"Forever Young"


Hey Guys,

In the interim of hearing tracks from the upcoming new album, the boys and I have been working on a few cover tunes that struck our fancy. So, up on the mypace player right now is a new cover of "Forever Young," the Alphaville song we all know and love.

Hope you dig it. We tried to keep some of the original elements and also added our own little touch. The new album is sounding so great and you'll all hear it very soon...thanks for the love and patience. It all means so much. It's been a long road.

If you want a FREE mp3 of "Forever Young," it's yours. Just sign up on the email list at www.alexnackman.com. No catch.

Much Love in the meantime,
-Alex, Dan, Keith

Ramblings? Or, Ruminations.

During the process of working on this new album, I've gone through many moods-- satisfaction, happiness, frustration, anxiety, and all the rest. It's been pretty conducive to the "art," which I like. But, the point is, each album has its own drive. It's like getting into a new car. Yes, they all have 2 pedals and a steering wheel, but the feel is different each time-- thus there can't be any expectations before the process starts. I've had ups and downs this year and I'm hoping the new songs will strike a chord (seriously, no pun intended) in you guys who've stayed behind me. Fortunately there seem to be a lot of you; that support of which I can't fully express how much it means to me.

I've even had thoughts of moving away from my long time home of New York...trying something new, a fresh landscape. But, in the end, the music keeps motivating me and I'm not tired of it, despite the inconsistencies of this pursuit. I can only write what drives me and create something that will stir thoughts in myself and others who connect with it.

...some cool cover songs are coming for you all soon (sort of a small sample in the interim of hearing the new album). I think they'll hit in a good way.
