A song about a lift (elevator). We can choose to get in or not but don't forget: what goes up must come down. The music is totally sequenced using Reason, with its great modules and powerful automation capabilities, plus lots of vocal harmonies.

Artist picture
Touching, funny, serious, award-winning songs about life and love; all penned, played, arranged, sung, recorded and mixed by Al.
So he never existed... not really, as a real person. He made himself up one day in 1969 and lived a dual existence: half of him surviving on dead-end jobs, the other half believing that one day he would write at least one song that the world would remember. Now half of him is dead, and, as with all conjoined twins (without major surgery) that sentences both of them. It would be sad if it wasn't so pathetic. Fairy-tales always end this way... well not always, rarely... and this was rarely a fairy-tale; so there the similarities end: the ending was neither sad nor happy - it just... was. The enigmatic and tragic Jackson C Frank was a hero of his... now he emulates that frail and failed soul. Maybe in 40 years people will still say 'Al who?', much as they do today. That would be both a great epitaph, and a fitting legacy. Below is the page as he inexplicably and hurriedly left it: hot meal still on the table; knife and fork still in place and at the ready; the drink untouched in the bone china cup... ************************************************************* I now have an album: 'The sentence that I serve' available from CD baby.

Story behind the song
A song about a lift (elevator). We can choose to get in or not but don't forget: what goes up must come down. This is totally sequenced using Reason, with its great modules and powerful automation capabilities. There's lots of vocal harmonies too. It's my first song of 2007.
Lyrics
(Going up... going down...) Verse1 Step inside, Leave the party behind; This music is your own, It will always be your song. Close the door, Choose the floor, Use the time To change your mind. Chorus For every up there's a down, Like a wheel going round; For every spring there's a fall, Like a bouncing ball. Verse 2 Feel it start to rise, Look in her eyes. Double zero is the number Of just another lover Close the door, Choose the floor, Or take the stairs Out of there. Chorus For every up there's a down, Like a wheel going round; For every spring there's a fall, Like a bouncing ball. Synth solo 1 Middle 8 Every time, every line, Every lie, you'll be fine. Every time, every line, Every lie: tonight you're mine. Synth solo 2 Verse 3 Step inside Leave the world behind; This music is our own, It will always be our song. Close the door, Choose the floor, The chair, the wall; We have it all. Chorus For every up there's a down, Like a wheel going round; For every spring there's a fall, Like a bouncing ball. Middle 8/Coda Every time, every line, Every lie, you'll be fine. Every time, every line, Every lie: tonight you're mine. Every time.... you'll be fine.... Every line.... Tonight.... you're mine.
