Musical Lesson: Noun clauses


Adele:  "Someone Like You"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qemWRToNYJY

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

  1. STAY: LISA LOEB

    YOU SAY I ONLY HEAR WHAT I WANT TO.
    YOU SAY I TALK SO ALL THE TIME SO.

    AND I THOUGHT WHAT I FELT WAS SIMPLE,
    AND I THOUGHT THAT I DON'T BELONG,
    AND NOW THAT I AM LEAVING,
    NOW I KNOW THAT I DID SOMETHING WRONG 'CAUSE I MISS YOU.

    Yeah, I missed you.

    AND YOU SAY I ONLY HEAR WHAT I WANT TO:

    I don't listen hard,
    I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
    Or to anyone, anywhere,

    I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF YOU REALLY CARE,

    I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no (bad)

    And so I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
    And this woman was singin' my song:
    The lover's in love and the other's run away,
    The lover is cryin' 'cause the other won't stay.

    Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
    Dying since the day they were born.
    Well, this is not that:

    I THINK THAT I'M THROWING, BUT I'M THROWN.

    AND I THOUGHT I'D LIVE FOREVER, BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE.

    YOU TRY TO TELL ME THAT I'M CLEVER,

    But that won't take my anyhow, or anywhere with you.

    YOU SAID THAT I WAS NAIVE,
    AND I THOUGHT THAT I WAS STRONG.

    I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."

    Oh but now I KNOW THAT I WAS WRONG, 'CAUSE I MISS YOU.

    You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go."
    You try to give away a keeper, or keep me

    'cause YOU KNOW YOU'RE JUST SO SCARED TO LOSE.

    And you say, "Stay."

    YOU SAY I ONLY HEAR WHAT I WANT TO.

  2. Imagine
    by John Lennon

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRhq-yO1KN8

    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today...

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace...

    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...

    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

  3. Heartbeats fast
    Colors and promises
    HOW TO BE BRAVE
    HOW CAN I LOVE WHEN I'M AFRAID TO FALL
    But watching you stand alone
    All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
    One step closer

    I have died everyday waiting for you
    Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
    For a thousand years
    I love you for a thousand more

    Time stands still
    Beauty in all she is
    I will be brave
    I will not let anything take away
    WHAT'S STANDING IN FRONT OF ME
    Every breath
    Every hour has come to this
    One step closer
    I have died every day waiting for you
    Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
    For a thousand years
    I love you for a thousand more

  4. Somebody That I Used To Know

    Now and then I think of when we were together
    Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
    Told myself that you were right for me
    But felt so lonely in your company
    But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

    You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
    Like resignation to the end, always the end
    So when we found that we could not make sense
    Well you said that we would still be friends
    But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    No you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know

    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know

    Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
    Part of me believing it was always something that I'd done
    But I don't wanna live that way
    Reading into every word you say
    You said that you could let it go
    And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    No you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know

    Somebody(I used to know)
    Somebody(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

    (I used to know)(That I used to know)
    (I used to know)Somebody

    1. I love the song, but can you show me the noun clauses by highlighting or capitalizing them?

      This would be a very good song to enter for the adjective clause contest, which is coming next. Actually, this was going to be the song that I was going to give as an example.

    2. Could you please tell me how to edit this song? I don't find "edit" icon. Thanks!
