Digby, had a normal childhood, but was always a little shy, feeling more comfortable hiding under the bleachers during high school football games than in front of a crowd. She started playing the piano when she was just four years old, and began to secretly write songs later 'after everyone had gone to sleep', even hiding them from her family.
While a senior in high school, the timid and nervous Marié Digby signed up for a talent show. Although she was nervous to perform, she went on anyway and the audience loved it. This would be the first of many performances.
She began University of California at Berkely in 2002 as a philosophy major. She was on the three-day schedule (she took all her classes in three days) so she would have more time to play with the new band she had formed. She was performing all over the Los Angeles area, including places such as the infamous Whiskey a Go Go and The Troubadour.
In 2004, the quiet Digby came out of obscurity into the public eye when she won the 2004 Pantene Pro-Voice competition with her song “Miss Invisible” (a song about growing up and feeling like you do not belong). The grand prize for the concert included working with a professional producer on an album, $5,000 and performing on stage with other top performers.
In 2006, the song “Fool” appeared on the Disney compilation album Girl Next, which includes many of today’s Radio Disney Stars such as Hilary Duff, Aly and AJ and Hannah Montana.

She released her first Japanese cover album, "Second Home" on March 4, 2009. She toured Japan, performed on radios and live shows to promote her album.
Digby released her sophomore album, "Breathing Underwater" to Japan + Asia (June 23, 2009) and the rest of the world (September 15, 2009).
Come To Life
Marié Digby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its currents, they control my emotions
There's just one stream that evades me, escapes me
It overflows when my heart's left open
Your feelings, are the one thing
Outta my control, it's not in my hands
Not knowing is killing me
We gotta let it grow
Like a flower under rain
Like a child's first day
Like a story's first page
Watch our love come to life
Love is not a thing to rush
It's a feeling you should trust
It'll be that way with us
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
There's no point in our predictions or wishing
The paths we're on are somehow connected
Cause you can't see around the corner
You wanna 'cause you're so afraid life'll leave you rejected
When you least expect it
Your feelings, are the one thing
Outta my control, it's not in my hands
Not knowing is killing me
Where's the way inside your soul?
We gotta let it grow
Like a flower under rain
Like a child's first day
Like a story's first page
Watch our love come to life
Love is not a thing to rush
It's a feeling you should trust
It'll be that way with us
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
Hands touch, eyes meet, electricity
No words, hearts speak what is happening
You want so bad to fall
You want to risk it all
But right now, it's not your call
Like a flower under rain
Like a child's first day
Like a story's first page
Watch our love come to life
Love is not a thing to rush
It's a feeling you should trust
It'll be that way with us
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
Come to life, come to life
Watch our love come to life
The lyrics of "Come To Life" by Marié Digby revolve around the idea of love and how difficult it can be to understand and control our emotions. The opening lines compare the singer's emotions to a river, implying that her feelings are powerful and difficult to control. She then goes on to talk about the one emotion that continues to elude her - the unknown feelings of her lover. She expresses her frustration at not being able to read her partner's emotions, and not knowing what's going on inside their soul.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to be patient with love, to let it grow and develop over time. The singer compares the process of falling in love to that of a flower under rain, a child experiencing their first day, and a story's first page - all moments of new beginnings and the potential for growth. The bridge of the song describes the intense connection between two people, with the electricity between them sparking without the need for words. Despite the desire to fall completely in love, the song acknowledges that sometimes it's not up to us - sometimes, love is simply not our call.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a river flowing through me, it knows me
I am aware of an internal force that controls my emotions
Its currents, they control my emotions
I am impacted heavily by my internal emotions
There's just one stream that evades me, escapes me
I am unable to fully control one aspect of my emotions
It overflows when my heart's left open
It becomes overwhelming when that aspect of my emotions are exposed
Your feelings, are the one thing Outta my control, it's not in my hands
Your emotional state is something I cannot influence or change
Not knowing is killing me Where's the way inside your soul? We gotta let it grow
I am struggling with not knowing how to understand and connect with you emotionally
Watch our love come to life
Experience the growth and development of our relationship
Love is not a thing to rush It's a feeling you should trust It'll be that way with us
Love should not be rushed or forced, it should come naturally and be trusted
There's no point in our predictions or wishing The paths we're on are somehow connected
Focusing on predicting or wishing for our future is pointless as our paths are intertwined
Cause you can't see around the corner You wanna 'cause you're so afraid life'll leave you rejected When you least expect it
Not being able to fully see the future and fear of rejection can cause anxiety and unexpected outcomes
Hands touch, eyes meet, electricity No words, hearts speak what is happening
There is a strong connection between us that transcends verbal communication
You want so bad to fall You want to risk it all But right now, it's not your call
You have a desire to take a chance and give yourself fully to the relationship, but the timing may not be right
