about

Failure. The word has an ‘ouch’ to it, but the truth is, we don’t get anywhere without risk. Have you put yourself out there with your work, romantic relationships or creative ventures? If it didn’t all go to plan, did you learn from the experience?

‘Adelaide’ reflects on when it all goes a bit wrong in a romantic relationship – but the desire is still there. Maybe you crave something or someone that isn't good for you. Being in the moment can have it's benefits when it comes to being spontaneous and having new experiences. This song is a celebration of those impulses and a recognition that the thrill may come at a cost down the line...

lyrics

Adelaide


Adelaide, won’t you stay with me tonight?
Adelaide, you know we’ll be alright
Adelaide, you have always been the one
Adelaide, tell me you know where I’m coming from?

I know you don’t want to see me cry
So don’t make me say goodbye 

Adelaide, I don’t want to be your friend
But, Adelaide, I will love you to the end
Oh don’t be a stranger now
Just love me in ways only you know how 


Adelaide don’t hold a gun to my head
Adelaide just take me to bed
The birds and bees bite and scratch to survive
It’s the best part of being alive
