I am the oldest of 4 and I saw my mother struggle as a single parent. I always appreciated everything she’s ever done for us. This year I turned 30 and my daughter was born yesterday (9/2/23). Hearing this song and being a father now has made me appreciate my mother so much more. Mom if you ever read this comment know I love you very much. To my daughter you are everything to me. And to my partner, you’re an amazing mother. ❤
Same, I'm the youngest out of my mom's 3 kids. Plus, I'm my mom's only girl. I knew my mom was a single mom & struggle sometimes. I gave my mom hell but not that much. Heck, my mom said I was her easiest child to raise. I never blamed my mom for nothing. I've always admired my mom & her strength as a woman. I even wrote a letter to her for my Senior Yearbook
As a mother of young children who walked away from an unhealthy marriage, this is exposing exactly what so many of us have gone through. But perfectly displayed and articulated in only a way that Adele can. Thank you, Adele ❤
@@jaypetrie9627 I believe so. The ending of any chapter is difficult. Stepping into the unknown is usually the most beautiful unexpected gift we didn't know we wanted. I am a divorced mother of 3. I think a blow to anyone's ego with or without love is hard
My daughter texted me this song. I had to replay it several times to grasp the depth of it. It captivated me. For days, I listened to the words until I had cried all I could. My daughter sat with me watching me cry. I wanted to cry harder but didn't want to upset her. I married too young to a man incapable of being a husband and father, it turns out. The profound guilt I carry for making a poor choice that has impacted my child is super heavy. And this song captured all of that pain within three minutes.
I can relate to this song from a male perspective being a single father.. & my daughter& i are extremely close.. But me& her mother relationship has been on 2 different pages since her birth.. So this song took me back to all I've sacrificed for my daughter despite constant verbal abuse over the yrs& what's sad I've "NEVER" been a deadbeat.. I don't know why her mother is still bitter about& i hate i still get attacked verbally for something I've been doing right from day 1.. So all my daughter's memories from a baby til now came rushing back because she's been traveling with me on the road since she was 8-9yrs old& tears just came down my face.. So i can definitely relate to your story
@Mick Mick it sounds like he wasn't happy about something's in his life& he was taking his frustrations out on you.. I'll be praying for your strength& that God's love showers you& your daughter🙏❤🙏❤
This is deep. I'm always rushing the idea of being married (I'm 23), but reading this humbled me. " I married too young to a man incapable of being a husband and father, it turns out."
I don't have children, never had a painful breakup and this song still make me cry. Such a talent to make someone feel words that they haven't personally experienced.
This song is pure, honest & as raw as ever. She’s literally pouring her heart out to her child for her mishaps & taking full responsibility for it while working to regain the love & respect of her child as well as herself. It takes courage to be aware of your mishaps & admit them to the person or people who deserve to hear them. As a man, this applies & being a parent is a 24/7 job that is eternal. Adele is sharing her personal truth with the world. This song is a masterpiece…make it right while you have time…
My mom passed away a month ago today. She struggled with addiction for the past couple of years. But before she passed she was one month sober. She always told me that I was her greatest achievement. She got clean for her kids and started to live to her fullest potential. She always felt guilty for the things she did. This song feels like she’s speaking to me through song. Thank you Adele for this work of art. I’m crying tears because I know she wanted more. Also just realized this came out nine days after she died ToT
I can fully relate to your life story my mother past 5 years ago she got sober and decided to ride with the wrong people and never came home. But she would always tell me the only thing in life she did right was me that's an unconditional love and bond
Currently pregnant with my first, dad is not supportive. Regretting my decision of keeping it but this song makes me feel grateful to be able to have them 💓
I’m 17... I’m not a mom but this song somehow made me understand my own mother and I cried, I cried an ugly cry and I’m shaking and I’m so grateful that Adele was brave enough to share such a deep, raw and personal piece of art with us.
I'm in the same boat, I'm 17 and my mom just finally got us out of a life with my dad,, it's been years she's carried such an immense guilt, I started to feel that guilt too, I became her rock through it all trying to help her understand that I understood that gravity of it all, listening to it makes me hope that she understands that I'm there for her ya know...and I get that I shouldn't, we shouldn't have gone through what we went through and that it isn't her fault, that she can lean on others, I just beg that she gets that, I wonder if she's listened to this song, but I'm scared to make her cry with this lmao,, and I'm sorry you cried so much while listening, we're crying together!!! ❤️🥲
Yes! I’m at 21 and its so powerful to understand what my mother felt at 21 being such a young mother who had no idea what she was doing. Such a painful and beautiful feeling ❤️😭
As a child of divorced parents and a fully grown adult nowadays, I ONLY NOW realise the struggles my mother went through when she divorced my dad. She explained everything, every single nuance of sad, guilty, self-conscious, the whole spectrum of what it feels like to be going through a divorce and having to explain that to a child.... And tears just kept rolling down, because I ONLY NOW understood everything through her song, nearly 20 years later. Thank you for this revelation, and thank you for such an amazing and touching song, it takes a lot of courage to expose your deepest and sometimes darkest emotions to the world...
It’s amazing how much we learn and realize about our parents when we got older. As a teen I really should have cut my dad more slack. All teens really should. But the most amazing parents don’t hold grudges on us when were ungrateful dumbass angsty teenagers lol
It's very hard I told all my family I felt very lonely and my ex partner they never cared. Open my eyes do u and kid's x be strong people xx Adel u got this
You’re loved, you’re believed in, don’t give up on yourself and your little one you’ll look back one day and be so proud on how much you achieved and accomplished for the two of you. 🙏🏽💕
Honestly the best song off the album Its so raw, so vulnerable. We see this side of Adele as a mom going through a divorce, but showing her love to her son and speaking to him so years from now when he listens to this, he can understand Its beautiful, i cried and i can't even have kids
Beautiful don't claim you can't have children. GOD'S got the say so not man. Man just give out medical prognosis to their medical educated understanding. Stay prayerful & believe GOD for the desires of your heart. I pray you receive this without offense. I have witnessed to many times GOD move in women lives that are advised this way. It's more to this life to be understood in a spiritual sense. Go in communion with GOD more & be personal. Grace & mercy over you & within your womb you're a woman GOD'S greatest creation for creating
I cannot have kids too ..i think it applies to brakeups ..period ..not just divorce ..like me with my ex& cannot have babies with abe ....gotbme crying ..if i were to had a kid ..
My mother was a single mother of 3. We struggled. She was and still is a fierce protector. She provided a safe, loving and accepting home for us despite the hardships she faced as a mother. I would hear her cry in her room alone at night! I would sneak in and cuddle her. She sacrificed so much for our tiny little lives. Today we are 3 strong, smart, well rounded adults who are doing exceptionally well despite our childhood. I owe her everything. I’m eternally grateful for her love!
"I wanted to give you everything I never had" refers to Adele's lack of a father figure growing up :( she feels guilty as though she took that away from her son, and that breaks my heart. This song is her most deeply personal
I’m not a mother but wow, I have never felt this much emotion in a song quite like this before! I know so many mothers out there are trying their best too and feels like giving up- you are more resilient that it may seem inside💛 you are appreciated💛
I’m a recovering opioid addict and a single mom. I got clean so I could give my son the life he deserves. This song takes me back to that first month clean, feeling like I was a terrible mother and I had ruined everything. One of the counselors in my outpatient group said to me, “You’re not a bad mother. You just made some really bad choices. But, it’s not too late to fix it.” I’ll be 2 years clean in March, 4 days before my sons 3rd birthday. I’m studying to become a substance use counselor and me and my son are thriving in our own home. ❤️ thank you Adele, for this song, the rawness and emotion. For reminding me of where I came from and how grateful I am that I’m at where I’m at. I love you my little one, Edan William. ❤️
I’m so happy for you.. !! My mom was addicted to drugs for so many years and finally sobered up & is making better choices. I used to hate her for her choices, but As I got older I realized she was going through her own battles. I’m just happy to have her how I have her now.
My thirteen year old daughter was playing this song in her room and the beat caught my attention...when I made it to work later on I took time to find this song....man this song got me crying it's so beautiful and it deeply touched my heart.
We all can feel lonely and if we have children and u feel like u let them down this song is a eye opener cuz all our kids have is us.x God bless any one going through this I am but trying my dam best
“You know mummy doesn’t like anyone else like I like you right?” “When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks” “I love your dad because he gave you to me” “I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely…and I never feel lonely, I always prefer being on my own” Ugh the recordings are so amazing 😭💔
Adele's documentation of her own anxiety and paranoia and her conversation with her son made this a different approach in the world of music . For the first time I can feel that there's more than melody and lyrics there's a background for every one of us and we need to listen to this background. It's really astonishing how can a song touch u emotionally this far . Listening to this song was like pushing a button inside of me and all my bottled up emotions, fears, traumas and sorrows are all out . Everything I kept inside is just out . Love u Adele ❤
I completely agree in the beginning points I thought it might be a little gauche or cheezy. But as the voice messages continue and you hear her in her moments going through it's a deeper revelation of the lyrics. In the end it sounds like a new hybrid or evolution of music I love it. #FirstListen
@@Hithere-ej9jv yes, towards the end you hear the transition. The strings deems to create new melody. Hope..new beginnings!! Completely empty but, full of hope for the future. Yes, its brighter, lighter but, heavy with possibilites. Loving all the contrast. Ok,I need that. #first take #'I'm here for it all!
For me, adding the voice messeges didn't bring the intended effect. This feels so forced as if she's desperately capitalizing on some very intimate and personal moments in her life. The world doesn't need to know the conversation she had with her child as she was going through shit. She should have taken a different approach. The "brutal honestly" here may easily come across as a desperate attempt to capitalize on raw emotions and painful moments in her private life. I hate it.
@@joeyou2954 I agree as much as I admire her voice, I believe children should never be used in this way, we must be the parent don't burden children to heal the parents. Own your own journey.
She had me in tears. I don't know what it's like to go through a divorce while caring for a child, but I do know what it feels like to be uncertain, scared and lonely. Thanks for sharing such an authentic part of your life Adele. ❤
This song expresses the love a mother has for their children while still trying to love herself again. Being an individual alone is hard and to have a dependent that’s looks up to you see you go through all this pain. All you to do is be the best parent to them while still going through your battles. I love this for any dedicated parent!!! Mother or father ❤️🩹
Omg 😭 as a mum of 2 whose just walked away from a marriage that was slowly breaking me down, to find a song that articulates my heartbreak for my children is overwhelming. This is a gift. Thank you
Just a young 28 year old single mother sitting here crying folding clothes. This song really got into my soul. It’s hard and I struggle. Sending all my love to whoever may see this. 🙏
This has to be her most personal song yet. I felt every word, every tear, every breath. She hit the heartstrings with this one. Despite the raw emotion portrayed there is something so uplifting and powerful about her vulnerability here. Her sons voice shows so much innocence but is so sweet and encouraging. I could not help but cry but did not want to fight the tears. This is what I needed today
My mom is going through super intensive cancer treatments. She broke down today to me and everyone in the family on how she can’t take it anymore and how she wants to go… this song is how I think she feels and it allows me to understand her on a level I didn’t know I could. Thank you Adele for making such a beautiful song about the confusing facts of motherhood.
