An Audience with Adele (2021) Movie Script
1
Adele? Coming back?
I'm just so excited to see
one of the greatest singers
of all time.
Oh my God!
The atmosphere is electric.
Everyone is gagging
for a bit of Adele.
She is gifted, beyond gifted.
I'm thrilled to be here.
This is a house of love for her tonight.
So it's gonna be wonderful.
I feel really honored to be
a part of it, it's great.
We've all been wondering
what she's been recording.
Finally, we're gonna hear it
live for the first time,
so yeah,
it's a really big moment.
We're gonna be amongst
the first people in the world
to hear these songs,
it's really special.
I think she's one
of the great originals,
she has the most
phenomenal voice.
Everything she sings
is from the heart,
and that's just a true
superstar, really.
She is the master at it,
so I'm excited to see that.
This is the hottest ticket in town.
I actually can't believe it.
What a night.
And I literally can't wait.
I've been walking in
the same way
As I did
Missing out the cracks
in the pavement
And strutting my heel
and tutting my feet
Is there anything
I can do for you dear
Is there anyone I could call
No and thank
you please Madam
I ain't lost just wandering
'Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
'Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders
of this world
Are the wonders of now
I like it in the city when
the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody
in short skirts
Shorts and shades
I like it in the city
when two worlds collide
You get the people
and the government
Everybody taking
different sides
Shows that we
ain't gonna stand
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't
gonna take it
Shows that we ain't
gonna stand
Shows that we are united
'Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
'Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met, yeah
Yeah
Do-da-da-da-da, yeah
Are the wonders of my world
You are the wonders
of my world
Are the wonders
of this world
Are the wonders...
...of my world
Of my world, yeah
Of my world
Of my world
Yeah
Hello, it's me
I was wondering
if after all these years
You'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's
supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done
much healing
Hello can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming
about who we used to be
When we were
younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt
Before the world
fell at our feet
There's such a difference
between us
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must've called
a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say
that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't
tear you apart anymore
Hello how are you
It's so typical of me
to talk about myself
I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it
out of that town
Where nothing ever happened
It's no secret
that the both of us
Are running
out of time...
So hello from the other side
I must've called
a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call,
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say
that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't
tear you apart anymore
Ooh anymore
Ooh anymore
Ooh anymore
Anymore
Hello from the other side
I must've called
a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say
that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't
tear you apart anymore
Hi!
Hello!
Hello to you lot there!
Hello!
Oh, guys!
I got really emotional
when I come 'round
the bend up there!
Oh dear, I haven't
been home for so long
and I haven't played
a show here for so long.
How are you all?
You lot are way more raucous
than them lot down 'ere, obviously.
So we're all on the telly,
which is gonna be very exciting.
I'm actually such a... hang on.
Let me have a little...
May I get a hot honey?
That's a chamomile.
I'm not a diva. Anyway...
Gotta get me breath back.
I'm very, very nervous. Um...
I...
Of course I bloody am!
Anyway... I am!
I'm such a big fan
of an Audience With.
It used to be, like,
the highlight of me life
whenever it was on,
so I'm so thrilled
to be doing it tonight.
Really excited.
Very, very excited.
And we're gonna take
some questions actually,
which I'm very excited about.
Dawn French, where are...
Hi, I love you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi, well, tonight is
all about you, Adele,
so I want to ask you
when you are going
to write a song about me?
No, that is not my question.
That is not my question.
Your music is so relatable,
do you have tons of people
coming up to you
to tell you all
about their break-ups
and their relationship issues?
To be hones... Ooh!
Someone found that funny!
To be honest, when I'm not,
you know, in singing mode,
you know, which is
most of my life, obviously...
Not much, but you know, at
a party or something like that,
someone will have a drink
and then come over
and tell me their
whole relationship history
and I'm just trying
to have a laugh.
And you know, sometimes
if I get to meet my fans
and stuff like that,
especially on
the tour last time,
I loved going into the crowd
and meeting people,
and some of the stories
were wild!
Like, you know, they really
credited me for like,
either getting them through
or making them kick him out,
you know, and stuff like that.
So kinda, yeah.
Why? You alright?
All good.
Good. I must say,
you look absolutely amazing!
- So do you!
- Thank you, darling. Thank you.
Alright! Hollywood... Samuel L.
Jackson, where are you?
- Hey!
- Hi!
- Hey!
- What was your question?
My question is:
Have you ever used your
"Adele-ity" to get out
of a ticket?
- I can't believe you drive, first of all, or...
- I do!
- Do you?
- Of course, I do!
Well, have you used
your "Adele-ity"
to get out of any other
precarious situation?
Well, one time, on the 401,
Samuel L. Jackson.
When I first moved L.A...
Which, by the way, was never
meant to be as long as it is.
But when I first moved there,
I'd never really driven there,
and I was in the fast lane,
like in the far left lane,
not going that fast, there was
actually quite a lot of traffic,
and I was in a rental,
and the windows were
tinted a bit too dark,
but I didn't know that,
you know.
Anyways, I was minding
my own business,
and then suddenly,
a police car pulls up behind me
and, you know, he's like basically hinting
that I need to pull over or whatever,
so I just stopped where I was,
I didn't know...
I'd never been
pulled over in my life.
So I pulled over in the carpool
lane, they call it, don't they?
He comes on that like, that tannoy on top
of the car, screaming at me, being like,
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Pull off! Pull off!"
So I followed him,
and we went off.
I was just on my way
to the supermarket, actually.
I was living my best life.
He pulls me over,
I wind all the windows down,
as I've been taught
to do before...
Especially if you're getting
pulled over in America,
you never know what they're gonna do.
And... I gave him my British
driver's license,
Which might as well have been
like a Blockbuster card.
Like, he's never seen it before.
Also, looks nothing like me.
It's like me when I was like 17.
Goes back...
You know, I'm English,
I'm just here for a bit,
like, blah blah blah, you know,
proving that it's real,
and then he goes back to the car
and comes back
and he's on the phone
with his wife
who's screaming at him on the
phone for pulling me over.
He's like,
"I'm so sorry, Adele."
"Sorry. Do whatever it is
you need to do."
And I got away with it!
I was shaking the whole way
to Bristol Farms.
It was hilarious!
But yes, so I did. Kind of.
I didn't mean to,
I was ready to go to jail.
But...
But he was... well,
she saved the day, really.
