„Although my songs do not all bear a religious acquisition, I think that the inspiration to write and the gift to sing are the most beautiful presents life could give me.“

As far back as she can remember music has always been a part of her life. Mariama would sing and dance for her family later on in the school choir and in musical groups. When as a teenager she found her mothers old guitar at her grandparents' house she began learning to play it and soon started writing songs. It is still that old guitar she writes most of her songs with.

Mariamas sight of affairs are also reflected in her songs. Center of the songs are the manifold senses and life situations. joy, melancholy or pain, loving or desperation, her own story or the one of others- everything finds its place in her songs, which are always borne by her vocals and her guitarplay.

„This music could be charcterized as acoustic soul, at least I think that this matches best at the moment. Its always difficult for me to define myself personal, as well as musical. The way I like to listen to different styles of music in different moods, that’s how each one of my songs arise from a different moment and a different feeling.“
In the meantime Mariama has accured enough of these personal feelings and snap-shots for a whole album and is ready to permute this.

“I think it will be a musical journey on which me and my listeners will be taken... from acoustic sounds to deep productions. It’s an open road!“

Easy Way Out
Mariama Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We could stay here or go anywhere
The world is wide but tonight we don’t care
Forget ‘bout your plans take your life and your friends
Cast all worries aside see where it all ends
Cause there’s enough in my head to let the devil be scared
To seize this day I got to chase it away

And don’t you know that

Life could be bright if we had sunshine all day
But why do the clouds come in so many ways
Tonight I’m taking the easy way out

Wish upon a star find a place for a dream it doesn’t matter who we are
It’s as easy as it seems we got what we need our souls and our feet
Horizon in sight come on let’s go for a ride
Let’s leave the shadows behind us don’t stop or they’ll find us
Too many souls go blind but we will go for the light

And don’t you know that
Life could be bright if we had sunshine all day
But why do the clouds come in so many ways
Tonight I’m taking the easy way out

Let’s leave the shadows behind us don’t stop or they’ll find us
Too many souls go blind but we will go for the light
Cause there’s enough in my head to let the devil be scared
To seize this day I got to chase it away

And don’t you know that
Life could be bright if we had sunshine all day
But why do the clouds come in so many ways
Tonight I’m taking the easy way out
I’m taking the easy way out
I’m taking the easy way out
I’m taking the easy way out

I’m taking the easy way out
I’m taking the easy way out
