Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988 in Enfield, North London. Known these days simply as Adele, she sings one of my current very favorite songs called Rolling In The Deep. It's catchy . . . so catchy that lots of other artists have scrambled to cover it. This is her version:
Pretty cool, huh? It's interesting to compare the various spins. For instance, this is John Legend's take:
Linkin Park's is excellent . . .
Patti Smith's is horrid. Listen here.
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger looks great in her silver dress but she's no Adele.
The lyrics are powerful, and a voice like Adele's is necessary to deliver them. It's reminded me of the (now late) Amy Winehouse's from Day One: throaty, lusty, deep and soulful.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.
See how I'll leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
The scars of your love, remind me of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it
To the beat
Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love, remind you of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it
To the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it
With a beating
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it,
You played it,
You played it
You played it to the beat
She co-wrote the song with Paul Epworth. When you start out this splashy, it's hard to follow up. Here's hoping Adele keeps her head about her and doesn't tread the path Miss Winehouse chose.
She is one talented lady.
