Ira Losco - Diary

Sometimes you just need to get away from it all. You need to pretend you're somone else, wonder what it would be like to live someone else's life, wonder what it's like to find or lose yourself all at the same time. Sometimes I convince myself that this is why I do what I do.

I was never really convinced about myself... I guess everyone tries to escape their insecurities....so I started wondering what I could do to escape in a non escapist manner of doing things......(am I confusing you? I guess so)

I've also had a passion for singing and music and what better way could there be to express my innermost darkest emotions than strum a guitar, play the piano and write my own words. Singing gives me comfort, music gives me shelter. It also offers me a great means of meeting others and always discovering novelties in life.
Last week's trip to Gozo was well needed....it's an idyllic get away....even though I was performing I still enjoyed the little free time the band and I had.There's nothing better than coming off the stage after a wicked gig and hanging out together. To me, the band is family. They have become a vital part of my life. We share a stage, but we also share a passion for music and the amazing adrenalin that life gives us through what we love doing best.

Just as much as band is family to me, the people who have continuously given me support have become an essential and meaningful part of my life.

This Summer, it was priceless to be standing on the same stage as Gigi D'Alessio and watching people's faces, they looked so happy ....so proud. I was proud to be on a stage with a beautiful backdrop of our city and with the ardent support of my own country's people.

There seems to be some sort of Italian Connection lately.... I have aptly named this part of my life "The Italian Job"....I name every significant chapter in my life!
Only last Saturday I was overwhelmed with emotion, perfroming the Mia Martini song. The concoction of feelings that came through when I sang those words was something I can't explain. ....just remembering her interpretation and how she wore her heart on her sleeve still gives me goose bumps.

While singing the song...pain was important for me to project. It sounds sadistic but much can be gained from pain...it is only if we are able to come to terms with it, live with it, speak about it, and release it, that we can gain from it. It is only then that at least for a second, for a minute, an hour or maybe even a lifetime we will find some comfort.
