Every story has a beginning And there's no easy path to winning Energy mixed with a little rhythm Helps to spark the flow within Clear your mind and let the good vibes in Call me crazy, look around Now you're up above the clouds See how far you're off the ground Like a Sunflower Call me crazy, look around Now you're up above the clouds See how far you're off the ground Like a Sunflower Searching for illumination The elements bring good vibrations Energy mixed with a little rhythm, oh Helps to spark the flow within Clear your mind and let the good vibes in Call me crazy, look around Now you're up above the clouds See how far you're off the ground Like a Sunflower Call me crazy, look around Now you're up above the clouds See how far you're off the ground Like a Sunflower Gotta keep dreaming Like a Sunflower The story ain't ending It's only just the beginning of you Like a Sunflower Energy mixed with a little rhythm, oh yeah Helps to spark the flow within Clear your mind and let the good vibes in Call me crazy, look around Now you're up above the clouds See how far you're off the ground Way up above the clouds Call me crazy, look around Now you're up above the clouds See how far you're off the ground Oh... Call me crazy, look around Now you're up above the clouds See how far you're off the ground Like a Sunflower Like a Sunflower Like a Sunflower

I've got baggage And that's nothing new and nothing I can't manage Embracing all the crazy gives me an advantage The kind of person always up for a good challenge The complete package So nothing's gonna stop me now Cos this is what I tell myself Stop saying Maybe, Maybe Cos I've heard enough of that lately, c'mon I ain't got no time for messing around I'm feeling hazy, crazy but I've been Making my mark all along No you're not gonna let me down I'm feeling fancy And I'm not usually the one to be so flashy But I got up this morning feeling so damn happy And I can tell you want to bring me down so badly Don't be so nasty, no no no No-one's gonna stop me now You got me talking to myself Stop saying Maybe, Maybe Cos I've heard enough of that lately, c'mon I ain't got no time for messing around I'm feeling hazy, crazy but I've been Making my mark all along No, you're not gonna let me down, down, down, down Now I know what I gotta do Don't tell me Maybe Listening to myself not you Stop saying Maybe So nothing's gonna stop me now Cos this is what I tell myself Stop saying Maybe, Maybe Cos I've heard enough of that lately, c'mon I ain't got no time for messing around I'm feeling hazy, crazy but I've been Making my mark all along No, you're not gonna let me down, down, down Stop saying Maybe, Maybe Cos I've heard enough of that lately, c'mon I ain't got no time for messing around I'm feeling hazy, crazy but I've been Making my mark all along No, you're not gonna let me down Ooh ooh ooh ooh Oh-oh Oh-oh Doo Doo Ooh ooh ooh ooh

lyrics

We were a true love undivided And I never thought I'd be lying here alone Now the fate of us stands undecided But if we try a little longer maybe we rise up stronger I see you in every place I go I hear our love on the radio Like Prince singing Purple Rain "I only wanna see you..." Can't stop thinking about your touch If it's wrong baby why does it hurt so much To be turning, turning away from us I don't wanna so There's still time to turn us back around Turn this back around Turn us back around It's not too late, my darling, to Turn us back around Turn this back around now baby I see your mind mind's full of doubt doubt, well I've been feeling that hesitation too I see you in every place I go I hear our love on the radio Too many love songs I can't let you go, so There's still time to turn us back around Turn this back around Turn us back around It's not too late, my darling, to Turn us back around Turn this back around now baby Every little tear that's falling Keeps me coming back and calling for ya Every little tear that's falling Keeps me coming back and calling for ya I see your mind mind's full of doubt doubt, well Every little tear that's falling Keeps me coming back and calling for ya There's still time to turn us back around Turn this back around Turn us back around It's not too late, my darling, to Turn us back around Turn this back around now baby Every little tear that's falling Keeps me coming back and calling for ya Every little tear that's falling Keeps me coming back and calling for ya

about

“We decided to just keep on writing.”

Oct 21, 2022 - Just shy of 17 months since the release of ‘The First’ album, Sir Spencer is back with his second album. Aptly titled ‘The Second’ and featuring collaborations with a range of artists, The Second is both familiar in terms of the sound and song-writing sensibilities while simultaneously demonstrating more ambitious, organic arrangements and production. For ‘The Second’, Sir Spencer has reached further through his musical network, adding a number of new names to the roster for this musical collective.

Of the process of putting this new record today - “At the time we were wrapping up the collection of songs that ended up on ‘The First’ record, we had a couple of others - notably ‘Sunflower’ and an early version of ‘Maybe’ - that were almost done. Not that music is ever really done, of course. We decided to just keep on writing and collaborating remotely and we scheduled a few in-person sessions as and when we could. The result is a record that pretty much showcases our broad musical interests, provides an outlet for some experimentation for us and the other artists. We think it hangs together pretty well.”

Working again with Jason Peterson DeLaire and Sam Brawner (Blue Dream Studios) on production duties, Sir Spencer has turned in a tight 10 track album spanning current and 80s pop, R&B, funk and soul worlds effortlessly. From bouncy and breezy first track ‘Sunflower’ - with Nelson Braxton (Michale Bolton, Braxton Brothers) on bass, Sam Brawner (Raquel Rodriguez) on drums and the ever-present Jason Peterson DeLaire (Michael Bolton, Prince, Peterson Family) on vocals - to the 90s freestyle vibe of ‘Turn Us Back Around’ featuring Chrissi Poland on vocals and co-writing duties, this is a record that is easy to listen to while providing enough surprises to maintain your interest throughout it’s tight 34 minutes.

Featured vocalists include: California-based artist Blckatom, Minneapolis-local R&B singer Kendra Glenn, up-and-coming LA-based Taylor Simone Harvey, singer-songwriter extraordinaire Chrissi Poland (Michael Bolton, Bette Midler) and the ubiquitous Jason Peterson DeLaire.
