Gene Eugene's mystical voice—often mistaken for R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe—remained the least-changing element in a band that Thom Jurek of allmusic has described as "inventive and artfully canny." Adam Again's style was rock and acoustic with strong hints of funk and traces of soul running throughout. The band never achieved commercial viability and quit touring and recording together in 2000 after Eugene died in his recording studio, the "fabulous" Green Room.
I Remember You
Adam Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I remember that your body was broken
And I remember that your blood was spilt
And I remeber that you didn't have to do it
I remember you
And I remember that your body was broken
And I remember that your blood was spilt
I remember
you this is a song that expresses deep reverence towards Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he made on the cross. The lyrics are reflective of the biblical accounts of Jesus' crucifixion, where his body was broken and his blood was spilt for the sins of humanity. The repetition of "I remember you" indicates the songwriter's gratitude and remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made.
The phrase "And I remember that you didn't have to do it" highlights the selflessness of Jesus, who willingly went through such immense pain and suffering to save humanity. The songwriter recognizes that Jesus could have easily called off his mission, but chose to endure the cross for the sake of others. This message of selflessness and unconditional love is a recurrent theme throughout Christian theology.

i have always loved the haunting nature of gene eugene's voice and where mac powell did a 'pretty' cover of 'the tenth song' i feel it lost the edge that adam again's version had that made it connect to one's innermost emotions. well done!
