Both Destinee and Adele show a lot of their personality in their lyrics, such as in the first verse, Adele sings about how attractive she finds a certain guy, showing her to be the more sexual one of the duo, while Destinee points out her still childlike side in the third line of the first verse, saying how she still likes dolls and Barbies. The song starts with the sound of a guitar strumming a very strong, but still mellow tune, a heavy drum beat joining it to give the song an indie rock feel. When Adele starts the song, her voice is strong and forceful, her jazzy undertoned voice giving her lyrics a very sexy feeling, while Destinee's voice gives her an angelic, childlike tone. When Destinee sings the first "I'm not over you yet," the drums stop and just the guitar plays a quick paced note over and over as Destinee holds ever syllable out while the sounds of Adele yelling "Hey! Hey! Hey!" are in the distance, barely audible over Destinee's high voice. In the third verse, the drums comes back in with a softer, more slowly spaced out beat, while the guitar plays one power chord over and over again, changing the feeling of the song from indie to a punk rock feel. They make the syllables longer again in the fourth verse with "I'd at least comb it anyway." In the fifth verse, Destinee and Adele go back to the indie rock feel that they had at the beginning of the song. The melody continues with about a :45 instrumental break in which the song grows stronger and stronger until it suddenly stops and Destinee sings "I'm not over you yet," and then it starts back up again for the last line, when the girls sing together. The music fades out with their voices. Destinee Adele Both You were always cute, but god damn, you got hot Hot enough to streak the streets white with sunspots when you walk And I'm still obsessed with dolls and Barbies And you biting your lip when you lose your breath I'm not over you yet (Hey! Hey! Hey!) I know I will not call, it's this decision I've made So I'm up all night chanting, vow I can't break I might bite my nails so I can't scratch my face But I'd still cut my hair if you asked the right way I'd at least comb it anyway You're still on my towels, in my eye rolls and scowls And I know what I did and why But that doesn't mean I can't regret it When I'm watching my TV all night I'm not over you yet I'm not over you yet SOUNDS LIKE:

Like their first single, Ballgame, this song originally had a much different feel to it, as the girls were still trying to find their sound. They toyed around with the lyrics and melody until they realizes that their voices sound much better at certain parts when they sing together, rather than when Adele sings alone (as the song was almost all Adele singing.) The song starts out the same way it was before. There is the sound of drum sticks tapping together and then it goes right into the song, Adele's voice starting us out with a calming tune to her voice as the guitars seem to echo that same calming feel in their melody. When Destinee joins in with Adele, the whole song takes on a much more relaxed tone, almost an easy listening type sound. When the song gets to Destinee's small solo part, "I'm trailing off again," the music becomes quieter, and Destinee stage whispers the lyrics over the sound of the quiet guitar and soft drum beat. When her two lines end, there's a very small instrumental break as the music slowly starts to grow louder, and returns back to it's original volume. Adele starts the verse off again, her voice a little bit more powerful than it was before. The verse continues on like that until they get to the "ohh, ohh, ohh's." The song takes on an almost Bruno Mars' "I'm Yours" feel after that, as they continue on until the end of the song, where the music has a slow fade out. Destinee Adele Both I have a wolf's mouth And it suits me I chew the sides out With my sharp teeth I cut my tongue up I make my gums bleed I scare the people, ohh Who pay to see me when I sing And I saw white steam Above your blue face It made my hands hot, ohh It made my lips bake And the sweat just makes my shirts stick To the scratch across my ribs That space where you fell from and I have never sewn up since, wow I'm trailing off again, I'm trailing off again I'm trailing off again, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh And the strain just makes my face tic And it messes with my head That space you tore open Well, I've had trouble sealing it, ohh, ohh, ohh (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) I have a wolf's mouth (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) I have a wolf's mouth (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) I have a wolf's mouth (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) I have a wolf's mouth (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) I have a wolf's mouth (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) I have a wolf's mouth (Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh) SOUNDS LIKE:

