When I write a song, I always write about something that’s real and that I have passion for—I mean love songs are cute and fun, but my deep dark thoughts usually go way beyond that. Writing music is what gets me through the day and the night—it’s a release and it keeps me out of the loony bin—so I write about injustice, poverty, war, abuse, betrayal, suicide—but I also include things like dreams and angels on the run.
I’ve always been told my vocal sound is unique—I can’t say for sure because no one can really listen to themselves objectively—so I’ll just say that I have the soul of Janis Joplin, the range of Tina Turner and the strangeness of Anne Lennox. My whole life I’ve listened to just about every kind of music out there—so who knows what my style is—I just go with the flow. What’s really cool is that my fans are of all ages—I guess music has no boundaries and maybe just sometimes someone listening to my music gets some sort of release too. PEACE

Notes from Starla----
"ANGELS ON THE RUN" is my tribute to firefighters and paramedics who risk their lives daily and without them I would have died at a very young age.
"COSMIC TRAIN" is about the final ride to suicide. My father and a very close friend who had an incredible heart and inspired my musicality both committed suicide. Do you ever wonder if you could have done something or did you miss a sign.
"IF ONLY" explores spousal abuse. I grew up in a house of sadness and fear. My mother's abuse was like a dirty little secret that I think no one should ever have to endure.
"DREAMS" are what we all need to keep alive. So find a dream, keep your dream, and even revise your dream---but never give up on your dream.
"BEYOND THIS CAGE" has bars made of conditioning and dependence on money and material things.
"RACING WITH THE STORM" which has lightning greed and thunder need.
"PEACE ON EARTH" speaks for itself.
"OUTER IMPRESSIONS" soon fade. Everybody's idea of beauty differs. Why mutilate and operate on your precious body to look like Barbie or to try to stay young. In the end what counts is your spirit, your soul and your inner magic.
"DEMONS IN MY MIND" are depression, anger and hatred. There was a time in my life when I was really sad and for three years I could rarely get out of bed. Thankfully the demons lost.
"THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND" is about the loneliness you feel when your best friend just drops you and you don't know why. It's painful and such emptiness occurs. | | |
