Abie has a total of four studio albums and one live album released with an impressive 25 million copies sold, not forgetting to mention the 18 singles and another 20 million copies of sales. It would be enough for an artist of this generation finally release a greatest hits compilation, but beyond sales and chart positions, Abie conquered something that not all of this artists generations conquered, which is respect.

Songs from her first record, where a 19 years old Abie was struggling in love, later to become a more coherent and dense record like her second “Seasons”. Moving to one of the darkest periods of her life, where she deals with life and death on “The End starts now” and finally arriving on her most artistic work to date which was hear last album “The grim history of love”. This collection also brings a new track produced exclusively for it, it’s called “Worst side of me” and a BlueRay disc featuring Abie’s videography a ride on her extensive catalogue with her music videos all of them highly profiled by other artists and some of them with over 100 million views on VEVO.

The percussion first appears in the chorus of the song, but it is soft and low just like Abie vocals too, it all gives a desperation mood to the song but within the mood, there’s a sensation of hope and also an old 1920’s influence. Abie range reminds us the firsts single of this album ‘you make me die’ where she goes from low notes to high notes in a single line, always sounding sexy yet haunting and mysterious. The millennium choir provides the violins performed in the song, which was responsible for all other tracks of the album. Gia-Rose, produces the song but Abie Lena and Lilly Stuart wrote it around 2012 where Abie was working on this album. Its lyrics talk about overcoming from an abusive relationship where one of the parts of it only wants satisfies its sexual desires, so Abie is grieving about not having the love of her partner as she wanted to have, she clearly declares in the song that she’s being used as a sexual object. The song has a hopeful message where Abie eludes that even though she’ll burn and turn herself into ashes, she’ll arise again as a phoenix, meaning that she’ll get over him and that she’ll overcome that situation and the love she once had would disappear anytime soon. Certain parts of the song show another side of Abie Lena’s grieve, where she sings ‘leave me here alone, under the dark moon it’s where I know myself’ meaning that she’s used to feel alone and only being by herself she’ll know how to deal with that no corresponded love feelings. The track was not included in the standard version of the album for Abie claiming that this song it’s a little outta reality due to its fantastic analogies, which includes mythological creatures such as the phoenix. Now it serves as the first track of a bonus edition of the album, which is expected to be released next November 23 rd. Quote: ‘Phoenix is a very theatrical song, I like that aspect and I really think that it can open my listeners’ views, because it is wide, it’s big and sad but epic, if you can comprehend me. It calls a strength inside of us that most of us don’t even know about, I’m so empowered whenever I perform this track and my fans always complained to me that it was not released as a single, unfortunately we decided to already move on to another chapter instead of having a promotion for this track, but I think that even though it was not a single, it is so popular among my fans, they always claim for it when I’m on tour and I feel so happy when they sing along with me, it makes the moment remarkable like in an opera house.’ Lyrics Now that I've realized I lost the game Although you still roll the dices, I fall from grace There are still carnal desires But I can’t play the role of a liar I think of you every day I know you told me you don’t think the same Leave me here alone Under the dark moon, It’s where I know myself Let me be alone Away from your core, Here I’ll be myself And when I burn, Oh when I burn Don’t you blow my ashes! ‘Cause when I burn I’ll arise just like a phoenix Now that I've realized I’m late Story has been told and I still chase it How could I have fool my mind That you and me would be paradise When all you showed was nothing beyond… …than what my body wished too long Leave me here alone Under the dark moon, It’s where I know myself Let me be alone Away from your core, Here I’ll be myself And when I burn, Oh when I burn Don’t you blow my ashes! ‘Cause when I burn I’ll arise just like a phoenix This night let me run naked Let me get rid of these flames This desire burning is being my secret No one knows it but you gained it No I can’t, No I won’t My heart faints, when you ignore me You don’t seem to be the one so, let me burn Leave me here alone Under the dark moon, It’s where I know myself Let me be alone Away from your core, Here I’ll be myself And when I burn, Oh when I burn Don’t you blow my ashes! ‘Cause when I burn I’ll arise just like a phoenix Oh when I burn Don’t you dare to blow my ashes! Oh I will burn To later arise like a phoenix Sounds Like Edited by user 10 April 2015 02:28:57(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

