Oooohhh
Yea I'm that guy
Candles lit tonight we'll get high
Yea baby that's right
We're leaving our boundaries aside
I know you like put the tempo
Slow adagio
We could go down in 3 2 1 mm ah
Out of my way out of my way
Girl your done for out of my way
Tell me why you wanna stay
Girl you know you for a stray
Out of my way out of my way
Girl your done for out of my way
Tell me why you wanna stay
I ain't got much shit to say
I don't need no co dependency
To break my life
I ain't found inner peace
Cause you're hoeing around
I know you like
Put the tempo slow adagio
We could go down in 3 2 1 mm ah
Out of my way out of my way
Girl you're done for out of my way
Tell me why you wanna stay
I ain't got much shit to say
I know you like
Put the tempo slow adagio
We could go down in 3 2 1 mm ah
Yea I'm that guy
Candles lit tonight we'll get high
Yea baby that's right
We're leaving our boundaries aside
I know you like
Put the tempo slow adagio
We could go down in 3 2 1 mm ah
Out of my way out of my way
Girl you're done for out of my way
Tell me why you wanna stay
Girl you know you for a stray
Out of my way out of my way
Girl your done for out of my way
Tell me why you wanna stay
I ain't got much shit to say
I don't need no co dependency to break my life
I ain't found inner peace
Cause you're hoeing around
I know you like
Put the tempo slow adagio
We could go down in 3 2 1
No hesitations could've break into
My life
No hesitations you could've came into
My life
Out of my way out of my way
Girl you're done for out of my way
Tell me why you wanna stay
Girl you know you for a stray
Out of my way out of my way
Girl you're done for out of my way
Tell me why you wanna stay
I ain't got much shit to say
I don't need no co dependency to break
My life
I ain't found inner peace
Cause you're hoeing around
I know you like
Put the tempo slow adagio




We could go down in 3 2 1 mm ah
Oooohhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of St. Martin's song "Adagio" seem to be about a relationship that has gone sour due to the actions of one partner. The singer seems to be addressing his partner, telling her to get out of his way and that she is "done for." He also expresses his desire for her to leave, as he doesn't need her to break his life, and accuses her of being unfaithful, which has prevented him from finding inner peace.


Despite all of this, the singer seems to suggest that they could try to salvage things by slowing down the tempo and enjoying each other's company without any boundaries. However, he does not seem confident that this is possible, and repeats his warning to stay out of his way. Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated, possibly toxic relationship that the singer is struggling to deal with.

Adagio in G-minore (1958.) - Remo Giazotto (generosamente atributo a Tomaso Albinoni / velikodušno pripisano Tomasu Albinoniju)
„È una specie di inno non ufficiale, per noi futuri morti, che abbiamo ordinato a un certo momento dagli attuali viventi, per tutta l'eternità e per tutti gli uomini.“
„To je svojevrsna nezvanična himna nas budućih mrtvih, koju smo u jednom trenutku naručili od trenutno živih, za cijelu vječnost i sve ljude.“

Il mondo sarebbe andato in pezzi se non fossero sempre state persone buone, altruiste e generose come Remo Giazotto. Non sono numerosi, ma ci sono.
Svijet bi se raspao da nije uvijek bilo dobrih, nesebičnih i velikodušnih ljudi poput Reme Giazottija. Nisu mnogobrojni, ali ih ima.

Per visibilia ad invisibilia! Per audibilia ad non audibilia! Un'interpretazione musicale degna della monumentalità di un'opera imperitura, che parla del Creatore. Congratulazioni agli artisti!
Glazbena interpretacija dostojna monumentalnosti neprolaznog djela, koja govori o Stvoritelju. Čestitke umjetnicima!

Sir Neville Marriner - the best conductor of them all, offering us an inegalable version of this heartbreaking baroque masterpiece!

A big thank you to you all at St Martins in the fields for your very hard work and your scholarly performance. I send my Love. The Prince✨💖✨

@65Seasons

people react differently to music... for me this music spells peace and quiet -- ergo emotional relaxation for inner enjoyment.

I'm not sure "enjoy" is the right word ? I've always found this piece heartwrenching. Magnificent nevertheless...
