【專輯介紹】
It’s right there; on the cover, the spine, or illuminating from your iPod screen. But it’s hard to corroborate it in your mind. London singer-songwriter Adele’s debut album is titled 19, referencing her age, and there are hints it’s true--its themes are almost exclusively concerned with young love’s highs and (mostly) lows and there’s a clipped estuary English tide-mark to her voice, allying her with the fresh-faced modern female songwriting guard; Lily Allen, Kate Nash, et al. But the sheer weight of her maturity--vocally, emotionally and in overall poise—really reduces that all to circumstantial evidence. Adele is carrying something much bigger here, you can’t help but be consumed by it on "Daydreamer" with it’s jazzy tip-toeing guitar and elastic vocal range and "Hometown Glory" with its deep, lonely piano serving as a bed for the raw emotional undressing that takes place above it. Draw a line between timeless, powerful singers like Ella Fitzgerald and the modern standard of Amy Winehouse; Adele balances and pirouettes confidently along that tightrope. Winehouse particularly informs the likes of "Cold Shoulder" and double-bass heavy "Best for Last", and that’s not an alignment that’s ever going to be easy to realise credibly. Needless to say, she does, with ease. On future classic "Chasing Pavements" she also gives a nonsensical phrase a handful of heart in lieu of meaning and when you can pull that off convincingly you know you’re in possession of something special. Who dares to dream what bigger numbers could bring.

01.Daydreamer

Daydreamer sitting on the sea
Soaking up the sun
He is a real lover of making up the past
And feeling up his girl like he's never felt her figure before

A jaw dropper
Looks good when he walks
He's the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase but good to catch
And he could change the world with his hands behind his back
Oh

You can find him sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for the surprise

02.Best For Last　

Wait
Do you see my heart on my sleeve
It's been there for days on end and it's been waiting for you to open up
Just you baby
Come on now
I'm trying to tell you
Just how I'd like to hear the words roll out of your mouth finally
Say that it's always been me

That's made you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue

03.Chasing Pavements　

I've made up my mind
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right
Don't need to look no further
This ain't lust
I know this is love
But if I tell the world I'll never say enough 'cause it was not said to you
And that’s exactly what I need to do if I end up with you
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements

04.Cold Shoulder　

You say it's all in my head and the things I think just don't make sense
So where you been then
Don't go all coy
Don't turn it round on me like it's my fault

See I can see that look in your eyes
The one that shoots me each and every time

You graze me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

05.Crazy For You

I found myself today singing out loud your name
You said I'm crazy if I am I'm crazy for you

Sometimes sitting in the dark wishing you were here turns me crazy
But it's you who makes me lose my head

And every time I'm meant to be acting sensible
You drift into my head and turn me into a crumbling fool

Tell me to run and I'll race
If you want me to stop I'll freeze
And if you want me gone I'll leave

06.Melt My Heart To Stone　

Right under my feet there's air made of bricks
Pulls me down
Turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I'm forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings which forgive you each time
Without me knowing they melt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head
I'm the only one in love

07.First Love　

So little to say but so much time
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind
Please wear the face
The one where you smile
Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry

Forgive me first love but I'm tired
I need to get away
To feel again
Try to understand why

Don't get so close to change my mind
Please wipe that look out of your eyes
It's bribing me to doubt myself

08.Right As Rain　

Who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones and everything you do's a game
When night comes and you're on your own
You can say I chose to be alone
Who want to be right as rain
It's harder when your on top

'Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed as far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off

09.Make You Feel My Love　

When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years to make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet but I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met

10.My Same

Ay ay
Ay ay

Ay ay
Ay ay

Ay ay
Ay ay

Ay ay
Ay ay

You say I'm stubborn and I never give in
I think you're stubborn 'cept you're always softening
You say I'm selfish
I agree with you on that
I think you're giving up way too much in fact
I say we've only known each other one year
You say pfft
I've known you longer my dear

11.Tired

Hold my hand while you cut me down
It had only just begun but now it's over now
And you're in the heat of moments with your heart playing up cold
I'm between the middle watching hastiness unfold

In my eyes you were smiling in the spotlight dancing with the night
The night
Fell off your mind

I'm tired of trying
Your teasing ain't enough
Fed up of biding your time when I don't get nothing back

12.Hometown Glory　

I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing all the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel
And strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear
Is there anyone I can call"
"No and thank you
Please Madam
I ain't lost
Just wandering"

Round my hometown memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh
The people I've met are the wonders of my world
