Adrian Borland - Walking In The Opposite Direction

"Walking In The Opposite Direction" from Adrian Borland, singer of "the Sound"!
The album called "The Last Days Of The Rain Machine" [2000] and it's all acoustic!!! Enjoy!!! It's awesome!!!

[@Elissa66]

I heard this song for the first time ever last night and it's already one of my favourite songs of all time. My god. What lyrics. I only discovered The Sound weeks ago and I am completely obsessed. I had no idea Adrian Borland passed until I came across this and saw the comments. I am heartbroken. To find a kindred spirit and then find out they are gone... Heartbroken. Thank you for all you left us... All I am now discovering.

Welcome to the club!

Beautifully said. I, too, have just stumbled upon them. And I was old enough then to have known them but I guess a lot of us in the States missed The Sound

An artists artist. Rest In Peace, Adrian. Such a beautifully intense spirit, sorely missed ❤

My friend, how I miss you...great advice and much laughter! Fabulous songs as well...

[@sandrabriere9389]

Around 1980 I had a mix tape with 4 the Sound tunes from The Lions Mouth album on it. There is no doubt in my mind that it was the cassette that was played the most in my beat up 1972 Pontiac Lemans.

[@gerardochavez5654]

My spirit's free, you won't get me Into the box your life is locked in Your value system's broken down I see it blocks the road it stopped in And every day the things you crave Make a play for my affection I tell you straight, I won't be swayed I'm walking in the opposite direction They scream at me from flashing screens They hassle me from city walls But these are other people's dreams They don't resemble mine at all And every day the things you crave Make a play for my affection I tell you straight, I won't be swayed I'm walking in the opposite direction The stuff that you hold dear and high How does it warrant such devotion? I think you've lost the reason why Though you still carry on the motion And every day the things you crave Make a play for my affection I tell you straight, I won't be swayed I'm walking in the opposite direction

It's exactly 20 years since we lost this wonderfully talented, smart man, Adrian Borland, frontman of The Sound. It makes me think of the social problem of suicides and how everyone of us knows someone who dealt with suicidal thoughts. If you're struggling too, I would say that such music is already the reason to exist. It may not be convincing enough for everyone, but it's surely important for me.

[@juangoldstraj]

great and beautifull song, silent air its my favorite song of all time...

[@themanwithxrayeyes]

such a beautifull song...true genious

1981. Met him in Madrid, saw the Sound in concert, unforgetable. Forever Adrian.

You must really hold an intense deep hatred for oneself to jump in front of a moving train. Fuck... it's sad.

Wonder if Elliott Smith knew his music.

He may have lived longer if he had. But we'll never know. Now they're both part of a heavenly chorus.