This song is very personal. I mean I can feel every single word that she says here. I can feel her pain and confusion. I'm so mesmerize by her honesty and vulnerability. 👏👏👏👏
As someone whose parents are going through a divorce it hurts me a lot to see my mom be heartbroken and I hope that her and I can get through this together, and knows she can count on me too. This song really describes what my mom is going through and having to now be a single mom with all those emotions and still caring for me. I love my mom so much, thank you Adele for writing this
It's nice that she have you and she doesn't have to go through it alone. ❤ And it's nice that you have her too. You bouth have unconditional love for each other - that is happiness. ❤ Stay strong, you ARE strong! ❤
Is it illegal to have this song on repeat like this? I feel this song from inside out. The melody of the harmonies are out of this world. Nothing but art made by a beautiful soul ❤️
@@theonlycontessa8771 I agree. Though, this song by her provides a out of world feeling. There are multiple of Marvin’s songs that come to mind when we’re talking great music.
Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of my 5 y/o daughters death and this song has got me crying. Mama doesn't know what she's doing but she's holding on.
I don't even have children yet this made me cry. This goes to show that this is a song that reaches your heart regardless of whether you can relate to it or not. Being able to convey feelings to those who wouldn't understand is something this song accomplishes. Such great artistry from Adele.
“Mamas got a lot to learn” I think of my mom when she sings this lyric. She wasn’t perfect and went through dark times while still being strong for us. She still loved us and raised all four of us BY HERSELF without knowing everything. She sacrificed for us and was so strong doing it.. I always get emotional with this song. 🥰😭😭💕
wow man… this hits home so hard. When I separated with my kid’s father … I was so lost . Depressed and sad. I felt so bad because I felt like I wasn’t being the best mother at that moment…My 2 kids were what made me stronger . They are who got me out of my dark deep hole. … Ugh my heart. 🙏🏽♥️
Tui và mẹ vừa cãi nhau nên tui đang khóc rất nhiều và mỗi lần như vậy, tôi đều tìm đến bài hát này. Tui tìm được sự bình tĩnh qua từng câu hát và làm tui trở nên nhẹ lòng hơn. Nhưng quan trọng hơn là tui còn khóc nhiều hơn cả khi chưa nghe. I just had an argument with my mom, and now I’m crying a lot. Every time this happens, I always turn to this song. I find a sense of calm in every lyric, and it helps lighten the burden in my heart. But more importantly, it makes me cry even more than I did before listening.
[Verse 1] My little love I see your eyes widen like an ocean When you look at me so full of my emotions I'm findin' it hard to be here sincerely I know you feel lost, it's my fault completely [Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins] _Tell me you love me_ _I love you a million percent_ [Verse 2] I don't recognise myself in the coldness of the daylight So I ain't surprised you can read through all of my lies I feel so bad to be here when I'm so guilty I'm so far gone and you're the only one who can save mе [Bridge: Angelo Adkins & Adele] _Oi, I feel like you don't love me_ _Why do you feel likе that?_ _Do you like me?_ _You know mummy doesn't like anyone else like I like you, right?_ [Chorus] I'm holdin' on (Barely) Mama's got a lot to learn (It's heavy) I'm holdin' on (Catch me) Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me) [Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins] _Mummy's been having a lot of big feelings recently_ _Like how?_ _Just, like, hang on, my fingers are trapped_ _Like, um, I feel a bit confused_ _Why?_ _I don't know_ _And I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing_ _Oh, at all?_ _At all_ _And that would make me go..._ [Verse 3] My little love Tell me, do you feel the way my past aches?

I wanted you to have everything I never had I'm so sorry if what I've done makes you feel sad [Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins] _I love your dad 'cause he gave you to me_ _You're half me and you're half daddy_ _Oh_ [Chorus] I'm holdin' on (Barely) Mama's got a lot to learn (It's heavy) I'm holdin' on (Catch me) Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me) [Outro] *I'm having a bad day, I'm having a very anxious day* *I feel very paranoid, I feel very stressed* *Um, I have a hangover, which never helps, but* *I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely* *And I never feel lonely, I love being on my own* *I always preferred being on my own than being with people* *And I feel like maybe I've been, like, overcompensating* *And being out and stuff like that to keep my mind off of him* *And I feel like today, I'm home and I wanna be at home* *I just wanna watch TV and curl up in a ball and* *Be in my sweats and stuff like that, but I just feel really lonely* *I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this a lot*
My mom just recently passed, she used to sing this song to me all the time. I’m crying happy tears listening to this the first time after her passing. Taken from us too soon too young, I love you so much momma.😘💖
Hey, I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost my mother some time ago and this song has really been a profound part of my grieving. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope when you find these moments of bittersweet nostalgia you also find healing❤
I understand how you feel, this month on Christmas day my mom passed and right now even though it will be 3 years since her passing I 'm still struggling with this. She pass at the hospital that I 'm still working at. Until this day every time I walk through those doors I get this quing. but I know God will take care of me. Right now I'm learning to deal with it . And taking it one day at a time. Be bless my friend. Because your not a lone.
I was weeping and weeping and weeping more and more just listening to it. I can't imagine the courage it must have taken for Adele to put herself out in this way. Adele, my dear woman, I don't know you personally but hearing you like that shattered my heart. You are truly courageous.
People find this graceful. I kinda don't. I hate how she decided to capitalize on intimate moments so painful and personal. Clearly she was a mess, but we don't need to be told that in this explicitness and excessiveness to the point of 🤮. She went through it alone and she should have kept it to herself. Yes I'm all for making relatable music, but not in this way. This song gives 'desperate' exaggeration of a divorce and the drama associated with it. What is does is this: i really don't feel like listening to this song ever again. For now, i'll pretend this sorta forced album didn't happen and keep streaming 21 and 25 instead.
@@joeyou2954 Don't you think your assessment is a bit harsh on her? What would she gain from trying to 'capitalize on intimate moments'? Money? More money? But Adele has loads and if she needed to capitalise on her grief for pecuniary ends, she could have channeled lesser painful and more financially rewarding options -- her weight loss. She could have easily signed brand deals and heaven knows what and easily made millions more. And if Adele was intent on making relatable music, the question is 'relatable' to whom? I am a single woman who hasn't been married yet. But I still in somehow relate to this song because the wider premise is not just divorce -- it's heartbreak and crushing under the weight of one's expectations. That's doesn't have to necessarily mean marriage. Could be anything. Also, I don't think Adele ever gives off any 'desperate' aura -- if that was so, what explains her long absences? Surely you can't ever expect people to forget her music. Tiktok in my opinion sounds desperate. Adele said no to it.
@@joeyou2954 I know I KNOW people feel this but it isn't about captalising feelings , it is processing them as someone who writes songs THIS IS HOW WE PROCESS ANYTHING , shush boy you dk anything.
@@joeyou2954 This is the really stupid analogy. An artist cuts his/her heart out to make art. PPL literally have gone to lengths to make art. It is something personal .that's why it is considered personal. I bet u if she made poppy songs with no emotions ,u would have said she has become sellout. PPL relate with authenticity.and if I can tell u anything ABT Adele it is that Adele is the most authentic singer I have heard.
@@nidhi5779 i know Adele, and i love Adele. This album didn't do it for me (except three or four tracks that actually sound like her, where the storytelling is delicate balanced and authentic without the exaggeration). Adding the voice messeges in this track was unnecessary and it definitely gives 'desperate' vibes. It bothers me because this is not the Adele i know and love. And by the way, there is a lot of talk on social media on how she took 150million dollars to talk about her weight loss. I don't know if that's accurate but it's possible. I can understand her urge to capitalize on her grief because she's might want to stay in the game, top the charts, and by implication make millions. Her last two albums broke records as they should. That's additional pressure that would make any artist including Adele go to extreme lengths, even capitalize on the grief of divorce in a very explicit way. She herself said it on her Ig live when asked what this album will be about, her reply was simple and direct: "divorce". I would have loved for this album to focus more on, as you said, "the crushing under the weight of one's expectations" in a more subtle and symbolic way.
Trying to raise my son while working through my own healing is the hardest thing I could have ever imagined. He’s two and we have a long road ahead. My own self-work is only just beginning. Thank you for sharing your heart for those of us who are also struggling, to know we aren’t alone in this deeply difficult, but incredibly heartfelt effort.
Your not alone love. I am a single parent with a 3 year old boy I know exactly how you feel. I don’t know you but I know for you to feel this way you care and love your son and for that your an amazing mother and I am proud of you! Your doing an amazing job ❤️❤️
Your not alone I’m going through the same thing! My son is 8 months old, I feel the same as Adele did when she wrote this song, she felt like she disappointed her son by putting her own happiness first and walking away. We need to be happier so our children can have a better life 💙 stay strong xx
Hello Abigail! I can so relate to how you feel. I had my son when i was 18 years old. So any trauma i went through as a child, i had to put it on the back burner because now i have this tiny human being that needs and wants are greater than mine, so i really couldn't heal like i need to. Then of course his dad isn't a father to him like he should be, so that adds extra pain because i feel quilty, which i don't understand why because i can't blame myself for what someone not doing, but again all mothers want the best for their children so anytime your child hurts, it's a mothers initial reaction to blame themselves, even if they didn't cause the pain. It's been a long road for me, but things got better and me and my son are so close. He knows i love him and i just continue to do the best i can. That's all you can do! Now here's a spiritual hug from me🤗
out of all the songs in this album THIS is my favorite, it’s very painful but her honesty and this tiny bits of audio commentary or confessionals is just adding so much depth into this album. it’s like she’s speaking to us about her struggles, those struggles that were just kept inside. and just to give credit to the concept of putting sprinkles of lo-fi music in some parts of her song made this album, ambience-like. KUDOS to Adele and her entire team, this album is another one for the books!!!
This song hit me in the gut. From a person who is struggling in today's standards of society and struggling with depression and guilt for years, this song made me cry because it reminded me of my inner child and how they were so full of life.
You can hear the pain and heartache on your voice. Not many people are able to be so vulnerable. Thank you for let us into your life through your music. I appreciate it!
As a young man dealing with depression, going through the worst heartbreak, and about to turn 20, this song really helped me feel like actually reaching out to my inner child that's felt trapped behind all the things that come with being an adult. Addiction, heartbreak, isolation. Lost the person that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. It feels like I completely abandoned the kid who loved people and life like I don't even recognize who I've become, but this song reminds me I'm still there somewhere in the chaos
As a woman who went thru a divorce with two young boys, this made me break into a million little pieces. The guilt I felt was so deep. They’re so young & all they want is their family together. This journey wasn’t easy & I didn’t plan it this way, but things happen & our little loves end up having to, sometimes, pick up the pieces. It’s heart breaking & humbling. This song is everything & I am so glad others can hear it to hopefully find healing in their own journey. Adele, you are the voice of our generation. Thank you. 🥺
I've lost my mother to cancer a couple of weeks ago (I'm18) and this really made my whole body tremble. Sending lots of love to all of you reading this, never forget you will always be loved♡ Love you Mom~ Thanks for all the warm words in the comments, stay strong yall~
This song is so personal for me. Losing my Parents, Grand Parents as a child and raised in a home were I was not wanted, hurt my heart. Never got to feel what love felt like to have a mother and father. Till this day, at age 44... it still hurts. But, through it all, GOD has loved me unconditionally and told me not to cry because He is with me.
