First track in the bag

“Wanna scratch me back and forth, back and forth, uh huh, run your hands on my waist, pull the fader …”

Listening to Lady Gaga at any time is SO FUN. I’m getting obsessed with this CD. It cheers me up like nothing else, and I’m already in a great mood today.

Why? Because I recorded the FIRST SONG OF MY NEW ALBUM TODAY. ^___^

Parrot Stories was a rock record. This won’t be; it’ll be a dance record. I have much more fun with a backing track. Frees up your hands to be more performy, you have less to focus on and you don’t have to rely on other people.

So here are the rules for you guys while I record my album. There’s gonna be ten tracks – we’re recording them in order – and every time I finish a song (we record one song a session) I’ll tell you what it is and post up the LYRICS for you to enjoy :) deal?

In keeping with the rules, here are the lyrics to the song we did today – track 1 of The World Is Mine, “You And Me”:

We knew it from the start
That we would be together in some way
You needed me and you know I still need you back

Don’t get the wrong idea
We both know what this is and how it ends
But I can’t wait to share all this with you

Let’s run away where they won’t find us now
We’ll hide far away and we’ll be free, just you and me

The time will go so fast
But we will savour every moment that we share
And I will give myself to only you

And when you go back home
I’ll count the days till I can run with you
And see your face and fall asleep for one more night

Also, since we had a bit of time left over, Tom recorded something BRILLIANT which I’ll tell you about in my next post. It’s an early 117% present for you. <3

    Maybe I'm the only one, but when you mention your new album "the world is mine", I always think of this one David Guetta song with the exact same title. Especially now that you said it'll be a dance album. ;D

    Liking the lyrics much btw and of course looking forward to the album release! <3

    When are you planning your second album to come out?
  • itiselizabeth

  • Hey, Alex! Did you know that you're number 3 at the top 50 most demanded artists this week at eventful. Slash (GN'R) is 5...just saying...lol

  • Haha, Alex... has Tom beat you to sharing that present? (:
    It is quite brilliant!
  • emmachupein
    I'm going to take a wild guess and say your "present" is the same one tom put on his blog :P
  • Reno42
    Why are your lyrics SO AWESOME? I can't even imagine how great this album is going to be. So excited for it already ^^
  • Thank you for posting these lyrics - the song seems lovely, at least when read. I can't wait :D

    I broke the overhead light in my room while dancing around to 'Hearts' last night. And now I have to sit in the dark. I blame you.


    But it was so worth it.

    Lady Gaga taking over the world! I also listening to her album and really can't get her out of my head, and I don't know if I want to.
    Totally liking the rules!
  • mmm122
    Too bad Tom Milsom already made a post on the rerecording. lol.
  • I'm really excited for The World Is Mine, I know it's not going to be out for a while though. I love the idea of putting the lyrics up for us =) Thank you!
    You can really tell that much from just the lyrics but they sound good.
    My favorite line is "Let’s run away where they won’t find us now, We’ll hide far away and we’ll be free, just you and me"

    <3
  • You *Can't* really tell that much, I meant.
    Woops! =)
