英伦音乐精灵--Adele

歌曲《Hometown Glory》是Adele专辑《19》第一单曲，作为专辑的首支单曲，《Hometown Glory》表达了Adele对自己家乡的那份深深的热爱之情。而这却是她早在16岁就写好的歌曲。16岁的歌还略带成长的迷惘和不知所措，然而这首16岁的歌曲却成为了Adele给自己19岁成长的探索划下的句号——或许在历经种种之后的她顿然悟出：原来成长不过是在那些冲击、矛盾、犹豫或是踟蹰面前欣然而，在现实和期望最猛烈的撞击之后，受伤的孩子终还是要回到那个依旧矛盾的故乡，慰藉疗伤。

天昏地暗 我万念俱灰
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
直到你亲吻我的双唇 拯救了我

Watched it pour as I touched you face
我轻抚着你的脸颊 大雨滂沱

Adele 2011皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅演唱会,这是我近年好少能完整将整场演唱会看下来，而且看完后意犹未尽，当演唱《Someone Like You》时，Adele的流泪让人看着让人心疼，是那种痛彻心扉的难受。整场下来没有华丽的服饰，没有一些夺眼的各种道具，只是一个人站在舞台上静静的歌唱，当然偶尔和观众的互动可以看出这个美丽的小胖妞是个性格开朗的人，什么时候能欣赏这么一场高质量的演唱会，我想那将会是特别的美妙。

天后级的歌手，又有特色和才华，是应该开个专楼 有空我弄精选集哦

以上歌曲做成了精选集，其中“Someone Like You”包含了两个版本，一个是录音室专辑版本，一个是英国Royal Albert Hall的现场演唱会版本，试听链接如下：
