this is the best thing she's done yet, it does sound alot like Britney but Marinas own definate style well done. I really like the breath in the middle I hate having those breaths gated out:

 

I'm Electra, I'm Electra Heart
Only living, living in the dark
Lights they blind me.
Can we go back, go back to the stars?
Where the holy father made his mark?
Lights they blind me
Can we go back?
Lights they blind me

 

Blind me

Go Forward

reprogramme the start

There's nothing back there

The pain adjusts the light

to find the way out

His lights they blind me.

I dont want to go back

His mark redesigns me.

I cant go back

Cool!

Hey, Angela, sometimes now you're more on top of the latest Marina trivia than I am!

Yes and I still dont know that much about her or all her songs or some all the way through. The second  "verse" is not strictly a lyric and its not by Marina btw! Marina can use my lyrics for free though if she likes. But I'd rather wait to get them from her.

I did read that when she was at school studying she used to get up at 2am and study through to 7am. I like her work ethic, she is hardcore!  I would live to know more about her explaining how she sees music in colours, if she writes that way aswell. Perhaps these are the lights that blind her?

Indeed she is. She's been touring non-stop for the last year for this album. She's taken a lesson form the Tori Amos handbook on how to gain fame and fortune. But, in general, from what I've gathered, she's had inhuman drive to succeed in music since she was about 19.

She associates everything with colors, even days of the week. Each day has a different color for her. But she says that it's more of a feeling than an actual visual hallucination. I'm sure that her synesthesia must have something to do with her being so creative and prolific, though. E.g., she wrote and recorded 22 songs just for Electra Heart. Imagine Kate writing and recording 22 songs in one year! One can only dream. Though I guess Kate did stuff like that back when she was a teenager....

Yes she does have the drive to cope with such demands, some people are tailor made for such things in life, and their life has set them up for it since birth. The Tori Amos book I's steer clear of though unless she wants her career to take a nose dive into emo obscurity. Tori amos is way too old in her ideas and outlook shes old skool touring, reinvent yourself, get older, get worse as time goes on to gain fame and fortune.And too much can make an artist boring, and overstaturation. I hope Marina takes it slow (by her speed) but succeeds and improves. Her tatics are fine as they are, quite refreshing even that she doesnt seem to care, but obviously realises shes always been too old to be the next Britney spears overnight sensation, or Madonna. Those days are long gone with so much instant access to artists, they dont have the same suspense to feed off to make such megastars anymore, epspecially with X factor watering the mystique of it down. Up coming artists are thought of has power crazed, robots driven to succeed by numbers, thats what the publc expect from them aswell for their money and time. I'd think being a pop overnight sensation is not so much every young persons dream anymore and luckily the intternet has taken away those days of artists raking in the money from albums. Some perks of the job unfortunately have come full circle alot of greedy artists expect things wouldnt change though and dont know how to adapt to it, it iss fasciating to see them get angry, that they got sucked after their " career plan" is failing.

Well I associacte colours with lots of thing I wouldnt call myself synesthsic though. Colours like any other pattern or association you attach to something as a key or by a feeling I expect alot of people do but dont realise it. Colours can guide you through certain things for instance if you follow them like doorways in a maze and they make you feel a certian way.

Kate I assume has different work ethic and priorities at her age and career. Although 2 albums in one year, a new record label, and she sorted out her record deal and management from the start is a good place to be. No arguements over having to wear a wig and heart on her cheek there. No-one would even dream of asking such a thing of Kate the respect she gains. One thing that does set Marina out from the masses is she keeps closley in touch with her fans, (a tatic I hate to draw attention to, or the other similar all of a sudden sincere artists will do the same if they see its working) That I like alot.
