Let Me Introduce Myself

"Formerly of the band, M2M, please welcome... Marion Raven!"

The crowd was small, it being a live radio show in the station's boardroom, but they were very enthusiastic.

Marion smiled and waved as she stepped out onto the slightly raised stage, holding her guitar in one hand. She walked over to the stool and sat down in front of the mic.

"So the last time we saw you," the radio presenter said, tapping his chin. "You were part of a duo, and now you've branched out on your own, how's it all going?"

"Really well," Marion nodded. "Musically, Marit and I were headed in different directions, but we're always open to a reunion in the future."

"So, you took some time off, from then and now, and now you're back with some fresh new material, what's been happening? Why the long break?" he asked.

"Well, I did some voice work back home in Norway," she replied, smiling again. "And I played some gigs back home, but was always writing, writing. I wanted to make sure my solo album was going to be worth the wait, for the fans that have stuck with me for so long."

"Now, the first single... Let Me Introduce Myself, we love it, we've had it playing nonstop since it's release and some of the ladies here at the station have dubbed it a perfect break up song... inspired by true events?"

"Oh well now," Marion feigned a coy smile. "I can't kiss and tell, now can I? I think it's much interesting if the true story is never revealed, but I can say that I wanted to write a song that the guy and girl would hear and it would haunt them. But I would like to dedicate it to... K."

"And it certainly would do that!" he laughed. "Alright, so here we have it... Marion Raven with Let Me Introduce Myself!"

"You got everything that I want / You got him in the palm of your hand / But I know you've slept with everyone in his band / Again again again / You try to pretend we get along / But pretty little girl, you got it all wrong / I've got my eyes on you and I know what's going / On and on the fights begun / I'm not blind you see / And you're not fooling me / You've stepped into my territory / Let me introduce myself / Your enemy..."

The guitar rang out with the angry tune of the song, her hair falling down over her face as she sang.

"He would be shocked if he knew what I found out / The canzonet that you play would get a different sound / You lied about your BC to keep him around / Around around around we go / I'm not blind you see / And you're not fooling me / No, I won't let you be / Cause you're not fooling me / You've stepped into my territory / Let me introduce myself / Your reality / Oh no what have you / Gotten yourself into? / But to be honest / I don't give a shit about you, you, you / I'm not blind you see / And you're not fooling me / No, I won't let you be / Cause you're not fooling me / You've stepped into my territory / Let me introduce myself / Your morality / I'm not blind you see / And you're not fooling me / You've stepped into my territory / Let me introduce myself / His fantasy."

She finished with a flourish to the cheers of the crowd.
