The Spell (Alphabeat album)
The Spell is the second studio album by Danish pop group Alphabeat, released on 26 October 2009 by Copenhagen Records. Alphabeat stated their second album would be a departure from the pop roots of their debut album, Alphabeat, in favour of dance acts from the 1990s such as Snap! and Black Box, with band member Anders SG saying the title track was particularly inspired by Black Box's 1990 song "I Don't Know Anybody Else".
The album was originally set to be released in the United Kingdom one week after the original Danish release, but was eventually released on 1 March 2010, followed by the second single, "Hole in My Heart". As announced by the band through their Facebook page on 27 January 2010, UK and international pressings of the album were retitled The Beat Is... including the bonus track "Till I Get Round".
In November 2010, the album earned Alphabeat the Danish Music Award for Danish Group of the Year.

My Life
Father says he is the only one
And even if he is the only one
I find him so confusing still today
Mother says she is the only one
And even if she is the only one
She was the one I needed her today
She was the one I needed her today
You know I never tried to hurt you
I never tried you know I really never tried
Somehow I find I really need you
I'll never, ever, ever leave you
You never ever will believe me
Chorus:
Even if you walked across the skies
I'll be with you tonight
Even if you told a thousand lies
I'd still believe you
All alone along the sea I dream of you
You know I need you here with me
The emptiness inside my heart
Your an angel well within my
Your and angel weel within my sight
Sister says she was the only one
And even if she was the only one
My life was just completed yesterday
Darling say that you're the only one
And if you say that you're the only one
My life was just completed here today
My life was just completed here today
I find him so confusing still today
Mother says she is the only one
And even if she is the only one
She was the one I needed her today
She was the one I needed her today
You know I never tried to hurt you
I never tried you know I really never tried
Somehow I find I really need you
I'll never, ever, ever leave you
You never ever will believe me
Chorus:
Even if you walked across the skies
I'll be with you tonight
Even if you told a thousand lies
I'd still believe you
All alone along the sea I dream of you
You know I need you here with me
The emptiness inside my heart
Your an angel well within my
