bbc music correspondent mark savage has this report. # there ain't no gold in this river...t you both first # but now i give up... there is something hopeful about it as well as sad, but obviously i bawled my eyes out when i was writing it and when i was singing it for the recording and stuff like that, but there's an element of hope in it which in turn gave me hope because i was at my wits�* end in the beginning of 2019. the song is about seeking forgiveness for her part in the breakdown of the relationship. adele has said her new album is, in part, an attempt to explain that situation to her nine—year—old son when he's older. great art is made from great pain. when we heard she'd broken up, you think, inevitably, as sad as it is for everybody concerned, there are going to be some really good songs coming out of the pain that she's been through, and i really admire the honesty for her to talk about so openly what has happened and all the feelings that she's had. # we could have had it all... adele's new record comes with big expectations. she already has 15 grammies, one os
