Hi guys!! My new album, INNER SUPERHERO, is here!!
It is now available on every digital outlet worldwide (iTunes, amazon, etc)!
And signed physical copies (and mp3s/digital downloads, as well) are available here at www.MarinaV.com
I am very, very proud of INNER SUPERHERO and the album's message.
It is about finding the inner strength and looking for light when sometimes it feels there is only darkness.
Each song deals with searching for/finding love, strength, positivity and light.

HELLO
Let me come
And show you how to
Feel no pain when you’re bleeding
In the night the wind is howling
You go insane because you needed
Someone there until sunrise
I know that you can save my life if you just tried
I scream hello..
Tell me, are you out there?
Tell me, are you out there?
Hello, hello..
I just need some sort of sign
I need a little light to give me hope
I scream hello...
Let me come
And show you how to lose your soul to all your demons
I have seen the other side
I know that you can save my life if you just tried
I scream hello...
Tell me, are you out there?
Tell me, are you out there?
Hello, hello..
I just need some sort of sign
I need a little light to give me hope
I scream hello...
I believe
I believe and I know I can save my life, if I just tried…
Hello…
RUN
You, you screw me up
mess with my mind
it’s just my luck…
Your magic worked
I don’t know what to do
I want your spell
I want your spell
I want your voodoo
So I'll run run run
And I won’t stop
and I feel the burn
but I'm catching up
so I'll run run run
til I cross the line
I'll run run run
til your love is mine
You know our stars have been aligned
So I'll run run run
til I fall or til your love is mine
You, you freak me out
You wove the web
I can’t live without
You hypnotize
I don’t know what to do
I want your spell
I want your spell
I want what you do
So I'll run run run
And I won’t stop
and I feel the burn
but I'm catching up
so I'll run run run
til I cross the line
I'll run run run
til your love is mine
You know our stars have been aligned
So I'll run run run
til I fall or til your love is mine
You, you screw me up, you make me chase you…
WIN
Not gonna fight it
I won’t deny it
They’re gonna lick their wounds and like it
I’m gonna taste it
I’m gonna live it
I’m gonna take more than they’re giving
I’m gonna win tonight
I’m gonna win this fight
I won’t deny it
I’ll win or die trying
It has been written in the sky
That I’m gonna win tonight
I’ll win or die trying
And I’m gonna win tonight
I like it faster
I like it harder
They like it smart
I like it smarter
I’m gonna face it
I’m gonna ace it
Not gonna stop til I’m in space and
I’m gonna win tonight
I’m gonna win this fight
I won’t deny it
I’ll win or die trying
It has been written in the sky
That I’m gonna win tonight
I’ll win or die trying
And I’m gonna win tonight
There’s no need to suffer
Just know that I
I’m gonna win tonight
I’m gonna win this fight
I won’t deny it
I’ll win or die trying
It has been written in the sky
That I’m gonna win tonight
I’ll win or die trying
And I’m gonna win tonight
SPEAK
I want to scream at people who are mean to me
But I’m too nice, too nice
I’m a nice girl
I’m the quiet type
Never argue, never fight
Always agree, afraid
Afraid of controversy
Afraid to hurt the feelings of people who don’t care
Don’t care about me
But now I’ve had enough
I will speak up
I will speak out
And I will speak my mind
Don’t care if they freak out
I will speak out
And I will speak my mind
Not gonna worry what they think and I’m not sorry
Got my voice and I will be heard
I’m done with compromise
Don’t ask me to be nice
Too nice, too nice, cause I’m a nice girl
Cause now I’ve had enough
I will speak up
I will speak out
And I will speak my mind
Don’t care if they freak out
I will speak out
And I will speak my mind
And I will never apologize
Never apologize for being myself
I’ve had enough
I will speak up
I will speak out
And I will speak my mind
Don’t care if they freak out
I am gonna speak out
And I will speak my mind
I will speak up, speak out, and I will speak my mind
I will speak up, speak out
And I will speak my mind
FAIRYTALE OR NOT
I feel like rain
I’m empty yet overwhelmed
I’m cold yet burning up
I feel that I screwed up
How can I make this whole again, whole again
When I just don’t know where to start
I don’t know what I’ve got
I don’t know where I’m going
Fairytale or not
Not sure just who I see
Who is really me
Who I wanna be when I grow up
Fairytale or not
I feel awake
I’m burning at the stake
This dream it never ends
Not sure where it begins
What does it even mean to me, and what’s the cost
Cause I just don’t know what I’ve lost
I don’t know what I’ve got
I don’t know where I’m going
Fairytale or not
Not sure just who I see
Who is really me
Who I wanna be when I grow up
Fairytale or not
Yes, I’m unsure
But do we need to know?
