bits of a song

[OMGITSMARIA199]

It might just be the light, but you look ruggedly handsome in this video.

[OliveYou2Much]

I can't wait until he releases another album anekdbfofiejow

[ATurtleAteMyTrex]

A-MA-ZING

[JoeSIsSoCoolLike]

the song is at 2:07

[abbeyinw0nderland]

Can't wait for this to be finished!

[hereccedentesiast]

@ThatOneChick2021 agreed. but hey, it IS a work in progress.

[ThatOneChick2021]

Is it just me or does this sound a tiny bit like, 'Mr. Pond' ?

[KatieLovaticX]

is this the song coming out in march ?... ^-^

[Honorasaur]

This is already stuck in my head as dududu dud ud ududu dududu dudu du du du 

[sillychick123]

I do a bit of songwriting myself, and this one time I had this melody that I really, and I mean REALLY REALLY liked and I forgot it - it was so sad, I cried for quite a while. Now I always do what you do.

[alexbellamy]

This one will be a winner

[FredMaHead]

beard :o

[falasteeeen]

I'm loving this

[klmm931]

Noooo why the mustache??

[NocturnalChocolate]

Is it just me, or are his teeth really white?

[katlantiscomplex]

Love the chorus. It's really quite beautiful! :)

[iwishiwasinlondon]

@Hexx910 steal it from him him and I kill you.

[Hexx910]

@iwishiwasinlondon I'd like to see you try. *Trollface*

[Hexx910]

Copyright this.

Before I steal it.

[OliieSweets]

Sounds great! :'D

[viktorija13100]

Come on i cant wait xD

[CrepsleysAssistant]

@kristinemarcotte In my experience, as with some of my friends, it's much easier to write lyrics after you develop a melody. Obviously I don't speak for Alex, but I just thought I'd share. :)

[alovelyanon]

"chorus!"



[LMNOP1214]

I love it. The melody is fantastic.

[phythmeister]

that genuinely seems like the beginnings of one of your best songs yet, please become a pop star - for us!

[CORALC24]

I love this already :)

[kristinemarcotte]

Do you always write the music before the lyrics ?

[thatgingerkid10]

This is amazing! Really good so far<3

[FeefaFeef]

This was uploaded on my birthday :) I feel special! haha

[MeganJPenney]

That is just remarkable. That you can make intriguing music before you give lyrics to it. Good job. :)

[yellowpotondesk]

sounds amazing so far! keep at it! :D

[hannahbackyards]

how on earth are there exactly 19,000 views, but it keeps saying the videos on your "public" channel have 301 veiws? mind blown.

[HoobaNooba]

alex, i don't like it when you use synths in ur songs. it makes it sound like u are kind of cheating to make them. thumbs up if u agree.

[brainfreeze4eva]

Sounds kind of spanish. You should totally sample some traditional spanish guitar over the top of those chords, make it really dramatic and cool, with that stripped back acoustic feel.

Yeah...

[teamood]

Baha that's exactly how I write songs. I yell chorus once I get to the chorus chords. It's good to know that I'm not a complete weirdo when it comes to writing songs.

[ellajanemusic]

Found this really interesting to watch to see how you work on songs, because it's so different to how I work! Love the new song, the lyrics are strong, chords are great....another one to add to my Alex Day playlist on the iPod! :D xx

[LalaThaddeus]

that song sounds very very promising. hope you finish it, it can become one of my favourites :D

[SublimeGamerx]

Beautiful, you're so talented :)

[TheDoctorLizz]

Sounds great! The first verse is already stuck in my head. No complaints though :) Looking forward for the finished product!!

[8BbC]

wow, its not even finished and already i love it!!!

[DWpirateninja]

almost as catchy as forever yours but thats gonna be hard to beat

[blacksnowhitequeen]

1) The first line somehow reminded me of the first line in Love of my Life by Santana and Dave Mathews (when it says "Where you are, that's where I want to be.").

2) How can someone NOT love your voice?

[comment continues...]

