The man with a child in his eyes
When I was a little boy, he was my hero.
When I was a young man, he was my sanity.
Taking me away from the pain in my life and filling my heart with joy and wonder.
When I was 13 I saw him live in concert and from the second he arrived on stage I knew what I was going to do for the rest of my life. It was September 1987 and I have to this day never seen anything more extraordinary. To this day I've never seen a reaction from audience like the one he received. I've never seen magic and glitter fly through the air and witness that electricity start up hearts the way he did that night. And now I'm certain the world never again will. Thank you Michael Jackson. On behalf of dreamers the world over. The world is a duller place without you. I'm so privileged to have lived in the same lifetime to witness even a moment of your glory.

'He Gave Us All He Had Been Given'

It's such a sad day for those who appreciated Michael Jackson today.

A day of celebration of a glorious life. But sadness that it was taken so quickly and so soon. And denying children of a father and a family of a beloved brother and son. I was so moved by the poem written by Maya Angelou at the memorial I wanted to post it here. As I cried my heart out today I realized that it was for the greatness we lost and perhaps some shame for what a cruel world did to someone so unique. It was the irony that in spite of what little the world gave him at times, this man gave every atom in his being to the dance of life. And for a handful of years we were lucky enough to bask in the glory of that magnificent light. As someone said to me recently, each of us has a flame inside us that needs igniting. Michael did that for me as a 13 year old boy. And though he is no longer among us, I like to think that my flame burns a little bit brighter because of him and his gift of music, dance and wonderment. I carry it with me and I hope that I can be selfless enough to pass it on to anyone who should need to find their unique spark.

We Had Him - By Maya Angelou

Beloveds, now we know that we know nothing, now that our bright and shining star can slip away from our fingertips like a puff of summer wind.

Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace. Sing our songs among the stars and walk our dances across the face of the moon.....

The instant that Michael is gone, we know nothing. No clocks can tell time. No oceans can rush our tides with the abrupt absence of our treasure.....

Though we are many, each of us is achingly alone, piercingly alone. Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him.

He came to us from the creator, trailing creativity in abundance. Despite the anguish, his life was sheathed in mother love, family love, and survived and did more than that.

He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style. We had him whether we know who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his.....

We had him, beautiful, delighting our eyes. His hat, aslant over his brow, and took a pose on his toes for all of us. And we laughed and stomped our feet for him.

We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing. He gave us all he had been given.....

Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Black Star Square. In Johannesburg and Pittsburgh, in Birmingham, Alabama, and Birmingham, England.

We are missing Michael. But we do know we had him, and we are the world.

MAKING OF THE ALBUM VOL 1.
Category: Music
Originally written on 28 May 2009 for member's of 'Delicacy' Darren's official fan club at www.darrenhayes.com

I guess I have started working on my album. If you don't want to know any of the details then avoid blogs titled 'making of the album' like this one. And read no further.

It's weird playing cloak and dagger about the details because unlike the last record, where I didn't know I was starting it until suddenly I had a bunch of songs and I set a definite time line and location. This one has been worked on in short sharp bursts at the moment. My plan is that by August I will have a short list of songs that I intend to go on the record - and then I'll make a decision about what extra works needs to be done recording and writing wise, and eventually set a date for mixing.

August deadline is more for business reasons than release ones. There are certain partners that I need to get on board to make sure this record sees the light of day - and I want to be able to present a very good demo version of the album by that stage. I would probably mix it either late this year or earlier next year but I don't imagine it would be released any time sooner than mid or late 2010. But you said you wanted to be in on the process so here it is!

There are about 7 songs that already sit on my ipod in a playlist that I call 'new album'. I don't know if they'll all end up on there but a good deal of them will. A couple of them came from meeting with other songwriters and working on songs for other artists. It's been a wonderful accident really because the subconscious mind thought I was not making my own album so I could 'do what I wanted to do' which ironically meant that I was in fact doing exactly what I wanted to do without the pressure of thinking that I had to deliver for me. As a result, whether it's because I put my own personal stamp on them too much or they just didn't fit the brief, many of the songs remained in my custody. There is one and potentially two songs that are being recorded by quite a big pop group - but it's never official until it happens so I'll let you know if it does. Anyway, back to my story - I started to realize that I was in fact writing songs for my new album, albeit with some new collaborators. Looking back (some of you can probably remember more than I can) I think most of my albums begin without me consciously saying 'I am now officially making an album'. I usually need some kind of diversion to get myself out of 'myself' to allow a new process to kick in. With 'Tension..' that was a 'side project' with Robert Conley. With 'Delicate..' it was writing songs for the Savage Garden 'Best of' and experimenting to find a new sound. In all of those examples, I most certainly was not making an album until I looked back and realized I had a lot of the songs.

