And yet most nights of the week, around Australia, of our singers meet up in person or online in Sweet Adelines choruses to learn, practice and enjoy being part of a wonderful music community — and yes, that's even during the pandemic lockdowns! If we can't meet up in person, then we get together for a rehearsal via Zoom. What is a cappella? A cappella means singing without instruments so no keyboard or guitar accompaniment.
We sing four-part, unaccompanied, close harmony mostly in the barbershop style and mostly songs that are contemporary or favourites from all different genres. A cappella music can be sung by a quartet, with each singer singing her own part, or by larger groups of anything up to singers - still singing in four parts.
Barbershoppers do more than just sing With colourful costumes and expressive visuals, we like nothing more than strutting our stuff for a wide range of audiences. Click on Join Us and Find Us tabs to discover how you can join or find a chorus near you. We would love to welcome you to our amazing organisation.

Cut this picture into you and me Burn it backwards, kill this history Make it over, make it stay away Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say There's a kid a floor below me saying "Brother, can you spare sunshine for a brother, Old Man Winter's in the air" Walked me up a story, asking how you are Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star Sweet Adeline Sweet Adeline My Clementine Sweet Adeline It's a picture-perfect evening and I'm staring down the sun Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head Or any situation where I'm better off than dead Edit Lyrics.
Sweet Adeline song meanings. Add Your Thoughts 44 Comments. General Comment Yeah, this song is musically crazy, especially the chorus Also, I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but the song is musically symmetrical: 2 verses, chorus, then the length of about two verses. The song is long I love this guy. No Replies Log in to reply. There was an error. General Comment From: sweetadeline. There was only country music.
I liked some things though, mainly Hank Williams. On my mother's side, everyone was a musician but no one made a living out of it. Although they were very good technically. My grandfather was a Dixieland jazz drummer, my grandmother sang standards like "Moon River.
MARY K. General Comment everyone has come up with many thoughtful and divergent interpretations of the first verse. OTOH the phrase "brother can you spare" is deliberately old-fashioned, and elliot may have intended to evoke images of depression-era hoboes.
General Comment Hee, my name's Adeline. Ade on May 06, Link. General Comment Man this song exemplifies how great Elliott really was. General Comment I've always thought this song was about a break up. Maybe I'm looking at this too simply, but maybe you guys are looking at it too deep. Or maybe the actions that caused the break up, make them into something you can understand, make yourself the good one if your actions led to it.
Love followed through would have made it last longer than it was going to. Hate says the ending of the love through something like, "I hate you, it's over, blah blah blah A kid just lives below him and is trying to make him smile. The kid's wise and poor and needs that small comfort from Smith to cheer both of them up. Establishing Smith as visably depressed.
