Music & Lyrics by Emily Dini

Lyrics:
I don’t wanna be pretty
Like a barbie in her box
I don’t wanna be silent
While all the big boys talk
And if you’re looking for me in-between
My neckline and my dress seam
You’re not really gonna see me

I wanna be something wild and strong
And brave enough to get it wrong
I wanna be someone known for the things
You wouldn’t find in a magazine
I don’t wanna be pretty
I don’t wanna be pretty
I don’t wanna be

I wanna be lightning
That shocks the atmosphere
I wanna be an earthquake
Movin’ mountains without fear
So if you’re looking for me in-between
A battle cry and a mighty dream
That’s probably where you’re gonna find me

I wanna be something wild and strong
And brave enough to get it wrong
I wanna be someone known for the things
You wouldn’t find in a magazine
I don’t wanna be pretty
I don’t wanna be pretty
No, I don’t wanna be

Pretty doesn’t change the world
She doesn’t break the glass
Pretty doesn’t cross the bridge
Or narrow the gap
Pretty might look nice tonight
But pretty doesn’t last

I wanna be something wild and strong
And brave enough to get it wrong
I wanna be someone known for the things
You wouldn’t find in a magazine
I don’t wanna be pretty
I don’t wanna be pretty
I’m pretty sure I don’t wanna be 
I don’t wanna be pretty

If Joni Mitchell and Florence + The Machine had a 21st century hippie daughter, it would be Marta Palombo. Hailing from Florence, Italy, she found her home in Nashville, Tennessee where she spends her time writing, recording, performing, and curating a cabinet full of local teas. Marta effortlessly weaves diverse influences and genres into her own unique blend of cinematic folk pop.
