Thank you to Shobhna for starting the thread hug.gif

Majandra's songs all have a deeper meaning, dweeling in deep, dark matters. According to you, what do you think a song or songs of hers mean? Also, is there a song you can relate to?

ETA: The actual poll, I forgot to post it before blush.gif

Hi Shobhna, thank you for starting the thread but we have a music thread going where Majandra's lyrics are discussed. I'm going to close this for now since it's a duplicate thread but when we finish the current one I'll reopen it instead of starting a new one grin.gif. I'm going to repost your question on the other thread located here:

Thanks

Hi Everyone, I've been trying to do the poll for this thread but I keep on getting errors. I'll try tomorrow.

Thanks for starting the new thread, Shobhna and Val. grin.gif

Didi, I absolutely love your banner. grin.gif

I love all of Mo's songs and her album is one of my most played. When I was going through some difficult stuff a year or so ago I found that her lyrics really helped me through it.

I still have not purchased majandras CD. I am waiting on her site to come back and work to buy it online.......is it cool? How does she sound?
Vallygirl
Betty, Mo sounds great and her songs are amazing. I will admit they aren't for everyone but if you like her style of music, you would love her music. welcome.gif to Majandra's board

i recently fall for HERMES PURSE-the mp3 i've heard wasn't the best quality but i hope i'll have a chance to hear it clearly.The song is great-funny and optymistic and is totally rising my mood up smile.gif

I haven't hear all of Le Prince Blue but I love the little bit I've heard, the lyrics are cool, although I don't understand the french part lol.gif

My favorite lyric is bruises though, cause when I first heard it it was just in a moment where it was really, maybe not helpful, but it made me think. and made me see the right choices, somewhat.
Vallygirl
Just saving this thread from hitting page two nono.gif. So you ladies who went to Paris, what can you tell us about Mo's new song "MAD"?
nephelite
Oh I loved the new songs. MAD is just stuck with me but Not Over You is my fav so far. It sounded so great and I canīt wait to hear it again.
candyspark
Not Over This is my favourite too, although I absolutely love I'm Mad. Mo described Not Over This as being "very dramatic" which I'd agree with. I can't wait to have those songs on CD. grin.gif

Oh, since I heard I'm MAD and Not over this during the concert, I've been wondering what the lyrics are about. I totally can't understand lyrics when they're sung in English, so could you maybe tell what she speaks about in thoses 2 songs please? That'd be great smile.gif
Zee
I have to go with the Paris Pixies here. I just love MAD and Not Over This. I can't wait to hear them again. I can't wait for the new album grin.gif
nephelite
Is it not over this or not over you?

QUOTE(nephelite)

I think she said 'not over this' but I could be wrong...
Zee
I thought she said Not Over This, because I remember I said something about not being over a situation or something like that.
nephelite
I could bet that she said not over you.
Well we have to ask Didi. She knows it.

BTW, itīs not really about Moīs music but I just wanted to say that you should keep an eye on MTV/MTV2 and/or VIVA/VIVA+ (if you live in Europe) because my brother told me that he saw Mo with Wilmer Valderrama in Cypress Hillīs new video *Whatīs Your Number*. I asked him if heīs sure that it was her and he said 110% sure.
I actually canīt imagine that it was Mo. I think that he either confused her wth Marieh or another actress because he already confused her once with Dominique Swain.
But the fact that Wilmer is in it makes me wonder if it might be Mo since they are friends.
Iīve looked everywhere to find the video but my computer wont work and I couldnīt watch them. I really want to know if itīs Mo.

Here are some links for the video. If anyone can watch it please let us know if itīs Mo.
If itīs not Iīm gonna kick my brotherīs ass.

Thanks for the link, Marica. I'l ltry watching and tell you. smile.gif
shobhna guerin
Ok, The MTV one is extremely unclear. i can barely make anything out. sad.gif let me try the other two.
shobhna guerin
Oh my god, ok, i saw a really distorted version of it, but there is one person who DID look like Majandra!! oh my god, someone else watch it too!!!
shobhna guerin
Marica, your brother means the girl who walks in talking on the phone right??? Right???
nephelite
He said that she was blond with curls and that she had something black on and was dancing around.
Didi
I had seen the clip on MTV already and was now all shocked that I didn't notice Majandra in it, so I watched it twice again now and there is only one girl with curls and she is dancing and it's for sure not Majandra. So false alarm you can all calm down now wink.gif I would have been really really surprised since I think she said she wouldn't be in music clips, and only maybe if her favorite singer asked her and I guess Cypress Hill isn't that... confused.gif

Oh, and Mo's song...or the name is 'Not Over This' smile.gif
nephelite
Thanks Didi. So I can kick my brotherīs sorry ass?! When he told me I also thought of the Q&A and how she said that she would only appear in a Björk video.

