If You know me and know me well, then you should know one thing about me first and foremost! I Absolutely Love music of all types of this and that. From Country to Folk...From Kesha to Liza..to Dolly i like a little of it all. Some for more entertainment purposes than others...these i call the "Dance Effect" nothing really deep but fun and light aka Britney, Katy Perry, Madonna shit like that.
But Someone who i consider a true artist and talent beyond all measure is Adele...i cannot stress how much i admire and love this woman...her music just does something every line and time i have heard it. It speaks to me in ways i cannot fathom.
A little funny story for you...my appreciation for her was not instant on the contrary i first heard her around the time her first song came out...Not knowing the song was called "Chasing Pavements" i had been riding in the car when it came over the radio. I remember thinking this isn't bad she has a good voice...and was getting into the song when i guess my ears weren't working very well....because all i heard was "Should I Give Up Or Should I Just Keep Chasing Penguins Even if they lead nowhere". i turned to my friend and asked "Why in the hell would anyone want to chase penguins?????? That's just silly." And went about my way...
It really wasn't until i heard "Hometown Glory" that i REALLY UNDERSTOOD her lyrical depth and what it takes to truely captivate me in a way that will stick with me...if i am to analyze my top 5 songs it will explain to you in detail more about myself which i intend to do in a little lesson i call "Adele-onics 101" Class get your pen and paper out please...and away we go...
1.Don't You Remember- Not only one of the most Vocally challenging songs i have ever heard...but lyrically i mean you cannot top this....who hasn't felt the regret, the pain of losing someone who you messed up with and wondering if you will ever see them again...i mean the lines that say "Don't you remember, the reason you loved me before, baby please remember me once more..." if you have NO soul i understand why you wouldn't like this but for me it is my All Time Favorite by her.
2.Hometown Glory- Coming from a small town and back again...i love this song its about community pride and the piano is just superb
3.He Won't Go- it's about taking a chance to make something work because neither party is willing to leave....simple short and sweet
4. Turning Tables- THIS ONE...speaks soo near my heart...anyone who has had a bad breakup where someone tries to convince you that you are always wrong this song is a source of strength, knowing you will be ok...and again heavy,string and piano....
5. Fire To The Rain- This song is amazing..someone who is ending a relationship from feeling that the person was not being honest with them...that's really all i have to say on that one.
So...why Adele over so many artists? Artists to me have to inspire something..i could just have easily picked Kelly Clarkson, Tori Amos,Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, or Melissa Etheridge..these are all artists to me...because they each say something.
I now and forever am a man about lyrics...and words...do they speak to me how do they relate....this is the force that drives me every day to play a little bit of Adele mainly cause she gives me so much hope through her music.
I pray she is around for years and that genarations later we will have more songs like the five i just shared with you...for she is an artist in the world of auto-tune bullshit
Till next post
