As a music and theater student at Syracuse University, Anadara took advantage of the resources available to her, taking classes in Music Theory, Composition, and Music History during the day, and performing her own music to enthusiastic listeners in clubs across the city at night. Through frequent performances in Syracuse clubs such as Styleen's Rhythm Palace, The Stoop, No Borders No Boundaries, and Happy Endings, as well as solo radio presence (WAQX, WTKW, WAER) Anadara garnered sufficient critical and popular acclaim to win the area's highest musical honor, a SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music) Award nomination for Best New Artist.
While in Syracuse, Anadara also began working her way into the San Diego music scene, performing at California venues such as 'Canes, Blind Melon's and Brick By Brick. Her talents were soon realized by 92.5FM, a San Diego radio station that included Anadara's sunny salute to her home state, "California", on their compilation CD THE LOCAL FIX.
Anadara's music has also been sought after for several Cds released by SUR (Syracuse University Recordings). NO COVER BEFORE NINE, a collection of jazz influenced music, included her beatiful ballad "Next Time Around". Another showcase for exceptional S.U. musical talent, SIX STRING CIRCUS, featured performances of two more of Anadara's songs "California" and "Poisoned by You".
Following her departure from the college scene, Anadara set her sights on New York City, in order to pursue a career in music. She has performed at The Bitter End, a cradle of independent music in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village, and continues to study the art of songwriting through the National Academy of Popular Music.
Go
Anadara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come with me
Lay your burdens at my feet
Your my child
My desire and I've come to give you life.
Have I ever failed to rise or set the sun?
Fear will keep you down but my love will over come
Go into thee unknown
And I will light the way.
The lyrics to Anadara's song "Go" suggest a message of comfort and guidance for someone who may be going through a difficult time in their life. The first line, "Close your eyes, come with me" seems to encourage the listener to trust and follow the singer's lead, while also potentially indicating a sense of surrender to a higher power. The next line, "Lay your burdens at my feet" reinforces this idea, as it suggests an offering of support from the singer or the divine.
The third line, "You're my child, my desire and I've come to give you life," reinforces this notion of guidance and protection, as if the singer is a loving parent who wants the best for their child. The next two lines, "Have I ever failed to rise or set the sun? Fear will keep you down but my love will overcome" suggest that the singer has a powerful force behind them that can help the listener overcome their fears and adversities.
The refrain of the song, "So go into the unknown and I will light the way" repeats this message of guidance and assurance. It suggests that the listener should not be afraid of the future, but instead should trust in the singer's guidance and have confidence that they will be able to overcome any challenges that come their way.
