A soft and slow piano melody is played as the curtains of the theater opens revealing a band with an orchestra of ten violinists surrounded by a very dark stage, and also very simple too, despite all the lightening the only scenery presents on it, it’s a Abie Lena Led sign above the bands head, the audience is in ecstasy waiting the first spell words by Abie in the opening number of the night, and as the piano melody goes slower than when it started, Abie comes walking from the back of the stage, smiling holding her microphone wearing a long black dress with her hair falling over her chest, sending kisses and saying hello to the audience, she starts to sing.
The unmistakable piano tune from ‘Broke up!’ is played and Abie starts to sing the song first verse putting all her emotional vocals out, making the audience quiet for the whole performance. With incredible notes, Abie transmits through her singing, the pain and the fury of this smash hit.
I looked at your brown eyes
And I realized that you’re leaving me
I looked at your tearful eyes
Yet you were so strong to hold your cry
Why has to be this way
My love wasn’t enough to bear the pain
Your voice was shaking but you handle it well
My heart was breaking slowly hearing every word
You were saying “We broke up!”
Don’t bother I’ll be alright
But please baby just, don’t you cry
I will live by my own
I’m not that young I have grown
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget
Remember the days we lied
In the grass talking about a future life
Remember when you said to me
That you loved me and we would marry
Your voice was shaking but you handle it well
My heart was breaking slowly hearing every word
You were saying “We broke up!”
Don’t bother I’ll be alright
But please baby just, don’t you cry
I will live by my own
I’m not that young I have grown
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget
And someday we'll stop to think
In all those sweet memories
The pain would be just a scar
And our love would be sleeping
Don’t bother I’ll be alright
But please baby just, don’t you cry
I will live by my own
I’m not that young I have grown
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget
It will hurt untill I forget
After the performance, Abie stops looking to the crowd as they cheers to her, she keeps looking for some seconds when she finally speaks with them.
Abie: Hello everyone! I’m so happy to be here tonight with all of you. I wish you all to have a wonderful night! This next song is more upbeat so let’s dance! This is ‘Heartbreak’
This performance is marked by Abie’s ironic looks and her highest fury vocal notes. She walks through the stage from side to side, cheering with the crowd and turning the show more upbeat then the first performance. For this song there’re drum beats, electric guitar riffs, piano and violin melodies, making it sounds epic and strong.
Take my heart I don’t want it anymore
I lost the count of times it felt in love
Every time I have a breakdown
I spend a big time just to take me from the ground
No, I’m not giving it to anyone
I’m just throwing away in the garbage it deserves
So take my heart away from me
It makes me weak
Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Don’t care if you'll call me cold ‘cause now I'm unchain
Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Because I have enough of entanglements
I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away
There's so much to lose when you're open
You give your love and you want to receive the same
Those three words were never so longed
From a person that has a heart of stone
Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Don’t care if you'll call me cold ‘cause now I'm unchain
Starting from here, I’ll never love again
Because I have enough of entanglements
I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away
I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away
thrown away, thrown away, thrown away
I’m gonna break free
From this ultimate sin
yes my heart was torn away
So let it be thrown away
Abie ends ‘Heartbreak’ with a killing long note she holds for 30 seconds, and right after it she starts to sing the next song. Her impersonation of an old hit from the 70’s, more specifically the James Brown’s ‘It’s a man, man, man world’ transformed into a fun and R&B song ‘It’s not the end’, this song is performed by Abie on her pedestal, she is lighted by a red light which turns the stage darker then moments before, Abie also grabs her pedestal to give more of a dramatic feel to this performance.
Lied in this bed I take my time
There is nothing else I could try
In this valentine day I’m gonna cry
And wash my heart from all the loneliness inside
Don’t worry baby, I’ll survive
Take your things ‘cause I’ve made up mind…
I’ll be alone in this valentine day
‘cause I had enough and you cannot stay
It’s better be alone than betrayed
Don’t bother baby it is not the end… for me
I’ll drink this wine till I get drunk
I’ll drop my hate as this bottle's up
Baby I won’t regret ‘cause you’re gone
I guess I have to love myself first and then love someone
Don’t worry baby, I’ll survive
Take your things ‘cause I’ve made up mind…
I’ll be alone in this valentine day
‘cause I had enough and you cannot stay
It’s better be alone than betrayed
Don’t bother baby it is not the end… for me
And if someone can bear
All the hate and still swear
That love is good
That we can be together
Then I'll tell them, things don't last forever…
I’ll be alone in this valentine day
‘cause I had enough and you cannot stay
It’s better be alone than betrayed
Don’t bother baby it is not the end
I said…
Don’t bother baby it is not the end
Don’t bother baby it is not the end… for me
Abie speaks with the crowd again.
Abie: Are you guys having fun? – The crowd cheers – Great! When I was officially working on my debut album, I had like a vision to write a song that would made people connect to it. This song should not be all sad; it had to be a powerful song, a song where people would take strength to fight for something better. This song, despite its departure melody, transmits this strength. I want to hear all of you singing it with me very loud! This is ‘Pimp’s Tears’
The cabaret inspired melodies of this songs, makes the crowd cheers and screams, this is probably the most fun song on Abie’s album, it has a funeral piano sequence plus a fast drum beat and some violin notes added with Abie suffered vocal notes. The stage gets totally green, and Abie’s vocal assistants dance a 50 dance routine behind their pedestals and so Abie does the same, this makes the performance looks more elaborated and fun to watch, the crowd kept cheering every line Abie sung of this song.
He comes with the twilight
With his white shirt and jeans tight
He entered the door, I was high
He asked: "what is wrong?"