Anyone that's ever
come to one of my shows before,
you know there's not
that many chances
to have a little shoulder
boogie or anything like that,
cuz most of them
are sad and miserable,
So... But if you want to,
this is, you know,
it's only chance to dance.
So enjoy!
This was all you
none of it me
You put your hands
all over my body
And told me
Mmm
You told me you were ready
For the big one
for the big jump
I'd be your last love
Everlasting, you and me
Mmm
That was what you told me
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
I was too strong,
you were trembling
You couldn't handle
the hot heat rising
- Rising
- Mmm
Baby I'm still rising
I was running
you were walking
You couldn't keep up
you were falling down
- Down
- Mmm
There's only one way down
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, ooh
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
If you're ready
if you're ready
If you're ready I am ready
If you're ready
if you're ready
We both know
we ain't kids no more
No we ain't kids no more
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
If you're ready
if you're ready
If you're ready I am ready
If you're ready
if you're ready
If you're ready I am ready
No, we ain't kids no more
Next one!
Try and help me sing along...
Sing along with this one
for me as well, will ya?
There ain't no gold
in this river
That I've been washin'
my hands in forever
I know there is hope
in these waters
But I can't bring
myself to swim
When I am drowning
in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child...
One more time,
I'm myself.
I'm really scared!
There ain't no gold
in this river
That I've been washin'
my hands in forever
I know there is hope
in these waters
But I can't bring
myself to swim
When I am drowning
in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
There ain't no room
for things to change
When we are both so
deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny
how hard I have tried
I changed who I was
to put you both first
But now I give up
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy
On me
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably
doesn't even show
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
Thank you.
You are so kind.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you so much. So kind.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'm excited but nervous
to sing like new songs.
They've been finished
for quite a while
but there's something
about that one
that just scares
the life out of me.
So I don't just like,
wallow in meself.
Alright, Gareth Southgate.
Where are yo...
Oh, hello!
Hi!
Yes, well done.
It was bloody wonderful watching
everything in the summer.
It was the best. How are ya?
I'm good,
thank you for your support.
We saw all the videos
of your getting quite...
- Hit me 'ead on a cupboard and
nearly passed out! -
- So we're supposed to be about collaboration...
- Yes.
Sometimes we get that right.
Of everybody in here tonight,
who would you most
like to collaborate with?
Probably put me
on a blind date, then?
I'm gonna say Daniel Kaluuya.
Obviously, I'm not an actress,
but I just think you are
the greatest actor,
I really, really do.
I'm mesmerized by you
and your work,
and I'd love to just be...
Or even just watch
you work one day,
cuz I feel like I'd learn a lot.
Yes, and you.
If you want to sign me
as a footballer, you know.
We'll take ya.
Okay, Hannah? Where are you, Hannah?
Right, superstar!
- Bonsoir, Mademoiselle...
- Oh my gosh, sorry, hello. Bonsoir,hello.
- Sorry.
- You look breathtaking.
- Congratulations on everything.
- Thank you so much.
- It's literally my favorite show.
- Thank you, thank you!
Give her a round
of applause!
Listen.
You are so rightly idolized
all around the world,
but I just wanted to know
who are your idols, and why?
Beyonc!
You know I love me some
Beyonc, but
You know, my idols,
and I'm about so say,
I can't really compare
anything I do to Beyonc,
just because
it's like night and day,
and she's just heavenly...
But I couldn't
also really compar...
D'ya know what? Beyonc's
one of me favorites, guys.
She's not one of me idols.
Don't come for me.
I always say,
like, Bette Midler,
Barbara Streisand, for sure.
And they're definitely like,
unreachable in every way,
but just the humor,
and just that I feel like
I have that in common with them.
You know,
it's like slightly like,
everyone likes to sing
sad songs but then like,
you talk dirty and all that.
But no one sings their face off
like you, my friend.
Oh, thank you.
It's just cuz I can't
breath properly in this dress.
- Magnificent.
- Thank you, my love.
Again, congratulations
on everything.
Thank you. Likewise.
Yeah, like Barbara and Bette,
and Celine Dion,
she's a joker and all,
isn't she?
We announced the, you know, tracklist
for the album the other day,
and someone told me that
this one caused quite a stir
because it's called
"I Drink Wine."
Which was just
a joke that stuck,
and it ended up becoming
the name of the song.
But it's a song about
really growing up, I think.
I feel like a lot of people
will relate to the lyrics of it.
I'm sort of asking
someone a question,
but I also feel like
it's us all asking each other
and asking ourselves
the questions.
But it's definitely
one of me favorites,
so I hope you like it.
How can one
become so bounded
By choices that somebody
else makes?
How come we've both
become a version
Of a person
we don't even like?
We're in love with the world
But the world just wants
to bring us down
By putting ideas
in our heads
That corrupt
our hearts somehow
When I was a child
Every single thing
could blow my mind
Soaking it all up for fun
But now I only soak up wine
They say to play hard
you work hard
Find balance in
the sacrifice
Yet I don't know anybody
who's truly satisfied
You better believe I'm
trying to keep climbing
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're both
none the wiser
So I hope I learn
to get over myself
Stop trying
to be somebody else
So we can love
each other for free
Everybody wants something
You just want me
Why am I obsessing
About the things
I can't control?
Why am I seeking approval
From people I
don't even know?
In these crazy times
I hope to find
Something I can cling on to
'Cause I need
some substance in my life
Something real
something that feels true
You better believe for you
I've cried
High tides
'Cause I want you so bad
But you can't fight
fire with fire
Oh, so I hope I learn myself
Stop trying
to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you
Love you for free
Everybody wants
something from me
You just want me
Listen I know
how low I can go
I give as good as I get
You get the brunt of it all
'Cause you're all
I've got left
Oh, I hope in time
We both will find
peace of mind
Sometimes the road
less traveled
Is a road best left behind
Well I hope
I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be
somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you,
love you for free, yeah
'Cause everybody
wants something from me
You just want me
You better believe I'm trying
To keep climbing
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're
both none the wiser
Thank you.
We've got some more questions,
Idris?
'Ello! Me name's Adele.
Adele, Adele.
- How are you? Oh my God.
- I'm good, how are you?
I'm amazing, hello, Adele!
Hello, Adele's band!
Yes!
I wanted to ask you
what your favorite biscuit was,
but my wife said
"Don't ask that."
- It's a cream custard.
- It's a stupid question.
So, the question
I really have for you is
that you've inspired singers,
you've created
incredible albums,
but what's the little
tiny moment that you've done
that you're very most proud of?
