Reflection

REFLECT ON THIS: Someone Like You - Adele
This song is related/connected to the scenario of Sarah and Daryl (in our discussion about commitment; make sure you have watched the video in Week 2 before answering the following discussion questions).
This song tells a story. Listen to the song up to the end and pay attention to the LYRICS of the song which gives the story and the message. Then, answer the discussion questions that follow.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: (answer in 5-10 sentences per question)
1. What is the song all about? What are the main parts/messages of the song that give the story? Explain and give supporting statements found in the lyrics/message.

    "Someone Like You" by Adele is a song about someone who saw their former partner. In the lyrics, "I heard that you're settled down, that you found a girl and you're married now," it shows that the former lover as already moved on from the past. This contradicts the next lyrics, "I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over", which shows that the main character, who is in our point of view, hasn't really moved on from their ex. This sets the story's premise where we see how in relationships, there will always be this one person who will move on faster. The song proceeds to show how the main character laments over their ended relationship, as it hurts them more that their past lover has already started a new chapter without them. This song serves as a reminder that it is normal to hurt when you see your past with someone new and maybe better. Although it will hurt to see them move on from you fast that, it will help us realize that we too can move on, we just need time and patience. 

2. Cite a line or lines in the song that touched or impacted you the most and explain why. 

    "Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead". For me, this line in the song had the most impact on me, as this summarizes what we should always expect when we get into relationships. Although I had to analyze it a bit more, this line had stuck on me as it makes me feel more emotions than the other set of lyrics, especially with its great composition. This set of lyrics will remind us that sometimes, love can last and make us happy whilst to others, it can be the one that breaks and hurts them the most. It is a reminder for us that in every relationship, whether it be platonic or romantic, we will always have different perspectives about the love we feel and express. With this, we should always remember that although we are uncertain about the fate of our relationship, we should remind ourselves that all will be alright, our feelings are valid, and that the joy and pain we'll experience will always a part of our growth as human beings.

Enumerate each and explain.      I often try to express my love for others through words and gestures as I think that is it essential for every relationship. I often show my affection through words of affirmation since I always want to motivate them through tough times. I also often express my love by giving a lot of hugs, since I want my loved ones to feel warmth and comfort. I always try to lend a helping hand mentally and/or physically, because I want them to know that I will always be there in times of trouble.
