Ok... so after more than a few requests from you for Adele's 'Someone Like You'...... here ya go. :)
I completely agree with you that it's an amazing song, btw... Seriously, she's bringing well-written, meaningful songwriting back to mainstream music in a big way, and I, for one, couldn't be happier.
Thanks so much for asking me to do this one...
Gavin

with lyrics:
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
ADELE
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and your married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
You'd know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summery haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over yet
Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead...
I adore you and your music! Please don't ever stop recording! I'm glad i found your youtube channel! It would mean the world to me if you responded. It's my birtday tomorrow :-)

Hey!
I'm from Germany and actually I'd say my english is not too bad, but right now I'm speechless.
This cover is absolutely amazing! Though I do have the album of Adele I have to admit that your interpretation touches even more. I'm just fighting back my tears.
Wow, if you understood German this comment would be so much longer, full of thankful phrases because of this cover. Though this song was hyped that much you made me see it from a different perspective. Thank you!

@follower1992 Wow, follower... what an amazing comment. THANK YOU SO MUCH for saying that. I can't even tell you how much it means to me. If my take on the song is something you connect with... truly the biggest compliment you could ever give. Thank you...
I hope you're doing great, and hopefully I can tour in your country sometime soon. I lived outside Munich for a year as a kid, and wow... such an amazing place!!!
Thanks again.

Hello!
I have listened to some of your songs and I must admit I was really impressed by your interpretations of songs, which, i thought before, are no longer possible to change, because there are already hundreds of versions of, for instance, Someone Like You. But your one is, how to say that, very true, authentic.
Anyway, tell me, please, do you also have your own songs? You seem to be very talented guy and it wouldn't be a surprise for me if one day I'll hear you in some radio station!
