New Song: Warmth

So, it's been a moment. But I've been very, very busy.

1. I was in a concert production of RENT at my college. So much fun, but rehearsals were longlonglong and tiring.

2. In my downtime, I've been working on homework and final work, since the end of my first semester draws near.

3. I've been dealing with a few things...see new song.

Tis called "Warmth."

Make me feel good again, baby.
Love me down, sweet.
Make me know that I’d be crazy
To let you leave.

Cause I’m all for, all for you.

I don’t see a glitch in our scenery.
No chip in our paint.
Your logic will never believe me.
But I’ve no complaint.

Cause there’s no one else I see.



Now, for some news. I'm thinking of creating an actual album/compilation. Old and new, perhaps.
There's a concept in it, but that's for later...

Enjoy listeners/readers. =]

Song#5-"Simply Good"

Here's yet another awesome song about my bee eef.
It's very, very self evident and honest. As you can imagine, I was horrified when I finished it.

Take a listen. =]

Song #2-"Fool For It"

This one I wrote during the summer, when I was in the midst of falling for my boyfriend.
It's basically about how I really care for him, and how for once that's actually okay. Because..well..he's a really good guy.

The drum track makes me happy.



Soon, I'm gonna start posting some of my old stuff...tee hee..

Song #1 "Open Letter to the World"

I wrote this song last spring after getting rejected by Howard's Music Department. I was very down on myself at the time and was trying to motivate myself to keep doing the only thing I know how to do.

Check it.

This is for my music.

Pretty self explanatory, yeah?
Taking the advice of my super smart best friend, Christa, I decided to make a blog strictly for and about my music.

I suppose it's appropriate for me to have a biography or sorts...Ahem..

Manisia M. Larkins was born in Chicago, Illinois. Raised by her parents in various parts in and around the city, she harbored a love of music at a very young age. This is mostly her father's doing, who blasted Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind and Fire in the house from the time Manisia was born. Her father even claims that he was playing Donald Byrd's "Place and Spaces" album in the delivery room.
Manisia developed a talent for singing at the age of six when she discovered her voice was rather different from the other kids in school. She hasn't stopped singing and writing songs since.
She is currently a freshman at Howard University, studying music under some very influential professors. She hopes to become a music therapist whilst still writing and performing her own music. She also hopes to start a band.

So, listeners/readers..whoever you may be...enjoy...=]
