I dream of a better world where chickens can cross roads without having their ulterior motives questioned.

All I can say is I was enchanted to beat you.
Plot twist: call me definitely.
You’re not a true fan unless someone plugs you in and you start cooling people down.
Computers and food.
Also, not to beat a dead horse but I think it’s worth putting to bed the misgiving that my record label has “negatively influenced” my new music because of the way it sounds to some people. With zero disrespect toward the opinions of others, I can assure you it’s really quite the contrary. I’ve become head over heels fascinated with what makes people tick, and moreover, how I might capture a lot of magic in a small jar within a set of self-imposed parameters. It’s hard to explain, but exactly where and how these two things have the ability to coexist together without tipping the scale is what’s beyond inspiring to me and I can’t get enough of it. It’s pop music, sure… but how stirring and electrifying and inspiring it is with the right perspective or frame of reference! That’s not to say it always will be for me, it’s merely the sparkle that’s captured my attention at the moment. It might be something else tomorrow, it might be something different in five years, all I know is that I’ve never been more truly, genuinely excited in my life about releasing new music than I am at this present moment. It’s all in how you look at it. Sometimes people say, “that’s great… but just make sure you’re being true to yourself” and let me tell you, nothing could be more accurate, because that’s precisely what it’s all about. Staying true to yourself. The second it ever becomes about anything else, I hope I have enough sense to hit the brakes and never write another song. Just want you to know I get it. Music evolution happens and it’s okay.
I feel like so often listeners don’t get a chance to hear the specific thoughts/feelings spelled out from the heart of an artist they admire because so often it’s just wham… new material, zero explanation, it sounds different than it did before and people don’t have a point of reference or insight regarding why the artist is making the choices he is choosing to make.
So here’s two cents worth of insight for ya. You’re the greatest.
Just searched the “Adam Young” tag and wow, I can feel the love tonight. Thank you all so much for your extreme kindness as well as your excitement about the music I make and the projects I’m involved with. It goes without saying that I remain truly indebted to you for your continual support, and thus, with all the heartfelt sincerity I can muster, I want to say thank you.
I have this crazy theory that I’ve yet to make the music I’m going to be remembered for after I’m gone, and I’m unbelievably excited to find out what that is, what it sounds like, how it works, where it leads, who it speaks to, and of course, I greatly look forward to sharing it with you as I discover it. The thing about a solo artist creating music away from the influence of other musicians is that the presentation of his art may inherently keep changing like the ebb and flow of the tide, but despite the push and pull of his own inspirations, the heart and soul of the artist will always remain the same. Thus, I believe it is extremely important as both artist and listener, to allow the music to carry you wherever the winds may choose to blow.
Here’s to a beautiful ride ahead,
Adam
No I don’t have Draw Something, and if you send me one more FarmVille invite I’m calling the cops.
