Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

Someone Like You

I wrote a couple of months ago that I was looking forward to the release of Adele’s next album: 21. We got it a couple of weeks ago, and have been playing it frequently ever since. It’s very, very good.

Here she is performing “Someone Like You” at the BRIT Awards recently; just her voice and a piano – but what a depth in that performance:

    Hmmm. Makes me glad not to be 20-something anymore.

    Still reading you and still enjoying your writing.

      Yep, although love can give pleasure or pain at any age, I think. But perhaps you’re right that age dulls the worst excesses (in either direction)…

        I’ve since become another hopeless/helpless Adele addict. Thanks. I now have ‘Take It All’ on a continuous loop from morning til night.

          Glad you’ve fallen – she also seems to be a down-to-earth person; not an airhead celebrity (at least, not yet). See:
