A Musical Message of Hope and Survival from emerging Caribbean Electropop duo

Sarina, of Trinidadian electropop duo Legionaire, has submitted the story behind their debut track “Move On” to the onoing 2010 music project of UK based Caribbean blogger “Game Well and Truly Over”. In a deeply personal essay she shares how a prior history of emotionally abusive relationships served as the song’s genesis. She also brings to light how the writing process, shared with musical partner Jason Bodden, served as a personal catharsis that many can draw inspiration from.

“…the song was even more importantly about my own moving beyond years of negative conditioning re: my own musical talents and ability to contribute anything of artistic worth or value to the world around me. Jason’s parts (which he composed) are not just the words of a prospective lover, waiting in the wings, but also the voice of our higher potential and truest self which yearns to be acknowledged and nurtured.”

An ardent opponent of domestic abuse, Legionaire uses its official site LegionaireNow.com to share information on societies (both Trinidadian and international) who are working towards its eradication.
