I was with @moodswings1 at the WPST M&G tonight. We were about 25 people 3 of them were the TALC ladies. There were teenage girls and a few guys.
We were asked to write questions on cards that will be picked up randomly later.
We were escorted to the studio which is tiny. We managed to sit in the first row right in front of his mic.
He entered the room and welcome us to his cave
He was sipping tea and said it was a long day.
He asked to start with a few questions saying that he would like time to sip his tea and stall the beginning of the songs a bit.
Questions were generic.
He then said that since the studio is tiny he will sing into the studio mic but without speakers so we can hear him without any intervening electronics.
Cassie - IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! he sounded so pure and so great.
I was afraid to breath it sounded just beautiful (sigh)
He sang BTIKM & WWFM
Between songs he said the the album is delayed but it is worth the wait as he added some great new songs that arrived last minute.
He also said the the date is not fixed as the logistics of moving an international release are complicated - lots of moving parts that need to be controlled.
He was asked about a make-up / clothing line and he said that he might do that and right now he is involved in designing the new merch.
BTW he complimented Kevin saying he is a really talented musician.
We were in the first row so we were still in the studio with him and Kevin when all the other people left for pictures.
The teenage girl next to moody said her favorite song is IIHY and asked if he could sing her a line from the song and he just totally started singing IIHY till the chorus (there were only the four of us plus Adam & Kevin in the room). He told the girl that if she loved IIHY she would really love the new songs as they are much better.
I told him we loved the bit of trespassing we heard and he said that the finished product is a thousand times better and was happy that we liked it. Moody told him that we liked the lyrics too.
It was an amazing experience I cannot thank @moodswings1 enough for asking me to join her.
The purely acoustic BTIKM. Honestly, my mind cannot process it. I see him singing into a mic and I hear him coming from my speakers (thank you, Bose) and my mind refuses to believe this is Adam totally unplugged. His voice and nothing else. I have to keep telling myself "This IS Adam, raw." Anyone else have that reaction?
So, what am I hearing? First and foremost, NOT a performance. This is a friend singing in my living room. For the joy of singing. For the joy of sharing. It's intimate. It's incredibly vulnerable. Totally honest. Totally exposed. (I have to say, the man has balls of steel to do this on the spot.) I feel privileged to share a private moment.
When he is singing the verses, there is an incredible ring and clarity to his voice. It has strength and presence without any heaviness, strain or push. Such pure notes.
When he goes up to the "climax" of the chorus, beyond the range for pure chest voice, he flips into the lightest of head voices. We talk many times about Adam having no break in his voice, but here, the difference in tone is obvious. Why did he choose to sing it this way? It confused me at first. But, on reflection, I believe he sang it that way BECAUSE it was intimate. It would have been jarring and inappropriate to belt it out as if he were on a stage performing. Like he was yelling at someone just a few feet in front of him. This way it was more like a conversation with a friend. "You KNOW me -- (even better than I know myself.)"
The bridge takes my breath away, especially the second half without Kevin's harmonies. It is pensive; almost like he forgets for a time that anyone is listening. The pure voice reflects the pure emotion. "I need you." Plain and simple. The absolute truth.
The final chorus he floats that light head voice with such a tender strength. And finishes with no words, just a pure voice like a sigh.
I loved his comment afterwards about it feeling so good just to sing without all that other stuff. That, my friends, is another confession from the heart. He is letting us trespass into what makes him tick. The high he gets from making music with his body and expressing his emotions in the purest way he knows how. It also gives me encouragement that in the future, when he is not focused on being "the recording artist" he might do more of this naked music making. Risk it all, put it all out there, and let us trespass again.
OMG WHAT A UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL DAY! MEETING ADAM IS EASILY THE HAPPIEST I HAVE BEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME!!!!! HE WAS EVERYTHING I IMAGINED HE WOULD BE AND MORE. HIS VOICE IS TO DIE FOR. BEAUTIFUL! I WAS SO HAPPY TO HEAR WWFM ACOUSTIC, I LOVE THAT SONG ACOUSTICLY JUST AMAZING!!! AND OF COURSE HE DID BTIKM, WHICH WHEN I FIND A WORD THAT DESCRIBES HIM SINGING IT.....I'LL LET YOU KNOW! LOL! I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN VIDEO BUT WHEN I HELD THE VIDEO CAMERA UP I WAS SHAKING SO MUCH YOU WOULD HAVE EITHER GOTTEN MOTION SICK FROM WATCHING IT OR THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EARTHQUAKE!!!
I'VE NEVER BEEN EXHAUSTED FROM NOT DOING ANYTHING. MY ADRENALIN WAS SO HIGH THAT I PRETTY MUCH JUST CRASHED AND COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WHEN I GOT HOME. SO TIRED RIGHT NOW BUT SOOOOO VERY HAPPY. THIS WAS DEFINETLY A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY AND I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD! SHE'S ONE OF THE FEW THAT PUT UP W/ MY OBCESSION....LOL. SHE IS A NEWER FAN, BUT TODAY, HER CHERRY WAS POPPED IN A MAJOR WAY! SHE WAS A PUDDLE OF GOO ONCE HE STARTED SINGING AS WAS I.
THE EYE CONTACT HE MAKES W/ EVERYONE IS......WOW! I'M LIKE OMG.
I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO JUST SEE HIM IN CONCERT ON THE NEXT TOUR, BUT THIS......NOTHING WILL COMPARE. BEING 6FT AWAY FROM HIM AS HE WAS SINGING AND CHATTING AWAY. HE'S SO COOL AND RELAXED, AHHHH.
