This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm gonna be honest - i don't like this song, it's very...non-melodic. You have a great voice and I do enjoy your other songs - this just seems to...forced?
*The Japanese eat dolphins (endangered species) for sushi & sashimi.
*They bleed dolphins for slow & excruciatingly PAINFUL death (lasting up to 10 min.) because when the body is in pain, it releases adrenaline, which makes the meat more tasty.
*They love to eat raw horse meat, so they do the same thing to millions of horses. (Many of the horses are stolen pets from Europe & US)
Japanese method: more PAIN = more adrenaline = more TASTY
Hey naomi. I like your performance. It seems like you used a different keyboard for the live performance. The one in this vid was not very good. It had a very artificial sound. Go for a better one.
I really liked the song until the end where you sang "Smile, smile, smile, smile..." with a forced tune. Maybe that's the effect you are going for, because certain people hate to smile and you wish to make them to--but it didn't make me smile at the end, not that I hate to smile
The forced smile was exactly the efect Terra was aiming for. The lyrics talk about the strange, forced smile of the Billboard Girl and the smiles - false or otherwise of the people around her. Yet she can't find it in herself to smile and bring herself out of whatever dark mood she is in. Hence that jarring end to the song.
After hearing the song for a second time I see where she was going with it. She even hinted about her reluctance to smile as early as the few lines with a question "how can i be down?" Now I really like the song. Thanks for clearing it up.
What's with the odd look at the end? I noticed you did it in the Virtual Tour video too. It looks like you feel wrong about singing it somehow, or something, I dunno. Anyway, it's a good song.
So how can I be down, when smiling faces all around say "SMILE! SMILE! SMILE! SMILE! SMILE!"
Dunno - but I think. I guess that's how. I wonder how we're going to make it through the next Bush blunder and it really doesn't matter to me whether some bimbo is smiling because she's flaky.
Still, I'm always happy to hear good music. Takes my mind off the weirdness that is the world, right now.
Thanks for being who you are. Whoever it is cheers me up.
I love watching you perform, like some here have said, you make me smile. I'm glad to see you're moving on up in the world, I hope you make it to a venue a little closer to my side of the world. Take care of yourself, Dave.
You're such a good singer, but I'm noticing your sticking to one (your own) style of music. Try moving a iiiiitty bit away from the beat and rhythm you've already been using. Just a bit of diversity...Just as a test. ^_^
