Notes on I took a Pill in Ibiza: Mike Posner is a really great writer. I've been a fan of his for some time. This song has a great lyric. It really SAYS something. It's sense of honesty about finding your way to the top and realising that life can still feel empty even from up on the stage is what I find so addictive in this one. It's not necessarily relatable but it's truthful to him and that shines through this song. We took it somewhere between the original acoustic version and the Seeb remix. It was learnt and recorded within 20 minutes this time. It just seemed to roll out nice and easy.

For all those asking - I am making these videos in downtime between producing album No.8. It's looking like it is going to be all original music this time. I'll obviously be sharing it with you as soon as it's ready. In the meantime, enjoy these little vids from my home studio. As you can see we are having a blast making them!

I love learning other people’s songs. I find it teaches me a whole lot about songwriting which is particularly inspirational when I’m writing a new album (which is what I am doing NOW!) This time I thought I’d film and record it for you all to check it out and start an official Song Society. The songs I will be doing will be learnt and performed live, warts and all within an hour. These are NOT definitive reconstructions, just a window in to my own education! As the process develops we could vote on what the next song will be if you like? Maybe you’ve recorded you’re own version of this song and share it with us all and let’s discuss what makes these songs great. Here are the rules (made, of course, to be broken).

The Song Society

1. Find a song you love or are fascinated by. 

2. Learn and record live within the hour. 

3. No previous preparation allowed. 

4. Love and live with the mistakes.

crappy songs turned into master pieces, but with this one i liked the original as a dancing or exercise beat but never actually never noticed the lyrics until one.

Bu took a pill in IbizaTo show Avicii I was coolAnd when I finally got sober, felt 10 years olderBut fuck it, it was something to doI'm living out in LAI drive a sports car just to proveI'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollarsAnd I spend it on girls and shoesBut you don't wanna be high like meNever really knowing why like meYou don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all aloneYou don't wanna ride the bus like thisNever knowing who to trust like thisYou don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singingStuck up on that stage singingAll I know are sad songs, sad songsDarling, all I know are sad songs, sad songsI'm just a singer who already blew his shotI get along with old timers'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgotAnd I can't keep a girl, no'Cause as soon as the sun comes upI cut 'em all loose and work's my excuseBut the truth is I can't open upBut you don't wanna be high like meNever really knowing why like meYou don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all aloneYou don't wanna ride the bus like thisNever knowing who to trust like thisYou don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singingStuck up on that stage singingAll I know are sad songs, sad songsDarling, all I know are sad songs, sad songsI took a plane to my hometownI brought my pride and my guitarAll my friends are all gone, but there's manicured lawnsAnd the people still think I'm a starI walked around downtownI met some fans on LafayetteThey said: "tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient"So I looked 'em in the eye and said