[blacksnowhitequeen]

@blacksnowhitequeen 3) If I'm going to be completely honest about Alex's music, I'd have to say that it is fucking awesome. The music is great and he has some lyrics that are just phenomenal. But every now and again, he'll slip into a cliche line that is... less than impressive. For example, he'll go from, "They say time's a healer but my watch can't tell the time" to "I'd trade in the world for you". The lyrics here is okay, but it's not the breathtaking stuff that can knock you right out.

[NeridaSoutham]

We have exactly the same songwriting proccess, which is good because you are what they call a person who's really good at getting things done. Also, love the song, can't wait to hear it when it's finished!

[ClaireissoNerdycool]

Very good!

[TPS4EVZ]

Awesome song!(as always) Keep writing;] x

[shambonobo]

what are the chords?

[FranckoPhonie]

"Yeah, so this is literally just for me."

I doubt that Alex has watched this himself nearly 14,000 times :D

"CHORUS." *epic chords*

Cant help thinking about 'Eyelashes' here :D

[izinomics]

omg omg this sounds fantastic. like really really good. ahhh

[shuttershocker]

This sounds great! I think I'm going to love it.

[CherryTide]

I'm a little scared of your facial hair.

Brilliant songystuff though!

[24MandaPanda96]

ME GUSTA! :)

[AvalancheOwl]

just get all your subscribers to suggest lines of lyrics ;)

[doratsliveinwater]

I have said it before and I will say it again: Alex Day is the King of Chords.

[iloveBeaver1]

im loving the scruffy beard look



[TheExpressionlessMan]

Does anyone recognise any of the chords?

[dob1997]

I love works in progress. Its so brilliant when you just see part of something. My friend is writing a book and she emails drafts and ideas to me. I think its amazing because you get to suggest what would happen next and the things change if she likes your suggestion. This reminded me of that. It was nice.

[06BDavies]

Good start, and i like the way u did that just for u, oh and the other 14000 ish people who r watching, it is intresting to see how u work on stuff though, and put it together.

[AstridIthilwen]

I really like the chords, of both the chorus and the verse(s). Can't wait to hear it finished C:. It's nice and upbeat!

[Wolfscat333]

this makes me sooo happy, because i can finally watch it. Internet works again *cries of never ending happiness*

[EmBubbi]

This song sounds great so far :D can't wait for the rest!

[EccoGirl]

sounds good so far, looking forward to hearing the finnished version!

[stormypup2002]

Can't wait for the full version. Love it when you're totally acoustic!

[hollyisamazing6]

Have you had your teeth whitened?

[SheSpiltTheCoffee]

cant wait or this song! please release it as acoustic it sounds really good so far :)

[zebragirlinviolet]

Chorus!

[motheroftrolls]

I always like your acoustic stuff better than your final versions. just the guitar and your voice always sound so good together

[pasbom]

Alex, you are so talented! :D

[LittleMovieNinja]

I'm doing the same :D

[YeahImCazza]

Awww... He's So Cute. Talking To Himself

[iheartlyoko]

it makes me weirdly, indescribably happy to think that we might get to watch this song grow with alex if he decides to keep posting these videos as he progresses with lyrics and stuff.

[xXxemoXangelX666xXx]

I love this already =D

[EllieBeeElite]

I would probably still buy that song if you just said "du bu dur" the whole way through :D

[bellaluna423]

I like it a lot. You are kind of a genius with melody, Alex. I can't wait for the rest!

[JellyAndIceCream25]

you know that noise he makes where he doesn't know the lyrics yet? yeah, he should just make a song where he does that all the way through. i'd buy it...

[chelseadunbar13]

Sounds great so far

[VlogN3rds]

It's kind of strange watching someone play the guitar without actually seeing the guitar.

[TeaAndABiscuit]

You should upload all of these little videos you make :3

[xBiancus]

I can already tell that it is going to be yet another one of those really catchy songs that i cant get out of my head..

