What an amazing voice...I say this as a musician myself, primarily a vocalist and originally trained for over 7 years as a classical (opera) singer. Wow.
Gosh, after all these years I still don't quite get what Adam is telling me there. But it's been the most haunting and beautiful song i had the privilege to listen to via the internet, so: thank u very much, Mr. Green. You are, in deed, a hero.
such a great voice.
great song, great vide, great voice. can't say anything else, really....
greetings from Italy! Great Adam!
Dude is so under the radar I feel like, amazing
love it I want to play 2nd lead picking over this!
yeah!! i love adam green he is awesome and i think we'd be best friends if we met
its my favorite song from the album...love it :)
are you guys kidding , this video is pretty cool. Adam green has yet to make his masterpiece, but he's on the way
Freeze my love is a masterpiece
Just a metaphor. You take from it what you want.
I think the guy is his dad, and "Adam" (narrator) took over his role in the family: When his dad had an epiphany of how he treated his son over the years (badly), he felt so sorry he wanted "Adam" to commit revenge, instead though, "Adam" became the "man" in the family and belittled his dad's titile, hence the silent woman as the "mum".
Legendary video
I'd kill to go back to 2009
Wow, this is so beautiful.
nice lyrics, so touching...I love your house
i just found out about you, but lordy i wish i had known of you a long time ago :) so much emotion ...
He is very rich, in life and talent.
reminds me leonard cohen! great
i agree that adam green has yet to make his masterpiece. but this is still great
What are your feelings ten years from your comment?
@@Hatguy23 I'll gladly follow that up! I think his follow up album to this with Binki Shapiro is equal in quality, but after that the music went downhill. I think he oddly focuses on his visual art now, music is more of a side thought. I also think he's focused on his family, which I get. Either way I think I was probably wrong, I'd say his best albums are Friends of Mine, Minor Love and Garfield.
@@gusterguy01826 Haha thanks for taking the time to reply! That's really interesting - I've only just discovered him so I am just getting my head around how much he changed over the years. Personally I'm not crazy about Garfield - it feels quite similar to what I've heard of Mouldy Peaches, and whilst it's good it feels more like novelty tracks than something I can relax and listen to. That said I've heard the same thing said about his more recent material!
I'll definitely go back now and give those early albums more of a chance : )
@@Hatguy23 Garfield's songwriting is top notch, but the production does no service to the songs. He re-recorded "dance with me" and "computer show" for an ep and they sound so much better. Friends of Mine is great. Gemstones is very good too, but the production is a little "karaoke version of popular songs" at times. Jacket Full of Danger is ok, but you can tell he went overboard trying to make Gemstones on steroids (that album went Gold and had a #1 song in Germany, he was trying to keep the success train rolling.) Sixes and Sevens is an album that doesn't know what it wants to be, but there are a few good songs. Minor Love is damn good, so is Adam and Binki. Aladdin has a few good songs, Engine of Paradise the same (just over 20 minutes, really more of an EP). Of course, just one guy's opinions!
@@gusterguy01826 Thanks Burt, I appreciate it - gives me some guidance on where to go next. I hadn't even heard of Jacket Full of Danger - hasn't come up on my CZcams yet. I really like Friends of Mine and what I've heard of Gemstones fits your description exactly. I think there's a song in the style of Leonard Cohen on there? I'm enjoying Adam and Binki a great deal, as well as Engine of Paradise. It'd be a good idea if I listened to more of the albums as a whole rather than scattershot.
If you had to choose a top five songs from him, which would they be?
It's about a girl who seeks men who will abuse her and push her around ("somewhere there's a prince and he likes to strike me down")- she equates this with what a real man is ("how do you find a guy around here") but any abusive men she's found always seem to break down (They lack the "Boss inside") The partner she is with at the end of the song breaks down ("I guess the boss inside of him died") and she leaves, because he needs her more than she needs him ("I took his life instead")
@theresistants im sure adam green is far from rich. im sure he does ok for himself, but this is a guy who has worked hard to get where he is. he's got an extensive library of songs in an era where most artists pop an album out every 3 years. and hes never made the same album twice. his live show is to die for, by the way.
this song breaks my fucking heart every time.
i did paint a oil image of the guy at the end of this video ;)
How do you find a guy around here?
I've already sped through a year
I've already tried all the campus bars at night
even cried alone at the diner
somewhere there's a prince and he likes to strike me down
I know I'm not the reason
I'm just the one he found
and all these other cowards, they're not hard to boss around
just get them in your arms
and you hold them 'til they drown
I walked back to the cottage with no hand around my wrist
and I heard the sound of vodka bottles breaking
I went out to the clearing, he was standing with a fist
but I couldn't see the face that he was making
he said make me some dinner
I said I thought you'd never ask
he was standing in my kitchen
I was filling up his glass
he finally started screaming
and pointed to the bed
he wanted me to kill him
but I took his life instead
ugly moments
strung together
and the poor guy couldn't even find his temper
and he could no longer make me cry
I guess the boss inside of him died
I guess the boss inside of him died
I guess the boss inside of him died
Spat* through a year
I was definitely thinking Leonard Cohen too lol
Edgar!
it's so funny how people think all musicians are filthy rich. why, i ask myself? as if true art ever got recognition.
A song for fathers and vindictive sons everywhere.
This song makes me listen to the lyrics and they confuse the hell out of me.
@theresistants no youre wrong.
this is definitely the style of fabrizio de andrè
Someone needs to contact Leonard Cohen's lawyers
I think the song is about a desperate woman who can't find her prince. To pass the time, she has several relationships with men she doesn't love. This makes her unhappy and sad. Her current partner is schizophrenic and can't find a way to get rid of his imaginary fiend. So he asks her to kill his imaginary fiend but in order to kill him, she's got to kill her partner, too. The boss inside is the imaginary fiend and that's why adam green ends his song with "the boss inside of him died".
again great music, great guitar, great voice. but the text is a bit too comprehensive for my taste.
@MrChiliaison Dont know where you could find the schizophrenic part in this song. The guy isnt just as hard as he thought he would be. When he made the fist while she couldnt see his face - - maybe he was already weeping.
I can c yr sources . . .
Tu kain pelekat orang buat sarung, kau buat baju
Leonard Cohen?
@corydee123 god sent trolls to punish those who still have faith in humanity
@jymchaak Hahahaha
I don't get what this song is about. It kinda sounds like he might be refering to his dad...maybe?? idk
@gusterguy01826 His father is rich
If you like Adam Green check out my demo i just posted!
i voted wrong on this comment, i wanted to get a thumb up but i voted thumb down I'm so sad now!!!!!! i'm drunk

Not a fan of talk music but lyrics seem alright some make no sense
The song is pretty good but the video makes me wince with embarrassment.
