Adele – Right As Rain (Live) Itunes Festival 2011 HD

Right As Rain is a medium-tempo, breezy track by the bluesy British songstress Adele, included on her album 19.

The lyrics portray a woman who’s exhausted from being strung along by a playboy and has decided she won’t let herself be manipulated anymore—she’s putting an end to a roller-coaster romance.

The song uses rain as a motif in the line, “Who wants to be right as rain?”—as if to say, “Who would willingly stand there in the rain?” It’s a memorable line that expresses the feelings of a woman who, even knowing the love is futile, keeps standing in the rain, waiting for him: a straightforward, unrequited love.

Delivered in Adele’s almost spit-out lament, her voice conveys the raw ache with striking realism.
