Listen To Mark Diamond’s ‘Losing Control’
Tattooed onto Marks left forearm reads “XVII-II-MMVI” – the date he first performed an original song in front of a large audience. Each day that tattoo staring at him is a reminder that all it takes is the courage to be yourself. At that moment, Mark remembers feeling like nothing in his life would be the same.
Diamond is from Washington state and grew up in a small town outside of Seattle called Maple Valley. He blames the rain for his style of writing. Through all of the music he writes, Mark hopes to help those similar to him, giving them a moment to quiet their busy minds, even if it’s just for a moment.
“A couple of years ago I was playing piano in a small town in eastern Washington and came across the chords of Losing Control. I took the song back to the western side of the state and let it finish itself. Stubborn minds after heart ache lead to a series of bad decisions. I think for the most part this came from a place of borderline insanity. We live in a time where its quite easy to get what we want, and quickly. When for the first time you come across something in life you can’t have no matter how badly you may want it, it’s a hard pill to swallow.” – Mark