Why have I only just found your second channel D:

[SheSpiltTheCoffee]

@bananaman2251994 because its a SECRET channel ;)

[DaysWithMel]

i really like it so far! :)

[SynesthesiaSoup]

Sounds really great! :D

[LittleMissFail]

Who's for getting this to no.1? :)

[msCoruscation]

It sounds like it's going to be a really good song! :D

[dimand209]

I don't know, where i should go if you can help maybe can you shed for me , some light, some light?

(erm maybe a bit of verse or something) or something............REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nattkhan]

the chorus chords are really good, sounds like its gonna be a good song

[HEXXhacker]

This is surprisingly good for an unfinished song. Love the chords for the chorus. Keep at the great work =D

[Mentalmusicer]

I cant wait till its finished!!

[RuthieGee1]

i was the 1,000 like! :D

[mrfishy192112]

this song makes me really happy.. even though theres only 1 unfinished verse.

[CrossYourFingers123]

i love that he looks so cute and tired in this:')

alsoo, i already want this song on my ipod even though it only has one verse written(:

[jiflegd]

I think this sounds great so far, and that you've got a great idea. Can't wait to hear the final product! :)

[SuperHotbeans]

I love the melody so far. Hope the finished product is released on guitar too.

[KatieLA551996]

WOW that is really good

[divinemissm15]

Rock it, look forward to the finished product! Why don't you start your own label? I don't know how hard that would be or even if it's possible but why not? You guys could all go under the one label then and not need to worry about it.

[Lunecra1327]

wow, i really like the general feel of it so far. Can't wait to see what it turns into, though I hope it doesn't change too much.

[aikamachi57]

man! this is amazing. good one. thx for sharing!

[MyIzBiz]

Wow. That's insanely awesome and I have a feeling that this might become one of my favorite songs by you. :D

[ilurvsharrypotterzz1]

Sounds good!

[dropofjam]

I have this stuck in my head now?

[biebergirl3194x]

untrust-worthiness. i like it.

[codebluefox]

you say it's just for you, but you're awesome to share with us when you don't have to. :3

[StarGazer2o2]

I love this channel... ♥

[WeRockHardMann]

so far, so good

[321anita]

Sounds good! 

[mayolisp1]

I'm liking this secret channel :)

[smilies4life]

"this is lit-rally just for me"........AND FOR US!

GOSH

[HopiumHi]

I like the sound! It's catchy :]

[PARSLEY25]

cooleo so far :P

[luigilookalike]

Liking it well done

[Jeroosha]

I like it. I would really like it to stay like that, I prefer when you sound raw and unproduced. Probably the reason I still listen to nerimania.

[poprocksxxcoke]

Wow, this sounds great so far Alex! Can't wait to hear the final product!

[yusmiffins]

Sounds great so far =D I can't wait to watch this develop!

[RyanMurphyTube]

Haha, that's not to suggest Europeans are sneaky. I mean it sounds sneaky, or silky. Like Paris, or Prague, or Venice... Hmmm, I know what I mean :P haha

[RyanMurphyTube]

Cool song though that one. I like the way it sounds a little european. I little bit sneaky, you know..?

[RyanMurphyTube]

Some advice that might sound cynical, but I mean well: CHANGE YOUR SHAPE! Bounce of the walls, step away from convention. Forget verse. Forget chorus... You've got to weigh what we say, to help you shape the way you play, you got to get rid of the boring, sort out the habits of your mind! :D

[miggiepants]

i actually really like it so far :)

[littlebirdmjfan]

@evildevilgirl02 Whats up with the URL?

[PrettyLittleAussie]

I like it, it has a very matchbox twenty vibe to it! Hehehe

[keepcalmandpotteron]

it sounds really good Alex :)

[moi1st93]

I can't wait for that one :D

[TheIzzySquishy]

ooh, interest is piqued

[stork101]

My sound cut out at the guitar bit and it looked like you were masturbating, hahahahha. xD

[nezha]

sounds kinda good, i like it!

[kenzietheterrible]

Enjoyable. Very enjoyable.

[helenscottie]

I like it. I like it a lot.

[Puffieey4]

Sounds like it's going to be a really great song and I can't wait to hear it completed (:

[theyellowyoshi]

It'll be cool to hear the final version and compare.

