Sarah attended Newman School in Carlisle until she was 16, then studied drama at Dartington College of Arts in Devon before moving to London. She tried her hand in bands and waitressing.
It could be the first day,
When dreams are once again, the things that I would have to say,
And with my next haze
I'll learn the secrets of the games I've often had to play
And when I've finally settled down
To where my spirit can be found
I will call on all my friends
To say I've finally seen the end
It could be the last day
To give in all the places where I've often longed to stay
It could be the last way
To live among the things that I've often talked away
And when I've finally realised
Try my new day on for size
I will call on all my friends
To say I've finally seen my eyes
It could be the first day
Could could be the last day
It could be the first day
