Approximately Adam: Letter to a Songwriter

Letter to a Songwriter

It's 2:13 am on Thursday. I'm in the middle of my EE homework and I had an epiphany when your song came up on iTunes.
You know what that was great? The first time I heard it we connected in a way more intimate than perhaps anything day to day could account for. For that for 2:33 you and I shared an idea so completely and totally that it was damn near telepathy. The idea in your head was exactly the same as I. I was struck again by the line "I live a life free of danger, man is it ever a drag" That's the key to the human condition right now. We aren't tested by anything. You touched on the key to everything. In creating a safety net our species has sealed its members off from each other - we're in Eden again, and we can't figure out why it makes us so anxious. I get it now; it's because the human story didn't really begin until God cast us. In my present struggle, you found inspiration - and I have discovered that I have as well. I wouldn't repeat the last two months for pretty much anything, but it's filled out parts of my being in ways I could have scarely imagined. I want to thank you for actually speaking to me with those lyrics, almost certainly as clearly as anyone has in the sum of my interactions. Cheers.
