Adele's "Someone Like You" for the Gays

More often than naught you get a song that fits perfectly for a heterosexual couple - either going through a failed relationship or a happy one.

But boy is it hard to find a cover to a song that leans towards a gay audience, and Adele's song, "Someone Like You" does just that.  I was listening to several covers of her song last night, and Eli Lieb's version of her song simply blew me away; I had Ryan listen to it, and it drew us both to tears.  It drew us ever more closer to one another - which only goes to prove that I can never be without him in my life.  Take a listen, as Eli changes the word "girl" to "boy."

It's amazing how such a simple word like "him" and "her" or "boy" and "girl" can make a huge difference in someone's life.  I feel more artists should look into this, because you don't have many who perform songs that play to both genders.  It's either a woman singing about a man whom she loves or hates, or a man singing about a woman in a similar situation.  It's never about man singing about another man, those are few and in-between.

Chris Kennedy to the left and below is from the UK and part of a three-person group called "The Shures."  The group formed when a girl from the U.S., a boy from the UK, and another boy from Australia met over two years ago on a music networking site and fell in love with each other’s voices.  Group member Ashley Burns from West Virginia brought up the idea of creating an online album to her two friends and from there, the online band concept was born.  They entered an online competition but when they needed to enter a name, they noticed they were nameless. Third band member, Gabriel Cabrera from Australia came up with “The Shures” and they all decided to run with it.  Chris also changed the gender of the song from "girl" to "boy" in the video below.
