Better Day

I wrote this song based off of the movie "Inception" - saw it the other night, and it's a really beautiful story. If you haven't seen it, go see it! if you have, I hope I did it justice?

Thanks for listening!

Just Fine

Here is a new song called "The Answer" that I wrote David Flack -- a tip reward from one of my Concert Window online shows :)

Thanks for supporting my music David and I hope you like this song! He had requested a theme about Love being strong and enough. So here's "The Answer"! 

Lyrics/Chords:
The Answer
By: Lonna Marie
Verse chords: G Cadd9 Em D
Chorus: G Cadd9 Em D
Bridge: C D G Em // D

V1
I’m looking at you
and watching you move
like it’s the first time

i don’t wanna forget
the words you said
to me on that night

Chorus
Love can always be the answer
if we understand
that these hard times will get better
just hold my hand
our love has got a plan

V2
we hit every high
but when it get’s low
we think that it’s over

we cant be afraid
when life gives us rain
we gotta be bolder 

Bridge
Plan..
we’re so much stronger when we stick together
i’ll be your cover in this crazy weather
pull me back to shore when i stray 
cause our love lead the way..

 

THE ANSWER (demo)

Here is a new song called "High Five" that I wrote for Scott Doublisky -- a tip reward from one of my Concert Window online shows :)

Thanks for supporting my music Scott and I hope you like this song! He requested a song about ANYTHING so I chose high fives!
This track is also inspired by Courtney Barnett's style -- been listening to her lately and she's quite awesome.

High Five

By: Lonna Marie

Verse: C G C G C G F G C

Chorus: C G Am F

Bridge: C G Am F



V1

i can tell that you really don’t wanna be

i can tell that you really don’t wanna be 

I can tell that you really don’t wanna be with me



i can tell by the way that you comb your hair

i can tell by the clothes that you choose to wear

i can tell that you really just don’t care



Chorus

so why why why

do we have be so polite

if we don’t gott to be

let’s just cut our ties 

no need for goodbye

but we could high five 



V2

now we can be who ever we wanna be

and we can do whatever we wanna do

and what i want to do never see you again



Bridge

i never meant to be with you

it just sort of happened one night

then i could never get rid of you

consider this our last high five

Dear John - Taylor Swift

We love you Nancy

your light will shine

until the day

the earth falls off its axis

and the sun fades away



you are what brightens up our day

and we hope you know 

we love you in the deepest way..



Nancy

you showed us what it means to really be alive

Nancy

you never let a day go by without a twinkle in your eye

will always be the story of your life 



Just your presence 

in a room

fills it to the brim 

with the happiest of moods



you have your faith

and you have us

always by your side

when days can get too rough



you’ll always be a prayer away

sending all our love to you each day..

Heart Attack (Demi Lovato) / One More Night (Maroon 5) Mash up

Lola Rhodes (Formerly known as Lonna Marie) is an independent singer-songwriter in Los Angeles, California. Her musical genre is pop-folk and is often compared to Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, and Jason Mraz. She performs in venues in and around LA as well as online concerts for her international fanbase.

LONNA MARIE
Lola Rhodes' given name is Lonna Marie. In November 2015, Lola realized the new music she was creating was coming from a new part of her soul, unlike anything she had written before. It was time to wholly embrace her music without the baggage that comes with a lifelong given name. With that, Lola Rhodes the artist was born and Lonna Marie the person evolved.

NYC TO LA
After 7 years in New York City, Lola decided it was time to move on and give Los Angeles a run for its money. She packed the car and drove out west on a cross-country tour arriving in early 2014.

She had the opportunity to perform at The Listening Room in Nashville as well as The House of Blues in both Houston and Dallas. She ended her tour at the legendary Whisky a Go Go on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip.

She spent her first year in Los Angeles playing shows with a 7-piece band that included a classical guitar, violin, standup bass, and accordion. Some highlights were shows at The House of Blues, The Standard Hotel, The Mint, Room5, and her all time favorite, the singer-songwriter mecca, Hotel Cafe.

2015 was dedicated to recording and collaborating with gifted producers that could take her sound to another level. She worked with Will Golden (Meiko, Matt Nathanson) on a three song EP [The Worst has just begun, 2014] and with Jamie Candiloro (Ryan Adams, REM), whose tracks will be released in 2016.

In the beginning of 2015, a portion of Lola's catalogue was acquired by Viacom for use as soundtracks on MTV and VH1. Her song, Drifting has been placed in multiple indie films, was Runner Up in the Song of the Year contest and the music video has been invited to several film festivals around Los Angeles.

NASHVILLE
In October 2015, her unreleased track, Blue Bird won first prize in The Big Hook competition sponsored by Fiverr.com, Songspace, and American Songwriter Magazine. She won a trip to Nashville to record 3 songs with producer Bobby Campbell and meet with industry professionals from BMI (Penny Gattis), Secret Roads (Katie Jelen) and Spotify/Nesta Music (Robby Towns), among others. She also had the incredible opportunity to co-write with Nashville songwriters Louisa Wendorff, Daphne Willis, and Justin Halpin.

MARINA DEL REY
On any given day you can find Lola in her Marina del Rey studio writing her next track on her Kala ukulele or Ibanez acoustic guitar. Sometimes it's a song for her, another artist, a collaboration with a producer or even a jingle. Her original songs and jingles have been recognized by major companies like Tesla, Paypal, and Dropbox. In 2014, Dropbox enjoyed her jingle so much, they flew her to their quarterly keynote to open the conference with her jingle.

Lola Rhodes will be releasing new music through out the entire span of 2016 with a pre-release of her single 'Marina del Rey' in December 2015.
