04 Cheeky Chunks

This was the first thing Adam & I ever recorded in a studio.  We'd never even been in one before.  Listen to him!  Adam blew everyone away in the chorus - yeah yeah!

I Feel Love

One year, Adam wanted to do some Americana tracks, country-tinged songs with a story and we recorded some rough demo ideas.  I love this track ‘cos it shows off Adam’s writing & his voice and the last line gets me every time!

Summer Days

These were 3 home demos written & recorded very quickly. Although we never did 'proper' versions I like hearing his voice so raw & natural and his lyrics

Forgiven

Here's an UP tune!  This is a backing track that Adam wrote the vocals for.  We sometimes worked with other singers but I think Ad’s doing backups here. I remember us singing this in his bedroom at Jenny’s in Church Road!

Love is the Best Thing

Songs You Didn’t Realize You Knew

Amsterdam

We recorded Adam singing this in his last ever songwriting session years ago but never used it.  Discovered on an old hard drive in 2022 it feels as though it was meant to be found and re-produced as a gift from Adam to all of us.  This is Adam's last song: Goodbye x

Goodbye

In 2003, Adam handed me 2 CDs.  He said: 'Take the vocal from this one and a bit of the instrumental from this one and make a track,' and that's how we made Bounce!
