So well thought out, put together and delivered. It all starts from the fantastic kit work. The influences have already been mentioned and any of them would be happy to have made this record. Great stuff mate.

Listeners sometimes compare my stuff to Elvis Costello, but I've been officially out-Elvised!  This is a really great song.

Always love visiting your page Adam...killer songs! I listen to them with my Bose headphones so I can get the full effect of the awesome mix and layers of sound.

So good Adam. All your songs are like glittering pop jewels. Reminds me a lot of the work of Split Enz

Love the Spector ta-dah snare drum. Brilliant jangly pop.

Running out of Somedays

The best thing I ever did was marry a woman with a sense of humor.

I love the funny things you do
And all the funny things you say to me
You gotta funny point of view 
You take me all the way from A to Z

All the things you are
Everything you do
You’re like a work of art
I wouldn’t change a thing about you
Baby, I would’t change a thing

Like that crooked little smile
When you try to tell a lie to me
I’d cross a thousand crooked miles
Just to have you give your smile to me

All the things you are
Everything you do
You’re like a work of art
I wouldn’t change a thing about you
Baby, I would’t change a thing
 
I love your silver hairs
The way you just don’t care
The way you haunt my dreams
The way you sing off key

I love how hungry you can get
When you haven’t had enough to eat
The way you throw a little fit
When all you want is something sweet to eat

All the things you are
Everything you do
You’re like a work of art
I wouldn’t change a thing about you
Baby, I would’t change a thing

I love how easy you can be
The way that nothing is a mystery
I’m like the wind and you’re the ground
I love the way you wanna fool around

All the things you are
Every thing you do
You’re like a work of art
I wouldn’t change a thing about you
My funny funny baby
Sweet sweet baby
I would’t change a thing
I would’t change a thing 
I would’t change a thing

I Wouldn't Change A Thing

THE BOY - Gone

This is a slow melodic mellow indie folk tune. This is a ballad. I wrote and recorded this so long time ago, but I like this song's melody, sound and simplicity. This song never hurts anyone, I love that. This is Free Download...I hope you enjoy! & Please follow me on SoundCloud, Instagram, YouTube and Spotify! Thank you!

Gone

A Really Fine Day

This is a re-mix of the original we did years ago . Jeff Roberts who created it from my basic acoustic idea wanted to remix and get it out on Spotify under the name of The Bird Thieves . 
Jeff was the first artist I ever collaborated with on Soundcloud and I will always be grateful to him for giving me the opportunity and believing in my raw ideas. 
Since then I’ve have worked with many great talented musicians from Soundcloud . The Conscience Of Kings project with Noobly simply transformed me and my love for being creative all over again. 
Thank you to everyone I have worked with and everyone I have engaged with on this platform.
Enjoy this tune all over again and a massive thanks to a Soundcloud legend that is Jeff Roberts.

Our Carpe Diem 


Candy to my eyes 
Sweet poison in my heart 
We were electric together 
But safer miles apart
In wild times we were living
And you always made me laugh
When you Dancing on the tables
And falling over in the dark

If your gonna judge us
You better be perfect 
And if you’ve got something say
It better be worth it
we lived for the moment x2
I’m our very own Carpe Diem 


Caught a train to London 
In hindsight shouldn’t of went
We stayed out 48 hours
And drank next months rent
Beautiful minds equal beautiful times
it was never gonna last
But what an absolute blast

Chorus with a times 4 

Outro

Ohhhh Darcey 
With lived for the moment x4

Our Carpe Diem Remix 2024 The Bird Thieves

My children are leaving my house to go their own ways. I have a lot of words to tell them but very few came out on face to face.....

Written and performed by Kyo
*******************************
Dawn breaks on the horizon wide,
Children, are you ready to stride?
Into the world you are gonna face,
Just for your grace.

I wanted to give you more,
In case you’re lost at shore.
I’m afraid that’s too much,
Stand on your own

It’s time for you to fly
Spread your wings and high 
In every blink
I love you more than you think 

Storms may brew, winds may howl,
My love is a constant vow.
Don’t forget I’m here for you,
Blessings what you do.

Distance grows, and time may pass,
Our love will bridge the vast.
Reach out, my darlings,
Don’t be quarreling.

It’s time for you to fly
Spread your wings and high 
In every blink
I love you more than you think

It’s time for you to fly
Spread your wings and high 
In every blink
I love you more than you think

Dawn breaks on the horizon wide,
Children, are you ready to stride?
Into the world you are gonna face,
Just for your grace.
Just for your grace.
Just for your grace.

It's Time For You To Fly

Off-Road

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
