Marissa Godinez Fave 5 Song Nuggets

Marissa Godinez is a talented actor, singer, performer, world traveler, Spanish speaker from Hawaii and most recently in an award winning film called, "Irresponsible." These are the songs that influence her growing up and getting to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams.

MAZZY STAR "Blue Light"

Singer Hope Sandoval plays many instruments, including harmonica, keyboard, Hammond Organ, Xylophone and the Glockenspeil. Which is like a xylophone, only it has metal bars/keys instead of wooden ones.

CHRIS ISAAC "Wicked Games"

Chris wrote this song after a woman he knew to be trouble called him and said "I want to come over and talk to you. I want to talk to you until you can no longer stand." He had the song written before she ever reached his house.

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS "Scar Tissue"

Lead singer Anthony Kiedis wrote in his Autobiography of the same name that a lot of this song refers to Dave Navaro. "Sarcastic Mr Know-It-All" is a direct reference because Dave is known as "the king of sarcasm." And at the end of the music video for "Warped" Anthony and Dave kiss at the end of the video...which is referred to in "Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause"

Anthony was introduced to pot at 12 years old. But shares a story in his autobiography that he got high at 4 for the first time. He was walking with his dad and dad blew pot smoke in his face.

MARO "Still Feel It All"

From Portugal. My favorite comment on this youtube thread "Whenever you post something, i wait up till midnight so i can sneak out to the roof and listen to it with my eyes closed and feeling the cold wind. It’s the best feeling"

PENTATONIX "Run To You"

3 of the members were high school friends and formed a vocal trio to compete in a radio competition for the chance to meet the cast of "Glee." They created a rendition of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" which didn't win, however, they did find their following on Facebook!
