    Many moons ago, my friend who had followed her heart to Ireland told me of this amazing singer over there and that I should have a listen. Of course 'Chasing Pavements' was the song to hear and I fell in love. Then after returning back home to Toronto, my friend surprised me one night with tickets to go see Adele at Massey Hall (40$ a ticket too). On stage appeared the shy Adele adorned in a stripped t-shirt and leggings, and no shoes, just socks. She was humble as she gushed over our city (of course as they do) and just sat on the stool in the middle of the stage. It felt like I was sitting in her home listening to her belt out her ballads of moments in her life that had torn her apart and sewn her back together again. It truly was a magical night that I will never forget.

      @@mr.monotonous6659 They said Adele was "over there" in Ireland where their friend followed their heart to go, and never said Adele was Irish or from there. Adele was in Ireland many times, but for sure specificcally on tour in 2008 when Chasing Pavements was 'the song to hear" because it was literally the song the show ended on. Nice "nice try though" try, though. Don't be insufferable. Nobody thinks you're cool; even you -- being a snotty person is the easiest laziest thing to do. Expect more from yourself. Nobody was being weird or antagonistic. It was someone sharing a nice story in a nice video of music. Since nobody's that fragile, next time you feel like saying something like that, don't, and move on.

      A crappy little office, but with great microphones is in some ways the best of all possible venues, because even the best singers will do even better in an intimate setting than a big venue. You can underestimate the power of looking directly into people's eyes when emoting to them.

    NPR really does an amazing job at providing truly Raw showings of artists. After being introduced to the music scene, I’ve never felt music stronger than in small performances like these. Tiny Desk is the Perfect example of this. No big audio controller to change everything like a big stage show, no editing from recordings, just pure, unfiltered joy ringing from the musicians expressing their emotions. This platform has made me truly love my favorites on a whole new level, when I know it’s hard to get into small shows on big artists. Thank you, NPR, I’ve overlooked Adele for years and this video made me realize how good she actually is.

    Baby, I have no story to be told
    But I've heard one on you, now I'm gonna make your head burn
    Think of me in the depths of your despair
    Make a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared
    The scars of your love (never had met me)
    Remind me of us (tears are gonna fall)
    They keep me thinking (rolling in the deep)
    That we almost had it all (you're gonna wish you)

    Rolling in the deep
    You had my heart inside of your hand
    But you played it with a beating
    Throw your soul through every open door (whoa)
    Count your blessings to find what you look for (whoa)
    Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (whoa)
    You pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown
    We could've had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
    We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
    It all, it all, it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

    When they did the zoom in on her face at the beginning of Rolling in the Deep, I was so transfixed watching the shapes she was making with her mouth to get all round-toned and resonant that I didn't realize I was just inches from the monitor, and when she belllowed the "could've have it AAAAALLLL" the sound coming from her mouth actually blew my hair back.

    I love that she's so quiet and sweet in her speaking voice...then she starts to sing and belts it out like woah. Love it!! 😊

    Adele's voice hits one in the heart and gut. What an instrument she possesses. Amazing.

    Generational talent. Everest of a performance. I, of course, mean the cameraman.

    her voice is the Biggest instrument that's why she is so iconic, doesn't need all those instruments or sound effects other artists use.

    Watching this 9 years later and the description is incredible, “two new songs to go along with her hit” and chasing pavements was the song I had never heard
