Every Monday, we analyze the number one Billboard song for its deeper meaning and what it says about the human condition.

This week, since America’s favorite song is the same as last week’s, chart mainstay Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” is a close second, and that will be analyzed today. While weirder pop divas have also been topping the chart, soulful Brit Adele has made a case for pop classiness and her clean sweep at the Grammy Awards last Sunday only confirms her popularity and general awesomeness.

Given all of this, her #2 (formerly #1) spot is really no surprise. Admit it, you know all of the words to “Chasing Pavements, ” and really, who doesn’t love her? The woman speaks to literally everyone – and if she doesn’t speak to you, get tested for psychopathy. All that being said, “Set Fire to the Rain” isn’t Adele’s greatest work.

While the orchestral swells of “Set Fire to the Rain” will definitely tug at your tear ducts, how original is it? If “Rolling in the Deep” and “Someone Like You” made sweet soulful love it would probably sound a lot like “Set Fire to the Rain.” While it isn’t as toe thumping as “Rolling in the Deep,” it does preserve the nonsensical chorus. How the hell do you set fire to the rain? It’s obviously a metaphor, but for what? Spoiler alert: her relationship that wasn’t going so well.

Let it be known that I’ve participated in my fair share of mournful Adele sing-alongs, but the whole “soulful song about a dysfunctional relationship” thing is becoming a bit of a one-trick pony.

This song is regretful and sad, as most Adele songs are, but it just isn’t as powerful a make-you-weep-gently song as “Someone Like You.” “Set Fire to the Rain” still probably got you through a chocolate-less Valentine’s Day or an especially lonely night with Foucault —even if the chorus really doesn’t make any sense.
