“It would be easy if I could split my heart into three.”

“For Me, For Her, For You” by John Adams | Here’s something new from John Adams, the singer-songwriter who, the first time I wrote about him back in February, I compared to James Blunt – not unfavorably; I think my hook was that comparison. This is off his upcoming album You Never Know Who’s Listening, and it’s a relatively straightforward track whose lyrics make me really keen for it. It’s simple, yes, but it’s lovely. Again, his earnestness keeps it going, but nicely this does not feel like an ordinary song from the get-go – it quickly captures that special thing at the very start, and I think that’s worth writing home about.
