Adele – Hometown Glory Lyrics 17 years ago
I adore this song. It takes a lot to make me stand up and say such a thing. With the charts full of meaningless lyrics this is breath of fresh air.

I understand how it can be about London. It resonates with me on why I live in the city. For all the awful things which happen within it, London is still a great city because of the connections we choose to make.

When I first heard it I mistook:

"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?"

for something to do with the 7/7 bombings. I don't think it does anymore but it would have made a great tribute song though. The lines:

"I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united"

really would make you think about 7/7 but again, I think there isn't anything to it.
