This is one of those songs that are almost hard to listen to. I mean, I've heard sad songs before, but when you hear how stripped off and geniune her voice is, and you can tell that the lyrics are more or less her diary from when she was a kid... It's so true and it gets under your skin, it's unbelievable!
I don't understand why she isn't on the lips of every person in every country. She has the most incredible dynamic voice and her lyrics are always so potent and memorable. I've never heard anyone who writes the way she does, she puts things in such a diverse way. I LOVE HER!
The Cause and Effect album is coming out in the UK in April. All this Time will be out on March 29th as a single. Cannot wait. Power Trip Ballad needs to be the next single!!!
I just spent all day and night for 2 days listening to every song I could find of her's. This song really sticks out to me. I can't relate to the family horrors, but my heart breaks for her and for anyone who can relate to this. *hugs*
Anyway, this song is just so...I don't even know how to explain. It just gets me. She's incredible.
can totally relate. when my parents divorced I always thought that in our family it would be different. that my parents could actually behave like adults and not turn it into a mud-slinging contest...
some things are just not meant to be heard by daughters and sons...
She wrote this song because her parents got divorced and she was depressed and got an eating disorder, that is what makes the song so strong its real ;D
This song reminds me a bit of my childhood. Me stepfather was violent, and Maria Mena says what i mean about my stepfather with the words: `You will always be the bitter, saddest part of me`.
In my situation i will say one more thing to him: `Good bye, i don`t wanna see you ever again`.
Thanks Maria for making this song, and put some words of my brain to paper.
I didn't even noticed that. I'm sorry for my horrible songtext. Please comment if there are more typos or totally wrong sentences in it. And please enjoy the music. (:
This text is so honest, nothing she has left behind. She realy must had be going trough a very hard time. I love her song, it reflecting her pain she had. en probably still bothering a bit.
I love this song. I love this album! Maria has grown a lot. Her previous songs have been a little too popish for my taste. but these lyrics are so honest and real! she's said that she'll probably never make an album like this one again. there are just too many emotions involved. I admire you, Maria.
This text are the most honest i ever have listen to, and readed.
It`s realistic, and a have been through alot of bad family stuff. I understand Maria Mena. She is strong when she can share this with us. Thank you, Maria.
i think it is about her parents splitting up cause it happened when she was nine also i dont she got along that well with her mum cause she went to live with her dad when she was 13
wow this song really shows how much her childhood affected her.her parents split up when she was 9 and she had depression and eating disorder but she became one of the greatest most sincere singer/songwriter there ever was.truly.
i absolutely love this song!! very touching!! -33
