Lately I've been spending a lot more time at the piano and I figured I'd start recording some simple little videos to share with you. If you enjoy this, please let me know and I'll keep posting more of them. I dedicate this song to everyone who struggles to find purpose, hope, companionship or light amidst the darkness. ©James Michael

I know Adam's fans are mostly pop fans but the truth is that the best comment ever made about his voice was made by a rocker. For those who don't follow me on twitter I'm a hard fan of Nikki Sixx so I follow his new band called Sixx Am. The singer is James Michael, the guy in this video. Here you can hear which is, in my opinion, the most beautiful thing ever said by a singer about Adam's amazing voice.

It should be easier, I should be good at this by now,
After all this time, I should really have it down,
But I don't want you back, even though that's how it sounds,
But I can't lie, I miss having you around.
If I really love you then I gotta learn to let go,
Memories won't lead me to heaven though,
I'm doing everything I gotta do to get through,
But it's a b*tch making love without you.
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
I can run but I can't escape you,
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
Wish I could learn to hate you.
It's like a hurricane, came and tore my world apart,
And in the aftermath, I'm finding pieces of my heart,
If I was mad at you, I would already have moved on,
But in reality you were good to me but you left where you belong.
If I really love you then I gotta learn to let go,
Memories won't lead me to heaven though,
I'm doing everything I gotta do to get through,
But it's a b*tch making love without you.
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
I can run but I can't escape you,
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
Wish I could learn to hate you.
I must admit I, I've done some stupid things,
I can't forgive myself for anything,
I wish I could rise above, I wish I didn't care,
I wish I didn't care.
'Cos it was more than just our first time,
I can't believe you broke it off before we even tried,
Now I can't breath in, I can't feel the feeling,
I'm not blaming you I know you had your reasons,
But f*ck all those people that say I wasn't right for you,
And lied to you and said I did things that I didn't do,
Well I swear to God I would have died for you,
I would have died for you, I would have died for you.
If I really love you then I gotta learn to let go,
Memories won't lead me to heaven though,
I'm doing everything I gotta do to get through,
But it's a b*tch making love without you.
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
I can run but I can't escape you,
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
Wish I could learn to hate you,
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
Wish I could learn to hate you,
Woah-o-o, woah-oh,
Wish I could learn to hate you,
Woah-o-o, woah-oh, I can't escape you,
Woah-o-o, woah-oh, I can't escape you,
Wish I could learn to hate you