The Song was produced in the alternative hip hop and trip hop genres. It first starts with and orchestral violin and choir and on its background can be hear fireworks till it breaks down to a Hip Hop bass beat. The main structure of the song is composed of various sounds and instruments, mixing hip hop and trip hop elements with orchestral sounds. In the chorus, Abie and Tisha half-sing, half-raps the lines. Abie employs an alternative rapping technique (probably influenced by the presence of Tisha Jackson on the writings of the song) sung above a hip hop beat and heavy bass lines, it sounds like Abie or Tisha were almost "chatting". Other elements presented on the song are the choirs, loudly on the choruses of the song and harmonies provided by the duet which both of the singers are performing throughout the song. The singers also add ironical tones to their voices, but they also sound somehow morbid, especially because of the trip hop sounds among the other sounds in the song. Lyrics are about someone who comprehends that its death is closer and so this person starts to ask himself about things that were done, when this person was alive, that weren’t good enough to leave a mark or even make other people remember its life. But at the same time the song also talks about the wish of each human to make a difference in the world, this is represented when the line ‘Tell them I died for a Reason’ is sung. Quote: ‘I remember being approached by Tisha’s managers, she was making a new album and she thought about working on a duet with me, obviously I said let’s do this right away and we were at the studio working together, it was two days of work, I already had this song recorded only by me, but I felt that if I wanted to walk in a new field in terms of music, a field that I was not used to, it would be perfectly good for me to accompanied by someone skilled like Tisha, so I showed her the song before we met to record and she loved it, she changed some lines added her flavors and I like to think that this is one of those duets people eill always remember, its powerful and mysterious the same time, I remember the time we performed on The Voice, it was a marvelous period of my life, I had just recovered from my illness and I was so ready to work, I wanted to be everywhere playing my music, and the radio and other markets they were all so receptive for this track, I couldn’t be happier and of course I had Gia behind the production, I must say she was a bit of worried and I told her that Tisha was going to be featuring on the song, but she knew what I was doing and it turned out really great.’ Lyrics Abie Tisha Both Clock is ticking and the silence As I’m drawing my fate in this absence When love isn’t enough Alone you can’t hold on Your faith is vanishing on what is coming next The sky is falling Days are browning Kids are watching the black parade pass Inside my heart I feel desperation And desolation I breathe with the air of the night Can you make me a speech when I die? Tell them I lived with dignity Forget the ups and downs, don’t let them know my vows Tell them I lived with integrity Forgive my deviations, hide my indiscretions Tell them I was a good girl Everyone will believe if you say the words Tell them I died for a reason Clock is ticking and the silence I now cross the limits of our existence Skin is turning cold They dig a deep hole There, they’ll throw out my soul Through generations there’ll be declarations Of my legacy and my intimacy I can’t hear your voice, but I hear a noise It says I must go But before, can I tell them how it’s the end? Well, It seems I can’t be more resistant… Tell them I lived with dignity Forget the ups and downs, don’t let them know my vows Tell them I lived with integrity Forgive my deviations, hide my indiscretions Tell them I was a good girl Everyone will believe if you say the words Tell them I died for a reason Don’t be afraid my friend Death is not the end It’s a new start for a new age Worries and duties, stories of ruins If you say I’ll stay, If you ask I’ll pray But my soul is leaving my body today Oh it’s not so sad No you don’t need to despair Sell my things, sell my rings Unhook yourself, sell my wealth But keep my photo in your wallet Clock is ticking and the silence I’m watching you even though the distance Don’t think I’m crazy ‘Cause I just see the haze They came to get me My last wish is For you to live Hear no sound from cardiac monitor Tell them I lived with dignity Forget the ups and downs, don’t let them know my vows Tell them I lived with integrity Forgive my deviations, hide my indiscretions Tell them I was a good girl Everyone will believe if you say the words Tell them I died for a reason Love isn’t enough Alone I can’t hold on Far away goes my soul Love isn’t enough Alone I can’t hold on Far away goes my soul Love isn’t enough Alone I can’t hold on Far away goes my soul Love isn’t enough Alone I can’t hold on Far away goes my soul Sounds Like Edited by user 10 April 2015 06:01:18(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Right after comes Abie haunting vocals which reminds us her third record on hits like “You make me Die” or “Dead for a Reason”. One minute after the duet between Abie’s vocal and the surf rock electric guitar riff, the chorus of the track comes in full shape, with additional backing vocal, soprano’s notes and a slow-tempo drum. The chorus is made of four verses of two segments, the second segments adds another flavor to the track with violin, and it certainly makes it sound epic and melancholic. The second strophe goes just as the first and then another chorus comes and after it there’s an electric guitar solo that cries as much as Abie’s vocals. After the solo, there’s a slowdown moment, where only Abie’s voice is heard accompanied by some effects such as eco and additional backing vocal, the song goes slowing down as it is reaching the end, Abie lowers her voice and so all the other elements of the track does as she does. Abie’s vocal performance is remarkable, but the melody of the song helps Abie soprano’s note to sound more reliable and melancholic. There’s not much of high notes on the track, but it has some personality and obviously a tremendous level of emotion evolved on her timber. Theme of the track deals with the main character of the story behind the concept of the album. It is about transcending to a life after death and still grieving for a love left behind, but it’s obviously not a good love, the character of the song is actually feeling relief of being away of all that hate and negative feelings that love brought to her when she was alive. Also there’s some allusions to whether or not this person, now dead, it’s a spirit or something else. The main story of the record will come attached to it. Quote: ‘I was so inspired when I wrote this track and I remember the first time we listen o it when it was finished we already thought about releasing it as a single, it was immediately arranged to be released but unfortunately it leaked two weeks before and I remember Gia on the phone with some guys arguing with them really mad at what was happening, we were so frustrated because you work really hard and you wait for the right time to release the single, you book promotion and all of that stuffs and someone takes that out of you, it’s really upsetting. But in the end I think it made its way through my fans, it’s a fan favorite, perhaps not one of my biggest selling singles, but they love it when I perform it on tour and I have to say that I love singing it, it’s a good chemistry.’ Lyrics For so much time I searched Something that would break this curse Something I could trust And so I failed and I fell in my own lust When I had flesh And love was subdued Nothing was free, not even me And neither you But now I can fly away Beyond the suffering Where humans can’t breathe Where immortals live You’ll meet me In your restless dreams When you’re open and fragile And no air is in your lungs Hurts to know there’s no coming back Torments my soul that you’re still there You’re the remnant, the glimpse of penance I had to see when you left me Now, At night you pray For someone to take my remembrance away Darling, I didn’t want no other place From you, just far away And even if I could Touch the ground I would despise you And your love unsound ‘Cause now I can fly away Beyond the suffering Where humans can’t breathe Where immortals live You’ll meet me In your restless dreams When you’re open and fragile And no air is in your lungs Sounds Like

