Terra's Bio in her own words.

I was conceived sometime in the month of September in Missoula, Montana during a cross-country road trip. I would like to say that my parents carefully planned the event, had an attachment to Missoula, picked the music, created the mood, readied themselves to bring a new life into this world, but in reality, a condom broke.

Following a fairly unexceptional geeky art and music-filled, rejection-driven high school experience, I went off to the University of Michigan to study classical voice. Whereas high school was not what you might call a real social Mecca for me, I had been told that college would be different. It was true -- once there, I was finally able to find people with similar interests -- namely loud music, drug use, and general self-destruction.

Needless to say, college was a blur, but I did learn one thing: I did not want to be a classical musician.

After graduation and a short period dedicated to getting to know my parents as the people they really are (read: moving home with Mom and Dad), I decided to go to New York City to explore the option of rock stardom. I picked up a guitar and wrote songs, played at clubs throughout the East Village, and subsequently pursued my other dream of becoming a waitress. The waitressing went well, with the exception of a few spills here and there and one unfortunate incident involving a plate of chicken curry and a designer handbag. After absorbing everything the service industry had to offer, I hit the road and booked a national tour. This resulted in high gas and mechanic bills and an offer to move out to Los Angeles to work with acclaimed producer Paul Fox. So here I am now, a successful screenwriter. (not really)

Here are some facts that seem to be included in most of the musician biographies I read: Some musical influences: Joni Mitchell, Elliott Smith, Patty Griffin, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Radiohead, James Taylor, Aimee Mann, Carole King, Lucinda Williams, Elton John, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Nirvana.

Some achievements: Toured Europe as a choir soloist when I was 17, sang in the Aspen Music Festival when I was 20, they tell me I graduated with honors from U of M, though I don't remember much about my whole college experience, played in the 2001 CMJ music festival, the 2002 Midwest Music Summit, and the 2002 Bumbershoot festival in Seattle (that was really cool), booked a 20+ date summer tour in 2002 including a performance at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Independent Songwriter Webzine's March 2002 "Featured Artist", Performing Songwriter Magazine's "Top 12 DIY Releases" for December 2002, featured in Dirty Linen Magazine, Indie-music.com and Indiecrit.com. I also sang on Secret underarm deodorant commercials for cash. I now live in Los Angeles where I write songs, practice guitar and piano, go to shows, and play in the sunshine. I look forward to my first boob job and the subtle yet lasting personality changes that occur as a result of living in such a vacuous city.

Addendum:

It has been 3 years since I wrote this bio. I thought I was awfully clever including the "boob job" line, but now, after countless inquiries from fans, I have learned that humor does not always translate online.

Here's some of the stuff that's happened in the past 3 years:

I toured the country a bunch more times, made a few more CDs which I sold out of (about 6000 copies in total), continued to work with Paul Fox. This June I decided to put some videos up on Youtube.com and called it my Virtual Summer Tour. My usual summer tours included lots of driving, crappy hotels and terribly high gas bills. The tour from my apartment in Hollywood seemed like a fun alternative. In the past 2 months those videos have been viewed 2.5 million times. I am the #1 Most Subscribed Musician on Youtube. (P.Diddy is #2...hehe) In August I decided to release a CD, based on the number of requests I was getting from Youtubers around the world. That CD sold out of the first run of 2000 copies in 8 days. Before we had even received the CD from the manufacturer. We are now into our second run of 2000.

In August I played my first show in London. It was my first time in the UK. People from Italy, France and Germany flew in for the show. People drove from all over England; some from 4 hours away. It was an unexpected and wonderful reception.

I was recently interviewed by CNBC and have been featured in numerous news publications in articles dealing with the new world of online promotion and music distribution. It is indeed a changing industry and I am thrilled to be one of the success stories.

Album Lyrics.

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.

