about

'Back To Iris'
I didn't even have to think about the title for this album. And I didn't actually. I never decided that 'Back To Iris' would be the name of my second EP. It just was like this...
This album was actually recorded back in summer '13, one year and a half ago... I waited such a long time before releasing it because... I wasn't ready for it. I wasn't ready to let people listen to so many deep and hidden parts of my soul when I was still dealing with them... But now I am.
This album contains everything I've been going through in the last past two years of my life: I fell in love and I dreamed that it could be like the movies and the fairytales, that kind of true love that lasts forever; I followed my dreams and I believed in them with all my heart, hoping to spread my wings and finally fly; I told some special people how beautiful they really are to me, how much I love them, and how thankful I am to have them in my life; I dared to love someone so much to put them before anyone and anything, thinking it was right; I got hurt, my heart broke in million tittle pieces. I asked God why... but most of all, this album is about how I lost myself. I realized the way I had been living, for so long... the way I rejected myself, how I tried anything to change everything I was, and what I'd done to myself just to be wanted, just to be perfect, just to be 'enough'. I opened my eyes, I realized the truth... and that's when I found myself again. By going back. Back to everything I had. Back to everything I was.
Back to Iris.


Ps.: Read between the lines. Maybe there's a something hidden in the lyrics of each song.

Hi! I'm Iris. I'm 20, and I'm a songwriter. My guitar is my best friend, and Music is my whole life. My lucky number is 11. My motto is 'If you just believe'. I believe in fairytales, in dreams, in miracles, in wishes, in Music, and I do believe in Love. I'm just one of the many. I'm fearless. And I'm a dreamer. This is everything you need to know about me.
So nice to meet you! =)
