Sophie is on board with the "Take Me With You" crew again, and i must say i'm really happy she is working with them on another song. Its going to be a good dance track, i hope she releases it.. And the second track with "When Love Takes Over" crew! Sophie is really going to make this album one hell of a dance record. Can't wait!!! Woo-hoo! :)

2. Not Giving Up On Love
(Buuren Armin/Ellis-Bextor Sophie Michell/Nervo Miriam/Nervo Olivia Margaret)

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Take Me With You (Produced by Johnny Douglas) DL
Here's an unreleased track from the Trip The Light Fantastic era. Sophie recorded about 70+ songs for that album but she had written more than 100 songs. Will we ever get to listen to those songs, we'll never know. But here's one priceless jem which leaked recently.
It's a song produced by Johnny Douglas, who has also worked with Kylie on her Light Years and Body Language albums. Apparently, he has also worked with George Michael, Sugababes, Tina Turner, All Saints etc., This is the only song he wrote with Karen Poole and Sophie for her album but it was later rejected.
I played around with the ending a little, because the end was so abrupt on his version. For anyone who wants to know what i did here goes - i cut out the part i wanted to edit, changed the channels, gave it a reverb effect and then tried to add an intermittent sound effect, thats why you have those bit breaks in that part. And i sampled a cymbal crash from eJay, a software people use to make remixes, and reversed it, added a reverb + 3 echos and mixed it with the sample i had cut from the song.. finding the exact position to mix it was a little hard. I used trial and error there to find the exact place to put the cymbal crash, and when it was done, i took the finalized sample and placed it with the rest of the song and gave it a spin. It sounded terrific...
Go ahead, give it a listen:

Take Me With You (new Sophie track)
LISTEN HERE: http://www.myspace.com/johnnydouglasmuzik
Johnny Douglas has produced a track for Sophie called "Take Me With You". The song was written by Douglas and Sophie about 4 years (which means it was written for Trip...) but was rejected by Fascination. Why!? Who knows!! They're deaf!! This is one hell of a song. YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS SONG!!!
The song is well produced. Very 80's! Sexy!! Sophie sounds great! And i love the layering work.
I tried to decipher the lyrics, here goes nothing:
TAKE ME WITH YOU (Ellis-Bextor/Douglas)
(Verse 1)
This seems so far
Close as we are
There's too many between us
You blame the host
Raising a toast
If we leave will they notice?
(Verse 2)
With the next sunrise
We'll exchange goodbyes
I just want tonight to last forever
I want you alone
So send the others home
It's not fun if we can't be together
(Bridge 1)
If you run when i say run
We'll leave everyone none the wise
Outside all the stars shine bright
There's no prying eyes
The night's our disguise
(Chorus)
The rest of the world falls away
Just you and me here now
(Take me with you)
I don't know what else i can say
Only "take me with you"
(Take me with you)
(Verse 3)
Thoughts keep me warm
While you are gone
Play it over and over
So kiss me again
And don't let it end
Leave a memory to hold on to
(Bridge 2)
I'll count every hour down
Until you are back by my side
And now where the stars shine bright
There's no prying eyes
The night's our disguise