I feel like, to be honest,
I always feel a bit
of impostor syndrome,
with everything that I do...
No, I do! And that's fine.
I think it's probably
a good thing.
Imagine if I didn't think that,
I'd be horrible.
But one thing I am really,
really proud of,
and I can't remem... and I feel
like probably everyone
in my band and my team
know this, like,
I can't remember much of it,
cuz it was such a...
Headlining Glastonbury...
was like... I just
they had been
asking me for a while...
Not for that long, obviously,
cuz they asked me
at the end of "21"
and I was like, "Oh my God, no!"
I was not ready.
And I grew up going
to festivals,
so it was kinda quite sad for me
that I felt like
I couldn't do it.
So I said yes, actually,
when I was watching
Kanye headline
because he'd come on
and everyone just went mad,
and I was so excited.
I was like, I'm gonna do it!
I said it there
and then to Emily,
and I didn't think
I'd actually turn up.
Like, I drove there myself
on my own.
- There was torrential rain...
- What?!
Yeah! Listening to Spice Girls
the whole way,
like really trying to zone in...
No, for real.
And then I thought
I might die on the motorway,
driving meself back
because I couldn't see anything,
and the fact that I turned up
and actually got on the stage.
I was so scared
and I loved every minute of it.
- Yeah.
- Not that I remember it,
but I remember in the moment
just being like,
"this is amazing, like,"
so it was
definitely Glastonbury,
the fact that I said
I'd do it and I did.
Well, we love you!
We love you so much.
- You're amazing.
- Thank you, darling. Thank you.
Babes, what're you gonna say,
Alan?
- Right, 'ello love!
- 'Ello!
What's your question?
I'm nervous.
No! Listen, it's lovely.
Well, not really.
Famously, you write songs
about your exes.
If your exes
wrote a song about you.
What would it be called
and what would it sound like?
We wanna know everything.
Probably be called
"No One Like You," I imagine.
And also, I mean,
I can't imagine any of them
would ever really be able to do
it, because most of them like,
couldn't even do
a normal daily task, so,
let alone a song.
And stuff like that.
Most of them, not all of them.
So yeah, I don't think
they'd get away with it.
There's a fire
starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me
out the dark
Finally I can see you
crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out
and I'll lay your... 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 have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
Baby, I have no story
to be told
But I've heard one on you
And 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
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 have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
Here we go!
Throw your soul
through every open door
Count your blessings
to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow
into treasured gold
You'll pay me back in kind
and reap just what you've sown
I see you, Hakeem.
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all, it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
You could have had this all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
But you played it
You played it, played it
You played it to the beat
This song changed my...
Well, it changed my life and it
also saved me life a little bit.
It was the last song
that I wrote for this album,
and when I first started
writing it,
I hadn't realized
how far I was coming
over a sort of like 18-month
to two year period,
I hadn't been able to recognize
the progress
that I had been making.
But I wrote this and when I listened
back to it, I couldn't believe it!
I was like, you know, I couldn't
believe how far I had come
and it was amazing for me to
hear that in one of my songs
because there's been
a little bit of a disconnect
for me and my songs for a while
just because I find all
of this very terrifying.
But the song really moved me,
and it made me really proud
of myself,
and for a long time,
I listened to it a lot.
Just as a reminder of that...
I was recognizing
that I'm an absolute nightmare, basically.
But I love it very, very much,
and I hope you do too.
It's called "Hold On."
Hold on
You
are still strong
Love will soon come
Just hold, hold on
Oh, what have
I done yet again
Have I not learned anything
I don't want to
live in chaos
It's like a ride
that I want to get off
It's hard to hold onto
who I am
When I'm stumbling
in the dark for a hand
I am so tired of battling
with myself
With no chance to win
Hold on
Let
time be patient
You
are still strong
Let pain be gracious
Love
will soon come
Just hold, hold on
I swear to God
I am such a mess
The harder that I try
I regress
I'm my own worst enemy
Right now
I truly hate being me
Every day feels like
the road I'm on
Might just open up
and swallow me whole
How do I feel
so mighty small
When I'm struggling
to feel at all?
Just hold on
Let time be patient
You are still strong
Let pain be gracious
Ooh
Just hold, hold on
Sometimes loneliness
is the only rest we get
Just hold on just hold on
And the emptiness
actually lets us forget
Just hold on, just hold on
Sometimes forgiveness
is easiest in secret
So just hold on, ooh-ooh
Let time be patient
Let pain be gracious
Love will soon come, baby
If you just hold on
Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on
Just let time be patient
'Cause you're still strong
I'm still strong
Just be gracious
And love will soon come
If you just hold on, mmm
Just be patient,
just be patient
You just hold on,
you just hold on
You just hold on,
just hold on, just hold on
Just hold on, alright?
Thank you, you lot,
thank you all so much.
Thank you.
Thank you very, very much.
Alright, got some more
questions. Emma Thompson?
Oh, 'ello!
I've seen you
all night dancing!
You've been
dancing all night! Hi.
Hi, you look lovely.
Hello, girl.
This isn't my question.
It's a sort of sub-question,
but underneath
that beautiful frock,
are you actually wearing socks?
Oh! I'm wearing tights,
but they've fallen down
and they're all baggy
in the crotch.
Ah, that's why. I just...
Yeah.
Figured I'd wear tights,
I don't like singing
in high heels because...
- No, you can't, who can?
- Might fall over, yeah.
I thought
I couldn't love you more,
but now of course, I do.
Um...
So look, my question is:
When you were younger,
was there someone
who kind of supported you
or inspired you or sort of,
you know, protected you
from all the trials
and tribulations of life
and inspired you to go on?
Yeah, I had a teacher
at Chestnut Grove
who taught me English,
that was Miss McDonald.
Did you ever keep in touch?
Did you see...
No! She left
when I was in year eight.
She left when
I was in year eight, yeah.
But it was just one year,
but she was like,
she got me
really into literature.
I've always been obsessed
with English
and obviously now,
I write lyrics,
but she also did street dance.
I was too scared to join,
but like in the canteen,
they used to do these dances
and stuff like that,
but yeah, she just...
She was so bloody cool,
so engaging
and she really made us care
and we knew that she cared
about us and it was just...
She used to have all these
gold bracelets on
and gold sig rings.
I don't know,
she was just bloody cool.
And so relatable and likeable
that I really looked forward
to my English lessons.
Yeah, cuz it's odd actually.
Funny enough.
Is she here?
