AIN'T LIFE STRANGE SOMETIMES...

New beginnings...
I love fresh starts, new beginnings, new ideas. Guess it's my Aries-nature... Not that I know that much about Astrology... That's the beauty of life. Something new always happens. This is a message for all of you out there in doubt. Magic is bound to happen very soon, probably when you least expect it. Just keep striving, keep believing... You are so close.
Usually, the best things in life happen suddenly, unexpectedly. Things like love, great songs, those beautiful snap shots of life. But you can't have those without all that other shit... not just yet...
Stay tuned in
Love,
Zana

All of you who have been interested in following this diary of mine… I wanna thank you for giving me a reason to write… I realized recently that I suck at expressing my emotions or even knowing what they are sometimes. I do it at two occasions- In the studio, making music and while singing it to you… I wouldn’t know a thing about my self if I didn’t do these things. Here’s a little something from a new song that I just wrote the other day. It’s helping me let go of some regrets I have… You know when you lose something and you know you can’t ever get it back and your mind starts playing tricks, inventing thoughts such as: “What if” … What if I did this or that... Maybe things would have taken a different turn… Here are the lyrics of the chorus: “Don’t look back when you go
Right or wrong, time will show
Let bygones, be bygones No one can predict the mood of a gale The truth is as fragile as the writing in the sand”
God help me find a way to keep believing there is a purpose to everything.
Love,
Zana

Sorrow
Last night I lost a loved one. He was one of the most beautiful, brilliant and sensitive people I know. Sometimes too much so.No one can play the guitar like him and this world was just about to discover him. I guess his soul was ready to discover other worlds.I weep for you and all the unwritten songs . I know some day, we will continue making music. Maybe you’ll become an angel and whisper it to me. “Disem za tebe Daljina nas djeli” Faruk Kadic (27.08.1980- 14.03. 2006)

2:nd page. Had so much fun last nite...
Funny thing happened last night.. Someone asked me if I was nervous just before my performance at Södra Teatern. I realized that only thought in my head was: I just can't wait to get on that stage!!! No I wasn't nervous one bit. Actually I can't think of any times in my life when I am happier than when performing. That kind of spiritual interaction that goes on between an artist and his/hers audience is something I could compare to most beautiful friendship. You are bare, letting deepest, most hurtful parts of you uncover before the world and you transform all of that into a musical gift you give to your beholders. It touches them and their enthusiasm is a gift back to you. You know that it’s real… the pain, the joy, the enormous amount of emotion you’ve carried inside for so long. And now it’s expressed… It’s out there in the world… And it actually means something. It affects somebody.
I wish my audience knew how much they mean to me. Music doesn’t exist without you. Music is a gift to all of us.

1:st page. Gratitude
Ok! Today is a good day and I decided it’s time I make my self heard… I’ve been doing this for such a long time, seems like forever. I want my first words in this diary to be words of gratitude. I’m so thankful for this chance to finally make my music accessible for anyone who has any interest in hearing it. I’ve been trying to put a record out since At times I thought I would never make it, and I’m not just talking about the music business. Somehow I’m here… I owe that to all the people around me supporting my cause and believing in me, Mom and Dad, Monica & Göte (my extra parents), my beautiful sister Mary and brothers Ahmed and Mersad ( you guys are my best friends), Grandma Rasema (You’re the sunshine of my life). Of course all my friends and assoiciates: Andreas (you are so talented), Patrik and Fredrik, Brox, Glenn and Ingmari (you are such wonderful people, I’m lucky to know you!) Pär (you’re doing such great job with the website), Niklas Bäck, you are a great friend and advisor, glad I’ve come to know you… LUNKAN, thanks for all tips and advice…YOU RULE, Herman Male- thanks for everything. Everyone involved with my single, Kiboy, Ayesha, Djinn- thank you for being so enthusiastic about my project. Emil and Kalle… thanks guys for great work with the Video. Peter from Deadfrog, thank you. The road ahead of me is long… Whatever happens, I couldn’t be more proud of this material and material yet to be released. The maxi single will be released in the beginning of August and I’ve got some of the best people in the business believing in it and working with me… That feels awesome… I want to finish this first page of my diary by expressing gratitude for the greatest gift of all: Life it self. One Love, Zana
