Hi Maria22pf *waves* I also love Loaded Smile. Along with Soaked and Broken Open, I feel that had they released these ballads, Adam may have garnered a whole new audience. Abriton I think certain songs just go straight to the heart and are based on our chemistry, life experiences, etc...and for me Loaded Smile (and Adele's Rolling in the Deep) are both amazingly melancholy and real and get under my skin, I appreciate (more than you will know) that there are others who feel the same - music is SO personal, it cuts through all the intellectual BS, there are songs that make me cry (and I don't even know what it is that is causing me to cry, it's the tone, key of the song, even before I listen to the words). Another song that did that to me is Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing" - first time I heard it I started crying - Adam's ' Mad World' did the same... Maria, You just expressed exactly what I feel when I hear some songs. So much better than I could say it myself. Thank You So Much!! Some songs just do that. I've spent many nights crying, for no reason at all, just listening to some songs on youtube. Sugaree can attest to that one...lol! (TY again, S)  Adams *I Just Love You* will do that to me everytime. I have to admit, I didn't know of the song for a while. I had heard peeps talk about it on MJ's, a long, long time ago. Didn't look for it tho. Once I found it, it was always my *cry to* song. Actually, in about the middle of Idol, Season 8, I finally figured out that there were online places where I could find out stuff about Idol. Never knew it before...lol! I'm still exploring new music & websites now, because of Adam. I was so into music for so many years, even when my kids were young. But, I didn't know who or where. Just heard it. Now, I know so much more and am having the time of my life, learning more and more every day!! It always makes me smile, even on a bad day. ETA: even before I post. I have always loved bar bands(worked in several bars/dinner places) and had some great times with some of them. I have experienced some awesome bands, with original songs, and could never figure out why they didn't have big hits on the radio, etc. Now, I know why, but at the time, I just couldn't figure it out. I've heard some really, really great tunes out there. It's kind of sad to think of all the amazing artists that never get a chance. *sigh* |

Yes! To MyS*&@^#r50 and maria222pf!! We may be the only ones left on the thread tonite, but I am right here with both of you! I didn't really get lost in the events of raising my boys; but I did lose music; to the extent I thought, one day, "all the good songs have been written". My perception of music was that I'd rather listen to news radio because there was nothing musically inspiring out there. Now I know how wrong I was. I just wasn't looking for a melody. The amazing thing about my Adam awakening is HE caught me, unknowing, and did just that - he awakened me and brought me back to experiencing the passion - singing, dancing, going to concerts - that had shaped and inspired me years before. As for "Loaded Smile" - it is one of my most intimately loved songs, ever. It speaks to me. It speaks to the relationship my parents had, that I watched, that I lived. Two beautiful people loved and then began to slowly ruin the love. Their last dance was at my wedding. Hi girls!! Loaded Smile....love that song. so does my 16 year old |

Two beautiful people loved and then began to slowly ruin the love. Their last dance was at my wedding. momtomany, I am still here, just not so vocal most days...lol! A Loaded Smile touches me also, hon. I too, lost music, for a while. Not because I was raising 2 sons alone, but later on, when I was into the *empty nest* syndrome. But, I never gave up on it. With Adam, I have found not only his music, but so many more types of music that are pleasing to me. Mostly Adams, though...lol!! When I'm so tired, from working 10 hr. days at a low rate of pay, I can always come here and lose myself in all of the love...and Adam. It makes my world turn right side up again. I'm so thankful for that. I so appreciate everyone here, who takes the time to post tweets & vids. A Loaded Smile touches me because of so many things, but I truly love it, and it really says something to me. Besides that, it's just beautiful, to me. It makes me feel. *It's a certain kinda complication*. Uh Huh...I know about that. Been a tough day, not going into it here, but love you all!!! Listening to ALS for the 3rd time now... *sigh* |

Glittergma, I have a melodic Adam mix that includes I Just Love You as well as other softer Adam stuff. That song gets me every time.
Try Lightening Crashes by Live.
