When we were young - Adele

I was so scared to face my fears, nobody told me that you'd be here.

Here is another great Adele's song, When We Were Young. It was released on January 2016. Adele once has said that this song is her favourite track off the album 25.

When We Were Young is a soul ballad. It is written in the key of E♭ major. The song follows a chord progression of Cm–Gm–A♭–E♭–Fm–E♭. Lyrics are about reminiscing past memories with a loved one.

You can not find official music video because there is no one. But via Vevo, you can find a version of the song filmed at The Church Studios and on Adale's youtube page you can find live performances.

In an interview with SiriusXM, Adele said the song "was based on us being older, and being at a party at this house, and seeing everyone that you've ever fallen out with, everyone that you've ever loved, everyone that you've never loved, and stuff like that, where you can't find the time to be in each other's lives. And you're all thrown together at this party when you're like 50, and it doesn't matter and you have so much fun and you feel like you're 15 again. So that's the kind of vibe of it really."

 
 

 

Lyrics:

Everybody loves the things you do,
from the way you talk to the way you move,
everybody here is watching you,
'cause you feel like home,
you're like a dream come true.

But if by chance you're here alone,
can I have a moment before I go?
'Cause I've been by myself all night long,
hoping you're someone I used to know.

You look like a movie,
you sound like a song,
my God, this reminds me,
of when we were young.

Let me photograph you in this light,
in case it is the last time,
that we might be exactly like we were,
before we realized,
we were sad of getting old,
it made us restless,
it was just like a movie,
it was just like a song.

I was so scared to face my fears,
nobody told me that you'd be here,
and I swear you moved overseas,
that's what you said, when you left me.

You still look like a movie,
you still sound like a song,
my God, this reminds me,
of when we were young.

Let me photograph you in this light,
in case it is the last time,
that we might be exactly like we were,
before we realized,
we were sad of getting old,
it made us restless,
it was just like a movie,
it was just like a song.

4x

When we were young. 

It's hard to admit that,
everything just takes me back,
to when you were there,
to when you were there,
and a part of me keeps holding on,
just in case it hasn't gone,
I guess I still care,
do you still care?

It was just like a movie,
it was just like a song,
my God, this reminds me,
of when we were young,

4x

When we were young. 

Let me photograph you in this light,
in case it is the last time,
that we might be exactly like we were,
before we realized,
we were sad of getting old,
it made us restless,
it was just like a movie,
it was just like a song.

When we were young.