As a single mother this song is so relatable. I haven’t cried in a while. A while is a few weeks for me. Everything she said is everything I feel all the time.
Growing up having both parents walk away due to drugs… I listen to this and pretend this is what my mom’s would say if she could find it. Fk pops I know he doesn’t have it in him. I love my kids the way I wished I was. Peace to everybody in the section here. May your pain subside. 🤙🏿💯
This song hit me so hard. Not only personally but emotionally and mentally. I was diagnosed with autism when I was twelve years old, as soon as my father found out that I was in-fact autistic he immediately wanted to put me into foster care. I never really had the father and son relationship that I thought I would with him. He used to go fishing a lot and even before I was diagnosed with autism he always seemed like he never really wanted me around, he made it seem like I was the mistake that he wish would have never happened. Unfortunately, he continues to not talk to me, not acknowledge that I'm around, his lack of "being a father" to me has hurt me so bad, that now it's at the point where I think maybe I would've been better off in a foster home. Even if I had someone that would have fostered me and made me feel like I belong, made me feel worthy of myself. Just to have that father figure in my life that my own father can't give to me, whether he's scared, mad, sad. I feel like he could care less about the fact that this is reality, this is life and no matter how much he tries to get rid of me, at the end of the day he is still my biological father. I doubt anyone will see this post but if you do, I thank you for taking the time to read this as I have been holding in how I truly feel for years now. I don't feel safe around my dad, I don't feel loved by my dad, I don't feel wanted by my own dad and it hurts, it really and truly does hurt. I just don't know what to do anymore other than hide my emotions from him and just carry on with my life whether or not he will be there for me in the future. I can't do this on my own much longer, I feel like I am stranded in the ocean and there's no way to get to the shore without getting trapped in another hurricane. It takes a lot for me to actually be able to sit here and type out how I really feel, but I am glad I did because I don't want others to have to go through what I've been through, and if you are going through the same or have been through the same type of situation as myself, then I congratulate you on how far you have come.
I’m proud of you for expressing the deepest parts of your human experience. Your dad’s inability to give you the love you needed does not take away from your worthiness as a person and It does not mean you are unlovable. Within my own healing process, it’s helped to understand that hurt is usually generationally cycled, and most of the emotional damage caused to you by your father is a byproduct of his own pain caused by factors completely out of your control. This does not mean you deserve to be treated without kindness, but the opposite in fact. I hope healing happens in ways that weather you softer. I hope you begin to understand the value in your human experience, and more than anything, I hope life guides you in finding the people and places that don’t do as he did. Loving you a little extra today ❤️
Keep your head up young man. It will get better as you get older. At the end of the day, he’s the one that’s missing out, not you and if one day, you’re fortunate to become a father, make sure you be everything he wasn’t as a father to your kids.
His inability to be a father says everything about him and is nothing to do with who you are, your autism or anything else. Stay strong, talk about how you feel to someone if you can. It’s a heavy burden to carry, but you got this. I’m lucky to have wonderful parents, but I also consider my friends family. Build a network of family you can count on, and who love you for you ❤️
This song is reminder of how much a mother loves their chlid . This is so heart breaking that so many mothers are going through pain and struggles of their own mentalhealth and personal life but never neglect their children. This is truest relationship on earth between a mother and a child . Shoutout to all the mother's goin' through pain and struggles and heartache you will get better . You are not alone . This brought me into tears.
As a man with no mother and no father ! I just cry my eyes out as this song speaks to the huge void that I have in my life , I just recently split with my boyfriend and Adele has completely captured my Loneliness and my inner child in one song Thank you Adele for the feeling I’m not alone when I play this song
My mother and father were never in my life, im 32 and they are still addicts. No other family. Been in jail and I have a tendency to let aggression mask my feelings and shit I feel this. She’s great!
Thank you Adele, for being this vulnerable with your art and most importantly, to your child. I'm sure he's very proud to have you here. He's a one lucky guy and you are a one great mom. As a child, when a parent would admit their wrongs, and being vulnerable with their emotions to their child with a communication this healthy.. that would mean the world. I mean, at least to me, but, I'm sure he would appreciate it. Adele, I'm truly thankful. You have once again done it.
Lyrics: Hmm, hmm My little love I see your eyes widen like an ocean When you look at me so full of my emotions I'm findin' it hard to be here since he did I know you feel lost, it's my fault completely Tell me you love me I love you a million by fact I don't recognize myself in the coldness of the day light So I ain't surprised you can read through all of my lies I feel so bad to be here when I'm so guilty I'm so far gone and you're the only one who can save me Oi, I feel like you don't love me Why do you feel like that? Do you like-like me? You know mommy doesn't like Anyone else like I like you, right? I'm holdin' on (Baby) Mama's got a lot to learn (It's heavy) I'm holdin' on (Catch me) Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me) Mummy's been having a lot of big feelings recently Like how? Just like, mummy, I'm, I'm, the feeling That I have, like, hm, I feel a bit confused Why? I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing Oh, at all? At all My little love Tell me do you feel the way my past aches? When you lay on me Can you hear the way my heart breaks? I wanted you to have everything I never had I'm so sorry if what I've done makes you feel sad I love your dad because he gave you to me You're half me and you're half daddy Oh I'm holding on (Baby) Mama's gotta lot to learn (It's heavy) I'm holding on (Catch me) Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me) Hmm, hmm I'm having a bad day, I'm having a very anxious day I feel very paranoid, feel very stressed Um, I have a hangover, which never helps, but I feel like today is the first day since I left that I feel lonely And I never feel lonely, I love being on my own I always preferred being on my own than being with people And I feel like maybe I've been, like, overcompensating Being out and stuff like that to keep my mind off of him And I feel like today, I'm home, and I wanna be at home I just wanna watch TV and curl up into a ball And be in my sweats and stuff like that I just feel really lonely I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this at all
I remember feeling so low when my daughter was about 8. I was cooking in the kitchen and just started crying. I didn't realize she had walked, and it frightened her. I tried to save face, and she just hugged me and said, "it's ok mommy, we gonna be ok". That was 23 years ago, and that memory came flooding back listening to this song. And she was right. We were ok, and she is now a smart, funny, amazing, well-adjusted 31yr old who is living life to the fullest and who still calls me her bestfriend 💕. I could not be prouder of the woman she has become. We as mothers have to give ourselves some grace, especially when we are trying and doing our best 🙏🏾.
This really took me back to when I was a child, my father abandoned my mother and us - kids with special needs. Immediately, we felt heavy and broken. My mother went through hell to provide for us, and as a child, I never understood or appreciated her the way I should have, because I was always so sad that I didn't have another parent to take these responsibilities off of us - me and my mom. We had to compensate for my father's abandonment and it was like being born into depression, not being able to feel joy, taking care of sibling and growing up believing they are your child and you are the mom while mom has to make the money and be the dad, we were just broken for so so long. And this song just reminds me that my mom was so strong. She had to struggle and survive for us to be okay, while my dad went off and lived his life leaving us all behind. This song is a beautiful dedication to all the strong moms who feel they aren't doing enough and who have guilt for their burnout. It's ok to feel broken down, nobody should have to hide it. Life is not always easy. And being a mom is a tough job. Nobody gets a manual. You do what you can when you can at any cost. This song so beautifully emulates that, for me.
Wow This was very emotional. I'm glad that you can share a piece of your life with others without knowing who you are. I want to say to keep on going and keep supporting your mom any way you can
"Life" is Gods Gift to us by giving his only begotten son for our sins. Adele's voice is pure and soulful, but should not be confused as a gift from God to us.
As a mother, living a life of deep heartache that my 2 adult daughters never really understood the pains a mother experiences, made it feel like 2 hooks constantly pulling on my heart as I navigated life…. Thank you Adele for understanding and sharing the pain of words that they never could feel and I never could say. Loneliness is death in the mind.
She’s not only just speaking to mothers, she’s speaking to children and I felt this because some parents never ever talk about what they’re going through, pain they’re feeling and the burden they’re carrying. Sometimes what they do is verbally, physically, and emotionally take it out on their children, then became emotionally unavailable and we have to live with that💔 but I understand and pray for healing for our broken parents. 🙏🏽
This song is not only for single mothers who deal with the bad part of motherhood, but for the children of these women as well. Mine was a single mother, and she always considered me guilty for never having worked out in another relationship. It's really hard to try to have a life with someone when you already have a child. This song makes me understand a little on her side, but it hurts me in a very specific place, because other people around me love me more. Nothing is more precious to a child than the love and dedication of a mother. A demonstration of affection and that cares, is more important than a complaint about such behavior.
This is my most favorite song on 30. Hearing Adele talking to her son is so sweet and heartwarming. We all have days where we feel helpless and don't know what we're doing, but we can get through them. I love her even more now.
I cried the hardest cry in a long time to this song. I don’t even have children. But the thought of what so many mothers had to go through in this pandemic. She just captured it all here. I felt it so deeply. I cried deeply for my own feelings of isolation, feeling like like barely holding on, having so much anxiety during and before the pandemic. My binge drinking all 2020 (something I’ve never done). The pain was just unbearable knowing everyday I could lose someone. I completely locked myself away in 2020 with the riots, Trump, the virus, because it was just too much. I’m crying my ass off as I write this and listen to the song. Adele, just thank you, I feel my soul being lifted as we speak. Thank you so much for this. 🙏🏼
I relate to this so much. Along with generalized anxiety disorder I’ve also been battling with infertility, so I not only agonize over potentially losing those I love, but also the family I can’t love yet. Her words are simple and raw. It brought me to tears hearing her break down. I’m always the strong one for others, and hearing these vulnerable moments from someone I admire makes me feel like I’m not alone.
I am becoming a mother. I don’t have a good relationship with myself, God, or the father. I have so much to heal from and I feel guilty for bringing a life into the world. But I’ve been writing to my baby in this journal, I feel like this song explains everything I can’t. I’m scared I’m gonna pass my trauma & brokenness onto my baby. I hope I can be a good mother to my baby.
being raised by a single mom , makes me appreciate and proud of the experiences she had to go through to get where she is today. this song made me realize our mothers r growing n learning too . shout out to all the moms out there . i cried . the most gratitude.
This is incredible. This song is so important for me. I never experienced such a love from any of my parents. My parents are divorced, they just left me alone when I was 12/13 because they were mad at each other. When I listen to this song I just feel love. I feel home. This is weird but I like this feeling. Thank you Adele.
Right, this song feels incredibly reassuring as someone who has parents who are defensive and only care about their prides. It feels like a hug, pats in the back, and it's just nice to know this much vulnerability coming from a parent. I feel you too.
as a child who’s father was abusive to me and my mother and later she divorced him, when adele said “i love your dad because he gave you to me.” I used to ask my mom if she wished she had never met him, she said she would go through that all again for me. i’m so thankful for all the loving mothers who protect and love us unconditionally.
