Intro 01:19
Being by myself alone, would it be harder than if I showed my back to the mirror and carried my shoulders, You see I hear the cheers are calling, but that rope’s got me on the ground I’ve heard some people been chasing all their lives, I might be running on an 8 ‘till the day I die But I gotta push myself to choose, I gotta fit in these new shoes, 'cause I’m running late on time

Late on time 04:06
Verse 1: I see all of my friends chasing towards the lights: should I follow in? I’ve burnt my hands so many times: is there something I should understand? Am I building a fortress out of dreams? Chorus: I’ll go down this sweet valley, walk until I find a town So I’ll be away, seeking for love and pride Remember me, my name will be written on that sign, 'cause I’ll give myself a chance Verse 2: I’ve got six strings to my bow, will it be enough? If not, I'll go and get my guts, because I’m running late on time Can’t you see I’m all haze, will I reunite? And I’m climbing those stairs, playing walk or dive Am I building a fortress out of dreams? Chorus. Bridge: I can’t control the world I’m living in but I can change those stares 'Cause this is my life (x2) I don't get where I have to go Success is walking past my door, I just gotta let them know Fleeing towards your goals is something that never existed No I ain't got to be afraid and my futur is never gonna break I don't get where I have to go (x3) And am I building a fortress out of dreams? Chorus.

Olympia 04:05
Verse 1 : Offer me the keys to drive, you're puffing vapors of sun Your winy breath is heating my tum And now, floor lamps swiftly fondle your eyes, not a doll You're sculpture in motion, with emotions, to move with caution I should care about my things Pre-chorus : I could never stare at you, even if I wanted to Your eyes are those of a judge Your mouth is begging for oxygen but we know that I can't help Staring at me like Olympia Chorus: Oh girls from around the world, come here and observe when her hips are moving like that I must be a hound but I'd claim myself king if I saw again her body shaking like that She's got me saying : Oh oh oh Turn it baby (x3) She's got me saying : Oh oh oh Turn it baby (x3) Verse 2: Skirt’s slowly falling down your legs it's making them close in an instant I'd like to tie to you but you're already taken Your heart is pushing me back and I can't seem to cross your eyes Still you're breathtaking when you're close to me Pre-chorus. Chorus. Bridge: Ouh she's coming at me, it's like never for the first time We kiss but our lips never touch babe If I laid a touch on you, I would lose contact Your belly contract Pre-chorus. Chorus.

Dream 03:43
Verse 1: A fresh new world inside my eyes I can’t recognize anything in my house Glasses and chairs flying around and I’m also above the ground Pre-chorus: I feel alright I’m enjoying this night It gives me goose bumps when you come and hold me tight But at the same time I am wondering why I have the feeling that I am high Chorus: Kind a weird place, lights everywhere but I want to see that place with you And it’s out of my mind? I’m feeling strange now. Don’t you have that feeling too? Well after that I’ll try something for the first time, something that I want to do ‘Cause when I’m in here, it’s totally clear all I wanna do is jump with my crew And we all say oooh oh oh oh oooh oh oh oh oooh I’m back into my dream now (x4) Verse 2: Never leaving, never lonely, it’s just the perfect world to stay in I’ll start crying tears of joy from looking at the sun Pre-chorus. Chorus. Outro: Since I’m getting older, older, older, older, older I need to leave, reality is flowing on my skin I hear you now (x8)
5.
You and I 03:54
Verse 1 : Would you mind me if I came I’ll make sure to lighten up your day And even if you make it tough, well that’s fine by me And you’ll be in that dress I like Gathering the worst and the best And even if you make me cry, I’ll always forgive you Chorus: You and I, we’re pouring like the weather you’ve been dancing with You and I, we know we love each other like a couple about to break But you’ve got that thing that I can’t overcome for the sake of you and I Verse 2: You and I, we share a common mind Since I’m living in the depths of your inner-self Your blood flow is taken me places I feel like no one tries, I feel like no one tried, no one ever tried Bridge: You hair spread like the lights of a million roads And your arms open like two gates ready to snuggle me in Oh well I wouldn’t say I’m surprised, since I’m feeling like Refrain. Verse 3: I might have to carry on? I might have to slow down I might have to slow down, I have to slow down, I have to slow down I might have to carry on? I might have to slow down I might have to slow down, I have to slow down, I have to slow down-down-down I feel like someone tried (x2)

Verse 1: I know I can be rough sometimes But my other face is tender It's only when I see you cry That I turn back to your butter How come I let my face Get all these harsh angles ? How come ? Pre-chorus: Is it why we call this a crush ? I guess it ain't the right way to blush It's not that I fear you're leaving but still Chorus: It's just that I know when you're good (x12) Verse 2: I wish when my lips were open wide That it was always to greet yours When my heart's so dry and chapped I know your tears will pour and cure Do I say what's inside of me ? Can this flame burn or not ? My upper body wants you safe and sound Pre-chorus: Is it why we call this a crush ? I guess it ain't the right way to blush It's not that I fear you're leaving but still Guitar solo. Chorus.

