Martha Wainwright (born May 8, 1976) is a Canadian-American folk-rock singer-songwriter. She is the daughter of American folk singer and actor Loudon Wainwright III and Canadian folk singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle. She was raised in a musical family along with her older brother, Rufus Wainwright, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Wainwright released an independent cassette, Ground Floor, in 1997. The following year, her song "Year of the Dragon" appeared on The McGarrigle Hour, an album released by Kate and Anna McGarrigle. Shortly after this recording, Martha began singing backup vocals for her brother, and released the six-song EP Martha Wainwright in 1999.
Following her drama classes at Montreal's Concordia University, she moved to New York City, where she established herself as singer and songwriter. She made contacts within the industry, one of whom was producer Brad Albetta, who worked with Wainwright to produce her self-titled debut album, Martha Wainwright (released April 12, 2005, by MapleMusic Recordings).

Genres: Drama,Do you wanna wanna wanna grow up to be
The kind you only wanna shut up
And if time runs through your veins
And causes you nothing but pain
You're just like the rest of us
You're just like the rest of us
You're just like the rest of us
You're just like the rest of us
My mama told me to get to bed
To get my beauty sleep
But one day you get up
And there's nothing left of your week
Just like the rest of us
Just like the rest of us
Just like the rest of us
Just like the rest of us
Time goes by & then you realize
Doesn't matter who you're crying for
It's all just a big surprise
And you're left outside the door
And you're left outside the door
Do you wanna wanna wanna know why
I ain't ever gonna die
Cause I'm too young to think about it
And too old not to try
Not like you
Not like you
Not like you
Not like you
Time goes by & then you realize
Doesn't matter who you're crying for
It's all just a big surprise
