Product Description
"Make You Feel My Love", also known as "To Make You Feel My Love", is a song written by Bob Dylan for his album Time Out of Mind, released in September 1997. It was first released commercially in August 1997 by Billy Joel for his compilation album Greatest Hits Volume III.
It is one of the few songs to have achieved the status of becoming a "standard" in the 21st century, having been covered by more than 450 different artists.
In 2007, English singer-songwriter Adele recorded "Make You Feel My Love" for her debut studio album 19 (2008). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on October 27, 2008, both on CD and vinyl, originally peaking at number 26.
"Make You Feel My Love" is the only cover version on 19; Adele either wrote or co-wrote all the other tracks.
Although she did not want a cover version on her album, as she was worried it would imply she was incapable of writing enough of her own songs, she listened to the song under pressure from her manager, Jonathan Dickins and loved it. She told the Huddersfield Daily Examiner:
I wrote nine songs in a short space of time, all about this awful relationship I was in. I never quite got down what I was really feeling in those songs, though. It wasn't that I was holding back or anything, but I just couldn't get it down. I was bitterly upset and then [Dickins] played me this Bob Dylan song 'Make You Feel My Love'. The lyrics are just amazing and summed up exactly what I'd been trying to say in my songs. It's about regretting not being with someone and it's beautiful. It's weird that my favourite song on my album is a cover, but I couldn't not put it on there. I'm not normally a Dylan fan either.
Well, I have been pondering on arranging it for a brass quintet, as the chord progressions should sound good on it. Here it is for your enjoyment of this beautiful and highly covered song.