My mom got me and my brother out of a dysfunctional household after years of living with a monster. Even though she’s not the best mother in the world, I admire her strength and perseverance. I love her even with all of her flaws
If you don't feel something when you hear this song... you don't have a soul. The way she was so vulnerable on this track is going to be so powerful for so many people. Not just moms and women, but men and etc as well. I get chills every time I play this song
Me, a non-native English speaker who literally can't even feel half of the emotions conveyed in the sentences: *intense sweating* But yeah, I admit it, she held back her voice in the lyrics. She exposed her innermost soul to the outside world.
I'm glad you mentioned men and it should extend to fathers. I don't think it was Adele's intention to shut men out of what she's feeling as a parent. As a father with two children, this hit hard. It's not always the women who are struggling or being victimized. There are two parties.
mother’s don’t get enough praise. as a daughter or a mother who had it the hardest growing up, this song hits so close to home. the women in our lives must fight battles everyday we cannot see. this is so real and raw, i cannot even listen without crying. so real and raw, this is music at its best.
Her ability to unabashedly articulate her grief is astonishing! You almost feel guilty listening to her music sometimes….. it’s like you’re reading someone diary despite having their permission!
I’ve adored and admired Adele since I was 12/13 years old. From the moment I heard her music to now, she amazes me. Going through her music again reignites something within me and I reflect on my life over these past few years. She’s the reason why music is so important to me and now, as a new mother, I hope I can pass that onto my little love 🥹
This is my favorite song on the album so far, it makes me tear. Her willingness to always be there for her son and in a way, shelter him from the cruelty of the spotlight and such. I don't have a child yet, but I sure as he'll wouldn't want any harm approaching their way. If it did happen, then I'd feel completely guilty as to not have been there for them throughout
How can a song be heart touching to the point that it speaks directly to the soul!!!! Keeping in mind that I ain't a father nor a mother, but this song is touching a part of me that's even deeper. Something beyond what the eyes can see and the ears can hear... Our Humanity. Thanks Adele for such a master piece.
Same! I’m a mother, but haven’t been through a divorce and this just hits my soul. Bless her for putting out something so honest we can all feel the truth of it
I burst into tears while reading all the comments & My Little Love being played. Me too, grew up from a broken family, and I never understand why. The conversation between the song and the melody, the lyrics, really makes me want to forgive my parent. I wish nobody will go thru this but life goes on, to a better place.
I have listened to this emotional masterpiece a hundred times and I still always cry, when I listen to it again and again... This conversation between Adele and her son is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I wish all the best to them and everyone who sees this, hold on!
I'm one of the 30-40 yr old moms in therapy that she wrote this album for and I'm just feeling so seen and connected to her in this song! We are the ones doing the really hard work of unraveling our trauma and rebuilding ourselves so we can live our best lives. We are warrior women. Sending love to all my warrior sisters out there.
I have never cried just from a song but as soon as the conversation began my eyes started watering… When the song ended they where full of tears🥺At the latest as I heard her crying at the end my heart broke into a million pieces💔
It makes me sadder to hear her little boy ask her "why". Her son NEEDS her! I find this all so selfish on Adele's part. Mommy is going through something and isn't happy. Screw the hubby and the child. "I want to be HAPPY, dammit"!!!
@@diseamans6630 it’s not ok to stay in a relationship to accommodate the feelings of others, she did what she had to do and they will get through it together
@@diseamans6630 I feel you. But Adele said it herself that she wants her son to see her mom as a happy person growing up, not a miserable one. They say children grow up happy in a happy environment.
The conversation with her son was soooo relatable. So healthy. Loving Mother’s are literally a gift from God and I pray we all heal from whatever our special hurt may look like and live to watch our beautiful creations grow 💗 thank you God for another day with my kids.
As a mom this song hits differently. There are a lot of days I feel like I’m just not doing a good job. I still have a lot to learn, I just hope my children know that no matter how frustrated and angry I feel when they are acting up, I’d die for them without question.
As an young dad this song makes me want be a better dad, better husband and most importantly a better son, makes me realize how blessed I am to still have both my parents and still married for 33 years as old as I am btw…my heart and prayers goes out to everyone who is not as fortunate…
There are a lot of moms in the world who will feel this song deeply. I know I can relate to the heartbreaking loss my children and I experienced when needing to walk away from their dad even when it was the right thing to do. It stings a mother's soul straight to the core. Mother to mother, Adele, you will find your way through this and come out shining on the other side. Our children will see this....maybe not until they are adults...but they will see it.
"You know Mommy doesn't like anyone like I like you" I am like this with my own son and he will be 29 years old soon... I will forever and ever feel like this even after I am gone from this earth and watching down on him from the heavens. No other love like a Mothers and a Son - None! Ever. This song really touched my heart. Thank you Adele. For being so real and honest about sharing your feelings in real life situations, especially with all of us single Moms.
I cried when I was reading your comment. I'm far away from my mum right now and I miss her, I can't even tell her because I don't want her to feel sad about it...
Writing this while crying. This whole album is like she’s read my diary. Even the words her son speaks resemble my son’s curiosity over relationships. Xx
When you feel the whole world has beaten you till you got no more strength left to fight,the only person to go through it with you will be your child . My kids do the same with me . They let me know they love me when i need to hear it. They hold on to me when i need it. I am their first choice and i am the reason they feel safe. I never felt lonely after having them .
I've been divorced for 8 years now this is exactly how I felt but couldn't but it in words, my daughter was just 9yrs then, she's 17years now she kept me moving and becoming a strong woman I am today, To every Human being that has been through divorce, there's hope for healing, the scar will remain for life but you will be OK ❤️ Thank you Adele for being able to hear our emotions through your soulful music We love you all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I love how she’s speaking to her child but you can also view it as a conversation with your inner child. Beautiful.
I was about to comment the same thing. 🙏
That was my exact reaction to it.
Thank you.. I didn't know that this was what I meant//felt
exactly what i felt :((
OMFGG I didn’t even think about it like that
HER INTERACTIONS WITH HER SON, MELTS MY HEART
KILLED ME 😭
Same 🥺
ikr so sweet jose g. valerio
Fr 😭😭
I'm dead!
These lyrics, and how she talks to her son, just, WOW, has Adele ever released an album this real and raw? Sho, respect to her!
No. This is as much as emotional as she has ever got.
Incredible song. Beautiful and raw and the vocals are just exquisite
So brave and vulnerable ❤️
I am the oldest of 4 and I saw my mother struggle as a single parent. I always appreciated everything she’s ever done for us. This year I turned 30 and my daughter was born yesterday (9/2/23). Hearing this song and being a father now has made me appreciate my mother so much more.
Mom if you ever read this comment know I love you very much. To my daughter you are everything to me. And to my partner, you’re an amazing mother. ❤
Powerful comment. I sent this to both my mom and dad. Both called me crying.
Happy early first birthday to your little girl! Bet you’re an amazing father! Sending well wishes and happiness! 💕 your mother is so strong.
Same, I'm the youngest out of my mom's 3 kids. Plus, I'm my mom's only girl. I knew my mom was a single mom & struggle sometimes. I gave my mom hell but not that much. Heck, my mom said I was her easiest child to raise. I never blamed my mom for nothing. I've always admired my mom & her strength as a woman. I even wrote a letter to her for my Senior Yearbook
I'm 22 rn and in the oldest of 4
Living the same life man I'm in the mis of struggle rn
As a mother of young children who walked away from an unhealthy marriage, this is exposing exactly what so many of us have gone through. But perfectly displayed and articulated in only a way that Adele can. Thank you, Adele ❤
Is divorce always tough whether you love them still or not?
Here here
I did🥺❤️
@@jaypetrie9627 I believe so. The ending of any chapter is difficult. Stepping into the unknown is usually the most beautiful unexpected gift we didn't know we wanted. I am a divorced mother of 3. I think a blow to anyone's ego with or without love is hard
Same. ❤️
My daughter texted me this song. I had to replay it several times to grasp the depth of it. It captivated me. For days, I listened to the words until I had cried all I could. My daughter sat with me watching me cry. I wanted to cry harder but didn't want to upset her. I married too young to a man incapable of being a husband and father, it turns out. The profound guilt I carry for making a poor choice that has impacted my child is super heavy. And this song captured all of that pain within three minutes.
I can relate to this song from a male perspective being a single father.. & my daughter& i are extremely close.. But me& her mother relationship has been on 2 different pages since her birth.. So this song took me back to all I've sacrificed for my daughter despite constant verbal abuse over the yrs& what's sad I've "NEVER" been a deadbeat.. I don't know why her mother is still bitter about& i hate i still get attacked verbally for something I've been doing right from day 1.. So all my daughter's memories from a baby til now came rushing back because she's been traveling with me on the road since she was 8-9yrs old& tears just came down my face.. So i can definitely relate to your story
@@montrezhadley251 thank you. I am sorry for your pain too. Sending you & your daughter positive healing vibes.
Ditto!!
@Mick Mick it sounds like he wasn't happy about something's in his life& he was taking his frustrations out on you.. I'll be praying for your strength& that God's love showers you& your daughter🙏❤🙏❤
This is deep. I'm always rushing the idea of being married (I'm 23), but reading this humbled me. " I married too young to a man incapable of being a husband and father, it turns out."
Admit it. We all cried.
in tears now!!!
@@shirleykibler4257 here's some tissue, same.
🥺🥺
I am still crying
Me too. X
I don't have children, never had a painful breakup and this song still make me cry. Such a talent to make someone feel words that they haven't personally experienced.
Glad to hear from.Thank you for your love and support...
Where are you watching from??
@@Johnnydeppusa001 one believes your actually Camilla Capello u know
I agree. The song almost forces one to not only see but also understand the other perspective.
I cried ugly tears cause this is a perfect song for my experience
I feel for you, that first heartbreak is gonna hit you like a ton of bricks!! I recommend the acapella version of End of the Road by Boys to Men
This song is pure, honest & as raw as ever. She’s literally pouring her heart out to her child for her mishaps & taking full responsibility for it while working to regain the love & respect of her child as well as herself. It takes courage to be aware of your mishaps & admit them to the person or people who deserve to hear them. As a man, this applies & being a parent is a 24/7 job that is eternal. Adele is sharing her personal truth with the world. This song is a masterpiece…make it right while you have time…
“Make it right, while you have time..” wow 😔😪
Frl she ate 💕
Well said ❤
Ty for your words
Love this comment.
I think this is my favourite song from the album.
Sameeee
Heck yeah
1000%
Mines so far😍😍😍
Mine too
My mom passed away a month ago today. She struggled with addiction for the past couple of years. But before she passed she was one month sober. She always told me that I was her greatest achievement. She got clean for her kids and started to live to her fullest potential. She always felt guilty for the things she did. This song feels like she’s speaking to me through song. Thank you Adele for this work of art. I’m crying tears because I know she wanted more.
Also just realized this came out nine days after she died ToT
I feel you, the reason why i love this song so much is also because of my mom whom passed last week.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I have never really experienced a loved one dead but I feel so sad for you, hope your doing well my love
@@alecedman1702 💔💔💔💔
I can fully relate to your life story my mother past 5 years ago she got sober and decided to ride with the wrong people and never came home. But she would always tell me the only thing in life she did right was me that's an unconditional love and bond
so true, so really story for me too!
