2) Marina Lima was known by the name Marina in the start of her career in 1980's. Since 90's she has used her full name, Marina Lima. Lima is a Brazilian rock singer.
Starting her career before Brazilian rock of the '80s was commercially ripe, Marina Lima witnessed its creation from a privileged standpoint and participated in it as a successful pop star since 1984. Her most regular partner has been her brother, philosopher Antônio Cícero. Her biggest hits are "Fullgás" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "À Francesa" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "Pra Começar" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "Nada Por Mim" (Herbert Viana/Paula Toller), "Eu Te Amo Você" (Kiko Zambianchi), "Ainda É Cedo," "Não Sei Dançar," and "Uma Noite e Meia." Her eclectic repertory features rock-tinged pop-dance music, blues, bossa nova, a typical samba-canção melancholy, and a very tiny pinch of jazz.
From five to 12, she lived in the U.S. where her father worked, and was taught to read in English before Portuguese. Attracted to psychoanalysis and music, Marina Lima (just Marina by then; she added her surname to her stage name in the '90s) started to write songs, opting for making a living in this career when Gal Costa recorded her "Meu Doce Amor" in 1977. The next year she formed a band that had a drummer who would be connected with the creation and the development of the Brazilian rock of the '80s, Lobão. Ricardo Barreto (guitar), Guto Barros (guitar), Zé Luís (sax), and Junno Homrich (bass) would also participate in that historic moment (they later became musicians of the seminal Brazilian rock band Blitz) as they were also in her band before the new genre took Brazil. Marina's first solo album, Simples Como Fogo (1979), already brought originals in the pop/rock style that would become mainstream in the next decade. But her first hit came in 1984, with "Fullgás," which had success with the title track "Me Chama" (Lobão) and "Mesmo que Seja Eu" (Roberto Carlos/Erasmo Carlos, here having its meaning altered as a confession of her bisexuality). Three years later, she appeared in the film Rádio Pirata (Lael Rodrigues) singing the main theme, which she also composed. With 15 albums released in Brazil as 2000, others were launched especially for the American market and dominated a period in which anxiety provoked a loss of voice; Marina Lima is one of the biggest divas of Brazilian rock.
3) Marina Luchenko-Szczesna (Polish: Marina Łuczenko-Szczęsna; Ukrainian: Марина Лученко–Ще́нсний; born 3 July 1989), known mononymously as Marina (stylized as MaRina), is a Ukrainian-Polish singer-songwriter and actress.
4) Marina Vénache, known as Marina on stage, is a French singer born on October 30, 1985. She started her career in the sixth season of the TV show "Star Academy" in 2006.
5) Marina Marqueza (currently using the name Marqueza) is a non-binary Japanese-Venezuelan artist, singer, and producer based in Salt Lake City, Utah making genre-fluid music from the bottom of their heart. They want to see the Salt Lake City art scene become more radically inclusive of the diversity of talent that already exists, and they put that intentionality behind every event they agree or refuse to be a part of. Marina loves Existimos, Patty and Graciela, and she wants to perform a set that is affirming and healing from their place as a queer person of color. Her debut album, Orbit Pluto, was released on January 1, 2019.
6) Marina, a Czech metalcore band from Prague.
7) Marina Nakamura(中村 真里奈, Nakamura Marina, born February 7, 1987) is a Japanese singer and songwriter from Miyazaki who is signed to 5pb. Marina debuted in 2010 singing songs for the anime television series Angel Beats! as one of two vocalists for the fictional band Girls Dead Monster. In May 2013, she made her major solo debut with the release of her single "Kimi Tsunagu".
Believe In Love
Marina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say that you're for me, I'm the one you're waiting for
Guess I need to trust you when you say you love me
Every day, you say that you've been thinking of me
And my mood, it changes all the time
I smile with tears in my eyes
But I can't be acting like this
Ooh
I need to believe in love
Why is what you give never enough?
Losing you is what I'm afraid of
I need to believe, believe in love
Stuck on fast-forward, always on the rewind
I don't trust my head, no
I don't trust my damn mind, no
Try to leak my memories, throw away the blueprint
Looking for a remedy, want it to be different from (From the one)
'Cause my mood, it changes all the time
I smile with tears in my eyes
But I can't be acting like this
Doubting you for the rest of my life
Ooh
I need to believe in love
Why is what you give never enough?
Losing you is what I'm afraid of
I need to believe, believe in love
Don't wanna look back when I'm older on what didn't happen
Let go of my thoughts, let 'em fly away, swear I'll be better
Shouldn't take fear so seriously
Mmm, seriously
Ooh
I need to believe in love
Why is what you give never enough? (Never enough)
Losing you is what I'm afraid of
I need to believe, believe in love
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
In Marina's song "Believe In Love," the lyrics reflect the struggle of trusting someone in a relationship while dealing with insecurities and doubts. The singer acknowledges that their partner claims to love and think about them, but their constant mood swings and trust issues make it challenging to fully believe in the love they share. The line "I smile with tears in my eyes" represents the conflicting emotions the singer experiences, torn between happiness and doubt.
The lyrics also reveal a sense of anxiety and fear of losing the person they love. They express the need to believe in love and question why it seems like what they receive from their partner is never enough to quell their doubts and fears. The repeated line "I need to believe, believe in love" emphasizes the singer's longing for reassurance and a stronger sense of security in their relationship.
Overall, the song encapsulates the complexities of navigating trust, insecurities, and the constant battle between believing in love and succumbing to fear.

