Serena Matthews

"Krahe" by Rudi Hurzlmeier
"Nevermore" by Lara Coton
Hey.. I'm Serena. These are my songs. If you listen to them for longer than 10 seconds, please tell me so. I love knowing when somebody actually listens or relates to the lyrics. I consider myself to be a poet more than a musician... it just so happens that I love to sing my poems and I can play a guitar a little bit - just enough to get by.
I love sharing my songs with folks like you, but I have no interest in being famous. In fact - if you should like to know the truth of the matter, I pretty much do all that I can to avoid it. So if you have great promises of making me famous --then carry your little self on out of here, I have no time for you at all and I really do mean that. You might think I don't mean it, but you're wrong and I'll tell you so if you ask me.
Now that I have told you what I don't want, do you know what I really do want?
I want to sit outside at dusk and listen to the moon breathe. I want to kiss the rain and taste the wind on my face somewhere as I listen to the whales sing. I want to plant both of my feet onto the pavement in Seattle and just say hello to a stranger. I want to photograph forgotten trees and leaves.
I want to make my darling Emma smile. I want to make a difference in this lifetime.. I want to look into my husbands eyes at the end of the day and know that I've made him happy as much as I can.
I want to live in a cottage on the northwest coast and take long quiet walks on the beach every single day. I wait for that moment... when it all starts to happen. I will lie in bed at night and hear the waves splash... I want to die with no regrets in my heart. These are my dreams.
So yes. Fame means nothing to me and money ruins everything anyway, just ask Kurt Cobain. You're better off chasing down your smile. Figure out where your smile lives and go sit down there for awhile.
My most interesting news lately is that I have a song in a movie. Yep.
"Cosmic Radio" is now playing!
And do you know who is fantastic? Drake Jurado . He created my first OFFICIAL video and it is beautiful.
Here it is.
(Please note: the first 2 minutes are silent. It's a movie. (Don't adjust your settings. When I say silent I mean it.)
If you enjoy the video as much as I do, please say so.

P.S. I don't really live in Seattle. I'm in Nashville wishing it was Seattle.
P.P.S. If you send me a friend request and don't say hello I will most likely deny it. I'm picky and the world is full of spam. So even if you do say hello but it's followed by "listen to my songs and comment" then I'll still deny your request, because really I'm tired of all the advertising.
