Adam Rosenthal, composer, pianist, keyboard player, poet, lyricist, dreamer, lover of life.
Love songs: sweet, emotional, raw, energetic, adoring, fiery. From melodic and lyrical, laid-back acoustic piano to orchestrated to rhythmically primitive indie rock. Each intended as an aesthetic celebration of love, its different phases, from yearning to fulfillment. My instrumental music is an expression of my love of beauty. It is intended to fill the listener with a sense of appreciation for what is beautiful to awaken in the listener a greater awareness of the beauty in themselves, and in others, as well as the beauty in the natural, the spiritual, and the Divine. Some to make you feel, some to make you move. My history: Two years of classical piano lessons between ages seven and nine from an old man who lovingly called me Professor. Years of listening to my mother playing jazzy tunes and my father playing everything from Chopin to a beautiful song he wrote, “A storm is a wild thing.” Started writing instrumental songs at age fourteen, playing the same songs over and over again, for hours and hours, then days and weeks, driving my parents completely mad. Started writing lyrics at seventeen songs of love, songs of loss and of longing, lots of others, too. Graduated from Brandeis in ’84 with Honors in Creative Writing. Spent a number of years developing a relationship with pianos, learning how they feel, how they respond to me, to my fingers, what happens to the piano and to me when these two notes are played and held, or these two, or how about these three. Spent some time in Reggae and African music bands in Philadelphia. Formed a band and wrote in , 4/4, 5/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 10/8, 11/8, 13/8, 15/8. Fell deeply in love five years ago, just broke up.... have 90 more love songs to record.... Decided to share my music with the world. Here’s my music, and a part of me.

Story behind the song
I had dreamed of an ideal life many times in my youth, but bumping endlessly into the "real world," I'd all but given up faith that it could truly be. Even while working toward one, in my way, my faith in it seemed almost imaginary. This is another song to the one who has completely restored my faith in that which is ideal, because to me, she is that - kind, tolerant, beautiful, loving, grateful, gracious, wise, expressive, cheerful and a host of other to-strive-for modifiers. This song expresses the idea that there are many things of beauty in this world, but that to me, she far surpassed all other things and brought me back to a belief in my highest visions, ideals and dreams. (For my thoughts on love and kindness, inspired by my observations of her, please read my blog at http://www.myspace.com/adambrosenthal)
Lyrics
There are many flowers in this field I have looked around here and I know the colors well Roses, irises and violets by the dozen But there is only one flower that appeals To me And that is you You're like a rainbow in my sky Your many colors light my life You're all I'll ever need You are everything to me You're how I always wanted this world to be There are many flowers in this field I have looked around here and I know the colors well Roses, irises and violets by the dozen But there is only one flower that appeals To me And that is you You're like a rainbow in my sky Your many colors light my life You're all I'll ever need You are everything to me You're how I always wanted this world to be There are many flowers in this field I have looked around here and I know the colors well Roses, irises and violets by the dozen But there is only one flower that appeals To me And that is you You're like a rainbow in my sky Your many colors light my life You're all I'll ever need You are everything to me You're how I always wanted this world to be
