NUMB - Marina and the Diamonds

One track mind like a gold fish

Stuck inside my petri dish

I can't breath and I can't smile

This better be worth my while

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

Looking for the golden light

Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice

Burn, burn, burn bright

Forgo family, forgo friends

It's how it started, how it ends

I can open up and cry

Coz I've been sobbing all my life

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

Looking for the golden light

Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice

Burn, burn, burn bright

Oh, I get dark oh and I'm in hell

I need a friend, oh but I can't yell

Yeah, I'm no good, no good to anyone

Coz all I care about is being number one

Shine, looking for the golden light

Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice

Shine, looking for the golden light

Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice (sacrifice)

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

And I light up the sky

Stars that burn the brightest

Fall so fast and pass you by

Cough like empty lighters

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I get dark only to shine

And I light up the sky

Stars that burn the brightest

Fall so fast and pass you by

Spark like empty lighters

late New Years resolutions

Ooook my resolution for 2012 is to not leave people soo in the dark with whats going on with me and my career. I think it gives the wrong impression.

Its still January, its not too late to put that out there is it?

sometimes I feel over exposed and under developed. And in the meantime you miss some of my performances and don't have my music in your playlist. Wheres the album SHAQ?

Well I'm currently writing and pooling all the human resources and otherwise necessary to launch my first official release. This sounds strange to me because this would be maybe my fourth album, but my adventure continues. Lets keep in touch.

Streets Is Hot rehearsal at Music House with Emily Elliott & Vernon Dacosta

As Streets is Hot has evolved on stage to as much as a 7 piece monster inclusive of cello, saxophone, and a drum section, I think of the guitar melody I hummed for Vernon so long ago that started it. I can still hear some violins in there somewhere, but this beast is about to get out of control. So today I'm stripping it down to the basics in a view to arranging it finally to be recorded.

The last addition to my overall sound has been the cello and I've been feeling for it for quite some time. However the first few performances with Emi-Cello I felt the plucking getting drowned out and I don't feel like people been feeling that cello belly how I need. So yeah, basics! This is me listening to Cello and guitar interacting on the song together. I know what the drums and other percussion does - some serious drama. Had a few performances with Kamlah Hamilton on keys and shes the genius that helps me mix all the other ingredients together and ices that cake. Ahh, so we making music
