Broken - 4th Single from SeasonsThis 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 fansHello 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.

LyricsI 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
