Adam Clayton
Adam Charles Clayton (born 13 March 1960) is an English-born Irish musician best known as the bass guitarist of the Irish rock band U2. He has resided in County Dublin since the time his family moved to Malahide when he was five years old in 1965. Clayton is well known for his bass playing on songs such as "Gloria", "New Year's Day", "Bullet the Blue Sky", "With or Without You", "Mysterious Ways", "Get on Your Boots", and "Magnificent". His work on No Line on the Horizon has been cited as his best bass playing. He has worked on several solo projects throughout his career, such as his work with fellow band member Larry Mullen, Jr. on the theme of 1996's Mission: Impossible. Clayton, as a part of U2, has won 22 Grammy awards.
Early life
Adam Charles Clayton is the oldest child of Brian and Jo Clayton, born on 13 March 1960 in Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England. His father was a pilot with the Royal Air Force, who moved into civil aviation, and his mother was a former airline stewardess. When Clayton was 4 years old his father worked in Kenya as a pilot with East African Airways, the family being resident in Nairobi (Clayton regards this as the happiest period of his childhood). In 1965 the family moved to Malahide, County Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, where Clayton's brother Sebastian was born. The Clayton family became friends with the Evans family (including their son David Evans, who would later become a fellow band-member with Clayton in U2).

Adam (given name)
Adam is a common masculine given name.
The personal name Adam derives from the Hebrew noun ha adamah meaning "the ground" or "earth". It is still a Hebrew given name, and its Quranic and Biblical usage has ensured that it is also a common name in all countries which draw on these traditions. It is particularly common in Christian- and Muslim-majority countries. In most languages its spelling is the same, although the pronunciation varies somewhat. Adán is the Spanish form of this name.
Adam is also a surname in many countries, although it is not as common in English as its derivative Adams (sometimes spelled Addams). In other languages there are similar surnames derived from Adam, such as Adamo, Adamov, Adamowicz, Adamski etc.
In Arabic, Adam (آدم) means "made from the earth/mud/clay".

Adam (Ravenloft)
Adam is a fictional character; from the Ravenloft campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Publication history
Adam was a major character in the 1994 novel, Mordenheim, written by Chet Williamson.
Fictional character biography
Adam is the darklord of Lamordia. Known as Mordenheim's Monster or the Creature, he is an extremely intelligent and nimble dread flesh golem, based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Adam is the most successful creation of Dr. Victor Mordenheim in his research into the creation of life, albeit the one that causes him grief unmeasured. Adam reduced the doctor's wife Elise to a vegetative state and apparently murdered their adopted daughter Eva.
The two are inextricably bound together: Dr. Mordenheim has Adam's immortality, and in return Adam shares the doctor's anguish.
Usually hidden from sight, Adam is believed to spend most of his time on the Isle of Agony, part of the archipelago known as the Finger.

In Too Deep
by: Jon B.Are you ready for love
Ohh girl
I don't know what you been through
Can't imagine the pain boo
Whatever it is
It's all over now
Was it waves crashin' over
Like the sand on a shore
I got so close to someone
Just like you but I had to let them go
Cause your heart is way to precious
One would still look a treasure
Getting you places
Where your mind only find who's close
Now we're both getting older
As our lives start to show us
Playing around with our love just might do
Cause you know I'm waiting
Cause lately
I've been gettin' too deep girl
I can't get no sleep 'til
I get closer
To you, hey girl
Hey girl
My love is talkin' to you
You can come and see me
My love is too deep
I don't know what you been through
But I know that we sinkin'
Can you feel the water
I imagine the bath 'bout to over flow
When your mind starts to wonder
I'm a take it a little further
Where you think I might not likely go
But you know
It's on tonight (it's on tonight)
You just relax youself (You just relax youself girl)
It's on tonight (it's on tonight)
You just relax alone (You just relax alone)
Cause lately
I've been gettin' too deep girl
I can't get no sleep 'til
I get closer to you, (closer to you baby)
Hey girl
My love is talkin' to you (it's talkin...)
You can come and see me
My love is too deep(too deep)
We can go all night long
All night long
I just wanna chill
Wantin' you come home (wantin you come on)
Baby I just wanna see
If you been feelin as lonely as me
All dreams comes true
All I got is people
All I need is you (all I need is you)
Ooh we will have a good time
This is for all the times you cried
Cause lately
I've been gettin' too deep girl
I can't get no sleep 'til
I get closer to you, (do you feel me, do you feel me feel you)
Hey girl
My love is talkin' to you (your love is talkin to me)
You can come and see me
My love is too deep(love's too deep)
Goes all night
All night long
I just wanna chill
Wantin' you to come home (wantin you come home)
Baby I just wanna see
If you been feelin as lonely as me
All dreams comes true
All I got is people
All I need is you (all I need is you)
Ooh we will have a good time (we gonna have a good time)
This is for all the times you cried
All the times you cried girl
I am gonna make it up tonight girl yea
Yea, ooh yea
All the times you cried girl
