1.24.12 Trespassing Album Cover

Trespassing has already received critical acclaim from the UK. Unless the two sides of the pond are total opposites in musical tastes I expect critical acclaim from more music critics in the US. That could possibly mean more to Adam than reaching top 10 on radio. Idk. But high praise for the album here could also spur radio play & sales.

It's not over til the fat lady sings.

Oh and I forgot to flail over the album cover. I LOVE it!

I've been sitting back and reading all the post. I'm not going to get worried or upset about BTIKM and it's numbers. I love the song, I'll listen to the song, and I'll anxiously wait for the album so I can have more Adam music to enjoy. I'll wait for Adam's Tour where I'll be able to experience his bringing all the songs to life with his energy and talent!! I don't care what this Toby guy thinks...but I don't like people who have agendas and try to deceitfully stir up trouble. I don't trust or put any weight to what they say....and I won't fall into their trap once I figure them out. They will be ignored by me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KHARDT and MAGPIE86!!

And GELIKINS so glad you de-lurked!

The Trespassing Cover...just all kinds of PERFECT!! 8-)

Well, I think that it is part of our human nature to obsess and worry and project worst case scenarios. I remember reading some article that said that the "glass half full" and "glass half empty" folks actually had different wiring or chemicals in their brain. I know that this tendency to worry and perseverate tends to run in one side of my family. Fortunately it is balanced by a positive outlook on the other side, so I can usually keep an even keel.

I don't think it is helpful to tell a worrier not to worry. For every positive point you make, they have a counter argument. However, I do believe that one can, to a certain extent, tell oneself not to worry. One can choose, when those thoughts arise, to set them aside and think of something positive. One can choose to act in positive ways. Not meaning to preach or scold. But, I find that when I am surrounded by people ragging on things, complaining, and worrying, I fall into the pattern. If I walk away and go to my happy place (usually listening to Adam's voice and playing with my dogs), I feel much better. And the more I engage in positive thinking and imaging, the more it becomes a habit.

For me, it does not help to think of all the negatives in order to prepare myself in case I am disappointed. If the disappointment comes, it is not lessened by my being "prepared." So, I may as well take a positive approach. It will make the two months of waiting for the album release much happier. I firmly believe I am gonna love the album even more than FYE. I am enthusiastically anticipating being blown away by OOL and Underneath, and dancing my butt into a smaller size pair of pants to several of the other tracks. It's gonna be fun.

BTIKM went from 997 to 841 on iTunes since this morning. I know - doesn't mean much in terms of sales but it's going in the right direction!
