So one of my oddish (haha pokemon ref) headcanons is Adele is a fae in the Twisted Wonderland universe and all the Diasomnia cast listens to her music.

(Scroll for ramble + char interactions)

This all started when Maleanor was OBSESSED with her music when she was a preteen. Lilia had to go to ALL her performances to watch Maleanor. He used to hate her music too. He wasn't much for sad music.

Now overtime her obsession chilled, but she never stopped liking Adele's music.

(was rushing)

I did a lil doodle. Yes they're bad ik

Adele's music became a reminder of Maleanor. So now when he listens to it he thinks of all the memories of going to the shows, being scolded for singing the words wrong, listening to his pal fangirl etc.

He learned to like Adele's music and now most of her songs are sprinkled into his playlist. (Personally I see him liking the majority of the uppity genres. I feel like he wouldn't be a fan of sad songs.)

[again more doodles. Also fun fact Set Fire To The Rain is her most popular song as of now]

Lilia showed Adele to both Malleus and Silver, both grew fond of her music. Nothing close to Maleanor ofc but still.

Sebek learned to love her music because his beloved Waka-sama did. (I see him being a country fan)

Just to be silly I wanna say as generations go by it becomes a Vanrouge tradition. All Vanrouges like Adele guys she's awesome! 🔥

(semi unrelated but my keyboard tried turning that into an emoji)

Now some interactions just because.

🦇

Cater:Hey Lils I thought you said you don't listen to sad music

LiliA: I don't

Cater: then why are you listening to Adele?

Lilia:Her songs make me happy

Cater:But her mu- okay whatevs ig!

🦇

Young Maleanor:Mommy mommy can I please go see Adele's performance tonight?!?!

Maleficia:Not without protection

Maleanor: Do Lilia and Levan count

Maleficia: *Sigh* Fine. But be home by 10.

...

Lilia: I can't believe you dragged me out for a stupid concert.

Maleanor: It'll be worth it!!

Levan:I think it'll be fun

Lilia: you're only saying that because you're a pushover

Levan: am not

Lilia: you are

Maleanor:shut up you idiots it's starting!

🦇

Levan: UH SWEETIE (calling from the hallway)

Maleanor:YES DEAR?

Levan: uhm why does it say we made a hefty donation to a music company (ignore the fact they didn't have those back in the day)

*he shows her the papers*

Maleanor:I needed to help support Adele's new album!

Levan: but sweetie how are we going to pay our staff for the next month?

Maleanor: We'll have Lilia help

Levan:e-even with the cooking?

Maleanor:...We might need to make some extra cash.

🦇

Floyd: Lalalal- urk! What'd I bump into?

Or should I say WHO?

Jellyfish is asleep in the middle of the sidewalk. Again!

Ooo he has his headphones on. Wonder what he's listening to

*he puts them on*

Ew this is so lame.

*he drops them on silver's face*

Silver: I'm awake!

🦇

Anyways if you're still here that's awesome. My suggestions are open! You should totally pop up there. Also comments appreciated!

Have a wonderhoytastic day!!

Today's compilation:

25 #1 Hits From 25 Years 1983 R&B / Soul / Girl Groups / Pop-Soul / Disco

Seriously, it's so wild to me that just three years before Motown put out this double-LP that took 25 of their #1 hits from a 25-year period, they released another compilation with the same concept that took 20 #1 hits from a 20-year period; and almost half the tunes between these two releases don't actually overlap at all! To put this in perspective, I don't think there's another record company in America, outside of enormous major labels that have been around for many more decades and have released music across a much broader spectrum of genres, that could put together even one volume of US chart-toppers. But if a single volume consists of roughly 20 to 25 songs, then Motown would need to put out a total of two volumes and change in order to cover every #1 hit that they've ever had! They're just so head-and-shoulders above everyone else.

And while the 20-songs-in-20-years comp put a lot of its focus on the 70s, this one operates chronologically, and starts in 1961 with Motown's first ever #1, the super catchy girl group classic, "Please Mr. Postman," by The Marvelettes. It doesn't then go on to provide every single #1 from the 60s from there, but the album still spends a little less than a third of its tracklist within that decade, which was a critically important part of Motown's history that the prior compilation really seemed to gloss over.

So, again, no obscurities here whatsoever on this thing, but I think this is the most definitive document of Motown's greatest hits that I've ever come across. And if you want even more #1s, you can take this one in tandem with 20/20: Twenty #1 Hits From Twenty Years at Motown too 😊.

Highlights:

The Marvelettes - "Please Mr. Postman" The Supremes - "Baby Love" The Temptations - "My Girl" The Four Tops - "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" Diana Ross & The Supremes - "You Can't Hurry Love" The Four Tops - "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" Marvin Gaye - "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" The Jackson 5 - "I Want You Back" The Jackson 5 - "ABC" Diana Ross - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" The Jackson 5 - "I'll Be There" Smokey Robinson & the Miracles - "Tears of a Clown" The Temptations - "Just My Imagination" Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On" Thelma Houston - "Don't Leave Me This Way" Marvin Gaye - "Got to Give It Up (Part 1)" The Temptations - "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" Eddie Kendricks - "Keep On Truckin'" Stevie Wonder - "Superstition" Rick James - "Give It To Me Baby" Stevie Wonder - "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" Marvin Gaye - "Let's Get It On"

Release: July 13, 2018

Lyrics:

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough

Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up

Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low

Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know

Ooh-oh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing

You say I am strong when I think I am weak

And you say I am held when I am falling short

And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours

And I believe (I)

Oh, I believe (I)

What You say of me (I)

I believe

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me

In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity

Ooh-oh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing

You say I am strong when I think I am weak

And you say I am held when I am falling short

When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours

And I believe (I)

Oh, I believe (I)

What You say of me (I)

Oh, I believe

Taking all I have, and now I'm laying it at Your feet

You have every failure, God, You have every victory

Ooh-oh

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing

You say I am strong when I think I am weak

You say I am held when I am falling short

When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours

And I believe (I)

Oh, I believe (I)

What You say of me (I)

I believe

Songwriter:

Oh, I believe (I)

Yes, I believe (I)

What You say of me (I)

I believe

SongFacts:

'You Say' was released on July 13, 2018 as the first single from her third studio album 'Look Up Child'. The song 'You Say' is about self worth and doubt. But in this difficult time you know who you can count on and this gives you strength and hope.

Performer Lauren Daigle describes her song as a tribute to hope: "I want this recording to be one of joy, a recording of hope that people will experience a childlike resemblance again. Taking this shot made me remember who I was as a kid. I want people to think about what their childhood was like and how do I see myself through those eyes again? How do I love myself like this again? where is this joy Where is that hope?”

The music video for 'You Say' was also released on July 13, 2018. In the video, performer Lauren Daigle can be seen singing the song at a lake house. The colors of the music video are very bright and the color yellow in particular stands out.
