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 is currently signed to Hollywood Records and her debut album “Unfold” was released on April 8, 2008.
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).
Feel
Marié Digby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like I gotta let go of the way it was before
Are your really there? Are you made of stone?
Am I talking to someone or am I here all alone
Are you alive, don't you feel, feel, feel?
Show me you're here, show me your tears
Don't you feel, feel, feel, feel?
Change my mind before it's too late
Are you alive, show me you're human
Can't you feel, feel, feel, feel?
Seems like you're stuck in a daze, slipping away, away
I'm sick of trying to reach you, can't you say what's on your mind
Baby we're losing the race to far behind, behind
Tell me that I'm not the only one who can try, who can fight the wall
Are you alive, don't you feel, feel, feel?
Show me you're here, show me your tears
Don't you feel, feel, feel, feel?
Show me, hold me, speak up and tell me something
Change my mind before it's too late
Are you alive, show me you're human
Can't you feel, feel, feel, feel?
Sometimes the words they don't get through
What really speaks is what you do
Open up, let me inside, just wanna find you
Are you alive, are you, are you?
Show me you're here, show me your tears
Don't you feel, feel, feel, feel?
Show me, hold me, speak up and tell me something
Change my mind before it's too late
Are you alive, show me you're human
Can't you feel, feel, feel, feel?
Whoa, wake up, are you dead?
Oh feel, feel, feel, feel?
Show me, hold me, speak up and tell me something
Marié Digby's song "Feel" delves into the frustration of feeling disconnected from someone who seems emotionally unavailable. The first line of the song, "Feels like I spent all this time talking to walls," sets the tone for the rest of the track. The singer is questioning whether the person they're trying to connect with is truly present or if they're "made of stone." They express a desire for the person to show them they're alive, to "feel, feel, feel" and "show me your tears."
Despite the singer's efforts to break through this emotional barrier ("I'm sick of trying to reach you, can't you say what's on your mind"), they feel like they're losing the race. However, they hold out hope that they're not the only one who can fight this wall and that the person on the other side will open up and let them inside.
The repeated refrain of "Are you alive, don't you feel, feel, feel?" reinforces the plea for the other person to show some sort of emotional responsiveness. The final lines of the song call out: "wake up, are you dead? Oh feel, feel, feel, feel? Show me, hold me, speak up and tell me something." The frustration and longing in the lyrics make "Feel" a relatable song for anyone who has tried to connect with someone who seems emotionally distant or unavailable.

I used to listen to this song as a depressed teenager at my first year in college. It was my favourite back then and I cried with this song so many nights. I rediscovered it now 8 years later and the feeling is the same. Kinda thinking that I was born broken the only difference is that now I'm used to it.
