Music Review:

“Μετά την ιδιαίτερη και όμορφη εισαγωγή η μελωδία εισβάλει μέσα μας με το δυναμικό και επιθετικό χαρακτήρα της και ηλεκτρίζει την ατμόσφαιρα επικίνδυνα. Τα φωνητικά δεν σταματούν να μας ξεσηκώνουν και να μας φορτίζουν συναισθηματικά με το πάθος και την πληθωρική έκφραση τους. Ο απίστευτος ροκ ρυθμός κάνει την καρδιά μας να χτυπά δυνατά και μας πηγαίνει ένα ατελείωτα συναρπαστικό ταξίδι.”

Lyrics of Alex Sandra – Barbie Girl

They tell me what to think, tell me how to act, tell me how to dress like I don’t know how, yeah
Cause everybody’s mad, everybody talking smack with their voice just a little too loud
With a Nose too big, my hair too black,
With an ass too thick, but now they all want that?
I was drowning in the bleach, tryna play it cool, doing what i do, like I’ve got something to prove them

I thought it would be easy(Courtney:harmony)
slowly going crazy

I’m done
Tryna fit the mold and be someone I’m not
Fuck that
I’m not the typical Barbie girl you want
Don’t care
I never needed it all
Fuck that
I’m not the typical Barbie girl you want

They never get tired of reminding me
I don’t belong, and I’m not where I’m suposed’ to be
Yeah, Tried to get rid of my roots, blend in
so much that I almost got rid of me

I thought it would be easy
slowly going crazy

I’m done
Tryna fit the mold and be someone I’m not
Fuck that
I’m not the typical Barbie girl you want
Don’t care
I never needed it all
Fuck that
I’m not the typical Barbie girl you want

Voices in my head, voices in my head(Courtney :whisper with her..add lyrics behind)

You think you grew up, but you’re nothing
Acting like you’re the shit, you’re disgusting
So convinced, what you say is worth something
Better hide, yeah you better start running

I’m done
Tryna fit the mold and be someone I’m not
Fuck that
I’m not the typical Barbie girl you want
Don’t care
I never needed it all
yeah Fuck that
I’m not the typical Barbie girl you want

Marionette – Ava Della Pietra

Categories: Audio, Pop, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Adult Contemporary, Alt Pop, Ava Della Pietra, Commercial, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Pop by Nagamag, United States|

“Τα επιβλητικά φωνητικά με την νεραϊδίσια χροιά τους, που δεν κρύβουν την δυναμική τους, είναι πραγματική απόλαυση να τα ακούς. Η έκταση τους είναι απίστευτη ,ενώ οι εναλλαγές τους σε κρατούν πάντα σε εγρήγορση. Η ζωντάνια της μελωδίας και το παιχνίδισμα της δημιουργεί ένα ευχάριστο συναίσθημα που μας ενθουσιάζει.”

Lyrics of Ava Della Pietra – Marionette

hold me like you own me
maybe now you do
touch me like you love me
make me think it’s true

my strings are frayed, dear puppeteer
have mercy, let me disappear
you whisper softly in my ear
i need you near

can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
and you’re holding my thread
like a marionette

can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
from the moment we met
been your marionette

like a marionette
(ha ha ha ha ha ha)

only
when you’re lonely
i’m your saving grace
your angel
and it’s painful
trapped in your embrace

you keep my face wrapped in your hands
spin me around ‘til i can’t stand
your voice will echo in my mind
‘til the end of time

can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
and you’re holding my thread
like a marionette

can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
from the moment we met
been your marionette

swear i’m stronger than this
but you’re so damn hard to resist
and i know you didn’t mean
to say you love me

you’re controlling me so easily
(so easily)
controlling me so easily

can’t help it, you’re controlling me
and you’re holding my thread
like a marionette

oh controlling me so easily
from the moment we met
been your marionette

(ha ha ha ha ha ha)

“Η όμορφη και γλυκιά μελωδία ζεσταίνει την ψυχή μας και η νοσταλγική της διάθεση μας φέρνει εικόνες τους παρελθόντος. Τα μοναδικά φωνητικά με την λεπτή και νεραϊδίσια χροιά τους είναι πραγματική απόλαυση να τα ακούς αναστατώνοντάς τα συναισθήματα σου. Το πάθος και η ειλικρίνεια τους αγγίζει την καρδιά μας. Ο ρυθμός ήρεμα μας μεταφέρει μέσα σε μια ατμόσφαιρα μαγική.”

Lyrics of Mia Baron – Love You Blindly

I found a box of things I left under my bed
maybe should have thrown it out instead
cause I can’t take the memories

I found the necklace that I got when I was 12
now all that’s left of you is on the shelf
it feels like a part of me is wrapped up in history

I know I’ve been walking slowly on a tightrope
Kinda wish you noticed but you don’t, no
following you closely like a shadow
losing sight of you

I’ll love you blindly
hold you tightly
promise I won’t let go lightly
I know that I want you to myself
so please don’t, please don’t, be in love with someone else

I tried taping up the corners of our past life
but somehow it just never really felt right
there’s a world where you and I collide

I know I’ve been walking slowly on a tightrope
Kinda wish you noticed but you don’t, no
following you closely like a shadow
losing sight of you

I’ll love you blindly
hold you tightly
promise I won’t let go lightly
I know that I want you to myself
so please don’t, please don’t, be in love with someone else

I know I’ve been walking slowly on a tightrope
Kinda wish you noticed but you don’t, no
following you closely like a shadow

ill love you blindly
hold you tightly
promise I won’t let go lightly
I know that I want you to myself
so please don’t, please don’t, be in love with someone else

so please don’t, please don’t, be in love with someone else

Lyrics of REAVEN – Something To Remember

So many nights
You feel so lonely in the dark
Feel like you’re wastin’ all your time
But it’s gonna be fine
You gotta fight
‘Cause your future needs a place
Somewhere your freedom could be safe,
Oh you should try
‘Cause no one will help you, gotta do it yourself
That’s how we play the game
Now I’m gonna say to myself

I got something to remember, to live my life
Maybe it is now or never, I got one shot
I got something to remember, to live my life
Maybe it is now or never, I got one shot
Gonna give it all my fire, and make it right
I got something to remember, to live my life

Sorry, goodbye
To the one I used to be
When I was scared of everything
This one is gone now
It’s not my fate
To be the one we leave behind
To be so blind that I can’t follow my own way
‘Cause no one will help you, gotta do it yourself
That’s how we play the game
Now I’m gonna say to myself

I got something to remember, to live my life
Maybe it is now or never, I got one shot
Gonna give it all my fire, and make it right
I got something to remember, to live my life

Don’t be so rational
Forget the world around you
You’re so predictable
So try a different option would you
Don’t be so sceptical
It’s time to find your inner light
Light
You’re unbelievable
But you just didn’t notice
That’s why you gotta keep in mind

I got something to remember
Maybe it is now or never
Gonna give it all my fire
‘Cause I got something to remember, to live my
I got something to remember, to live my life
Maybe it is now or never, I got one shot
Gonna give it all my fire, and make it right
I got something to remember, to live my life
I got something to remember
To live my life
Maybe it is now or never
I got one shot
Gonna set my world on fire
And make it right
‘Cause I got something to remember
To live my life
