hey if you want a sneak preview of a song not yet heard until today, Radio 2 Dermot O'Leary played "Set fire to the Rain" you can hear it by going to the radio 2 website for Saturday 15.1.11 and he plays it at 2.27.30..It's the best song I've ever heard by her.

She looks so effortless when she sings, amazing.

[SMiLE01214]

flawless.

and has anyone noticed that this song has a strange meter? it seems like a very difficult song to perform, and of course adele pulls it off perfectly.

She is one of the very few singers that sound just as good live as they do on the cd. She has an amazing voice

First I liked Adele, then I liked the bass line on this song. Only now have I realized that she wrote and plays the bass line herself. Sooooooooooo much respect for this lady.

@mcroyaltie that's exactly what i thought it meant which is why is applied to me in so many different ways since i've dealt with the exact thing no too long ago. thanks so much!!

@kerryramoutar I think it is essentially about unrequited love; this guy isn't reciprocating her feelings. In her perfect fantasy world, one day he'll proclaim that he has the same feelings for her and say "I'm the one for you". I think, however, that when the beat picks up at the chorus, that is in fact the reality of the situation; what he would say if given the chance, and deep down, she knows exactly what's going on - she's being used. But she lets it continue because she's too far in love.

@kerryramoutar Although I fell in love with the song immediately after hearing it, I too was a bit confuzzled about the meaning. It's a pretty sad song, the tone sort of throws you off...
