ADELE - Make You Feel My Love

Adele's cover of Dylans's to make you feel my love is really quite beautiful. FYI she's not lip synching in the video, she was filmed singing live. Which is pretty interesting and very cool in this day and age. The album cut of the song and video stirred up quite dichotomous emotions in me. The single sounds hopeful and pretty and almost like a spontanous outpouring of devotion in a candid moment, while the video on the other hand felt depressing and desperate. (yet in no way detracting from the song's appeal) More like supplication to an errant boyfriend or love. Whom I suppose actually does call in the end, albiet well past 4am, but lets not split hairs....Maybe I'd do better to just enjoy the song without being overly analytical.
I wanted to find a clip of Bob Dylan performing the song, just to compare and contrast, but really audio sucked on all the clips I found on youtube...unless I wanted to suffer through a "tribute" video...and really I think we're all better for not viewing one of those...oh well
