Someone Like Me/O Sole Mio


Thanks for reading, and if you want to know more about the stuff I've played, check out my other posts, or follow me @MPounceMusic on Twitter.

Every Friday, www.MPounce.co.uk will have 2 new Piano videos for you to enjoy!


Hi all,
I released 2 more new pieces of music over the weekend, "Someone Like You" by Adele, and "O Sole Mio" by Luciano Pavarotti. They're on YouTube, or MPounce.co.uk. or on this page!


This track is a cover of Adele's well known song, "Someone Like you", which is a heartfelt song based on the relationship she had with an ex-boyfreind. Many people think this person she knew must have been bad, but this song puts a different light on the relationship. It isn't as bad as the image portrayed in "Rolling in the Deep" and "Rumour has it". I hope you enjoy this version. The Lyrics are below. My tracks don't always follow the lyrics, but you should be able to recognise which parts are chorus/verse/bridge etc.



I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead



O Sole Mio is a well known Neapolitan song, translated litterally, the title means "My Sunshine". The original lyrics are written in the original Neapolitan language (early Italian). It was performed most notably by Luciano Pavarotti but the lyrics were written by Giovanni Capurro and the melody by Eduardo di Capua

Here are the lyrics in English:

What a beautiful thing is a sunny day!
The air is serene after a storm,
The air is so fresh that it already feels like a celebration.
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day!


But another sun that's brighter still,
It's my own sun that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun, it's upon your face!
It's upon your face!


When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I almost start feeling melancholy;
I'd stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.


But another sun that's brighter still,
It's my own sun that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun, it's upon your face!
It's upon your face!
