Adel-I drink wine (Cover)
I drink wine was the first song I fell in love with in Adel's new album 32. I fell in love because it is a piano song and I love piano songs.
I spent about an hour trying to catch the notes and chords with my ear and play them out. I found out it was in key D and the chords are among my favorite. The 1st, then 5th, then 6th, 4th then back to the 1st, and end in the 6th.
It's a little difficult when you start adding those middle chords and extra notes running up and downscale. I'm yet to learn how to do those things, but I will. Currently learning how to add grace notes from the conversation I had with my Hive mom(@mipiano).
The lyrics
The lyrics almost had me in tears. With Adel, it's almost the plea of a broken person who is well aware of the defect but has no clue of what to do. In this song, she continues down that line.
Asking questions that physiology has not been able to answer.
How does one become so bounded by the choices that somebody else makes?
How do we both become a version of ourselves that nobody even likes?
The line that trapped my attention was:
Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind.
I love it when lyricists do this. Like when Ashe said in Moral of the story...
They say it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
That could be a load of shit
I hope you love my presentation of the two verses I could try to score.
Lyrics
How can one become so bounded
By choices that somebody else makes?
How come we've both become a version
Of a person we don't even like?
We're in love with the world
But the world just wants to bring us down
By putting ideas in our heads
That corrupt our hearts somehow
When I was a child
Every single thing could blow my mind
Soaking it all up for fun
But now I only soak up wine
They say to play hard, you work hard
Find balance in the sacrifice
Yet I don't know anybody
Who's truly satisfied
You better believe I'm trying (trying, trying)
To keep climbing (climbing, climbing)
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're both none the wiser (ahh)
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
So we can love each other for free
Everybody wants something
You just want me
Why am I obsessing
About the things I can't control?
Why am I seeking approval
From people I don't even know?
In these crazy times I hope to find
Something I can cling on to
'Cause I need some substance in my life
Something real, something that feels true
You better believe for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried)
High tides (high tides, high tides)
'Cause I want you so bad
But you can't fight fire with fire (ahh)
Oh, so I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
Love you for free (each other for free)
Everybody wants something from me
You just want me
Listen, I know how low I can go
I give as good as I get
You get the brunt of it all
'Cause you're all I've got left
Oh, I hope in time (hope in time)
We both will find (we both find) peace of mind
Sometimes the road less traveled
Is a road best left behind (ahh)
Well, I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
Love you for free, yeah (each other for free)
'Cause everybody wants something from me
You just want me
You better believe I'm trying (trying, trying)
To keep climbing (climbing, climbing)
But the higher we climb
Feels like we're both none the wiser
Bebo vino fue la primera canción que me enamoró del nuevo disco 32 de Adel. Me enamoré porque es una canción para piano y me encantan las canciones para piano.
Pasé aproximadamente una hora tratando de captar las notas y los acordes con mi oído y tocarlos. Descubrí que estaba en la clave D y los acordes están entre mis favoritos. El primero, luego el quinto, luego el sexto, el cuarto, luego de regreso al primero y termina en el sexto.
Es un poco difícil cuando comienzas a agregar esos acordes medios y notas adicionales subiendo y bajando de escala. Todavía tengo que aprender a hacer esas cosas, pero lo haré. Actualmente estoy aprendiendo cómo agregar notas de gracia de la conversación que tuve con mi mamá de Hive (@mipiano).
La letra
La letra casi me hace llorar. Con Adel, es casi la súplica de una persona rota que es muy consciente del defecto pero no tiene idea de qué hacer. En esta canción, ella continúa en esa línea.
Hacer preguntas que la fisiología no ha podido responder.
¿Cómo llega uno a estar tan limitado por las elecciones que hace otra persona?
¿Cómo nos convertimos los dos en una versión de nosotros mismos que a nadie le gusta?
La línea que atrapó mi atención fue:
A veces, el camino menos transitado es el que es mejor dejar atrás.
Me encanta cuando los letristas hacen esto. Como cuando Ashe dijo en Moral de la historia ...
Dicen que es mejor haber amado y perdido
Que nunca haber amado en absoluto
Eso podría ser un montón de mierda
Espero que les guste mi presentación de los dos versos que podría intentar anotar.