The song features dramatic theatrical lyrics about a no corresponded love where Abie struggles due to her feelings for someone who didn’t care about her. According to the singer, the song is "About the desperate feelings of someone wishing to love again, but it also can represent the fear of me dyeing without living a long love story”. A lot of themes in this album are about her fear of death, once she already said that she felt death approaching her in a young age, so she made several analogies of seeing herself dyeing without living situations along the time she wishes to live. Production of the song started in October of last year and Abie said that she was working on something more dramatic and theatrical than her previous work, this is literally perceived in the first melodies of the song which are composed of violins and electronic ambient sounds plus orchestral percussion, also Abie is singing in an all new style, with melodic vocals and performing lyrical notes. There’s an intonation of apocalyptic sensations throughout the song, another way of Abie to represent her death fears from the days she was in the rehab. Quote: ‘You hear a lot of things from people in this industry about reaching stardom and keeping the fame you conquered and one of them is that you have to write a song that will make people think about you even though someone else is singing it and I never understood what that means until I wrote this track. It’s one of those signature songs you make one time and suddenly they’re going to haunt you forever, I mean I still love this song, but I also feel forced to perform it because my fans wants to listen to it and I own them and I respect them so that’s the goal, but I’m glad this song came out in a moment where I needed something to take the spot out of my personal life and it did it wisely.’ Lyrics Fear took over me now Blood is all over this doubt Everytime a new opportunity appears Sooner I’ll see crystal clear See myself on the ground Please can you be sweeter I’m not asking you to lie I’m just not prepared to stand or to hear Let me deal with me from here And maybe I can survive From your indifference You don’t want me, you don’t love me And I’m a fool of waiting you in this make believe Love hurts so much, death is near to approach I’m sorry if you feel pushed I didn’t mean to have this crush Let me taste your pity in my lips Let me hear your contempt in my ears I want you anyway Don’t make me beg, don’t make me creep ‘Cause every word You make me die Drained my last drop of hope Around my neck you pull the rope As I go deeper in your world Slowly I’m losing my soul Guess my life had been stole By yourself honey You don’t want me, you don’t love me And I’m a fool of waiting you in this make believe Love hurts so much, death is near to approach I’m sorry if you feel pushed I didn’t mean to have this crush Let me taste your pity in my lips Let me hear your contempt in my ears I want you anyway Don’t make me beg, don’t make me creep ‘Cause every word you make me die you make me die you make me die Let me breathe your absent air Let me touch your cold heart in this lair I want you anyway You don’t deserve me, you don’t need me And I’m a fool of waiting you in this make believe Love hurts so much, death is near to approach I’m sorry if you feel pushed I didn’t mean to have this crush Let me taste your pity in my lips Let me hear your contempt in my ears I want you anyway Don’t make me beg, don’t make me creep ‘Cause every word you make me die you make me die Sounds Like Edited by user 10 April 2015 07:14:27(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

The first strophe of the song we have Abie singing in a very soft style, but you have to understand that the whole song bears some kind of free style singing, Abie sings while feeling the song’s melodies. The sad and dark tone behind her singing is something to cling about too, she has never sounded so dark before. In the pre-chorus of the track, Abie raises her voice a little bit, showing us the desperate feelings she’s hiding inside her heart, but is still subtle to what is about to come. In this moment another piano riff is added to the original melody of the song, this makes the song sound bigger than when it started, in general the song has this crescendo melody which is combined to Abie’s vocals, making it sound as a power ballad. The chorus is more elaborated vocally speaking, here Abie give us a tip of her powerful voice, but it’s still slow and soft. The second strophe starts the additions of bass and drums and other strings, giving the song a neo-soul influence, also Abie’s vocal is more incorporated than it was before, she still sounds morbid but there’s some kind of fire growing inside her heart desperate to be released. The pre-chorus starts again Abie sings it with more confidence and louder than before till it culminates on the second chorus. And now we can start to see that amazing strong voice range Abie has, it is not fully loud or high like she did before, but it’s stronger than it was in the entire song and that desperate hopeless feeling is starting to come out of her heart. The song than enters in a hook moment, where Abie sings in a crescendo style the last strophe of the song, she starts soft and calm till she delivers all her breath to an amazing high note, which she holds till the start of the last chorus. In the last chorus Abie is fantastic, her vocals are strong, high and she’s singing the song like she was suffering for a very long time, but now she’s delivering all the pain and suffering she held inside her. Melodically the drums in this part of the song are more rock and roll style, but it is almost unperceived, because we clearly can say that this song was made to praise Abie’s voice. The song ends with Abie almost whispering the name of it. The song takes reference from the spring season, which Abie compares the warming up sensation and her cold heart. She reveals throughout the song that she’s cold because someone that she loved a lot did something to hurt her and then left her alone, so she is saying that there’s a hate inside her that wants to get out somehow, by the end of the song she makes an analogy of killing the person who broke her, so she could get free of all this hate, but of course it’s an analogy, she’s trying to say that to get over situations we must kill the memories and the things that pushes back. Quote: ‘Cold Spring is a hard song to perform live, I mean almost all of the songs on “Seasons” are hard to sing, we really pushed the limits of my vocal potential with the production of this album, again its another fan favorite and I like singing it really loud, despite it is difficult to handle the notes, I think that’s very powerful live.’ Lyrics Flowers burn, but there’s no sun The winter is gone, but the cold returned Despite I'd tried, I can’t deny You took my heart, you left a scar And I’m trying to survive While I feel the hazard You’re so mean to reveal the truth behind yourself The cold winds frozen my love The exactly time you’re gone And I’m still trying to see the tones Of this cold spring Well I thought, yes I fought Against my will, to make this real You don’t deserve, but I ignored All the warnings signs, I made up a disguise And I’m trying to survive While I feel the hazard You’re so mean to reveal the truth behind yourself The cold winds frozen my love The exactly time you’re gone And I’m still trying to see the tones Of this cold spring There’s a fire burning inside of me And it’s boiling my darkest wish And I don’t want your sorry I’ll pull the trigger just see you disappear The cold winds frozen my love The exactly time you’re gone And I’m still trying to see the tones Of this cold spring Sounds Like