Is Miss McDonald here?
She's here tonight.
Hi.
Hello, my darling!
- Hello!
- Hi!
McDONALD: Oh my God,
I'm so proud of you.
I didn't know that
you were coming!
That's okay! It was supposed
to be a surprise.
- Hi! How are you?
- I'm good.
Oh, you look exactly the same!
You look exactly the same!
Are you still teaching?
- No, no.
- What do you do now? Just dancing?
No, I'm just looking
after my family.
Oh my God!
Sorry.
McDONALD: Don't cry. Thank you.
- I didn't know you were coming!
- Thank you for remembering me.
Oh my God, no.
You really did change my life.
Mum! Mum, can you believe it?
She's over there,
she doesn't want to be filmed.
Oh, now I gotta get
me whole face redone.
Oh my God, how are you?
- I haven't seen you since I was like, 12.
- I'm good.
Do you have kids,
what are you doing?
Yeah, I've got two kids,
Skye and Hayden.
Hi, guys!
Oh my God!
I'm so happy you're here!
Can I get your number
from them or something?
Yes, of course. Of course.
Yeah. Oh, alright.
I gotta get me make-up
fixed, bye Miss.
Bye, darling. Thank you.
Still got all my books, ya know,
I've got all my books
from when you were my teacher.
I'm gonna need my face touched.
Alan, d'you wanna
come talk for five minutes
while I fixes me face.
No, for real!
Sing us a song, play "Make You Feel
My Love" and get Alan to sing it.
No! No!
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
This goes out to all the lovers,
tonight.
When the rain is...
And there's no one there...
To dry your face
I...offer you
a warm embrace
And make you feel
my love
Oh, thank you!
If anyone, any teacher
who knew me walked in...
Wanted to have a chat with me...
Thanks for doing that.
Oh, you're sweaty now.
I love you too.
Oh, sorry about that.
Now that's a true friend.
This is an oldie.
I let it fall my heart
And as it fell
you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips
and you saved me
My hands they were strong
But my knees
were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew,
never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true,
never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win,
always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour
as I touched your face
Well it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name
Your name
When laying with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
feel you here forever
You and me together
nothing is better
But there's a side to you
That I never knew,
never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true,
never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win,
always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour
as I touched your face
Well it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us
into the flames
When we fell something died
'Cause I knew that
that was the last time
The last time
Sometimes I wake up
by the door
That heart you caught
must be waiting for you
Even now
when we're already over
I can't help myself
from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour
as I touched your face
Well it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us
into the flames
When we fell something died
'Cause I knew that
that was the last time
The last time
Ooh
Ooh, no
Let it burn
Ooh
Let it burn
Let it burn
It's always a bit touch
or go, that big note at the end.
Sometimes I get it,
sometimes I don't.
Stormzy, you got a question
for me?
I'm excited. Hello, darling.
How are you?
- What's happenin', Adele?
- Nice to see you!
A lot of people get awkward
when they meet their idols.
Is there anyone you've met
that you got awkward with?
Oh, for sure.
Also, can we just say
that last time
I was doing an album
was when we first met,
wasn't it?
Was when you came to watch
at the O2 and I dedicated...
And I was super awkward
when I met you.
I thought you were pretty chill!
Look at us now!
- Look at us!
- Look at us!
We're super close actually,
me and Stormz.
I won't go into detail, because
we're both very private people,
But we had
a real moment, didn't we?
With like, the ocean and God,
and all sorts last summer, it was
absolutely... No, we did! Truly.
We felt a presence around
us and we both were like,
- "Let's go get life."
- Yeah.
Yes, actually. Only really one.
Stevie Nicks, right?
So I'm a very
big Fleetwood Mac fan,
and I'm just obsessed with her
melodies and stuff like that,
but I felt pretty chill
about going to see them.
It was for one of my birthdays.
I can't remember, they were
playing the O2 years ago,
The minute I saw her,
I burst into tears.
Like, it was so
bloody embarrassing.
Like, snob crying.
I was so... I was getting
more and more upset
that I was crying
in front of Stevie Nicks
and she sort of had
to go into icon mode
and be like, "Oh, it's alright."
I think she thought
I was a right wally,
but yeah,
that's the only time I feel like
I've really, really really
been starstruck and awkward.
I also don't know what I'd do if I
ever met The Rock Dwayne Johnson,
because I've been obsessed
with him since I was like, 10.
But yeah, it was
definitely Stevie Nicks.
Nice to see you, darling.
Thank you for coming.
I know we have some
amazing people on the middle.
Hi, guys! Hi!
Got health care workers,
key workers,
firefighters, got Grenfell,
oi, oi!
'Ello, darlings! Hi!
So glad you could come!
Aww, 'ello, 'ello, 'ello!
Right!
I heard that
you're settled down
That you found a girl
and you're married now
I heard that
your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Old friend why
are you so shy
Ain't like you to hold back
or hide from the light
I hate to turn up
out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away
I couldn't fight it
I had hoped
you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded
that for me it isn't over
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday
was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
of our glory days
I hate to turn up
out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away
I couldn't fight it
I had hoped
you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded
that for me it isn't over yet
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Nothing compares,
no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
they're memories made
Who would have known how
bittersweet this would taste
Nevermind,
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Nevermind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Yeah, yeah
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
This is called
"Love is a Game."
Thank you for coming.
All your expectations
Of my love are impossible
Surely you know
That I'm not easy to hold
It's so sad how incapable
Of learning to grow I am
My heart speaks
in puzzle and codes
I've been trying
my whole life to solve
God only knows
how I've cried
I can't take another defeat
A next time would be
the ending of me
Now that I see
That love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
What a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
How unbelievable
Of me to fall
for the lies that I tell?
Lies I tell
The dream that I sell
Dream I sell
When my heartache
it's inevitable
But I'm no good
at doing it well
Not that I care
I don't care
Why should anything about it
be fair?
When love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
When love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
No amount of love
Can keep me satisfied
Satisfied, satisfied
I can't keep up
I can't keep up
When I keep changing my mind
Change my mind
change my mind
The feelings flood me
To the heights
of no compromise
Love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
Thank you very much for coming!
Give it up for my band!
Give it up for the girls!
Give it up for production!
Thank you all for coming!
You're a right laugh!
You were so up for it!
Such a big fan of all of you!
I was so glad you could make it!
Georgie, I love you!
Adele? Coming back?
I'm just so excited to see
one of the greatest singers
of all time.
Oh my God!
