For rhythm, metre and tempo these are:. The rallentando at the end of the bridge is led by the piano. The sections are:. It was one of the last written for The track, which epitomizes the lyrical content of 21 , summarizes the now defunct relationship that the record is about. And when I did it, I felt so freed. Adele had said that she began writing it on her acoustic guitar in the wake of the breakup of her month relationship with the year old man she thought she would marry.
A few months after their split, he had gotten engaged to someone else. So, when I found out he does want that with someone else, it was just the horriblest feeling ever.
But after I wrote it, I felt more at peace. It set me free. I had a cold. I was waiting for my bath to run. And it blows my mind how things cross over like that. Prior to meeting with Wilson, Adele said she wrote some of the lyrics using her acoustic guitar. She may not have had a melodic hook or a specific lyrical idea, but she always knew what she wanted to say. She definitely had a master plan. Philip Allen engineered in the studio.
When Adele recorded the song, after she sang the bridge, during one of the repeats of the chorus, Adele cried throughout it, and it was kept in the final cut. According to sheet music published at Musicnotes. Written in common time, the song is in the key of A major.

For the pre-chorus, for example, I suggested a series of chords and we played with some melody ideas for it.
My main memory is feeling like everything was flowing very easily and honestly. Once we started recording, I was very much concentrated on making sure we got a killer vocal performance, because I was starting to think this was a special recording, and also she is such a pleasure to record!
She sounds so great coming back out of the speakers, and I was dead set on making the song sound great but very natural, very vulnerable, very devastated. On the second day, her voice had a rougher, more ragged edge, and I suggested we go back and re-record the last chorus so it would sound more emotional.

As soon as the chorus begins, the dynamics pick up again. Also, I believe the tempo speeds up a little as well. In verse two, it repeats the same dynamics, timbre, tempo, and chords as verse one opened with, but towards the end of the verse at , the tempo picks up until the chorus at The chorus this time is also not the same as the first one.
