Poetry Friday: Just Hold Me by Maria Mena

[slayground]

But if I wanted silence
I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness
I'd choose to go
And if I liked rejection
I'd audition
And if I didn't love you
You would know
- from the song Just Hold Me by Maria Mena

OMG!!!! I LOVE Maria Mena!! Do you have the album that that's from- Apparently Unaffected? I love that album, and Maria is such a great singer/songwriter.

I think my favorite song of hers, with some great lyrics as well, is Internal Dialogue. It's one of my faves to sing along to... which I may do in a minute, lol.

But Just Hold Me is fantastic as well, especially at the crescendo near the end. I love the part. Such a great song.

Ok, I'll stop gushing now, lol.
