Song: Look Away
Written By: Magie Lena, Abie Lena
Produced by: mISTER_b (Drake Anthony), The Vibrant (Dylan Olsen), ElectroLightz (Carlos White, David White and Michelle White)
Genre: Pop
Length: 3:28

BACKGROUND

The penultimate track of the album is dark, spooky and certainly sad. It was a long road to get to this album and yet it doesn’t choose a certain genre, despite it’s clear that all track flirts into the electronic scene, it looks like Magie was really in an identity crisis and it even clearer in this final two tracks.
This one starts with some weird industrial distorted vocal effect which grows to a mid tempo drum and bass line beat which sets the compass of the track and also its tone. Magie has a clean and thin vocal, she sings loud, specially the chorus and the bridge of the track.
About the chorus, is perceived that it has some changes compared to the original verses of the track, this change comes from Magie singing style and obviously some synth beats added to the main structure of the track. There are effects on Magie’s vocals, some distortions and synthesizers.
Magie is grieving in this song, she is really sad but she’s determined to end once and for all what left her feeling this way, so if we understand that it’s a song that leads us to the end of this project, it might make sense to have this track here. She talks about looking away to another direction as a metaphor to not look back to the past which might be a love interest in this case. She also refers that there were strength wasted in this relationship, it’s very touching and sad.
Production was responsible for Drake and ElectroLightz, writing belong to Magie and obviously Abie Lena, which explicity leaves her writing mark in this track.

MAGIE COMMENTS

Look away is one of those deep meaning songs you write, it was like a journey for me to write it, because I had to revive some memories and moments I wished I have forgotten long ago, so for me to listen to it and to sing it it’s a therapy. I like the weirdness of the sound, it’s dark and gloomy and perhaps it will lead people to their own dark moments, but in a good way, like understand that certain things were made to be survived.

LYRICS

I shrug
And I shift my gaze
It hurts
But I’d learnt not to care

Such a long time
Such a long time lost
But I won’t cry
Won’t let a single tear drops

If you made up your mind
Well I will open up the doors
You don’t wanna be inside
But I never play on the outdoor
So let’s just pretend we never met
And in the future when we’ll cross us through the way
I’ll look away

Your weakness reducing me to dust
My strength lessens as in my heart grows a hole

Such a long time
Such a long time wasted
But I won’t cry
Just survive the disgrace

If you made up your mind
Well I will open up the doors
You don’t wanna be inside
But I never play on the outdoor
So let’s just pretend we never met
And in the future when we’ll cross us through the way
I’ll look away

There was too much at stake to take the risk
You chose to get the easiest way
And fear has become your best friend
We were turning our own enemy
Now I moved on and choices were made
Don’t push it, don’t ever ask me again
I’m trying to make no more mistakes
You should do the same
So look away

If you made up your mind
Well I will open up the doors
You don’t wanna be inside
But I never play on the outdoor
So let’s just pretend we never met
And in the future when we’ll cross us through the way
I’ll look away

Song: Remember Me
Written By: Magie Lena
Produced by: mISTER_b (Drake Anthony), Will Rocca
Genre: Synth pop, pop
Length: 3:14

BACKGROUND

Riding in on a lone whistle straight out of an old Western movie, come the titled track of the record and the last one “Remember me”, Magie claims for attention in this song, she sounds crying over the gloomy melodies. It is a mid another mid tempo track but different than other previous mid tempo ballads of the record, this one is by far the best of them.
It has strings and piano till electronic beats come in over and turns it into a smash sad anthem. Magie’s vocals are crispy and strong (in the choruses of the song) she’s suffering throughout the track which eludes us that it was probably her most honest and rawest track so far.
The synth beats are a tremendous shift in this track, accompanied by acoustic strings and piano, they form a nature classic structure of a ballad track ready to conquer a number one spot on the charts. However it does not summarizes the album’s direction as a titled track would serve to, it is quite a standalone track if it were not for its previous counterpart (look away).
But the track is good, Lyrically it’s about grieving for a time that cannot cameback and even being creepy by analyzing that past time as a dead piece of someone’s life. Magie tell us that she fears people won’t remember her, and so she repeats the “remember me” phrase over and over, so her audience will remember to remember her. Well that sounds confusing.
The choruses are good but the standing part of track are the verses, with spooky vocals and extremely painful lines, Magie does her best work by transmitting the desolation feelings she has within her heart by singing those lines.
Again the whole album closes uncertain, it does not have a common feeling throught its songs, it started out with a direction that was not fulfilled on its end, but for a debut it serves well, at least Magie is ready to move on for her past (ElectroDeath) and we think that this last track might be about that.
The most notable thing abour this last track is that it was written by Magie alone and produced her best friend Drake plus Will Rocca and by talking about that we realize that this is the best direction that two big producers can brought in a near future for any struggling artist or for a brave artist that is up to risk a new direction in their own music.

MAGIE COMMENTS

The feelings I get when I finished this project was that I had something to release after all that I’ve been through in my life. I know people will compare this project with previous material I did with my past band and they will find this project amateur, especially when you have an album like “The Sun Will Rise” in your curriculum. The funiest thing is that I’ll be always remembered as an ElectroDeath girl and that is a burden I’m gonna bear for the rest of my career. This song is about that, is about being remembered and I’m certain that after this project I’ll be able to at least devise people’s eyes to my past and hopefully make them see in me a new person, a new singer a new artist.

LYRICS

Once I was sleeping
Now I'm awaken
To face my own reality
All we had chased, all we have conquered
Was nothing but a mere dream?
What is left for me to hold on?
Did something go wrong?
When I’m gone, when I’m done?
Will you remember me?