Is there a cure
Or at least a placebo
STAND
Live or die with no regret
You and I will make it yet
Hold me, from the fire you pull me
Lift me up and show me beauty to be found
Hold me, promise you will hold me
Even if the world comes crashing down
When the world comes crashing down around us
We’ll stand our ground
On the edge of everything
Dance upon piano string
Hold me, from the fire you pull me
Lift me up and show me beauty to be found
Hold me, promise you will hold me
Even if the world comes crashing down
When the world comes crashing down around us
We’ll stand our ground
I will never break
I will never fall
As long as I see your eyes, I am whole
Live or die with no regret
LIGHT UP THE DARK
Lost, I don’t know where
Holding on to nothing
There must be something there
Hope, it goes nowhere
Until I find a way and
LIGHT UP THE DARK
LIGHT UP THE DARK
It’s funny what we don’t see until we
LIGHT UP THE DARK
A flame from a spark
How beautiful life can be
When we LIGHT UP THE DARK
Love can lead me home
A place where I am stronger
A place where I belong now
Peace, I’ll find my peace
With a candle here I stand
I know my life is in my hands
LIGHT UP THE DARK
LIGHT UP THE DARK
It’s funny what we don’t see until we
LIGHT UP THE DARK
A flame from a spark
How beautiful life can be
When we LIGHT UP THE DARK
Together we can shine a light
Together we can shine a light
Together we can shine a light
Together we can shine a light
ENJOY THE RIDE
You follow me
I follow you
I wanna be wherever you go
Through my mind and in my dreams
I see it clearly now
That I have found what’s hard to find
I only need you here beside me
Take me, take me
Take me to the place I love the most
Let’s run away together
Let’s get lost
I know that you’ll be by my side
So let’s enjoy the ride
You look at me
I look at you
And somehow I just know that
You can read my mind and dream my dreams
And I believe it now
That I have found what’s hard to find
I only need you here beside me
Take me, take me
Take me to the place I love the most
Let’s run away together
Let’s get lost
I know that you’ll be by my side
So let’s enjoy the ride
You are my favorite place
Take me, take me
Take me to the place I love the most
Let’s run away together
Let’s get lost
I know that you’ll be by my side
So let’s enjoy the ride
SAY HELLO
Put down your phone
Forget your email and your texts
They’ll be there later
There’s life outside these walls
Take a vacation for a minute
It’s okay to live a little
You can have it all
Say, say hello
To the world
To the sky above
Feel the love
Say, say hello
To the sun
It’s saying
It’s time you had some fun
So take a walk outside
Reintroduce yourself to your surroundings
And remember what it’s like
Sometimes you gotta take a moment
Take a break and smell the roses
Go fly a kite
Say, say hello
To the world
To the sky above
Feel the love
Say, say hello
To the sun
It’s saying
It’s time you had some fun
Don’t pay attention
To the people that don’t get you
Only you can set you free
You’ve got the right to be
What you decide
You’ve already got all that you need
GOING HOME
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels wrong
But something is missing, missing
I think of a place
One that I know
It calls and I'm listening...
I'm going HOME
taking off today
HOME
I'm on my way HOME
cause I can't stay away,
I'm going HOME
where I belong
HOME
it's been too long
HOME....
I'm going HOME
I’ve wandered this world
I’ve seen all its love
I tell you, it’s beautiful
It’s beautiful
Wherever I am
Wherever I go
One place keeps calling
It’s calling HOME
БЕГУ
Ты сводишь меня, cводишь с ума
Моя беда
В себя влюбил
Что делать мне?
И я хочу, Я так хочу
Гореть в твоём огне
И я бегу, бегу
И не остановлюсь
Уже вот вот вот
До тебя коснусь
Я бегу, бегу
Пульсирует кровь
Мне жизненно важна
Твоя любовь
У нас с тобой одна судьба
Тебя догоню
И ты влюбишься в меня
Ты, ты меня скрутил
Паутину сплёл
В дремучий лес завёл
Околдовал, Очаровал
Ты из меня, из меня
Чудовище создал
И я бегу, бегу
И не остановлюсь
Уже вот вот
До тебя коснусь
Я бегу, бегу
Пульсирует кровь
Мне жизненно важна
Твоя любовь
У нас с тобой одна судьба
Тебя догоню
И ты влюбишься в меня
И я гонюсь
За твоей тенью...
