ADELE - SET FIRE TO THE RAIN
I Let It Fall, My Heart
And As It Feel, You Rose To Claim It
It Was Dark And I Was Over
Until You Kissed Me Lips And You Saved Me
My Hands, They Were Strong
But My Knees, Were Far Too Weak
To Stand, In Your Arms
Without Falling To Your Feet
But There's A Side To You
That I Never Knew Never Knew
All The Things You'd Say
They Were Never True Never True
And The Games You'd Play
You Would Always Win Always Win
But I Set Fire To The Rain
Watched It Pour As I Touched Your Face
Well It Burn While I Cried 'Cause I Heard It
Screaming Out Your Name, Your Name
When I Lay, With You
I Could Stay There, Close My Eyes
Feel You Here, Forever, You And Me
Together Nothing Gets Better
'Cause There's A Side To You
That I Never Knew Never Knew All The Things You'd Say
They Were Never True Never True And The Games You'd Play
You Would Always Win Always Win
But I Set Fire, To The Rain
Watched It Pour As I, Touched Your Face
Well It Burn While I Cried 'Cause I Heard Its
Creaming Out Your Name, Your Name
I Set Fire, To The Rain
And I Threw Us, Into The Flames
When I Felt Something Died 'Cause I Knew That
That Was The Last Time, The Last Time
Sometimes I'd Wake Up By The Door
That Heart You Caught Must Be Waiting For Ya
Even Now, When We're Already Over
I Can't Help Myself From Looking For Ya
I Set Fire, To The Rain
Watched It Pour As I, Touched Your Face
Well It Burn While I Cried 'Cause I Heard It
Screaming Out Your Name, Your Name
I Set Fire, To The Rain
And I Threw Us, Into The Flames
When I Felt Something Died 'Cause I Knew That
That Was The Last Time, The Last Time
Oh, Oh-Oh, Oh-No-Oh-Oh, Ooh
Let It Burn (Burn), Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh
Let It Bur, Ur, Ur, Urn
Let It Bur, Ur, Ur-Ur-Ur, Ur-Urn
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Adele Adkins, Fraser T Smith
Producer(s): Fraser T Smith
Adele Wrote This Song With English Producer/Songwriter Fraser T Smith, Who Manned The Boards On #1 Hits For Tinchy Stryder And Taio Cruz.
Many Of The Songs On 21 Such As This One Are About The Heartbreaking Ending Of Adele's First Real Relationship.
When This Went To #1, Adele Became The First British Artist To Have Three Chart-Toppers From One Album On The Hot 100 Since George Michael In The Late Eighties.
In The Week Following Adele's Six Wins At The 2012 Grammys, This Song Remained At #2 On The Hot 100, "Rolling In The Deep," Leapt 17-5 And "Someone Like You" Jumped 11-7. With Those Advances, The English Songbird Became The First Ever Woman To Place Three Songs In The Top 10 Concurrently As A Lead Artist. The Previous Four Acts To Do So Were All Male: The Beatles Placed Five Titles In The Top 10 In 1964, And The Bee Gees (1978), Usher (2004) And Chris Brown (2008) All Achieved Three.
Adele Told Fraser T Smith That She Wanted A More Rhythmic Approach Than Usual So He Programmed A Tom-Tom Drum Loop, Which Provided The Springboard For This Song.
Adele Won Best Pop Solo Performance For Her Live Version Of This Song At The 2013 Grammys, A Year After The British Soul-Pop Singer Won Six Of Six Possible Awards.
