i'm not sleeping ----------------

"I'm not all that innocent anymore" This has got to be one of the hardest songs on RTS to get used to. It’s not your typical song, not very melodious, and a lot of people get turned off by Adam’s seemingly lack of originality by using such lines such as "rain rain go away…." But well, I think that this is a good song, not one of my favorites but pretty admirable. I always admired the way Adam expressed himself. And if there is ONE song that really sums up for me the point of frustration(with fame) that he so often talks about, its got to be this song. He just lets it all out on this one, and you know what? It all ain’t that pretty, but the beauty of it is that he doesn’t care. There’s no hesitation here, it’s pure honest emotion at its best. Instrumentally,
this song is very interesting,
from the hypnotic and consistent
drum beat of the verses( I just
love the drums here), to the
simple but strong declarations
in the chorus, to the rich string
arrangements, and finally the
bridge. A lot of people take
this bridge as noisy, sloppy
and incoherent, I think it’s
a masterpiece, well, we’re all
entitled to our own opinions,
let’s just leave it at that.
