Meaning of Cold Shoulder Lyrics by Adele

If you aren’t a fan of this young singer, then you must listen to one of her memorable songs "Cold Shoulder". This is the third single from her debut album 19. This song was recorded digitally in Ireland on March 30th 2008 while in the UK.  Out of all the songs from this album, Mark Ronson produced “Cold Shoulder”. Stuart Zender, an Ex-Jamiroquai bassist played for the song, he is also a member of the touring band Mark Ronson. Adele gave a rocking performance of this song on February 8, 2008 on a Friday Night along with Jools Holland. In addition to this, she also performed on this song on Saturday Night live while she was doing the show in October of 2008. A remix version of this song is also available which Basement Jaxx did. This remix is also getting popularity everywhere.

This song was so successful that a video on this song was shot in London in February of 2008. After that, it has been aired on different music channels in the United Kingdom. Do you any idea what inspired Adele to write such a touching song?

The main protagonist of “Cold Shoulder” is a boy.  A boy and a girl love each other very much. But some argument has taken place between the two of them. The girl has made the mistake, not the boy. That is why he is avoiding her. He wants to talk to her but there is something, which is holding him back. The boy looks at her like a stranger and as if there is no relation between them. After seeing such things, the girl is very hurt and she asks the boy the reason. The boy just refuses to tell her. That is why the girl thinks that they have wasted their time together and she now has understood that the boy never loved her and nor will he ever.

We think every boy is similar to this boy in a way. They don’t know anything whenever you ask them. Besides this, they always are confused. At a moment they think they are in love while at the second moment they will deny it. This is similar to many real life stories of boy meets girl.

Cold Shoulder Chorus:

"You grace me with your cold shoulder, Whenever you look at me I wish I was her, You shower me with words made of knives, Whenever you look at me I wish I was her"
