Raw talent indeed - this is one of my favourite of her performances, it's so honest and unpolished that you realise just how good her songwriting and voice are!
Something so pure and deep about Adele here. We all grow and change, but this time in her life was special musically. She'd do well to do more singer-songwriter songs with her acoustic guitar and that jazzy, bluesy, intimate singing style. So good...
So the story behind this video goes like this..... I was a fan of a blind guitarist called Raul Midon! Is decided to go see him live in London which was awesome as he was popular in America. The venue was a church in London and Adele was his support. She sang this song and a few others. After her set she walked past me down the middle of the church and I just had to follow to tell her just how amazing she was. She pulled a cab of Stella from her long coat and had a lovely chat with me! After I kept in contact and followed her around a few venues. She told me she performed for Jools but the RU-vid video got removed for some reason. I promised I would find and upload it for her and here we are 😂 I no longer have contact with her but wish her all the best!
I've just discovered Adele! Absolutely LOVE her!! What an amazing voice and a beautiful young lady!!! She is so young, but she has an old soul. She is INCREDIBLE.
Absolutely fantastic performance! I remember witnessing this performance as it happened. Never heard of her before but was just mesmerised by this angelic looking girl with the amazing voice! I remember telling my wife the next day I'd seen a potential big star of the future. Whether I would have imagined she'd turn out to be the biggest selling music artist worldwide like she is at present I don't know. Fantastic singer, deserved HUGE SUCCESS!
I watched this show, the next morning I phoned my cousin to tell him that Adele will be the greatest singer of all time, i was so blown away by this performance, beautiful and amazing.
She is so strong. You can tell this song brings up some serious memories for her, yet here she is, singing them in a way only she can, to make the world happy. She pushes through the pain...valiantly. Look at her eyes :'( Inspiration!
I have listened to music for 50 years.Heard the greats..Jeff and Tim Buckley. Joni Mitchell. Marvin , Lennon , Amy ..but shes is so talented..it was effortless ….
this is the first video that i saw of her back in 08. this is where my obsession started. she makes my love of music that much stronger. i am glad that everyone enjoys her as much as i do!
I love this girl! I love how she can combine a more soulful voice with a clear, sweet sound (on this song in particular) that reminds me of early Joni Mitchell. Absolutely lovely.
I am a fan of old school soul and jazz singers. Adele has got a set of pipes like I never heard before. Billie has more pain, Ella has more range, Etta has more desire, but roll them all together and Adele is up there with them all if you view it as a total package. All of the sons from this session are far and away better than just about anything else I have heard in the last 10 years. A few exceptions, but this.is.just.superb.
I had never heard of her when I saw this. But I knew instantly that she was a major talent, a unique talent and would go places. Still love this song, and her performance..
I love this womans voice. I could listen to it all day. I cant wait for the album to drop. I really hope she releases an unplugged album too. Shes to talented!
LYRICS Daydreamer Sitting on the sea Soaking up the sun He is a real lover Of making up the past And feeling up his girl Like he's never felt her figure before A jaw dropper Looks good when he walks Is the subject of their talk He would be hard to chase But good to catch And he could change the world With his hands behind his back, oh You can find him sittin' on your doorstep Waiting for a surprise And he will feel like he's been there for hours And you can tell that he'll be there for life Daydreamer With eyes that make you melt He lends his coat for shelter Plus he's there for you When he shouldn't be But he stays all the same Waits for you Then sees you through There's no way I Could describe him What I'll say is Just what I'm hoping for But I will find him sittin' on my doorstep Waiting for a surprise And he will feel like he's been there for hours And I can tell that he'll be there for life And I can tell that he'll be there for life
ADELE!!!! i found her on myspace one day, fell in love, added THIS SONG to my page(it stayed there until she removed it from the site), and sent her a message prasing her loveliness(to which she promptly replied and made my day. she's very modest) i'm so glad that her career is doing so well but mostly, i hope she's happy and glad to b sharing her gem of a talent with the world!! blessings to u adele!!! whew! i can breathe now... :)
i so blatantly favourit-ed this! everytime i hera it, i get goosebumps. i love the first line of the chorus... "u can find him....sittin on your doorsteeeeeep...." Ah! Love it! She's stunning too x
Beautiful. This is the first time i've heard this track, but it was one of those songs that made me just stop what i was doing and simply listen.. I love her voice so much. So melodic and soothing. And the guitar.. just.. Yeah.
@@ellieg91 tbh, I only really listen to her old jools Holland live performances, imo they are by far her best ever. She was just getting noticed around this time and she's really putting 100% into it, and they are all flawless and special. Don't get me wrong she's obviously still insanely talented but I think over time the record labels etc just don't make it sound as good as reality, and also singers are taught to not give it their all during live performances when they tour because they will damage their voices etc. But In these clips she really is giving it her ALL
Excellent comparison by way of a young Joni. Adele is someone who has the soul of both the young and the elder ballad singers. I hope to enjoy her rise as a new voice. LOVE her!
if people would stop pretending to not care about looks by saying "shes beautiful the way she is" then maybe her looks wouldn't matter. Just enjoy the music, as refreshing as it is to hear talent like this in the mainstream field.
Reminds me of Anouk in so many ways, Happy Adele has got worldwide attention so early in her career so the whole world can enjoy her music. I'm sure everyone who's likes Adele would like Anouk.
