Teletubby 150,180 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Adele is opening up about the inspiration behind her new album, 30. The Grammy award-winning singer, 33, sat down for a conversation with Oprah Winfrey as part of her Adele One Night Only special, which premieres Sunday. The clip begins with Oprah reading a verse from "Hold On" aloud as she and Adele sit in her rose garden. "Sounds like you were in the dark, dark, dark hours there, I swear to god,' you say, 'I am such a mess. The harder that I try, I regress I am my own worst enemy Right now I truly hate being me Everyday 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.' " After finishing the verse, Oprah compliments Adele, telling her, "Girl, you can write." "Oh, thank you, thank you," Adele replies. "What was going on there? What was happening?," Oprah asks. "How did you keep the faith when you were at your lowest point? What were you holding on to?" Adele explains in the clip that the song was inspired by advice she received from friends during some of her lowest points. Adele's 30 is partially inspired by the singer's divorce from her ex-husband, Simon Konecki, with whom she shares her nine-year-old son, Angelo. "My friends always would say, 'Hold on' when I would feel like … the lyrics in the verse. But it was just exhausting trying to keep going with it," she tells Oprah. "It's a process. You know, the process of a divorce, the process of being a single parent. The process of not seeing your child every single day wasn't really a plan that I had when I became a mum. The process of arriving for yourself every day, turning up for yourself every single day and still running a home, running a business." She adds: "So many people know what I'm talking about and I feel like that as well. I juggle those things as well. And I just felt like not doing it anymore. And also trying to ... move forward, but like with intention. Not just trying to get out of it for no reason. My feet hurt walking through all of that concrete." source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
