Adele first came onto everyone’s radar in 2008 with the release of her debut studio album, 19. Popular singles from that album include “Make You Feel My Love” and “Chasing Pavements”. Her powerful voice and beautiful lyrics are instantly recognizable and will send anyone within earshot into their ‘feels’ immediately. It’s not a surprise that this talented Grammy-winning artist won over the hearts of so many people with her soulful ballads and bluesy pop songs. She's like a magician. She has the ability to turn your happy thoughts into a deep reflective self-analysis and you may start questioning the motives of your current or past significant others. So, without further adieu..
Here are some thoughts you may have while jamming out to Adele:
1. No one will ever love me.
This startling realization is just one of the many ways Adele smacks you with the truth. It’s okay. You can always adopt a bunch of cats or something.
2. Nevermind, I’ll find someone like you.
Okay, so I was totally kidding about being a cat lady forever. Adele gives me a sense of hope, if only for a moment. There’s someone out there that’s just like your ex – except infinitely better!
3. How can I set fire to the rain?
Adele, how did you manage to do this? I want to know. I think this might just be proof that Adele is a wizard.
4. We’ve could’ve had it all.
You try and hold on to whatever remains of the relationship. It didn’t have to end this way, babe!!!
5. Wait no, why did I ever date you?
You start browsing through Facebook and stumble across photos of exes or see a past flame in your contacts and you almost vomit. What were you thinking? Why didn’t your friends tell you that the person you once desired looks like a sewer rat?
6. I’m so single it hurts.
Adele has this kind of effect. You start thinking about how dry your phone is, how you haven’t been on a date in years, and that you will remain in this state of solidarity for the rest of eternity.
7. I wonder if that one person I made eye contact with 5 years ago still remembers me.
In all honesty, that ‘person’ you’re thinking about probably doesn’t know you exist. Thanks Adele.
8. Should I give up? Or…
It’s time to give up on love. Give up on work. Give up on school. I’m just going to become a hermit. A lonesome hermit.
9. My poor little heart.
Listening to Adele makes you feel really bad for yourself. You should go eat a pint of Ben and Jerry’s. After all, you endured all that heartbreak and emotional torture. What did you do to deserve this pain and suffering?
10. I’m a pathetic excuse for a human being.
Adele can reduce you to a pile of tears. It’s the price you pay to listen to an angel sing about forgiveness, despair, and heartache.
11. If Adele can call 1000 times, it’s fine if when I do it, right?
Hello! How are you? I miss you and I’m drunk and thought it was okay to blow up your phone. When you are accused of stalking just blame Adele. If she has done it, it’s ok.
I've warned you. Only listen to Adele if your ready to be fully immersed in your deepest and darkest feelings.