Currently pregnant with my first, dad is not supportive. Regretting my decision of keeping it but this song makes me feel grateful to be able to have them 💓
Hope you have a safe pregnancy girl May God bless you 🩷
I’m 17... I’m not a mom but this song somehow made me understand my own mother and I cried, I cried an ugly cry and I’m shaking and I’m so grateful that Adele was brave enough to share such a deep, raw and personal piece of art with us.
I'm in the same boat, I'm 17 and my mom just finally got us out of a life with my dad,, it's been years she's carried such an immense guilt, I started to feel that guilt too, I became her rock through it all trying to help her understand that I understood that gravity of it all, listening to it makes me hope that she understands that I'm there for her ya know...and I get that I shouldn't, we shouldn't have gone through what we went through and that it isn't her fault, that she can lean on others, I just beg that she gets that, I wonder if she's listened to this song, but I'm scared to make her cry with this lmao,, and I'm sorry you cried so much while listening, we're crying together!!! ❤️🥲
@sjsnsjsn bruh- what's your deal-
Yessss exactlyyyyyy
@sjsnsjsn stop being insensitive you didn’t have to comment,
Yes! I’m at 21 and its so powerful to understand what my mother felt at 21 being such a young mother who had no idea what she was doing. Such a painful and beautiful feeling ❤️😭
As a child of divorced parents and a fully grown adult nowadays, I ONLY NOW realise the struggles my mother went through when she divorced my dad. She explained everything, every single nuance of sad, guilty, self-conscious, the whole spectrum of what it feels like to be going through a divorce and having to explain that to a child.... And tears just kept rolling down, because I ONLY NOW understood everything through her song, nearly 20 years later. Thank you for this revelation, and thank you for such an amazing and touching song, it takes a lot of courage to expose your deepest and sometimes darkest emotions to the world...
I had the exact same thoughts while listening to this
Same situation here and I this song just makes me feel so sad
It’s amazing how much we learn and realize about our parents when we got older. As a teen I really should have cut my dad more slack. All teens really should. But the most amazing parents don’t hold grudges on us when were ungrateful dumbass angsty teenagers lol
💙
💓
Hearing her cry at the end about being lonely is shattering my heart to pieces. What a vulnerable, breathtaking masterpiece.
Omg to hear her cry breaks me down everytime geez just take my heart Adele because she always seems to give her heart to everyone through her albums
It's very hard I told all my family I felt very lonely and my ex partner they never cared. Open my eyes do u and kid's x be strong people xx Adel u got this
I break down in tears listing to it
21 year old single mom here…in a hotel room with my 8 month old son…. I’ve never been so low … so depressed…. This mama still has a lot to learn
Please keep going.
Keep going, I've been their. 🫂
You’re loved, you’re believed in, don’t give up on yourself and your little one you’ll look back one day and be so proud on how much you achieved and accomplished for the two of you. 🙏🏽💕

Keep your head up, it WILL get better
I literally never cry but this song got me shitting tears, it’s so personal and I love it

I literally had a breakdown this morning listening to this song.

Same here 😢
@@iffahkaisah4942 has. no. love. to. jt. all. heart.
Honestly the best song off the album
Its so raw, so vulnerable.
We see this side of Adele as a mom going through a divorce, but showing her love to her son and speaking to him so years from now when he listens to this, he can understand
Its beautiful, i cried and i can't even have kids
Exactly!!
Beautiful don't claim you can't have children. GOD'S got the say so not man. Man just give out medical prognosis to their medical educated understanding. Stay prayerful & believe GOD for the desires of your heart. I pray you receive this without offense. I have witnessed to many times GOD move in women lives that are advised this way. It's more to this life to be understood in a spiritual sense. Go in communion with GOD more & be personal. Grace & mercy over you & within your womb you're a woman GOD'S greatest creation for creating
You can have children don’t speak that on your body. If your truly do find some herbs for healing. Asé

I cannot have kids too ..i think it applies to brakeups ..period ..not just divorce ..like me with my ex& cannot have babies with abe ....gotbme crying ..if i were to had a kid ..
My mother was a single mother of 3. We struggled. She was and still is a fierce protector. She provided a safe, loving and accepting home for us despite the hardships she faced as a mother. I would hear her cry in her room alone at night! I would sneak in and cuddle her. She sacrificed so much for our tiny little lives. Today we are 3 strong, smart, well rounded adults who are doing exceptionally well despite our childhood. I owe her everything. I’m eternally grateful for her love!
"I wanted to give you everything I never had" refers to Adele's lack of a father figure growing up :( she feels guilty as though she took that away from her son, and that breaks my heart. This song is her most deeply personal
Now I’m really sobbing
why did you say this,,, im literally crying ten times harder now
@@sebsdemise good 😡😢🥺
Wow 😢
I’m not a mother but wow, I have never felt this much emotion in a song quite like this before! I know so many mothers out there are trying their best too and feels like giving up- you are more resilient that it may seem inside💛 you are appreciated💛
Literally when she was crying I was crying too 😭😭

I’m a recovering opioid addict and a single mom. I got clean so I could give my son the life he deserves. This song takes me back to that first month clean, feeling like I was a terrible mother and I had ruined everything. One of the counselors in my outpatient group said to me, “You’re not a bad mother. You just made some really bad choices. But, it’s not too late to fix it.” I’ll be 2 years clean in March, 4 days before my sons 3rd birthday. I’m studying to become a substance use counselor and me and my son are thriving in our own home. ❤️ thank you Adele, for this song, the rawness and emotion. For reminding me of where I came from and how grateful I am that I’m at where I’m at. I love you my little one, Edan William. ❤️
I’m so proud of you and all the accomplishments you’ve made big or small. I wish nothing but a long and happy life with you and your son 💕
I’m so happy for you.. !!
My mom was addicted to drugs for so many years and finally sobered up & is making better choices. I used to hate her for her choices, but As I got older I realized she was going through her own battles.
I’m just happy to have her how I have her now.
Hope life continues to bless you two.
Well done to you.
I love you 💕
My thirteen year old daughter was playing this song in her room and the beat caught my attention...when I made it to work later on I took time to find this song....man this song got me crying it's so beautiful and it deeply touched my heart.
Your thirteen year old is on good track listening to authentic music like this.
She has good taste in music
We all can feel lonely and if we have children and u feel like u let them down this song is a eye opener cuz all our kids have is us.x God bless any one going through this I am but trying my dam best
❤
“You know mummy doesn’t like anyone else like I like you right?”
“When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks”
“I love your dad because he gave you to me”
“I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely…and I never feel lonely, I always prefer being on my own”
Ugh the recordings are so amazing 😭💔
That part resonates with me real hard
Adele's documentation of her own anxiety and paranoia and her conversation with her son made this a different approach in the world of music . For the first time I can feel that there's more than melody and lyrics there's a background for every one of us and we need to listen to this background.
It's really astonishing how can a song touch u emotionally this far . Listening to this song was like pushing a button inside of me and all my bottled up emotions, fears, traumas and sorrows are all out . Everything I kept inside is just out .
Love u Adele ❤
I completely agree in the beginning points I thought it might be a little gauche or cheezy. But as the voice messages continue and you hear her in her moments going through it's a deeper revelation of the lyrics. In the end it sounds like a new hybrid or evolution of music I love it.
#FirstListen
@@Hithere-ej9jv yes, towards the end you hear the transition. The strings deems to create new melody. Hope..new beginnings!! Completely empty but, full of hope for the future. Yes, its brighter, lighter but, heavy with possibilites. Loving all the contrast. Ok,I need that. #first take #'I'm here for it all!
For me, adding the voice messeges didn't bring the intended effect. This feels so forced as if she's desperately capitalizing on some very intimate and personal moments in her life. The world doesn't need to know the conversation she had with her child as she was going through shit. She should have taken a different approach. The "brutal honestly" here may easily come across as a desperate attempt to capitalize on raw emotions and painful moments in her private life. I hate it.
@@joeyou2954 I agree as much as I admire her voice, I believe children should never be used in this way, we must be the parent don't burden children to heal the parents. Own your own journey.
She had me in tears. I don't know what it's like to go through a divorce while caring for a child, but I do know what it feels like to be uncertain, scared and lonely. Thanks for sharing such an authentic part of your life Adele. ❤

True Adele fans will love this 💕
This song expresses the love a mother has for their children while still trying to love herself again. Being an individual alone is hard and to have a dependent that’s looks up to you see you go through all this pain. All you to do is be the best parent to them while still going through your battles. I love this for any dedicated parent!!! Mother or father ❤️🩹
Omg 😭 as a mum of 2 whose just walked away from a marriage that was slowly breaking me down, to find a song that articulates my heartbreak for my children is overwhelming. This is a gift. Thank you
I'm sending you all my love. ❤️❤️
OMG I’m bawling😭 This song feels like it was written for me and my son.
♥️♥️ stay strong!!Our kids is our power🙏
Yes, such a gift!
Just a young 28 year old single mother sitting here crying folding clothes. This song really got into my soul. It’s hard and I struggle. Sending all my love to whoever may see this. 🙏
Wish you all the best
I think this song touches many women both young and old. ❤
Sending a lot of love! ❤
28 here as well, sending love and peace your way.
❤❤
This has to be her most personal song yet. I felt every word, every tear, every breath. She hit the heartstrings with this one. Despite the raw emotion portrayed there is something so uplifting and powerful about her vulnerability here. Her sons voice shows so much innocence but is so sweet and encouraging. I could not help but cry but did not want to fight the tears. This is what I needed today
Always remember to love and trust yourself first th-cam.com/video/HOJ0hR5GHsA/w-d-xo.html
Who else cried when she started to sob at the ending 😭😭😭
Omg the breath....gets me every time...weve all taken that sharp intake between sentences before.
My mom is going through super intensive cancer treatments. She broke down today to me and everyone in the family on how she can’t take it anymore and how she wants to go… this song is how I think she feels and it allows me to understand her on a level I didn’t know I could. Thank you Adele for making such a beautiful song about the confusing facts of motherhood.
I hope only the best for your mother and you💜
Sending much love and prayers to you,mom, and family 🤍🤍
My prayers to your mom.
wishing the best for your mum and you only. praying for her soul and sending you much love and strength ❤️
Sending you and your family lots of love and support ❤❤
This song is very personal. I mean I can feel every single word that she says here. I can feel her pain and confusion. I'm so mesmerize by her honesty and vulnerability. 👏👏👏👏
th-cam.com/video/dUNnQ2kyrQI/w-d-xo.html enjoy the masterpiece.
It’s her talking to her son about the divorce 😢
This song is so sweet it’s one of my favourite from this album
I feel the same way…. This hit my soul …🥲
I agree ❤
@@debbvaughn493 Totally.
As someone whose parents are going through a divorce it hurts me a lot to see my mom be heartbroken and I hope that her and I can get through this together, and knows she can count on me too. This song really describes what my mom is going through and having to now be a single mom with all those emotions and still caring for me. I love my mom so much, thank you Adele for writing this
This is so sweet! Make sure to let your mom know how much you love her and get through this moment together without letting go of her hands🤍
🧡
It's nice that she have you and she doesn't have to go through it alone. ❤
And it's nice that you have her too.
