Now I usually just do a Twitter post about these. But every once in awhile, especially today, I think I'm going to write out a post. Partly this is taken from my buddy, Michael Ryne's, blog and partly from me doing little intro/reviews of songs and albums from my This Week In Music posts. Anywho here's the song.
Adele- "Someone Like You"
The background of this song is obviously heartbreak, and Adele having a rough break-up with her then boyfriend. Now this strikes a HUGE cord with me, not because of the break-up aspect. Cause God forbid a girl ever likes me enough to want me. But that's beside the point. It's just pure beauty to me, even with all the sorrow. Adele is pouring her heart and soul out into this. Her voice is beautiful, real, crisp, and heart-piercing. The piano is amazing and I just love this track. As you all know dad passed away two Saturday's ago, so I'm really identifying with sadness right now. Even before though, just the line "Don't forget me, I beg, I'll remember you said", is such a powerful reminder of people in your life coming and going. People have left my life, come back, and even passed away in the last year of my life. It's been though on me. Emotionally more than physically, though I'd never show the emotion. I don't want anyone to have to "beg" to be remembered, nor should anyone have to. I've posted this a lot as my song of the day on Twitter, and even in my last music blog. But after the burial today, driving my mom and aunt home, and turning on the radio and having this be the first song I hear. It just hit me. My life is sorrow now. Lies I've told, things I've done, things done to me, lies told to me, things that've happened to me, etc. Sorrow has been here for awhile now. Sure I can look for the brighter side, and I'll continue to do that. But in the back of my mind, the sorrow seed has spread. Maybe the seeds will wither, but I can't be sure of that. Only time will tell.
