BY: Fred Shuster, Music Writer Smile Empty Soul, suburban Santa Clarita's first entry into the "new Liverpool" stakes, is something to smile about. Admirers say the trio - whose single "Bottom of a Bottle" just hit No. 9 on Billboard's modern rock chart - doesn't provide the run-of-the-mill head-banging fare you might expect. Although its sound draws on grunge and new metal, the group has been lauded for lyrics and vocals that mean something to listeners. Smile Empty Soul - the name reflects the notion that most people walk around wearing fake smiles - is seeing its work ethic pay off. Formed four years ago in the comfortable community north of the San Fernando Valley, the group's reputation for exciting live shows has nurtured a loyal fan base. "Nirvana is More...

They're all just putting a comment down so they sound all smart, patriotic and cool. You don't. You all just sound super corny. That isn't to say I have anything against enlisted forces; I just don't like hearing them bitch. war | Reviewer: anonymous123 [Australia] ------ About the song This Is War performed by Smile Empty Soul this song is indeed about war but as others have said it does not support it. now my feeling on this is, if you dont support the war, atleast support your own troops. that is all. Australia and America are the best countries in the world! indeed | Reviewer: leah.marie ------ About the song Nowhere Kids performed by Smile Empty Soul this song is extremely explanatory of how kids are raised.my parents used to honestly sit mw down in front of the television and leave me there for hours on end.no parental one on one time. if you liked this song you should listen to silhouettes by smile empty soul as well. kind of a broken home song like this one in a sense is Not about religion | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul This song is not about Christianity being forced down someone's throat. That's pure BS. So grow up. It's obviously about just a plain old broken home from birth and he doesn't want to be like his parents. His mother had fear of leaving and fear of everything. She lied to her son about life in general. His dad just didn't acre about anyone but himself and he gave up on life. LCpl. Forbes USMC 4th Marine Div. 4th CEB | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Is War performed by Smile Empty Soul Most people will never understand what it's like to be put into a war scenario. This songs describes what Marines and Soldiers get put through day in and day out. It's difficult to forget the things you do. "Combat Engineers up! We lead the way!" Ooorah 4th Marine Division 4th Combat Engineer Battalion just my view | Reviewer: kim ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul i like this song. music to me isnt just something to listen to when your bored i have passion for it. this song has alot of meaning to me cause i can relate to it. and everyone whos laughting at the reviews are ass holes. songs are here to make you feel somthing and to show you the artist point of view on life and so you become understanding. if songs were about joking around all the time. than to me life wold be a joke. listening to this and songs like this makes my view on the world and share ideas. also shows me how other people live and how sometimes i have it to good. compard to them 3rd squad 1st platoon | Reviewer: metaphorical soldier ------ About the song This Is War performed by Smile Empty Soul I love this song it shows that American soldiers like myself are not just killing machines we have feelings, and no matter who you are when you kill someone it will fuck with you. However, we (soldiers) know the consequences we don't want our kids to go through what we are going through right now that is why we do what we do. This song sends a subliminal message that noone likes war but the one percent of Americans that are willing to free the world will step up and take the consequences and we put the worlds weight on our backs to help support the American people. It doesn't matter if it is a protestor, an animal or human rights activist, so support us because we support you. this song; | Reviewer: marysa ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul i absolutely adore this song. it's not something i personally can relate to, but i know people who have feelings like this. this song has so much emotion, and its such a release to listen to. i dont think this song could have forced someone to kill themselves, and if it did, no offence, that's pathetic. it's music, if it depresses you, dont listen to it. simple as that . to "Ms. Smiling With An Empty Soul" | Reviewer: naim hussain ------ About artist/band Smile Empty Soul hey "Ms. Smiling With An Empty Soul"...i really admire the way you think about them..they're personally my fav band ... anyways i just want you to know that their new album is gonna get released in august 25th this year (2009)...which has been named "consciousness"...i've heard 4 songs from the album through YouTube..and i have to tell you ..this is really gonna be their best "with the truth, communicating with real people's real pain" album lol...so please buy it or download it and listen to it when it comes out...and dont feel alone..!! To: Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/27/09 | Reviewer: 68W10 ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul Music is not just for entertainment. It can also be a means of expressing feelings or thoughts you cannot express in words. Its like poetry. Yes, music can be for entertainment, but music is so much more. People who listen to music can also interpret its meanings in their own ways. Close your mouth | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Is War performed by Smile Empty Soul Why is everyone putting their views on the war out? It's suppose to review the song, not your political feelings. BTW, if you haven't gone, then shut your mouth. It's something you'll never understand. I'm sure most of you that are talking about your service aren't even in a combat MOS. And most recently, our war is more than fighting terror, we're keeping millions of kilograms of Heroin from coming to our country. ??? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul Seriously... you all need 2 stop finding a meaning in a song jus because you think it defines or relates 2 you in a certain way! dont try 2 make a meaning of this song jus because you think its it! music is entertainment!!! not a source of why you or someone else did something 2 themself! obviously the band had there own meaning! or mayby not even a meaning but because they liked it! you all sound like the media jus blaming anyone! like they blamed manson for a school shooting! Silhouettes | Reviewer: Haley ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul Parents do the best they know how in order to look after and to care for their kids but sometimes they fall a bit short when it comes to figuring out the right way to get through to them. No parent just decides one day to screw up their kid's life or to make things hard on them. They do the best they can with the card's they're dealt. Moreover, Kids are the same way. there is never a kid who wakes up one morning and decides to be the family f**k up or a drug addict. no one ever decides to be an alcoholic. However, we do the best we can with the cards we have. while some parents may be abusive, we have the choice to break that cycle and learn for our parent's mistakes. we can choose to do what they didn't. The issue is though, that sometimes we get so caught up in the situation that we forget to check what's best for those around us and sometimes for ourselves. So many of us define who we are by what we listen to, when really it's the other way around. Our choice in music is based on our circumstances. if we feel that our parents are far from who we want to be, we will listen to something along the lines of this song. Cindy, you and your husband have done the best you knew how to. raising a kid isn't easy especially when you both have to work just to make ends meet. No doubt your circumstances would have affected your views on life and the way you spoke to your son. just because a song he listened to said "mother taught me all the fables" doesn't mean that he was taking that part into account. YOUR SON DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG. he listened to this song because he felt hurt and upset about his situation and his relationship with his parents. He saw that you were having problems and he probably blamed himself for making it hard for you to pay your bills. He most likely viewed himself as a liability to you because he was so expensive to look after- both financially and emotionally. He probably noticed that his father was tired and saw that it was a direct result of his circumstances. He noticed that you were stressed and would have known that he had caused some of it. For a while he would have tried to ignore your hurt but eventually would have felt guilty. he would have tried to drown his own guilt in drugs and alcohol. Whether his overdose was planed or not I can tell you this, if he tried to kill himself it was because he thought you were better off without him. And if it was an accident then it happened because he was afraid to face the thought that you're unhappiness was because of him. No undoubtedly you loved your son very much, either wise you would not be so upset, however, he felt that he was to blame for your problems and this is because you gave him no space to dream while he was growing up. you told him that everything revolved around money and hard work and that fun was hard to come by in this world. You may have told him your fears of losing your job and being kick out of your home because of it or your fears of not being able to look after him. because to told him that while he should have been daydreaming and having fun then from a very young age he would have realized that his existence was costing you money. from a very young age he would have felt bad about that fact and as he grew, that thought would have too. after a while he'd believe that he was the source of all your problems and that if he hadn't come along, then you would have been better off. If he killed himself, it would have been because he thought it would make things better for you, because the figured that you would have less stress if he wasn't around, and because he didn't believe that he could fix things with his life. The Song has nothing to do with his death, as a matter of fact, it probably gave him the hope to live as long as he did. Silhouettes would have helped him to feel like he could do better, but in the end, a song doesn't stop you from making bad choices. his new found hope gave him fear because he didn't feel like he was worthy of living a better life. It was