This poetic track is performed over an elaborated orchestral melody which fuses piano, violins of all kinds and sounds, plus a beautiful choir. The melody of the song is almost a funeral march if it weren’t for the bridge where a light is seemed at the end of the tunnel. The bridge of this song delivered as an incredible vocal performance by Abie, where she raised her voice till the end of the song where she vocalizes a note from the ones she used to do when she started out. Following the interpretations of the album’s titled ‘The End Starts Now’, this time Abie is singing about the end of a relationship, although we don’t know for sure if it is a romantic relationship or a family relationship or even a friendship relationship, the fact is that this song is about broke up, but acceptance too. Abie is taking the blame for her, but at the same time she compares the situation with an assault and even says that she’s suffering. The song grows to a more confident feeling, when it reaches its end, where Abie says that the person is better without her and that she won’t die because of that. Another interpretation for the song could be the end of something that was pushing you back. The song was a collaboration between Abie and Rick, but Gia took part on the production of it too. After this song, there’s a switch of themes and sound on the record, Abie will gain more confidence and she’ll sing about different interpretations for ‘The End Starts Now’. Quote: Lyrics It’s all my fault I made our life bitter like salt I understand why you halted I dug my own vault So It’s all my fault Between us were edified walls Without worries, we spoke loud Now I’m suffering this assault Light my world again Heal my wounds again Save my soul Give me hope Again Light my world again Heal my wounds again Save my soul Give me hope Again Again Why does this have to hurt? Why can't we decline our lust? And all our story is being buried Nothing can save us I killed both of us And you’ll never want me back Light my world again Heal my wounds again Save my soul Give me hope Again Light my world again Heal my wounds again Save my soul Give me hope Again Again Light my world Heal my wounds Save my love Again Swimming to the surface Breathing the air of sane Leaving all the regrets Moments I want to forget And we’ll be alright Time will heal our heart Without me you’re better And I won’t die Light my world again Heal my wounds again Save my soul Give me hope Again Light my world again Heal my wounds again Save my soul Give me hope Again Again It’s my fault So, heal my soul Again Sounds Like

Quote: My dear Lord, I travel back time now, it hasn’t been a really long time I didn’t listen to this song, I mean, the CD version of it, great moments I had with it, despite all the emotional side of it. I think its beautiful and it’s honest and it’s raw as well, I like it so much, now I can relate to it in other interpretations, but I did wrote thinking about the breakup of my parents, it was really hard and I remember that my mom used to say that my father didn’t cry the whole moment they were ending their relationship, I never had the opportunity to ask him if he ever falt like crying, he passed away one year and a half after this. Lyrics I looked at your brown eyes And I realized that you’re leaving me I looked at your tearful eyes Yet you were so strong to hold your cry Why has to be this way My love wasn’t enough to bear the pain Your voice was shaking but you handle it well My heart was breaking slowly hearing every word You were saying “We broke up!” Don’t bother I’ll be alright But please baby just, don’t you cry I will live by my own I’m not that young I have grown It will hurt untill I forget It will hurt untill I forget Remember the days we lied In the grass talking about a future life Remember when you said to me That you loved me and we would marry Your voice was shaking but you handle it well My heart was breaking slowly hearing every word You were saying “We broke up!” Don’t bother I’ll be alright But please baby just, don’t you cry I will live by my own I’m not that young I have grown It will hurt untill I forget It will hurt untill I forget And someday we'll stop to think In all those sweet memories The pain would be just a scar And our love would be sleeping Don’t bother I’ll be alright But please baby just, don’t you cry I will live by my own I’m not that young I have grown It will hurt untill I forget It will hurt untill I forget It will hurt untill I forget Sounds Like Edited by user 12 April 2015 04:12:28(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

The piano introduction part is slow and subtle, extremely sad, till is finally breaks to a faster piano melody, and this fast melody makes the path to Abie start singing the song. The first strophe we have Abie singing like if she has lost the hope, she’s not sad and not desperate, she’s just accepting the fact that she is alone and she lost all the hope of her heart. The piano here is fast and dramatic, but it’s still simple and subtle, all of this makes Abie sounds clear and clean, but she’s also subtle as the melodies of the song. The chorus receives another piano base melody to that one the song presented when it started. Abie sings a bit louder than the first strophe and also she’s harmonic. Second strophe Abie takes the tone of the first strophe of the song and again transmits that lost feeling to its listeners. But the melodies are the same as the chorus of the song. There’re variations of Abie’s singin style g, she’s all free style in the entire song. Before she starts the chorus again, she sings a pre-chorus that was not presented in the first strophe of the song. The second chorus also introduces the end of the song, here Abie goes along with that harmonic intonation to her voice till the song ends. There’s a break melody helped by the amazing crying style of Abie vocals, than Abie repeats the song and by the end of it, she keeps singing short phrases to end the song even more desolated than when she started it. Lyrically the song is all about drama, Abie is alone and desolated, she lost her hope and she’s feeling alone and forgotten, so she keeps making analogies of the seasons changings and her life is still stuck. Quote: Lyrics Leaves are falling from the trees, it’s almost winter There’s no sun to warm my skin I’m tuned at this and there’s nothing to interfere Do you think you can save my life? Can you wake me up? I’m tired of sleeping awake Nothing for me seems to be real Words and wishes Things I left behind Fear and hopeless Things I have in my mind And no one helps me And no one leads me And no one saves me And no one tries… I can’t remember how it was before The fog is all over it As the times goes passing by I’m becoming colder I could walk in front of cars, or scream out Nobody would look or hear me They’re too busy to think about Seasons change and I’m still the same Seasons change and you’re still opaque Seasons change and we’re far away Seasons change and they fade Seasons change and I can’t change my fate Words and wishes Things I left behind Fear and hopeless Things I have in my mind And no one helps me And no one leads me And no one saves me And no one tries… No one tries… No one tries… No one tries… Sounds Like

