Ava Griffith’s song of the day is “Water Under the Bridge” by Adele. Griffith has listened to Adele for a long time and enjoys this song because of the messages in the lyrics. “Water Under the Bridge” is a metaphor for a relationship that’s too good to be true, it’s about knowing that one day you’ll be the water under the bridge.
“It’s like when you’re on a bridge, you’re in a relationship with someone and you’re stable,” Griffith said. “Water is always flowing, so any little problem will pass you. Our love isn’t water on the bridge; our love isn’t something in the past yet, like it’s still afloat, it’s still on that bridge.”
In the song, Adele asks to be let down gently so it doesn’t hurt as much, and about if her partner isn’t the one for her, who else could be. Saying water under the bridge is saying that in that moment, it’ll affect you a lot, but in general, it’ll just be a bump in the flow.
Griffith likes the music video as well, and that the song is easy to lip-sync to.
