[@edoradaa]

Fun fact: Adele said that “Can I Get It” is about casual sex. You’ll notice that the verses are about her experience of falling in love and developing deep feelings for someone, while the “can I get it” part and the chorus actually come from the perspective of a man who is only interested in having sex with her. That’s why it may sound weird / funny - it’s due to the irony of the situation!

That’s actually such a good thing to point out, the song makes a lot more sense structurally now lol

Also, the reason why Adele demanded the play with a shuffle to be removed is that these tracks are a timeline of what she was actually going through in her life when she was in the process of making this album, hence why from the BOP that is Can I Get It then goes deep to I Drink Wine. Life's a rollercoaster, even Adele's, and she wants us to be in that ride with her and it is FANTASTIC.

Those 3 songs that are faster tempo in the middle are that part of the grieving process where you're trying to party your way out of the sadness. That's what I got from them and why it's important to listen to artists' albums in order. I THINK that's why they're chaotic at points at the ends.

Firstly, I’ve been waiting patiently for your reaction video to 30 and you did not disappoint. Secondly, to be able to be so openly emotional and sensitive like this is nothing short of moving. In a world full of toxic masculinity, it’s refreshing and necessary to show one’s feelings the way you have. Thirdly, 30 is already timeless. The amount of emotion and sadness and pain and hope Adele poured in this album is incredible. I’ll be going back to your video when I want to release it all again. Thank you for doing what you do.
