As a HUGE former Floetry fan, I was more that excited when I found out that they were both making solo albums (Natalie's already being out entitled "Floetic Soul"). I was most excited about Marsha's who was always my favorite of the group is releasing hers entitled "Late Nights, Early Mornings" on Feb. 22. But what has me even more excited is her beautiful new single "Far Away" I think it's important that Everyone (gay & straight) should watch this music video. This puts the kiss in both Christina ("Beautiful") & Katy's ("Fireworks") videos to SHAME! It is about time a singer decided to think outside the box & defend both the gay community & the obstacles we face every single day like bullying & suicide. I am SO proud of Marsha for this words can't even express. I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you Marsha for thinking outside the box & using your craft to take a stand for us.
At the end of the video Marsha has written a letter. It says:
Dear Friends,
Every year over 1 million people commit suicide.
Some were bullied because of their sexuality.
I lost a friend to suicide, and I'm asking all of you to support alternative lifestyles.
Don't put up with or join in with bullying. It's time we became more aware in this world.
Take responsibility to make a difference. So if my music can save one life, I've done my job.
I love you all SO much !!
Marsha
Well Marsha, I'm here to tell you you've already saved MY life. more than you'll EVER know !!!
