Why do I like so much "Someone like you" by Adele

Ultimul single a lui Adele "Someone like you" iti taie rasufrarea - o melodie trista si totusi atat de frumoasa. Cei care au iubit si viata i-a despartit de persoana iubita inteleg cel mai bine acest cantec. Greu este sa accepti faptul ca "nu vom mai fi niciodata impreuna" si ca timpul nu se poate reintoarce. Poate este adevarata afirmatia "ceea ce nu a fost spus la timp nu mai poate fi spus niciodata" (O.Paler).




Videoclipul a fost filmat filmat in Paris, la orele 4-5 ale diminetii, regizorul a ales sa filmeze  alb negru pentru ca intreaga atentie sa se concentreze pe trairile emotionale ale Adelei, a incercat, cu alte cuvinte, sa surprinda freamatul sufletului. In imaginile filmate o vedem pe Adele care se plimba singura de-a lungul Senei cantand in timp ce vantul flutura crengile copacilor si misca frunzele cazute pe jos. In acest decor Adele canta, si simtim in vocea ei, vedem in gesturi si citim in privire o mare intensitate emotionala. 
Tristetea videoclipului captiveaza. 

Adele spune despre acest cantec: I'm never gonna write a song like that again.I think that's the song I'll be known for - si chiar a devenit prima cantareata solo britanica care a intrat in Billboard Hot 100 cu "Someone like you". 
Personal, cred ca acest cantec va deveni clasic si va fi ascultat  peste ani si ani.

Critici:
Rolling Stone "this clip for the ballad 'Someone Like You' sticks to the singer's simple but emotionally direct approach with black and white footage that lingers on her subtly expressive face as she lip-synchs to the tune while walking along sad, grey city streets."

Tom Breihan - Pitchfork Media: "Sometimes, pop music can still break your heart."

Andrew Matson -The Seattle Times: "the song of the year now has a simple, perfect video: Adele in Paris, singing and strolling, apparently processing the breakup detailed in the song's lyrics. The look on her face during the 'I wish nothing but the best for you' line is the best, just gutting, a real achievement how she plays it cold but not sarcastic. I think in times of emotional devastation, everyone wants stand on a bridge over the Seine on a cold day, squinting into the wind, sorting it out."

This is what love is about

Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. (Captain Corelli's Mandolin)


"When you fall in love, it's a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it's not the desire to mate every second of the day..."

Entre nous ...


Entre nous,
C'est l'histoire
Qui commence au hasard
De nos yeux qui se cherchent
Entre nous
Entre nous,
De nos bras
C'est le temps qui donnera
Un premier rendez-vous
Entre nous

Entre nous, c'est le temps qui s'enfuie qui s'en fout
C'est la vie qui me prend dans le cou
C'est le coeur qui avoue
Entre nous,
Entre nous,
C'est l'aveux qui nous brûle en dessous
De nos peaux que l'on frôle, jaloux,
De nos moindres secondes sans nous
Entre nous,
C'est toujours
C'est le contraire
D'un jour
Un voyage sans détour
Entre nous

Entre nous
C'est le fort, la raison et le tord
C'est l'envie qui nous mord dans le cou
Entre nous,
C'est l'amour qui nous brûle en dessous
De nos peaux que l'on frôle, jaloux
De la moindre seconde sans nous

Entre nous,
C'est toujours
C'est le contraire
D'un jour
Un voyage sans détour
Entre nous.
