someone like you


I know I talk a lot about music and recently it has been about my Arcade Fire obsession but now I must change the channel and express another music love. ADELE. She is by far way too talented to be from this world. Her current album 21 reaches into the depths of my soul and makes me feel the music rather than just hear it. Too much?? Seriously though, her bluesy voice with these songs just makes me want to grab a bag of chocolates and a box of kleenex and sit in my own love self pity. Her song Someone Like You brings this buried emotion out in me because I know it'll be my story down the line. I have this really good guy friend. We have insane chemistry and we just click. Both of us have gone back and forth with being in love and out of love with one another and we constantly get into fights for not paying enough attention to each other. Its a drama in my life that I always want gone but whenever I don't see him I feel somewhat empty. While listening to that song, listening to the regret and trying to fix it after he's moved on ... that will be me. Well maybe. This could just be my dramatic side coming out to play but I just love that song. I'm sure we will all relate to it at some point or another. Overall the entire album is riddled with slow and fast paced songs. I love Rumour Has It, its really catchy and in your face. I'll be Waiting is another favourite. I really just like love songs or relationship songs. I love songs bashing those stupid boys that didn't treat you right. The best part about Adele is that she does it without being Taylor Swift or Avril Lavigne. Don't get me wrong, I have huge respect for those artists but Adele is different. Her voice could out sing so many young artists and the lyrics are more mature. They seem to speak to adult emotion, rather than teeny bopper "first love" songs. She is on repeat and honest to God it is the best music to sing along to.
