LYRICS:
Sorry it’s late - I know I missed your call again
Been tryin to change - got stuck in my ways again
I been feelin faded, disconnected lately, missing what money can’t buy.
All I wanna do is be brand new.
I swear I’ll give it all up just for you.
And I would sink my house down under water
I would trade all my gold for dirt
Lemme tell ya right now
I would walk thru fire just to hold ya
Whatever gets me closer to you
Whatever gets me closer to you
Sick of the game - never holdin on to what I start
Helluva shame - I almost got the life I want
Got no one to take to Paris, France to understand the man I am.
I feel like I’m running outta time.
Oh tell me why our stars just don’t align?
And I would sink my house down under water
I would trade all my gold for dirt
Lemme tell ya right now
I would walk thru fire just to hold ya
Whatever gets me closer to you
Whatever gets me closer to
Your touch, your love
I want it all too much
I’m cryin
I’d give the shirt off my back just to get you back
Baby, baby, I’d lie in the eye of a hurricane
Just to have you blow me back
To when you still believed in me Baby, believe me
And I would sink my house down under water
I would trade all my gold for dirt
Lemme tell ya right now
I would walk thru fire just to hold ya
Whatever gets me closer to you
Whatever gets me closer to you

Wow, really nice, I am 70 years OLD and usually don't care much for the newer performers, until I saw you on MSNBC tonight with Queen. Adam you have it all, please live a long time, so you can keep this up. Thank you for making this old man happy. A new Fan.

[@MasiaDe]

Hes been around a decade; but has a documentary called "Queen + Adam Lambert Show must go on."

[@freddiemercury4evr]

Bobby, his voice is even better in person. It's other-worldly. Indescribable. A rare gem.

[@freddiemercury4evr]

@J L S it was better Adam didn't "win" Idol. I've seen his solo gigs and I've seen him with QUEEN and his voice is simply not of this world!! Plus, he's incredibly down to earth and easy to talk to..

[@jwm4ever]

Bobby Goforth When you hear Adam Lambert LIVE in Concert, No Autoimmune, just Real Deal Live Vocals, you will be so Blown Away by his Voice!! There's no singer that can compete or is better vocally than Adam. Just see him Live!!

[@amandaclark9302]

Just agree

[@MelisendePF]

If Adam doesn't have a major hit with one of the songs on Velvet.. then I just don't know. This and Superpower are better than 99% of what I hear currently on Top 40 radio. I honestly don't know what it's going to take for him to get to Ed Shearan-type stardom - because when it comes to vocal prowess and performance skills he's the best in pop music right now.

[@katherineelizabethawning1653]

I agree wholeheartedly with you but I just don't know. The Side A EP had a rather underwhelming debut on the Billboard 200, something like #146 if I remember correctly. And his other 3 albums all debuted within the top 3. Adam made a conscious decision to make the Velvet era sound less modern and mainstream so that he could make the music he truly wanted to. As much as I enjoyed The Original High, I'm assuming he got tired of industry executives pushing him to release more EDM crowdpleasers. Releasing Velvet on an indie label definitely affected his "success" when it comes to stats and charts, which deeply upsets me because fewer and fewer people are listening to this absolute music LEGEND who is releasing his best work yet. NO singer in the industry today has quite the power, accuracy, emotiveness, range, sustain, etc. that Adam has. His fanbase also seems to be older than most current chart-topping artists, which means his fans can't promote his work as effectively as the younger generation can via social media and extensive online connections/influences. I'm sad that he's not as noticed as he used to be, but at the same time I'm really glad that he can finally be in charge of his own work. Excited to hear the rest and sorry for this long ranty-ish comment whoops!

[@Elysianism]

@@katherineelizabethawning1653 I'm grateful for Adam not making the crap people nowadays label as music. A classy man is doing his own thing like Bowie .. who never cared about current trends, Adam's music is timeless, specially his new album. There will always be audience for good music regardless of their age.

[@katherineelizabethawning1653]

@@Elysianism certainly! Agree with everything you said. I was trying to analyze why his new music has made less of a mainstream impact compared to his previous albums. But I agree that there will always be an audience for Adam who seeks great music and great vocals over a Billboard rank. Of course I wish more people would hear his music, but I actually only discovered Adam recently (past few months), so hopefully there will be more people like me who will be drawn to him via his Velvet era (which I absolutely love so far)! Cheers :)

[@katherineelizabethawning1653]

@@Elysianism Plus, I'm relatively young (17) so hopefully younger people will get introduced to Adam's timeless music as well! I just want as many people to hear this voice and this incredible music as possible.

[@ahmedjou7220]

Totally true

[@isabelljean3977]

How handsome and gifted is this man

[@Lnzinorbit]

To think he didn't win America Idol..one of the best talents of our time...

[@maryannkidaloski5450]

I am sure he didn’t win American Idol because he was gay !

[@Lnzinorbit]

@@maryannkidaloski5450 I think you are right about that. As somebody else said it's probably for the best that he didn't win because they would have him under contract and under their thumb.. I think it was a lot of little girls voting for The Winner whoever he was!!

[@michaeldreher3853]

@@maryannkidaloski5450 NO winning that is usually a curse;. Better to come in second place.

[@jenpiccirillo7312]

@@maryannkidaloski5450 it was because he is gay. A christian church bought a crap load of disposable cell phones and used them to vote for the other guy because they didn't want a homosexual to represent as America's Idol. Talent aside the other guy should have been disqualified for cheating because of that. but they let it ride.

[@Lnzinorbit]

@@jenpiccirillo7312 not to say the other guy wasn't talented because he was but he did not hold a candle to Adam Lambert. However yes it's a good thing he didn't win. There are some that did win that went on to tremendous Fame but he did it because of his extreme talents.

[@deemueller6470]

WOW!!!! 2.3k views in 5 hours! Been a fan since "what do you want from me"; am I the only one that thinks he should have a line of skin care products called "eternal youth"? Super stressful lifestyle and he still looks amazingly young. Him singing songs that give an impression of emotional wisdom beyond his young years. May Adam keep enjoying what he loves; He is a great showman! And may we (the fans) continue to reap the blessings of his art. Adam, if you ever see this- just know that you're amazingly talented and your songs deeply resonate with us.

[@PFCD]

Adam is a Sublime talent and a song like this should have catapulted him into the true superstardom he deserves. Seriously he's the frontman for arguably the greatest rock band of all time, sang superbly at the Kennedy Center Honors for a legend like Cher and opened the Oscars with a killer performance...all way more than most even dream of. Absolutely no one denies his incredible voice. My God what accomplishments of his is it going to take for him to get his due?

[@carolhagerty4288]

Somewhat agree but I think he’s still very successful as a solo artist and of course, with Queen. They have regained enormous success and popularity worldwide because they chose him as their second frontman. They have millions of fans once again.

[@Thomas-qg3bm]

Adam's voice is beautiful in every song he sings but this song in particular has everything to be a mega hit.

[@CTRiver14]

Yes I agree! This should be the next single and IMO could be bigger than What do You Want From Me.