The atmosphere is electric.
Everyone is gagging
for a bit of Adele.
She is gifted, beyond gifted.
I'm thrilled to be here.
This is a house of love for her tonight.
So it's gonna be wonderful.
I feel really honored to be
a part of it, it's great.
We've all been wondering
what she's been recording.
Finally, we're gonna hear it
live for the first time,
so yeah,
it's a really big moment.
We're gonna be amongst
the first people in the world
to hear these songs,
it's really special.
I think she's one
of the great originals,
she has the most
phenomenal voice.
Everything she sings
is from the heart,
and that's just a true
superstar, really.
She is the master at it,
so I'm excited to see that.
This is the hottest ticket in town.
I actually can't believe it.
What a night.
And I literally can't wait.
I've been walking in
the same way
As I did
Missing out the cracks
in the pavement
And strutting my heel
and tutting my feet
Is there anything
I can do for you dear
Is there anyone I could call
No and thank
you please Madam
I ain't lost just wandering
'Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
'Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders
of this world
Are the wonders of now
I like it in the city when
the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody
in short skirts
Shorts and shades
I like it in the city
when two worlds collide
You get the people
and the government
Everybody taking
different sides
Shows that we
ain't gonna stand
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't
gonna take it
Shows that we ain't
gonna stand
Shows that we are united
'Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
'Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met, yeah
Yeah
Do-da-da-da-da, yeah
Are the wonders of my world
You are the wonders
of my world
Are the wonders
of this world
Are the wonders...
...of my world
Of my world, yeah
Of my world
Of my world
Yeah
Hello, it's me
I was wondering
if after all these years
You'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's
supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done
much healing
Hello can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming
about who we used to be
When we were
younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt
Before the world
fell at our feet
There's such a difference
between us
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must've called
a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say
that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't
tear you apart anymore
Hello how are you
It's so typical of me
to talk about myself
I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it
out of that town
Where nothing ever happened
It's no secret
that the both of us
Are running
out of time...
So hello from the other side
I must've called
a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call,
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say
that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't
tear you apart anymore
Ooh anymore
Ooh anymore
Ooh anymore
Anymore
Hello from the other side
I must've called
a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry
for everything that I've done
But when I call
you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say
that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry
for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't
tear you apart anymore
Hi!
Hello!
Hello to you lot there!
Hello!
Oh, guys!
I got really emotional
when I come 'round
the bend up there!
Oh dear, I haven't
been home for so long
and I haven't played
a show here for so long.
How are you all?
You lot are way more raucous
than them lot down 'ere, obviously.
So we're all on the telly,
which is gonna be very exciting.
I'm actually such a... hang on.
Let me have a little...
May I get a hot honey?
That's a chamomile.
I'm not a diva. Anyway...
Gotta get me breath back.
I'm very, very nervous. Um...
I...
Of course I bloody am!
Anyway... I am!
I'm such a big fan
of an Audience With.
It used to be, like,
the highlight of me life
whenever it was on,
so I'm so thrilled
to be doing it tonight.
Really excited.
Very, very excited.
And we're gonna take
some questions actually,
which I'm very excited about.
Dawn French, where are...
Hi, I love you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi, well, tonight is
all about you, Adele,
so I want to ask you
when you are going
to write a song about me?
No, that is not my question.
That is not my question.
Your music is so relatable,
do you have tons of people
coming up to you
to tell you all
about their break-ups
and their relationship issues?
To be hones... Ooh!
Someone found that funny!
To be honest, when I'm not,
you know, in singing mode,
you know, which is
most of my life, obviously...
Not much, but you know, at
a party or something like that,
someone will have a drink
and then come over
and tell me their
whole relationship history
and I'm just trying
to have a laugh.
And you know, sometimes
if I get to meet my fans
and stuff like that,
especially on
the tour last time,
I loved going into the crowd
and meeting people,
and some of the stories
were wild!
Like, you know, they really
credited me for like,
either getting them through
or making them kick him out,
you know, and stuff like that.
So kinda, yeah.
Why? You alright?
All good.
Good. I must say,
you look absolutely amazing!
- So do you!
- Thank you, darling. Thank you.
Alright! Hollywood... Samuel L.
Jackson, where are you?
- Hey!
- Hi!
- Hey!
- What was your question?
My question is:
Have you ever used your
"Adele-ity" to get out
of a ticket?
- I can't believe you drive, first of all, or...
- I do!
- Do you?
- Of course, I do!
Well, have you used
your "Adele-ity"
to get out of any other
precarious situation?
Well, one time, on the 401,
Samuel L. Jackson.
When I first moved L.A...
Which, by the way, was never
meant to be as long as it is.
But when I first moved there,
I'd never really driven there,
and I was in the fast lane,
like in the far left lane,
not going that fast, there was
actually quite a lot of traffic,
and I was in a rental,
and the windows were
tinted a bit too dark,
but I didn't know that,
you know.
Anyways, I was minding
my own business,
and then suddenly,
a police car pulls up behind me
and, you know, he's like basically hinting
that I need to pull over or whatever,
so I just stopped where I was,
I didn't know...
I'd never been
pulled over in my life.
So I pulled over in the carpool
lane, they call it, don't they?
He comes on that like, that tannoy on top
of the car, screaming at me, being like,
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Pull off! Pull off!"
So I followed him,
and we went off.
I was just on my way
to the supermarket, actually.
I was living my best life.
He pulls me over,
I wind all the windows down,
as I've been taught
to do before...
Especially if you're getting
pulled over in America,
you never know what they're gonna do.
And... I gave him my British
driver's license,
Which might as well have been
like a Blockbuster card.
Like, he's never seen it before.
Also, looks nothing like me.
It's like me when I was like 17.
Goes back...
You know, I'm English,
I'm just here for a bit,
like, blah blah blah, you know,
proving that it's real,
and then he goes back to the car
and comes back
and he's on the phone
with his wife
who's screaming at him on the
phone for pulling me over.
He's like,
"I'm so sorry, Adele."
"Sorry. Do whatever it is
you need to do."
And I got away with it!
I was shaking the whole way
to Bristol Farms.
It was hilarious!
But yes, so I did. Kind of.
I didn't mean to,
I was ready to go to jail.
But...
But he was... well,
she saved the day, really.
Anyone that's ever
come to one of my shows before,
you know there's not
that many chances
to have a little shoulder
boogie or anything like that,
cuz most of them
are sad and miserable,
So... But if you want to,
this is, you know,
it's only chance to dance.
