Green attended Emerson College briefly in 1998 before leaving to concentrate on his music, going on to co-found the anti folk group The Moldy Peaches with Kimya Dawson. In 2004 The Moldy Peaches went on hiatus and both Green and Dawson embarked on solo careers.
Green released several albums on Rough Trade Records. Among his better known songs are "Jessica" (about singer Jessica Simpson), "Novotel", "Friends of Mine", "Dance with Me", "Carolina" and "Emily", and, in Britain, his cover of The Libertines track "What a Waster".
Prior to Jacket Full of Danger in 2006, all of Green's albums had been released on the 22nd of the month. His latest album was released on March 18, 2008 and is titled Sixes & Sevens. Titles include "Morning After Midnight", "Twee Twee Dee", and "Drowning Head First", the latter a duet between Green and his girlfriend.
In January 2008, The Moldy Peaches began having a resurgence in popularity, due to their music being included in the hit indie film Juno.
Dance With Me
Adam Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, there is no goal
Turn the lights on bright
You're a rock and roll star
Feel my love
Coming from the heavens above
When my eyes meet your eyes
Baby, come dance with me
Baby, come dance with me
On TV, at the TV station
Baby, come dance with me
Baby, come dance with me
On TV, at the TV station
You are lost
And I'm at home
And nobody wants to be here alone
Ooo baby's in mint condition
Man I'm doin' some dirty wishin'
Let's both get on that rocket to the stars
Baby, come dance with me
Baby, come dance with me
On TV, at the TV station
Baby, come dance with me
Baby, come dance with me
On TV, at the TV station
Baby, come dance with me
Baby, come dance with me
On TV, at the TV station
Baby, come dance with me
Baby, come dance with me
On TV, at the TV station
Baby, come dance with me
Baby, come dance with me
On TV, at the TV station
The song "Dance With Me" by Adam Green speaks of a desire to connect with someone and not be alone. The lyrics start with the singer telling the person he's singing to that there's no goal, that they should just be together, and that they are a rock and roll star. He then proceeds to express the love he has for this person – a love that comes from the heavens. When their eyes meet, they both know that it is true.
The chorus of the song has the singer inviting the person to dance with him on TV at the TV station, inviting them to be with him wherever he is. The bridge talks about feeling lost and not wanting to be alone, while the verses express the longing for human connection, even going as far as wishing for them to be together forever. The overall theme is one of wanting to be with someone, to dance with them and enjoy life together.