You bouth have unconditional love for each other - that is happiness. ❤
Stay strong, you ARE strong! ❤
🙏🏽❤💗❤🙏🏽
@Camila DeSantiago Thank you for your post honey...Thank you so much 😓
God be with you and your Dear Mama
Is it illegal to have this song on repeat like this? I feel this song from inside out. The melody of the harmonies are out of this world. Nothing but art made by a beautiful soul ❤️
Wq 2. th-cam.com/video/HLqvhu8vj98/w-d-xo.html
We should start a help line
Marvin Gaye is out of this world!
@@theonlycontessa8771 I agree. Though, this song by her provides a out of world feeling. There are multiple of Marvin’s songs that come to mind when we’re talking great music.
I've had it playing for about 6 times already. The tears don't stop falling
Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of my 5 y/o daughters death and this song has got me crying. Mama doesn't know what she's doing but she's holding on.
Stay strong. Not sure if you believe in reincarnation but there is always hope
I’m so sorry, my condolences 🌹❤️
❤hang in there
I don't even have children yet this made me cry. This goes to show that this is a song that reaches your heart regardless of whether you can relate to it or not. Being able to convey feelings to those who wouldn't understand is something this song accomplishes. Such great artistry from Adele.
“Mamas got a lot to learn” I think of my mom when she sings this lyric. She wasn’t perfect and went through dark times while still being strong for us. She still loved us and raised all four of us BY HERSELF without knowing everything. She sacrificed for us and was so strong doing it.. I always get emotional with this song. 🥰😭😭💕
damn, your message made me tear up realizes that sometimes mother does have a mistake but she's trying to learn how to understand us...😔
My mother too ❤️
The lyric, Momma's got to learn was touching for me. Nice post.
This message fits to my mum too. I love her ♥️
We Love Our Moms, TY
wow man… this hits home so hard. When I separated with my kid’s father … I was so lost . Depressed and sad. I felt so bad because I felt like I wasn’t being the best mother at that moment…My 2 kids were what made me stronger . They are who got me out of my dark deep hole. … Ugh my heart. 🙏🏽♥️

Totally reality. It hurts.
i hope you’re doing well and i wish you nothing but the best for you and your child, you got this!!!
Hope you and ur kids stay safe. 💕 Goodluck, it can become hard but it will hopefully end
Tui và mẹ vừa cãi nhau nên tui đang khóc rất nhiều và mỗi lần như vậy, tôi đều tìm đến bài hát này. Tui tìm được sự bình tĩnh qua từng câu hát và làm tui trở nên nhẹ lòng hơn. Nhưng quan trọng hơn là tui còn khóc nhiều hơn cả khi chưa nghe.
I just had an argument with my mom, and now I’m crying a lot. Every time this happens, I always turn to this song. I find a sense of calm in every lyric, and it helps lighten the burden in my heart. But more importantly, it makes me cry even more than I did before listening.
This is one of her BEST EVER songs...and she has a bunch of BEST songs.
Its on repeat...its addictive...
Yes I repeats this song all the time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👂❤️
It's so beautiful
She put into words what I’ve gone
Through and still going through
iobbicic
Its good but y’all seem depressed like damn I don’t have this on repeat lol
[Verse 1]
My little love
I see your eyes widen like an ocean
When you look at me so full of my emotions
I'm findin' it hard to be here sincerely
I know you feel lost, it's my fault completely
[Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins]
_Tell me you love me_
_I love you a million percent_
[Verse 2]
I don't recognise myself in the coldness of the daylight
So I ain't surprised you can read through all of my lies
I feel so bad to be here when I'm so guilty
I'm so far gone and you're the only one who can save mе
[Bridge: Angelo Adkins & Adele]
_Oi, I feel like you don't love me_
_Why do you feel likе that?_
_Do you like me?_
_You know mummy doesn't like anyone else like I like you, right?_
[Chorus]
I'm holdin' on (Barely)
Mama's got a lot to learn (It's heavy)
I'm holdin' on (Catch me)
Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me)
[Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins]
_Mummy's been having a lot of big feelings recently_
_Like how?_
_Just, like, hang on, my fingers are trapped_
_Like, um, I feel a bit confused_
_Why?_
_I don't know_
_And I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing_
_Oh, at all?_
_At all_
_And that would make me go..._
[Verse 3]
My little love
Tell me, do you feel the way my past aches?
When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks?
I wanted you to have everything I never had
I'm so sorry if what I've done makes you feel sad
[Bridge: Adele & Angelo Adkins]
_I love your dad 'cause he gave you to me_
_You're half me and you're half daddy_
_Oh_
[Chorus]
I'm holdin' on (Barely)
Mama's got a lot to learn (It's heavy)
I'm holdin' on (Catch me)
Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me)
[Outro]
*I'm having a bad day, I'm having a very anxious day*
*I feel very paranoid, I feel very stressed*
*Um, I have a hangover, which never helps, but*
*I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely*
*And I never feel lonely, I love being on my own*
*I always preferred being on my own than being with people*
*And I feel like maybe I've been, like, overcompensating*
*And being out and stuff like that to keep my mind off of him*
*And I feel like today, I'm home and I wanna be at home*
*I just wanna watch TV and curl up in a ball and*
*Be in my sweats and stuff like that, but I just feel really lonely*
*I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this a lot*
the lyrics are part of the video already 😭
@@i_violetexpress_i yeah, but it is nice to read the talking segments, too. They are not in the video. But they are so important.
Thank you! I couldn't hear the interactions very well!! Thank you!
Thank you for the talking parts. As a non-speaker, its hard for me to understand what she is saying just by listening.
😭❤🌹🌷
Song is literally on repeat , although my baby boy is in heaven..
Sending love💕❤️
omg nooo 🙁
sorry for your loss
sorry for your loss love.
So sorry love ❤️
My mom just recently passed, she used to sing this song to me all the time. I’m crying happy tears listening to this the first time after her passing. Taken from us too soon too young, I love you so much momma.😘💖
Hey, I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost my mother some time ago and this song has really been a profound part of my grieving.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope when you find these moments of bittersweet nostalgia you also find healing❤
I understand how you feel, this month on Christmas day my mom passed and right now even though it will be 3 years since her passing I 'm still struggling with this. She pass at the hospital that I 'm still working at. Until this day every time I walk through those doors I get this quing. but I know God will take care of me. Right now I'm learning to deal with it . And taking it one day at a time. Be bless my friend. Because your not a lone.
RIP ❤
I was weeping and weeping and weeping more and more just listening to it.
I can't imagine the courage it must have taken for Adele to put herself out in this way. Adele, my dear woman, I don't know you personally but hearing you like that shattered my heart. You are truly courageous.
People find this graceful. I kinda don't. I hate how she decided to capitalize on intimate moments so painful and personal. Clearly she was a mess, but we don't need to be told that in this explicitness and excessiveness to the point of 🤮. She went through it alone and she should have kept it to herself. Yes I'm all for making relatable music, but not in this way. This song gives 'desperate' exaggeration of a divorce and the drama associated with it. What is does is this: i really don't feel like listening to this song ever again. For now, i'll pretend this sorta forced album didn't happen and keep streaming 21 and 25 instead.
@@joeyou2954 Don't you think your assessment is a bit harsh on her? What would she gain from trying to 'capitalize on intimate moments'? Money? More money? But Adele has loads and if she needed to capitalise on her grief for pecuniary ends, she could have channeled lesser painful and more financially rewarding options -- her weight loss. She could have easily signed brand deals and heaven knows what and easily made millions more.
And if Adele was intent on making relatable music, the question is 'relatable' to whom? I am a single woman who hasn't been married yet. But I still in somehow relate to this song because the wider premise is not just divorce -- it's heartbreak and crushing under the weight of one's expectations. That's doesn't have to necessarily mean marriage. Could be anything.
Also, I don't think Adele ever gives off any 'desperate' aura -- if that was so, what explains her long absences? Surely you can't ever expect people to forget her music. Tiktok in my opinion sounds desperate. Adele said no to it.
@@joeyou2954 I know I KNOW people feel this but it isn't about captalising feelings , it is processing them as someone who writes songs THIS IS HOW WE PROCESS ANYTHING , shush boy you dk anything.
@@joeyou2954 This is the really stupid analogy. An artist cuts his/her heart out to make art. PPL literally have gone to lengths to make art. It is something personal .that's why it is considered personal. I bet u if she made poppy songs with no emotions ,u would have said she has become sellout. PPL relate with authenticity.and if I can tell u anything ABT Adele it is that Adele is the most authentic singer I have heard.
@@nidhi5779 i know Adele, and i love Adele. This album didn't do it for me (except three or four tracks that actually sound like her, where the storytelling is delicate balanced and authentic without the exaggeration). Adding the voice messeges in this track was unnecessary and it definitely gives 'desperate' vibes. It bothers me because this is not the Adele i know and love. And by the way, there is a lot of talk on social media on how she took 150million dollars to talk about her weight loss. I don't know if that's accurate but it's possible. I can understand her urge to capitalize on her grief because she's might want to stay in the game, top the charts, and by implication make millions. Her last two albums broke records as they should. That's additional pressure that would make any artist including Adele go to extreme lengths, even capitalize on the grief of divorce in a very explicit way. She herself said it on her Ig live when asked what this album will be about, her reply was simple and direct: "divorce". I would have loved for this album to focus more on, as you said, "the crushing under the weight of one's expectations" in a more subtle and symbolic way.
Trying to raise my son while working through my own healing is the hardest thing I could have ever imagined. He’s two and we have a long road ahead. My own self-work is only just beginning. Thank you for sharing your heart for those of us who are also struggling, to know we aren’t alone in this deeply difficult, but incredibly heartfelt effort.
You're doing great love! We are proud of you
Your not alone love. I am a single parent with a 3 year old boy I know exactly how you feel. I don’t know you but I know for you to feel this way you care and love your son and for that your an amazing mother and I am proud of you! Your doing an amazing job ❤️❤️
Your not alone I’m going through the same thing! My son is 8 months old, I feel the same as Adele did when she wrote this song, she felt like she disappointed her son by putting her own happiness first and walking away. We need to be happier so our children can have a better life 💙 stay strong xx
Hello Abigail! I can so relate to how you feel. I had my son when i was 18 years old. So any trauma i went through as a child, i had to put it on the back burner because now i have this tiny human being that needs and wants are greater than mine, so i really couldn't heal like i need to. Then of course his dad isn't a father to him like he should be, so that adds extra pain because i feel quilty, which i don't understand why because i can't blame myself for what someone not doing, but again all mothers want the best for their children so anytime your child hurts, it's a mothers initial reaction to blame themselves, even if they didn't cause the pain. It's been a long road for me, but things got better and me and my son are so close. He knows i love him and i just continue to do the best i can. That's all you can do! Now here's a spiritual hug from me🤗
out of all the songs in this album THIS is my favorite, it’s very painful but her honesty and this tiny bits of audio commentary or confessionals is just adding so much depth into this album. it’s like she’s speaking to us about her struggles, those struggles that were just kept inside.
and just to give credit to the concept of putting sprinkles of lo-fi music in some parts of her song made this album, ambience-like. KUDOS to Adele and her entire team, this album is another one for the books!!!
Very true.