Don't wait act now
This amazing offer wont 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 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 wont let go
Tell me that you wont let go

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

And though they say it's possible to me
I don't see how its probable
I see the course we're on
Spinning farther from what I know
I'll hold on
Tell me that you wont let go
Tell me that you wont let go

I'm not alright
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
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 wont let go
Tell me that you wont let go

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

Not Sorry.
I saw her just the other day
Seen what you mean, yeah she’s okay
Seems like a sweet enough girl
But she’s not me

You take the lead
I’ll take your hand
I’ll follow you just like we planned
Up to your room and lock the door
Not sorry

Cause I can see it’s true
That you adore me
Let’s not leave this room til tomorrow morning

Cause I don’t care about your plans
Don’t care if you’re somebody’s man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me

So tell her any way you can
Just let her go, she’ll understand
And if she doesn’t, that’s too bad
Not sorry

I’m not normally quite this bold
I’ve been a good girl so I’m told
Not usually the type to take what’s not mine

But I look at you and I can see that you’re the only one for me
Let’s not pretend it’s something else
I’d rather we not fool ourselves

And if she’s sad I’ve got some words of comfort
She’s better off without someone who doesn’t want her

Cause I don’t care about your plans
Don’t care if you’re somebody’s man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me

So tell her any way you can
Just let her go, she’ll understand
And if she doesn’t, that’s too bad
Not sorry

And I believe in circumstances
Trust in fate and take your chances
And I know that love is all we need
And you will fall in love with me
You will fall love with me

Cause I don’t care about your plans
Don’t care if you’re somebody’s man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me

So tell her any way you can
Just let her go, she’ll understand
And if she doesn’t, that’s too bad
Not sorry

Cause I don’t care about your plans
Don’t care if you’re somebody’s man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me

So tell her any way you can
Just let her go, she’ll understand
And if she doesn’t, that’s too bad
Not sorry.

Up Here.
Roll into your town and I’m walking around
Got some extra time think I’ll throw some money down
And you follow me around
You’re asking for the time
You're asking what I found
Think I’m gonna rob you blind

Maybe it’s the tattoo on my arm
That I drew while I was bored waiting tables in New York
Well, A heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine
I can see your point, I can see your point

But up here I am who I am
And if you don’t like it then fuck you man
I’m not a thief and a whore
Please don’t follow me around next time I’m shopping in your store, Yeah

And up here I’m making you aware
That if you don’t like me well I don’t care
I’ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with me
Well that’s your problem man

After I’ve paid count the money that you made
Then you go to the show like to be entertained
And I get up on the stage
Trained monkey in a cage
It’s just another day, Just another day

And I can see you from my place on the stage
Third row center aisle
Hot blonde with you
All smiles
And you got another woman but that’s in another town
You can’t wait til this is over
Gonna lay that honey down

And up here I am who I am
And if you don’t like it then fuck you man
I’m not a thief and a whore
Please don’t follow me around next time I’m shopping in your store, Yeah

And up here I’m making you aware
That if you don’t like me well I don’t care
I’ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with me
Well that’s your problem man

And your good values taught you how to behave
Who to treat kindly and who to enslave
And like all good men you still fall to the floor
When a great big rack
And a ripe round ass
Walk through that door…

But up here I am who I am
And if you don’t like it then fuck you man
I’m not a thief and a whore
Please don’t follow me around next time I’m shopping in your store, Yeah

And up here I’m making you aware
That if you don’t like me well I don’t care
I’ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with it
Well that’s your problem, man

I am who I am
Making You aware
And I am who I am.

I'm Happy.
This city's just waiting to crack
This house is not a home
This is me under attack
This is my self control

And I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody

I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody

And if you're looking to me for salvation
I'm fresh out
And If you're wanting to vent your frustration
What about
When I look at you I don't see what I used to see
If I want a better life I'm sorry
Forgive me
You're angry
You should be
I'm happy

Why don't we just take a step back
Examine what you are
You're where the line goes slack
You're a fantastic scar

And you thought I was somebody else
You thought I was somebody else
You didn't know I was somebody...

You thought I was somebody else
You thought I was somebody else
You didn't know I was somebody...

And if you're looking to me for salvation
I'm fresh out
And If you're wanting to vent your frustration
What about
When I look at you I don't see what I used to see
If I want a better life I'm sorry
Forgive me
You're angry
You should be
I'm happy

When I look at you I don't see what I used to see
If I want a better life I'm sorry
Forgive me
You're angry
You should be
I'm happy

And if you're looking to me for salvation
I'm fresh out
And If you're wanting to vent your frustration
What about
When I look at you I don't see what I used to see
If I want a better life I'm sorry
Forgive me
You're angry
You should be
I'm happy

When I look at you I don't see what I used to see
If I want a better life I'm sorry
Forgive me
You're angry
You should be
I'm happy

Im happy..

