Seeing “Million Years Ago” in the bottom 5 hurts. I have a deep connection to this song; I relate every single lyric to my being trans and the journey of my transition. It means a lot to me

25 is one of those albums that I love every single song. So even the ones I ranked lower, I still very much enjoy.

LOL, I feel the opposite. 25 is my least favorite of all of Adele's albums, BUT there's not a huge gap between them as all of her albums sh*t on other people's discographies

I remember all of the things that I thought I wanted to be So desperate to find a way out of my world and finally breathe Right before my eyes, I saw that my heart, it came to life This ain't easy, it's not meant to be Every story has its scars
But when the pain cuts you deep When the night keeps you from sleeping Just look and you will see That I will be your remedy When the world seems so cruel And your heart makes you feel like a fool I promise you will see

Starting things off in the Top 10, we have the lovely “Remedy,” a beautiful song that was written from the perspective of a mother to her child. That was always clear from the moment this song first came out, and there’s no other interpretation in my mind for it. It made me sob when I heard it for the first time.

I gave you heaven on a platter baby I gave you everything you never gave me I never lied and I never faked it Only wanted for you to save me This love, it ain't over yet There's too much that I haven't said
Did you find the note that I wrote? I hid it in the seam of your coat It was hard to write with a lump in my throat

“Can’t Let Go” has always sounded like the bonus track from this album that would’ve been best at home on the standard edition, and I wish it was. Such a lovely song with an incredible vocal during the bridge.
I’m so glad to see this one escape the bottom 5! For a bonus track, I’ll take that as a huge accomplishment!

"Can't Let Go" definitely deserved better and is only out now because it isn't on the standard

I miss you when the lights go out It illuminates all of my doubts Pull me in, hold me tight Don't let go, baby, give me light I miss you when the lights go out It illuminates all of my doubts Pull me in, hold me tight Don't let go, baby, give me light
I love the way your body moves Towards me from across the room Brushing past my every groove No one has me like you do, baby Bring your heart, I'll bring my soul But be delicate with my ego I wanna step into your great unknown

Only Adele could manage to make a sex song sound sophisticated Why this was never on Fifty Shades Darker is kinda beyond me tbh.

"I Miss You" is so catchy and I really enjoy listening to this one. Do think this one deserved a little bit better.

I remember there being a time where I was actually quite obsessed with this song, lol! There’s just something about it, it has an atmosphere to it, that makes it an enjoyable listening experience all the time.

While I love the album I don't love it as much as 21.

You have given me something that I can't live without You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine The longer we ignore it, all the more that we will fight
Please, don't fall apart I can't face your breaking heart I'm trying to be brave Stop asking me to stay
I can't love you in the dark It feels like we're oceans apart There is so much space between us Baby, we're already defeated Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Everything changed me
We're not the only ones, I don't regret a thing Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean It is the world to me that you are in my life

"Remedy" just keeps rising and rising in my ranking. Such a simple, beautiful song.
The results aren't going as well as I hoped they would :(

So…this song means a LOT to me personally, for two reasons from two different times. 25 (and as such, this song) was still fresh when I nearly lost my mom to domestic violence so there are certain lines that have really stuck with me in that regard. Flash forward seven years after this album released, and I find myself relating this (like I find myself relating a lot of songs lately) to my transition, almost like saying to myself “Look, I’m thankful that you’ve been a healthy body but this isn’t what I belong in, and I’m done clinging to survival, so I’m going to be changing some things around here.” I think it’s the first time I’ve had a single song mean something to me for two completely different reasons, lmao

Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on And I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man made I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch But I know that's just me, 'cause nothing ever is enough When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea There was something in the water, now that something's in me Oh I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips

“River Lea” is another song from this album that I had a phase with. It used to be an obsession as well! I particularly love that pre-chorus where Adele reaches down into the lowest echelons of her range. Her lower register is so rich!

I think WWWY really has a shot here but I’d love to see an “All I Ask” upset.

I'm giving you up I've forgiven it all

Now that we’re in the Top 5, the #1s are going to drop all at once! alexcuse joins me in the losers circle, as I lost my #1 all the way at #11 with “Million Years Ago.” ”Send My Love” is such a bop, and it was so cool to hear a much poppier sound come from her at the time. I loved seeing it dominate the summer of 2016!

“All I Ask” was one of the songs I leaned on a lot during high school after falling in unrequited love lol. Lovely piano melody and Adele’s vocals soar beautifully to the rafters as usual. Also…key change.

So…our Top 3 songs whooped ass and then stayed on each other’s necks, with #3 beating out “All I Ask” by nearly 130 points!!! Our runner-up bested our bronze finisher by ONE POINT.
Let’s do this…
