We don't need to decide if you need more time
You spend too many nights wondering whats on my mind
We could start with tonight let our song be sung
But you say we be in crisis but maybe you like it, yeah
We prefer night time yeah yeah
Allergic to sunlight yeah yeah yeah
You feel just like last time yeah yeah
Make history all night yeah yeah yeah

Oh mami beh why cant both of us stay open other things take over
All I've got is everything you're not so I tie all my knots oh oh oh
I'm taking you on a yacht so I don't need to walk
Into the caves I've got in my soul yeah yeah

We prefer low tide
Allergic to good vibes yeah yeah yeah
You feel just like last time
Make history all night (yeah) yeah yeah yeah
Oh mami beh why can't both of us stay open

Other things take over over over

Are we over, over, over?

And just like a china plate I think we've been broken too many times.

Mami Beh

Oh, I know the love is coming from somewhere
But I don't know where I should go to fill it up, my tank

I'm going out to remind myself
That I don't need no-one but myself
I try to stick to feeling myself
But when I catch your eye, girl,
We both see mystical visions
All the satisfaction we're missing
We blow each other kisses and mentions
If we hurt each other that's okay just think of all the time till then

I think that I just
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody


Don't wanna end the night alone,
You're searching for the one
In the crowd

Oh yeah

And since the shadows keep us down,
Wear the darkness like a crown
Instead of love

That's it

Splash some Casa Noble on that
Cufflinks and a gown,
On the floor

Oh yeah

We both forget what kept us down
Hoping love will stick around
By the door

Oh oh

I'm going out to remind myself
That I don't need no-one but myself
I try to stick to feeling myself
But when I catch your eye girl
We both see mystical visions
All the satisfaction we're missing
We blow each other kisses and mentions
If we hurt each other that's okay just think of all the time till then


I think that I just
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody


Why don't you come home with me now, me now
Forget our troubles for a while, a while
We'll laugh and cry, we'll crack a smile, a smile
One night one moment lasts a while, a while


I think that I just
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody
Found Somebody

Found Somebody

Elegy I: One Day

First Takes are early, raw, unmixed, unfinished demos that I pre-release to fans. They are glorified voice notes to no one, diary entries and studio sessions open to interpretation, change and feedback. I want to bring fans and collaborators closer to my process as I continue to create. 

First Takes #1: Sit On Down (demo)

Let The Day Go

Lead Single on our EP "Sleepwalk."

Like sending Shamu back to sea 
And looking for diamonds in sand on the beach

That's not who I wanna be
Lady why can't we be
searching for diamonds with two times the speed
with half of the worries and sand on our feet

I didn't go back for the fun of it
Haven't said a single word for the love of it
Never meet another girl with the love for it

Nah 

But A nigga gotta wake up 
Yeah a nigga got keep his head up
up above ground, bury the memories down, 
down, down, down

Don't know what ails me
Couldn't even name it
Details were stolen

took you for granted for sure
You may have locked it but I closed the door
Head on Polaris when you right next door
Might as well stay and try to endure it

Ya ya ya ya-ah

Diggin like I'm born for it
Born again, dead again I'm a pharoah on tour
Right under your feet just waiting for my encore

I didn't go back for the fun of it
Haven't said a single word for the love of it
Never meet another girl with the love for it

Nah 

But A nigga gotta wake up 
Yeah a nigga got keep his head up
up above ground, bury the memories down, 
down, down, down

Don't know what ails me
Couldn't even name it
Details were stolen
Can't be going digging

Don't know what to do, don't know what to do
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do (no-no-no, no no)
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do

Get her paint on, got all the shades.

Caught me in a lie, yeah I took the number

Tell my self that I wasn't gonna use it
Black men don't cheat I never do, shit (right?)
Of course you called
I'm kicking it with shorty 'bout to risk it all.

Titties barely fit in your shirt
Looking like a snack, entree and dessert
Type of girl that could bag your man, easy
Got 'em in they feelings, Kiki

Light flex break it next cause she sexy
Heart, eye emoji when she text me
See? You done fucked up now
My girl seen that shit and now she on the prowl
I knew this was a bad idea
Ran up on the girl she done grabbed her by the hair
I'm tryna break it up, but they both got hands,
Money Mav in the middle, can't we all be friends? (hey)
I knew this was a bad idea (and you still did it)
I knew this was a bad idea (and you still did it)
I knew this was a bad idea (and you still hit it)

Verse 1:

Get away from me before you fall
Away from me before I call

Get away ay ay ay ay, away ay ay ay ay

Away from me before I try
Away from me before we cry

Get away ay ay ay ay, away ay ay ay ay

Prechorus:

You cant say I didn't go and try to put you off
But you kept coming, yeah you kept coming
Guess I kinda grew on ya

You can't say you didn't know, what we'd be going through
But you kept comin, yeah you kept coming
Guess I kinda grew on ya

Who would've thought you're my new normal

Who would've thought you're my new normal
Who would've thought you're my new normal

Verse 2:

You asked me to boss you around
when you get to me when you come through town and
When that invite go out, I
Dont know but damn I like it
You open the door and you open the floor to many emotions
We didn't know where this thing would go
but damn I like it

Who would've thought that I'd be in your bed
Who would've thought that we'd feel like that
Who would've thought that I'd be in your head
Who would've thought that we'd pass those (tests)

Going like

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Who would've thought you're my new normal
Who would've thought you're my new normal
Who would've thought you're my new normal

Boston Based Singer / Songwriter / Producer / DJ
Booking: alexanderpadei@alexanderpadei.com

Hey Fam, 
I'm Alexander Padei ("PAH-day"). Music is life for me. As a teenager, I pushed hard to succeed academically, so hard that I got into Harvard. There was talk of an investment banking career, computer engineering, maybe a law degree. But I learned the hard way that none of these were my calling when my grades slipped and Harvard asked me to take a year off and figure out my shit.
So fast forward past all the obligatory excuse-making, etc., and I've reconnected with something that's been with me since I was a small kid: The Music. I start DJing. I suck at first, but I get better. I go into debt on some speakers and start doing paid gigs. I start a promotional company in Boston, I pour all that money into learning how to produce, rap, song-write, sing, market, speak, network, and more over the next five years. Along the way, I start working in spaces that feed my love of entrepreneurship and TEDx HarvardCollege makes me their Marketing Director. I begin to surround myself with amazing like-minded new friends. I start a podcast, I start an interview series and bring in major acts like Laidback Luke, I start making music for other artists and then for startups. 
Yeah, it's a bit of a whirlwind. But after all this, I've connected with my calling. I'm a multi-varied recording artist, producer and DJ, a creative problem solver, a marketer, a public speaker and a thought leader. I want to become the best artist of my generation. I also want to teach others along the way about building their own creativity and help democratize the music industry. All of my music is self produced, self-written and done on a low budget. I want people to see that they don't need to ask permission or wait for massive resources to come to them to get started. Finding your calling is too important to wait.