Never Quite Discussed.
You're the closest thing I know to love so
Let me in
The moon is glowing white
And time's a-wasting
And don't you want to know
What happens when

We start at the start
Before it becomes that thing
That thing that broke my heart in two
We've been here before
That place where we dwell until
We find we both want something more

Let's pretend that for a moment
We have never loved before
Touch my skin
And I will kiss your lips and
We can both ignore
That feeling of wait

What happens in time
I know this is cool for now
But I just might change my mind and leave
You're there in the dust
I know that you loved me a lot
But it was never quite discussed.

We start at the start
Before it becomes that thing
That thing that broke my heart in two
We've been here before
That place where we dwell until
We find we both want something more
And wait

What happens in time
I know this is cool for now
But I just might change my mind and leave
You're there in the dust
I know that you loved me a lot
But it was never quite discussed.

Flesh For Bones.
I’m sitting here frozen in this bed I made
Considering the weight of the bricks I laid now that I’m through
One by one sealed every crack that I could slip between to find my way back
Find my way back home to you

And I’m burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it’s true what they say that you can’t go back home once you’ve casted away
I would still have left tonight

You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

Carry with me on my way
All the ghosts of all the love that I let slip away
The heavy weight of promises made
That if I could exonerate
I might just lift off today

And I’m burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it’s true what they say that you can’t go back home once you’ve casted away
I would still have left tonight

You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I chased your memory from my mind
But every song I write is just a wish to find you near or far
Through all the tears and all the time
That I been running blind
I still ain’t got to where you are

And I’m burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it’s true what they say that you can’t go back home once you’ve casted away
I would still have left tonight

You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I would I would I would I would.

Close To Your Head.
Today is a very special day
It feels like the beginning
Of something more

And we are standing on the edge
Of all that we’ve imagined
In lives before

Keep it up the stars are close to your head now
It’s magical times that we live in
Keep it up the stars are close to your head now
It’s magic I tell you it’s happening

My friends there’s something in the air
It’s not imagination
I see it everywhere

A state impossible to feign
Suspended animation
This hope that we retain

Keep it up the stars are close to your head now
It’s magical times that we live in
Keep it up the stars are close to your head now
It’s magic I tell you it’s happening

Don’t be afraid for us
It’s not too late for us
To take and make it into something
We can save us

And keep it up the stars are close to your head now
It’s magic I tell you it’s happening
It’s magic I tell you it’s happening
It’s magic I tell you it’s happening.

Jenny.
Jenny I think you’ve lost your mind
Jenny the friends you thought you had
Have left you all behind
Jenny there’s truth in unkind words sometimes
Take what you need and leave the rest for someone else to find
And

Now you wanna show it to the world
You wanna show them just what happens
When you hurt a girl
And

Jenny I think you’ve lost your mind
Jenny I think you’ve lost your mind
Take that trophy from your hand
And just put it down you can
We all have to lose sometimes

It’ll be better in a year
You’ll forget everything you thought was so important here
Jenny I know even the darkest clouds will disappear
Everyone goes through this it’s part
Of life

Now you wanna show it to the world
You wanna show them just what happens
When you hurt a girl
And

Jenny I think you’ve lost your mind
Jenny I think you’ve lost your mind
Take that trophy from your hand
And just put it down you can
We all have to lose sometimes
We all have to lose sometimes
We all have to lose sometimes
We all have to lose sometimes.

