Some of Adam's music:


November 3, 2023

Another song that began as a snippet of an idea many, many years ago. I very quickly had the ideas for the chorus section of the song, but I recently pulled this one out of the pile and figured out what it wanted the rest of the track to be.


It's an old saying, but it's so true, The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same. Apparently first written by a French writer in the 1840s, it's one of those phrases that seems to apply relatively constantly. It also seems to apply to so many different situations and conditions too. Jobs, countries, and so often...people...myself included.


Background vocals for this song are performed by Ingrid Lakey, Daniel Bacon, Eli Goldman, and me. All the instruments, as well as lead vocals, arranging, engineering, and production were done by me too. Once again, my artistic and talented youngest child made the fantastic artwork that accompanies this song.

The More Things Change
© Adam Goldman

The boss has changed, has a brand new name
The game is old, but things stay the same
The people seem different, and so does the place
The new boss insists that's just not the case

The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

They try to understand, to read the signs
But the nature of people means many skewed lines
On the Tower of Babel, no one is clear
I learned their language, but they still don't hear

The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

This song began as the seed of an idea over 20 years ago. I dusted it off and finished it only recently. No real intention behind the lyrics, they are what grew out of singing along with the music. I've found that sometimes the song tells you what the lyrics should be, and that was the case with Let Me Go.


Letting go can be hard...and it can hurt.


This entire song is performed by me. All the instruments, as well as lead vocals, arranging, engineering, and production were done by me too. Once again, my artistic and talented youngest child made the fantastic artwork that accompanies this song.

Let Me Go
© Adam Goldman

Here I am
Beside you
All I want
Is another day
I can't imagine
Leaving
But all I know is
I can't stay

You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go

I want more
But I can't have it
I still hope
For a better way
A new direction
Is never easy
But all I know is
I can't stay

You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go

You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go
You got to Let Me Go

This song is inspired by the 2020 lockdown that resulted from the spread of COVID19 here in Philadelphia.


It was eerie going outside and not seeing a soul anywhere...no people moving around, no cars or other vehicles in motion...very odd and out of character for my very large city.


This song's background vocals were sung by Ingrid Lakey, Daniel Bacon, Eli Goldman, and me. The instruments (drums, bass, keyboards, and strings), as well as lead vocals, arranging, engineering, and production were done by me too. Once again, my artistic and talented youngest child made the fantastic artwork that accompanies this song, showing Philadelphia's iconic City Hall with a ghostly image of me walking the empty streets.


As a dear friend has said to me many times, loneliness is everything it's cracked up to be. I can't really think of a more disturbing metaphor for loneliness than a Ghost Town.

No one is ever really alone, even when it feels like they're stuck in a Ghost Town.

Ghost Town
© Adam Goldman

This town is a Ghost Town
things changed back in the fall
there used to be people everywhere
in winter, no one here at all
the streets are empty
and it's time to move on

How'd I end up in this Ghost Town?
is there shelter from this cold?
dark and lonely in this Ghost Town
empty place that has no soul
How did I end up in this hole?

I need your help to find my way back home from here
I need your help to find my way back home from here
I need your help to find my way back home from here

My heart is a Ghost Town
nothing left here but my fears
I'm over being lonely
Long time since I ran out of tears
I can't measure the cost
but believe me I know what I've lost

How'd I end up in this Ghost Town?
is there shelter from this cold?
dark and lonely in this Ghost Town
empty place that has no soul
How did I fall into this hole?

I need your help to find my way back home from here
I need your help to find my way back home from here
I need your help to find my way back home from here

I wrote this song years ago, in 2007 or 2008, and recently revisited it, polished it up a little, and now have it available to hear.


This song is inspired by my wonderful wife, and the title "No Downside" makes clear why....there's just no downside when we're together.


This song has background vocals sung by Ingrid Lakey, Daniel Bacon, and me. Daniel plays the bass parts too, and the rest of the instruments (drums, keyboards, guitars, and horns), as well as lead vocals, engineering, and production were done by me too. My artistic and talented youngest child made the beautiful and whimsical artwork that accompanies this song, showing colorful heart-shaped balloons lifting me ever upward over Mt. Fuji, defying gravity's more literal downside.


If any piece of work can be accurately described as a labor of love, No Downside is certainly one.


I hope you like it. Please like, subscribe, subscribe, and/or follow me on your favorite streamind service, and please share it with others.