I said It was so fun
I've accepted my role
He'll come back to his wife
I'll drown my sorrow with his lies
Waiting him till the next twilight
He and I are sinners
In this bed we made her tears
Don’t fill me baby, with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your … wife
I'd had loved you more
Yet you don't deserve
I know, so well, your lust
But in me you could trust
You may leave me to stay with her
But I told you, I accepted my role
Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your...
Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your … life
You’ll
Comeback
to…
You’ll
Comeback
to…
Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your...
Don’t fill me baby with your lies
You cannot hide
In every morning you will
Comeback to your … life
Now the band takes a brief break, the stage gets completely dark, till it is lighted up again, revealing Abie sited on a chair holding an acoustic guitar, she is ready to perform a cover, but before she reveals it, she talks with crowd once more.
Abie: I have a few artists that inspired me on life. Several of them are from the 60s and 70s. But I also admire nowadays artist too. This song belongs to, in my opinion, one of the best R&B and soul singers of this new era. She is not my sister but we share the same surname. This is ‘Who I am, who I am not, who I wanna be’ by Alicia Lena.
This cover is pretty different form the original version of Alicia. Rather than piano and drums, this performance has only acoustic guitars, three specifically, one played by Abie and other two played by Abie’s band mates. Abie sings this song adding her own singing style, but preserving the original tune of Alicia’s original version. The crowd went crazy when Abie said Alicia name. Abie sings this song sited down in her chair the entire performance.
I’m Sitting All Alone In An Empty Hotel Room
Singing Along To That Familiar Tune
Looking At Myself, Just Trying To Figure Who I’ve Become
Trying To Figure Which Part Of Me Has Won
So I’ll Ask Myself, Am I The Best Possible Version Of Me
Do I Take The Time To Thank The People Who Made Me Who I Am Today
Do I Thank The People That Never Stood In My Way
Do I Thank Them All, One By One
Will I Pay My Respects Once They’ve Gone
And So Instead, I’m Still Figuring Out
Which Part Of Me I Can Live Without
So I’ll Take Away The Bad And Work Hard On The Good
I’ll Take It All Away If I’m Misunderstood
And This Is …
This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To Be
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
I’m Cold And Lonely, Bruised And Shaken
This Is The Path I’m Walking Down
This Is The Move I’m Making
To Be … Me
And I’ll Keep Everything Wrapped Up Inside
But The Person I’ve Become, Shouldn’t Need To Hide
My Past Is My Past And It’s Refined To History
It Will Remain Hidden, Kinda Like A Mystery
This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
I’m Cold And Lonely, Bruised And Shaken
This Is The Path I’m Walking Down
This Is The Move I’m Making
To Be … Me
This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
So If The Person Looking Back At Me, Is The Person I Don’t Want To
I’ll Make A Change, Make Things Better, Not For You, But For Me
So This Is Who I Am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be
Abie stands up, for another acoustic guitar based ballad, the lights go dim, and she puts her hands on her chest like she was about feel bad about singing this song, Her voice is thin and soft in this performance, plenty of mobiles are raised up in the crowd to record Abie performs one of the most intimate song of her album.
If you walked out that door
Don’t come back anymore
I’m not your substitute lover
Don’t come back anymore
The clothes you left behind
I’m sending you tonight
There’s nothing I want more
Don’t comeback anymore
Nothing you could try
You waste all the lines
Our love story is a lie
There’s no more space to write
And when you’re not near me
I don't care you’ll miss me
'Cause now we reach the end
Don't you say you repent
Let the time flies
Time can untangle the ties
There’s nothing I want more
Don’t comeback anymore
I closed my heart away
To repair all the damages
So thanks for the love
But please…
Don’t comeback anymore!
Abie is loudly applauded, and after this beautiful cheering moment, she talks once more with the crowd.
Abie: Thank you! That one is really hard for me to sing live, but it’s worth all the way, makes me feel stronger. Ok, now I have another sad one for you. This is from a night I had a fight with my ex-boyfriend, we started to live at the same house, but you never know, you think you know the person you’re living with, but you really don’t know, so this day I just got so angry that I broke all the pictures we had on the walls and I burned all the letters he once wrote to me, and I wrote this ‘Leaving Home’.
Another piano based ballad, but with a violin orchestra sound, which is responsible to increase the song to a dramatic soul, gospel tune. Abie sings this song calmly like she is accepting the fact that she had to leave to be happy. The stage got bright while she sings this song, so the crowd can Cleary see the violin orchestra playing and accompanying Abie on her amazing but tired Vocal notes.
Broken portraits on the wall
There is not much to crow
Left the silence kills this life
Hurts your heart twice
No this time we cannot handle
This time we cannot fight
This time we crossed the line
So I think its better
For us to be apart, so distance
I see clear now
We were living a life that almost killed me
Won’t you please say something?
‘Cause I’m gonna say goodbye
I’m leaving home…
Every night we had a fight
Was I wrong? Or were you right?
You never gave me chance to explain
You always choose to go away
Guess was easier that way
No this time we cannot handle
This time we cannot fight
This time we crossed the line
So I think its better
For us to be apart, so distance
I see clear now
We were living a life that almost killed me
Won’t you please say something?
‘Cause I’m gonna say goodbye
I’m leaving home…
I’m leaving home…
I just hope you know that
I have loved you so bad
But guess it’s not meant to be
I will try being different
I will try not mistake
After all I forgive you
No this time we cannot handle
This time we cannot fight
This time we crossed the line
So I think its better
For us to be apart, so distance
I see clear now
We were living a life that almost killed me
Won’t you please say something?
‘Cause I’m gonna say goodbye
I’m leaving home…
I’m leaving home…
I’m leaving home…
