Listening Log Week 1 -Brittny Sobers

Song – “All I ask” by Adele

  • “No one knows me like you do.

And since you’re the only one that matters

Tell me who do I run to?”

These lyrics strikes me because when she sings this part I can feel the pain in her voice when she asks who do I run to. Her tone stood out to me mostly.

  • “Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do

It matters how this ends

Cause what if I never love again?”

In the song Adele repeats these lyrics 3 times throughout the entire song.

  • “ I don’t wanna be cruel or vicious

And I aint asking for forgiveness”

This part of the song the song completely slows down almost to a stop then
“All I ask is

If this is my last night with you

Hold me like I’m more than just a friend

Give me a memory I can use

Take my by the hand while we do what lovers do

It matters how this ends

Cause what if I never love again?”

When this last part of the song comes on after the stop to the music the song picks up and Adele picks the beat up as well as her tone and volume. She becomes louder and more powerful as she closes the song.
