A Diamond For Marina

about

Some of the facts that made Μαρίνα-Λαμπρινή Διαμάντη my heroine was that she actually made an hit album using fundraising sites and bandgarage and she’s synaesthetic. Just like John Lennon I’m just dyslexic instead, so I thought that inverting the parts and coming out with a song called “A Diamond for Marina” was simply a genius idea! This song is to be counted on those who haunted my head for days slowly softly growing in my imagination just like heavenly plum cakes. Each part of the song was so clear in my head that everything came right into place when I it was time to recorded it. Except when it was time to record the “Brian Wilson Sequence” two months later in the studio, finding myself in the difficult position of having forgot some parts of the puzzle of what I was meant to sing! The other thing I like of this song apart of having done an unbeatable job with the lyrics and its catchyness is that you can really find a lot of influences from singers that really meant a lot for me during the years. I have to tell you: in my opinion it’s the best song I’ve ever dun! I’m really proud of it. Not so much about some references on a certain “Italian Trash Song” in the lyrics during the “B.W. Sequence”. Sorry Marina and listeners, but I just HAD to do that! Just like it happened for the song, its video it’s really growing on me as well. But it’s too expansive, guess I’ll never have the chance to do that.

lyrics

They say it last forever
Not like all the other things
You’re heart is a gemstone
could break into my dreams
just like burning stars
your eyes are made of carbon and I can’t pretend to handle your superlative walk

I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
A Diamond for Marina
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
A bible for a ritual
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
My pretty ballerina
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
A Diamond for Marina, Yo!

Maybe in Hollywood
in a sparkling little place
Elvis meets Marylin
Stealing cherry anc champaigne
A taste of happiness
I want to prove myself that there’s a chance to take your hand in mine, your whole life too

I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
A Diamond for Marina
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
A bible for a ritual
I ga ga ga ga ga ga
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
My pretty ballerina
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
A Diamond for Marina, Yo!

I felt in love…
In love with Marina
A brunette girl
She just don’t care my name is…

I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
A Diamond for Marina
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
I’ve gotta buy
A bible for a ritual
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
I’ve gotta try
My pretty ballerina
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
A Diamond for Marina, Yo!
