"It was dark and I was over / Until you kissed my lips and you saved me"

The love this composition. I love these lyrics.

I thought about their meaning, and how sometimes we think our lives are dark, lonely, worthless, worn out, and over. It seems some times our heads are held so low, that we forget there is someone else who is quietly cheering for us -- quietly reaching out their hand to help us up.

And Adele's words speak about a kiss having saved her. While it refers to a loved one who has her head over heels, it's relative to any time someone helps up. A kiss, to me, is symbolic of someone accepting you, letting you know they identify with you, and that they care about you.

It can be a fan to a musician. An employer to an employee. A mother to her child. A true friend to another. A judge to an outlaw on behalf of the victim's family. Or a partner to his/her loved one.

When our heads are down and eyes are somber, we have to pay attention to those who are reaching out to us.

I think of how Dan Savage started the "it gets better" campaign -- and it's about this very thing. It's about how it takes a village to lift us up and show that we support one another.

So when times are tough, we have to keep our heads up. While this orchestra instrumental piece has no vocals, it has lyrics -- and that's the beauty of this piece.

Adele is one of the best things that happened in 21st century's music.

[MaximusRecords]

The Arrangement is very bad and the Video is a FAKE!

I know what I'm talking about because I'm playing in a Orchestra in Germany dude.

By the way, a orchestra like this would never play shit like this .

@ForOrchestra

oh you badass :D I've always disdained orchestra's usual pretentious, serious business tone.. I love your music, and your attitude... it breaks the norm so much :') <3 As a fellow music lover, I really enjoy watching this :')

[KatiieLovesJonas]

i don't know why but i always like to hear the tuning before they play haha

[DuckofAwesomeify]

Two things I love the most.

Classical and Adele's work.

This is simply beautiful.

@cnmaster01 now you're thinking like an arranger! the reason I didn't choose the trumpets tho is because they tend to be too powerful for a soft lush piece like this.

[cnmaster01]

I thought the vocal melody would sound best in the trumpets... Just me maybe.
