Last summer I listened to Adele a little bit more than I should have. I love Adele, but it couldn't be healthy to listen to anything that much. In my defense, it was refreshing to have actual talent on the radio. Then I heard "Someone Like You." That song gives me chills. You know it has real meaning behind it and wasn't just written for the radio. I usually don't try to bring up debates, but this was different. I had to know what everyone elses favorite Adele song was. And the answer had to be the same as mine or I was upset.
Annie was my roommate at the time and listened to "Make You Feel My Love" probably as much as I listened to my Adele obsession. What I thought: Good, but not an original and not as much feeling.
Our friend KC baby was loving "Rolling in the Deep." My thoughts: Good song. WAY overplayed. Too radioesque.
I just pretended they were wrong and I was right.
A few months later when "overplayed" was an understatement for my favorite Adele song, I thought about our debates. I was so sick of that song I couldn't listen to 3 seconds of it. I was happy that other people loved it too, but I needed a break from it. It was still obviously her best song. Then I thought back to the time of those debates. Let's talk about the lives of the 3 little girls involved.
Annie: In love. She and her (now) husband had been dating for a few months and they were both super giddy.
KC: Just ended things with a guy, but wasn't super sad about it because she has fellas lining up at her locker.
Me: Still not alright with how things ended with a guy I liked for an embarassing amount of time. Love sucks. fml. hahah but really... that's how I felt.
Then the realization that maybe what is going on in your life determines your favorite Adele song more than which song is actually the best.
But then again... I feel like I will always love "Someone Like You" the most. And I am not a little emo kid anymore, so take that! To my friends: Sorry that I am ALWAYS right. It must be hard.

Hahaha... do not include my giddiness in your blog.
I liked that song waaaaaaaaaay before I was giddy and in love.
But I didn't listen to it everyday when I blow dried my hair.
So maybe you're right.
And I'm wrong.
hmph.
