Heart in Two

Bad Luck is the lead single and opening track to the 2nd full length album of Adam Barnes; A songwriter based in the countryside of Oxfordshire. This is an extension of the final song of the ‘One Day We’ll Be Fine’ E.P named 'Tennyson'.  

Bad Luck is a song that seems to be a staple of the independent music scene. Small independent artists looking to make space for themselves and the struggle that it’s taken to get to this point, A reflection on 3 years since Adam's last record.

It’s meant to be raw, open and intimate, backed by the strings of Barney Morse Brown (Birdy, Duotone, Richard Walters) This isn’t a song looking or asking for pity but stating the realisation that every two steps forward seems to be followed by a step back. It’s optimism in the face of defeat, a second wind to make a go of it. It seemed a perfect way to open the record and set up the songs to come.
