‘Rolling in the Deep’, the song that showed the angriest Adele, is on its anniversary

Adele has been giving us music for many years, and it is that today, November 29, ‘Rolling in the Deep’meets 12 years since its release. It is a song that belongs to her studio album ’21’, released in 2011. The interpreter composed it together with Paul Epworth, who was also in charge of its production, known for being responsible for Bloc Party and Florence and The Machine, as well as for his work on ‘Everything Is New’, the second album by Jack Peñate, Adele’s friend. Adele describes the single as a “dark disco gospel tune”.

In this revenge song, Adele lashes out at an old boyfriend. “It’s my statement”said. “People will listen to her and say: “Wow, don’t mess around with little girls”. Adele described the song to Spin magazine as kissing a disloyal uncle. “I’m the one saying, ‘Get the hell out of my house instead of begging him to come back'”said.

‘Rolling in the Deep’, this is the song that changed Adele’s musical style

“It’s my musical equivalent of saying things on the spur of the moment and spewing out words”he added. “It was my reaction to being told that my life was going to be lonely and boring and crap, and that I was a weak person if I didn’t go through with the relationship. I felt very insulted and wrote it as some sort of ‘fuck you’.”. Adele credits her producer, Paul Epworth, with getting a great performance out of this song. “There are notes in that song that I didn’t even know I could play”said.

When he was touring North America presenting his album ’19’his bus driver presented him with a greatest hits album by Wanda Jackson. While traveling through the southern states, she was drawn to American country music, such as Alison Krauss, Rascal Flatts, and Lady Antebellum. Once she began preparing her second album in England, Adele began to incorporate these new influences into her songs, like this one, in which her voice partly incorporates Jackson’s dirty-blues sound.. “I wanted the songs to not have any glitz or glamour, more like an organic tapestry than a Gaga album”, the singer told Rolling Stone. “I mean, I love Gaga, but I didn’t want to get caught up in all that European dance music.”

Much of the disc ‘twenty-one’including this song, is about Adele’s life after a complicated relationship in the years after her success. “I was angry”he confessed. “I was very, very angry with my personal life up until a year ago. I’ve also grown a bit, and I like to think that I’ve blossomed into who I’m going to be. I’m not willing to be walked all over like they did with the relationship of the that the first record is about. I now have the upper hand, so yeah, the whole record is a bit sour.”

‘Rolling in the Deep’ it became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. The song spent 65 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, at that time becoming the song with the highest number of weeks on said list. The music video for the song was directed by Sam Brown and starred Adele and received seven top nominations at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.

“Rolling in the Deep” lyrics

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it’s bringing me out of the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I’ll lay your ship bare

See how I’ll leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling

We could’ve had it all (you’re gonna wish you)
(Never had me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you’re gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one on you, now I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there, as mine sure won’t be shared

The scars of your love (never had me)
Remind me of us (tears are gonna fall)
They keep me thinking (rolling in the deep)
That we almost had it all (you’re gonna wish you)
The scars of your love (never had me)
They leave me breathless (tears are gonna fall)
I can’t help feeling (rolling in the deep)

We could’ve had it all (you’re gonna wish you)
(Never had me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you’re gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

We could’ve had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door (whoa)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (whoa)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (whoa)
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you’ve sown

We could’ve had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could’ve had it all (you’re gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could’ve had it all (you’re gonna wish you)
(Never had me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you’re gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Could’ve had it all (you’re gonna wish you)
(Never had me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you’re gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
But you played it, you played it, you played it
You played it to the beat
