Does anyone but me get a Time for Miracles vibe from Closer to you? Especially the Baby, Baby section. To me it captures that same desperation, plaintive pain. Absolutely. Except that I loved TFM since the beginning, but it took the live session of CTY to make me a believer. I felt the studio recording pushed the drama at the end a tiny bit too far without completely resolving the arc, while the live performance succeded in the balance. On a personal note, I was finishing a binge watching of Netflix' Stranger Things when Velvet Side A dropped, and for some reason the picture in my head when listening to CTY was the silent blackness of Eleven's mind when she was connecting blindfolded, maybe due to the clarity and lack of extra noise and filters present in the other songs of this era... When I first saw the live session, I actually had to check if my sound was on, as it starts with a few seconds of pure silence... And then the angels get on their skates.Love this! I got goosebumps as soon as he started singing CTY live session..that must have been those angels. I don't know what it is about his voice in a live setting like that that just grabs me emotionally.

Kryptoman, Thanks for your thoughtful (as usual) response. Give the burgeoning Adam fan an extra hug!
When I hear Adam live, the Timbre of his voice resonates inside me.

I think Adam has heard some of the angst and nasty comments after I saw he posted Ready To Run. The lyrics are very timely, going to a safer place for living, people being savage, it's hateful here. He's saying it without actually saying it. I thought exactly the same thing when he posted Ready to Run for no apparent reason....lyrics fit perfectly.

Finally home from a week away and getting back to normal routine. I love this POSITIVE thread! We need it. There is so much to be positive about, really. Adam has a lot on his professional plate, and that is a very good thing.
I also am getting a TFM vibe from Closer to You. I love both songs. CTY should be a strong song for Adam, one he should definitely sing on his own tour. Been streaming all the new songs when I can, esp. Superpower.
I love that old pic of Adam in Germany! That's when he was doing Hair. What a cutey! Can't wait to hear Adam's actual voice again in the upcoming promos and performances. It's been a while.
I hope he remembers that just a few current words from him would really be like performing a miracle. It's time for one!

I would say it was about time for Adam to post that last song, I was waiting for it.

There were a couple of "NEW" posters last night that said because Adam hasn't posted anything that he didn't care about his fans or now that he's rich he doesn't care about his career. Also because of that don't be surprised if Side B never comes out and a solo tour will never happen. That was a bridge too far for me! ETA: I had to respond to your question but lets not go any further with this.

ETA: I had to respond to your question but lets not go any further with this. some new posters? very, well, that's one less fan. Fyi, Adam doesn't have whole lotta fans too begin with - try not to reject people who have decided to suddenly post because of another person- btw I was defending that Adam fan who suddenly left because it's not personal enough for her. Very well. I shall stop my support for him on this board. He does have a very interesting career. But No one will care, until they get certain FACTS, his career is too complex, too international, and he is to multifaced. People don't follow or understand that too much. I happen to stumble upon him during 2016 when he was having problems in Singapore, and I heard the issue of LGTBQ rights for his concert on the NEWS. Then years later I came across him again... only to figure out it was him. imo. I wish him well. His career - is a maze, that's a problem.. I will only stream his music. Take this as a lesson. BYE.