The upside is that there's No Downside.

Lyrics

No Downside
© Adam Goldman

When I go out at night
I want you by my side
If I go far from home
With you I'm never alone

(Chorus)
There ain't No Downside, baby
When we're together
There ain't No Downside, baby
This love's forever

It's all good when I'm with you
A bond so strong it's like crazy glue
That even diamonds can't chip away at
And there ain't nothin' wrong with that

(Chorus)

I'm so glad that I sent you that letter
And ever since it just keeps getting better and better
From now 'til the end of time
I'll be yours and you'll be mine

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

I've just posted the 25th anniversery remaster of Big O Dizzy's album "Friends."


This album, originally released in 1997, is the result of 12 years in production and of the talents of the many gifted folks who worked on it. Daniel Bacon, Mark Wolfe, Andy Lipnick, Marianne Gellert-Jones, Ken Hymes, and a large cast of friends & family were involved in recording this project.


The album has 11 songs: Control Yourself, Friends, What Do You Want From Me?, Field Of Pain, Shoulders Of Giants, No Rest For The Weary, So Long, Paradox Of Love, If You Let Me Be Me, and Thank You. I remastered it in the last month or so, and have uploaded the results to celebrate the work's 25th anniversary.


If you've heard it before, I hope you'll enjoy hearing it again; if it's new to you, I hope you like it. Please share it with your FRIENDS.

Here's another song I wrote years ago, but never really made a finished version until now.


Have you ever felt overwhelmed and unable to make a decision about something, or that clarity was just out of reach? I sure have. I've learned that often times the harder I push myself to make a decision, the more elusive a decision becomes. Practicing patience has proven the key in those moments, and answers then present themselves if I allow them to arrive in their own time.


Giving myself a break and being patient is the inspiration for "A Matter of Time."

Once again, it's my talented youngest kid who created the artwork that goes with this song. The production is mine, words and music too. The track is made up of drums, bass, piano, guitars, trumpets, saxophones, and trombones, background and lead vocals. Ingrid Lakey, my incredible wife, doubles the background vocals as well.


If you've ever struggled to find answers you need, give yourself a break, trust yourself, and be patient...because as the lyrics suggest, "It's just A Matter of Time 'til you'll know what you want...it's just A Matter of Time."


I hope you like this song, and that you'll share it with others far and wide.

Lyrics

A Matter of Time
© Adam Goldman

I've been having a hard time
trying to walk down a fine line
I've been looking all over the place
for what I now see in your face

I've been trying to make up my mind
and I've finally realized
now is the time

(Chorus)
It's just a matter of time 'til you know what you want
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time 'til you know what you want
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time 'til you know what you want
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time 'til you know what you want
It's just a matter of time
'Til you know what you want

Trying to make it work
I feel like a big jerk
I'm pushing myself too hard
to make my way up the line too far
I know it will all be fine
if I just take my time

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

Released a new song of mine today called, “Give You the World.” I wrote the song in 2004 or so, but only recently fully completed the recording of it and published it to various internet streaming services.


My two older kids are the inspiration for the song and lyrics (which are printed below.) My youngest kid didn't exist yet, but is the talented person who created the artwork that goes with this song (also below.) The production is mine, as are the words and music. The track is made up of drums, keyboard bass, piano, guitars, trumpets, saxophones, and trombones, background and lead vocals. All the parts are played or sung by yours truly, as is all of the production work of recording, mixing, and mastering.


This song for my kids comes from the heart, as you'll see in the lyrics, and in the chorus telling them that I want to “Give You the World.”

Give You the World

(Chorus)
I want to give you the world in your hands
World in your hands
I want to give you the world
Give you the world
I want to give you the world in your hands
World in your hands
I want to give you the world
Give you the world

I want to give you the world in your hands
World in your hands
Full of wonders only you'll understand
You'll understand
Give you the power to be all you can
Be all you can
Grow into the future and be your own man
Be your own man
Have no fears about taking a stand
Take a stand
You are connected to the sea, the air, the land
The sea, the air, the land

(Chorus)

I want to give the whole world to you
World to you
The seven seas and the sky so blue
Sky so blue
I want to help you find what is true
Find what is true
Look a little closer though and you'll see it's not new
See it's not new
Strength, courage, wisdom run deep in there too
Run deep in there too
You need to know it's all inside of you
All inside of you

(Chorus)





More to come...