[SmilingThroughItAll]

I like the melody XD Keep writing!

[panicatthedisco778]

*Samey in comparion to other songs you've writtern.

[panicatthedisco778]

I like the verses coz' it's unfamilar to stuff you've done before, but the chorus is pretty samey. Love it though!

[jonny234x3]

This song sounds amazing...

[tigerlily1801]

sounds good so far!

[jeni955]

Really nice!!!

[floatingonmercury]

time for a shave alex?

[journeytoyesterday]

I'm not going to be one of the people who say you shouldnt make very produced music, but i absolutely love just listening you sing and play the acoustic guitar...

[Apollorose]

Sounds like a tango kinda. I could dance to this :D

[kilimimaro]

I like it!

[MyNameIsntCoolEnough]

it sounds familiar but i think it's going to be really good. No reason why I just do

[20inmydreams]

869 likes. Hehe.

[MsChaChaCharlotte]

It sounds similar to The Muse by Darren Criss (I love that song so that's a good thing)

[netholor]

@MsChaChaCharlotte so weird, i was just listening to the muse then i watched this and i thought that and then i saw your comment! haha

[MsChaChaCharlotte]

@netholor I love The Muse, probably one of my favorite Darren Criss songs, I really want him to release it as a single on Itunes :)

[fantastifical]

@MsChaChaCharlotte Well, I believe this relation to Darren Criss finally makes Alex officially supermegafoxyawesomehot!

[MsChaChaCharlotte]

@fantastifical Totally Awesome!!!!!

[oscartigwell]

More of this! This was one of the most interesting and engaging "serious videos" you've ever done! If you posted the "snippets" you talked about, I would definitely watch them! Suggestion From A Total Stranger: you could start a new channel, and post the snippets there, each song as a different playlist... It would be awesome to see a song take shape over time!

[KidWizard4]

301 veiws 853 likes think he's doing well

[hogbenfan]

Thanks for sharing this with us - fascinating to see a work in progress

I'm glad all your songs don't arrive fully formed in an hour

(Oh, and never trust the bastards, 'cos they just are looking out for themselves)

[Qwaszxa3]

This sounds really good so far regardless of the fact there wasn't much there, i think ones its done it could be another Forever Yours type moment ;)

[salam87626]

1:52

[trainali94]

Hey Alex =D

I posted this lyrics for you last night,

Will you stay, just for a little while,

Sit right there, and let me look into you,

Im begging you not to say goodbye~~

Goodbye....

I just want a response from you XD

yeah.... *attention seeker*

[rachaella22]

Sounds good so far. =D It's really cool to get a peak at your creative process.

Good luck with the record labels and the rest of the song!

[BeatrixNemesis]

Loved the chorus! Plus, you looked DAMN SEXY in this video (not that you don't look sexy in all of your videos).

[JeMappelleHannah]

i l ike it so far :D

[doddleoddle]

chorus KEY CHANGE

Awh yeah.

[OrgasmandTea]

Cool. I always enjoy learning about your creative process...what comes next, like, how do you refine this into a good (rather, more complete) song?

[shannontrf]

applause

[TheLionsInLuv]

I love it already xD

[Axartsme]

Everytime I listen to you sing I go like WOAH as I remember how amazing your singing voice is.

[Apanickahhh]

Wow I keep forgetting that you can sing really well.

[Sperius7]

Sounding good so far. Looking forward to hearing the finished song.

[juliarghhhify]

you look more good looking than usual in this video

[Fr3nchee]

That Chorus sounds awesome!

[0137H4]

Good chords, sounds sinister.

[JoeSIsSoCoolLike]

i love the song already. you need to finish it and release it as a single

[MillyMad10001]

Keep with it. Its going to be a good one! X

[sssarahbee]

i love your stubble <3

[Nyx919]

Sounds like a promising one. :)

[sortizvital]

I can tell Im going to like this song :) looking forward on its release :)

[abbystraws]

I would so pay for it. I really like that first line :). I've had dreams of you giving me tours around London. I'd love to just spend a day in the life of nerimon
