Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I'll remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
This was the performance that completely changed the trajectory of her career and life forever. She completely blew up overnight and this song's popularity just flew through the stratosphere. I remember it so vividly, literally everyone at school/work was talking about this performance and singing the song. Then every talent show performer, every busker on the street, it just got bigger and bigger. Such a special moment in music history. Adele should feel so proud of this song!

- One woman, a microphone and a piano and it’s absolutely incredible.
- Her voice is like rocks in a river, strong, fixed, eternal. And the piano is the river flowing gently over the rocks. Flawless.
