1) Sierra Kay, formerly of VersaEmerge & Neaux
2) Four-piece jangle guitar act, Bad Daughter (壞女兒/坏女儿) is one of the growing number of indie-pop acts that have sprung up over the past couple of years like a breath of fresh air. Along with Tizzy Bac and Won Fu (旺福), Bad Daughter has turned what was once a predominantly second-rate grundge/metal based local indie scene into something quite amiable and musically pleasing.
While the band's quirky Belle and Sebastian-like debut, Hairless Bear (沒有毛的熊), wasn't without its moments, its rather tiny sound and lackluster production, sadly let the group down.
Released last week, Little Sun (小太陽), is certainly a step up for the band and its jangly pop guitar sound. Tighter and more upbeat in places and drawing inspiration from bands such as Throwing Muses and early Raincoats, Little Sun is an uplifting listen from the off, with the first track, First Wish (第一個願望), a simple two-beat four chord song.
What follows are nine tunes in which the combo flirts with the downbeat and morose, but comes up trumps thanks to its constant return to jangle pop, with numbers like the classic indie-pop based Right is Right, Wrong is Wrong, There's no Right and Wrong ( 就是 -錯就是錯-沒有什麼 與錯). It's the totally out of character and nail biting Cherry Bomb, however, which showcases the album's real oomph.
3) Bad Daughter is also Dunja Ercegović from Split, Croatia. She is also known as Lovely Quinces.

Bad Daughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parliament smoke
Just letting in the cold
Pass me the bottle
It keeps me warm
When you won't
No trust in our eyes
Talk turns to a fight
When you claim I don't care
'Cause it's all I do, love
It's all for you
But you're so unaware
It's all about you, love
My world revolves around you
When it comes to me
You disappear
We're on the rooftop
Indica smoke
The sun melts the snow
Pass you the bottle
Only thing left to hold onto
'Cause we're no longer close
You swear that you'll try
As I quietly cry
I'm so tired of pushing, pulling, guessing what you want
'Cause it's all I do, love
It's all for you
But you're so unaware
It's all about you, love
My world revolves around you
When it comes to me
You disappear
Yeah it's all I do, love
It's all for you
But you're so unaware
I'm all about you, love
My world revolves around you
When it comes to me
When it comes to me
When it comes to me
You disappear...
The song "Disappear" by Bad Daughter is a raw and emotional portrayal of a one-sided relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid image of the singer and her partner, smoking and drinking on a rooftop, isolated from the rest of the world. The opening lines, "You're at the window, Parliament smoke, just letting in the cold," set the scene for the melancholic tone of the song. The singer's partner is physically present but emotionally distant, as they sit in silence, drinking and smoking to numb their feelings. The singer's reliance on alcohol to keep her warm, further highlights the cold and distant nature of their relationship.
The chorus of the song reveals the main theme, which is the singer's unrequited love for her partner. Despite her efforts to please and make her partner happy, she feels unappreciated and ignored. Her world revolves around her partner, but she remains invisible and insignificant in their eyes. The line "my world revolves around you, when it comes to me, you disappear” encapsulates the song's message perfectly. The singer's partner disappears emotionally and leaves her feeling lonely, isolated, and abandoned.
In the second verse, the singer is seen crying silently as her partner swears to try harder. However, the cycle of pushing, pulling, and guessing what her partner wants leaves her exhausted and tired. The final lines emphasize the singer's feelings of invisibility and insignificance, as she repeats the same line, "when it comes to me, you disappear," three times, symbolizing the repetition of the same pattern in their relationship.
Overall, "Disappear" is an emotional and powerful song that explores the theme of unrequited love and emotional neglect in relationships. It captures the pain of feeling invisible and insignificant in a one-sided relationship.

You're at the window
You're standing by the window
Parliament smoke
You're smoking Parliament cigarettes
Just letting in the cold
The wind is blowing in, making the place cold
Pass me the bottle
Hand me the bottle of alcohol
It keeps me warm
The alcohol helps keep me warm
When you won't
When you won't keep me warm
No trust in our eyes
We don't trust each other
Talk turns to a fight
Our conversation turns into an argument
Throw my hands in the air
I raise my arms in frustration
When you claim I don't care
When you accuse me of not caring
'Cause it's all I do, love
I do everything for you, my love
It's all for you
Everything I do is for you
But you're so unaware
You don't realize how much I do for you
It's all about you, love
My life revolves around you, my love
My world revolves around you
Everything in my world revolves around you
When it comes to me
When it comes to me and my needs
You disappear
You don't acknowledge me or my needs
We're on the rooftop
We're on the rooftop together
Indica smoke
We're smoking Indica marijuana
The sun melts the snow
The sun is melting the snow on the rooftop
Only thing left to hold onto
The only thing left to hold onto is the bottle of alcohol
'Cause we're no longer close
Because we're no longer emotionally close
You swear that you'll try
You promise to try to fix things
As I quietly cry
As I silently shed tears
I'm so tired of pushing, pulling, guessing what you want
I'm exhausted from trying to guess your needs and desires
I'm all about you, love
Everything I do is for you, my love
