new song: daddy


hi guys!

yesterday i was back in studio with frank, who i work with now on some new songs. we had spent 5 hours on pleasure but it has taken us 8 hours to do daddy! you can listen to it on my mypace www.myspace.com/alan_a_
this song is about my father who died exactly 7 years ago. i don't talk much about him because i never entirely grieved and it's still painful, but writing a song helped me a lot. the music is inspired by a song called mamie that a young singer called mélody sang when i was a child, about her grandmother who was getting old.
writing this song has been good therapy. I actually wrote it back in 2001, but i re-worked on it in july this year. please tell me frankly what you think.
the picture is of my tattoo at my ankle and represent my dad's initial with a halo.

the boss at my bar being too much, and the fact that i have to pay a big fee to the DJ on the nights i'm not making any money made me take a big decision: i'm leaving and i'm going to work in laurent's bar. plus the money is better! so i had an interview today, i'm finishing my week in my bar and i'm starting there on monday. hope it's ok working with your boyfriend!

thank you for your comments:
fred: thank you for the invite. i'll let you know when we arrive but that's not gonna be before december!
celine: keep posting babes, with pleasure!
nina: how was the weekend at cece and will's?
flo: still waiting for your email! hey by the way carrie has a cell phone in the 6th season, with pink glitters!

mwah!

Hey!Ton myspace ne marche pas...c'est bizarre.J'essaierai donc + tard.
Le week-end chez Willy et Cécile était génial!Je vais t'envoyer des photos.ça faisait du bien une bonne fête comme ça...On avait organisé avec Damien & Yaya une mini kermesse:c'était sympa!Et la soirée a été très très arrosée!J'avais mal aux cheveux le lendemain!!!
Vous êtes allé à Chicago ou pas?J'ai vu ta maman au fait au mariage de Cécile Gaudin!Et j'ai passé le vin d'honneur et le bal avec Virginie (Caillon), sa cousine!Quand tu reviens, on se fait un truc ensemble, ça lui ferai plaisir de te revoir...
C'est quoi ta nouvelle adresse??

Gros gros bisous
Je pense fort à toi
