Why I Wrote: Adam & Eve
Our overall mission with Eighty Unplugged is to create a platform for songwriters to be more than just background music. There is a beautiful vulnerability in songwriters that is easy to overlook if you forget the real human heart behind the beat. To expand the platform, we are introducing a new series: “Why I Wrote…”
Like Adam and Eve, Babe…
The first episode features my song “Adam & Eve.” This song is a fantasy—a romanticised reference to Adam and Eve. I wrote it while experiencing romance for the first time in my life, and as I tend to do when I write, I took all my thoughts to their most intense conclusions. This song was inspired by feelings of love, temptation, and lust.

Flesh of my Flesh
Bone of my Bone
In the gates of eden
One man and woman alone
I am unashamed
For your arms I was made
All weakness embraced
I feel only purity
Like Adam and Eve, Babe
Like Adam and Eve, Babe
You and Me, Babe
Like Adam and Eve, Babe
Bone of my bone
With good and evil unknown
And ignorance to loose
Happy with our eyes closed
Tempted with the fruit of affection
With a known consequence in the action
Throw away our care, let it happen
Forget the garden and the whole situation
Like Adam and Eve, Babe
Like Adam and Eve, Babe
You and Me, Babe
Like Adam and Eve, Babe
