April 13, 200619 yr Ooooooooh.....good minds and all that!!!! ;) Nice to 'see' you again Penny - you've been missed on .net! Seriously, you posted it about 30 seconds before I was going to, how spooky is that! How is.net?
April 13, 200619 yr "Journey Back" ? or words to that effect. If Darius is trying to fuse jazz with his Arabian roots then that title would reflect that. Darius was very impressed with Brandon Bey's book The Journey and he even went to meet her in America to talk about it and work out if it might help his father and I think he felt it had played a major part in the non-medical approach to recovery. The book is quite complicated but it's about resolving deep issues in the past which have resonance in the present and finding inner peace. Perhaps that's more where he is emotionally now. Err He's living in LA now and this is where he journeys back to. Maybe I'll have a go at creating an album cover to match. But don't hold your breath. You'll probably burst.
April 13, 200619 yr what I actually meant was, with Dive In they did have a thread on the official site where they had said Darius was wanting suggestions for his album title, but after all our suggestions, he chose Dive In, which was the title of a song on the album, a title we could never have thought of because we didnt know what tracks or titles of tracks were going to be on said album. and again he chose a title of a track off the second album to be the title. With you now ;) - Yeah they had us all on a butty ;) :P :D edit: Breakaway has just popped in my mind - though that's the name of a biscuit so maybe that's why :P ;) Edited April 13, 200619 yr by Secret_Song
April 13, 200619 yr Is that not the name of Kelly Clarkson's album, the one James was playing on idolmusic at the same time as Live Twice and then she brought it over here. I loved the tracks when I first heard them but I was sick of them by the time she came over and started releasing them here? The last top ten on idolmusic was an all-Darius top ten. James had emailed me excitedly a couple of weeks before when Darius broke the Clay Aiken stranglehold and then it was 4 D and 6 Clay until no Clay and all Darius. Absolutely brilliant.
April 13, 200619 yr Author Yes it is ... now there is a fanbase to wrangle with .... Claymates .... Anyway peeps .. any more guesses?
April 13, 200619 yr Claymates, Playmates whatever ! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sauer/angry-smiley-021.gif As they say in Glasgow, C'mon if you think you're hard enough!

April 14, 200619 yr I wouldn't think so. James stopped because he didn't have the time to devote to it any more. I'm sure there was another station in that slot latterly.

And fab it is too :D I dont know, I cant guess, Im rubbish at this stuff :cry:
April 16, 200619 yr You're not the only one.....but I like some of the suggestions. He's always gone for the title of a song.....so I suppose we need to guess what types of songs he's going to do and then their title :rolleyes:
April 16, 200619 yr IMO they will be happy love songs Darius seems so happy at the moment its got to come out in his writing :dance: :wub:
April 17, 200619 yr Is that not the name of Kelly Clarkson's album Oh yeah :lol: - I'm not a fan of hers, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :P IMO they will be happy love songs Darius seems so happy at the moment its got to come out in his writing :dance: :wub: Darius has already given a few hints as to what he may have/might have been writing about ... he said something about not caring if it seems cheesy to sing about love and seeing good in things - can't remember exactly, but I'm sure someone can find the quote I'm thinking of. Also the jazz-ier/ethnic influences are types of clues-ish :P But last time I was expecting 'rock-ier' and then things changed and the album changed - and so, I think that's why I'm not letting my mind wander about anything really, I'd rather just wait and see and try not to have any expectations myself I think. I'm not even expecting anything, anytime soon, that way I'll get a nice surprise whenever something does happen I suppose lol! :D
April 17, 200619 yr Hmmm I don't know maybe something like... Wreckless Ambition, yes, I like that name :P I have a feeling it's either going to be self titled or the name of the lead single however. :(
April 17, 200619 yr IMO they will be happy love songs Darius seems so happy at the moment its got to come out in his writing :dance: :wub: I hope Darius doesn't just release happy love songs, but some with a bit more grit like Faith In Me.
April 17, 200619 yr I hope Darius doesn't just release happy love songs, but some with a bit more grit like Faith In Me. I think we know D well enough now to know we will get a mix of styles and tempos on the album :) Good morning Madame C :)
April 17, 200619 yr I haven't got a clue what kind of songs he'll write for this album. Darius has had such a bundle of experiences and influences since he wrote Live Twice. Back then he was deeply concerned about his father, had broken up with a girl he loved, was creating songs under pressure and because of artificial time constraints from external sources his input to the production was much reduced. So much in his life has changed. He is personally happy. Is that necessarily bad for a songwriter? He's practically lived in LA since mid-2004. Maybe there will be songs about the culture clash or a Faith In Me type social commentary track. If there is, he will no doubt do it with humour but his message will be clear. What of family life by proxy? Will that have influenced his outlook and his songs. Will his stint in theatre inspire him? Of one thing I'm sure, every song will have a good part of Darius in it, whether he coats it in a happy, upbeat, poppy coating, a jazzy overcoat or simple folk garb is immaterial.
April 17, 200619 yr Named after a song like Dive In and Live Twice. Dive In = starting out. Live Twice = second chance with his Dad and sorting out his real values. This one? - Changes or something?
April 17, 200619 yr 'Why am i still here' maybe?? :D Well the answer would be contained within the album - so it's not a bad title really :D
