If only for a moment.....
Funny thing happened last night. I was in Leicester, picking up my son from University, and due to covid restrictions {he's just recovered from it} I wasn't allowed in the building. And because it was after 10pm, I couldn't get into the car park either. And I ended up waiting an hour while he got his stuff together and transported them to where I was.
In that time, I had to listen to the radio because my iPod battery had died and the ciggy lighter input doesn't power it enough to charge it. And all the stations I could get in Leicester were rather lame, so I had to listen to BBC radio 4. They had features on climate change and Russian science, a woman reading an essay on ritual, a story of some producer in early radio {at least, I think that's what it was; my mind wandered and I drifted in and out of sleep}....
After a while, I just looked around for other stations and came across this one with some woman singing. At first, I thought the song was a bit predictable, but I actually got into it and liked it. I waited for the end to hear who it was by and what it was called, but there was no DJ, it just went into the next song. I don't do music radio, so I went back to the BBC. Anyway, while the song had been playing, I scribbled a few words on a car CD radio manual that was in the glove compartment, to remind myself to see who it was by, later. I had written down "Go easy on me" and "I was just a child" and I'd forgotten about it until just now.
So I typed in the words on a lyric site and it was when I saw the words that I looked at who it was by and it turns out to be "Easy on me" by Adele. Though I've not heard it in its entirety, I bought the download.
Nope, she can definitely sing.
To be honest, I don't really care who it's by.
But the fact that the thread was meant to be one putting down her singing kind of made it rather amusing to me. And if she used autotune at any point in this recording, may the money I spent on the single roll down the rattiest drain in town !