The song is about the heartbreak of being away from somebody you love, especially when you're away from them when your relationship isn't going so well. Both of their voices throughout the song sound very morose and depressed as they sing. They almost mummble throughout the song, as if getting out the words were very difficult for them to get out. The song starts with a very slow guitar melody. The guitar's sound could be interpreted as either very depressed or very relaxed. The way that it is interpreted is up to the listener. Destinee's voice comes through first, her voice quiet and soft as she sings. In the second verse, when Adele starts the sing, the melody speeds up a bit, as another acoustic gutiar joins in, playing a continuous, almost threatening sounding note over and over. Also, a tamborine joins in. Both of these instruments joins into the single acoustic melody make the song take on a more rushed, but hushed tone. When the song goes into the fourth verse, the other guitar and tamborine immediately stop, and it goes back to just the single acoustic guitar. And then again, in the sixth verse, the melody goes back to the quickened pace again, with another guitar and tamborine, that melody continues on until the end of the seventh verse. And then back to the original melody throughout verses 8-11, and then back to the sped up pace in verse 12, where the song comes to a sudden stop when Adele sings the last line, her voice fading out being the last thing you hear. The song isn't an exciting song, there are no big surprises or major key changes throughout it. It's a song made from emotion, and Destinee and Adele's focus was more on the lyrics to portray their emotion, and not on the music to do that for them. Destinee Adele Both The longer that I'm out here, the better you sound You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground I don't want to forget, so I'm writing it down Have you ever? No, never, never I found that hard to believe Let's burn the funiture To see how angry The fire can make me And you say that there's someone That you need to reconnect with Some scarecrow from highschool That you loved and never slept with A baby with a pipedream Playing hopscotch on your bandages And I'm singing all these songs While I sleep on your couch I'm coughing up a lung But I'm covering my mouth And I paint you on the wall Yellow, red, green, and brown I miss you all the time But I'm blocking it out Are you better? No, never, never What does that say about me? Now let's break the smoke alarm To see how scared Locked windows can make me You say there's a stranger Staring sideways in a deep freeze A loner draped in ivy Playing slumloud in his city dream A faker with an art form Pulling magic tricks On the weak girls up his sleeve And I'm choking right along With the words in my throat I'm falling back in love With the letter you wrote And I think that I was wrong But I guess I don't know I figured that I'll wait Until you tell me so The longer that I'm out here The better you sound You're scrunching up your face In this picture I found And I'm chasing after you Steadily losing ground I miss you all the time But I'm blocking it out And the longer that I'm out here The longer that I'm out here The longer that I'm out here The longer that I'm out here The better you sound SOUNDS LIKE:

None of DESTINEE&ADELE's singles were terribly popular when they were originally released in their first style, and so Destinee and Adele decided to change their music around to fit a sound that enjoyed more. While their original sound was much more fast paced and louder than this is, the song 'Noose Like a Necktie' starts sound with a pretty heavy guitar strum as Adele sings with it, the song immediately starting with the sound of Adele's voice joining the guitar. The sound of the song could be described as alternative country as it definitely has more of a country tone to it. In the middle of the first verse, at the line, "A slogan that we slap on all our misdirected date," a light drum beat joins the guitar and the girl's voices. The song continues on with a very mellow, but strong, beat until the second verse, where the guitars become slightly softer, and the drum beat becomes much faster. The drum beat becoming faster causes Destinee and Adele's voices to become faster as well as the song gives into the 'alternative' side of 'alternative country.' The beat continues on like this until near the end of the third verse, at the line, "Droning on and on and on and never doing what we wanted." At this line, the drum speeds up much more, the beat becoming one continuous strike on the drums as Adele's voice speeds up, the music building, until the fourth verse starts, in which there's a crash of a cymbal and the song goes into a faster version of the melody that it was playing in the first verse, this time with the drums playing along with it from the beginning. In between the penultimate and last verse, there's a small instrumental break, where the drums and guitar start to grow more and more intense until it meets the climax and the guitars fade out, leaving just the drums, who play a soft, slower beat which Destinee and Adele sing over until the song is over. The drums play one last short beat, and the song ends. Destinee Adele Both A Cadillac drives down my street A bead sweat pouring slow down a palm line I see a bumper sticker It’s a bearded man with a wanted sign A myth we’ve made to scare out fears away A slogan that we slap on all our misdirected date A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our pain But it’s really just a desert corpse We’ve painted on the wall out in some cave Anyway... I don’t know where he’s going to park that thing My neighborhood drunk’s online at the deli With his shaky hands and his swollen face, he waits for his coffee He blacks out curbside every night And every day crawls back towards Wall Street. So I don’t see it like it’s us and them I just see everybody working for that same eternal weekend Droning on and on and on and never doing what we wanted Heavy legs, two steps behind some forever dangling carrot. And I’m tired of this So who’s to say that we can’t fucking change it? And I know it seems dramatic And I treat it like a crisis The office to the coffin All our time and talent wasted And that weight against your throat Is that a noose dressed like a necktie? From here, I couldn’t really tell the difference Either way, I say let’s not take any chances Because I don’t know where he’s going to park that thing Well, I don’t know where he’s going to park that thing No, I don’t know where he’s going to park that thing SOUNDS LIKE: OOC: I'm really sorry that this video is literally the lamest thing on Earth, but it was the only one I could find that wasn't live. :( If it causes you to have flashbacks to middle school, I apologize.

