Title: Eternal
Label: Independent
Genre: Pop
Lenght: 3:52
Writer(s): Alec Cole
Producer(s): Alec Cole
Released: August 11th 2014

"Eternal" is the debut from 16 year old YouTube sensation Alec Cole Alec first posted the song on his YouTube channel a few months back it was a bit of a surprise to his fans as they're use to seeing skits, vlogs or challenges on his YouTube channel however most of his fans were extremely supportive of the song and some even wanted him to post more music than vlogs however there were others who hated it calling Alex a Kato wannabe and saying he should just stick to his regular videos Alec hasn't said much about it however due to popular request he went to a studio to actually record the song and release it as an independent single he wrote and produced the song his self which is a little surprising considering the lack of production experience he has however the song still came out pretty good which is surprising

The song sounds slightly different from the original live version Alec posted before it has a more upbeat sound to it and a few other instruments can be heard rather than only guitar the intro is played exactly like before however there's a slight difference he plays the intro for a few seconds before the rest of the beat actually kicks in we also hear Alec singing now his voice sounds similar to the original video not very strong but also not too weak Alec had a unique voice it was a little lighter than most guys in music which is probably due to his young age Alec however seems like he could be a great singer with more practice however his guitar playing skills are excellent and that was demonstrated on the original video and this Alec songs through the verses and chorus almost the same however there are some slight differences he doesn't really show off his vocal talent until we get to the bridge in which he gives a few small runs before going into the chorus which is played a little slower at the beginning then picks up towards the end we then hear just the guitar as he sings the outro which sounds exactly like the original video the song then comes to an end

Do It Right (ft. Dylan Shaw)

Title: Do It Right
Artist: Alec Cole, Dylan Shaw
Writer(s) Alec Cole, Dylan Shaw
Producer: Alec Cole
Label: Independent
Length: 4:25
Genre: R&B

"Do It Right" is the second track on Alec Cole's debut EP "Just Me" the song features fellow singer/songwriter Dylan Shaw who is also a close friend of Alec's the song was written by both Alec and Dylan and produced by Alec who began writing the song late last year while writing he knew he had to have someone feature on it and the first person that came to mind was Dylan who Alec has been a huge fan of for quite some time and it would make sense for them to do this song together since they both had their start on YouTube plus since they've become friends their fans have started to ship the pair and Alec figured the fans would love to hear them do this kind of track together after showing Dylan what he had she agreed and helped Alec finish the song up the song is basically about two people falling in love the guy who has been with a few girls as the song says isn't use to these feelings however he goes on to say that he likes it the girl goes on to tell him how she knows what he is like and how this is something he isn't use to however she also goes on to tell him how she feels the same this track is probably one of the stand out tracks since it's a more R&B song while the rest are either Pop or Acoustic Pop

The song starts out with a mellow R&B styled beat and Alec and Dylan can both be heard doing riffs and runs both together in harmony and apart after the intro finishes up the song stays in that mellow beat that it started with and Alec begins singing in a mellow laid back style that goes along with the track quite well he continues singing this way through the verse before moving on to the chorus where the remains the same however Alec changes it up a little going into a smooth falsetto which can be heard throughout the whole chorus as he begins singing "Oh woah oh oh yeah" he can be heard adding small runs after the chorus is finished we hear Dylan come in singing in a similar mellow style which goes perfectly with the beat however she can be heard adding small runs and ad-libs throughout her verse she then makes her way into the chorus after giving a nice little riff at the end of the verse Dylan then begins singing in a falsetto throughout the chorus she also adds her own ad-libs which is different from Alec's chorus she then begins singing the "Oh woah oh oh yeah"'s the same way Alec did the two then go into the bridge where the beat changes to mainly a drum but keeps the same tempo the two can be heard singing the same lines after the other before they start doing runs similar to the intro before Alec and Dylan both begin singing the first few lines of the chorus in perfect harmony with no beat before the song comes to an end

ALEC

"So I started writing this not too long ago and I was I knew while I was writing it I needed someone to feature on it and I knew exactly who that someone was it was Dylan Shaw of course honestly I love Dylan she's a really nice and special girl she's really cool and laid back and she was fun to work with I'm glad she agreed to do the track because I honestly don't think that anybody else would have fit like she did honestly I feel like we have a lot of chemistry when it comes to music and we both have a sort of similar style and had a sort of similar start and I know that this is different from the rest of the EP but I honestly don't see myself sticking to a certain genre I love music who knows next week I could be doing rap haha but anyway I had a lot of fun working with Dylan and I hope in the future we get to again because she's amazing and talented she's definitely got a set of pipes haha"

DYLAN

"Alec is a real talented soul and I enjoy his ideas a lot, so it was a no brainer to jump into the studio with him. We work well together, even though it was our first time. I have a special place in my heart for R&B so I was excited it was an R&B track, plus it's one of the few times I'm not strumming my guitar or completely acoustic. It's still a perfect fit for me because it's laid back and not too crazy which is really me, in a nutshell. Plus, I know it's really fun to do songs like this and then it gets people's brains wandering about the meaning and the backsground. But, I definitely love this song. I was adamant on writing my own part because I like to contribute all the time and not let the work be done for me, so I was probably annoying on that front, but it came out lovely. Boy can sing! (Laughs)"

Now you don't have to worry, don't even get discouraged

Boy, you make me feel so different and that's something that I like (Ooh)

The Great Fall

Title: The Great Fall
Artist: Alec Cole
Writer(s) Alec Cole
Producer: Alec Cole
Label: Independent
Length: 3:53
Genre: Acoustic Pop, Pop