Million Ways.
So you made you made a few mistakes
You're not alone
People mess up everyday
Take the knife from out your back
And send them home
You don't need them anyways

So you thought he was your friend
You told them all
Now it's all that you can do
To just sit there by the phone
Wait for a call
That will never come for you
It's not your fault
You're wonderful

And now you've done it again
What more can you say
Just turn and walk the other way
Sometimes some things just fall apart
There’s a million ways to break my heart
It's alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

As I look into the past
I see it all
And it can't be re-arranged
All the times I’ve been up
Against the wall
All those times that nothing changed
Looking into the past
Makes me want to scream

And now you've done it again
What more can you say
Just turn and walk the other way
Sometimes some things just fall apart
There’s a million ways to break to break my heart
It's alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Much too late to say goodbye
Tell me why you made me cry
Even as you walk away
I wish you would stay

You're wonderful

And now you've done it again
What more can you say
Just turn and walk the other way
Sometimes some things just fall apart
There’s a million ways to break to break my heart
It's alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

you've done it again
What more can you say
Just turn and walk the other way
Sometimes some things just fall apart
There’s a million ways to break to break my heart
You're wonderful
You're beautiful
There's a million ways to break my heart
There's a million ways to break my heart.

New Song.
I have messed up
I needed a new song, baby
It wasn't enough
I needed a new song, baby
A song so sorry

And you You tried your best to make me see
I was blind now i believe i believe
I believe

I can see
In your eyes
What's to be
Cause i told lies
Sad to say
That in the end
There's only me

Now i understand
That you're sick of my confusion
No it's worse than that
I feel like the cheap whore that i am

And You
You brushed me off to see me shine
But underneath it all the time
All the time

I can see
In your eyes
What's to be
Cause i told lies
Sad to say
That in the end
There's only me

To say I'm sorry's not enough to make you stay with me
Oh no, oh no

Cause i can see
In your eyes
What's to be
Cause i told lies
I'm sad to say
That in the end
There's only me...

Yeah
I can see
In your eyes
What's to be
Cause i told lies
I'm sad to say
That in the end
There's only me

I'm sad to say
That in the end
There's only me.

Something Good To Show You.
Oh my god this is our life
We’re living like their victims
Living like the captives

Tired of sitting thinking dark thoughts
Contemplating motion
Time to become active

Do you know that your lies
Burn as bright as the bombs
You’re dropping on the innocent

And we’ve got something good to show you
And you don’t wanna miss this
You don’t wanna miss this one

How will you answer the questions
How will you defend
The murder you’ve instructed
We know there are many reasons
People take to killing
Reasons they’ve constructed

Will you try to deny
All the damage you’ve done
Or will you try to bow out gracefully

Cause we’ve got something good to show you
And you don’t wanna miss this
You don’t wanna miss this one

Cause we’ve got something good to show you
And you don’t wanna miss this
You don’t wanna miss this one

You don’t wanna be late for the party
Advertisers cash in on all the beauty
The power of all humanity admitting that we got it wrong
We got it wrong again

And we the people have now spoken
Pack up your belongings
Sail across the ocean
And face all that you have created
In the name of God’s love
A thin shield for your hatred

You can never repair
All the damage you’ve done
But we’ll rebuild even stronger

cause we’ve got something good to show you
And you don’t wanna miss this
You don’t wanna miss this one

Yeah
We’ve got something good to show you
And you don’t wanna miss this
You don’t wanna miss this one

The Vicodin Song.
You can drive, you can drive, you can drive
Down the 405
To the 101 to my house
And these highways are in so many songs
I couldn't count them all
I tried
So much sad history described in a ride
And when I told you I was happy I lied
I lied, I lied, I lied

And i've got vicodin do you wanna come over
I know it's a long drive from Malibu
I got a pocket full of pills and not one lover
And I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do...

And I'll take my chances now
Cause I can't go back I'm out too far
And I'm thinking, I'm thinking
I'm thinking that you know how it feels
So get in your car and drive
And I can tell you that I'll try
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

And I've got vicodin do you wanna come over
I know it's a long drive from Malibu
I got a pocket full of pills and not one lover
And I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do

Yeah
I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do

It's in your face
I know that place you're running to
I'll follow you
I'll meet you there
Don't bring a thing for me
I'll take care, I'll take care

And I've got vicodin do you wanna come over
I know it's a long drive from Malibu
I got a pocket full of pills and not one lover
And I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do

And I've got vicodin do you wanna come over
Yeah
I know it's a long drive from Malibu
I got a pocket full of pills and not one lover
And I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do
Yeah
I'm feeling so bad and so good
I don't know what to do.