So enjoy!
This was all you
none of it me
You put your hands
all over my body
And told me
Mmm
You told me you were ready
For the big one
for the big jump
I'd be your last love
Everlasting, you and me
Mmm
That was what you told me
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
I was too strong,
you were trembling
You couldn't handle
the hot heat rising
- Rising
- Mmm
Baby I'm still rising
I was running
you were walking
You couldn't keep up
you were falling down
- Down
- Mmm
There's only one way down
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, ooh
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
If you're ready
if you're ready
If you're ready I am ready
If you're ready
if you're ready
We both know
we ain't kids no more
No we ain't kids no more
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
Send my love to
your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go
of all of our ghosts
We both know
we ain't kids no more
If you're ready
if you're ready
If you're ready I am ready
If you're ready
if you're ready
If you're ready I am ready
No, we ain't kids no more
Next one!
Try and help me sing along...
Sing along with this one
for me as well, will ya?
There ain't no gold
in this river
That I've been washin'
my hands in forever
I know there is hope
in these waters
But I can't bring
myself to swim
When I am drowning
in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child...
One more time,
I'm myself.
I'm really scared!
There ain't no gold
in this river
That I've been washin'
my hands in forever
I know there is hope
in these waters
But I can't bring
myself to swim
When I am drowning
in this silence
Baby, let me in
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
There ain't no room
for things to change
When we are both so
deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny
how hard I have tried
I changed who I was
to put you both first
But now I give up
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy
On me
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably
doesn't even show
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
Thank you.
You are so kind.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you so much. So kind.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'm excited but nervous
to sing like new songs.
They've been finished
for quite a while
but there's something
about that one
that just scares
the life out of me.
So I don't just like,
wallow in meself.
Alright, Gareth Southgate.
Where are yo...
Oh, hello!
Hi!
Yes, well done.
It was bloody wonderful watching
everything in the summer.
It was the best. How are ya?
I'm good,
thank you for your support.
We saw all the videos
of your getting quite...
- Hit me 'ead on a cupboard and
nearly passed out! -
- So we're supposed to be about collaboration...
- Yes.
Sometimes we get that right.
Of everybody in here tonight,
who would you most
like to collaborate with?
Probably put me
on a blind date, then?
I'm gonna say Daniel Kaluuya.
Obviously, I'm not an actress,
but I just think you are
the greatest actor,
I really, really do.
I'm mesmerized by you
and your work,
and I'd love to just be...
Or even just watch
you work one day,
cuz I feel like I'd learn a lot.
Yes, and you.
If you want to sign me
as a footballer, you know.
We'll take ya.
Okay, Hannah? Where are you, Hannah?
Right, superstar!
- Bonsoir, Mademoiselle...
- Oh my gosh, sorry, hello. Bonsoir,hello.
- Sorry.
- You look breathtaking.
- Congratulations on everything.
- Thank you so much.
- It's literally my favorite show.
- Thank you, thank you!
Give her a round
of applause!
Listen.
You are so rightly idolized
all around the world,
but I just wanted to know
who are your idols, and why?
Beyonc!
You know I love me some
Beyonc, but
You know, my idols,
and I'm about so say,
I can't really compare
anything I do to Beyonc,
just because
it's like night and day,
and she's just heavenly...
But I couldn't
also really compar...
D'ya know what? Beyonc's
one of me favorites, guys.
She's not one of me idols.
Don't come for me.
I always say,
like, Bette Midler,
Barbara Streisand, for sure.
And they're definitely like,
unreachable in every way,
but just the humor,
and just that I feel like
I have that in common with them.
You know,
it's like slightly like,
everyone likes to sing
sad songs but then like,
you talk dirty and all that.
But no one sings their face off
like you, my friend.
Oh, thank you.
It's just cuz I can't
breath properly in this dress.
- Magnificent.
- Thank you, my love.
Again, congratulations
on everything.
Thank you. Likewise.
Yeah, like Barbara and Bette,
and Celine Dion,
she's a joker and all,
isn't she?
We announced the, you know, tracklist
for the album the other day,
and someone told me that
this one caused quite a stir
because it's called
"I Drink Wine."
Which was just
a joke that stuck,
and it ended up becoming
the name of the song.
But it's a song about
really growing up, I think.
I feel like a lot of people
will relate to the lyrics of it.
I'm sort of asking
someone a question,
but I also feel like
it's us all asking each other
and asking ourselves
the questions.
But it's definitely
one of me favorites,
so I hope you like it.
How can one
become so bounded
By choices that somebody
else makes?
How come we've both
become a version
Of a person
we don't even like?
We're in love with the world
But the world just wants
to bring us down
By putting ideas
in our heads
That corrupt
our hearts somehow
When I was a child
Every single thing
could blow my mind
Soaking it all up for fun
But now I only soak up wine
They say to play hard
you work hard
Find balance in
the sacrifice
Yet I don't know anybody
who's truly satisfied
You better believe I'm
trying to keep climbing
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're both
none the wiser
So I hope I learn
to get over myself
Stop trying
to be somebody else
So we can love
each other for free
Everybody wants something
You just want me
Why am I obsessing
About the things
I can't control?
Why am I seeking approval
From people I
don't even know?
In these crazy times
I hope to find
Something I can cling on to
'Cause I need
some substance in my life
Something real
something that feels true
You better believe for you
I've cried
High tides
'Cause I want you so bad
But you can't fight
fire with fire
Oh, so I hope I learn myself
Stop trying
to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you
Love you for free
Everybody wants
something from me
You just want me
Listen I know
how low I can go
I give as good as I get
You get the brunt of it all
'Cause you're all
I've got left
Oh, I hope in time
We both will find
peace of mind
Sometimes the road
less traveled
Is a road best left behind
Well I hope
I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be
somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you,
love you for free, yeah
'Cause everybody
wants something from me
You just want me
You better believe I'm trying
To keep climbing
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're
both none the wiser
Thank you.
We've got some more questions,
Idris?
'Ello! Me name's Adele.
Adele, Adele.
- How are you? Oh my God.
- I'm good, how are you?
I'm amazing, hello, Adele!
Hello, Adele's band!
Yes!
I wanted to ask you
what your favorite biscuit was,
but my wife said
"Don't ask that."
- It's a cream custard.
- It's a stupid question.
So, the question
I really have for you is
that you've inspired singers,
you've created
incredible albums,
but what's the little
tiny moment that you've done
that you're very most proud of?
