So, it's the end of Series 3: there have been ups, there have been downs, there have been highs, there have been lows. So it's only fitting that this, the final playlist of the series, contains similar extremes in music form.
There's some shouty rock (Courtney Love), some deep soulful jazz (Nina Simone), a whole pile of moody electronica (Loka, Yppah, Paris Suit Yourself) and there's a daft song about the days of the week (the Cure).
And then, right at the end there - the penultimate triumph of the whole series - is THAT song. Y'know the one. It's been all over the X Factor since September, it's been sitting pretty in the charts for much the same length of time, and it has appeared on TV trails for, well, any number of devastating drama shows. And yet, despite all the attention and exposure, it remains a song which can stop the unwary in their tracks.
Adele's 'Make You Feel My Love' has been one of those quietly adored songs ever since it first came out in 2008. Not a massive hit at first - it only reached No.26 - the song has been passed from person to person like a beautiful secret gem, something red and slightly scuffed, but still enormously bright and clear.
The original version, by Bob Dylan, was less raw, and more reassuring. It was an offer of support from someone old and experienced to someone scared and a little unsure. By stripping back on the lush instrumentation, Adele's version is more urgent, as if she's saying this stuff for the very first time to someone who had no idea she feels this way, and she just HAS to get her message through.
That's probably why people get so very poleaxed by it. It's the kind of song you would love to be able to sing yourself,, or have sung to you.
Don't get scard, I'm not going to sing it. But it is here, on the .
