"I Wanna Be Adored" was the atmospheric opener to The Stone Roses self-titled debut. The song is propelled by Mani's recognisable bass line, John Squire's droning guitars and Reni keeping the beat of the song Ian Brown's hushed ominous vocals, repeating only a few lines of lyrics throughout the entire song.

Famous quotes containing the words wanna and/or adored:
“And you’re too fired up to go to sleep, you sit at the kitchen table. It’s really late, it’s really quiet, you’re tired. Don’t wanna go to bed, though. Going to bed means this was the day. This Feb. 12, this Aug. 3, this Nov. 20 is over and you’re tired and you made some money but it didn’t happen, nothing happened. You got through it and a whole day of your life is over. And all it is—is time to go to bed.”
—Claudia Shear, U.S. author. New York Times, p. A21 (September 29, 1993)
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
