There is now an absolutely gorgeous music video for Adam's song, Stranger, from his upcoming album Like A Man. This is beautiful on so many levels. And be sure to watch to the very end.

What a beautifully poignant song. I love the different people mouthing the words to the song in the video,
And the ending is wonderful! I am looking forward to when this album is released
Thanks for posting this Marie.

Thank you, Marie!

Here's the alternate version of the clip (1st cut): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAADZNHJfr0

Thanks Marie I really liked that. Adam seems to have changed his format and come into his own, nice location

The apple doesn't seem to have fallen too far from the tree.

Thanks for the link Marie. Just the therapy i needed ....

You are right Paula....and just to reinforce that statement -
I couldn't help but notice at the end of the video that "My (the) room, it looked the same" - and I think it could be the same chair!
.....seems to some degree that history has a way of repeating itself.

What a great observation, Bev! Thank you so much!

Between 1:47 and 2:00 minutes the voice sounds hauntingly familiar.........

Nice! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing with us, Marie! Adam has developed his own unique style and seems no longer concerned about comparisons with his father. In fact he appears to have embraced the past. The views of Hydra are gorgeous. Bev, you're right....that could be the same chair!

Good song, though I thought some of the tracks on his myspace page from the upcoming album were better - check them out here if you haven't heard http://www.myspace.com/adamcohenband

Marie, or anybody else, I tried to view 'Stranger' using YouTube link you provided, but it said "This video is private".

I joined YouTube but still can't access it - any suggestions, please?

Cheers,
Andrew

Sorry to report both versions of the video have been removed. Adam wrote on Facebook:

"so sorry folks, although i'm flattered by the interest and kind words dispensed on both the song and video; the video is wholly unfinished and meant to come out in a sequence down the line, not first. all the best, a."

So, guess we will have to wait for the finished product upon release of the album. Both the album and video are worth the wait.

Thank you for posting this Marie,
This is such a beautiful video and it demonstrates on so many levels Adams artistry. I love how the video is layered with pictures of so many personal moments in Adams life. I am looking forward to the completion and release of the CD.
