MUMBAI: Grammy Award-winning singer, Sam Smith, is putting together his favourite new songs into a notebook so he can "treasure" the ideas forever.

The 23-year-old British singer wants to "treasure" the songs he has been writing for the follow-up to his debut album- ‘In The Lonely Hour’, so he is copying his favourites into a special new notebook, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Alongside an image of his new pad, he wrote, "I've decided with this album to put it all in one notebook, and treasure it. Currently writing out the songs I've already done that I love. This is exciting."

"Ever since I started writing songs, from the age of 12 (my first song I wrote was called 'Yellow hat' - don't ask) all the lyrics and ideas I've ever written have been on random bits of paper and phone notes that I wish I still had to look back on," added the ‘I’m Not the Only One’ singer.