It sounds like a fairytale track which could be served for any Disney princess trash version film, it It’s haunting, depressive and extremely apathetic, it starts off with guitar riffs and later on a slowdown drum is added and also some elements of bass and percussion completes the melodies of the track. Even though you realize through its lyrics that it is about the loss of happiness in its rawest way, it is sung in a way that could represent the accretion of losing its happiness. Abie’s voice sounds low key, relaxing and warm, it’s her echoing effect that leads the listener to feel an ironic tone on her singing, but it still sounds pretty and in the end quite tormenting. Abie is tormented in this track, following the storyline of the record it’s the exactly moment when the man realizes his fault on his ex-wife’s death and this track sort of works and a suicidal letter even though Abie didn’t clarified of specified the suicide of this character. Quote: ‘In this last album I tried a lot of different sounds and textures and instruments and this song was so enigmatic to me when I wrote it, I'm happy the way I'm working right now, because it was always a bi dream of mine to make a pop opera album and this last accomplishment was just surreal and so artistic driven, I felt like I was painting a scene, like really doing art on its purest meaning.’ Lyrics I’m sad But I cannot say why I just wanna lie in bed In my warm blanket I’m sad Seems everything is meaningless And its senseless living It’s all pretend I see everything black and white I take happy pills to control my mind Nothing fills the void inside So, just leave me alone tonight I’m sad Although I don’t look like And I can still be interesting But I have a hole in place of a heart I’m still sad So let me be alone As I’ll sing this song With verses so sharp Even the sun shines in my window And birds sing on the top of the trees I can’t hear a sound or smell the willow So I close my eyes to sleep Don’t wake me in the morning ‘Cause I wake up with bad mood Just don't come to my room, let me sleep in peace Yes, I’m sad Should I just kill myself? ‘Cause this is as boring as living So who can tell? I’ll still be sad Even if I live a hundred years And you'll be laughing at my wrinkles I’ll be old and sad The day passed Another day comes I’ll remain sad Sad, sad, sad Sounds Like

The acoustic guitar plus Abie vocals, goes till the pre-chorus of the song starts, where comes drums and piano and bass, transforming the song into a country ballad. Abie sings the song sadly enough to make us remember of a lover we no longer have. The chorus of the song comes in full form, and even Abie raises her vocals a little bit, while she sings the desperate and hopeful lines of the chorus, here Abie wants to make clear she’s recovering and she wants to change and she’s even trying to. The second strophe slows down the melodies of the chorus, but keeps the drums and the bass with the acoustic guitar and in fact this structure gives us the exactly feeling of listening to an old country song. Again come another chorus, but right after it ends, comes the song final strophe where violin is added and Abie finally drops all her usual vocal potential to sing the last lines of the song, actually this final strophe is basically the same notes of the chorus, but the lines are different, now Abie is strong enough to be mean, and wish the same worst feeling she’s feeling to her past lover. Being the first time Julian is working with Abie Lena after he took part of Studio60, he did an wonderful job by leading Abie t a new field of genre, she has never experimented before, and let’s say that Abie is usually linked to dramatic and extremely sad songs, so in this one he made a great job by uniting the queen of broke up songs with the massive broke up melody, the country music. Quote: ‘I think this is probably my most known single, It's always a pleasure to perform it, because the fans help me to sing it’ Lyrics How did we end up like this? You left me alone, running away with my bliss And still, I’m trying to recover myself Please can someone throw water in this hell? Despite everything you did to I've lost my faith I still believe, I'll retrieve All my missing pieces And someday you’ll taste the same fear Catch the fire of my soul And burn all the memories, leave blank my world All the hate and rage that are drowned in your soul Won't let you be happy till you let them go Despite everything you did to me and all the hate Even though I’m broken and I've lost my faith I still believe, I'll retrieve All my missing pieces And someday you’ll taste the same fear Long ago I used to feel Like you were everything I thought to be real I'd never thought I could be such a fool By placing my trust in you Despite all the hurt and even now I'm all alone I know you’ll be worse than me I know someday you'll pour the same tears I still pour these tears Sounds Like Edited by user 23 October 2020 12:42:59(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

