I love Adam Ant, I love Jim Moray, I've been sectioned myself for severe depression, and I love this song.
Try and think about what a lot of folk songs actually are. They're tales of notorious individuals which have been become heavily romanticized and dramatized as they pass from person to person. When you listen to this, imagine it's just that. If you understand what he's doing you'll realize it's NOT a pisstake.
Ah put the tears away Adam is just great now. Looking sexier then ever and sounding fab. What a guy he has risen to his beautiful former self :-). To keep all his Antpeople happy. What a Star x x katie
Hi! i'm a lucky frAntchpeople (stop lauguing!) and i got something in common with Adam. I don't understand the entires lyrics of that song, but u know the stuff: music's universal language. IN F rance nobody never gives a shit about adam, so it wont starts now!Murray seems to sing sadly . Do u ever feel sad for adam? I do. Sometimes u try to do your best to thank and tribute for someone u really care. If u don't even try shut the f up and stay where u are, we don't need u . Antmusic.
I've been an Ant fan for 30 years, and perhaps the writer of this song had best intentions,....but it's crap. If he really wanted to make a tribute, he could atleast put in some burundi,..
i sort of agree with feltwood when they say "nobody likes to be reminded of themselves at their worst" but you have to remember adam is very open minded about his illness and he encourages anyone and everyone with mental health problems to speak up because they're not alone.
I love how this is like the only song on the album with comments, and it's full of fan boy faggots bashing it. You guys ought to go find yourselves a life, really. It's the internet, but don't let it fool you - you opinion is worthless, just like mine.
The song has good intentions and interesting that the padded cell doesn't refer to Adam being locked up literally but that he felt like he was in a padded cell during his awful illness, much like Pink Floyd's The Wall imagry.
I would dearly have loved the song to end with Adam Ant is no longer unwell as Adam is clearly much much better healthwise these days and planning new material and concert tours.
Give this guy a break...it's a fucking tribute, if you were even paying attention!!! He TAUGHT that, ridicule is nothing to be afraid of...so, then...why would he NOT be honored that we were all paying attention? Refer to the track: "Prince Charming", Einstein!! Gee whiz...take a chill pill>>>>>>>GREAT SONG, DUDE!!!
well i can assure the author of this song adam was not alone or in a padded cell, and i think this song is in bad taste; there may be good intentions and musical talent in there but it is well-disguised. mental illness is not a trivial matter, and i wont be buying it. however, im sure in a strange way adam would be flattered, but nobody likes to be reminded of themselves at their worst; it must be like being told what you did when you were very drunk at that party the other night only much worse
This is cracking: It's sung so soft it sounds like a parody, and it's about Gun's and illness. It's a like a tape you play to kids to get them to go to sleep, but the lyrics are just of the point.
I'm only guessing, however I feel the negative comments are coming from the fact that those people many not have taken the time to read the lyrics. Sadly, and maybe why YouTube is so popular, is that people don't want to have to take the time to read.
I think the lyrics are very sad but, alas, true. I think you did a very nice job.
Either way this 'song' was written from a deliberate conversal point of view at the expense of some, alright guy who recently has had a very hard time.
Some fucking cheap skate, trying ever so hard to get a bit of publicity.
Mmm.... I think the fact that some think it's a joke may give you a hint as to how poor this work is ! Sounds like the clumsy warblings of a deranged 6th form music student.
I dont think its a piss take at all . I love it. Its very haunting I must admit I dont like the title "Adam Ant Alone in His Padded Cell" I think thats a bit cheap and misinformed but all the same its a great tune.

I would question the mental heath of the guy that took the time to write this utter garbage.......

I think he's fine.
I met him a few weeks ago. He was stressed as lots of equipment hadn't arrived, but seemed in perfectly good mental health.

Very powerful. Mental illness is a struggle everyday. I think the song is sad but thoughtful, not mean or a bad joke.
Ive been a Adam And fan forever, as well.

i think adam ant is even more of a badass for being institutionalized. all in all, its really no big deal anyway. he was an awesome singer.

I think Adam Ant deserves to be remembered for alot more than one incedent in his life. People in glass houses...

It may well be sincere or kindly meant, that doesn't make it any good. I can't believe people think this is a "great tune".

Leave the poor guy alone. Adam Ant is getting his shit together these days. He doesn't need crap like this on the net.

Piss poor whiney bleating, absolutely terrible.
Adam Ant has an illness, what's this person's excuse? Should never have got an audience but that's the internet for you.

The title of the video makes it sound like it might be a pisstake, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. It's called 'Adam Ant is Unwell' I think.
Anyway, I love this song. It's so melancholic.
