Adele - Hometown Glory Lyrics and Video
Hometown Glory by Adele, Music Video and Lyrics
Adele’s debut rides along on the Amy Winehouse white horse of vocal intonations, joining a flock of female singer songwriters gliding around the upper echelons of the chart.
Her sound is unexpectedly mature for someone of her age - her voice is sultry and has a gravely texture to it whilst the lyrics are thoughtful and heartfelt. This talented songstress also plays the piano and acoustic guitar and in Hometown Glory she sings sentimentally about the city she grew up in.
Listen the song here.
Adele - Hometown Glory Lyrics
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 (4x )

This is a great song, honestly. We need more Amy Winehouses and ADELEs. Everyone is so wrapped up in rap and Hannah Montana, who is so OVER produced. We need real people with real voices. Someone let me know when something else like Amy or ADELE comes around…
Thanks.

I heard this song on “So You Think You Can Dance” and I fell in love with it (and the dance routine). I have it recorded on my DVR and my neighbor and I played it 20 times just to hear the song (still playin’ it). We made a $5 bet on what the lyrics were and both lost. I know that now that I have Googled the lyrics. Adele, you are art personified and I am inspired to reach for new heights with my vocals because of your magic. Thank you, thank you, thank you …Thank you!

This is the most beautiful lyrical track ive heard in a while..Go Adelle…My friends and I are always playing it, just cant get enough of it..

What i find most astounding is that Adele didnt have to write about love or loving someone or anything profound for that matter. All she did was write about her hometown and it made me cry… its an amazing song, so different. Adele’s music overwhelms me. wow…

At about 2am this monrning, I woke up to catch the last part of her live performance on a TV show. All I could say is “Wow!”
I don’t know when the song began but it’s a prophecy for what’s happening today.
Adele sang for her hometown
“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”
while in our country, we’re having big problem with AIG taking $170M of stimulus money to give as bonus to its executives and employees.

Uh! You touched me with that song. I felt like there was something wrong with ma voice wen i heard yours. I missed my hometown too, and wished you were close to me. I dont know when am gonna get enough of it, thanx a million.
