    I want to thank Adele for this song. This song somehow found its way into my life at the most perfect time. I was going after a woman who really wasn't the one. She had her own life that she was trying to live, a life that did not coincide with mine. I do not believe she cared for who I was, nor saw who exactly I was. Little did I know, after I stopped pursuing this woman, some other amazing person stepped into my life and has truly blessed me. She loves me unconditionally and I connect so much with her.
    I gave up instead of chasing pavements, and found myself on the horizon. To everyone, always remember to leave those toxic pursuits. There will always be something better beyond. You may not see it at the time, but you must trust that everything will be ok.

    the reason why i cant get over with this song is because of the meaning of chasing pavemeents my friend told me.
    Chasing pavements itself means trying to achieve something that already destined to failure, usually as a result of blind hope, or pointless hope. The phrase of “chasing pavements” refers to following the pavements aimlessly

    I lost my big sister to domestic violence some years back now. She was such a beautiful person and a wonderful mother. She was my music bestie, and I know how much Adele's music meant to her. Every time I listen to her music it's like Makaila is right there with me and I get all choked up. It's the most bittersweet feeling I've yet encountered in my 36 years.

      Sara - Of course, i didn't mean in any way to suggest otherwise. It's just that life experience significantly heightens your value of relationships, love and loss and as someone who has been very happily married for 20 years I still find it surprising that someone of 19 (her age when she wrote this song) could absolutely NAIL the very deepest emotions in such a way. Like I suggested, she has a staggering and prodigious talent - proven by her continued musical excellence. I guess it also means that we older individuals should NEVER underestimate the younger members of society!

    This is my favourite Adele song. Not her very popular ones like Hello, Easy on me, etc but this one. There is something so captivating to me about this simple song. This is my first time watching the music video. I always only heard this on Spotify. Even the music video was so wonderful. The choreography was really graceful. I always hesitated to look up the meaning of the song. If I knew the meaning, maybe I won't like it like I used to before. For now I just feel the music and it means what I want it to mean. But I have decided that I will not do that anymore. I am going to understand this from her perspective. No more putting it off.
    Thank you Adele.

    "The song was inspired by an incident Adele had with a former boyfriend of six months. After learning he had cheated on her, she went to the bar he was at and punched him in the face. After being thrown out, Adele walked down the street alone and thought to herself, "What is it you're chasing? You're chasing an empty pavement." She sang and recorded it on her mobile phone and arranged the chords when she got home."

    "Chasing Pavements"
    I've made up my mind
    Don't need to think it over
    If I'm wrong, I am right
    Don't need to look no further
    This ain't lust
    I know this is love
    But if I tell the world
    I'll never say enough
    'Cause it was not said to you
    And that's exactly what I need to do
    If I end up with you
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
    Even if it leads nowhere?
    Or would it be a waste
    Even if I knew my place?
    Should I leave it there?
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
    Even if it leads nowhere?
    I build myself up
    And fly around in circles
    Waitin' as my heart drops
    And my back begins to tingle
    Finally, could this be it
    Or should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
    Even if it leads nowhere?
    Or would it be a waste
    Even if I knew my place?
    Should I leave it there?
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
    Even if it leads nowhere?
    Should I give up?
    Or should I just keep on chasin' pavements
    Even if it leads nowhere?
    Or would it be a waste
    Even if I knew my place?
    Should I leave it there?

    Dear credit card, should I give up or should I just keep on making payments even if it leads no where? I wouldn’t be in debt if I had known my place. Should I keep on making payments even if it leads no where? Uuuuhhhh 🎼 🎶

      ...but ALWAYS keep those memories close to your heart even if it's painful...store them away until your ready to use them. It'll be ok.

      Unrequited love can be just as heartbreaking as a breakup. Less closure and a lot of the time you can’t really talk to anyone about it.

    I think of this song randomly all the time and it's one of the ear worms I don't mind. I remember when it came out, the music video would play on vh1 at maybe 11 at night when I woke up on the couch. My sister liked to hog the TV watching her mtv shows so I would just hang out. The only time I would get any TV was late at night and the music channels only ever caught my eye.
