At the end of chorus two, the line “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead” stays in the same octave as the rest of the chorus, where in chorus one she jumped up an octave when she sang that line. The chorus this time is also not the same as the first one. In verse two, it repeats the same dynamics, timbre, tempo, and chords as verse one opened with, but towards the end of the verse at 2:19, the tempo picks up until the chorus at 2:37. The biggest change is Adele’s voice, as she singing at higher pitch and the tone of her voice goes from soft and sad to angry and sharp. Also, I believe the tempo speeds up a little as well.
However as she keeps going, the intensity builds, the piano and her voice both gets louder, until it fades at 1:11 to give the indication that the verse is ending and the chorus is about to begin.Īs soon as the chorus begins, the dynamics pick up again. Adele starts off with very low pitches and a soft timbre. You can hear the main bass piano melody, of three different notes, the fourth and second being the same pitch, clearly in the opening until Adele’s voice come is at 0:14 and the piano becomes the accompaniment. The rhythm is provided by the piano playing in a major key, even though it is a somber song. This song only consists of a piano, a lead voice (Adele), and backup voices. “Someone Like You” is in duple meter, with four beats per measure. Following the professor’s example, I picked a chart topper as well.
