an amazing singer suddenly sprang in 2008, her name was Adele.

At that time, she was only 19, but her overage voice hit into our heart.

Introduction:

Adele's an English singer and songwriter, so her accent is English pronunciation. 

(a little bit hard to understand when i listened to it first time.)

and actually her sucess is because her friend post her demo on a website and then the next year she got Brit Awards.

can u imagine that the kind of mature voice is from a young girl????

Track Details:

here are songs i recommend for u:)

1. Rolling in the Deep

she explains the heartbreak feeling and anger to her relationship.

her attitude toward it was a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, while simultaneously everything's rolling in her deep...

2.Rumor Has It

sometimes there's a situation that EVEN u had broken up with somebody, people still tells u all about the person.

u try to forget and let go while all still remind you his/her existence.

you tries not to care but ... like the lyric says: 

"All of these words whispered in my ear

Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear

Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean I meant it

People say crazy things"

it's a really heartbreaking song not only because of the lyric, but also because of the molody.

you've gone without a single word, leaving me alone pondering my fault.

all our happiness, don't you remember?

4.i'll be waiting

it's a kind of relieved tone to sing the song and tell the story.

and the part i love most is

"Yes, I swam dirty waters, 

But you pushed me in,"

it said: all my fault, but now i try to restore the situation. if u want, everything i can do. 

so, plz love me again, i'll be waiting.

5. Someone Like You

this song is my favorite one in the tracks.

unlike first song Rolling in the Deep that she sang out she don't need him anymore, the song depicts the awkward long-awited reunion scenes.

he has already found his happiness, but i'm still alone.

it's all the end while i'm still reluctant to let it go.... 

Vocabularies:

1. rolling in the deep: here it described a serious struggle in her mind.  想法在心裡深處掙扎

Ex:

An idea rolls in the deep of my heart. I do not know whether I should do it or not.

2.head burn: to let the person feel headache about the thing. 

Ex:

Because of the heavy responsibility of his work, he felt his head burn.

3.You'll pay me back in kind and you reap just what you sow: means eye to an eye and you get what you sow.

你會報復回來，你會以牙還牙。

4.head in the clouds: Unrealistic fantasies

Ex:During the class. he dreamed the daydream just as his head in the clouds.

在課堂上時，他開始做白日夢，就像腦子在雲中一樣，有些不切實際的幻想。

5.fickle heart: changeable heart 善變的

Ex: She's a woman with fickle heart. She always changes her mind again and again.

她是個善變的女人，總是一次又一次的改變主意。

6.turning table: to reverse the situation/ get the upper hand 改變情勢(以取得主導位置)