The song lyrics are connected to the storyline of the conceptual history of the record. This part of the song represents the conscience of the main protagonist of the story and its new form not as a human being but as a ghost as we can clearly perceive on the lines “Am I a ghost, or am I just in a transition / I don’t have a shape, but I have a vision”, other interpretations of the song is up to its listeners, Abie was always a singer to write about death and after death subjects, she often says that those are her biggest fears in life and that she’s afraid that she doesn’t have a former opinion on those matters. Musically the song receives influences of Indie rock and Soft Rock sounds, the fusion of instruments such as piano, acoustic and electric guitars, piano and drum combined form an almost spiritual jam sessions taking us back to 70’s rock and roll, except the violin, mandolin and other string instruments added to its sound which turns the song to something different and edge, but keeps the spiritual mood it has. The song overall has a sense of spirituality, the lyrics are obvious enough to represent that, but it combines perfectly to its sound. Abie voice sounds clear, soft and smooth in the begging but it progressively grows, to a wider range exploding into higher note sin the choruses of the track. Backing vocals add another texture to some parts of the song, making it sound a little epic. Quote: Lyrics When the wind cross through you And you won’t feel a thing It’s just that you don’t have skin And you speak but no sound Comes out of your mouth Just a pale and forgettable memory Wandering through the centuries Am I a ghost, or am I just in a transition I don’t have a shape, but I have a vision I was something before I was something before In the middle of a life I was stuck Forces that wouldn’t let me burst There was anger but it was long ago There was a glimpse of reality I was bonded Just a pale and forgettable memory Wandering through the centuries Am I a ghost, or am I just in a transition I don’t a shape, but I have a vision I was something before I was something before Uncertainties that brought me here Erased all my memory Till the end of the times I will wander Without knowing why I still exist Just a pale and forgettable memory Wandering through the centuries Am I a ghost, or am I just in a transition I don’t a shape, but I have a vision I was something before I was something before I had something before I had something before Sounds Like Edited by user 15 April 2015 08:06:20(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

In July 2014, it was announced that the album’s lead single would be a special track produced to be a lead single called “Where Immortals Live”, after the leak of the song, reports made clear that another track would be released instead regarding the leak of the first planned lead single, rumors that this track was “The Break Up”. However they kept the plans and released the first planned lead single. The plan to release “The Break Up” as a single was postponed and now revealed as the official second single of the conceptual album. "The Break Up" is an indie pop fusion with jazz and elements of pop rock, which Lena described as "not an ordinary break up track, because even though I have a couple of songs written with this theme, the aspects of this one is a little more upbeat than any other track that I’ve written." Produced by Rick Rubin, Abie Lena and Gia-Rose Hilton, the instrumentation infuses a 808 drum sequence, bluesy guitar riffs and an 80’s power ballads sensibility in other instrumentation of the track. Abie was responsible for the vocal production herself, first time she ever produced her own vocals with total artistic freedom gained by her record label. Rick produced the main instrumentation of the track but Gia-Rose added her “commercial touch to the track, making approachable and radio-friendly” as mentioned by Abie. Lyrically, the song follows the story of the main character called “Ghost” while it was alive and had its big break up. The song starts with Lena singing, "I finally figured out / although I was already flouted / you were my dearest doubt". Abie’s vocals are surprisingly sexy and warm, she almost whispers at some parts. Regarding the lyrics, Rick Rubin said "it's Lena’s most impersonal song in quite some time. In fact, almost every track of this album has no connection to Abie’s personal life, because we literally were writing music based on the story we created towards the conception of this project." The song pays reference to Abie previous works, especially her early debut album and her very first single “Fake Plastic Life” which was pop and jazz fusion. Abie has told that despite this record bears a conceptual story; it also summarizes Abie’s artistic work up until now, by adding all the elements and genres of music that she worked before on her previous albums. Quote: The performance at the FCA was a big moment, I cannot forget to mention that Jude Law is a huge part of this song and I really like the reception of people over it, they were not like overeacting, they were enjoying the artistic aspects of it, so I guess that it's a remarcable single Lyrics I finally figured out Although I was already flouted, you were my dearest doubt Now it’s time, to start again But this time you’re not in my plans I’ve grown I’ve changed You never loved me And you were the first to break the agreement I was a fool But love is not always blind and this is my statement Go and move on with your life I release you, this time So go on and live on your own Move on with your life I’ll be fine, I’ll be good I’ll be safe, I’ll be good I’ll be well, so so well I’ll be good I’ll be fine, I’ll be good I’ll be safe, I’ll be good I’ll be well, so so well I’ll be good If this all mean, we don’t owe, Nothing for each other Then we’re not bound by unbreakable bonds I'm tired of being left behind I hope she’ll be better than I ever was You cannot hide your flaws You never loved me And you were the first to break the agreement I was a victim You and she definitely were made for each other Go and move on with your life I release you, this time So go on and live on your own Move on with your life I’ll be fine, I’ll be good I’ll be safe, I’ll be good I’ll be well, so so well I’ll be good I’ll be fine, I’ll be good I’ll be safe, I’ll be good I’ll be well, so so well I’ll be good Sounds Like Edited by user 15 April 2015 08:16:42(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

