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 Sumer 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 menos

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my 1st video. You have given me a little more confidence to do a 2nd one:) Yey! So here it is xxx Lyrics: *Run baby, run baby, run, run... Run baby, run baby, run, run... Look at the river beside you, You're not alone. Look at the sky above you, You're not alone. Just pack your bags and go, Get your things and know, That you will be alright, baby, You'll always be alright. *Run baby... Life's a bitch, I've always wished I was a witch, To clean up mess, And to stitch people up I don't like. But just pack your bags and go, Get your things and know, That you will be alright, baby, You'll always be alright. *Run baby... Away you go, you don't need it, It's un-compatable! *Run baby... xxxxx menos

My first video to upload online, it feels a little weird to be sharing my songs this way. But thanks for listening & more soon:) The dodgy movie edit in the middle of the song is very random I know... It was actually just meant to be a wee something to cover up a wee mistake but I ended up spending hours trying to work out 'Windows Movie Maker' as I'd never used it before. It would've been so much quicker to just record another take! Oops...oh well... At least I "sort of" know how to use the programme now ;) xxx Lyrics: 1) Sign after sign, I was in denial every time. Nothing hurts me more, than to see you cry. But love is making me blind, And I don't have what's only mine, You know I still care, but I'm simply just not there yet. ***Call me Miss Want It All, I'm having a bit of a crisis of dentity. Call me impossible, but I'm tired of acting old and responsible. 2) Time after time, I pretended it was fine. Nothing scares me more, than to see you try. But love is making me blind, And I don't have what's only mine, You know I still care, but I'm simply just not there yet. ***Call me... xxx menos
