Feb 23rd - Adam does an interview with Finnish magazine, Me Naiset. He talks a lot about Sauli and finding true love.
Translation via @moominbert http://www.twitlonger.com/show/g2rdsh Adam's comments are in bold.
Until a couple of years ago, Adam described himself as someone who likes to flirt and date. Meeting Sauli Koskinen over a year ago in Helsinki changed him.
I'm totally faithful, monogamous. A relationship is a beautiful thing. I believe we both want the same thing. I was ready for true love and I'm happy to have found it.
Last year the couple spent Valentine's Day in Tahiti, this year Adam is traveling promoting his new album.
Sauli is welcome to join me whenever it's possible. I always try to arrange something nice for special occasions.
They spend most of their time at their home in the Hollywood Hills.
We did yoga for a while but it's not really our thing. We'd rather go for walks or jogging, and we have a treadmill at home. We watch tv and movies and cook together. We have a lot of salmiakki (salty licorice) at home, but I don't care for it. Other than that, I like Finnish food and culture.
Adam is also familiar with Finnish drinks from his vacation in Finland over last Christmas. One drunken night in Helsinki made headlines around the world. In the small hours, Adam was taken into custody in Pasila and Sauli in Töölö.
It was a perfect holiday, apart from one mistake, a night out where the strong mint schnapps tasted too good and resulted in a loss of control.
They worked through the incident right after it happened.
We laughed about it, right after we'd gotten over the initial shock and made sure no one was hurt. Sauli's family made fun of me, too - ”oh, you went to jail for getting drunk. Welcome to Finland!”
Adam says things happen in life and you learn from your mistakes.
We talked more about what happened after we got home. Time helped put it into perspective. I understood that I have responsibilities to myself, my loved ones, my family, my friends and my fans. That December night was childish, out-of-control and irresponsible. I have to take more responsibility for my actions in future and be more careful around alcohol.
When Adam talks about the good things on his visit to Finland, his face lights up in a wide, genuine smile and his voice rises in enthusiasm. The reason for visiting Finland, meeting Sauli's family, was a success.
It was important to both of us that I get to know Sauli's family. We had a lovely, traditional Christmas Eve at his parents' home. His mom, dad and sisters were nice. I followed things from the sidelines at times, because the main language of the evening was Finnish. But it was only fair, since Sauli has been in the same position in Los Angeles.
Adam has had to resort to body language before. When he was 19, he performed on a cruise ship with the Anita Mann group. The gig lasted ten months, and during that time, he also visited Finland for the first time.
Sometimes not sharing a language is challenging, frustrating and confusing, but there's a magic to body language. And it's often more honest than repeating learned phrases.
His love for Sauli show in the lyrics on his new album, Trespassing.
I'm also a romantic, that's my light side. I've written songs about love – about finding the right one, which has now happened to me.
Sometimes Adam feels like he can't live without his other half.
He keeps me grounded, even when I'm flying too high. Sometimes it seems like he knows me better than I know myself.
