Another World was the first album I took a lot of time with. The songs were actually written before<\/strong> Secrets of Soho was released, but myself and producer Jack Reynolds were being meticulous about how we wanted Another World<\/strong> to sound, so the album was eventually released after<\/strong> Secrets of Soho. There were two words that prevailed throughout the writing and recording: Acoustic and Beautiful. I wanted to make a record with only organic sounds. Acoustic guitars, violins, cellos, pianos and harps. I wanted to make something that would always sound like it could have been made any time in the last 100 years.<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a gentle sounding album, and I think that\u2019s what I needed more than anything else during that time. Life wasn\u2019t gentle, but working on this album made it seem like it was. Along with I Am For you<\/strong>, it\u2019s probably the most beautiful sounding record I have made. I performed it live twice, both times at The Union Chapel in London \u2013 one of my favourite venues.<\/h3>\n

Almost all of the songs began as poems that I later put to music. Listening to it 10 years later, I wonder why I didn\u2019t promote the record more than I did because it\u2019s carries some of the most prosaic and adventurous lyrics I\u2019ve written. Similar to Secrets of Soho<\/strong>, there are actually a lot of secrets on this album. Thoughts and feelings about people that I would never say out loud. Letters Never Sent<\/strong> \u2013 that could have been an alternative title for this record, but Another World<\/strong> captured where I was at.<\/h3>\n

Occasionally I still go into another world. Don\u2019t we all?<\/h3>\n
