488 // WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL...
I've been missing for awhile, but I feel this really strong urge to write this down.
First, go listen/watch this YouTube video: Adele - 'Rolling in the Deep'. I've heard the song a few times on the radio, but always in random snippets, but after hearing Glee's cover I found out who it was truly by and heard the whole track.
Honestly, I'm amazed by this track. Her voice is just so fucking full and soulful. I expected her to be a curvy black woman, a la Ella Fitgerald. In a world where 95% of the shit on the radio is awful, auto-tuned bullshit, it is extremely refreshing to hear someone truly singing. Even just the background stuff: the drums, the piano... it is such an earworm. It just pulls you in.
And to be frank, I'm so damn happy she is not skinny. She is a curvaceous and full woman, and I'm absurdly happy about it. When I first watched the video eight or nine listens ago, my jaw pretty much dropped when I saw her. She is real, and she is bigger like I am, and my god she is beautiful and has an amazing voice.
I had to say all that. I'm gonna listen to this track one more and then play some Portal, and maybe write more in here soon. I'm trying to change, for the better, and I want that to be written out so I remember why I'm doing it.
