Adele-When We Were Young

With the release of Adele's third album, 25, I thought it was only appropriate to make today's post about her song "When We Were Young" she released earlier this week. After "Hello," I wasn't sure she could outdo herself, but Adele somehow always seems to mange to. "When We Were Young" is about running into an ex flame and how that moment can bring up memories from the past and wanting to preserve moments of our lives. As usual, Adele has lyrics that really make you think claw at your soul a bit such as "We were sad of getting old, it made us restless/I'm so mad I'm getting old it makes me reckless." The sound of the song is very typical Adele, however, what really sets the song apart is the widening of Adele's range of vocals. Near the end of the song, she hits a note that makes your jaw drop. I'm looking forward to hearing what else Adele has up her sleeve on this new album.

Inspiration 3

I am feeling a little inspired today, but the idea of presentation of information. Next Wednesday, at 7:00 p.m. I will be reading some of the work I have written at the Alumni House. I am ridiculously anxious about having to do so, seeing as I doubt my writing a lot. When I heard the posters were made for the event, I figured it would be just a plain flyer like any other thing you see hanging around campus. The posters are shaped like tickets and really stick out on the boards in the halls compared to other posters. I enjoy the design and find it intriguing how you can present information and make it look more exciting.
