Then the volume quickly drops after “instead,” with the “yeah, yeah, yeah” the song fades to just the soft piano melody. As both vocals and piano become the loudest it has been in entire song. Finally the entire chorus lyrics gets repeated again, and the piano goes back to the original main bass melody. Then at 3:37, the piano returns to playing the melody from the previous verse. The tone of Adele’s voice returns to how she opened the song. The piano starts to just play the individual notes instead of chords on the downbeat of each measure. Then in the third chorus at 3:21, everything slows down and the piano begins to change. In the third verse, a backup vocal is introduced and accompany Adele until right before the chorus, but Adele and the backup don’t stay in unison through the whole verse. Also, unlike chorus one, it is not repeated a second time. At the end of chorus two, the line “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead” stays in the same octave as the rest of the chorus, where in chorus one she jumped up an octave when she sang that line. The chorus this time is also not the same as the first one. In verse two, it repeats the same dynamics, timbre, tempo, and chords as verse one opened with, but towards the end of the verse at 2:19, the tempo picks up until the chorus at 2:37. The biggest change is Adele’s voice, as she singing at higher pitch and the tone of her voice goes from soft and sad to angry and sharp. Also, I believe the tempo speeds up a little as well. However as she keeps going, the intensity builds, the piano and her voice both gets louder, until it fades at 1:11 to give the indication that the verse is ending and the chorus is about to begin.Īs soon as the chorus begins, the dynamics pick up again. Adele starts off with very low pitches and a soft timbre. lyrics: i heard, that youre settled down that you found a girl and youre, married now i heard, that your dreams came true i guess she gave you things i didnt give to you old friend, why are you. You can hear the main bass piano melody, of three different notes, the fourth and second being the same pitch, clearly in the opening until Adele’s voice come is at 0:14 and the piano becomes the accompaniment. The rhythm is provided by the piano playing in a major key, even though it is a somber song. This song only consists of a piano, a lead voice (Adele), and backup voices. “Someone Like You” is in duple meter, with four beats per measure. 5.Following the professor’s example, I picked a chart topper as well. In the slow song, Adele shamelessly and achingly begs for her lover to return, 'When was the last time you thought of me?/ Or have you completely erased me from your memory?/ I often think about where I went wrong/ The more I do, the less I know,' according to Genius. 'Don't You Remember' is an indulgence for the hopelessly heartbroken. In the chorus, Adele sings, 'To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done/ But when I call you never seem to be home/ 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,' according to Genius. Although Adele has insisted that the song is about her own personal growth, fans still take liberty on applying it to the disappointment of not being over a fallen relationship. 'Rolling in the Deep'Ģ5 single 'Hello' was history-making, as fans fell in love with the sad and honest lyrics of Adele seemingly addressing a former lover.

'When you hear that song, it's the worst kind of emotionally destructive indulgence, like you're rubbing salt into a wound, but you can't stop because the song creates this emotional bridging,' Bridgewater wrote for the Guardian. In the beginning of the song she sings, 'I heard that you're settled down/ That you found a girl and you're married now/ I heard that your dreams came true/ Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you/ Old friend, why are you so shy?/ Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,' according to Genius. In 'Someone Like You,' Adele describes the difficult but relatable one-who-got-away scenario. Grab a box of tissues, because is a complete list of the Adele songs to help overcome and sooth the woes of heartbreak. On those albums, she produced songs like the the angry 'Set Fire To The Rain' and the solemn 'Someone Like You.' Still, many of 25's songs, like the emotional 'Hello' - which she has said is about herself - resonated with people and their broken hearts. 'My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one, I would call it a make-up record,' Adele wrote in a letter to fans in October, regarding her newest album 25, which broke multiple records, according to E! Online. 'I'm making up with myself.' Adele's 21 album from 2012 spent 232 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No.
