Falling Upwards

Shrug

Morose on Melrose

Something Will Happen

Got my life in your hands
Don't mess it up friend
Put the wheel to your chest
Suck it up, take a deep breath and begin
Take the long trip home
A little numb and broke
But I've got your love
Just kickin' it back and runnin' with it

Indebted, indebted, indebted
Indebted, indebted to you

Missed the sun go down
As the band plays to the house
Woke up early and found
Broken bottles in the bathroom

Meant to stay with her
But he didn't like that much
So we cozied up on the floor
True friends don't get so possessive

Wouldn't want to be like that
Though I know she's got my back
These things don't always last
Washing the rosy off my glasses

But I couldn't find them there
Left them on the street somewhere
Good thing you got your pair
Now we don't have to die in collision

Indebted, indebted, indebted
Indebted, indebted to you

(Indebted) Got my life in your hands
(Indebted) Don't mess it up friend
(Indebted) Put the wheel to your chest
Suck it up, take a deep breath and begin
(Indebted) Take the long trip home
(Indebted) A little numb and broke
(Indebted) But I got your love
Just kickin' it back and runnin' with it

Adam James cut his teeth on east coast stages and recording studios writing and performing extensively in bands like the post-hardcore Sleep Bellum Sonno, Prog-punk outfit The Vigilance Committee and his gritty folk-rock creative brainchild More Than Skies.  With influences ranging from The Beatles and Beach Boys to Cut Worms and Nada Surf, Adam’s musically intelligent and poetically vulnerable songwriting would feel at home on playlists among Beach House, Conor Oberst, Richard Swift and Death Cab For Cutie.

Following 2020’s Lucky Dollar City EP, The Willows, Adam James’ solo debut full-length project is due out late summer. The Willow’s dreamy California sound pays homage to his time spent in LA by way of NY.  The LP’s dreamy California vibes replete with slide guitars, synths, and nostalgia-inducing reverb-doused melodies reflect his swapping of coasts and intimately shares the emotional journey all this dogged traveling and prolific creating has been.
