MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

I don't know if you could guess that the name of my blog is called after Marina and the Diamonds. The first time I ever heard of her was in 2009 with 'Hollywood'. The song was a little bit to much for me, especially the music video. I thought Marina was an another bimbo, pop singer and didn't paid much attention to her. My friend N. was in love with the song and at one point I also was addicted. I decided to search the lyrics and was amazed by the content of ´Hollywood´. I discovered more songs and found out that all her songs had a message. Now in 2011 I still listen to her songs and her new album is just out. I will always have a weak spot for her.

Here are some Marina quotes from her songs:

'' Puking American dreams, I'm obsessed...''

''I feel numb most of the time''

''Do I need to lie to make my way in life?''

''I lived allot if different lives, been different people many times''

''We've all got our obsessions''

''Better to be hated then to be loved for what you're not''

''Hollywood infected your brain''

''There's no crime in being kind, not everyone is out to screw you over''

''Are you satisfied with an avarage life''

''I never say a word in case I come off neady''

' I got dark only to shine''

''Don't need money don't need fame, I just wanna make a change''

'' The sleep is not my friend''

''Champagne, savor the taste of fabricated wealth''

'' Your possessions will posses you. Tv taught us how to feel now real life has no appeal''
