Tom: There’s a minute of non-song before the song, just so you know. And well done to the director for including subtle sound effects all the way through so this can’t be ripped off YouTube.
Tim: I want someone to subtract the song from the audio there, so I can hear the phone conversation. But let’s speak about the song first.
Tom: You’re waiting through all that first verse for the Chorus. What were you saying the other day about Sia — about how the power of the voice can sometimes be all you need?
Tim: Yep – seems Adele got that message, because she’s certainly putting her voice to good use.
Tom: And what a voice this is. The song is typical Adele, and that’s not really a style that grabs me — but the voice is enough to carry it through.
Tim: I agree with the entirety on your last sentence – most of me thinks “big slow ballad, move on” but a small part appreciates the majesty of it. Nice work.
Tom: Got to be honest, though, I keep singing “is it me you’re looking for” after that first “Hello”, though.
