So three songs tonight at RAH - any takers on the what will he sing guessing game...
NCOE (definitely); Trespassing (probably); WWFM (maybe); or Naked Love (maybe) Long shot: Broken English Really long shot: Underneath
Rationale - focus on current era songs. WWFM wasn't really a well-known song in UK so why do it. Given ticket prices and other artists audience will probably skew younger so ballads not such a great fit.

For me, there are several linking lines, or maybe it would be better to call them curves or spirals ( because it's a 'long and winding road' from TP to OOL which hold all songs together and connect them into a firm, compact unit. 1. Focus: from TP, which is focused on the outside, on the way Adam feels he is treated by people in general, to the complete introvertness of OOL. 2. Emotion: the predominant feelings of the first part are those of happiness, joy, loosened inhibitions, hedonistic indulgences in life's little pleasures... which gently, like through some kind of an internal monologue shift into the sadness and despair of the second part. 3. Colour: the lightness and the darkness of the album don't stand opposed or contrasted. They blend quietly almost as if Adam had added bit by bit of black to every song, the next one always getting more of it, until he ended up with all beautiful shades of whatever colour Trespassing is. 4. Beat: from the heavy, imposing, stomping, aggressive beat of TP, to the barely audible, light as a heartbeat, percussions on OOL. 5. Voice: from loud, fierce, gritty, powerful, to gentle, raw, emotional. There's not a thing he can't do with his voice, and I think that he showed every colour of it on Trespassing, to those who can and know to listen. Trespassing is cohesive as any amazing work of art can be: as a painting, as a story, as a film. Again, I wish I could describe it better, but its artistic rhythm is cascading. * I have to go to work, but I have additions to this story. Good morning to everyone and happy birthday MAYUMI !!!! Yay, I'm back with a vengeance:) I'm quoting myself, how lame is that, I can't seem to help it... Anyways, where was I... TP and OOL are two faces of a mirror: they both talk about the exact same thing! Of course, then they differently portray the ways in which Adam reacts to such a situation. Both reactions are genuine. It is possible that TP shows the outside, what Adam allows others to see, what he wants others to see or think - the brave, fierce, 'you cannot hurt me/ chase me away/ stop me from being all fabulous' and OOL what he feels but never shows - at least not in public. In OOL he gave the voice to that hurt, which is a major step - no one should dare touch that song. If you don't like it, keep it to yourselves, dear reviewers. And just like two magnets, these two songs are so connected by attraction and they keep the whole album firmly together - it's pure science ( physics, I think:) All songs in between are beautiful representations of Adam's other sides/ feelings/desires/thoughts, but perfectly ordered and gradual, as I said before. The four bonus tracks, which I adore to pieces, all four of them, are such gems, but they would destroy the perfect equilibrium of the album. Like precious stones on a ring, they adorn it, but if they were put in the ring, it wouldn't be a ring anymore, the circle would be broken. Imho. This album is in for some awards: if those people who make such decisions give it a serious listen. I could never understand how they do it: they listen to the album once, twice and bam, here's the review. I listen to it gazillion times every day and there are still so many things to be discovered. Almost all the reviews are more than positive, but they are not very thorough, i think.