Such has been the process this time. And in terms of the pop direction, this has been a really happy accident. I was first approached by a major pop label to write songs for their artists. They hooked me up with various people I'd never met before and my eyes were widened. The preconceptions I had about 'pop' were tumbling down like a house of cards because I was loving the songs and learning so much in the process of working with people who do it day in and day out. For me, as an artist, it's easy to just come up with material when I need it. But for some of these guys it's a high stakes profession where they are expected to come up with the goods. So their expertise and my fluidity has been a wonderful match. So there's a few names I've worked with that I'll mention later when it becomes more confirmed, but one is from Sweden, one is English but has had lots of U.S hits, one is American and an old friend and major hit maker. Of my old friends obviously one is Justin Shave and the other is Robert Conley. Who I am working with in the studio as we speak.

Robert is here for 2 weeks and then I am doing more work with other writers for a bit before Justin Shave comes over for a few weeks to do some stuff. After Justin I might end up going back to Sweden for a bit and possibly working with some more people. The goal is to have more material than I could possibly want.

My aim for this record is for it to be the best of what I do. I feel like an olympic athlete and I'm gearing up for the best competition of my life. I have something to prove to myself as well as all of you. I want to take some of the artistry and the emotion that I've been able to develop over the last two albums but pair that up with the most lean and melodically strong and unforgettable songs you've ever heard on the radio. So in some ways it follows that this record might be considered a 'return to form' (I hate that phrase) or a more accessible record. But I like to think of it as me reclaiming something that is mine. Sneaking my quirks and theatrics into the mainstream via the undeniable medium of melody. If that is what makes a good pop record (and when I say a good pop record I mean something like Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' album or The Killers 'Hot Fuss' - just wall to wall great songs) then that is what I'm trying to make. A classic album. Not the sound of those albums, but the strength if you know what I mean.

There's a pretty strong theme running through a lot of it - obviously it's not a concept album but honestly, aren't all albums (or shouldn't they) have some kind of unifying idea? This one stems from a lot of imagery I've collected over the past year, poems and lyrics I've been hiding away and observations, hopes and fears about life and love. Mostly it began from a memory of a painting that once hung in my parent's house and a story someone told me. It's a big metaphor for life and relationships and I can't wait until it becomes less foggy and more clear and presentable to you.
Let me try to tell you a story about some of the songs. Let me start with the Swedish ones. One of them, that I'll call 'B' is literally gobsmackingly awesome. It was initially written for someone huge but it made it to the final rounds and wasn't chosen. Thank you Jesus is all I can say because handing it over was like giving over a child to a stranger. When it was written I actually said 'that is the sound of my new album' so it's very serendipitous that it's still in my possession. Even if it doesn't end up on my album it deeply shaped the sound of it so either way it's a blessing. There's still some debate over whether another artist at the label might record it but we're holding pretty firm on the fact that I've now fallen in love with it and I can no longer bear to part ways. I'll keep you updated.

The next song, was written with Justin Shave and I'll call it 'G'. It was a direct reaction to the sound of 'B' and is probably my favorite song so far. I'm not sure. It's massive. Theatrical. Celebratory. Gothic. Religious. Massive.

The next song I'll call 'D' was written with a super dooper massive song writer producer extraordinaire who I found intimidating at first and then lovely. It's what some people are saying could be a first single. Simple powerful song that explodes into something huge at the end. Love it.

Song 'T' is 'Up' and sad at the same time. Again written with the swede. Big vocals bloody high notes. I love it

Song 'L' was inspired by the film 'Let the right one in'. Very moody and cinematic. Again written with the Swede.

Song 'S' is possibly the title track. Written with the swede, almost a stream of consciousness melody in reaction to a poem I had written specifically for the song months beforehand. In many ways the whole point of the record. A real departure for me in terms of sound. Hard to describe. Tiny but panoramic.

The song I wrote with Robert (I'll call N) was finished just yesterday. It's a big joyful chorus and bittersweet sentiment juxtaposed.

The second one (I'll call 'S'), still needs lyrics but is already one of my favorites on the record. He and I have come up with a totally unique sound for the two of us. We've never done anything like these two songs before.

So that pretty much brings you up to date on where we are at.

