  • "Murder in Mairyland Park" (a Stina Nordenstam cover) is incredibly haunting. It starts off with creepy synths and the sound of distant traffic. Sarah sings in a childlike voice, describing a murder while accompanying herself on the piano. Then an eerie Latin chorus comes in chanting the Agnus Dei.
  • There's the music video for her "How Can Heaven Love Me" duet with Chris Thompson. Sarah herself has said that there is "a lot of rage" in it, with scenes of her being imprisoned, handcuffed together with Chris, hanging onto a tree in a fierce windstorm, and struggling while tied to a chair. It culminates with a frenzied series of clips from the 1940s and 1950s, portraying scenes of Stalin's USSR and the Cold War terror.
  • The "Red Riding Hood Rap" from the Symphony World Tour, which also qualifies as a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment. Sarah, dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, is on a bicycle being pursued by holographic wolves that are also on bicycles. The song has a very unsettling and surreal tone to it, with her repeating over and over "It's all in my mind."
