Marcie Presents: Behind The Lyric- Episode 2:

Are there any artists with whom you wish you could sit down, and as their track plays, ask them to speak of the story behind their music?

Now there is a radio show that brings this dream close to reality.

‘Behind The Lyric’ is a new broadcast produced by International Major Label Artist, Marcie.

The show is dedicated to giving a conversational touch to the vocals in electronic dance music.

Marcie asked some well known Singer/Songwriters in the EDM scene to speak freely about the meaning behind the lyrics of their own tunes.

‘Behind The Lyric- Episode Two’ features a stellar cast of songwriters and vocalists sharing their stories.

The spoken words of Marcie, Aruna, Anita Kelsey, Sleethief, Dhany and Colleen Kelly are mixed on top of their tracks, and the listener can journey intimately along with the artists and their music.

You can hear ‘Behind The Lyric’ on Marcie’s website as well as on various EDM stations including DI.FM, ETN.FM, Afterhours.fm and more! 

Here is a glimpse into what you will hear in Episode Two. 

Marcie discusses writing as self-healing.

She mentions how the passion and uncertainty surrounding an impulsive hook-up inspired her lyrics for ‘Know You’.

Her tune ‘Next To Me’ speaks of secrets and fantasies while being cryptically confessional at the same time.

Aruna speaks of writing ‘I’ll Be Waiting Here For You’ on a deadline, her approach to melody and rhyme scheme and her tips for aspiring writers seeking to better access their creativity.

Anita Kelsey reveals the surprising background stories for two of her most popular releases ‘Travelling Light’ and ‘First Time’.

She also touches on the intended meaning behind a seemingly controversial line.

Sleepthief’s Justin Elswick tells of the Celtic influence on the ghostly ‘Tenuous’, and his use of inverted metaphors in ‘Just Say It’ to convey the sense of taking a loss in order to break co-dependent ties. 

Colleen Kelly speaks of writing ‘Remember Me’ to capture the feeling of longing lovers have when they hope to be remembered across time and distance.

Dhany speaks of the risks we take when our hearts and minds disagree.

She tells of how her own broken heart inspired the powerful stance she takes in ‘Hit My Heart’, and her desire to celebrate strong women who command respect from men.

Future episodes in progress, and will feature incredible Artists with more riveting looks behind the lyric.
