Writing songs is my curse.
I write songs that are snapshops of my life. If I don't make them see the light, they end up bottled up inside me, dormant, like a threatening cancer. I need to let them out, set them free. It's a matter of life and death. That's why writing songs is part of my basic survival instincts. I would never say it's a skill, a talent, let alone a gift.
So, I have been cursed to write songs until the end of my days.
That's why I do it. I have no choice.
So, thank you for listening to my music and relieve me from my torture for a few minutes.
It definitely feels good.

Escribir canciones es mi maldición.
Escribo canciones que son fotos instantáneas de mi vida. Si no las hago ver la luz, terminan embotelladas en mi interior, latentes, como una cáncer amenazador. Necesito dejarlas salir, liberarlas. Es un asunto de vida o muerte. Es por eso que escribir canciones es parte de mis instintos básicos de supervivencia. Nunca diría que es una habilidad, un talento, y mucho menos, un don.
De modo que fui maldecida a escribir canciones hasta el final de mis días.
Por eso lo hago. No tengo otra opción.
Así que gracias por escuchar mi música y aliviarme un poco de esta tortura por unos minutos. Definitivamente se siente bien.

I compose music that makes my heart beat faster, music that makes me cry, music that stirs up feelings, music that communicates, music that connects. Yes, my music is dramatic, but it's also passionate, it makes me feel alive. That's how I choose to live my life: the Ex Corde way (Latin for "From the Heart").
