Ahem. Marry me?
Unfortunately, I just found out he's really a bit too old for me. Well, it was a nice dream.
What I love about his music is that when I feel like I'm freaking out or mentally stressed, his Sky Sailing music is calming and peaceful. And all of his music- beautiful. His music dwells on all things lovely.
"I made for the countryside
And my eyes never grew so wide
Apple raspberry, river blue
I don't wanna leave without you!
In the sound I gladly drowned
Into the emerald underground.
I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see
Surrounded by all this beauty." ~Dreams Don't Turn to Dust
I also emotionally relate to his lyrics. I probably read waaaaay too much into his music but let's take "Alaska" for instance:
"When did I arrive?
I don't recall ever leaving Alaska.
Why do I hate the dark when I'm alone?
I was on my way to a brighter day,
I'm still chasing around.
But somehow I believe that this is home.
It's so good to be home."
I interpret this to mean that sometimes we feel like we've been in a dark tunnel for a long time, when suddenly, we find we are out of the funk we were in and we didn't even know how it happened. I guess to really understand you should just listen to the rest of the song. But hey. Don't get any ideas. He's mine. ;)
"Tidal Wave" is my song for when I feel really stuck. My emotions and mental stability sometimes equate to a tidal wave. It's nice for a vent sesh, but also a good reminder that there is hope. "The end is uncertain, and I've never been so afraid, but I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope and that makes me feel brave."
To be only fair, I must say that he does sound the same in pretty much every song he sings. But isn't his voice worth listening to over and over again? So, that's not a problem :)
Now, as concerns him as a person.
I haven't been such a creeper as to really stalk him and find out his favorite color, or something like that. But through random searches on Google, I happened to learn that he's very shy and sweet. He feels things pretty deeply. But he says himself that he prefers the imagination to reality. He's a strong Christian (I love his "Galaxies", "Meteor Shower", and version of "In Christ Alone"). He also suffered from insomnia when he produced Sky Sailing.
In general, I believe him to be a sweet, fun, caring, exciting, adventuresome, quirky, Christian guy. As I have been known to say, should I meet him and fall in love with him and prove his character from experience, then yes. I would marry Adam Young.
And that my friends is how I feel about Adam Young.