It starts with a percussion-driven jazz melody which later is incorporated with backing vocals and electric guitar. Abie has an incredibly ironic and funny tone on her vocals. There also the addition of bass and piano leading the song to a softer blues. Right after the first chorus of the song, there’s a break moment where another electric guitar is introduced and then it goes with the song till finally Abie reach the pre-chorus of it and it comes back to the original structure presented before. In the stripped-down piano bridge Abie's vocals carry a twinge of sweetness before the chorus starts strongly and surprisingly ironic. The final chorus is louder than the other ones, but it’s because of the full melody structure the song took before it ends in the piano. Abie give us a very unique style while singing this song, she’s sounding ironic and acidic, it’s like if she’s laughing the same time she’s singing the song. Lyrics are about Abie getting all of her confidence and self-acceptance back, she’s telling her boyfriend to never comeback anymore because she’s sick of him and now she only cares about her and even more she’s telling him that he was not good enough for her and that’s the reason they broke up, a little too selfish for Abie, but still very original. Quote: we were going to shoot the video for this song and I wasn't feeling so well, we had to cancel the filming and some weeks after I found out that I was really sick, It's sad that a single like this didn't receive a video to promote it, I think this song is really cinematic. but whatever Lyrics You think you know You said I was too young and immature But you don’t know Just because you lived longer, or 'cause you are old No I don’t agree Baby I think it’s better if you disappear Take your things I’ve sick of your lies I’m so over you And you don't need to try You don’t have Anything I could use for And baby I don’t want to see you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore You look at me With punishing eyes as if you could judge me You think I’m a fool Just ‘cause I didn’t have a story like you do You should know it's my choice I rather be a fool than be all coiled Haven’t you realized, you’re not that much? Take your things I'm sick of your lies I’m so over you And you don't need to try You don’t have Anything I could use for And baby I don’t want to see you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore And today I ask, someone will show you That love isn’t just taking all for you If you were humble, there weren’t all these tumbles You really don’t know how to love But someday you’ll see it, someone will make you feel it That you don’t know anything Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Baby hit the road Don’t want you anymore Sounds Like

This simple melody follows Abie amazing vocal performance till she reaches the first chorus, where the song receives backing vocals, based on old gospel songs, and a faster drum sequence. Abie's singing gives the listener an ironic and sometimes sarcastic intonation. The song follows the same structure ‘till the end, the only changes keep on Abie’s singing sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes rusk, in an unique style. Quote: I should call John Hill to work with me again in the future, I think we did some amazing songs together like this one. I love my soul and Motown roots, it's still inside of me, even though my last albums are abit far away from those influences, but I guess I'll be back anytime soon, maybe... Lyrics Life has passed by my eyes Like a bullet cross the sky And Now I know I lost the chance of my life When time is not a friend And we tried to pretend I locked in my old box all of our remembrances Well, you seem very well You got yourself a fairy tale Living a good life and I'm at this hell Do you still remember what we were? The times we spent together In few days before my heart tore Our love was a summer’s heat And as heat it cools quickly You have a new life, I have a disguise Fake, like a plastic Life I just want you know there is no regrets Since you're gone I started all psychic therapies But it’s fine after all Guess I was not made to love So many times I spend looking at the clock Even if I waited for you, probably we would get through I always took the first steps when you should had I have said so many prayers, for you to change your head But all I got back was a kick in my ass Our love was a summer’s heat And as heat it cools quickly You have a new life, I have a disguise Fake, like a plastic Life Now I live alone Faking a smile on my own Just to not show I'm hollow Our love was a summer’s heat And as heat it cools quickly You have a new life, I have a disguise Fake, like a plastic Life I heard you think I’m all right Well that’s what I show outside Didn’t you think, I have pride? But I live alone Faking a smile on my own Just to not show I'm hollow Our love was a summer’s heat And as heat it cools quickly You have a new life, I have a disguise Fake, like a plastic Life Our love was a summer’s heat And as heat it cools quickly You have a new life, I have a disguise Fake, like a plastic Life Sounds Like Edited by user 15 April 2015 08:44:03(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Before a short stop on the melodies the song comes back to its original funeral march to continue the second strophe and the same goes like the first till the chorus again. The song has a break down melody where a classical church piano enters followed only by that old jazz drum sequence, this is the most sad and tragic part of the song. Despite all the darkness surround this song’s melody, it is a fast song, and the lyrics are really funny to hear, it is about a hooker giving up of her lovers, cause she is sick of that life, to make the song funnier Abie sings in a ironic tone, her voice is not so clear like the first song, here we can perceive some old effects on her voice, just like in old radios. Quote: Lyrics He comes with the twilight With his white shirt and jeans tight He entered the door, I was high He asked: "what is wrong?" I said It was so fun I've accepted my role He'll come back to his wife I'll drown my sorrow with his lies Waiting him till the next twilight He and I are sinners In this bed we made her tears Don’t fill me baby, with your lies You cannot hide In every morning you will Comeback to your … wife I'd had loved you more Yet you don't deserve I know, so well, your lust But in me you could trust You may leave me to stay with her But I told you, I accepted my role Don’t fill me baby with your lies You cannot hide In every morning you will Comeback to your... Don’t fill me baby with your lies You cannot hide In every morning you will Comeback to your … life You’ll Comeback to… You’ll Comeback to… Don’t fill me baby with your lies You cannot hide In every morning you will Comeback to your...

Quote: I love what Drake made with this track, it's unbelievably good, sad and epic and so hypnotic, he certainly is a genius with his music, I think that we gained so much with his debut, his skills are incredible, when he first showed me the results of this track, I was so into the mood of this song, that I almost cried, it's incredible and I'm proud of the success it's making. Lyrics The cold embraced me And the silence stifled my reason It’s better not feeling anything Too strange to accept But sweet and affectionate Within its fragile glass dome, it’s insecure Don’t try to revive what’s dead long ago Don’t judge me for being so cold ‘Cause you can't see the scars of my aching soul Don’t wish forgiveness Gave up the lust All I hope is one day return to dust Don’t try to revive what’s dead long ago Don’t judge me for being so cold ‘Cause you can't see the scars of my aching soul Don’t try to revive what’s dead long ago Don’t judge me for being so cold ‘Cause you can't see the scars of my old soul Sounds Like Edited by user 06 May 2015 07:54:40(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

