All I Ask by Adele
This is the tenth track on the album "25" by Adele. The song was written by Adele, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence and Christopher Brody Brown, and produced by Mars and Lawrence's songwriting and record producing team The Smeezingtons.
Lyrically, the song is about looking for one last night with a lover,
before they go their separate ways. "All I Ask" received positive
reviews from music critics, with many of them viewing it as an album
highlight (Wikipedia). Overall, I think this song tells of a person's desire to be with a loved one as a last farewell of them. Lyrically, the song is about a person who wishes to have a special relationship with a loved one. Despite of the lyrics to this song like a loved one do not have the same feeling as the main character in this song. The feeling of love is like love being hung by someone. This is very sad to be felt especially if our position as a woman who hopes loved by a man, but the man does not love us. Of course we would have felt very sad and disappointed.
We can see how this story starts from the first verse of this song. I will leave my heart at the door. I won't say a word. They've all been said before, you know. So why don't we just play pretend. Like we're not scared of what is coming next. Or scared of having nothing left. This indicates an expectation that has run aground in the street. We hope something like that was impossible to accomplish. We like already resigned to the situation and can not do anything. It is spoken of in this verse, which is like leaving our hearts in front of a door that can be analogized as a 'door of one's heart'. It is like we are waiting for someone to open the door for us. We can only wait until someone came and opened the door for us. But in this case the conditions are a little different, it is like we are knocking home that had long uninhabited and wished someone had opened the door for us. Therefore, the phrase, I will leave my heart at the door, mean we just hope there is someone who opened the door and took our hearts we have left in front of a door. It is like a state of rope hanging on tree branches that had rotted. Next is a phrase that brings us to an important point in this track. Look, don't get me wrong. I know there is no tomorrow. All I ask is. It tells about the certainty of already known by key figures in this song. She already knew what would happen next and she was like knowing that there is no hope for tomorrow because actually there is no more tomorrow.
Next is the chorus that the core is important in this song. If this is my last night with you. Hold me like I'm more than just a friend. Give me a memory I can use. Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do. It matters how this ends. Cause what if I never love again? It is like a last request from one person to the person she loves. She hoped to be able to have a more special relationship is more than just friendship. She wants to be able to have a loving relationship with the person she loves. It is seemed to be an appeal and the questions that have always wanted to ask, what if someday she never love again. She afraid of tomorrow that can not be guessed. She afraid of the events that occurred on tomorrow. She just wants to be able to have someone who considers herself as a lover. She does not care how the end of all this, he just wants to be perceived as a lover. Furthermore, we can see that the main character in this song actually have to know exactly what happened. I don't need your honesty. It's already in your eyes. And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me. No one knows me like you do. And since you're the only one that matters. Tell me who do I run to? All of this is already apparent from the signs perceived by the main character of this song. She understood what really happened. However, only one of which becomes the request of the main character of this song, namely to whom she should run from all these issues.
We would often expect anything to happen according to the plan or will. We want everything we have planned to run well. We will be upset if the plans which we have collated got a hitch. But we should not behave like that. We must surrender all things to God. God will help us to live our lives. We can not do anything without asking for help from God. As in this song, we hope for something uncertain. Certainty indeed belongs to God. In this song certainty and hope someone is put to a loved one. We may have experienced this, we hope someone also have the same feeling with us. Maybe it is a little selfish, but I am sure most people expect the same thing. Most people would want to have a special relationship with loved ones. But here we can learn something, we should not impose our will. We should not really expect it to someone, because the real expectations we have placed in God's hands. God's plan does not always go according to our will, we can not impose our will. We must entrust everything to God.
"All I Ask" strips back instrumentation to piano only and has been described as sounding different from the rest of modern pop (Rosen, 2015; LeDonne, 2015). According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is written in the key of E major with a tempo of 71 beats per minute in common time. It follows a chord progression of E–G♯m–Asus2–B, and Adele's vocals span from E3 to D5 (Adele, 2015). From the a musical instrument, I really like this song. As I was listening to this song, I like repeating listen to this song. This song is very fun to be enjoyed. Strains of piano sounds which shady coupled with a blend of good lyrics make this song feels so special. I recommend to you to listen to this song. This song is recommended for people who are in love and I hope not to have a story like that contained in this song. This song is suitable listen to while we were relaxing, when you're learning, or as a lullaby. Ok, for more details, just see the lyrics below, check it out guys ;)
The Lyrics of All I Ask by Adele
I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what is coming next
Or scared of having nothing left
Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?
I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?
Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?
Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?