Let's see where it takes us!

In the meantime

MAKING THE ALBUM VOL 2.
Category: Music

Originally written on 05 June 2009 for member's of 'Delicacy' Darren's official fan club at www.darrenhayes.com

As I type this, it’s Thursday night and I’ve just had what I call ‘Happy Love Day’ which is my way of describing a ‘date day’ with my lovely. It was much needed because I’ve had 2 weeks straight of working hard on music and my brain is mush. Nothing like some McLovin’ to make things better. We love what we do and work so hard that it’s easy to take time together for granted. So I sort of insist on some one on one time out of the house just to make us feel like a couple.

Right – so it’s been a lot of hard work.
To go back to a couple of weeks ago, I did a charity performance for the songwriter Rick Nowels at Home House in London. It was for an organization, which raises money to allow children from economically, challenged backgrounds to have access to a basketball team with equipment, coaches and uniforms. I did it for Rick simply because he asked and it was a delightful night, the highlight being seeing Belinda Carlisle perform her laundry lists of hits. Loved it. But it left me rather exhausted.

What many people probably don’t realize about me is that I have a love hate relationship with singing. I love it for all the obvious reasons, but I’m always terribly nervous before I sing and then physically exhausted afterwards. Combine that with the fact that I don’t have the most robust voice – in spite of taking care of it. So I’m very susceptible to throat infections and general fatigue. Which means my life is often in slavery to singing – not drinking alcohol (or rarely) – not drinking caffeine and mostly not using my voice unnecessarily (not going out to loud restaurants or bars, even not laughing loudly or screaming with joy).
Then there’s the constant water need. Over 2 litres a day. Preferably 3 or 4! So it is an ordeal to say the least lol.

And I’m always knackered after a gig, as I was the day after this one and the day that Robert Conley arrived from Australia to work with me on writing and recording songs for my album. But I guess it put me in a cool headspace.

At first we were both quite nervous. We hadn’t written a thing together since writing ‘How to Build a Time Machine’ really. And in that time Robert had seriously developed as a major songwriter in Australia being signed to Sony/ATV publishing and co writing the most played song on Australian radio of this year (Axle Whitehead’s ‘I don’t do surprises’). He’d become more accomplished and the dynamic has definitely changed. But for the better I would say.

He’s got a great sense of what is and what is not appropriate at radio which although is never my consideration, it’s nice to hear someone’s take on whether or not something is necessary or not. And I like that aspect to the songwriting at the moment. It balances out my desire to just go off on a zillion tangents. But the tangents are still there. I can’t help it!

The first song we worked on was a track I’ll call ‘N’. It is a turbulent song about, well I won’t tell you what yet. But I will say the entire album is about relationships and it’s very much first person and not metaphorical in the way my last album was. So that song was written and recorded (in sort of 60% quality) in 2 days.

The next song we started to work on I’ll call ‘S’ and we had a basic production and melody sorted out and then something bizarre happened. Our session was harpooned by an urgent request by a publisher and Syco, the Simon Cowell label, for me to attend a song writing camp to write tracks for the big 3 records they have coming out this year. As I’ve probably explained, I’ve been doing work for this label a bit this year – and it’s a fun opportunity and one that doesn’t come along often so I had to do it. But it was strange ripping myself out of ‘album’ mode and back into someone else’s. But I’m sort of used to that on this record and in fact it’s what I’ve liked about it because I’m slowing building the house and I get to go off and garner new perspectives and bring back bits and pieces I like to the table.

Anyhoo – there were some amazing writers there. Each day I worked for at least 16 hours and it was truly exhausting. By the 3rd day I was ruined and came back to work with Rob and could hardly sing.
So for the next few days I was writing my melodies by whistling instead of singing, and then eventually playing them note-by-note on the piano which I rarely do.

But once again, really nice happy accident because the guitar sessions that Steve Young did, only really had simple melodies to bounce off and it made for a really lean and tight use of arrangement. You could clearly hear what did and what did not support the melody.

Anyway to regress, the song ‘S’ is the song about messing things up in a major way. It is dramatic and sweeping and I can imagine the album opening with it. I’ll never over explain these songs as I always want your own interpretations – but there are many layers to these songs. Sometimes I think people might listen and think ‘oh my god Darren’s relationship is breaking down’. Because many of the songs discuss friction and yearning and loss. But that’s obviously not the case at all. I’m using the songs to vent about everyone and everything but using love songs as the medium. I think songs about relationships and love are what define me – and the language through which most of my therapy is done. So on this record, I’d day that’s what I mean about ‘return to form’ or ‘pop’. It’s about universal themes.

