YouTube star?

Just want to talk about the phenomenon brought upon by YouTube and the accessibility it creates for aspiring artistes to the masses. If you're any of those who scours the Internet for entertainment, you might get into difficulties of separating the really good self made 'gem' of an artiste from the posers and wannabes.

Terra Naomi, IMHO undoubtedly is one of those rare gems that is hard to come by. I heard about her a while back, but just remembered her today when I heard another artiste that (tried to?) sound like her.

This classically trained performer-songwriter and all round artiste through and through, got into the 'INDUSTRY' through her first YouTube video entitled 'Say It's Possible'. After playing in clubs and cafes, 'Say It's Possible' really created a spur of interest that carried her brand of songwriting and alternative pop rock to the celebrated consciousness of tapping-feet and nodding-heads everywhere.

And when I wiki-ed her, found out that she had signed a record deal. Wow. Really feel good about this one. Better than those one hit wonders eye-dols and 1 in a mill wannabes.

Well, keep an eye out for this lass.



Terra Naomi - Say It's Possible

I see the lights are turning and I look outside
The stars are burning through this changing time
It could have been anything we want
It's fine, salvation was just a passing thought
It was just a passing thought

Don't wait, act now
This amazing offer won't last long
It's only a chance to pave the path we're on
I know there are more exciting things to talk about
And in time we'll sort it out
And in time we'll sort it out

And though they say it's possible
To me, I don't see how it's probable
I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know
I'll hold on
Tell me that you won't let go
Tell me that you won't let go

And truth is such a funny thing
With all these people
Keep on telling me
They know what's best
And what to be frightened of
And all the rest are wrong
They know nothing about us
They know nothing about us

And though they say it's possible
To me, I don't see how it's probable
I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know
I'll hold on
Tell me that you won't let go
Tell me that you won't let go

I'm not alright

And though they say it's possible
To me, I don't see how it's probable
I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know
I'll hold on
Tell me that you won't let go

And though they say it's possible
To me, I don't see how it's probable
I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know
I'll hold on
Tell me that you won't let go
Tell me that you won't let go

This could be something beautiful
Combine our love into something wonderful
But times are tough I know
And the pull of what we can't give up takes hold