Mine too!!!
this is my favorite too😍
Agree
Agreed! Big lo-fi vibes and it's so soothing and yet a deeply vulnerable atmospheric sound
This song hit me in the gut. From a person who is struggling in today's standards of society and struggling with depression and guilt for years, this song made me cry because it reminded me of my inner child and how they were so full of life.
Same 🥲
You can hear the pain and heartache on your voice. Not many people are able to be so vulnerable. Thank you for let us into your life through your music. I appreciate it!
Thanks we have the same feeling, so true. !

As a young man dealing with depression, going through the worst heartbreak, and about to turn 20, this song really helped me feel like actually reaching out to my inner child that's felt trapped behind all the things that come with being an adult. Addiction, heartbreak, isolation. Lost the person that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. It feels like I completely abandoned the kid who loved people and life like I don't even recognize who I've become, but this song reminds me I'm still there somewhere in the chaos
That’s great you’re doing so good
You will overcome 🤍
That is so beautiful. Keep searching for him and loving him.. you will always find you again and start over
Knowing is the first and most important step.
Marcus listen to me ,Hold On ❤️❤️❤️
As a woman who went thru a divorce with two young boys, this made me break into a million little pieces. The guilt I felt was so deep. They’re so young & all they want is their family together. This journey wasn’t easy & I didn’t plan it this way, but things happen & our little loves end up having to, sometimes, pick up the pieces. It’s heart breaking & humbling.
This song is everything & I am so glad others can hear it to hopefully find healing in their own journey. Adele, you are the voice of our generation. Thank you. 🥺
Whew!!!!! 🎶 I’ Holding On.. Momma’s got a lot to learn🎶🥲🥲 I get teared up everytime I hear this beautiful song… 🥰🥰🥰
I've lost my mother to cancer a couple of weeks ago (I'm18) and this really made my whole body tremble. Sending lots of love to all of you reading this, never forget you will always be loved♡
Love you Mom~
Thanks for all the warm words in the comments, stay strong yall~
sorry for your loss
sending love to you💌
I’m so sorry 🕊
Sorry for your loss , it’s horrid losing your mum I lost my mum in January. No matter how old we are it hurts . Sending you love
So sorry for your loss love
This song is so personal for me. Losing my Parents, Grand Parents as a child and raised in a home were I was not wanted, hurt my heart. Never got to feel what love felt like to have a mother and father. Till this day, at age 44... it still hurts. But, through it all, GOD has loved me unconditionally and told me not to cry because He is with me.
Blessings to you
He can heal u
God bless ❤🙏❤ I hope you find peace in all this. You're amazing loved and worthy and never forget it. 🙏🙏
Amen, God bless us all and may he blesses you for eternity. I'm praying for you
I Love God as Well.
As a single mother this song is so relatable. I haven’t cried in a while. A while is a few weeks for me. Everything she said is everything I feel all the time.
Single mama anthem 💯
So true and I'm also a single parent it's a hard job doing it by yourself that never ends but I don't regret my children we women rock 🙂😊❤️💯
Same !
Growing up having both parents walk away due to drugs… I listen to this and pretend this is what my mom’s would say if she could find it. Fk pops I know he doesn’t have it in him. I love my kids the way I wished I was. Peace to everybody in the section here. May your pain subside. 🤙🏿💯
This song hit me so hard. Not only personally but emotionally and mentally. I was diagnosed with autism when I was twelve years old, as soon as my father found out that I was in-fact autistic he immediately wanted to put me into foster care. I never really had the father and son relationship that I thought I would with him. He used to go fishing a lot and even before I was diagnosed with autism he always seemed like he never really wanted me around, he made it seem like I was the mistake that he wish would have never happened. Unfortunately, he continues to not talk to me, not acknowledge that I'm around, his lack of "being a father" to me has hurt me so bad, that now it's at the point where I think maybe I would've been better off in a foster home. Even if I had someone that would have fostered me and made me feel like I belong, made me feel worthy of myself. Just to have that father figure in my life that my own father can't give to me, whether he's scared, mad, sad. I feel like he could care less about the fact that this is reality, this is life and no matter how much he tries to get rid of me, at the end of the day he is still my biological father. I doubt anyone will see this post but if you do, I thank you for taking the time to read this as I have been holding in how I truly feel for years now. I don't feel safe around my dad, I don't feel loved by my dad, I don't feel wanted by my own dad and it hurts, it really and truly does hurt. I just don't know what to do anymore other than hide my emotions from him and just carry on with my life whether or not he will be there for me in the future. I can't do this on my own much longer, I feel like I am stranded in the ocean and there's no way to get to the shore without getting trapped in another hurricane.
It takes a lot for me to actually be able to sit here and type out how I really feel, but I am glad I did because I don't want others to have to go through what I've been through, and if you are going through the same or have been through the same type of situation as myself, then I congratulate you on how far you have come.
I’m proud of you for expressing the deepest parts of your human experience. Your dad’s inability to give you the love you needed does not take away from your worthiness as a person and It does not mean you are unlovable.
Within my own healing process, it’s helped to understand that hurt is usually generationally cycled, and most of the emotional damage caused to you by your father is a byproduct of his own pain caused by factors completely out of your control. This does not mean you deserve to be treated without kindness, but the opposite in fact.
I hope healing happens in ways that weather you softer. I hope you begin to understand the value in your human experience, and more than anything, I hope life guides you in finding the people and places that don’t do as he did.
Loving you a little extra today ❤️
We love you brother stay strong
Keep your head up young man. It will get better as you get older. At the end of the day, he’s the one that’s missing out, not you and if one day, you’re fortunate to become a father, make sure you be everything he wasn’t as a father to your kids.
His inability to be a father says everything about him and is nothing to do with who you are, your autism or anything else. Stay strong, talk about how you feel to someone if you can. It’s a heavy burden to carry, but you got this. I’m lucky to have wonderful parents, but I also consider my friends family. Build a network of family you can count on, and who love you for you ❤️
Stay strong 🙏..u are worthy and enough ❤❤
I find it so adorable that her child still has the English accent even though they live in LA now. Shows you how much time they spend together ❤️

This song is reminder of how much a mother loves their chlid . This is so heart breaking that so many mothers are going through pain and struggles of their own mentalhealth and personal life but never neglect their children. This is truest relationship on earth between a mother and a child .
Shoutout to all the mother's goin' through pain and struggles and heartache you will get better . You are not alone .
This brought me into tears.
Even as a father this song makes me cry.
Same, man, same.
I heard this song and instantly shedded tears. All I can think about was my kids.
As a man with no mother and no father ! I just cry my eyes out as this song speaks to the huge void that I have in my life , I just recently split with my boyfriend and Adele has completely captured my Loneliness and my inner child in one song
Thank you Adele for the feeling I’m not alone when I play this song
You're not alone!!! Hugs from distance!
Right!! God you describe it perfectly.
Sending you hugs and love 🤍
🤎🤎🤎 sending my love
My mother and father were never in my life, im 32 and they are still addicts. No other family. Been in jail and I have a tendency to let aggression mask my feelings and shit I feel this. She’s great!
Thank you Adele, for being this vulnerable with your art and most importantly, to your child. I'm sure he's very proud to have you here. He's a one lucky guy and you are a one great mom. As a child, when a parent would admit their wrongs, and being vulnerable with their emotions to their child with a communication this healthy.. that would mean the world. I mean, at least to me, but, I'm sure he would appreciate it.
Adele, I'm truly thankful. You have once again done it.

Lyrics:
Hmm, hmm
My little love
I see your eyes widen like an ocean
When you look at me so full of my emotions
I'm findin' it hard to be here since he did
I know you feel lost, it's my fault completely
Tell me you love me
I love you a million by fact
I don't recognize myself in the coldness of the day light
So I ain't surprised you can read through all of my lies
I feel so bad to be here when I'm so guilty
I'm so far gone and you're the only one who can save me
Oi, I feel like you don't love me
Why do you feel like that?
Do you like-like me?
You know mommy doesn't like
Anyone else like I like you, right?
I'm holdin' on (Baby)
Mama's got a lot to learn (It's heavy)
I'm holdin' on (Catch me)
Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me)
Mummy's been having a lot of big feelings recently
Like how?
Just like, mummy, I'm, I'm, the feeling
That I have, like, hm, I feel a bit confused
Why?
I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing
Oh, at all?
At all
My little love
Tell me do you feel the way my past aches?
When you lay on me
Can you hear the way my heart breaks?
I wanted you to have everything I never had
I'm so sorry if what I've done makes you feel sad
I love your dad because he gave you to me
You're half me and you're half daddy
Oh
I'm holding on (Baby)
Mama's gotta lot to learn (It's heavy)
I'm holding on (Catch me)
Mama's got a lot to learn (Teach me)
Hmm, hmm
I'm having a bad day, I'm having a very anxious day
I feel very paranoid, feel very stressed
Um, I have a hangover, which never helps, but
I feel like today is the first day since I left that I feel lonely
And I never feel lonely, I love being on my own
I always preferred being on my own than being with people
And I feel like maybe I've been, like, overcompensating
Being out and stuff like that to keep my mind off of him
And I feel like today, I'm home, and I wanna be at home
I just wanna watch TV and curl up into a ball
And be in my sweats and stuff like that
I just feel really lonely
I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this at all
Thanks!
gracias
the last spoken part is “feel like this a lot”
😭😭😭
Im findin' it hard to be here SINCERELY
I remember feeling so low when my daughter was about 8. I was cooking in the kitchen and just started crying. I didn't realize she had walked, and it frightened her. I tried to save face, and she just hugged me and said, "it's ok mommy, we gonna be ok". That was 23 years ago, and that memory came flooding back listening to this song. And she was right. We were ok, and she is now a smart, funny, amazing, well-adjusted 31yr old who is living life to the fullest and who still calls me her bestfriend 💕. I could not be prouder of the woman she has become. We as mothers have to give ourselves some grace, especially when we are trying and doing our best 🙏🏾.
This really took me back to when I was a child, my father abandoned my mother and us - kids with special needs. Immediately, we felt heavy and broken. My mother went through hell to provide for us, and as a child, I never understood or appreciated her the way I should have, because I was always so sad that I didn't have another parent to take these responsibilities off of us - me and my mom. We had to compensate for my father's abandonment and it was like being born into depression, not being able to feel joy, taking care of sibling and growing up believing they are your child and you are the mom while mom has to make the money and be the dad, we were just broken for so so long. And this song just reminds me that my mom was so strong. She had to struggle and survive for us to be okay, while my dad went off and lived his life leaving us all behind. This song is a beautiful dedication to all the strong moms who feel they aren't doing enough and who have guilt for their burnout. It's ok to feel broken down, nobody should have to hide it. Life is not always easy. And being a mom is a tough job. Nobody gets a manual. You do what you can when you can at any cost. This song so beautifully emulates that, for me.
This comment speaks to me !
Wow This was very emotional. I'm glad that you can share a piece of your life with others without knowing who you are. I want to say to keep on going and keep supporting your mom any way you can
"I love your Dad cus he gave you me. You are half me and half Daddy"🥺✨✨✨my heart is breaking. This is so real😭😭
This women has soul & a voice that reaches every corner of earth. God's gift to us
"Life" is Gods Gift to us by giving his only begotten son for our sins. Adele's voice is pure and soulful, but should not be confused as a gift from God to us.
