Alex Band was born into an entertainment family. His mother is Meda Band, and his father Charles Band is a well known horror film director. His grandfather Albert Band was also another well known director. Band's father is Jewish and his mother is Christian. Both his parents were raised in Italy and they own a castle in Giove, Umbria. Band explores spiritual themes in several of his songs though claims to be of no particular faith himself. Of the song "Please" Band said, "...I grew up with a Jewish Father who didn't practice and a Christian Mother whose only tie to Jesus was celebrating Christmas. Needless to say I had to find my own religion. And in this song I'm asking God what that should be...what should I believe? In a world so full of different religions and so many people fighting over whose belief is the correct one, it frustrates me to think that they all really boil down to the same thing."

(feat. Carlos Santana)
Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies...and it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and it never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
'Cause without you they're never going to let me in
When's this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin you around
And it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and it never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
'Cause without you they're never going to let me in
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' oh
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and it never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
'Cause without you they're never going to let me in
So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
