On Dec. 23, "Adele Live in New York City" premiered on NBC. Now I know I am not the only who tuned in to watch this, prepared with ice cream and tissues... Adele is one of those artists that her voice, as well as her lyrics truly move you. I am a huge fan of all of Adele's work. It was this live performance* recorded on Nov. 17, 2015 but aired on the later date, that inspired me to look into some of her lyrics from her new album, "25." I have picked 13 of what I consider to be the most sad and impacting lyrics from her album. Do you agree?
1. "I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fade." --"River Lea"
No Adele, you are more than just your shadow!
2. "It matters how this ends 'cause what if I never love again?" --"All I Ask"
And now I am sitting here thinking about every breakup I’ve ever had…what if I am truly #foreveralone.
3. "I want to live and not just survive." --"Love In The Dark"
The fact that Adele acknowledges that there is a difference between living and just surviving...
same girl, same
4. "Consider this my apology. I know it's years in advance, but I'd rather say it now in case I never get the chance." --"River Lea"
Yes, I am going to make mistakes, and I am terrified I will never be able to fix them…Adele gets me.
5. "Every story has its scars." --"The Remedy"
Not a single person is perfect and we need to accept that.
6. "I miss it when life was a party to be thrown, but that was a million years ago." --"Million Years Ago"
Can I just have all play and no work?
7. "Hello from the other side. I must've called a thousand times. To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done. But when I call you never seem to be home." --"Hello"
Why wouldn’t you answer Adele?
8. "When the pain cuts you deep, when the night keeps you from sleeping. Just look and you will see, that I will be your remedy." --"Remedy"
This is just perfect…
9. "But if by chance you're here alone, can I have a moment, before I go? Cause I've been by myself all night long, hoping you're someone I used to know." --"When We Were Young"
Don’t we all miss that person we use to know? Maybe I should give them a call…
10. "I know I'm not the only one, who regrets the things they've done. Sometimes I just feel it's only me. Who never became who they thought they'd be." --"Million Years Ago"
It is definitely not just you Adele, we all have bigger dreams than this world allows for.
11. "If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently. Don't pretend that you don't want me. Our love ain't water under the bridge." --"Water Under The Bridge"
Sometimes burned bridges offer great opportunities…
12. "Maybe we're already defeated." --"Love In The Dark"
…Grabs a tissue to wipe the tears…
13. "They say that time's supposed to heal you, but I ain't done much healing." --"Hello"
Well this one hits you hard…