I feel like, to be honest,
I always feel a bit
of impostor syndrome,
with everything that I do...
No, I do! And that's fine.
I think it's probably
a good thing.
Imagine if I didn't think that,
I'd be horrible.
But one thing I am really,
really proud of,
and I can't remem... and I feel
like probably everyone
in my band and my team
know this, like,
I can't remember much of it,
cuz it was such a...
Headlining Glastonbury...
was like... I just
they had been
asking me for a while...
Not for that long, obviously,
cuz they asked me
at the end of "21"
and I was like, "Oh my God, no!"
I was not ready.
And I grew up going
to festivals,
so it was kinda quite sad for me
that I felt like
I couldn't do it.
So I said yes, actually,
when I was watching
Kanye headline
because he'd come on
and everyone just went mad,
and I was so excited.
I was like, I'm gonna do it!
I said it there
and then to Emily,
and I didn't think
I'd actually turn up.
Like, I drove there myself
on my own.
- There was torrential rain...
- What?!
Yeah! Listening to Spice Girls
the whole way,
like really trying to zone in...
No, for real.
And then I thought
I might die on the motorway,
driving meself back
because I couldn't see anything,
and the fact that I turned up
and actually got on the stage.
I was so scared
and I loved every minute of it.
- Yeah.
- Not that I remember it,
but I remember in the moment
just being like,
"this is amazing, like,"
so it was
definitely Glastonbury,
the fact that I said
I'd do it and I did.
Well, we love you!
We love you so much.
- You're amazing.
- Thank you, darling. Thank you.
Babes, what're you gonna say,
Alan?
- Right, 'ello love!
- 'Ello!
What's your question?
I'm nervous.
No! Listen, it's lovely.
Well, not really.
Famously, you write songs
about your exes.
If your exes
wrote a song about you.
What would it be called
and what would it sound like?
We wanna know everything.
Probably be called
"No One Like You," I imagine.
And also, I mean,
I can't imagine any of them
would ever really be able to do
it, because most of them like,
couldn't even do
a normal daily task, so,
let alone a song.
And stuff like that.
Most of them, not all of them.
So yeah, I don't think
they'd get away with it.
There's a fire
starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me
out the dark
Finally I can see you
crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out
and I'll lay your... 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 have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
Baby, I have no story
to be told
But I've heard one on you
And 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
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 have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
Here we go!
Throw your soul
through every open door
Count your blessings
to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow
into treasured gold
You'll pay me back in kind
and reap just what you've sown
I see you, Hakeem.
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all, it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
And you played
it to the beat
You could have had this all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
But you played it
You played it, played it
You played it to the beat
This song changed my...
Well, it changed my life and it
also saved me life a little bit.
It was the last song
that I wrote for this album,
and when I first started
writing it,
I hadn't realized
how far I was coming
over a sort of like 18-month
to two year period,
I hadn't been able to recognize
the progress
that I had been making.
But I wrote this and when I listened
back to it, I couldn't believe it!
I was like, you know, I couldn't
believe how far I had come
and it was amazing for me to
hear that in one of my songs
because there's been
a little bit of a disconnect
for me and my songs for a while
just because I find all
of this very terrifying.
But the song really moved me,
and it made me really proud
of myself,
and for a long time,
I listened to it a lot.
Just as a reminder of that...
I was recognizing
that I'm an absolute nightmare, basically.
But I love it very, very much,
and I hope you do too.
It's called "Hold On."
Hold on
You
are still strong
Love will soon come
Just hold, hold on
Oh, what have
I done yet again
Have I not learned anything
I don't want to
live in chaos
It's like a ride
that I want to get off
It's hard to hold onto
who I am
When I'm stumbling
in the dark for a hand
I am so tired of battling
with myself
With no chance to win
Hold on
Let
time be patient
You
are still strong
Let pain be gracious
Love
will soon come
Just hold, hold on
I swear to God
I am such a mess
The harder that I try
I regress
I'm my own worst enemy
Right now
I truly hate being me
Every day feels like
the road I'm on
Might just open up
and swallow me whole
How do I feel
so mighty small
When I'm struggling
to feel at all?
Just hold on
Let time be patient
You are still strong
Let pain be gracious
Ooh
Just hold, hold on
Sometimes loneliness
is the only rest we get
Just hold on just hold on
And the emptiness
actually lets us forget
Just hold on, just hold on
Sometimes forgiveness
is easiest in secret
So just hold on, ooh-ooh
Let time be patient
Let pain be gracious
Love will soon come, baby
If you just hold on
Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on
Just let time be patient
'Cause you're still strong
I'm still strong
Just be gracious
And love will soon come
If you just hold on, mmm
Just be patient,
just be patient
You just hold on,
you just hold on
You just hold on,
just hold on, just hold on
Just hold on, alright?
Thank you, you lot,
thank you all so much.
Thank you.
Thank you very, very much.
Alright, got some more
questions. Emma Thompson?
Oh, 'ello!
I've seen you
all night dancing!
You've been
dancing all night! Hi.
Hi, you look lovely.
Hello, girl.
This isn't my question.
It's a sort of sub-question,
but underneath
that beautiful frock,
are you actually wearing socks?
Oh! I'm wearing tights,
but they've fallen down
and they're all baggy
in the crotch.
Ah, that's why. I just...
Yeah.
Figured I'd wear tights,
I don't like singing
in high heels because...
- No, you can't, who can?
- Might fall over, yeah.
I thought
I couldn't love you more,
but now of course, I do.
Um...
So look, my question is:
When you were younger,
was there someone
who kind of supported you
or inspired you or sort of,
you know, protected you
from all the trials
and tribulations of life
and inspired you to go on?
Yeah, I had a teacher
at Chestnut Grove
who taught me English,
that was Miss McDonald.
Did you ever keep in touch?
Did you see...
No! She left
when I was in year eight.
She left when
I was in year eight, yeah.
But it was just one year,
but she was like,
she got me
really into literature.
I've always been obsessed
with English
and obviously now,
I write lyrics,
but she also did street dance.
I was too scared to join,
but like in the canteen,
they used to do these dances
and stuff like that,
but yeah, she just...
She was so bloody cool,
so engaging
and she really made us care
and we knew that she cared
about us and it was just...
She used to have all these
gold bracelets on
and gold sig rings.
I don't know,
she was just bloody cool.
And so relatable and likeable
that I really looked forward
to my English lessons.
Yeah, cuz it's odd actually.