Also thanks about the song. I really thought that it was Not Over You because I remember thinking something when she said the title (canīt say it here but Didi might know what I thought because she thought the same)
Vallygirl
LOL Marica, kick your brother's butt wink.gif as to why you thought what you though I think I know what you mean too wink.gif...LLTE right grin.gif.

Okay, I'm not following here. What are you talking about Marica, what did you think? I didn't think it. Why didn't I think it?

MM4ever1717

-Sarah.
mairead_pt
Yeah, still waiting on info about the new cd too. :/

Also, did anyone notice that the song with Robert is actually "Le prince bleu", instead of "le prince blue" (written on the poll).

Yeah, I'm a French nitpicker... wink.gif

I think we are all waiting for info about the new CD. But there are a few good things that will keep us going until we get some. First it's the new video grin.gif
nephelite
Oh yeah I canīt wait for the video. I mean the teaser was already awesome. Just imagine how gorgeous the video must be.
I just hope that we get to see it.

Yeah, the teaser was great. I can't wait to see the whole thing. If we are lucky it will be on Majandras web page so that all her fans are able to see it.
nephelite
Yeah I hope that itīs on her website. Actually I hope that he site will be up soon with new songs. I just canīt wait.
Mo said new album in summer which is not that far away.
Zee
Don't you think that she will wait with putting her new songs on the net since they are coming out on the new CD this summer?
shobhna guerin
Um, I think the songs on her stie are gonna be her old ones???
Vallygirl
I think Marica means the three additional songs besides the six from The Sicks like Karma (I think thats one of the ones Lisa mentioned) and yeah a lot of us have heard it at different places ut we've never really heard a clean version of the song without a lot of background noise. At least I think that's what Marica meant.
kashinn
While I enjoy pretty much all of Majandra's music, Ski-Ming has always been one of my favorites. It was the first one to draw me in and show me how talented Majandra was as a song writer. I love how dark and seductive it is...I think smoky might be a good word for it.

Right now though, I'm on a Heaven Sent kick. I can really identify with that song at this point in my life.

Does anybody have the complete lyrics to Hermes Purse - there are a few parts I can't quite make out. I like the upbeat tongue in cheek humor in the song and the Johnny Cash reference to "a boy named Sue".

Keri
Vallygirl
Actually Lisa posted that the songs won't be available on the website because The Sicks is going to be rereleased grin.gif and Majandra said she is hoping to have the second cd released this year. Lisa also posted that Majandra has signed with a new producer.

Also on the news thread has a link to RoBERT's site that has a interview with Mo and a clip of the video grin.gif.
Vallygirl
Ok this was on page 2 so I thought what a good way to bump it but to a link for the livefeed from one of Majandra's concert at CBGB. You do have to pay a 3.95 fee I believe, it's been a while since I've been there but if you are interested and have the funds I would recommend it.

Thanks for the link Val! It was definitely worth the $3.95 and it's probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing Majandra in concert.
Vallygirl
Tell me about it Keri, it's probable the closes I'm coming to seeing her too.
kashinn
I don't know if this belongs on this thread. If not, sorry!

I heard Sci-Fi Lullaby, Majandra's old producers, singing Behavior. Does anybody know if she wrote it, if they did, or if it was a group effort? I like the way they sing it and it's the complete 4 minute version, not the little exerpt we were teased with on Roswell. Here are the lyrics and where the track was recorded posted by the band.

This song was recorded while opening for Tori Amos and Alanis Morrissette in Phoenix. We played to 10K people. It was grand.

Lyrics

You're like an angel with the sweetest smile
But when you use it you're one evil child
But that's what brings me back again

We get along but only half the time
The other half you're just a friend of mine
And that's what brings me back again

I love you on your best behavior
I love you more when you are doing something wrong
But nothing's wrong with me

You said you liked it yesterday
Now you're telling me I can't stay (no way)
It's all your crazy f*cked up ways
That bring me back

And when you speak its such a lovely sound
Although your words they only put me down
And that's what brings me back again

I heard a rumor and I think it's true
You kill the people that get close to you
Let the reputation slip away, what do you say?
Oh baby doll...
candyspark
Keri, I'm not 100% sure and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think Majandra's old producers wrote Behavior. Again, I'm not sure if it was written for her character or if it was a song they donated to the show for her character.

Diane wink.gif
Vallygirl
Diane, I think your right that her producers wrote the song.
kashinn
I think you guys are probably right. I was just listening to their CD this weekend, and it sounds more like something they would write. I just know how dedicated Majandra is about singing her own material, and thought I'd ask.
Vallygirl
Keri, that is one of the things I admire about Majandra. She's not out just to be the next pop star. She could have done that a couple of years ago when she was signed to that label but she opted to exercise the clause in her contract to leave the label if they were going to change her music too much. It's nice that she is keeping her integrity and not being a sell out.
kashinn
Val, That's also why I admire Majandra besides her natural talent.
