Send My Love (to Your New Lover) by Adele
This is the second track on the album "25" by Adele. Overall, I think this song tells of a commitment that can not be kept by a person in a loving relationship. Lyrically, the song's main character insinuated a former lover who had been having an affair with someone else. From the lyrics of the song, we see the feelings of the main character who has been let down because she is had been abandoned by her lover. She has promised a commitment to stay together, but her boyfriend did not keep that commitment and instead leave it. But in this song we see that the main character to accept this gracefully and even she is a mature way of responding to infidelity. We could see their story from the first verse. This was all you, none of it me. You put your hands on, on my body and told me. You told me you were ready. For the big one, for the big jump. I'd be your last. love everlasting you and me. That was what you told me. I'm giving you up. I've forgiven it all. You set me free. We can see the promise spoken by a lover of the main character of this song. We can understand the commitment promised by her lover. He was so skilled in wooing the main character to establish a romantic relationship with him. From this verse we see that the main character does not want to be blamed for all this, because all these mistakes are caused by the lover. She was aware of the false promises spoken by the lover in knowing the lover affair with someone else.
Next we can see a mature attitude of the main character through the chorus of this song. Send my love to your new lover. Treat her better. We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts. We both know we ain't kids no more. Send my love to your new lover. Treat her better. We gotta let go of all of our ghosts. We both know we ain't kids no more. We see the maturity shown by the main character to the her former lover. She even convey her greetings to her former lover to be delivered to his new girlfriend. She said that to treat his new girlfriend well and do not leave like he did with the main character. It is very rare to see so mature attitude of the main character.
This song teaches us a sense of sincerity. We could see the eagerness of the main character even though she has been betrayed by her former lover. She looks so mature in dealing with this case. She also gives the right decision by not putting her ego. She received the decision her former lover with a big heart. She also showed her class to convey her greetings to the new lover of the her former lover. She also reminding her former lover to keep and protect his new lover. We can imitate the attitude of the main character of this song. We rarely meet people like this. Usually we will put our ego in dealing with this kind of thing. Especially when we face is infidelity cases like this, we would be very angry and upset with our lovers. We also promised not to meet with him again. This is where the uniqueness of a song, although this is only a story told in a song, but we can take a lesson from this song. We always have to be as quiet as possible in taking a decision. We must think critically and not to prioritize our ego.