Again, it has another acoustic tune to it, and it tells another story of love lost and mistakes made. What makes this song different from all the other songs on the CD is the story telling from the lyrics. Adele Gillet, the writer of this song, took memories from her past and made it into this acoustic ballad. Adele plays the guitar in the song as she and Destinee sing, their voices very quick, as is the tune. If you heard just the guitar, you would think the song was an highly uplifting song, but Destinee and Adele's voices bring in the melencoliness to the song with their voices harsh and quick. Inbetween the sixth and seventh verse, before Adele sings "The shake in your voice makes me feel empty and ugly," there's a break, where the guitar slows down considerably. When Adele sings, her voice is also slowed down and low. When Destinee and Adele sing together in the sixth verse, the sound of a violin joins them as they duet, the violin overpowering the gutiar for that moment. When Destinee begins to sing alone, the violin stops and the guitar joins back in with it's soft melody. As they sing into the eighth verse, the guitar slowly starts to speed up again until by the end of the eighth verse, it's back to it's original speed, leading into the ninth, which finishing out the song. Destinee Adele Both You carry the beach in your way too short hair That you shaved off last week because you freaked and got scared That when it's longer, you remind me of him So you offered it up with what passed for authority My strict sort of challenge, he directed straight at me You said, "Forget him, I don't care what you two were." So it's a trick on your ego, a two-step off tempo A solid gold bracelet under lights in a window In some shopping mall where I never go You play coy and count tiles, drag your feet through the water Raise your eyes, bite your cheek, and my mind's in the gutter You move at me, and take my face in your hands I feel light bulbs explode in a fire cracked thunder Sense the slow seismic shift of the sprawling cloud cover But when we're finished, I feel awful again So it's the same sorry story, just the cast changes nightly And it skips like a record, but it glows like a movie Or the country sky that I never see The shake in your voice makes me feel empty and ugly All scattered anger like a windstorm, howling violently And I want to fade out and wake up somewhere else Where no face is familiar, and I'm left by myself To keep plugging away on my own wasted time To eat badly, and spend all my money, and write To not feel too guilty, to be tired all night Since I'm not fixing things here, I'll leave them behind So you make your decision, because I'm through making mine Now I walk where the street swallows light like it's water I see the slant of your smirk on every kid at the corner But if you called, I'd never know what to say So I just hope you never will, because things are easier that way SOUNDS LIKE: Track 9 by I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business Edited by user 21 March 2013 11:14:39(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

DESTINEE&ADELE are all about showing emotion in their songs, but this is the only song on the CD where they show the emotion of anger. The song's heavy guitar rhythm, along with Destinee and Adele's voices, which are full throttle loud, almost yelling, gives the song that distinct sound of anger and disappointment. Throughout the song, Destinee's sweet voice sets up the first line, and then Adele's deeper, jazz-like voice comes in to finish it off. The song is very back-and-forth between the girls, until the line about ivy -- a metaphor for the many ivy league schools that America has -- where only Destinee sings, as only Destinee has been to college out of the two of them. Quote: Adele: "Look, we're not trying to say that America is the worst place on Earth. There's plenty of worse places in the world. We're just saying that America is the one that boasts about how great they are, when they're not. Like, every other country hates America, and America doesn't even realize it..." Quote: Destinee: "... New York City is kind of cool..." Destinee Adele America's a nation full of dumbbells Pulling night shifts at the gym America's a nation full of bookworn girls Dumbing down to fall in love with them America's a nation full of suspects Whistling Dixie at the scene And America's a nation full of bad detectives Selling clues to everyone we meet America's a nation full of envy Insecure and losing sleep America's a nation full of jealous boyfriends Driven nuts by facts and history America's a nation full of ivy It's wall to wall, to wall, all green America's a nation full of sound byte blood cells Bound in knots and swelling down the stream Americans wrap Bibles up in blankets Just in case they're watched in sleep But it's the slingshots underneath their pillows That keep them calm and rested and relieved Because America's a nation built on eggshells Bandages and apple seeds Attractive homes on top of bruised foundations That come apart gradually before they're leveled completely Before they're leveled completely SOUNDS LIKE:

