Smile performed by Zen For Primates *Zipster08*

[Ruthvivian]

Sometimes it's possible to smile through tears

Life is ups and downs for everyone

As long as we care for eachother

and give eachother space to both smile and cry

We all

some day

might be able to

smile trough tears

:)

[watchingandthinking]

T: this is great performance.

It's incredible to see how versatile T is.

Zipster and Loco Mama are characters, and this one TS is the real one? right ?

I love Zipster.....

[dawn1962]

This is one of my favorite songs in the world. Great Job Zippy! :) Thank you for posting this.

[HunterMann]

Beautiful arrangement & performance! FYI: This was written by Charlie Chaplin for his film Modern Times. In the early 50's lyrics were added by a writing team. This song has longevity forever!

[trvlbuggy]

zipster! love him..... thanks for sharing

[Jardinami]

I love when they do this song. His voice is so rich.

[maretodd]

you still got it hun:) keep rocken!

[angelrhbucket]

Musically awesome! I love the instrumentation. Wish I could talk to them and find out how they do it!

[Goobian]

This is brill :)

[gleegirloz]

Gawd,I love this song and his rendition and the playing are both so perfect!Hope your Birthday was too!<3Glee.xx.

[PrincessDiana161]

Thanks so much sweetie!

(((HUG)))

[pakaza]

Love this song and the way you sing it Zippy.

[russell56443]

Damn I need to listen to that song every day with the life I have!

[BobbyBorg26]

That's not Zipster

[PrincessDiana161]

You're right... Zipster08 is just a character he plays on YouTube

[BobbyBorg26]

I never knew this, I love zipster, I have never been this upset since my dad told me there is no santa.

[PrincessDiana161]

Don't be upset! Zipster comes from his heart :)

[amjPeace]

I love this song so much! This is a very touching rendition by Zipster, thans for posting it.

I had the pleasure of hearing Steven Tyler do it in Boston. It was very poignant because of the recent death of his mother. Josh Groban sang Smile at Tanglewood in 2005 with the Boston Pops under the direction of John Williams, and that was really beautiful, too.

[JSB1882]

That was really nicely done by Zipster. That song was written by Charlie Chaplin.

[BMPmama698]

The music was written by Chaplin in 1936 for the movie Modern Times. The Lyrics were not written until 1954 by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons. (Sorry, I'm the word's biggest Chaplin fan...and I love Terry/Zipster!)

[Ca2rie59]

Gawd..everytime I hear him sing this song I bawl like a little baby for the beauty of it.

[loki1200]

Check out the burp at 0:54 :)

[paparazzi323]

poor zip has gas on frame 00:53 At least he it didnt came out the other end lmao.

[pakaza]

What a great voice you have.

[fehquig]

I have every CD of his that I could get. Someday I'll see the man live...

[isnanesavant]

dang for a semi old person he can sing his ass off.Go zipp!

[2RUDE71]

Hello Diana, Just curious , what's the Zipper Club? Is it a gay bar/club? Just a bar/club? I've seen a lot of videos of Zipster singing, he is very talented. Does he do this for a living?, or is it just something he does for his own enjoyment?

[PrincessDiana161]

It's a theater in Manhattan...no it's not a gay club....and yes he's been a performer most of his life.

[2RUDE71]

Ahhh, ok. Hope that wasn't taken the wrong way. I live in Western PA (Near Pittsburgh), and have never been to NYC. I guess I've lived a sheltered life in that respect. Hard to believe myself that I've never been there, as it's only like 6 hours or so by car.

[PrincessDiana161]

I didn't take it the wrong way sweetie.

(((HUGS)))

[filmidioten]

Aw one of the most beautiful songs ever. Chaplin, what a multi-talent...

[parisblonde]

zipp has a awesome voice.

[PrincessDiana161]

He's a treasure to see on stage :)

(((HUGS)))

[Sandguy99]

That was beautiful. What a message that song has, huh? Very nice camera work, Diana.

[PrincessDiana161]

It was kindda hard because of the mic in the way, but I just love that song so much I had to post it alone. I have more footage that I will post soon :)

Glad you liked it

(((HUGS)))

I saw Zen twice and I just love them. Quite unusual, a breath of fresh air. TL Roth's voice is rich and haunting. He is the man of many faces, and this video proves it!

[bromalayhoohoo]

I love watching Zipster on stage.

I'm so close to NYC but don't have a way

to get there to see him in person. :(

Maria

[ravensky23]

Thanks for posting this Diana. We were going to drive in for the concert (from CT) but I was really sick with a bad sinus infection and couldn't make it. Maybe next time. I would have loved to have seen Zip and Zen!

[stormyjayne]

This made me cry. I needed it today! My stepmother is very ill and may not make it till Christmas. This is so poignant! 5 stars and faved!

[Dlorezzz]

so sorry to hear that. I will say a prayer for your family

[PrincessDiana161]

I am so sorry to hear that Jayne

((((HUGS)))

[SohoSquare]

It's a lovely song. And fabulous to hear it by Monsieur Roth. Thanks very much for sharing!

[oneiblind30]

I'd Love to see Zip in concert Lucky you!

[gleegirloz]

Oh Diana, this is a most beautiful song .beautifully performed! It made me smile and cry at the same time,remembering my darling Dad,it was a favourite of his! Thank you so much for posting this ((HUGS))

[PrincessDiana161]

My Dad loved this song too, makes me cry every time I hear it.

(((HUGS)))

[silamuta]

fab princess diana. great vid. and dlorezz who the feck cares if he is gay. get a grip. its 2007!!!

[positivesue2u]

silamuto.....Dlorezzz is ,JOKING! If you took notice of Zips video that this is a response to, and the comments, you would have realised that:-)

[Dlorezzz]

thanks Sue. That reminds me of a time when I read something and did not know the whole story . I jumped to conclusions too. People watch the video before this one and you will understand my comment. I love Zipster and was joking...

[PrincessDiana161]

I knew you were joking sweetie :)

It's funny because when someone post something about Nalts I always type "who's Nalts?" and they get upset like everyone should know who he is. I am only joking and some people take it so seriously.

I knew you were kidding the moment I read it (((HUGS)))

[Dlorezzz]

thanks now will you please cook something..My sauce was not thick like yours. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough. It did taste good.

[Dlorezzz]

Diana you are so lucky to have been at this performance, I wish wish wish I could have been there. He is fabulous...but I heard he is gay..

[tagger960]

So what!?

He doesn't hide who he is.

[positivesue2u]

tagger960...like silamuta (the next comment) you didn't realise that Dlorezzz was JOKING...it's to do with Zipsters last video:-)

[PrincessDiana161]

LOL Dlorezz you crack me up!

(((HUGS)))

[slmeyer22]

this is one of my favorite songs ever. my gran used to sing it to us when we were little

[Daliwolf]

Wow that was great!!!

[meggiemeg86]

That's Zipster? Wow he's good.

[Zublime75]

Thank you Diana!! I love to hear him sing! he has a lovely voice!! and that sing is beautiful!

[PinkSander]

Thanks so much for posting that Diana! I absolutely love Zips voice! I hope he comes to my area and when Another Pretty Face decides to do a reunion tour. I've already asked my mom to get me the Face Facts album! lol

[missdivinestalls]

[positivesue2u]

This is special to me too and I play it whenever I'm feeling down:-)

[PrincessDiana161]

[Zipster08]

Um...it's called JAZZ!