anyone else been listening to marina for a long time and moved by her growth and how she expresses herself? im almost moved to tears, its so nice to see her believing in love after the messages of her past albums. its amazing, really.
@scarlett-moriko1543
Exactly!👏👏👏
Even Jesus himself has spoken on the matter 😂
@jongen6077
No she didn’t grow. Froot was and is in many ways so much better!!
@limiori9183
I agree. I'm so proud of how far she's come. It's so nice to hear her emotional progress.
@wpbn5613
@Jongen i preferred FROOT for several reasons, but she definitely grew in L+F. she's finally acknowleding her problems and instead of embracing them and wearing them as her aesthetic, her songs (especially in the second half of the album) are about her trying to solve her problems (especially No More Suckers and Soft to be Strong), and that's an improvement over her just being bitter and wistful about things she has no control over (Gold, Weeds, Savages).
@wpbn5613
@Owen Hopkins I like FROOT more because I feel like the thing is that it's the only album where the songs don't seem to blend into one another? Like, none of the songs stand out from one another because they all have something different to bring to the table, and it just feels like it has a lot more variety than her other three albums. L+F is pretty strong lyrically, but the thing is that it has 16 tracks, and FROOT which only has 12 tracks (unless you count INHA) covers more ground.
Fun fact: only one song in L+F is longer than 4 minutes. Meanwhile, only one song on FROOT is less than 4 minutes!

I really need y'all to get into the VULNERABILITY of this song... Basically she's in love with this person who's truly a great person but due to her fear she won't allow herself to be in love or embrace love in any faccet! Losing this person is her fear but she can't trust them due to the underlying fear she has and if she doesn't let go of that fear she just may lose this person... I feel like this song was a pep talk sing from her to herself cause as she stated she allowed fear to keep her from love and the fear of love to keep her from moving forward in life when she explained this album and this song definitely encompasses that message and struggle.. beyond just the Musicality of this song and it sounding good this song has LAYERS!!!
@avianchild
Ditto. You are absolutely right. This song resonates with me so much.

@diamantisxiii
Yes yes yes! I wish my ex could hear this, because this was his whole thing, he wanted love me, but didn't trust, and when I had the best intentions, and gave him everything, he still didn't trust, so he lost me. Mostly because of ghosting me, but still, the fear and insecurities pushed himself away from me.
