October 23, 20159 yr I don't think the criticism of the song is at all unfounded, it's definitely quite marmite: you'll either really be drawn to the emotion or just find it dull and non-eventful. I personally love it, although I think I'll have to turn it over if I start hearing it too much on the radio because I don't want the emotion to disappear. Less is certainly more. oh it's as good as gone :')
October 23, 20159 yr oh it's as good as gone :') Great thing about Adele is the emotion in that powerhouse voice, unlike Beyonce who has none in hers. You could not understand English and still hear thw emotion, unlike fake emotion screeeeching and banshee wailing from you know who and others trying to copy.
October 23, 20159 yr Author I can totally relate to this and the chorus is f***ing sensational. Sold on first listen :wub:
October 23, 20159 yr Listened to this half expecting to be completely disappointed (as it's a BIT hard to live up to the ridiculous amount of hype). I don't think it's quite the moment that the '21' singles were, but it is an excellent comeback nonetheless, it does the job it needed to do with that killer of a chorus. Welcome back Adele <3 My first thought was the verses remind me a bit of... 'tell me' by ØRKA. As in that obscure D'yermak'er DNQ in the last BJSC I hosted. High praise x
October 23, 20159 yr I agree that it's nothing new from her, but it still doesn't sound stale, it just has her trademark sound, which clearly ain't broke, so doesn't need fixing atm. I'd actually say it's a lot better than Someone Like You and Rolling In The Deep, which I was never a massive fan of personally and that chorus is powerful as hell. I'm not even massive on her style of music, but even I can't deny that's how you do it. Sam Smith/Emeli Sande need to take notes x In conclusion, welcome back Godele http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/310230f4.gif
October 23, 20159 yr I hadn't thought of the "letter to her younger self" interpretation but it totally makes sense. It's vague enough to be addressed to anyone I suppose but it fits within the alleged overarching theme of the album. (And it makes the song more interesting imo!)
October 23, 20159 yr Just put this full blast on the speakers and OH MY. This is so outstanding :cry:
October 23, 20159 yr I can't speak for certain but I don't know if I've ever teared up at a song I've never heard before. Usually, you need a listen of a song to come out of it and go "wow, that was incredible" and then once you're used to it, know the lyrical content etc, you start to feel the emotions on a level you can connect with. But, I was genuinely just bowled over by the power, emotion and the general feel of the song. I think the people saying "she's overrated, therefore this song is overrated" are just as guilty of pre-empting a feeling towards a track than the ones who are following the hype. That chorus IS undeniable and I can actually see the Sia connection people are making, I imagine this is similar to how people felt when they first heard Chandelier, and I'd have felt the same if I could tolerate her voice, but yes, that sheer wave of emotion that smashes into you from that first chorus is sublime.
October 23, 20159 yr Author I thought Sia for the chorus too, I do love chandelier but I agree this is so much more emotional and completely clear voiced, but so powerful. What a woman :wub: The reason she is rated so much is because she's an incredible talent who desevres it all.
October 23, 20159 yr I was all prepared to criticise this for being boring, and up until the first chorus that's exactly where I was going. There's definite power in that voice though and that makes the chorus pretty exciting. I can tell I won't want to listen to this loads of times so I'll keep away from hearing it on the radio, but that's far more of an interesting ballad than Someone Like You ever was. Gives me some of the same feelings that a slower Rolling In The Deep would. So all in all, a good comeback.
October 23, 20159 yr Absolutely amazing and fantastic :heart: Adele's vocals are stunning and the chorus is exceptional :wub:
October 23, 20159 yr I really love this song a lot. I feel like I'm connecting to something in the lyrics more than I never did with 21. It's a song about the overwhelming feelings of nostalgia, that I can personally relate to. In fact, this is already my second favourite Adele after 'Hometown Glory'. 'So hello from the other side' :cry: Edited October 23, 20159 yr by Joecula
October 23, 20159 yr This is spectacular. This says it all really. For me it's her best (of course all her others suffer from being overplayed to death) but yeah, stunning.
October 23, 20159 yr me wait in for my call http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01471/SNN1612B--532_1471654a.jpg

October 23, 20159 yr FANTASTIC. For me it's nowhere near as good as of a lead in comparison to Rolling In The Deep, but this song is incredible. Absolute perfection. I THINK I'm ready for 25 now :wub:
