"When We Were Young" is like a first dance and last goodbye wrapped all into one. It just feels timeless.

I'm a songwriter as well, and I always think it's funny when people criticize lyrics as being "hallmark" or "shmaltzy" because I guarantee you those are the most honest and emotional lyrics to the person who wrote that song. Heh, in fact, I just heard an Adele interview where she says the very lines criticized as "basic" here are her favorites on the song, so. https%3A//soundcloud.com/siriusxmmusic/adele-town-hall-on-writting-when-we-were-young

So many emotions are captured in this one song. I feel like your mid twenties are when you realize how quickly time really flies and it upsets you because you can't recapture that time. This song puts that feeling into words so poetically. Then you add these vocals...Amazing.

I'm resisting the snippets for now. I want to savor this thing when I hear it in full.

I have to wait to listen to them, until I get back from doing my actual job. Lol
Edit: "Water Under the Bridge." Holy shit, I am in love.

The vocals on these new songs are INCREDIBLE. It's like she's unlocked a new dimension in her voice.

It definitely sounds beefier than 21 in terms of production.

My early favorites sound like they'll be Remedy and Water Under the Bridge.
Million Years Ago sounds like Phantom of the Opera no?

"Water Under the Bridge" - Take everything from me; take my hairline, my wallet, my car, my soul, everything dammit. I'm not listening to any of the other snippets because I'm content with this one.

"When We Were Young" is like a first dance and last goodbye wrapped all into one. It just feels timeless. This. Inspired my track review: It is the emulsion of a first dance and a last goodbye all at once. When We Were Young radiates the song that you've felt in your heart for years, but wasn't written until now. While sounding like a classic you've spent your life being deprived of, you know it must be contemporary because it's better than every love reminiscent song before it.

As of now I say the singles should go like this:
Hello When we were young Send my love (summer) Water under the bridge

Send my love the only song that did anything for me. I just can't get into her, as talented as she is.

This album has a strong R&B undertone, which I didn't expect. I could see a lot of R&B artists from 90s singing these songs. I really like it, a nice surprise. I could see me enjoying this one more than 21 because I didn't care for the churchy feels of 21.

Sitting in my car at lunch playing these snippets. No longer hungry, just nostalgic and heartbroken. Incredible. This and Storyteller will be on repeat for a loooooooooooong time.

"When We Were Young"'s studio version is just beautiful. I don't even know how to wrap my head around it.
