Once upon a time there was a girl
You wouldn't really call her typical
Had her own definition of cool
She lived in her own world
She had her own style, her own rules
She played along like it was usual
Nobody really even knew her name
To her life was one big game

[Chorus:]
She's got her head up in the clouds
Sharada Sharada
Don't know if she'll come down
Sharada Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada Sharada
She's got that song stuck in her head

Dreaming all day, that's all she did
Ever since she was a little kid
All the teachers thought that she was slow
She was just dreaming 'bout her show
And when they told her she's delerious
She didn't care- she's just oblivious
She likes to make everyone curious
One day she's gonna be famous

[Chorus]

Sharada Sharada

[Chorus]

    General Comment:I swear, I heard this song and I thought it had been written for me. I'm a dreamer, and I spend the whole time just staring into space and saying a lot of things about, you know, the way the clouds move that makes loads of sense to me but other people just look at me like "waaah?" I feel like no one understands the real me, but, that's ok because I'm fine just dreaming on my own.

    General Comment:I am Sharada..I was named by Ali Akbar khan when my father was the director of the Indian music college in Marin county in the late sixties and seventies... Sharada is the goddess of music, knowledge art and learning. I am a songwriter and one time in the east bay this guy was trying to write music with me and I was kind of hyper and telling him a million stories about who I am and how I used to sit in school and it looked like I was spacing out but I ws visualizing all the dances that I would be choreographing after school (I was a dancer). I had learning dissabilities and I was very misunderstood...

    So this guyis trying to get me into bed and I am jumping around singing him all thease songs and he is like "we should write a song about you but it would have to be sha ra da..." my name is mispronounced in this song...I dont mind the rest of it but I hate it when people mispronounce my name!

    The goal is to be in the pipeline of songwriters like willy nelson and dolly parton or otis redding etc. You always want to sell a song to an up and coming pop star...

    So he did....

    I am flatterd that he thought that my independant and rebellous/good intentiond spirit is something he thought would be a good image for a young girl...I guess it is the ultimate compliment..

    I write way better songs than him and Sky should have me write for her not some hard up guy.

    Sharada
    So he is like I am goin

    General Comment:I love this song.

    I swear, this was written for one of my friends. She's a daydreamer, always staring out windows and spacing off. She's a writer, too, and her stuff is incredible. There are some issues in her life, but they never get her down. She's always there with a smile for her friends, no matter how she actually feels. Her grades are pretty bad, but she's still smart. Just like in the song, she's off dreaming.

    Prep with the soul of an emo, I call her, and I love her. She's gonna be somebody.
    This song is everything that she is.
    Whenever I listen to it, I can't help but think of her.

    General Comment:It seems like it's about her, thinking about being something she wants to be, which is totally awesome.
    You should be yourself, no matter what.

    General Comment:I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
    It's like, when I feel down or whatever, it reminds me of what I want to be, and that the stuck up losers that make me feel all crappy, that I shouldn't care. I just love this song. =)

    General Comment:I love this song so much! It's about a girl (i think thats what 'sharada' is) whos different from everyone else and doesnt care about that fact. She's not afraid to be different and dreams about herself being big one day and doesn't let anyone crush those dreams. Brillant song!

    General Comment:In my opinion, the most beautiful Skye song to date.

    It's an ode to daydreamers...those who dream big and don't let the pessimism of others drag them down.
