Feeling love

It's already 12 years since Adele burst onto the music scene with her album entitled "19", her age at the time. She went on to become one of the biggest-selling artists in the world,with albums  "21" and "25" and the theme song from Bond movie "Skyfall", though we haven't heard much from her in recent years.  

On her first album was a song called "Make You Feel My Love", written by Bob Dylan originally, which became a favourite.   The joys and pains of love are the main themes of her songs, something we can all relate to. You can even give this one a religious application, and put the words of the song into the mouth of Jesus, as we did one year for the Confirmation class.  It takes on quite an impact then.  Try it as you listen along to a young woman aged 19. 

When the rain is blowing in your face    

And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace    

To make you feel my love
 

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

 

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

 

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

 

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

 

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, to make you feel my love
