Posted May 8, 200817 yr 08/05/2008 Will In New York, UK Will's just returned from a fleeting trip to New York, where he had a fantastic time. The main reason for his visit was to go to a rather glamorous party hosted by Jefferson Hack and Christopher Bailey for the spring issue of Another Man magazine. Will stayed at his friends' house and, because the weather was so fantastic, spent the rest of the weekend strolling around the city, reading in Central Park and getting up close to the Statue of Liberty on the Staten Island Ferry. Now he's back in Blighty, Will's finessing the new album, relaxing with friends and very much enjoying riding his bike. Thanks to Rosie on D. So the album's all but done - :cheer:

May 8, 200817 yr OK pet - we can't delete our posts on here - only edit them. Managed after a bit of a faff. Forgot about my moderator options. :wacko: Wonder if all the recording is finished & Will is busy with artwork. :)
May 8, 200817 yr Author Managed after a bit of a faff. Forgot about my moderator options. :wacko: Wonder if all the recording is finished & Will is busy with artwork. :) I reckon so - he's got the video to do as well - I don't want to wish away the summer but I can't wait for the first single - hopefully around the end of August. :dance:
May 8, 200817 yr I reckon so - he's got the video to do as well - I don't want to wish away the summer but I can't wait for the first single - hopefully around the end of August. :dance: I'm quite happy for the summer to whiz by. :dance: Just been working out it's only 7 weeks till Glastonbury, that will take us to July, then we have T in the Park & then we should have the single. :w00t: Edited May 8, 200817 yr by truly talented

Thanks for bringing the update over. Now all we need for the next update is the name of the single, name of the album, the dates of the releases, and dates for everything else that goes with releasing an album. I could get seriously excited about this. :rolleyes: :lol: Edited May 8, 200817 yr by chrysalis
May 9, 200817 yr 09/05/08 WILL IN THE INDEPENDENT To honour Jarvis Cocker talking about the art of songwriting at the Brighton Festival, The Independent is today running a feature on what makes a good lyric. And Will is featured in this piece where he talks about his lyrics for ‘Home’. He reveals, ‘I was definitely heartbroken when I wrote that. It means a lot to me because it’s a sad song but there’s positivity in it. I think that’s what songs should be.’ Read the feature here. Thanks to Bumbling http://www.independent.ie/entertainm...s-1371589.html Quote: Will Young 'Home' Tell me, how did we fall into this place We move on, we will never be replaced And I can't even think about the next It's too far away First I must forget, by leaving I am a different man... "Home" is the first song I wrote with Nitin Sawhney. Quite often when you write your first song with someone you get your best as there's a bit of nervous chemistry going on. I was definitely heartbroken when I wrote that. It means a lot to me because it's a sad song but there's positivity in it. I think that's what songs should be - I don't think there should be slit-your-wrists songs. Joni Mitchell said songs have a utility to them and I think about that when writing. That's describing a situation which is desperately sad, a sad resignation. You try your best and something has to come to an end.
May 9, 200817 yr Author Thanks Sunday - you beat me to it :P I love his own lyrics - they have an entirely different feel to them than those written for him - because they are so personal.

May 9, 200817 yr I was definitely heartbroken when I wrote that :( I love 'Home' :( Thanks for posting ladies.
May 9, 200817 yr Author :( I love 'Home' :( Thanks for posting ladies. Me too - the lyrics are...... :cry: :cry: :cry: God knows how he must have felt when it happened for the second time :cry: Edited May 9, 200817 yr by munchkin
May 9, 200817 yr Me too - the lyrics are...... :cry: :cry: :cry: God knows how he must have felt when it happened for the second time :cry: Do we know who dumped who the second time? He certainly didn't seem so upset as the first time, or is that my imagination. :unsure: Thanks for bringing the update over sunday.
May 9, 200817 yr Do we know who dumped who the second time? He certainly didn't seem so upset as the first time, or is that my imagination. :unsure: Thanks for bringing the update over sunday. Not sure chrysalis but like you I get the feeling that it may have been Will that finally ended it this time. Agree about the lyrics to Home. :cry: :cry: Wonder what telling lyrics we'll get on the new album. Edited May 9, 200817 yr by truly talented
May 9, 200817 yr Thanks for the updates sunday and munchkin, lots happening at the moment, I just wish I wasn't so busy, I need more hours in the day please for the next fortnight, trying to juggle welcome home celebrations for son, work and Will. :wacko:

It was an on-off-on romance so maybe he just decided enough was enough, but it must still have hurt. I doubt much will be happening on the Will front Suggy - enjoy your plans for your son's visit.
