Little Sparks of Madness: Adelaide

Hi folks!

While browsing around for new music, I found someone who blew me away!

If you have not been introduced to the musical talent that is Meg Myers than you are seriously missing out! This 25 year old singer songwriter is living in LA and making some kickass music!

Her songs are a bit tortured and dark yet powerful and raw which makes you wonder about her past. What I did find from her Facebook Music page is that she used to be a Jehovah’s Witness living in Tennessee, she didn’t go to high school, she can sing, play the guitar, piano and bass. She began playing the piano and bass around 12, guitar by 13 and then started singing. Around 14 she was playing in her brothers band but branched out when she started writing her own music.

She’s been quoted as saying, “Songwriting is something very private to me and I can’t be inspired or open up with just anyone.” (Source: http://pigeonsandplanes.com/2012/02/interview-meg-myers.html/2)

Take a listen to some of her music below- AMAZINGGGG!!! Adelaide is my favorite! Here are the lyrics:

I should pray for Adelaide but she wouldn’t win this fight

Black and blue dear Adelaide

So many scars to hide

Waving my hands you don’t break and you don’t understand

Lie to my face run away you’re just that kind of man

Every moment I surrender is such a waste of love

You can’t hold me down boy tell me what the hell you want

I don’t want to cry about it I don’t want to fight about it I just gotta let go I just gotta let go

I don’t want to cry about it I don’t want to fight about it I just gotta let go I just gotta let you go

I should pray for Adelaide but she don’t hear a god damn word that I say

Oh I’m so ashamed of Adelaide how, do you justify every moment he takes
