Hometown Glory

When listening to my newest musical interest, Adele, I can't help but revel in the natural talent she demonstrates. At age 23, newly aspiring, British artist, Adele, is captivating hearts across the globe. Describing her musical style as "heartbroken soul," Adele professes her love of London & those within the cradle of British culture. In her song "Hometown Glory," I couldn't help but pause after listening to her line, "I ain't lost, just wandering." Consciously or not, Adele taps something so profound, embodying humanity. A natural inclination to wander, to search, to embrace the truth should remain at the heart.

I really enjoyed this version of Adele's Hometown Glory.




I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
