So last night I got home and was whistling that new Adele song, which I never really listened to the words to but which was stuck in my head. SS11B said, "Ooh I love that song- it's my favorite song!" And I said, "Yes- it is really catchy." THEN I realized that he most likely knows it and loves it because BM is most likely a massive Adele fan. After all, Adele writes every song about her lost love who has MTFO (moved the fuck on) and she obviously either hasn't or she knows that a lot of other women haven't and that they'll buy her music. I can't believe I never made this connection before.
So when this thought occurred to me, I said, "Adele really needs to move on into the next stage of her life, don't you think? Either that or she needs to do exactly what she's doing because a ton of people buy her music..." and he just smiled.

I am OVER scorned-woman music!

So funny, we were just talking about this as a family the other day. Beautiful voice and heartfelt songs but most everyone depressing and about pining away for someone no longer interested in her.

*sigh* I did the whole depro Adele drunk thing once. My now husband broke up with me and I got horrendously plastered. Listened to "Someone like you" over and over and over as he went back to an ex girlfriend. Somewhere about 3am, in my drunken haze I sms'd him what a d&^% he was, then deleted his number.

Was very cathartic. Still love that song Blum 3

Eff the ex. My fave break-up song is by The All-American Rejects

"Gives You Hell"

I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Now where's your picket fence love?
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?
You never seemed so tense love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song and you sing along but you'll never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell

When you hear this song
I hope that it will give you hell

You can sing along
I hope that it will treat you well
