@bzrwon If you listen to the song one part says "I look up into the night sky and see a thousand eyes starting back. All around these golden beacons, I see nothing but black." He means the stars and the night sky. Trying to find heaven, I imagine. Back when I thought he was a black dude, I thought it had something to do with that.
he didn't write american boy, my bad, and as far as his orientation, i care, because it's one more fine man lost to the other team, don't worry about what I worry about.
I mean wow....I have listened to S.S songs & he is truly talented. I am a born again Christian, I don't need to support a human beings sexual orientation to respect their God given talent. Obviously we weren't made to be with the same sex but to hate is even more wrong. Youtube is a dirty place, don't cry about such things as Sam Sparro's hole of choice. I pray for you all, such sad creatures that argue online.
What are exactly are the chords the pianist plays in this version? I mean I know it's in the key of Em... But he adds like 7ths and stuff. But, it still only sounds like he plays three or four chords throughout the whole thing... What are they? Anyone know?
@jonathanrowley I knew that. : ) But can you tell me the names of the main jazz chords which are created with the '7th and Diminished Jazz fingering' ?
@camflame18 are you kidding me? I love Adam lambert, and yeah, he's hot but he can sing 6 ENTIRE OCTAVES. can you do that? No, because he's a true original.
I wish that was true but to the media they try so hard to keep out gay/bi people. Although, Adam Lambert is different but that is because of American Idol and people are thinking out of the box.
@000sanin000 pfft. no they aren't. the only reason adam lambert is getting the shit marketed out of him is because he was the hearthrob on american idol. little did millions of teenyboppers know they were barking up a crooked stalk bahahaha. that's literally the only reason he has any songs on mainstream radio. people couldn't give a shit about other people's LGBT preferences when in comes to music.
lol...people look at a kinda unknown guy called "airto" doing this, AMAZING vocalist and much as i like Sam Sparrow..guy is a much better singer, I know its bad but his version/voice is amazing.
In a video interview, Sparro confirmed that the song's subject is his religious faith, saying "It is about God, yeah. [...] I do like to have faith in something that is bigger than me."
and prince is similar to sly, jimi, george clinton, stevie, and they are similar to ray charles, james brown and a grip of other blues musicians and so on and so on....
