#3 Clara Belle (& Ukulele) - "Summer Face" original song Oh my goodness!!! My video views had gone up from 400 to 25000 literally, over night... What!!!??? The world of internet is a very crazy place! And my myspace page, which I had completely forgotten about, had so many "friend's requests"...! Thank you so very much for all of your lovely comments and messages. I read them ALL and of course my head was huge for a while until I spoke to my mum who brought me right back down to planet earth...haha:-0 But anyway, I really didn't expect this reaction from you all, it was just a quick video I did very geekishly to test out my new web-cam! (And yes, it turns out 'not so good' in the dark!... thanks for your advice though, I will get a light bulb! Why didn't I think-a that!? haha:) I'm not quite sure how this has happened but I guess I have to thank the person (Mark?) who put me on the boingboing.net website? Thank you!!!xxxxx Here is my 3rd video; the song is called Summer Face. By the way, the other voice is also me, so please don't think that I made someone sing the harmonies and I was mean enough to hog the camera... Some questions answered... Q: Can I buy your CD? A: Thank you so much, that is so nice... Didn't think anyone would say that...ever! I have been trying to get a CD together for friggin' years! I've been on a very long journey to find the sound that I am comfortable with. I even tried being a Rock Chick once...oh my god! So not me. How uncomfortable and awkward was I!?... I'm a real geek at heart (I love it!), couldn't pull off being 'cool' to save my life! But anyway, at the time I wasn't confident enough to stick to what I believed in and what I loved, and in that process of trying to be appealing or trying to please others, I actually totally lost myself and was very confused for a long time, didn't really know what was what...hmmm... So! Many failed demos and "new directions" later I am finally going to record my next EP/Album this summer (hopefully, I'll manage to get the funding together...Come on Universe! Can't believe I just said "universe"...). So the answer is no, I haven't got a CD but watch this space, I will keep you posted:) Q: Is it really a Ukulele!? A: many of you didn't believe that it was a ukulele because it has 6 strings but it is quite simply a 6 string tenor ukulele. 2 of the strings are just doubled up in octaves. And yes! I know my ukulele playing is not brilliant but I only started playing it in Feb (this year), so I'm still learning. I was so uninspired and bored with the piano, probably because I teach it (I am a piano and singing teacher)... I still love it but I needed something fresh and new. So! I met Alfred (the ukulele)...I know it's quite sad to name your instrument but mine came with a name when I bought it! The shop-man said "Aha! I have the perfect instrument for you...wait here a second... (after some digging)... here it is! It's called Alfred!"... So there we go... Q: Do you write the songs? A: Yes, I do. Well, obviously apart from the covers. Q: What is your nationality? A: I am half Scottish (mum) and half Japanese (dad). Q: Will you marry me? A: Ok, but only if you become my house wife. I'll call you wifey:) You'll have to do all the cooking and cleaning + look after the kids!... no seriously, I'm very flattered but I'm not the marrying kind. Haha:0 Q: Were you named after the cartoon cow? A: This one was my favourite!!! I totally laughed out loud!:0 Lets say yes for now, I would love that! :) Thanks a million:) and more very soon! Clara xxx Lyrics: When I take a look outside my little window frame, The sun is standing beside me, with its golden flame, If only I could always see beyond me and my name, I want to stay here by the seaside, feeling no more shame. * But why does it always come to an end when I like it like this? I give in, I sweetly surrender... ba da ba ba rup... *** Life is so complicated, I sigh and smile with respect, I try to be optimistic, And sometimes I even try to accept it. Since I made a move to find my favourite Summer Face, I realise I can never go against, flow of melody, Liquid sunshine flow through my body and soul, Healing my heart, and all fading away now, now, now... * But why... *** Life is so... xxxxx
