The song is for her son, following her divorce from his father 😢 The opening lyrics "There's no gold in this river" - is referring to a gold wedding ring. "Drowning in silence" - is either referring to her ex-husband not talking OR her son blocking her out and going quiet. The 1st "non choice" that she HAD to choose was stopping singing whilst her son was an infant (hence the 6 year absence) - the visuals were the sheets of sheet music blowing out and away. The 2nd "non choice" that she HAD to choose was the divorce - the visuals showed her sitting (whilst obviously singing) in a chair, the camera lingers on her hand - minus her wedding ring. From start to finish, the director, very succinctly, embroidered poignant visuals throughout the vid. Nothing in the vid was wasted or frivolous - everything was purposeful and intentional. Most important though, was that the vid could NEVER be "bigger" than the song (similarly, the music was stripped back). The song had to tell the story - the song HAD to impact the listeners emotions. So fantastically clever 👏👏👏👏👏 She can write and sing so incredibly beautifully. What a star 🌟 Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Have you ever heard of Chris Stapleton? She just did an interview stating that she would like to work with Stapleton .If you haven't heard of him, check his music out. I think you would love his voice. You talk about raw talent, he's your guy.
Adele would have a great duet with Adam Lambert...this generations Freddy Mercury. And Sam Smith. They would have incredible voices together. I just think Adam Lambert has the best Male voice in the world today.
Sounds like she’s talking to her son. Go easy on me for choosing to break up our family- I tried everything before giving up. And then it sounds like she’s talking to herself: Go easy on me because you were young and had a child and thought it would be best to marry his father, even though you knew the relationship wasn’t quite right. It also sounds like she’s talking to her ex: Go easy on me because I had the best intentions, even though it might not seem like it now that we broke up and I moved on.