The song has a very progressive rock feel to it with the guitar and keyboard playing a very relaxed, but still rock melody. Destinee and Adele's voices are also very relaxed. For once, a DESTINEE&ADELE song actually sounds happy, and includes happy lyrics with it. It's a short song, almost as if it were mirroring the way that most romances go: Wonderful, passionate, and very short-lived. Quote: Destinee: "We thought it was very important to add at least one true love song on our album. A love song is a natural trademark of a classic album." Quote: Adele: "Look, we don't really write love songs. Neither of us have really been in love, so we're not really sure how to write a good love song. But Destinee here has watched The Notebook, like, twenty billion times, and was like, 'We should write a love song instead of the normal depressing stuff we write about all of our failed relationships!' And it's easier to just agree to what Destinee is saying rather than argue with her. So we wrote a love song. There you go." Destinee Adele Both Lover, you have me thinking Long term and about being careful with my drinking And looking forward to my holidays and weekends Lover, I love the way you have me thinking But, lover, I'm always working Long drives, bad food, stale air, and such boredom When I get home, we'll make a trip of just sitting and doing nothing Rent a movie or something Whatever gets your blood pumping My lover You're all the wonderful music I need So lay down on that couch and sing for me SOUNDS LIKE:

The song is very slow, and the girls' voices sound distant and grainy, as if they're being heard through an old fashion radio. The only instrument playing along with them is a single guitar that plays the same three, melancholy notes over and over again. But of their voices come through monotone and depressed, but when they sing together, it's almost as if a choir of angels were singing with them. There's no surprises in this song, no sudden key changes or jumps. The song is very mellow, never dramatic, but it's so full of emotion and honest that it stands in a class of it's own compared to the songs on the rest of the album. The girls' voices have been stripped down, and are shown nakedly to the listener. There is no autotuning here. There is no special voice effects. It is just Destinee, Adele, and a guitar. Both the girls have agreed that this was their favorite song to record because of how emotional it was for both of them, and how freeing it was to not have to sing within the bounds of the music. There is so much fear in their voices, especially as they sing the lyrics about how easily they could lose the people they love, that the listener feels compelled to reach out and hug both of them. The lyric that they both sing of: "When the rush wears off, and you're left with this busted person," has a certain element of desperation, but also brings together the whole theme of the song, and in fact the whole theme of the album, that everybody is 'damaged goods' in some way or another, and to stay with the person you love, you have to take that chance and be able to show the person all the breaks and cracks in your soul, and hope that they have either the same baggage, or that they can help you mend. Sam Keen once said, "Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly," and if DESTINEE&ADELE have made you see that through their songs in this album, then they have done what they set out to do. Destinee Adele Both Oh, lover, lover, please I feel an urgent need to apologize I did a terrible thing in a terrible dream And now I can't look you in the eyes It started, we were out on a date and you turned to say, "I have to tell you something odd. I know I said we'd get married, but I'm already married." And that's when you laughed so hard So I turned and swung Woke up in shock Nails digging blood from the base of my palms Because people are so fickle They fall in love at different angles So really, I could lose you just as quickly as I've gotten you And that's the kind of thought that makes me nervous And worried if you'll really think I'm worth it When the rush wears off, and you're left with this busted person But if you tell me you will, I will do what I can to believe it So, baby, all the things that I've seen Last night while asleep This morning, they're messing with me And now I'm anxious as hell And looking for help Something pleasant and painless Some story to tell With a throughline of calm That could stop me from being myself Because all I think is how I want to be your fever Just to know I make you heated Because I worry you might see me more like a blanket Who's there for comfort and cover From the glare of former lovers All that passion that kissed you and bit you until you were devoured And I'd like to get better, because thinking like this is torture And if I can't stop it, you'll get sick of bearing crosses And you'll jump to cut your losses You'll go get quarentined somewhere far from me Where it's much less dangerous But maybe if I wake up and quit dreaming I can shake this shit I'm fearing And I can realize I'm just freaking out for no good reason I'll tell you what: If that's a line I can cross, once I get there, I'm not ever leaving SOUNDS LIKE:
