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.
Freeze My Love
Adam Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While I'm diving down for the sun
But the sun has me come a-clipped
And that's one fifth of what's been going on
I'll just freeze my love
Because technology has changed me
Somebody better drag my soul
And somebody better fold my arms
For they'll need nowhere to go
I'll just freeze my love
Because technology has changed me
I said I'm gonna freeze my love
Lives encrypted on down the line
I was dying on demand
Now I'm calling from the end of time
I'll just freeze my love
Because technology has changed me
Freeze my love
Because technology has changed me
The song "Freeze My Love" by Adam Green is a contemplative and introspective piece of music that delves into the impact of technology on the human experience. The singer begins by stating that he is going to "freeze" his love in order to pursue his ambition of diving down for the sun. However, this plan is thwarted as he realizes that he is a victim of technology and its pervasive influence.
The singer expresses his disillusionment with the way technology has changed him and his world. He believes that his soul needs to be dragged through an "atomic hole" to emerge on the other side cleansed of his technological dependence. He also imagines his arms being folded, as they "need nowhere to go" in a world that has been transformed by technology. In essence, he views technology as having bound him up in ways that leave him feeling empty and unfulfilled.
Overall, "Freeze My Love" is a commentary on our relationship with technology and how it has transformed our lives. The song suggests that we need to be mindful of the impact of technology on our experiences and take steps to mitigate its negative effects.