your job to teach him that he was. For what ever reason, you missed your cue though. or perhaps he missed his cue to listen. either way, Your son did not kill himself because of this song. but if you don't forgive yourself and him, you might. Don't work yourself into a frenzy over a song on his ipod. in the end, it doesn't help anybody. Appreciation. | Reviewer: Ms. Smiling With An Empty Soul ------ About artist/band Smile Empty Soul I honestly accidentally found Smile Empty Soul on Limewire when I was looking up Boys Like Girls. I found "Silhouettes" which was entitled "Smile". I figured that BLG had a new single, so I downloaded it. When I listened to it for the first time I almost instantly knew that the mood of the piece and the voice of the singer could not match the Pop/Rock up-beat-ness of Martin Johnson. Disturbed by the message, I searched the song lyrics on Google. I then spent time going through the lyrics and the song until I memorized it. I then began to buy the rest of "Smile Empty Soul" memorizing all of the album. I feel deeply connected to this band. I can really compare my life and myself to the songs that they write. I can relate to their "tell the truth" attitude that so many other artists out there fail to communicate with. I love Smile Empty Soul's music and love their attitude. I seriously want to just thank SES for allowing me to feel that I'm not alone in this world. Through their songs, I have been able to make a deeper connection to my life and to music. I hope, wish, and dream that they will continue to tell the truth through their work and influence more and more people. ~Ms. Smiling With An Empty Soul Real. | Reviewer: pretty sounds ------ About artist/band Smile Empty Soul meny people hate smile empty soul which is why they are underrated, they arnt the mainstreem that people want to hear these days, some resons from melodys, they arnt fallowing the current mainstreem metal head scene now, they play what they want to play and how they want to put it out, also lyriclly, they dont sugar coat or water down what they are saying, eather for media or for familly frendlly purpouses. they are putting out there stuff for the people who want to hear it, this honesty and assertivness has made a name for media sources for them, that they are "to harsh" for parents or "to blunt" for tv or radio which is why its hard to find there material like u find other bands work, this is a neutral perspective that i tried to talk from here, in my personal opinon smile empty soul is real and if u want to cover your ears do so but its better to be more aware of whats really going on around you and wihtin yourself, 'please pay attention' is the roots of it, love it or hate it, its stil an obsesion, i love it thx4readn I dont see how. | Reviewer: Malik ------ About artist/band Smile Empty Soul I dont see how they offend christianity. I think more or less they question whether there is a god or not and if he is so powerful why he lets bad things happen. I don't think they are negative but more like showing the negative sides of life that not too many people see. To Cindy | Reviewer: Tony ------ About the song Silhouettes performed by Smile Empty Soul In all honesty, this song had nothing to do with your child overdosing. You specified that you let him be whatever he wanted to be. That's the problem, he took that and became what he wanted and look what happens. Life is life. You can be whatever you want, but other things are better than others. Things are harmful which you need to keep away from your son. I am sorry for his death, but you can't blame a song for your son's death. - Regards to your family War.. | Reviewer: Vincent ------ About the song This Is War performed by Smile Empty Soul Beautiful song, it expresses the madness of war perfectly, that so much men don't know what they are actually fighting for exept 'omG itZ tEh TeRrOrisTz!!' Humans as a species need to grow up and take an adult look at WTF we're actually doing instead of making more and more conflicts, killing thousands of innocents in the progress. Why would you want to die for your country? do you think your leaders care? You are just a statistic to them. You get the same 'honorous' burial as all those before you and they're done with it. Wake up, stop fighting. Don't continue to live your lives with fear. Live your lives with love. If everyone would do that there wouldn't be a need for war anymore. ~Peace out. I stopped listening to them | Reviewer: Risharde ------ About artist/band Smile Empty Soul I stopped listening to them after I realised they are somehow offended by Christianity. I wonder how they really help people... by being negative all the time? Lots of bands say a lot but do nothing, this seems to be one of the bands that like to condemn but can't handle the truth perhaps Agreed | Reviewer: Ah-Damn ------ About the song With This Knife performed by Smile Empty Soul Yeah I way agree with this song..Everytime I hear this song,fir sure i feel like dying..reminds me of my ex who im like madly in love with still..But she sorta ripped my heart out and threw it in a blender..wow that sounded emo...lol...fail You could review the artist/band Smile Empty Soul in Biography page You could review Smile Empty Soul album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Smile Empty Soul song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Smile Empty Soul" Music | |
