Song for Adam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Song for Adam" is a poetical masterpiece by Jackson Browne from this 1972 debut album Jackson Browne. On the surface it tells of the memory of a long lost friend Jackson had known, who committed suicide. One may guess of its allusions to mankind and Browne's place in this lost mankind. Picked up by Kiki Dee in 1973 on her Loving & Free album, which made it seem more like a call for unity between menfolk and womenfolk à la Helen Reddy's coda Until I make my brother understand.

Also picked up by Larry Norman, who by doing so, as a very popular Christian contemporary music performer of the early 1970s, left no doubt as to the reference to Adam as being all of mankind going wayward of sorts.

There is also a good version in Catalan by the majorcan singer Maria del Mar Bonet.
