What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



A gift from a mate. Had not heard of him. Only semi popular in his Australian homeland. Male artist of the year twice there and platinum albums. McCartney sounding on some tracks, but more surprising for me was some Beck coming through (not Jeff) on the more out there tracks (Momo, Peepshow). Another artist too, that I can't quite nail. Love listening to someone I have never heard before and trying to figure out who they might sound like. Very nice use of strings on some tracks here. Loved three tracks and did not like three with the other eleven passing making it a good album. Alex's debut 1999 album Black The Sun got him an Australian best new artist award With the follow up Watching Angels Mend being his breakthrough. In 2006 Alex performed his hit Amazing, on Dancing With The Stars, which gave his career a boost, along with the release of this album of material pulled from his first four albums. This one made #34 on the Australian charts. His second studio of Watching The Angels Mend went to #2.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Peepshow

Best Track - Green

This house is your own
still living alone
it don’t make you sad
but I think it’s good to be green

The summer is gone
and spring don’t belong
the traces are here
for long winter
I miss the green
it used to be clean

If you want to be free
please don’t fall for me
I could be anyone
but your friend

If you open the door
I’ll give a whole lot more
I could be anyone anyone
Yeah

Assumption is good
though not likelihood
my feeling is true
I want to be
living with you

The truth it begins
we’re breathing it in
with shadows of doubt
in time we will
all miss the green
it used to be clean

If you want to be free
please don’t fall for me
I could be anyone
but your friend

If you open the door
I’ll give a whole lot more
I could be anyone
but your friend

Anyone Anyone
Anyone Nah Nah Nah no

Anyone Anyone
Anyone Yeah

If you want to be free
please don’t fall for me
I could be anyone
but your friend

If you open the door
I’ll give a whole lot more
I could be anyone
but your friend

Anyone Anyone
Anyone Nah Nah Nah no

Anyone Anyone
Anyone Yeah

seeing is believing
the feeling is deceiving
you know it’s the truth
when you find that you
can’t talk
leaving on this
all into chaos
seeing is feeling is seeing is
feeling is you
feeling is you woah

Nah Nah Nah no

Anyone Anyone
Anyone Yeah
