Like much of Taylor and Beyonce’s musical musings, Adele’s “Someone Like You” is most appreciated whilst single. (Or if you ended up with your second option. That’s not a joke, it happens and I feel bad for those people.) I have to admit, Adele has guts, showing up after he’s married. Who does that? I feel like that would not end well. I can picture his response going something like this:
Whether you have literally been in her situation, a tamer form of unrequited love (see Taylor Swift), had a bad day, or just need to eat a lot of ice cream, listen to Adele. Chances are if any of the above mentioned situations apply to you, there’s a higher probability you aren’t in a relationship. And that you’ve cried to the song and screamed “That’s me!” during the recent SNL skit. As my bff put it recently:
It’s like facebook stalking, we’ve all done it. The only difference is that single people do it on the reg.
Note: I haven’t actually cried while listening to this song. Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb”, however, is a different situation. True story. And it wasn’t even over a guy, just graduation. I’m as tough as nails, can’t you tell?
Shirtless guy opens door.
Guy: “What are you doing here?”
Adele: “I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded, for me it isn’t over.”
Guy: “Clearly. I’m MARRIED. Sorry I’m not sorry, home wrecker.”
Girl in background: “Who is it, sweetie?”
Guy: “[to wife] Stage 5 clinger I told you about! [to Adele] uhh sorry, how’s the singer stuff going?”
Adele: “I have a great idea for a number one.”
Guy: “Yeah, okay. Good luck with that.”
End Scene.
Guy gets divorced and every time Adele is played on the radio a baby is born, crying.

Cuss.
"someone like you" just came on in this coffee shop.
and it's gotten unnaturally quiet...
someone somewhere is crying to that song.

Hmmm. I wonder if people would find the album version of live version(s) more tear-causing.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds the same, that woman doesn't have to be auto-tuned. It gives you just as many chills, if not more, live as it does on the album.
DeleteI cry over songs, too. But luckily I don't have to sob over Adele. But I love her music.
