Soliá/DAVED KIDNEYS
Soliá/DAVED KIDNEYSDaved kidneys I am a young man who from his birth lived a great opportunity of life that really had no hope. A disease that destroyed me and today I feel very good thanks to God for part of my life to share with you that if there are people with the same situation of a kidney disease and that nowadays they live connected in a dialysis machine They are my support because I also lived it and I know it is hard. So in this opportunity these videos that I do are very significant and I will continue to improve a lot that this is not easy and nothing is easy in this world. That's why the last three videos on the piano are phrases that he always said when going to a hospital because I'm tired of always seeing the same thing and taking daily medications that help me protect the transplanted kidney. For this opportunity I would very much like to show them to you and that my songs really reach each one of you in my heart and transmit who I am and why I do this

So many things I should have said, by Ariana May
'So many things I should have said' from the debut EP 'Perfect for You' by Ariana May.'So many things I should have said' is an emotional song about the regret of keeping your words inside; it reflects how although we have so many thoughts inside our minds, sometimes it feels like our tongues are tied. This poignant song is wistful and emotional as it echoes how we overthink everything, however is encouraging as it tells us to "always speak whatever's in your mind".The EP 'Perfect for You' is a collection of three songs: 'Perfect for You', 'Embers of the Sun' and 'So many things I should have said'. Though each song has a different message, they all possess the same paradoxical moods of poignancy and optimism; inspiring us with courage for the future or comfort in our memories. All the songs revolve around relationships and how each moment in life shapes us and makes us stronger.
