Creating beautiful celtic/historical infused music, she is inspired by many popular movies and tv shows such as Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit etc.
In her words: "I started writing and singing music as a hobby in 2010 and decided, rather bravely, to upload my stuff to YouTube for a bit of a laugh. Little did I know I'd gain such a gorgeous fan base of kindred nerds who understood and welcomed my world of music and encouraged me to make more. So that's what I've been doing. I've been happily building my little library of songs for over a decade now, still learning and loving this craft and still beaming delightedly with every new, cherished subscriber on YouTube. It's been an absolute joy and a privilege to do this full-time, and I hope to do it for many more years. Thank you so much for your kindness and support."

A love that has never been,
He was all that I knew
He was all was home
I am bound to the love of him
In the morn I'll be wed to the bonniest boy,
And I'll bind my hand to his
And bone of my bone
I am bound to the love of him
In dreams I am wed to a faraway boy,
A love that has never been,
He was all that I knew
He was all was home
I am bound to the love of him
In the morn I'll be wed to the bonniest boy,
And I'll bind my hand to his
He is blood of my blood
And bone of my bone
I am bound to the love of him
In dreams I am wed to a faraway boy,
A love that has never been,
He was all that I knew
He was all was home
I am bound to the love of him
In the morn I'll be wed to the bonniest boy,
And I'll bind my hand to his
He is blood of my blood
And bone of my bone
I am bound to the love of him
In dreams I am wed to a faraway boy,
A love that has never been,
He was all that I knew
He was all was home
I am bound to the love of him
In the morn I'll be wed to the bonniest boy,
And I'll bind my hand to his
He is blood of my blood
And bone of my bone
I am bound to the love of him
The lyrics of Karliene's song "Bound" describe the singer's feelings towards two different boys: a faraway boy who she dreams of being wed to, and the bonniest boy who she will be wed to in the morning. The first stanza mostly refers to the faraway boy who has captured the singer's heart, and even though they are not together, she feels bound to him by the love she has for him. She muses about how he has been all she has known and how he feels like home to her. In the second stanza, she speaks of the bonniest boy who she will soon be married to, and how he is her flesh and blood, implying that he is someone she shares a strong connection with.
The repetition of the lyrics throughout the song underscores the idea that the singer is torn between two different loves, one that is real and tangible, and another that is solely existent in her dreams. The song captures the emotional struggle that many people feel when they have to make choices between two different paths in their lives. Additionally, the lyrics speak to the idea of fate, and how sometimes we feel bound to certain people and experiences regardless of the choices we make.
Overall, "Bound" is a beautiful interpretation of the human experience of being in love and the different directions it can lead us in life.
