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
On the upcoming CD, "From Always to Forever," the song just before this one, called "Making Love To Your Memory," (not yet posted) was a song of longing and despair over the time and distance between us, seemingly interminably long. The reality is: only three weeks had passed. Whatever time-clock the rest of the world was running on was nothing like my love-clock, which apparently counts minutes as hours, hours as days, days as weeks, and weeks as years, when we're apart. This song then, was written just after we went dancing together for our first time, on Halloween. We somehow had the floor to ourselves, and she looked beautiful (as always). I was so happy to be with her and so happy to have her dance with me. That night I came home and wrote this song to reflect my feelings, my appreciation and my love, and realized that the lines about time tell as much about what I believe is our spiritual journey as our momentary three week seperation.
Lyrics
Everything I felt I feel again All the time that passed blew away like the wind But then we made it happen Then we fell in love Then we made it happen You're the only one I dream of The only one I dream of Everything you were you still are Every time I hold you in my arms It's more than I could dream of It's more than I could ask It's more than I could hope for Just to hold you in my hands To love you and watch you dance Oh, to watch you dance! Oh, to watch you dance! You move like the water waving in the sea I can feel you moving, moving deep in me I can feel us mingle I can feel you breathe I can feel your heartbeat Your trembling to your feet You're trembling to your feet Oh, to watch you dance! Oh, to watch you dance! Everything I felt I feel again All the time that passed blew away like the wind But here we are right now And now we are in love You see? We made it happen You're the only one I have ever The only one I ever The only one I will ever Dream of Dream of our love
