About Intensia
Hey, my name is Intensia. I love to write and sing life-inspired, emotional songs about relationships, self-reflection, growth, and motivation.
Expressing creativity has always been vital to me. Shortly after starting school, I received a special gift that blew my mind: a blue radio cassette recorder. I spent countless hours listening to, exploring my voice, and composing melodies. Since then, I have never stopped making music, learning, and encouraging others to embrace their artistic side.
Driven by my vision to connect and unite through music, WORDS TO THINK. OR TO SING. releases on 26 June 2025. Through its pages, you can join me in the process of music evolving, witnessing pop songs creation and feeling their power even before their full existence. Join the free Intense Inside Club at www.intensia.music for messages, exclusive insights, little surprises, and more.
Thanks so much for being here with me. I can’t wait to share my thoughts and songs with you.
Talk soon,
Intensia

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are having a sunny and beautiful time so far🙂
Thanks so much again for having been part of the „Words to Think. Or to Sing.“ virtual book tour🎶💝
It‘s been only a few weeks, and the book has received not only the Literary Titan Gold Book Award for Poetry, but it is also nominated for the Eric Hoffer Award in the Art category🙂
Thank you so much again for all the love and the kind conversations. I would love to keep in touch. Meanwhile you can also find me on Substack

Where I’m going to share further steps of the journey and craft the lyric excerpts further to complete poetic pop music concepts. And who knows, the fist song fragment you can witness the further development might be one of those already shared in our tour😊
See you there🤗
This sounds like a very unique and fascinating book.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Nancy! They truly mean a lot to me. I created this to inspire conversations, reflection and to connect at a deeper level right from the earliest stage possible.
If you enjoy artistic journeys, emotional and relatable pop music, or modern poetry-like lyric fragments with accessible, heartfelt verses, I wish you a great read already and would love to hear your thoughts once you’ve had the chance to explore it.
And even once the book is finished, there’s still so much more to experience, discover, and witness together. I’ll be finalizing and releasing the songs from these lyric excerpts one at a time.
You’re warmly invited to join the free Intense Inside Club on my artist website. It’s a cozy little space where I share behind-the-scenes insights, little surprises, and more, if it resonates with you. You can easily sign up there anytime.
And maybe one day, we can also sing some of your favorite lines together at the top of our lungs 🙂
Thanks for visiting, Nancy!
This looks like an amazing book. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Thank you so much Mike! I’m so glad it resonates with you 🙂
You know, most music artists tend to work in solitude and only share some of the process once everything is finished and ready to stream. I wanted to do things differently by offering a glimpse into my mind and soul at the earliest stage possible through these poetic lyric excerpts from my pop songs in progress.
The book also includes little insights about the meanings behind the fractions and there is even space for self-reflection in case inspiration sparks. This felt like a genuine way to introduce myself and connect from the very beginning of the story in an original and heartfelt manner.
Music has always been so meaningful and empowering to me and I would be honored to become a sonorous artistic companion to you as well 🙂
United in Intensity
Looks like a good read.
Thank you so much, Sherry! I hope you’ll give it a go. I’d really love to hear your thoughts 🙂
Do you know that feeling when a certain song plays in a room full of perfect strangers, and suddenly everyone feels connected, sometimes even singing along by heart? That’s exactly what I love so much about music.
I’d be thrilled to have you along for this special artistic unfolding journey, and maybe, one day, we can even sing something together 🙂
The book sounds very intriguing. I love poetry, and I've put this on my reading list. Thanks!
Thank you so much, PIroska. Words to Think. Or to Sing. is not exactly poetry in the classical sense, but it has a poetic essence through its minimalistic, relatable, and heartfelt songwriting style.
Since no similar concept seems to have been published before, it doesn't really fall into a defined literary category. Modern poetry is probably the closest it gets 😀
What makes it unique is that every excerpt may appear like accessible, contemporary poetry at first glance, but each line carries a (for now) secret melody. These are all fragments from real pop songs in progress that I’m going to finalize and release one at a time.
I’m sharing them this early so they can spark reflection, deeper connection, inspiration, and linger a little longer than much of the music out there nowadays.
Wishing you a great read already. I’d love to hear which lines resonate with you most. And maybe one day, we can even sing them together. I would be thrilled to have you along for this special artistic unfolding journey 🙂
What do you hope readers will take away from this book?
Thanks so much for asking this, Soha Molina!
I would love for this work to attract reflective souls who appreciate art that unfolds with intentional calm and invites deeper connection. My vision is to create a genuine community where meaning and creativity can grow, inspire conversations, reflection and unite through resonance without being rushed. A space for those who want to feel and participate more.
I like to call members Intenswes because we are united in intensity, and it’s as simple as that: Intens + we + s for the plural 🙂
I hope to count you among us in the free Intense Inside Club, a heartfelt space where we share thoughts, messages, and tiny surprises together. You’re warmly invited to join by signing up on my artist website. 🙂
I hope readers will enjoy the beauty of slowing down and truly experiencing developing art, and see that meaning and connection grow best when given space to linger and unfold. It’s an invitation to reflect, feel deeply, and find resonance beyond the rush of everyday life.
In my view, the takeaway might be that it’s not the end that should be celebrated or idealized, but the magic of the whole process.
Especially in the case of this work, I love the idea that the book is just the spark, the very beginning of our journey together.
Once the book is read, there is still so much to come and feel, because the songs will come to life and be available to stream one at a time.
Thanks again for this thoughtful question, Sohamolina!
Hello Gina,
Thank you so much for introducing WORDS TO THINK. OR TO SING. to your community. I truly appreciate it and am very excited to be here. I also want to thank you for the lovely choice of the excerpt VANISH, which is about getting over written fading promises in recurring storms of emotions where the light symbolizes moments of relief while the rain stands for tears and sadness we need to get through to feel better.
In case anyone would like to explore this work a bit further before diving in, the book has recently received two thoughtful editorial recommendations, one from Literary Titan at https://literarytitan.com/2025/07/17/words-to-think-or-to-sing/ and another from Reader’s Favorite at https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/words-to-think-or-to-sing.
Wishing you an inspiring and good read already. I would love to have you all along on this special unfolding musical journey 🙂
To amazing conversations and meaningful connections,
Intensia
