Adele's much anticipated third studio album, 25, was released Friday. In it, she does what she does best — cuts to the core of her audience with human ballads charged with sentimentality. One track in particular, "All I Ask," which she wrote with Bruno Mars, tugged on the heartstrings of fans everywhere.
"I will leave my heart at the door," Adele sings. "I won't say a word/ They've all been said before/ So why don't we just play pretend/ Like we're not scared of what's coming next or scared of having nothing left."
With "All I Ask," Adele and Mars have clearly hit a nerve. Though Adele splays her heart across all the tracks, "All I Ask" leaves listeners with a solid sense of accepting love lost, and dredges up the dreadful finality that resignation brings with it. However, the lyrics drop listeners right into the quiet moments that precede resigning to the end of a liaison. In essence, the song arrives at an emotional plane that's devastating yet utterly relatable.
Reacting to "All I Ask," Adele fans on Twitter were beside themselves.
if you want to break your own heart then listen to Adele-'All I Ask'
Adele - All I Ask, it's just so so so sad I can feel my body aching when i hear the song.
Adele just ripped out my soul and stomped on it then shredded it then threw it in the garbage with "All I Ask"
Adele's "All I Ask" is amazing
"Now, don't get me wrong," Adele continues on the track. "I know there is no tomorrow/ If this is my last night with you/ Hold me like I'm more than just a friend/ Give me a memory I can use/ Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do/ It matters how this ends.
"'Cause what if I never love again?" she adds, as listeners fumble for tissues.