On to the subject of ‘Pop with a capital P’ I want to stop saying that about this record because you might be expecting me to make a sugary pop record and it couldn’t be further from that. It’s more ‘Bat For Lashes’ than it is ‘Lady Ga Ga’. It’s pop in terms of melody and accessibility but it’s definitely deep and layered and interesting.

Right, on to the 3rd song. It’s a song I started writing with Steve Young when he played me a chord progression he’d written. I had tears in my eyes when I first heard it over 6 months ago and I’ve been promising him ever since that I’d write a song to it. Robert and I took Steve’s chords and turned them into verses, then he and I wrote a chorus progression and added that to the song. The result is probably the album title track (but honestly you never know – with at least a year away from release and more songwriting planned I have no idea what will and wont’ make the final cut). But I can say it’s exactly how I hoped it would be – and is full of e-bow guitar. Just gorgeous.

Right now I’m taking a week off from everything and next week am doing some writing for more ‘other people’. I won’t be working on my album again until Shave gets here in July. So I’ll update more about the progress when he touches down.
There are 11 finished songs in the can now – with another 3 planned to be finished in July and then more writing planned after. The goal is still 20 songs so choose a definitive album from. Wish me luck!

xxD

The death of the recorded music industry

Настроение:concerned

If you want evidence that file sharing has destroyed the recorded music industry, look no further than at the disappearance of studios. You'd have to use sophisticated archeologists because many of them don't exist anymore.

The recording studios where I recorded and mixed my last album, 'This Delicate Thing We've Made' have vanished. These were studios where seminal albums by everyone from Coldplay to Tears For Fears. From Kate Bush to the Gorillaz. Gone Gone Gone.

The studio where I recorded 'Spin' and Savage Garden's 'Affirmation'? Broke.

The studio where I mixed 'The Tension and The Spark' ?

Dust.

They went broke because they weren't getting any clients.
They weren't getting any clients because not many people could afford to spend the kind of money it costs to record
in a quality recording studio facility.
Those people couldn't afford to record in such spaces because record companies weren't offering the kind of budgets
that used to allow for such costs.
Record companies aren't offering those kinds of budgets because the sale of records doesn't earn enough money to
pay back the investment.
The investment is not being made because the sale of records are so low.
The sale of records are so low because it has generally become the consensus that music is 'free'.
Records sell so few copies these days that major record stores are closing down.
When I was in L.A, I couldn't find the Virgin Mega Stores I used to love. 3 used to exist within a five mile radius of my
hotel.
They're gone now.
When I was in San Francisco, I went to hang out at my favourite Virgin store where I bought 5 years of music, DVD's books
t shirts etc.
It used to be open until midnight most nights.
Then it used to have reduced opening hours.
Then one day, it closed.
Now it's a massive building with nothing in it.
Because the building used to sell music.
And now the general consensus is that music is 'free'.
People think that music is free because you can get it for free if someone gives it away for free.
Giving it away for free really means that someone takes a copy of it, either before it is released or after one person has paid
for it, and puts it online.
When someone 'finds' it online, they're not 'stealing' it. They're 'taking it'. It was offered for free. And besides, they want it.
Surely we should be allowed to have, for free, anything we want in life, no?

So who takes responsibility?

If someone steals a car (which costs about the same prices as say, making a cheap music video these days) and tried to sell it
on ebay - all sorts of people would be held accountable.

But if, say, someone takes the new album by artist 'X' - and posts it on rapidshare - and a hundred thousand people take it - it seems
no one is really held responsible.

They might say, 'well the record companies are making a fortune' (they're not)
or 'The artist is rich (not anymore or possibly they never were)
or maybe they'll point the finger at the person hosting the link - the third party. The 'pimp' in the transaction if you will.
But you can't. Not really.
What happens is the album eventually comes down, after a hundred thousand people have taken it - and the world continues.

Without record stores.
Or great sounding albums.
Or music videos that look amazing.
Or with recordings no longer created in amazing recording studios on incredible equipment that no longer exists.
Without record companies willing to develop new artists and spend money to promote them or allow them to grow.
Because music is, apparently, free.

Would it be so crazy to suggest that an internet provider, a person who might describe their service as providing an ISP -
are actually the ones responsible for the death of the recorded music industry?