It as an electropop song, however it explores Abie’s art pop sensibilities. The song features Abie's "brooding croon" over minimal synthesizers and rattling drums. It can be compared to Abie’s previous album “The End Starts Now” which saw the use of mainstream pop genres like hip hop, mixed with classical and indie elements. The minimalist style presented in the song also can be compared to other tracks of her second studio album “Seasons” and the song of the same name, despite it does not have any influence of soul music, it has an apathetic tone that’s present on songs that Abie makes a self – analyses of her own persona. Vocals are controlled and low key on the verses of the track, in the chorus, there’s a spark to her voice which raises the key of the track and also adds some falsettos. The lyrics are straightforward and works as a warning to anyone who wants to understand what’s going through Abie Lena’s mind. She is often categorized as fragile and sad woman, but it appears that she has some rage in her, a rage that she tries to maintain asleep on her inner personality and that she doesn’t want it to be awaken for no circumstances, but she warns to not be tempted to show her devil side. It is a shift to her most depressed work and perhaps a clever way for her songwriting, which saw some criticism in her last album due to her often low self-steam. Lyrics I woke at dawn, I’m restless again Another sleepless night Staring the ceiling above my head Wasting my time Voices breaking the silence Are taking off my solace The noise brings me back conscience I look for serenity but I am anxious One at a time, I give up my dreams And spit my poison You said that I’m an angel But I’ve fallen for so long time You think you can untangle But I’m trapped in my own lies I run from you It’s only me hiding from the stir For it’s the only way By which you'll be safe Don’t tempt me, 'cause there is A reason why you hadn’t seen The worst side of me So you retreat, it’s better stay away You wouldn’t fill the gaps Of my heart in pain Don’t dare me, ‘cause there is A reason why you hadn’t seen The worst side of me Wherever I go these shadows follow me What it’s touched by my fingers tend to Spontaneously bleed You said that I was good But good is not enough You think you can unveiled me But I’m a lost cause Your persisting advances Your urgency decisions Your virtuous patience Has awaken the wost side of me So, I run from you It’s only me hiding from the stir For it’s the only way By which you'll be safe Don’t tempt me, 'cause there is A reason why you hadn’t seen The worst side of me Then you retreat, it’s better stay away You wouldn’t fill the gaps Of my heart in pain Don’t dare me, ‘cause there is A reason why you hadn’t seen The worst side of me Don’t tempt me, ‘cause there is A reason why you hadn’t seen The worst of me A reason why you hadn’t seen The worst side of me Sounds Like

Song Description With a pounding piano riff mixed with a heavy blues influenced drums sequence makes the base melody of the song. The song is increasing by harmonic backing vocals making it sound bigger and louder in the chorus and pre-choruses of it. Abie sings with a sarcastic tone in her voice, which by the way makes the song sounds epic in the high note parts, especially in the first lines of the chorus, where Abie holds a 5s note strong and high. The song is an up-tempo song. Abie has a simple writing process, her songs are really clear to understand, she said one time that her songs came straight from her heart, explaining that she sings what she was feeling in that moment, that’s the reason her initial lyrics are so straight foward, compared to her most recent works, this track reminds us the old soul of miss Lena's debut. Lyrics Take my heart I don’t want it anymore I lost the count of times it felt in love Every time I have a breakdown I spend a big time just to take me from the ground No, I’m not giving it to anyone I’m just throwing away in the garbage it deserves So take my heart away from me It makes me weak Starting from here, I’ll never love again Don’t care if you'll call me cold ‘cause now I'm unchain Starting from here, I’ll never love again Because I have enough of entanglements I’m gonna break free From this ultimate sin yes my heart was torn away So let it be thrown away There's so much to lose when you're open You give your love and you want to receive the same Those three words were never so longed From a person that has a heart of stone Starting from here, I’ll never love again Don’t care if you'll call me cold ‘cause now I'm unchain Starting from here, I’ll never love again Because I have enough of entanglements I’m gonna break free From this ultimate sin yes my heart was torn away So let it be thrown away I’m gonna break free From this ultimate sin yes my heart was torn away So let it be thrown away thrown away, thrown away, thrown away I’m gonna break free From this ultimate sin yes my heart was torn away So let it be thrown away Sounds like Edited by user 06 May 2015 07:52:20(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

This person is you! The Fans, so I start thanking you first, because it seems that I owe you all of this life that I’m living, which is like a dream that I never thought it could be real. So thank you and for that, I love you all so much! You can’t make incredible music, without an incredible producer behind you and there were a few people who participated into my musical journey, people who gave smart tips, people who wrote key words for the song, people who composed smash riffs and people who dedicated a big time of their lives to work hard with me in a studio for hours, days and weeks. For all of those folks, I say thank you! Rick Rubin, John Hill, Lilly Stuart, Julian Morello, Gia-Rose Hilton, Julia Volkova, Tisha Jackson, Drake Anton Zaslavsky. My band, who’s always with me on tour or on studio on in my private world, at home, talking about plans and dreams for the future, I feel guilty for taking you inside my world for over five years where we couldn’t rest enough, it was hard and lots of work, but it was fun because you were all with me! So thank you so much. My family, my mom and my sister, you are the sources of my hope. I wish I’ll be back, but I have to admit that I’m getting old, just like the song… But I’ll never forget the incredible journey we were in together so far… before I go, I just want to ask you, the fan, to wait a little while now, I’ll promise to comeback! I love you!
