About Me

Son of Adam wants to hug your ears with his melancholy infused folk-pop attempt at "happy songs."
"Not just boyish good looks and, dare I say it, a heart of gold, David Orenday is the one-man crooning machine known as Son of Adam. Close your eyes and allow me to set the scene: you are 13 years old. Your first crush has invited you to a party and as you walk toward the front door, your palms are sticky, your heart is pounding. In an hour, you will have spun the bottle three times, finding yourself in a dark closet for Seven Minutes in Heaven. You will feel a carnival inside your chest, and the sound of the other person's breath just before you kiss will seem impossible and perfect and infinite. You know this moment is fleeting, but you want to live inside it forever. In its darkness, its spinning, its innocence and grace. Now open your eyes. Maybe you never had that moment at all, but you could. Find it in David's voice, let it expand inside you, and be content with infinity for a moment." -Amanda Abel
