This Song Rocks: Someone Like You


Original video located here. Accessed 8th September 2021

Song title: Someone Like You

Artist: Adele

Year: 2011

Why I like this song:

I could say that i was taken in by this song due to it's honesty, simplicity, it's relatability and the emotional rollercoaster it sends the listener but that's the same story for countless other people.

So what i will say is that a decade on, this song does indeed occupy a unique place in the pop canon. As long as pop music exists there will be people lashing out at ex-lovers but I doubt anyone will have the gall to write a song of the "You moved on, I haven't and now I'm the bad guy" variety.

In fact can I imagine those female pop stars who have made careers of attacking ex-boyfriends (ie Beyonce, Olivia Rodrigo) viewing this song with an eye of resentment? Yes I can. XD
