1) Smile is an Orange County… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists named Smile:
1) Smile is an Orange County, CA-based indie-rock band. (http://thebandsmile.com) They released several albums on several different labels with several different lineups, united by singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike Rosas. The band began as a sludgy grunge project on Atlantic records, but bounced to San Diego-based Cargo with a poppier sound. Their 1998 album "Girl Crushes Boy" earned critical-acclaim in Southern California, and was often-cited by alternative paper OC Weekly as one of the best albums ever to come out of Orange County. Smile reunited in 2013.
Michael Rosas (vocals, guitar)
Scott Reeder (drums)
Aaron Sonnenberg (bass)
2) Smile was formed in the late 60's, and was made up of Queen members; Brian May and Roger Taylor, and a long time friend Tim Staffell. The band recorded but never released one single, titled "Earth" (b-side "Step On Me"), and posthumously released two albums. Smile later turned into Queen when Staffell left, Freddie Mercury joined, and the 3 of them found John Deacon. Their song "Doin' Alright" was later recorded by Queen for their first album as "Doing All Right".
Staffell and May met in 1964 and, together with several mutual friends, formed a band that they would call "1984". 1984, in May's words, was "purely an amateur band, formed at school, although perhaps at the end we once got fifteen quid or something. We never really played anything significant in the way of original material". (Brian May, The Guitar Greats, 1983).
For four years, the band did little in the way of recording, playing cover songs at sporadic gigs while the bandmembers focused on their schooling. May would leave the band in 1968 to focus on his BSc exams and would be accepted to study for a phD in astrophysics at renowned Imperial College.
(A degree that May would finally obtain forty years later.)
Though he was a diligent student, May desperately wanted to continue to play his guitar, so he and Staffell decided later that year to start fresh with a new band. "Smile" would be the chosen name of this new venture, and May would post an advert on the student message board: "Brilliant Drummer wanted for Heavy Guitar band - must be able to play like Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon."
A student at Imperial saw the posting and immediately told his roommate, a London Hospital medical school student by the name of Roger Taylor. Though enrolled for a dentistry degree, music was Taylor's first passion and he immediately responded to the advertisement.
May later recalled: "I went to the Imperial jazz room, which I'd booked for the evening, and Roger was there already, hitting the skins, fiddling around, turning knobs. I said, 'What're you doing?' He said, 'I'm tuning them.' I'd never seen a drummer do that before! I was impressed. He'd got great energy, but was very neat too, particularly with the snare drum: he'd do these ththththrump things which started very cleanly and precisely on time. Immediately, the sound of my guitar and his drums had that hugeness. We hit it off like brothers too..."
Smile would achieve moderate success during their brief existence, recording several original songs that May and Staffell had written.

Smile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Babe, you make me feel so hot
Like a small butterfly, like a bird in the sky
Fearless like a star that I'm not
You tell me things that I never knew (Aye, yow, wa)
So what am I supposed to do? (Aye, yow, wa)
Running around like a little kid (Aye, yi, whoa)
Like a dragonfly, flying high in the sky
There is light above and beyond you and I
Like a dragonfly, flying high in the sky
There is light above you and I
Like a small paradise, like a scent of a spice
Yes, I guess I understood
Like a flower so sweet, like the lover in me
Boy, you make me feel so good.
You tell me things that I never knew (Aye, yow, wa)
So what am I supposed to do? (Aye, yow, wa)
Running around like a little kid (Aye, yi, whoa)
One, two, three, and I'm hit, hit, hit!
Like a dragonfly, flying high in the sky
There is light above and beyond you and I

Like a dragonfly, flying high in the sky
There is light above and beyond you and I
Like a dragonfly, flying high in the sky
There is light above you and I
