Lied van de week : week 38 - 2011

Someone like you - Adele

Het is eigenlijk pas dankzij de #queet-campagne van Studio Brussel dat ik deze week, onderweg van Antwerpen naar Brugge, goed luisterde naar de tekst van Someone like you van Adele, een nummer dat ik best wel goed vond, maar ook niet meer dan dat... En kijk, ik werd er door geraakt. Het is zulk een herkenbaar gevoel (uit het verleden), dat ik helemaal in het nummer gezogen werd.
Het helpt natuurlijk dat Adele mooi kan zingen, het een prachtige ballad is, maar het is de tekst die me over de streep haalde...

Je vindt het nummer op het album 21, dat je hier kan kopen.

Lyrics :

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 away, I couldn’t fight it
I'd 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, yeah

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised , in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight out
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, yeah

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
Don’t forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

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, yeah, yeah
