His fantastical worldview showcases a unique expressive power unlike other artists, and personally, I find the vocal performances solid as well, making his songs feel very high-level.

He’s also widely recognized among students.

Adele – When We Were Young (Live at The Church Studios)

It’s a tear-jerking love song from Adele’s smash-hit album “25.” The lyrics about young love are something adults—and even college students—can probably relate to as they look back on past relationships.

In any case, the lyrics are truly excellent.
