Marla Glen Lyrics

These lyrics are about the journey of a struggling musician and the different people they meet and experiences they encounter as they travel around pursuing their passion. The singer met a man when she was 18 who played guitar and together they went to Detroit, the home of Motown music. They were both working for the music, living a free and possibly unstable lifestyle, taking risks to chase their dreams. The next stage saw the singer move to New York at 22, where she met someone who gave her a construction job during the day while she partied at night. The final stage of her journey took her to California at 25 where she met the legendary musician Nina Simone. Simone taught her how to write music and the singer played guitar in a local bar, showcasing her developing talent to new audiences.

The lyrics are raw and honest, reflecting the life of any aspiring musician trying to make it in a competitive and unpredictable industry. These are the stories of those who sacrifice stability for passion and it's no easy path. It takes time, determination and talent and sometimes, even more, to stand out and succeed. This person's journey takes them across the United States and comes to show how much one can experience from travelling to different places and meeting different people while doing everything for the love of music.