Funny enough.
Is she here?
Is Miss McDonald here?
She's here tonight.
Hi.
Hello, my darling!
- Hello!
- Hi!
McDONALD: Oh my God,
I'm so proud of you.
I didn't know that
you were coming!
That's okay! It was supposed
to be a surprise.
- Hi! How are you?
- I'm good.
Oh, you look exactly the same!
You look exactly the same!
Are you still teaching?
- No, no.
- What do you do now? Just dancing?
No, I'm just looking
after my family.
Oh my God!
Sorry.
McDONALD: Don't cry. Thank you.
- I didn't know you were coming!
- Thank you for remembering me.
Oh my God, no.
You really did change my life.
Mum! Mum, can you believe it?
She's over there,
she doesn't want to be filmed.
Oh, now I gotta get
me whole face redone.
Oh my God, how are you?
- I haven't seen you since I was like, 12.
- I'm good.
Do you have kids,
what are you doing?
Yeah, I've got two kids,
Skye and Hayden.
Hi, guys!
Oh my God!
I'm so happy you're here!
Can I get your number
from them or something?
Yes, of course. Of course.
Yeah. Oh, alright.
I gotta get me make-up
fixed, bye Miss.
Bye, darling. Thank you.
Still got all my books, ya know,
I've got all my books
from when you were my teacher.
I'm gonna need my face touched.
Alan, d'you wanna
come talk for five minutes
while I fixes me face.
No, for real!
Sing us a song, play "Make You Feel
My Love" and get Alan to sing it.
No! No!
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
This goes out to all the lovers,
tonight.
When the rain is...
And there's no one there...
To dry your face
I...offer you
a warm embrace
And make you feel
my love
Oh, thank you!
If anyone, any teacher
who knew me walked in...
Wanted to have a chat with me...
Thanks for doing that.
Oh, you're sweaty now.
I love you too.
Oh, sorry about that.
Now that's a true friend.
This is an oldie.
I let it fall my heart
And as it fell
you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips
and you saved me
My hands they were strong
But my knees
were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew,
never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true,
never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win,
always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour
as I touched your face
Well it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name
Your name
When laying with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
feel you here forever
You and me together
nothing is better
But there's a side to you
That I never knew,
never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true,
never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win,
always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour
as I touched your face
Well it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us
into the flames
When we fell something died
'Cause I knew that
that was the last time
The last time
Sometimes I wake up
by the door
That heart you caught
must be waiting for you
Even now
when we're already over
I can't help myself
from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour
as I touched your face
Well it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us
into the flames
When we fell something died
'Cause I knew that
that was the last time
The last time
Ooh
Ooh, no
Let it burn
Ooh
Let it burn
Let it burn
It's always a bit touch
or go, that big note at the end.
Sometimes I get it,
sometimes I don't.
Stormzy, you got a question
for me?
I'm excited. Hello, darling.
How are you?
- What's happenin', Adele?
- Nice to see you!
A lot of people get awkward
when they meet their idols.
Is there anyone you've met
that you got awkward with?
Oh, for sure.
Also, can we just say
that last time
I was doing an album
was when we first met,
wasn't it?
Was when you came to watch
at the O2 and I dedicated...
And I was super awkward
when I met you.
I thought you were pretty chill!
Look at us now!
- Look at us!
- Look at us!
We're super close actually,
me and Stormz.
I won't go into detail, because
we're both very private people,
But we had
a real moment, didn't we?
With like, the ocean and God,
and all sorts last summer, it was
absolutely... No, we did! Truly.
We felt a presence around
us and we both were like,
- "Let's go get life."
- Yeah.
Yes, actually. Only really one.
Stevie Nicks, right?
So I'm a very
big Fleetwood Mac fan,
and I'm just obsessed with her
melodies and stuff like that,
but I felt pretty chill
about going to see them.
It was for one of my birthdays.
I can't remember, they were
playing the O2 years ago,
The minute I saw her,
I burst into tears.
Like, it was so
bloody embarrassing.
Like, snob crying.
I was so... I was getting
more and more upset
that I was crying
in front of Stevie Nicks
and she sort of had
to go into icon mode
and be like, "Oh, it's alright."
I think she thought
I was a right wally,
but yeah,
that's the only time I feel like
I've really, really really
been starstruck and awkward.
I also don't know what I'd do if I
ever met The Rock Dwayne Johnson,
because I've been obsessed
with him since I was like, 10.
But yeah, it was
definitely Stevie Nicks.
Nice to see you, darling.
Thank you for coming.
I know we have some
amazing people on the middle.
Hi, guys! Hi!
Got health care workers,
key workers,
firefighters, got Grenfell,
oi, oi!
'Ello, darlings! Hi!
So glad you could come!
Aww, 'ello, 'ello, 'ello!
Right!
I heard that
you're settled down
That you found a girl
and you're married now
I heard that
your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Old friend why
are you so shy
Ain't like you to hold back
or hide from the light
I hate to turn up
out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away
I couldn't fight it
I had hoped
you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded
that for me it isn't over
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday
was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
of our glory days
I hate to turn up
out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away
I couldn't fight it
I had hoped
you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded
that for me it isn't over yet
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Nothing compares,
no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
they're memories made
Who would have known how
bittersweet this would taste
Nevermind,
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Nevermind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing
but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Yeah, yeah
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
This is called
"Love is a Game."
Thank you for coming.
All your expectations
Of my love are impossible
Surely you know
That I'm not easy to hold
It's so sad how incapable
Of learning to grow I am
My heart speaks
in puzzle and codes
I've been trying
my whole life to solve
God only knows
how I've cried
I can't take another defeat
A next time would be
the ending of me
Now that I see
That love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
What a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
How unbelievable
Of me to fall
for the lies that I tell?
Lies I tell
The dream that I sell
Dream I sell
When my heartache
it's inevitable
But I'm no good
at doing it well
Not that I care
I don't care
Why should anything about it
be fair?
When love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
When love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
No amount of love
Can keep me satisfied
Satisfied, satisfied
I can't keep up
I can't keep up
When I keep changing my mind
Change my mind
change my mind
The feelings flood me
To the heights
of no compromise
Love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game
for fools to play
And I ain't fooling
what a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
Thank you very much for coming!
Give it up for my band!
Give it up for the girls!
Give it up for production!
Thank you all for coming!
You're a right laugh!
You were so up for it!
Such a big fan of all of you!
I was so glad you could make it!
Georgie, I love you!
