Broken - 4th Single from Seasons

UserPostedImage

This is the forth single taken from 'Seasons', the song 'Broken' highlighted for being one of the darkest song Abie ever wrote will be the final single from the album. a music video was recorded last weekend to promote the song, Abie will also make an appearence on David Latterman to perform the song and also to announce the dates of her upcoming 'Seasons World Tour', the tour is expected to premiere next Year.

Abie Message for the fans

Hello everyone, it’s being some time I haven’t talked with you all, but it was for a good reason, while me and my band were rehearsing like hell to kick off the world tour, we decided to postpone the first date to next year and doing that gave me a lot of time to write some extra material that I’m really looking forward to release soon.

The fact is that in talks with my label, we decided not to take too long to release a third studio album, a follow up to ‘Season’, I know the album didn’t even complete one year, but I felt so inspired for the last months that it was extremely necessary for me to enter in a studio and just to produce, those moments are secret to an artist, I had a serious problem last year doing ‘Season’ I had a writer’s block, so anytime I feel that there’s a song coming out, I got express it and let it born.

That’s probably the reason I was hiding myself out off the spotlight and I could easily be used to that, I hate being bothered in my privacy, anyways, I spent two months on a studio and we did great, really great things. Well to make the story short, you can wait for a third album for January, and finally a world Tour, we did not want to leave you guys without a series of concerts, we’ll be touring the whole next year for you, but with lots of brand new songs too!

So this is it guys, I’m so sorry I was not able to make a video for ‘Baby hit the road’ but I’ll make it up for you all with the video of ‘Broken’. And talking about this last single from ‘Seasons’ I thought it was a perfect choice for this Xtmas, the song is about redemption and forgiveness and I really feel like these holydays to come are about that, we all choose a day to think of what we have done for the year and so we can go on for a brand new year, I hope you all will relate to ‘Broken’ as much as I do.
Anyway, I’ll see you very soon and I really hope that you guys will enjoy the music we’re making.

Bye, bye…


Song Description

This is another power ballad piano based song. It starts out with a piano plus violin melody and Abie pure vocals, here we can hear a painful Abie Lena which will only become more desperate as the song goes on. Suddenly the song enters in its pre-chorus and Abie raises her voice strongly and powerfully, here the violins are louder than the piano melody turning the song to a dramatic opera till it culminates in the chorus of the song, where the violins slows down and Abie deliver us her high and powerful vocals for the first time in the song.

The cycle repeats, All melodies slows down to the second strophe of the song, and then comes the pre-chorus and the chorus in that crescendo mix of Abie’s vocals and orchestral elements. It goes till the song breaks to a bridge where more instruments are added to it, making it even more dramatic and bit more pop too.

In the bridge Abie makes her usual free style singing, she raises her voice and reach the song’s most loud notes, also there’s the addition of backing vocals lead Abie to the final lines of the song, where she her low voice down to finish the song in the faucet.

Lyrically the song is about redemption, Abie is saying that she’ll never feel fine to what she did to someone she loved long time ago, and she asks his forgiven but she finds out that even if he forgives she’ll probably live with the sin for the rest of her life, to end the song she takes the blame for herself accepting her guilty.

Lyrics

I don’t know how can I start, But I have to face
There’s no way to run away
I cannot escape
Only If you could forgive me
Ooh Ooh

If I had the time back
I would change what I said
I never wanted hurt you
But I had no other choice
I’m gonna regret this, Forever it will hurt
And even if I find a word
You’ll never coming back

Ooh Blame me for, everything
I did for you to be fallen
And till the end of time I’ll be broken

The shame overwhelmed my heart
I’m down on my knees
Last night I prayed to God
If he could save me
But I feel he didn’t listen
My sins Ooh

Would you have done the same thing?
Can you take my place?
I cannot look into your eyes
I choose hide my face
It’s easier for us to fake, even though we’re not the same
I just ask you don’t hate me
But I forgive you, if you can’t

Ooh Blame me for, everything
I did for you to be fallen
And till the end of time

Ooh
What it’s done cannot be changed
I will wander the face the earth searching for a fate
Ooh
I sold my soul
But I’m learning
To live with this sin

Ooh Blame me for, everything
I did for you to be fallen
And till the end of time I’ll be broken

Sounds like

THE NEVER SEEN VIDEO BEFORE.. SPECIALLY FOR THE FANS!


Abie Lena
'Broken'
Seasons
Director: Ray Kay
Studio60



Quote:
It's a gray day, the cemetery is empty, dead leaves on the ground and Abie is walking above them with a serious face expression, she’s searching for a certain grave while she keeps looking on the ground, she’s wearing a black dress with a black umbrella to block the sun from her face, but it’s worthless, because there’s no sun at all, the day is really gray and melancholy, Abie stops at one grave, that’s probably the grave she went to visit, she looks down and she reads the epitaph ‘Carlos Oliveira Lena – beloved father’. A tear drops from her eyes and the song begins.

Footage of Abie as a baby taking a bath held by her mom and being watched by her father, old footages of Abie as a kid playing with her sister Magie is also showed, all of these footages are switched with a scene of Abie on her knees in an empty house surrounded by photographs and dust, she’s lip-syncing the song lyrics the same time the old footages are showed.

The footages goes running through time, we can see Abie as a teenager, later in the video, they’re all images from birthdays and Christmas and all of them are very happy, Abie had a sweet relationship with her father as seen in the video, the other scene where Abie is at the empty house, shows a standing Abie looking down the photographs on the ground, and in the second chorus of the song she’s down on her knees again holding the photographs at her heart like if that was everything she had to hold to from those times.

The song goes running to its climax and so the footages now shows Abie crying because of a scratch on her finger, she’s just a kid and her father comes to comfort her, embracing her around her shoulders, the same moment Abie is giving the highest notes of the song and quickly the scene switches to Abie at the cemetery, now she’s crying and it start raining, the day is grayer than before and Abie is looking down the grave of her father the same time a statue of an angel is placed behind her and the scenes goes fading away from Abie while the final lines of the song is sung by her, and the camera goes running away from her and that grave. When the song ends and the rain is falling down, she moves herself out of the cemetery slowly as the camera angle is already in the sky.
