Ms. Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
'Cause I love you
Love, love, oh
In the song "Lovesong," Adele sings about the unparalleled feeling of being in love with someone. She explains that being with this person gives her a sense of belonging, completeness, and youthfulness that she can't achieve when she is alone or with others. Being in his company makes her feel like she can be free and pure. She assures the object of her affection that no matter how far apart they may be, no matter how long they stay apart, or whatever words they may say to each other, she will always love him.
The chorus of the song is particularly interesting, as it is repetitive but its meaning is impactful. Adele reiterates the phrase "However far away, I will always love you, however long I stay, I will always love you, whatever words I say, I will always love you" three times, with slight variation each time. The repetitiveness of the chorus emphasizes the song's central message of undying love.
Another notable aspect of "Lovesong" is that it is a cover of a song initially performed by the British band The Cure in the late 80s. Adele's rendition is an intimate, slower version of the original, showcasing her impressive vocals and emotional depth. Interestingly, the lead singer of The Cure, Robert Smith, has said in interviews that he considers Adele's version of the song to be the "ultimate" cover of their work.
