Meant

I have been getting a lot of questions in regards to when the video will premiere.

The answer is: very, very soon:) We are sorting out dates and details. Stay tuned!

I am very excited about it and can't wait to share it with the world.

A side note: this video - just like the Dreamer music video, but definitely more elaborate and involved - is a part of the story of Beatrix... yes, I am playing Beatrix in it, so in a way it's my acting debut;)

But for now, to tie you over, here is a photo of yours truly snapped by i102fly at the Meant video shoot:

 

on the road again

I am incredibly tired, and yet buoyant. 

Yes, buoyant - I love this word - it is one of my favorites in English - and I have been waiting to use it in the recent days, so here is my opportunity.

In case you are wondering: buoyancy is a good thing.

The video shoot went so well. We had such a difficult time making everything come together in a very short time - but come together it did. Last night, as we opened some champagne, the feeling was of that best (in my opinion) variety of satisfaction when, against all odds and through ups and downs, the pieces of the puzzle fit in a beautiful pattern and the final result is almost more than what you expected of the best possible outcome.

I learned that I can act - and now I actually want to take some acting lessons because I found myself enjoying it, quite unexpectedly. Who knew!

I have so much to look forward to - and for once - I am not afraid. I have no idea what the future will bring- but I have done so much already. I have given 2012 my full and undivided attention. The music is out there. The story of Beatrix will grow and spread far and wide. And a vital emotional piece of it - Meant - and the video, which we shot as part of the larger story - will be out there soon, as well.

 

Tomorrow we are flying to Seattle and driving to Vancouver to perform. I am opening for an amazing group - James - and it's a string of 10 dates this time, terminating in San Diego on April 19th.

Onwards. With or without a map.

But definitely with a compass:)

 

 

Do you want to be in my video?

We are getting ready to shoot the official video for my single Meant.

There is a story in the video - which is also part of the bigger story of Beatrix.

The performance part of it is being shot in Los Angeles, this Tuesday, April 3rd at a wonderful club mid town Los Angeles called 'Fais Do Do'.

You would need to dress swanky (think cool jazz club attire with Mad Men vibe, but not too retro).

The shoot is 7-10 PM sharp.

Come be immortalized in my music video! You would be part of the listening audience, as I perform and then... but I can't give away the story here;)

Email our Production Coordinator Celina Reising at cmr@celinareising.com  if you want to be there (we need a definite head count and your info to email you final instructions).

We can't pay you - alas - but you would get a credit - maybe be in the shot - and - and! - a physical (freshly printed) copy of:

here it is!

(not yet available anywhere else & with special poster of the Beatrix story inside)

 

...plus I will love you forever, I promise!

I am home... but not for long.

The tour with Sinead O'Connor was wonderful - we have lots more pictures and footage.

And I have a photo of Stonehenge, taken by my tour manager, which has an alien in it! (yes, seriously).

It has been, however, a difficult few days. I am no stranger to emotional ups and downs, and all to often they should be ridden out like a roller coaster and not ignored, because there is always a reason behind them. As it stands, I am going to write and record now for a few days. It helps me lose time, but also find a catharsis and a healing.

Another week and I am back on the road, this time opening for James - it's a West Coast tour.

For now, here is something, too - the first from the Home Sessions:

 

I am in London!

And tonight is the second show, opening for Sinead O'Connor.

 

Man, what a voice. She is absolutely mind-blowing live. And so cute!

 

And here is something, too:

Odi et Amo lyrics - from Beatrix Runs.

You told me that you loved me

And kissed me in the street

I felt your arms around me

Like ground beneath my feet

 

You promised me forever

That wouldn’t have to ask

Your poems were so clever

I never saw your mask

 

You gave yourself so freely

I couldn’t even see

It wasn’t you, who smiled right back at me

 

 Odi et amo, odi et amo

Meus carus hostilis

(my beloved enemy)

Odi et amo, Odi et amo

Ego exuro vobis

(I burn for you)

 

I’m not afraid of darkness that walks the city streets

Betrayal is the one thing

That brings me to my knees

I thought you were an angel

My rescue from this hell

But devil was an actor

Who played his part too well

 

You vanished in the shadows

And suddenly I knew

That I would give my life to be with you

 

Odi et amo, odi et amo

Meus carus hostilis

Odi et amo, Odi et amo

Ego exuro vobis

 

I don’t mean to leave it up to fate

Love is just another side of hate

It’s flowing through my veins

It burns me from within

The line between the lover

And enemy’s grown thin

 

Too late for this sinner to be saved

Your heart is the mystery I craved

You’re pushing me too far

You’ve brought me to my knees

When pain becomes the pleasure

And torture feels like bliss

 

Odi et amo, odi et amo

Meus carus hostilis

Odi et amo, Odi et amo

Ego exuro vobis.

one day my Prince will come...

Remember I said there were frogs at the video shoot?

he sat there, quietly

in the palm of my hand

wondering if the end was nigh

or if this was his chance

to jump over the moon

and leave the lovestruck human female

alone and wondering forever

in the misty wood.
