I accepted a MySpace friend request from Colbie Caillat about three & a half years ago. I promote my chords and lyrics website on my MySpace account, so I get a lot of friend requests from bands and artists.
She was an unsigned artist then, but had already had a huge number of listeners to the songs featured on her MySpace page. She has a great voice, and the songs even back then were polished and professional, so I was telling anyone who would listen that she was going to be 'BIG!'.
I've posted chords and lyrics for the brilliant "Bubbly", which had over 22 million plays on her MySpace page before taking the US charts by storm and hitting the #1 single spot in May 2007, and also chords and lyrics for "Realize", which was also a top 20 hit from the debut album "Coco".
I have now worked out my interpretation of her latest single "Fallin' for You", released in June 2009, and which went straight into the US charts at #12. Still puzzling as to why this success isn't mirrored in the UK and Europe, maybe it's just a matter of time.
For those who are familiar with these songs, and would like to attempt playing them, I have worked out fairly easy to play versions which you can reach at the links below:
Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly" chords and lyrics.
Colbie Caillat - "Realize" chords and lyrics.
Colbie Caillat - "Fallin' For You" chords and lyrics.
If you're not familiar with the songs, you can check them out at these links:
Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly" on YouTube.
Colbie Caillat - "Realize" on YouTube.
Colbie Caillat - "Fallin For You" on YouTube.
You can buy her great new album "Breakthrough", or her brilliant first album "Coco", featuring "Bubbly" and her other singles at CD Universe - Colbie Caillat music page
Colbie's official website is at http://www.colbiecaillatmusic.com/ Her world renowned MySpace page is at http://www.myspace.com/colbiecaillat - this is a 'must visit' page!!!
P.S. - In case you're wondering, my latest tip for the next band to make it big via MySpace is a Canadian rock band recently re-invented as "Moeraes Fate" and previously known as "Dame", now gigging and recording as "Moeraes Fate" - check out their new & old MySpace pages at http://www.myspace.com/moeraesfateband and http://www.myspace.com/dameband Moeraes Fate are a fantastic 3 piece all-girl rock band who are destined for greatness. You heard it here first!
Enjoy your music!

Moeraes Fate ( was Dame ) - Listen and vote for the future of rock!
Ok, I have a small favour to ask. It will take a few minutes of your time, but I think it will be an enjoyable experience. It involves listening to a great new band called Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ). NOTE 29 Sept 09 - Dame have been re-invented as Moraes Fate, are about to release a new EP, and you can follow their fortunes at Moeraes Fate on Facebook
Because of my song chords website, I've been involved in pretty much all of the social media sites for several years now. Needless to say, most of my Myspace and Facebook 'friends' are bands and artists - 'birds of a feather' and all that. Which is great, because I get to listen to new bands and keep my finger on the pulse of new music.
Back in November 2007 I created a blog post here extolling the virtues of Dame ( now Moeraes Fate ) - a band from the Toronto area, who are still the best new band I've heard on any of the music community websites I subscribe to. Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ) are a trio of young ladies who belt out some of the best rock sounds I've heard in years. Which is astonishing when you realise that none of them are over 18. They have won numerous competitions for bands in the Toronto, Canada area, and are my tip to join artists like Colbie Caillat and The Fleet Foxes ( both of whom I had previously supported and promoted ) in the transition from MySpace to the recording studio and international recognition.
What I would ask of you is to visit the voting site on YouDiscover and vote for Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ). You'll find two of their live videos, and two songs on audio here, but I would suggest that you also visit the Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ) MySpace page to get the bigger picture - some of their earlier songs, Cyclops, Intervention and Hey Angel show off their lead singer Katee's bass guitar skills, as well as her kickass vocals, alternately sweetly seductive and in-your-face goddamn scary! This is a live acoustic version of one of their new songs "Making of the new me":
Add this to Ali's aggressive-blues licks, and Kayla's mission to beat the crap outta that drumkit ( in the best possible way! ) and you have a rock band which I'm convinced will punch their way to the mainstream, and really soon.
I know you will have received requests to listen to dozens of new bands, but please visit YouDiscover , listen, enjoy and VOTE FOR DAME! You know it makes sense - don't make me tell you in a few months that "I told you so...!"
Thanks for your attention, I'll be posting more song chords and lyrics really soon!
Enjoy your music,
PJ

The best band in Cyberspace - Moeraes Fate ( was Dame )!!
Yes, I know this is meant to be a song chords blog...
This is only the second time I have posted off-topic, and once again it's a 'heads up' on the best new band I've heard in a long, long time.
Firstly, I should make it clear that I have no connection with this band whatsoever, except for the musical connection I have with all of my favourite bands.
I discovered them ( not literally! ) on MySpace some months ago, and posted a link here to an online Battle of the Bands contest, in which they were embroiled at the time - for those of you who took the time to check out the band and vote for them - many thanks. I know from the feedback that you all felt as strongly as I that these girls are going places.
For those who haven't been introduced to the phenomenon that is Dame ( update Sep 29 09 - band now called "Moeraes Fate", you can listen to four of their self-penned, 'progressive-aggressive' kickass rocking songs on their MySpace page www.myspace.com/moeraesfateband
They have now kindly sent me a link to a YouTube video montage of their performances at Lost Lounge, Missauga. Follow the link below for a taste of the high-octane, sheer exhuberance that is Moeraes Fate ( was Dame ) in concert:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzvIqeZDqy0
... and don't worry, normal service will be resumed very shortly! Meanwhile browse thru the selection of over 1,600 easy-to-play versions of your favourite songs on my Guitar Chords and Lyrics website, or check out the latest additions on my 'New Songs' page
And when the irrepressible Moeraes Fate have achieved world domination... just remember, 'When they were Dame, I told you so....'
Enjoy your music!

Their MS blurb says 'Recommended if you like Audioslave with chunks of Iron Maiden.'. I think this is selling themselves short. I would recommend them to anyone who likes REAL rock music.
For once, a post which has nothing at all to do with my website ( there will be new song chords very soon, don't panic! ).

Battle of the Bands - Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame )
For once, a post which has nothing at all to do with my website ( there will be new song chords very soon, don't panic! ).
But I discovered a fantastic band on MySpace called Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame), and they are currently embroiled in an online Battle of the Bands. I think they could go a long way, and would love to see them win this, so please give 'em your support!
Click the banner below, click the links to check out their songs, and give them a helping hand! They are a very young band, but don't be fooled, they are not just 'good for their age', they are REALLY good. I'm sure you will agree.
UPDATE 29th Sept 09: Dame have re-invented themselves as "Moeraes Fate", and are about to release a new EP. You can find out more about Moeraes Fate, and listen to their songs at www.myspace.com/moeraesfateband