Seems I've been sleeping all this time
I haven’t lived a real life
There are no more stories to tell
You were watching as I fell
In my hands holds a blank page
But I can't write without faith
Tell me you still wait for me
Tell me do you remember me?

Remember, remember me,
Remember me, remember me

The written lines heard by millions
Don’t make sense anymore
They’re just there to haunt me, to make me weaker
Like memories I can’t let go
What is left for me to have hope?
Did I do anything wrong?
When we’re gone, When we’re done?
Will you remember me?

Seems I've been sleeping all this time
I haven’t lived a real life
There are no more stories to tell
You were watching as I fell
In my hands holds a blank page
But I can't write without faith
Tell me you still wait for me
Tell me do you remember me?

Seems we were sleeping all this time
We haven’t lived a real life
There are no more stories to tell
We were only delaying our fell
Now In my hands holds a blank page
I can re-write ‘cause I have faith
I know you still wait for me
I know you remember me

Remember, remember me,
Remember me, remember me

How am I gonna solve it, when it’s about to start
It’s a wrecked ship drowning into the sea and I’m going far
Even I push it harder, we were lead to this murder
How am I gonna solve it, when it’s about to start

I surrender ‘cause I lost, it's time for me to make my walk

Yeah it’s time to make my walk (time to lead my way)
I’m not gonna fall from grace
I’ll push and shove, I’ll work it out
I’ll make my star bright on space
From my throat I’ll sing it loud
And by myself I’ll shine, it’s time to make my walk

Just 'cause I was used to lean myself on you
And I could save my hands from the hard work too
I was fooled by the spotlights, You were fooled by my bright
So how am I gonna solve it, when it already start


I surrender ‘cause I lost, it's time for me to make my walk

Yeah it’s time to make my walk (time to lead my way)
I’m not gonna fall from grace
I’ll push and shove, I’ll work it out
I’ll make my star bright on space
From my throat I’ll sing it loud
And by myself I’ll shine, it’s time to make my walk

I’ll let go off me all vanities
There’s a long road ahead of me
And it’s time to follow my lead

Yeah it’s time to make my walk (time to lead my way)
I’m not gonna fall from grace
I’ll push and shove, I’ll work it out
I’ll make my star bright on space
From my throat I’ll sing it loud
And by myself I’ll shine, it’s time to make my walk

When I’m looking to the mirror
I can see scars in my soul
I’ve lived, I’ve learned
And they’re there to remind me
I’ve lived, I’ve learned
I know there’s no denying

I’m right to say, I survived
And now I’m out of any disguise
I’ll show, I’ll show to you my identity
I’ll show, I’ll show

If you’re hurting then raise your hand
If you’re crying then raise your hand
We must to stand, we must to demand
Fighting for a chance, fighting for a change

If you hold a shout then raise your hand
If you bore too far, then raise your hand
We must to stand, we must to demand
Fighting for a chance, fighting for a change

No I don’t need to change me
No you don’t need to love me
I’m good, I’m fine
As long as I’m honest
I’m good, I’m fine
I quitted all the promises

Always trying to fit in
Being someone I couldn’t be
I’ll show, you’ll know my truly identity
You’ll know, you’ll know

If you’re hurting then raise your hand
If you’re crying then raise your hand
We must to stand, we must to demand
Fighting for a chance, fighting for a change

If you hold a shout then raise your hand
If you bore too far then raise your hand
We must to stand, we must to demand
Fighting for a chance, fighting for a change

Oh yeah

I’m setting me free
You’ll know I can be
It’s my identity
It’s my identity

I’m not gonna hide
You know, I survived
It’s my identity

If you’re hurting then raise your hand
If you’re crying then raise your hand
We must to stand, we must to demand
Fighting for a chance, fighting for a change

If you hold a shout then raise your hand
If you bore too far then raise your hand
We must to stand, we must to demand
Fighting for a chance, fighting for a change

Oh yeah

(Show yourself, don’t need to be in a shell)
(Show yourself, don’t need to be in a shell)
(Show yourself, don’t need to be in a shell)
(Show yourself, don’t need to be in a shell)

THANK YOU

Such a long road till I’m finally here and so many people on the way, to thank to, let me start with my spiritual side, so thanks to the goddess and with that line, I start to thank the people around me, my family, Mom for being the foundation of my life and my refuge space, my sister Abie for her incredible talent and her skills in being such a pain in the arse when she needs to, but I love you so much!
Big thanks to Drake, for still being here when I was crazy enough to tell him that I wanted to re-start everything and we already had half of it done, thanks to Carlos White, David White and Michelle White for illuminating my creativity spirit when it was down, thanks to Lilly Stuart for being the best friend a girl can ask despite the business woman she became, she remains an angel in my life.
Thanks to Dylan Olsen (The Vibrant) you have a long road ahead of you little boy, Marcos Stuart for taking care of my career and everything that sucks when it comes to bureaucracy.
Big thanks to Will Rocca for picking up that call and bringing to studio his genius crazy mind, thanks to Neveah for giving me the opportunity when I was not a rentable singer. To all other people who worked on this record, engineers, producers, musicians, thank you for making it sound good as it does.
Big thanks to Tisha, the sexiest person on earth! Hands down!
Elyar Black, I felt so happy beside you in the studio, we both have a path to conquer and I’m sure we’re in the right way.
And most important thanks to you! The fan, the most important piece of this body of work, all of those songs were made for you, to feel happy, to feel sexy, to feel comfortable, to feel fierceness, to feel like crying, to feel like dancing, to remember me!