Off 03:40
Verse 1: Han ! Open my eyes in a weird place Although, I came here many times for decades Things getting scarily funny in my mind Halloween Feeling stuck and dizzy like I’m locked up in a hall of weed Though, I see the smiles and now I hear the laughs , oh no Bring back the time I’m lost Clear up the sight yo The cones are creating the fog the phones are all missing the calls We fall in love with anybody, drop down on the floor still handling the cup Those lines and lights are now generating a new type of world Now if you’re searching for me I’ll be in my cerebral bug I’ll give a piece of advice to you just don’t try talk with me or anything else Chorus: ‘Coz I am off right now Maybe it will end up as a hound All my friends are lying on the ground And I just can’t find out if I’m just close to dead Or in a sleepin’ state, but just don’t try to tchat ‘Coz I’m off right now Verse 2: I, I, I keep on dreaming alone I know in less than an hour yeah I will have to atone Mixing the liquids I found, tonight I did drink a tone No particular reason but I’m meant to be the first one The living room: trap, The toilet: trap, Swimming pool: trap I’m about to faint: crap! What about the girl over there? Hack Gonna beat the crap out of me, got a bit of wraps it’s all free I’ll make it rain on everybody, gonna be so proud of me I’m being taken down by a bunch of props here and there I poured my glass of vodka on you but still, see if I care Man I feel like I’m on a rope, and if it’s indeed what you’re hoping, You’d better not try to get anything out of me Chorus. Verse 3: Red stripes, new heights, man I never had sex before, that’s why I keep filling it more Neighbors and cops knocking at the door, not a great timing you know that’s for sure, Right now I ain’t on earth rather waving somewhere far offshore Feeling the fluids slowly digging down to the main core I’m like Snoop Dog and Wiz in the same body, breathing and smoking are all the same to me Illuminati’s bass, I’m going to wastes Bottles of champagne are all over the place My so-called friends are just leaving on my facebook A photo so all them bosses will remember my face Took me a lot of time to finally realize, that I wasn’t able to draw a simple line I shouldn’t have accepted to take in those tekpafs Already drank ten, but where’s the other half? Please, mister silhouette of policeman, why don’t you leave me alone? Whatever you ask you know my memory’s gone I’d rather be your enemy and sleep in jail tonight instead of talking to you and you why? Chorus.

Babe, I could be your salt and pepper, presents for prison, you're my first papercut, I pay it's pleasant Picking in pockets just for the sake of seeing you pleasured I could let my stomach hurt for fur, I'd fight a hurd But I heard you learnt how to take care of yourself, fine, no misleading her Cash is paper, jewels are rocks, never gonna get your credit card to talk, give it up Pre-chorus.

Refrain. Outro : And I don't know what she wants But I could get her anything, anything I can't get no answers Man out, giving up

about

Après 1 an d'absence et de préparation, Alex Rec revient fort de son nouvel et premier album, "From Bedroom To Gigs".

Préférant s'affranchir des barrières et des petites cases, le jeune artiste signe son album du sceau de la half-pop, un genre bien à lui qu'il définit plus comme un état d'esprit qu'une discipline musicale.

Alliant une liberté de composition totale et l'efficacité mélodique de la musique pop, Alex Rec écrit tant bien sur sa vie mouvementée que sur celles et ceux qui l'inspirent n'oubliant jamais pour autant de soigner sa plume à chaque ligne.

C'est cet amour de la musique qui vous fera certainement passer, tout comme lui, De La Chambre Au Concert.

about

Alex Rec Caen, France

Alex Rec is a young half-pop artist, a genre that is best described as a state of mind rather than a musical movement.

Through that designation, he claims his right of freedom of song-writing.

This very love of music is what gets his followers to walk, just as he does, From Bedroom To Gigs.
