Adele on Crying to Her Music: ‘It Has to Really Move Me’

“I have to write more music for myself, and there’s nothing else I want to do”. I loved the drama of it all. “It’s not worth it”.

She told the paper she turned down endless promotional offers, because she wanted to be known for her music, and because she wanted to be able to live a normal life. I didn’t know if I should. “It’s when I just break out in [expletive] tears in the vocal booth or in the studio”, she admitted, “and I’ll need a moment to myself”.

Adele added, “I’m not willing to feel like that to write a song again”.

In the interim between the two albums, the singer gave birth to her now three-year-old son, got serious with boyfriend Simon Konecki and stopped letting herself drown in sadness.

Adele just proved that she’s just like her fans – she cries when listening to her music too!

Considering the fact that each of her songs just happen to be gut wrenching, she may just be spending a lot of her time crying.

“I’d let myself fall apart, and I’d sit in darkness, and I’d feel sorry for myself, and I wouldn’t accept any help to get out of it, in terms of going out with my friends to cheer me up, or staying busier”. She said she wanted to do only one thing but didn’t know if she could. “I was like, ‘Oh, no, I’ve missed my window, ‘” she recalled after checking her Twitter and seeing only three responses to the song.

Instead, she has focused her attention on motherhood and producing her latest album – her first since her critically acclaimed record 21, which included hit singles Someone Like You and Rolling in the Deep.

It seems like now Adele’s tears will decide how good her songs are penned.

“I just went back to real life, because I had to write an album about real life, because otherwise how can you be relatable?” But she certainly doesn’t want to feel anything like that just so she could write another song ever again.