"The Great Fall" is the fifth and final track on Alec Cole's debut EP the song was written and produced by Alec Cole alone the song was written in late December when the EP was still supposed to be an album and this song goes back to the topic of a relationship however this one is more about the end of a relationship unlike the first two which were more about love however he somehow manages to pull this song off in a more upbeat way the lyrics speak about being sad that the relationship is over but the music and his vocals almost make it sound as if it were a happy song which is something that Alec managed to pull off again on the last two tracks this one might have been the best choice to end the EP on it has a sort of movie soundtrack feel to it in a way and though some other tracks on the EP seem to stand out this one manages to stand out even more which is odd considering the generic meaning behind the song maybe it's just the way Alec seemed to pull off the upbeat yet sad break up song that makes it stand out or maybe it's just his vocals alone which are definitely a stand out on this track as well

The song starts out with a few keys from a piano being played and a guitar being slightly picked as it opens up slowly after we hear the intro we hear the piano go away and only the guitar can be heard as he sings the verse on a similar way to "restraints" where he sings it a little faster but which oddly goes with the slow guitar picking after the verse we hear the piano and guitar play once again for a few seconds just like the intro before Alec comes in for the chorus in the chorus we hear both the guitar and the piano throughout the chorus the song gets slightly faster and more upbeat as does Alec singing a bit higher however it isn't until the ending of the chorus where he shows off his small riffs as he sings "This is the great fall" that he shows off those vocal improvements more after finishing the chorus we hear Alec come in once again this time singing the second verse which is played the same way on the guitar however the company of the drums now being played as well adds more of an upbeat sound to it we then hear him go back into the chorus which is sung the same way as before however the drums remain on the chorus and the chorus is slightly longer at the end than before we then hear Alec go into the bridge where all of the instruments can stil be heard he really shows off his vocals here as he repeats the words "Baby we, we had it all yeah" and "Baby we, we never thought we'd grow up" adding runs and just really showing off his voice more there we then hear Alec go into the chorus which is sung in a lighter voice and starts with only the guitar the piano then kicks back in as well after awhile and then the bass then as he sings "This is the great fall" we hear the drums also kick back in however this time Alec changes it up adding ad-libs to the ending rather than doing his riffs which can be heard in the background the song then goes back to that piano and guitar tune we heard earlier at the intro before it comes to an end

Alec

"So this is it the final track of my EP it ends here but feel free to go back to track one and listen again if you like *whistles* but no seriously thank you guys for checking this EP out and thank you guys for everything you've done for me I appreciate it all so much more than you can understand anyway I should probably get to the song now right? Lol okay well this song was written in December only a few days before the New Year and through 2014 I had sort of been in this on and off relationship with this girl at school and it was great when we were on so that's the only part of the relationship I wanted to kind of include who knows maybe I'll write about the other part in another song someday but anyway when it was on it was amazing we were head over heels and all that but like I said it was on off and at the end I just decided maybe it's not going to work out it was great but it couldn't last and not all things last so yeah I decided to do this track in a happy way because I was happy at the beginning of the relationship and I was relieved to get out of it I'm sure the other person was also relieved anyway that's it enjoy the final track of my EP I love you guys so much again and hope you enjoyed the EP :)"

I know that this is it
I know that this is done
But baby I'm still thinking
About you wrapped up in my arms
But I'll be just fine
I'm alright at least that's what I'll say
Girl you lit up the room
The first time you caught my eye
You brought something different
Can't explain it but I'll try
You were so right, so fly
Fell from the sky

I don't know how we lost the love
I don't know how we lost the love
Oh baby I don't know what else to say
It sucks giving this up
I don't know how we lost the love
I don't know how we lost the love
Oh baby What we had was something great
But I think it's time to give it up
This is the great fall, fall
This is the great fall
But we both know we gotta give it up

Said your lips are like a rose
And I know your body all around
And nobody ever done it like you but it's over now
And I'll be just fine
I'm alright at least that's what I'm telling myself
And on those nights that we were lazy
Just you and I searching all through Netflix with nothing to find
But we tried, we tried
Just you and I

I don't know how we lost the love
I don't know how we lost the love
Oh baby I don't know what else to say
It sucks giving this up
I don't know how we lost the love
I don't know how we lost the love
Oh baby What we had was something great
But I think it's time to give it up
This is the great fall, fall
This is the great fall
But we both know we gotta give it up
This is the great fall, fall
This is the great fall
But we both know we gotta give it up

Baby we, we had it all yeah
Baby we, we never thought we'd grow up
Baby we, we had it all yeah
Baby we, we never thought we'd grow up

I don't know how we lost the love
I don't know how we lost the love
Oh baby I don't know what else to say
It sucks giving this up
I don't know how we lost the love
I don't know how we lost the love
Oh baby What we had was something great
But I think it's time to give it up
This is the great fall, fall
This is the great fall
But we both know we gotta give it up
This is the great fall, fall
This is the great fall
But we both know we gotta give it up

OOC: WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH. I don't know how I let this slip right past me but this is an amazing EP. Eternal is my favorite and it's what got me immediately but Do It Right was so smooth, Restraints was well written, On My Own was so passionate and then you just end all this slayage with The Great Fall that left things a nice tone. I have been catching up on a few albums today so I can vote fairly for your charts but this is literally the best thing I read. It's so wrong that this wasn't charting higher like it should've. This is jut so underrated and I really can't. Amazing job on this John, I hope Alec gets the attention he deserves. You wrote some of the best collection of lyrics I've seen on here in a while for this one.
