"Being Me" - The Strange Familiar

[retrocheese]

Just saw your music video play at Hardee's while eating breakfast! Made my food taste better. Good message!

[xxemoxxkirbyxx]

Are you famous yet! Praying for you!

[thedoilie]

of course it is AMAZING it's The Strange Familiar!! This is definitely worth buying on iTunes! SO EVERYONE MUST GET IT!!!

[Airaheta1fan]

great message..

[Yeshua4SW]

Kira and company, LOVE this!!!!  hahaha this is epic. i think this is the first song i've heard that actually says "SEX" and isn't being vulgar about it. way to freaking go. :D i love people's reactions too hahaha

[RitaMoulderAuthor]

I'm putting this on my Kindle and laptop. Amazing. You need to be friggin famous

[SeXephon]

Also to mention I was so surprised that it was in public. It caught my attention and that got me loving her and the video.

[SeXephon]

I love the song. I love the video. Its great that she did it out in public instead of like most singers that do it in a studio. Great Music Video but too bad it was meant for girls and not guy so it would be kind of gay for me to get this song and relate to it.

[fairlyfiona]

I love the sneaky dude stealing her clothes. FOR HIS WANK BANK :L

[thestrangefamiliar]

Get the song on iTunes! Show us some love and leave a review :)

xoxo

<3 Kira

[KashumeChar]

I loved the people in the background. Most of their reactions were WTF?!

[bestofnewmexico]

I'm just crazy about this video just the way it is. Just goes to show you don't need a big budget to do a great video when the concept is good and the song is awesome! (Btw, I'm a near 60 yr old woman.)

[peacetoafrica]

I've been listening to your music for a while now, and I have yet to hear a song I don't like. I love this video and the idea behind it. It has already become one of my favorite songs in my music library and it's on repeat for the time being! :) I'm posting it on my facebook because people need to see how amazing it is. I wish you lots of luck and success because you deserve it. Keep sending awesome positive messages through your music! PS: When are you going to be playing in NJ or NYC area? :)

[thestrangefamiliar]

@peacetoafrica THANK YOU SO MUCH! So glad you like the new music. The video was a really fun impromptu kind of thing - but we're really glad we pulled it off. Nothing like just being yourself ;) Hopefully we'll be playing NYC or NJ sooner than later, now that we are back on the east coast for a little while!

[peacetoafrica]

@thestrangefamiliar You're welcome! Yeah, you definitely pulled it off!!! Awesome, I hope I get to see you guys play sooner rather than later then! :) -Julie

[kdpinklady]

Kira - was it really hot underneath all those jackets and wigs? Don't know how you survived the California heat in all that! But I love the concept, it's really cool!

[thestrangefamiliar]

@kdpinklady haha! yes - it was pretty warm - especially with the wigs and the pleather vest!! that thing was like wearing a parka haha - but it was worth it :) Thanks - so glad you enjoyed the video!

[trc2rockon]

Well, at least this didn't go like Erykah Badu's Window Seat...

[thestrangefamiliar]

@trc2rockon haha! yes... not where I wanted to go with this ;)

[TheGoldenHummingbird]

This is so refreshing! I am definitely a fan! keep up the great work.

[thestrangefamiliar]

@TheGoldenHummingbird Thanks for being  a fan!!! :)

[Cbrowns2012]

i love those transformers things that you dance with!!! great video!!

[thestrangefamiliar]

@Cbrowns2012 haha the transformers definitely added something ;)

[sonicbumblebeee]

1:41 my favorite. i love transformers. and i get abnormal about it.

[HottieBobby22]

I can't tell if you're criticizing Perry, Gaga, Glee, etc. or just claiming you're different yet still respect their styles?

[thestrangefamiliar]

@HottieBobby22 Not criticizing.. just saying that I can't be someone else & I'm not even gonna try. I'm making peace with just being who I am :) I don't think you can be happy when you're trying to squeeze into someone else's shoes, so to speak. Thanks for asking!

-Kira

[HottieBobby22]

@thestrangefamiliar Wow that's actually really a great message :) and you're totally right! I tried to be someone else, a straight football jock, for years and I was miserable even though everyone loved me! Now I have less friends but thankfully I've made a new one: myself! Thankyou for this song, best of luck!!

[thestrangefamiliar]

@HottieBobby22 Thanks :) that's really cool... Ya, I think there is so much pressure to fit inside a tiny box.. and we all strive to become society's idea of perfection.. that's when I think life gets boring! When we accept who we are as unique individuals - that's when we can really soar!

hugs, Kira

[JazbawockeeZ]

KIRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!! it's Joseph from Shantigarh. I hope you guys are doing good! :)

[thestrangefamiliar]

@JazbawockeeZ JOOOOOSEEEEEEPH!!!! haha! Hey - we are doing great! Hope you're doing well! Keep John & everyone in Shantigarh in line :)

[JazbawockeeZ]

@thestrangefamiliar Will do! :)

[annabelladawnn]

That was amazing! Hopefully i get to be in the next video. Not sure if you remember me. I was in the Courage Is music video. The little baby you high-fived? I was the oldest. I had a blast. AND I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!

[thestrangefamiliar]

@annabelladawnn Yes! of course we remember you! :) Thanks - so glad you are liking this new song / video!

[thisisorganic]

@annabelladawnn i remember you too! i edited that video and got to see your pretty face every day for a month while making it :)

[annabelladawnn]

@thisisorganic Really?

[mslex91]

awww! yay it looks so good! :)

[thestrangefamiliar]

@mslex91 thanks so much! :) you guys most definitely helped us rock this one out!

[isleeeping]

ahh great song (: sometimes it's hard to be yourself, and sometimes i just wanna be a storm trouper

[thestrangefamiliar]

@isleeeping aww thanks... hah and yes to being a storm trooper!!

[lucalandian]

i love the kid in the red shirt that joins in the dance at 1:47

[thisisorganic]

@lucalandian i know, right?!

[JuanTucoRamirez]

hey kira, does jeff play that same silver guitar?

[JuanTucoRamirez]

oh, the irony had kira only finished by stepping straight into the limo parked to her left.

[thestrangefamiliar]

@JuanTucoRamirez hahah yes! why didn't we think of that?!



[JuanTucoRamirez]

@thestrangefamiliar too Blazing Saddles like?

[rrobi420]

haha again, even better than I pictured ... awesome song, awesome video

[thestrangefamiliar]

@rrobi420 hah thanks! :)

[LoviMonster]

Everyone's reaction was hilarious! And I really like then song, I can not wait for the album! :D <3

[thestrangefamiliar]

@LoviMonster it was a fun video to shoot! haha - and we can't wait to get the new cd out! very soon :)

[LittleMissRiffi]

This was amazing! And I love the message of the song. I also enjoyed people's reactions, those were great. xD

Can't wait for the album!!! <3

[thestrangefamiliar]

@LittleMissRiffi Cool! Thanks so much. The randomness of people and their reactions were even more hilarious in person lol Stay tuned!

[thisisorganic]

the best part is watching the reactions of all the tourists around kira. sometimes they seem to drool over her, other times they seem completely disturbed lol. look at the girls behind her when she rips off the sparkly red tube top. lol, it looks like they are straight out of "mean girls"

[eyebrowzs]

awwe!(: i loved it, i keep replaying it over and over again!

[thestrangefamiliar]

@eyebrowzs Yay! Thanks!! :)
