Welcome to Day 23 of the April Write 2013: a new era begins
Today’s challenge is a bit different as we are blessed with the voice and words of our Guest Host: Karen Stally AKA ZUWA
Zuwa, meaning ‘Sunshine’, is here to shed some light and warmth, with her musical style and unique blend of lyrical content. ZUWA has a passionate conviction that words are the seeds of life, and this is reflected in her lyrical content and expressions. She communicates through songs and poems, to inspire and challenge, provoke thought, stimulate, heal and edify. Although her artistic experience is vast, her development as a singer-songwriter has been a very personal process, making her songs intriguing and rich.
“The first song I ever wrote and completed is called ‘Nothing to Lose’. It was recorded in 2006 and weirdly began as a rap, but the lyrics were quite different..It’s a love song, yes. One that laments love broken, love lost… And then decides there is nothing left to lose in admitting the love is missed. It’s a liberating feeling when you reach that point where you take the fear away and allow the love to just be what it is. “
The topic for today is: ‘Nothing to Lose’
“Have you ever felt that way, about anything? Where you realise you have nothing to lose.. Maybe because you’ve already lost something so important.. Or because you realise that the only thing stopping you is fear.. And a life lived under fear is no life at all.. Hope you find some inspiration in my ramblings… & here’s some of the rap version.. Just for fun:”
“Stress free zone was the place that I rested
My breast on your chest we caressed manifested
Could it be love it was pure
From the start and for sure
Time went on and now we both be wanting more”
Sit back relax listen to the beautiful tones or our sister and friend Karen Stally (ZUWA)
