Hi

Thanks for all the nice comments, I'm a bit amazed!
I know a few people have had questions about the Take Me Away song, so please ask if you want to know anything...

Thanks!

Nathan

If you're interested, the story of how the song happened....

I've never been a big fan of MJ.  I quite like some of his songs, but I never listen to his albums.

I was walking to the shops and it was raining.  The words & tune of "I don't wanna live.. I don't wanna live in the rain no more" appeared in my head, so I sang them out loud.  For some reason I sang it in a Michael Jackson style voice, and then the rest of the words came out.. I didn't really know what words or melody was going to come next.

I usually have trouble writing lyrics and so prefer to make instrumental music with a few samples, but this song just appeared in my mind. 

So when I returned from the shops, I worked out the melody on my keyboard, worked out some chords, and spent a few days recording the music.   

Then I searched for all the MJ acapellas that I could find online, got the lyrics, then tried to match the words or syllables I needed to match my lyrics.

I'd this took several weeks.. then I had to re-tune these words to match my melody.  Once I'd done that, I had to try and make the words fit comfortably together, so it sounded like MJ was actually singing - it wasn't posssible to make him sound 100% natural, but I hoped that Michael Jackson fans would like it, and that they would like to hear Michael's voice singing something new, even though Michael himself never heard the song.

The only part I had trouble writing were the raps "take me some place different..>" because I only had the words from Dangerous to work with.

it's ok, I don't need any more phrases.. the song was finished.

it was about three months ago I was walking to the shops and thought up the idea, and I finished it about a week ago.

Take me some place different
somewhere by the ocean
and not return to the city
and all its' bad emotion

i don't wanna live
i don't wanna live in the rain no more

i just wanna go
i just wanna go where it's always warm

come on and take me away

to where the sun is always shining
and the sky is always blue
i wanna live somewhere that's beautiful
and i wanna be there with you

we can leave this grey behind us
and start our life anew
forget our work and daily life
forever me and you

take me some place different
i know i'm deep in love
passion in the sunshine
is what i'm thinking of

I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go in to work no more

no one understands
make stupid demands
i don't know what its for
I said baby take me away

to where the sun is always shining
and the sky is always blue
i wanna live somewhere that's beautiful
and i wanna be there with you

we can leave this grey behind us
and start our life anew
forget our work and daily life
forever me and you

I want my baby
I want my baby with me
I want my baby tonight

Hi, Ukraine & Russia!  I have finished a new song - a remix of Robbie Williams' "Do You Mind".  It's a lot more dance-y than the MJ track, so I'll understand if you don't like it!
