Mariella



okay.
not really sure how many of you have heard this song? but maybe some of you have heard the song.

anyway, i have to say, honestly, Kate Nash is probably a rose among the thorns. i have never heard of her, i have never seen her before in any articles not even Rolling Stone magazine(maybe only recently) before her song, Foundations. but, she's really good in her own special little way.

the one thing i love about her is the way she communicates through her songs, most of it is done as though she's talking instead of singing. For example, in her song Mariella, she basically almost talked througout the song. okay, maybe the whole of it but she does it with such coolness.
i find this really awesome, really.

Mariella, Mariella
My pretty baby girl
Unglue your lips from being together and
And wear some pink and pearls
You can have your friends 'round
And they can stay for tea
Won't you just try to fit in please
Do this for me

But Mariella just crossed her arms
As she walked up the stairs
And she went into her bedroom
And she sat on her bed
And she looked in the mirror
And she thought to herself
"If I wanna play, I can play with me
If I wanna think, I'll think in my head"

if i could be like one girl, i'd be like Mariella, keeping quiet to myself is what i'll do, if i want to. i never liked talking to people honestly. weird? maybe a little too introverted. only words of gossips, critisms comes out of people's mouth. miscommunication occurs.
yes yes. talking and sharing ideas or thoughts or whatever, was never my kind of thing. maybe listening to the conversation is the most i'll do.
again..yes i know we grow and construct our view of the world through sharing of views but really, i'd rather keep to myself like Mariella. honestly. i do understand that we people connect with friends or whatever it is through communicating but honestly, i'd rather not talk and enjoy quiet moments.

Well, I have to agree, it is a very somber and melancholic song. Exudes a certain amount of loneliness and despair. People give a lot of attention to verbal communication, but I guess that does not take into consideration those who prefer being silent.

Though, the song gets up-beat in the middle. Perhaps this is a reflection of the frustration that people who are introverted might feel, from time to time?

Though, people might be introverted, they would still have their own releases, and perhaps that's where new communication technologies come in.

People assume personalities online and have multi-dimensional personalities. I think this song is a good example of how complex, we as individuals are.
