Then I played it for her and she loved it and she cried, but the (initial) thought of someone ruining a Cure song fills her with despair. I said, 'Oh mum, I've covered "Lovesong," it's a bossa nova version' and she was mortified. Īdele has also talked about her mother's response to her cover of the song: She must have sung the song, I don't know, 30 times in a row. She sang it so much, when we worked on it when the band was playing it, she sang. You just have to set up a mic and let her sing it. You don't have to do anything to get her to sing great. I mean, she sings everything so beautifully. Rick Rubin elaborated on the recording process in an interview with Rolling Stone, stating: It also brought the entire production team to tears. She performed the song anyways, which had given it a beautiful element and a very special sentimental value. Adele had gone into the recording studio to perform the song, although she had lost her voice. Her cover of the song received generally positive reviews, as well. She said performing the song had set her free in a way. Adele found comfort in her friends and family, specifically her mother, whom she dedicated the song to, to help with the homesickness. Adele said the song was very touching, and when she had been in Malibu, she had become homesick, and decided to perform a cover of the song to help. Ultimately, four other songs were cut from the album, and "Lovesong," " Set Fire to the Rain," " He Won't Go," and " I'll Be Waiting" were added instead.Īdele had first heard this song at her first concert ever, which happened to be The Cure. "Lovesong," which replaced " Never Tear Us Apart" as the only song cover on the album, almost didn't make the final cut, as it was not included in the original track listing. Adele's cover of the song peaked at #18 on Billboard Jazz Songs. Modern Rock Tracks chart (reaching #1) than The Cure original (which peaked at #2). This version actually charted higher on the U.S. Though the song has been covered by several artists, the most famous and successful cover is the 2004 version by American reggae rock band 311, recorded for the soundtrack for the film 50 First Dates and also released as a single. The song saw considerable success in the United States, where it was the band's only top ten pop hit in the United Kingdom, however, the single only charted in the top twenty. It is a song originally recorded by the English alternative rock band The Cure, released as the third single from their eighth studio album Disintegration in 1989.
