John Adams finds faith with latest ballad ‘Amen’
If music be the food of love, then John Adams has hit jackpot. Written to encapsulate the moment he learned of his wife’s pregnancy with twins, ‘Amen’ is the sonification of utter contentment. Opening acoustically, the track speaks to a higher power through emphatic vocals and building harmonies, but you’d be mistaken if you thought John Adams to be a religious man. “We’ve all said a prayer for the things we can’t control”, he says, speaking of his faith in love and kindness, “on this day all mine had been answered”. Instead, ‘Amen’ pays homage to the cosmological grandeur of abundant joy, and rejoices in what it means to be alive. ‘Amen’ marks the soundtrack for when words aren’t enough.