@@OctoberLibra1 don't think they meant it literally
Yess 😇❤
She does ❤
As a mother, living a life of deep heartache that my 2 adult daughters never really understood the pains a mother experiences, made it feel like 2 hooks constantly pulling on my heart as I navigated life…. Thank you Adele for understanding and sharing the pain of words that they never could feel and I never could say. Loneliness is death in the mind.
The beat has a strong 2000s R&B / Jazz vibe... 😍
Something I can imagine Erykah Badu singing to
Yes....its beautiful
Or Andre 3000 rapping over.
The beat reminds me of something that Marvin Gaye would have sung on, in the 70's. It's absolutely beautiful!
Yesss
"You don't know my name" by Alicia Keys
These are exactly the words I needed to hear when I was younger. The communication, the display of the emotions. An ode to my inner child.
She’s not only just speaking to mothers, she’s speaking to children and I felt this because some parents never ever talk about what they’re going through, pain they’re feeling and the burden they’re carrying. Sometimes what they do is verbally, physically, and emotionally take it out on their children, then became emotionally unavailable and we have to live with that💔 but I understand and pray for healing for our broken parents. 🙏🏽
This song is not only for single mothers who deal with the bad part of motherhood, but for the children of these women as well.
Mine was a single mother, and she always considered me guilty for never having worked out in another relationship. It's really hard to try to have a life with someone when you already have a child.
This song makes me understand a little on her side, but it hurts me in a very specific place, because other people around me love me more. Nothing is more precious to a child than the love and dedication of a mother. A demonstration of affection and that cares, is more important than a complaint about such behavior.
This is my most favorite song on 30. Hearing Adele talking to her son is so sweet and heartwarming. We all have days where we feel helpless and don't know what we're doing, but we can get through them. I love her even more now.
Mine too.
Oh come on.. have you not heard To Be Loved?
I cried the hardest cry in a long time to this song. I don’t even have children. But the thought of what so many mothers had to go through in this pandemic. She just captured it all here. I felt it so deeply. I cried deeply for my own feelings of isolation, feeling like like barely holding on, having so much anxiety during and before the pandemic. My binge drinking all 2020 (something I’ve never done). The pain was just unbearable knowing everyday I could lose someone. I completely locked myself away in 2020 with the riots, Trump, the virus, because it was just too much. I’m crying my ass off as I write this and listen to the song. Adele, just thank you, I feel my soul being lifted as we speak. Thank you so much for this. 🙏🏼
*virtual hug* we'll get through this.
I relate to this so much. Along with generalized anxiety disorder I’ve also been battling with infertility, so I not only agonize over potentially losing those I love, but also the family I can’t love yet. Her words are simple and raw. It brought me to tears hearing her break down. I’m always the strong one for others, and hearing these vulnerable moments from someone I admire makes me feel like I’m not alone.
Thank you for relating to my pain as a mom. Especially during the pandemic. If was one of the most difficult times of my life.
Hang in there 💛
WE GOT THIS
I want to hug Adele so bad and tell her that everything will be ok :'(

True Adele fans will love this 💕
she’s rich you’re poor
@@AppIeOfficial and???
@@AppIeOfficial news flash...rich people can still go through hard times lmao.
I am becoming a mother. I don’t have a good relationship with myself, God, or the father. I have so much to heal from and I feel guilty for bringing a life into the world. But I’ve been writing to my baby in this journal, I feel like this song explains everything I can’t. I’m scared I’m gonna pass my trauma & brokenness onto my baby. I hope I can be a good mother to my baby.
being raised by a single mom , makes me appreciate and proud of the experiences she had to go through to get where she is today. this song made me realize our mothers r growing n learning too . shout out to all the moms out there . i cried . the most gratitude.
This is incredible. This song is so important for me. I never experienced such a love from any of my parents. My parents are divorced, they just left me alone when I was 12/13 because they were mad at each other. When I listen to this song I just feel love. I feel home. This is weird but I like this feeling. Thank you Adele.
❤️
Love this for you❤️
🙏♥️
Right, this song feels incredibly reassuring as someone who has parents who are defensive and only care about their prides. It feels like a hug, pats in the back, and it's just nice to know this much vulnerability coming from a parent. I feel you too.
as a child who’s father was abusive to me and my mother and later she divorced him, when adele said “i love your dad because he gave you to me.” I used to ask my mom if she wished she had never met him, she said she would go through that all again for me. i’m so thankful for all the loving mothers who protect and love us unconditionally.
My mom got me and my brother out of a dysfunctional household after years of living with a monster. Even though she’s not the best mother in the world, I admire her strength and perseverance. I love her even with all of her flaws
Glad to hear from you.
Thank you for your love and support...
Where are you watching from?
❤❤❤❤
If you don't feel something when you hear this song... you don't have a soul. The way she was so vulnerable on this track is going to be so powerful for so many people. Not just moms and women, but men and etc as well. I get chills every time I play this song
Me, a non-native English speaker who literally can't even feel half of the emotions conveyed in the sentences: *intense sweating*
But yeah, I admit it, she held back her voice in the lyrics. She exposed her innermost soul to the outside world.

I'm glad you mentioned men and it should extend to fathers. I don't think it was Adele's intention to shut men out of what she's feeling as a parent. As a father with two children, this hit hard. It's not always the women who are struggling or being victimized. There are two parties.
mother’s don’t get enough praise. as a daughter or a mother who had it the hardest growing up, this song hits so close to home. the women in our lives must fight battles everyday we cannot see. this is so real and raw, i cannot even listen without crying. so real and raw, this is music at its best.
Her ability to unabashedly articulate her grief is astonishing! You almost feel guilty listening to her music sometimes….. it’s like you’re reading someone diary despite having their permission!
I’ve adored and admired Adele since I was 12/13 years old. From the moment I heard her music to now, she amazes me. Going through her music again reignites something within me and I reflect on my life over these past few years. She’s the reason why music is so important to me and now, as a new mother, I hope I can pass that onto my little love 🥹
This is my favorite song on the album so far, it makes me tear. Her willingness to always be there for her son and in a way, shelter him from the cruelty of the spotlight and such. I don't have a child yet, but I sure as he'll wouldn't want any harm approaching their way. If it did happen, then I'd feel completely guilty as to not have been there for them throughout
How can a song be heart touching to the point that it speaks directly to the soul!!!! Keeping in mind that I ain't a father nor a mother, but this song is touching a part of me that's even deeper. Something beyond what the eyes can see and the ears can hear... Our Humanity. Thanks Adele for such a master piece.
Same! I’m a mother, but haven’t been through a divorce and this just hits my soul. Bless her for putting out something so honest we can all feel the truth of it
But you are the child to be loved
I burst into tears while reading all the comments & My Little Love being played. Me too, grew up from a broken family, and I never understand why. The conversation between the song and the melody, the lyrics, really makes me want to forgive my parent. I wish nobody will go thru this but life goes on, to a better place.
♥️🙏
I have listened to this emotional masterpiece a hundred times and I still always cry, when I listen to it again and again... This conversation between Adele and her son is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I wish all the best to them and everyone who sees this, hold on!
I'm one of the 30-40 yr old moms in therapy that she wrote this album for and I'm just feeling so seen and connected to her in this song! We are the ones doing the really hard work of unraveling our trauma and rebuilding ourselves so we can live our best lives. We are warrior women. Sending love to all my warrior sisters out there.
"When you lay on me can you hear the way my heart breaks?" 🥺😭 thats when this song hits me hard!
I don’t have children but let me tell you something THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Had me crying. Thank you Adele for such an AMAZING ALBUM 🙏
This song …
I have never cried just from a song but as soon as the conversation began my eyes started watering…
When the song ended they where full of tears🥺At the latest as I heard her crying at the end my heart broke into a million pieces💔
Oh it breaks my heart to hear her cry. Feels so wrong. She should be happy, she deserves every joy in this world.
right? i started tearing the second she cries, so painfull to hear
It makes me sadder to hear her little boy ask her "why". Her son NEEDS her! I find this all so selfish on Adele's part. Mommy is going through something and isn't happy. Screw the hubby and the child. "I want to be HAPPY, dammit"!!!
@@diseamans6630 it’s not ok to stay in a relationship to accommodate the feelings of others, she did what she had to do and they will get through it together
@@diseamans6630 I feel you. But Adele said it herself that she wants her son to see her mom as a happy person growing up, not a miserable one. They say children grow up happy in a happy environment.
@@diseamans6630 They live across the street from each other. He still has his mother.
The conversation with her son was soooo relatable. So healthy. Loving Mother’s are literally a gift from God and I pray we all heal from whatever our special hurt may look like and live to watch our beautiful creations grow 💗 thank you God for another day with my kids.
❤️
Amen 💙💙
As a mom this song hits differently. There are a lot of days I feel like I’m just not doing a good job. I still have a lot to learn, I just hope my children know that no matter how frustrated and angry I feel when they are acting up, I’d die for them without question.
Felt every single word in this comment!
As an young dad this song makes me want be a better dad, better husband and most importantly a better son, makes me realize how blessed I am to still have both my parents and still married for 33 years as old as I am btw…my heart and prayers goes out to everyone who is not as fortunate…
I have never in my life heard my thoughts, word for word, in a song before. What a masterpiece.
There are a lot of moms in the world who will feel this song deeply. I know I can relate to the heartbreaking loss my children and I experienced when needing to walk away from their dad even when it was the right thing to do. It stings a mother's soul straight to the core.
Mother to mother, Adele, you will find your way through this and come out shining on the other side. Our children will see this....maybe not until they are adults...but they will see it.
Its deep, really deep. A lot of moms don't walk away because they don't know what their like will be with having to share time with the kids.
"You know Mommy doesn't like anyone like I like you" I am like this with my own son and he will be 29 years old soon... I will forever and ever feel like this even after I am gone from this earth and watching down on him from the heavens. No other love like a Mothers and a Son - None! Ever. This song really touched my heart. Thank you Adele. For being so real and honest about sharing your feelings in real life situations, especially with all of us single Moms.
Hello !!Mona Lisa , I know it’s so lame to be a spammer but I really seek review for my video called Why women have a sixth sense.
I cried when I was reading your comment. I'm far away from my mum right now and I miss her, I can't even tell her because I don't want her to feel sad about it...
Yes 🙌🏽…. Hit deep
Writing this while crying. This whole album is like she’s read my diary. Even the words her son speaks resemble my son’s curiosity over relationships. Xx
When you feel the whole world has beaten you till you got no more strength left to fight,the only person to go through it with you will be your child . My kids do the same with me . They let me know they love me when i need to hear it. They hold on to me when i need it.
I am their first choice and i am the reason they feel safe. I never felt lonely after having them .
I've been divorced for 8 years now this is exactly how I felt but couldn't but it in words, my daughter was just 9yrs then, she's 17years now she kept me moving and becoming a strong woman I am today,
To every Human being that has been through divorce, there's hope for healing, the scar will remain for life but you will be OK ❤️
Thank you Adele for being able to hear our emotions through your soulful music
We love you all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Reading your comments and listening to this song gives me sad pain 😪
