A collection of musical collaborations by Adele and Greg about life, love, and everything in between
Adele said she has always been fascinated by – and unafraid of – death. This is her beautifully rendered lyrical take on that concept.
Adele predicting our future. Marriage is a marathon. Initial passion turns into familiarity, and – if you do it right – that’s not only okay, it’s better.
Love is sometimes fraught. Some autobiography in here.
Adele’s take on chaos theory. I think this is the song she’s proudest of. She handed me the lyric and said “make it funky and weird.”
When you’re watching TV and the phone rings and you try to answer it, but the phone ringing is from the TV.
This is a song about relationships (not ours) that fall apart because one party can’t reciprocate the efforts put in by the other party. It’s a righteous anger song.
Love and life as the water cycle. Don’t let fear be a dam.
Adele wrote this in the fall of 2005 after her sister Natalie died suddenly in May and Hurricane Katrina devastated our favorite place to visit in August. It was a rough year.
When you have kids, you accumulate a lot of crap which eventually has to go away. Kiss it goodbye!
A visually, emotionally evocative and finely crafted short story set in a pop song.
An eerie lyric about the space between being awake and asleep set to a hypnotic musical background.
A fun and funky one. The high-powered female business exec may be hot stuff, but the stay-at-home mom has the guy's heart.
Adele's summer at the beach song, where she imagines us as younger people doing the things we (still) loved doing as older people.
Some guys are never gonna get that whole "growing up" thing to happen. Maybe they're okay with that. Or they have no clue. . .
