When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me, yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me, yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

classic voice.
One of the great voices of our time. Not her best song, but still enjoyable on the off night.
now this is something i never expected too hear on radio paradise
Sounds like a Carole King song. Nice.

There appears to be a segment of RP listeners who post scathing comments on any musical artist who achieves tremendous success on commercial radio and in the general public. These "elitists" mistakenly (from my perspective) place themselves on pedestals from which they can peer down at the masses of people who don't seem to know what qualifies as "great music".
NEWS FLASH! You listeners are the only ones who think you belong on those pedestals. Look at the ratings from other RP listeners if you dispute my assertion. Consider the fact that Adele was only 19 years old when she produced this album! To post that she is "talentless" is a very clear indicator that the finger you are pointing needs to be turned around.

I use to think this song was singer proof
Probably a great song, and a great recording. Hard pass for me though. Thanks anyway.

Very nice cover version. Before she turned into fake and plastic. Such a pity.
I'm not usually an Adele fan, though this song makes me think it might have been her usual choice of songs because - I'm loving this. Also, nice touch Bill to follow this with Bob doing his Desolation Row next in the queue.
Unrealistic

Beautiful words and music from Mr Robert Allen Zimmerman. I love Adele's voice and think she has done justice to a great song. She is a songwriter too you know and has written some belters. Bryan Ferry's version of this is well worth a listen. It has been covered by many artists because they want to pay homage to such a great piece of music.
She gave it her best shot I suppose. Wonder what Mr. Zimmerman thinks of her version?
Seems to me that Adele falls into the category of "talent" that is most likely to be found on some show that Simon Cowell is judging. Not saying that she is without merit; but the stain of hit-making, over-production is pretty evident....the musical equivalent of a hollywood block-buster...a candy treat, but I'd rather see a small budget indy film please...

You can't even do basic arithmetic. 99.98 + 0.1 = 100.08.

I found this very touching. I was unaware of all the other versions.

Come on, doesn't everyone know you can never say anything negative about dylan, the beatles, or joplin here. They are the sacred cows that can't be touched. They were perfect.

Adele has some great tunes, but does the world really need another bland ballad?

Let's face the music. She has attained stratospheric levels in the industry. Sure, we would have liked to see see Mumford and whoever sweep the Grammy's but it was her turn (again). Would you rather listen to Whitney Houston?

Is it okay to start hating her? Maybe it's overexposure. Maybe I'm just jealous of her talent (and her youth?). But I'm sick of her voice. Thanks in advance for telling me what an idiot I am.

I'm not sure what it is about Edele but I just don't like the voice at all. It could be her inflections, lack of passion, sameness of sound, raspiness, or all the above. Whatever it is it causes a bit of a cringe down in my soul.

Well done Mr. Dylan, well done.
Above taken from the wiki article, interestingly enough Billy Joel's cover, was released 2 months before Dylan's.

This rates a big whatever. She has a choice to make, work with interesting songwriters, producers, and musicians or go the route of the Josh Grobin's and Michael Buble's of the world. I hope she chooses the former.

I think it's got less to do with music and more to do with the emotions (or lack thereof) being conveyed.

Started crying at my desk. Thought I was manstrating, but just realized this Adele song was on RP. 9.

first time hearing this...agreed needs a raspy, worn voice, not a light lifting one...seems to lack the desperation and pleas of an older voice.
just my take...Billy Joel does it best.

Wow, powerful version of a great song! This song is easily consumed with a glass of wine and a heavy heart.

Ah well, sounds like we're entering a RP doldrum spell. Is this the young singer who's being so lauded by the Press? If so, it would be interesting to hear her sing something a bit more powerful, as there are hints of power and depth in her voice. This material, though, is plain dullsville. 3 from the soporific Nottingham jury

Not a country music fan at all, but I will have to say that Garth Brooks version is by far the best!

Adele has a very pretty voice, but lyrics like this mean so much more when it sounds like the performer has lived through lots of those "wild-blowing winds of change."
And considering Adele was 19 at the time she recorded the album, she should get added credit. Now at the ripe old age of 21, she's put out another excellent album.
After years of exposure to Bob Dylan at home, my daughter played this yesterday as something that had been recommended by a friend. She thinks he can't sing (after seeing the Grammy performance, who can dispute this?), but now she has an appreciation for his song writing. Adele has a refreshingly good voice, especially refreshing after hearing far too much of the poppy singers that are so popular today.
Nice!
The young lady can sing. 
Thanks Bill. I saw her name on the Grammy winner list and wondered who she was.
um.... this sounds way to poppy and top 40 to be on RP.
...but it is Valentine's Day, I suppose.
