Remember how good Adele used to be? Remember before she got all big and commercial and monopolised Radio One's playlist for so long that you started to resent how good her voice is? Well, Adele and her beautiful voice, that sang us (and High Contrast) something as lovely as Hometown Glory are back. Here's her new single, Someone Like You, sung on Jools Holland's last Late and Live show of the year.
Pure, resonant beauty.
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.
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited,
But I couldn't stay way, I couldn't fight it.
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over...
Never mind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead."
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead...
You'd know how the time flies.
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited,
But I couldn't stay way, I couldn't fight it.
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over...
Never mind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead."
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.
Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead."
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.
