***Message from Clara***
IM BACK!!!
Hello everyone, hope you are well.
I have finally got round to doing my 5th video. I know its been ages and I do apologise for my lack of communication...so sorry!
Ive been caving out in a studio in Notting Hill (West London) for the last few months recording my first album. It has been A LOT of work, like I was doing non-stop 16hrs a day, every single day. I didnt see any daylight for the whole of this summer! Yikes. But Ive really enjoyed the process and its been so therapeutic to de-clutter my thoughts and ideas out of my brain and to have them turned into an actual real physical product. So lovely! Though I think my brain has now got too much room, Im a little off balanced and spaced out...

This album, I am so proud of it! Ive never said this about anything Ive done in life, so its a big deal for me.
It is self-produced, with some help from the guys in my band. Ive had no creative input from any producer or songwriter, and that is exactly what I wanted to do this time round, to make it all me (now you know why I was in the studio for 16hrs per day!). Its been great to have to not compromise and have no fights with anyone over ideas etc.
My whole lifes work has gone in to it, so the album sounds a bit like the insides of my brain...yuk! Haha:0
But anyway, I have no regrets or excuses, which is the main thing.

Life is still hectic but this particular chapter is about to end, recording done, mixing done! Now I just have to get the tracks mastered, and I will get this done as soon as I can afford it. In the meantime, I am working on the artwork etc...

Rewinding back a couple of months...
My inbox went crazy again... One morning (25th of July to be precise) I had lots of traffic in my email account and I wasnt sure why, but then my friend told me that my Summer Face video had been featured on the homepage of YouTube!
My oh my!
Ive had such a lot of lovely comments and messages both on YouTube and MySpace! Thank you sooooo much! Sorry I havent been able to respond to your thoughts and requests. But simply there arent enough hours in a day to do everything! I have read them ALL though, and I was crying...again! (out of joy ofcourse) Every comment/message puts a smile on my face, gives me hope and a massive boost to keep going. You really have given me so much encouragement and support, I didnt realise there were so many lovely people in the world! You only hear such crap news on TV! I just assumed that the world was going bust. But its so comforting to know that there is still hope and a lot of love to go around...(sorry, a bit of a cheesy moment there...)

Moving on...
Some of you asked for lyrics so I put them up on my descriptions bit beside each video.
I havent got any tabs though, Im sorry.

This song is about the battle of being a female, the pain I refer to in verse2 is about waxing legs etc...nothing too deep.

Oh Well...
I want yours, and you want mine.
Maybe we will never be happy in time for the day we die, and say goodbye.
Dweedi darup ba dulia du dai...
Oh well, I guess thats the way it goes.
But surely theres more to life than just to get that nose?
Or wait forever just to be proposed?
Heyda da dup ba du di du dai...

***Oh well, oh well, does anybody hear a bell? x2

I want yours, and you want mine.
Cos we dont think we have what it takes to shine.
We go through pain and spend a lot of time.
Dweedi darup ba du di du dai...
Oh well, maybe thats the way it goes.
To impress the guys you have to strike the right pose.
You find one you like, theyre always gay. Who knows...?
Give a big sigh, were aloud to cry.

***Oh well...

Theres no time to dwell my friends.
We must compel til the end.

***Oh well...

Also I did an interview with Ploomy.com a while back and they sent me a T-shirt! They were such lovely people and gave me a lot of support and encouragement, so I thought Id wear the T-shirt in this video as a little thanks to them.
If you are interested you can read the interview here...

I will keep you updated regarding the album, hopefully it will be ready soon.

Thanks again and more soon!
