Adele's newest album "25" is here and it is filled with the heartbreak and soul we've all come to love and expect from Adele. I, much like every other person, shed a few tears to this majestic album. If you haven't yet, it is best to listen to "25" while lying on your bed staring at the ceiling contemplating every aspect of your life that has led you to this moment.
Adele is one of the few artists I personally think actually deserves the fame and recognition she has gotten. No smoke and mirrors, this woman, as I'm sure you all know and are sick of hearing by now, is pure talent. If you, for some reason, don't have the time or just don't care to buy her album, I have summarized what it is like to listen to "25" for the first time. Enjoy.
1. "Hello" starts and even though you've heard it before on the radio, it still gets you.
"Hello from the outside / At least I can say that I’ve tried / To tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart / But it don’t matter; it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymore"
2. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover") starts immediately after, and you know right from the start it is a hit. Catchy, nice to listen to, and also filled with just the right amount of heartbreak and sass.
3. By the time "I Miss You" ends you are once again reminded of the talent this woman possesses.
4. "When We Were Young" starts and you already know it is going to be a heartbreaker.
"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"
At this point a single tear has streamed down your face.
5. "Remedy" has you shaking in the dark corner of your bedroom, rocking back and fourth, whispering to yourself "How does she know?"
6. At this point, you are making faces similar to this.
7. And this.
8. Especially this.
9. "Water Under the Bridge"? More like water under on my face from the sobbing I've been doing for the last 20 minutes. THANKS ADELE.
"If you’re not the one from me / Why do I hate the idea of being free? / If I’m not the one for you / You’ve gotta stop holding me the way you do / Oh and if I’m not the one for you / Why have we been through what we have been through?"
10. "River Lea" has you planking on the bathroom floor. Dry heaving may and probably will occur at this point.
11. If you're still alive by the time "Love in the Dark" comes on, congrats.
12. By this point you think you've run out of tears to shed.
13. But then "Million Years Ago" comes on and you just lose your shit.
"Its like Adele wrote this for me".
14. All I ask is that I make it through "All I Ask" without sending that depressing tweet.
15. "Sweetest Devotion", the last song. My dear, sweet Adele, you've done it again. This song hit me like an explosion.
*sacrifices first child to Adele so she continues to keep making music*
