About Me:

Do u sometimes feel like u don't belong? That everyone is walking around like their time on earth doesn't matter. They use big words instead of showing their big hearts. They follow because they are too afraid to lead. They cry because they think that so

Oh, 2 and 9 make 11 so it must be a good day. I haven't been doing a lot of myspace stuff lately because I am in this crazy song writing mode. U know what is crazy? The fact that there are certain teams who are famous for cranking out these big radio hits over and over again, so, of course all the artists will go and write with them to find THE song. But most of these people are super super normal, work from 9 to 5 and have kids. Of course, they are talented, but since they have had so much success, they are not hungry anymore, I really miss working with someone who is hungry, so I'd much rather write on my own and be so excited about these tracks that I can't sleep. I think people overall, forget that we are here for only a very short time so the least we can do, is to have fun. Not like self destructive getting fucked up fun but just pure, simple, childlike fun. I went to the desert with this guy Josh, who is a producer and he had a really interesting theory about when you are trying to make up your mind about something. He said there is 4 questions u are gonna ask from yourself: 1)Is this gonna hurt me? Obviously, when something is gonna hurt you, you stop. Easy in theory, not so easy in real life. 2)Is this gonna hurt anybody else? Every thought, word and action of yours is meaningful, so meaning other people harm will definitely come back double. Again, easy to say, hard to do, but that's why we're here, right? To overcome all this crap and become who we really are. 3)Am I gonna learn something from this? Always wanna learn something. Experiences make us who we are. 4)Am I gonna have fun? Yes! Fun is important. Life is interesting and colorful with all these wonderful people and places and weird nuances. Just enjoy everything you do. If you decide to sweep floors for the rest of your life, at least be the best fucking floor sweeper in the world and give people a smile when they walk by. So the keyword for today is FUN:) loooove k

you

You're so incredibly great and inspirational. I really hope you stay true to yourself and don't let the media take over your music. It would be such a tragedy to lose music as honest and real as yours is. Love you.

hungry?

This is great, It is incredible to hear another artist fed up with the success path set before the masses as an example on how to "get famous"

when these people started in the industry, they had a drive, for they had no money, and hardship brings enlightenment unless you are otherwise inclined in your life by some interesting process.
when real depth is seen by the masses they are not automatically in love with it but are inevitably interested in whatever it is you have to say- that is the lost form of art.

what sucks in the modern day society is that you need to make money to live, and "the american dream" is directly connected to your paycheck, when in all actuality you have to be happy to be happy.

enlightening conversation is one of the most important things that has ever been brought into existence; someone knowing something and explaining it to another. to "know" something is claiming your status over them and self indulgent, but I would rather be self indulgent and hated then carry idly-by and not make use of my mind.

regardless, Thank you for sharing. because that is the most important thing.

Atlas Shrugged

Kerli, Just discovered your music recently. I enjoy your lyrics very much and think you've got some very useful life experience to share with the world. I'm sure you're a very busy person, but while you're doing your thing you might check out Ayn Rand's book, Atlas Shrugged. I think you'll find some reflections of yourself and your line of thinking with this book. Yes, it's almost 1,200 pages long, but it's worth every moment of reading. Your thoughts about being "the best floor sweeper you can be" follow exactly with the philosophy of this book. Your experiences under communism should be shared with the world. I wish you the best of luck in your career and in your life. I hope you break through here in the US some time soon, it's a hard market to crack. Keep at it, you're a real life Dagny Taggart. (Read the book!) Best Wishes!
