Hera sings like an angel! But – who would have thought that she can be this quirky and a little bit evil?

This video was filmed at the old Barbados street graveyard in Christchurch New Zealand, with animations done by Marc Fairbairn … (see below) All photos in the video are actually Hera herself when she was an evil little child! ~ j/k

About Hera

Source: Hera Sings!

Born in Iceland, but based in NZ for the past decade, Hera is one of the most promising singer songwriters on the world stage today.

A prodigious talent from early on, Hera began playing classical guitar at the age of 8, and writing her own songs by the time she was 14. Now, at 22, Hera features on over 13 compilations and has released five studio albums – four in English and one in Icelandic, “Hafid Thennan Dag ”(2003), which went Gold last year in Iceland.

Hera’s first two albums were independently produced, published and distributed. However , when a track from her second album, “Itchy Palms”, was chosen as the title song the Icelandic film, “Hafi_(The Sea)”, Hera found herself not only performing at the premier, but having the title song in a film that went on to win eight Edda Awards (Iceland’s Oscar equivalent) and be distributed in over 30 countries.

Hera claimed two nominations at the 2002 Icelandic music awards, winning “Best Singer”; an award that had been dominated by the likes of Bjork and Emiliana Torrini for the past decade. Her song “Makebelieve” was a finalist in the 2002 USA songwriting competition, and became the third most played song on Icelandic radio in 2003.

Sure .. I probably looked pretty freaky during rush hour traffic with my stereo cranked and blasting and me shouting as loud as I can …

You, you really should have known!
Yeah you, you really should have known
Just Because … Just Because …

Just Because – It’s Jane’s Addiction
- CRANK IT!!!!!!

* Lyrics

“Just Because”

If I were you
I’d better watch out
When was the last time
You did anything
Not for me
Or any one else
Just because?
Just because?
You, you really should have known
Yeah you, you really should have known
Just because
Just because

You got the most
But nobody loves you
Nobody has to
Just because
Just because

You, you really should have known
Yeah you, I think you really should have known
Just because
Just because

When we first met
We passed around gifts
That was a long time ago
And yours didn”t fit

Yeah you, you really should have known
Yeah you, oh you really should have known
Just because
Just because
Just because

Have you seen the Grindhouse Double Feature movies yet? First there was “Grindhouse Presents: Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof” (Death Proof) and then “Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror” (Planet Terror). They bundled it up as a double feature and if you get your popcorn, and drinks and sit in front of the T.V., it lasts about 3-3/4 hours.

Anyway… April March is actually a person who sings this song called “Chick Habit” .. and it’s the last song in the movie Death Proof, before the credits. Enjoy.

Here’s another version on YouTube .. of April March 1/18/2008

If I ever wrote a song and ever had a rock band once again and ever made a YouTube video .. I think I would also want to have some sort of choreographed dancing with hundreds of people just for the heck of it .. just like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video, or Asaf Avidan & the Mojos “Hangwoman” video

That was the amazing band “Asaf Avidan & The Mojos” (an Israeli band)
“Hangwoman” written and composed by Asaf Avidan … Editor & Director: Sivan mor. Do you think they sound a little like Led Zeppelin? Do you think his voice sounds a little like Janis Joplin?

urikalish of the famous Urikalization Blog thinks so!