Would it be so ludicrous to suggest that if ISP's cancelled the accounts of people who were identified giving away
albums - that this whole problem might be less grim?

Ironically, try to catch a glimpse online of the recent Michael Jackson tribute at the VMA's.
What's that? You can't?
That's because youtube are terrified of Viacom. The minute any 'illegal content' appears from MTV it's immediately
removed. The same can't be said for entire CD quality rips of music over at any number of file sharing web sites.
Music, is apparently, free.

I say it all the time - but what is music worth to you?
I paid for music when I was dead broke.
And when I became wealthy from making a success of my career, I almost went broke making sure I could make
music the way it should sound, in the way it deserved to be presented. So please don't accuse me of being in a position
of privilege. I've always been about putting my money where my mouth was when it came to this issue. Most of the money I earned
from my success in the past has been used to fund my own independent releases.

So my rant is really directed at Governments around the world to come down hard on ISP's. And protect the recorded
music industry. Successful albums mean jobs - band members, crew, designers, directors, manufacturing etc etc etc.
Retail Retail Retail. All soon to be Gone Gone Gone.
This is not about popstars. It's about an industry that is falling apart ironically when the world's interest in music is
at a peak.

great question from member of my fan club..

I had a question posed to me on the forum over at my fanclub @ darrenhayes.com and I thought I'd post it and my response here.
Exciting times!

ALEX'S QUESTION..
--------------

Thanks for the 3rd blog Darren, brilliant as usual. Just wanted to pick up on (well, it got me thinking) your chat regarding meeting Walter A and have preconceptions about revisiting 'the hallowed turf' (if that's the correct expression) of the past. Having loved your last album to death (still do and will always do of course!) for me it is your best work to date. Don't get me wrong, I CAN'T WAIT for your new record to hit my ears - but perhaps, selfishly, I have become so 'into' TDTWM that mentally I'm not ready or phsyched up for your next helping of awesome-ness. I'm finding it difficult to try and disassociate myself from TDTWM and store that album for what it is i.e. a concept record and a piece of work in itself and to move myself onto your next record and take it for what it will be rather than (mentally) expecting a TDTWM: Episode 2. and trying to mentally compare the two albums when they are both dfferent entities in themselves, nor would I want to compare them. Darren, Do you get the same mental barriers when it comes to breaking away from one album and having to create a new body of work without wanting to recreate the heights of previous material and just putting everything into what the next album will be and shall stand for? Thanks again Darren for everything!! Love & Support Alex.

MY ANSWER ...
___________________

I absolutely love this question. I am just like you when it comes to how I attach myself to albums by artists I adore. For example - I am a massive U2 fan. But my attachment to their 'Zoo TV' period is such that there is really a holy grail, a trinity if you wil of records that I compare all of their work to. It's 'Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop'. After that, I haven't really connected to their work in the same way until perhaps 'No Line on the Horizon'. It's a blessing and a curse. As a fan, I was so deeply connected to their experimental phase that I haven't been able to enjoy the subsequent albums as much because I was always mentally saying 'I like that song it reminds me a little bit of 'x' .. or I don't like that song, it sounds nothing like 'x'. And I realise that's probably unfair to a band who want and deserve to grow and change! So I am acutely aware of the 'curse' if you will - of having made 2 albums 'The Tension and the Spark' and 'Delicate..' which are in a time capsule. My fans who love those albums REALLLLLLY LOVE THEM. And I decided not to cheat them (you) by ever making sequels to them simply because it's what you might prefer. What I've done, all my career, is make what I'm absolutely passionate about at the time. For a while, it took me a moment to work out how to follow on from the last phase. And I needn't have worried. Because the direction emerged, mostly inspired by my personal life - and suddenly the music was every bit as engaging as anything on the last album in my opinion. But it is a different album. This album is as different to 'Delicate' as Michael Jackson's 'Bad' was to 'Thriller'. It's as different as 'Like a Prayer' was to 'True Blue' for Madonna. What I'm saying is, I believe this album to be really strong. Not apologetic, not imitating the last one or apologising for not being the same. It's confident and has a personality all of its own. I've always said, as fans we often ask for more of the same. But we don't really want more of the same. We want to feel as engaged. And hopefully you'll feel that. But if you don't, I understand more than anyone! I'm a fan. x

В двух-трех словах смысл всего поста можно изложить - музыку надо НЕ КАЧАТЬ в сети, а ПОКУПАТЬ ее на лиценз. CD. Иначе звукозаписывющей индустрии будет кирдык.