Letra
¿Cómo es que uno puede limitarse tanto por las elecciones que alguien más hace?
¿Cómo es que ambos nos convertimos en la versión de una persona que ni siquiera nos gusta?
Estamos enamorados del mundo, pero el mundo solo quiere derribarnos
Poniendo ideas en nuestras cabezas que de alguna forma corrompen nuestros corazones
Cuando era niña todo me volaba la cabeza
Empapándome en todo por divеrsión, pero ahora solo me empapo еn vino
Dicen juega duro, trabaja duro, encuentra equilibrio en el sacrificio
Y aún así no conozco a nadie que esté realmente satisfecho
[Pre-Coro]
Mejor créeme que estoy intentando (Intentando, intentando)
Seguir escalando (Escalando, escalando)
Pero mientras más alto escalamos, se siente como si ninguno de los dos fuera más sabio
[Coro]
Así que espero aprender a superarme a mí misma
A dejar de intentar ser alguien más
Para que podamos amarnos gratis
Todos quieren algo, tú solo me quieres a mí
[Verso 2]
¿Por qué me estoy obsesionando por las cosas que no puedo controlar?
¿Por qué estoy buscando la aprobación de gente que ni siquiera conozco?
En estos tiempos locos, espero encontrar algo de lo que pueda afirmarme
Porque necesito un poco sustancia en mi vida, algo real, algo que se sienta de verdad
[Pre-Coro]
Mejor créeme que por ti he llorado (He llorado, he llorado)
Mareas altas (Mareas altas, mareas altas)
Porque te deseo tanto, pero no puedes pelear el fuego con fuego, oh
[Coro]
Así que espero aprender a superarme a mí misma
A dejar de intentar ser alguien más
Oh, solo quiero amarte, amarte gratis
Todos quieren algo de mí, tú solo me quieres a mí
[Puente]
Mira, sé qué tan bajo puedo llegar, doy tanto como recibo
Tú recibes la carga de todo porque eres todo lo que me queda
Oh, espero que con el tiempo (Que con el tiempo)
Los dos encontremos (Los dos encontremos) paz mental
A veces, la ruta menos transitada es una ruta que es mejor dejar
[Coro]
Así que espero aprender a superarme a mí misma
A dejar de intentar ser alguien más
Oh, solo quiero amarte, amarte gratis
Porque todos quieren algo de mí, tú solo me quieres a mí
[Refrán]
Mejor créeme que estoy intentando (Intentando, intentando)
Seguir escalando (Escalando, escalando)
Pero mientras más alto escalamos, se siente como si ninguno de los dos fuera más sabio

Hey there @ebingo
I love piano songs too, and cool you have chosen to play this one. Well, grace note, as I said, dont pay too much attention to the grace note but the main one, there the support and weight of your arm have to go ;)
You are doing well, and grace notes, scales, and all will come with time.
Btw, you say you were trying to search for the chords by ear... DO you sometimes use scores? Or chords, for the guitar it is always easy to find on the net, so you can easily transform them into piano chords. Don't know, just a suggestion, but if you like to spend your time trying to find out them by yourself, well it is fun too ;D Seriously. It can be interesting and you can also learn through it, and fro the next songs it is every time easier and easier to decode the songs, as mainly they to by patterns, that are widely used.
Keep up the good work 😉
It is a lovely song indeed.
I'm working on a sam smith song with one grace note. I've been ignoring the initial key before the main key. While I rehearse it I'll consciously add it till int blends in subconsciously like the other notes.
Its all muscle memory and I'll keep on with it.
As for playing by ear the first step for me is to get the main scale of the song then the progression follows.
I've found that some chords sound alike but the 1st chord is very distinct. Like Cmaj on Key C. But I could mistake it with Amin sometimes🙈...and Amin sometimes sounds like Fmaj and Fmaj like Dmin
Sang with passion as always Ebingo, that is probably what I love the most about your music.
I like to see a singer connect with their music like you do... nice one 👏
Thanks @almostsober ...you sha call me bingo...I hope heato r something nice from you this week
Guyn check na, I don correct am since.. why do you like to dwell in the past guy
