Magical place called Hollywood where you can meet Ron Jeremy at any given moment! haha..  anyway. I'm recording in the studio right now, so exciting!!! (more at MarinaVKomrades.com )... And... I have a brand new DVD!! not only that.. I created a COMMERCIAL for it!! with singing and all... YOU GOTTA SEE IT!!

Hi guys!
We just uploaded my new song, Be Your Soldier. 
Nick & I co-wrote it with the amazing Michele Vice
(Emmy Award winner, music producer & songwriter)
and her co-writer Lawrence Treadwell! check it out on myspace.com/marinav 

If you'd like to buy it - we currently have it on
amiestreet.com/marinav

:) I hope you like it!! It's the first time I wrote with 3 other people!!
and first time had a song produced by an Emmy winner!! :)



BE YOUR SOLDIER

Anger seems so harsh
Healing seems so hard
I could use some better choices

Breaking through the noise
Finding one true voice
Where all the words have finally come together
I’m right here

And if the world is getting colder
I will always keep you warm, keep you warm
I will fight and be your soldier
All of us are angels for each other when we try
Take what’s wrong and make it right

Hope can scare the fears
That we hold so near, so near
Those things we almost know that hurt us

So if you’re locked within
Cause what you see outside yourself
Is overwhelming from a distance
I’m right here

CHORUS

They say there’s trouble everywhere
And no one strong enough to care
But I’m still here


CHORUS

Hello from Annapolis!! [Philly, NYC & more shows coming up - scroll down for the info]..
I'm loving, loving this tour. And the beautiful autumn colors which we don't have in Los Angeles!!! :)
On the election night we were in Savannah, GA, and ended up crying and hugging with a grocery store clerk when we heard the big exciting news of this historical election!!! On an unrelated note, I left behind my favorite (and my only) bathrobe in a hotel... :(

  Also.. we visited Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Virginia and even got a private tour from a friend who works there!!! And last night
I ended up singing an impromptu a capella song in a church in Washington, DC!

And today I finally got enough sleep and have a minute to check email... I have 100s of messages that I need to reply to,
so please don't take it personally if you don't hear from me until the tour is over!!!

Anyway... Hope to see many of you at the shows (see below)!!!
Hugs and hugs and even more hugs, Marina :)

Hi guys :) I'm officially hooked on The X-files. Any other X-file fanatics out there?

Someone asked me - why don't you put some new awesome collectible items on your site? I asked myself the same question and decided there is no reason I shouldn't! So..... drumroll please.. here comes the 7x5" hand-written custom-made lyric sheet in a picture-frame mat!! I hope you like!!!  Each one is unique and custom-made (by me.) You can even pick your favorite Marina V lyrics and I will create this special collector's item just for you (or leave it to me to choose the lyrics). Autographed on the front and signed to you on the back. Perfect for framing!  Go to www.MarinaV.com to buy!! Yay!!!

You can also win a lyric-sheet like this by being one of the most-active members of www.MarinaVKomrades.com. Sign up today and we'll let you know the details!!


Somebody also asked me - why don't you sell your early demos or B-sides on your site? And I said... I do!!! but for big fans only :) http://www.marinav.com/secret-buy.html

OK, that's all for now. Many cool & exciting things are in the works...
Hugs to all of you and thank you for everything.
Marina :)

P.S.

In my June newsletter I mentioned that I had lost my favorite necklace which I bought in Paris for only 10 euros - but it was very cute & I wore it every day. The next day I got an email from a very sweet person who offered to make me a new, custom-made necklace - with my signature flower on it!! I love my new necklace!!! and I simply can't believe how nice it was of Tim (the owner of this fine-crafted jewelry company) to do this. I'm just blown away!! Check out Tim's beautiful work at pennyroyalsilver.com
