Adele, "Make You Feel My Love"On: 19 (2008)
What the song is about: It's an ode to the one you love, and a declaration of how deep that love goes...damn, could I have been any more generic with that?
Why I'm listening to it: It re-affirms my belief that any, ANY Bob Dylan song goes from 0 to 100 when sung by someone other than Bob Dylan. Yeah...I probably just uttered musical blasphemy...I mean, I love the dude as a songwriter, but I can count on one hand the number of his songs in which I actually enjoy his vocals. For anyone who thinks they can assuage my hatred of Dylan Singing, don't bother...I'm too far removed. Unless it's a track from Planet Waves, you'd better give it to me as a cover song.
Best lyric: "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"...it borders on doormat status, but hey, everyone's been all-day sucker at some point.
...and for the record: I LOVE Jakob Dylan's voice. Go figure.
