Rolling In the Deep


"I can't help feeling we could have had it all, rolling in the deep. You had my heart inside your hands, but you played it to the beat." -Adele

I heard this song a few weeks ago in the trailer for the movie I am Number Four. I tried countless times to find it and finally did so last week. I just love Adele! Never in a million years would I have believed that a British girl sang this! Her voice is so strong and powerful. I just love all the imagery she uses in the chorus. I think about greed when I picture rolling in the deep. Like, someone just won a whole crapload of money and they're rolling around in it. In this case the money is love. Whoever this song was about was love-hungry, and he didn't settle for just one woman, he wanted other lovers. He was a player and he played her heart to the beat. He could have had one love--one true love--all the love he needed, but he didn't think that would be enough.
