    Adele - chasing pavements is phenomenal

    I’m listening right now as I’m typing. Caught my eye because my little sister (who was a rolling stone, always traveling and living all over the U.S) This was one of her favorite songs. She passed from an accidental overdose during the pandemic. She was running from and searching for something simultaneously. The HAPPIEST sad person I ever knew and I miss her so much. When I hear this song it hits different now.

      I don't think they'd like it, unfortunately. "All I Ask" is, intentionally according to Adele, one of the loudest and most overly dramatic songs in her discography and they stated that those are the reasons they generally don't enjoy her music.

    Londoner here! Funny enough this song may not be hiphip/rap but it did actually have a huge influence on the UK rap scene. A lot of UK rappers based in London sampled this song. Adele is singing about her hometown London, so you can only imagine the amount of London rappers who did their own spin of the song 😅

    "Daydreamer" the opening track may be more Dad's taste, There are some really beautifully stripped back songs on that album where the lyrics are paramount and delivery second. Her cover of "Make You Feel My Love" is noteworthy. For me Adele's 19 was the first album where I learned how to sing every song and know the lyrics to this day, because it hit right at a time in my life where I was exploring music on my own and trying to find new things to listen to and it spoke to me. The song that gets me emotionally is "Million Years Ago" from 25.

    Apparently 'Hometown Glory' was what she called a 'breakthrough' in her songwriting. It's about London, and was inspired when she came back from a protest against the war in Iraq (hence the political lyrics in parts). Truly amazing song.

    1). Chasing Pavements
    2). Turning Tables
    3). Make You Feel My Love, which would definitely tug on your dad's heartstrings for sure, trust me.
    4). One And Only
    Just to name a few for next time. Also, for you and your dad's next video, can y'all listen to Ed Sheerans albums, please? I have a really great recommendation for a cover song Mashup of one of Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith songs as well if you guys are interested!

    This performance is phenomenal not to be missed
