I wrote this song! Working with Tee Green. Check out the harmonies on the chorus, sounds like The Real Thing with that brass coming on the repeat chorus. The lead vocal is Steve who did a good job on the high long note and the ad-libs inspired by Tee's coaching. Good fun, good times.

I wrote this song for Worlds Apart with Tee Green. It is about the feelings of a break up as you can see. The song as just lyrics doesn't read how it sounds, as there is much more of an emphasis on the 'You said' part, it makes more sense listening to it than just reading the lyrics.

I wrote this song! I was obviously feeling very positive at the time for some reason! I have no memory of actually writing these lyrics, they came fully formed all at once and just wrote themselves onto the page. The music also came together really fast and so, just like that, the song was recorded. I never thought it would actually make the album but it did, and later I heard loads of French girls singing the lyrics, so who knows?

I didn't write this, but I produced it and it was number one in France. The guys didn't know how to sing the French bits so we had to do them line by line copying a guide vocal. That's why it has that London accent on the French bits. The studio was A Major Music in West London and I produced it with Tee Green, a great singer who did all the backing vocals and coached the guys when they were singing. The YouTube video has loads of hits.

I wrote this song. This was number one in France, Germany and some other places. I wrote it in the car driving around the Oval in South London, sitting in traffic recorded into a recording walkman (cassette tape yeah!!!). I was in a very upbeat positive mood and this song basically all came out at once before the lights changed and the traffic started to move. I was on the way to the studio where I put the music together, working with the fab singer Tee Green who sang the demo and all the backing vocals. Best moment with this song was a visit to Paris to see the band singing it on top of a boat on the Seine with thousands of girls on the side of the river singing every line. Good times.

I wrote this song! I met the manager of N'Sync at a music conference in Germany. I was there for an awards ceremony for another band I wrote for in France called Worlds Apart who were up for an award for selling over a million copies of the album I did with them. I was pitching the song for their other band, Backstreet Boys but they said they would like the song for their new 'baby band'. I asked them the name and they said N'Sync and remember thinking, 'they'll never get anywhere with a name like that...' and wishing that the Backstreet Boys would do it.

In the video version on YouTube 'come in the night' is replaced by the pc police with 'swim in the night'. I used to have this album on cassette in my walkman (yeah baby!) and every time I flew to la from London I used to play this song as part of the take off ritual. The actual song that I tried to get playing just as the wheels left the ground was the song "Isolation" which, as I was always flying alone, meant a lot to me. 'here I stand, my empty hands. ' As a professional singer I include the song 'Shades' in my live chill-out bossa nova lounge show with a stripped down original production. Btw I always wanted to meet a woman who made me feel like the lyrics of this song felt, and finally I did. Don't give up hope, he/she is out there for you!

The lyric here is supposed to be 'There never was a woman who could better fill her blouse' (this fits the rhyme scheme which, by the way, is a brilliant rhyme scheme: check out the internal rhyme of 'in you yer' and the name 'Cynthia'. Sheer genius.) This then rhymes with 'cows' and adds yet another layer of comic awesomeness to this fabulous song. I am a singer who, from next weekend, will be singing this as part of my live show!
