Talking about their new album "Worlds Apart": PULSE!

1 NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT, this song had been locked away in the vaults for a long time, basicaly its about life & fate & if somethings meant to be theres nothing you can do about it. a great opening song.

2 WORLDS APART, this is the first song simon & i wrote specificaly for this album its a very up tempo song, its about as people we all live together in the same world but but couldn't be further apart if we tried.

3 PRICE OF LOVING YOU, to be honest this is a song i didn't think we'd finish but i'm so glad we did, its basicaly a love song about sacrifice etc its also my favorite.

4 TALK TO MY HEART, this is the first song we wrote after finishing the first album in 2002, its another love song very bluesy with a great hook.

5 LOST WITHOUT YOU, this song came together very quickly we wanted a bluesy rocker in the middle of the album something with a bit of grit, its about not realising what youv'e got until its gone.

6 YOUR'E NOT ALONE, this song is about friendship & trust & staying by someones side through the goodtimes & the bad, its also one of the heaviest songs on the album.

7 FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME, this is another song we wrote just after finishing the first album, its another one of simons love songs but its got a great hook & chorus.

8 BREAK THE CHAIN, this is simons favorite song on the album, its about breaking ties & moving on it came together very quickly & basicaly wrote itself.

9 DO IT ALL AGAIN, this songs about the mistakes we make in our lives but wouldn't change a thing, because its what makes us what we are. a very catchy song that will go down very well live.

10 IN YOUR EYES, this song was written in 1988 & was hiden away untill the time was right, simon rewrote the lyrics & its worked out very well it should be a very good live song.

11 NO TURNING BACK, we were trying to write an easy listening track to finish the album but we were getting nowhere, so we had a break & basicaly wrote this song in the time it takes to make a coffee, but it turned out very well & seems to be the one our families like the best.
