February 4, 20169 yr Loved this since the album arrived. So many layers to it and so much context. She really is phenomenal.
February 4, 20169 yr ^ Same. It's always struck me how incredibly effective and evocative the 'You look like a movie/You sound like a song' parts are (especially followed by the realisation of 'My God...'), yet they're so simple and 'obvious'. Like, has that idea really not been used by anyone before?! In comes Adele in 2015 to claim it for herself and add it to her collection of deeply meaningful and universal messages, alongside her newly acquired greeting :lol:. She makes it all look so easy. That single cover is genius! Seems her new hairstyle's inspired by her childhood then. ^_^
February 4, 20169 yr s this going to be put on Spotify to try and bolster its single release? On Spotify AUS as a single. :)
February 5, 20169 yr Music video is coming soon - already added to a bunch of MTV playlists. I guess it'll debut Friday 12th to coincide with the performance at the BRITS on the 15th.

February 5, 20169 yr Author I'm so pleased this is seeing the light of day and getting a singles release. The theme would fit PERFECTLY with a performance at The BRITS given it'll have been five years since the iconic SLY performance :wub:
February 5, 20169 yr It's the Grammys on the 15th. The Brits are the following week! Oops sorry yes! Got them mixed up.
February 6, 20169 yr Had a random moment with this, you know when you have an epiphany with a song and it just hits you right in the face? :wub: So stunning, I agree that you notice so many layers of simplicity that make the emotion so effective.

I've always had this with the track... I sort of hate myself for it as I don't believe that it's actually about anything in particular, it's just a mix of loose metaphors and themes that enable the listener to implant their own emotions, relationships and memories into the track - which in itself is quite a clever song writing trick to be fair to her.

Yup, I had that moment a couple of nights ago to the point where it brought me to tears.
February 6, 20169 yr The video is out on Monday isn't it? Oh really :o I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but I hope it will be.
February 7, 20169 yr Author A lot of the "Adele updates" pages on Twitter/Instagram have been speculating the release will be Monday.
February 9, 20169 yr No video release then :( I don't think it will come until after the Grammys at least.
February 9, 20169 yr No video release then :( I don't think it will come until after the Grammys at least. Or this friday for a full week of impact, including performances at the grammys and Ellen (I think Ellen is the same week as the grammys?). Would maximise her streaming/sales for the week and give her a chance at #1 on the Hot 100 if they do. :D
February 15, 20169 yr Has anyone else seen reports that there won't be a Grammy performance of this after all? According to this source she's performing All I Ask tonight instead. I won't believe it just yet, I like both but was hoping for When We Were Young :(
February 15, 20169 yr I hope that's not true. She's sabotaging her own chance to have another #1 single! :(
