Adele made us weep with her Hometown Glory...

Soul diva superstar Adele is set to grace the T4 on the Beach stage this weekend with her spine tingling voice.

After selling nearly half a million albums in a mere nine months, it comes as a big surprise to hear that the 20-year old songstress was just another unknown wannabe this time last year. Maybe the fact that she won a Brit award before she had even released her first album had something to do with her sudden celeb status?

We tracked down the song that triggered it all; Hometown Glory is about Adele’s love for London and we think it’s a beauty. What’s more it’s set for re-release on July 21st.

Check out this amazing vid! Oh and see what you make of the lyrics too…We must admit they made us weep a wee bit, we’re suckers for a soppy song.

Here are the lyrics so you can sing along!

I’ve been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?
No and thank you, please Madam. I ain’t lost, just wandering

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met

Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain’t gonna take it
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I’ve met
