Maddi Jane - Rolling In The Deep Lyrics

Rolling In The Deep

There's A Fire Starting In My Heart
Reaching A Fever Pitch, It's Bringing Me Out The Dark
Finally I Can See You Crystal Clear
Go Head And Sell Me Out And I'll Lay Yourself Bare

See How I Leave With Every Piece Of You
Don't Underestimate The Things That I Would Do

There's A Fire Starting In My Heart
Reaching A Fever Pitch
And It's Bring Me Out The Dark

The Scars Of Your Love Remind Me Of Us
They Keep Me Thinking That We Almost Had It All
The Scars Of Your Love They Leave Me Breathless
I Can't Help Feeling
We Could Have Had It All
Rolling In The Deep
You Had My Heart And Soul In Your Head
And You Played It
To The Beat

Baby I Have No Story To Be Told
But I've Heard One Of You
And I'm Gonna Make Your Head Burn
Think Of Me In The Depths Of Your Despair
Making A Home Down There
It Reminds You Of The Home We Shared

The Scars Of Your Love Remind Me Of Us
They Keep Me Thinking That We Almost Had It All
The Scars Of Your Love They Leave Me Breathless
I Can't Help Feeling
We Could Have Had It All
Rolling In The Deep
You Had My Heart And Soul In Your Head
And You Played It
To The Beat

Throw Your Soul Through Every Open Door
Count Your Blessings To Find What You Look For
Turned My Sorrow Into Treasured Gold
You Pay Me Back In Kind And Reap Just What You Sow Oh

We Could Have Had It All
We Could Have Had It All
It All, It All It All,
We Could Have Had It All
Rolling In The Deep
You Had My Heart And Soul In Your Head
And You Played It
To The Beat

We Could Have Had It All
Rolling In The Deep
You Had My Heart And Soul In Your Head
And You Played It, You Played It, You Played It, You Played It
To The Beat

Look out for Maddi Jane, a Child Singer With Serious Chops



It’s hard to believe that Maddi Jane, an 11 year old singer from Chicago, Illinois, was born the same year that I was sporting those ridiculous flared jeans and begging my parents for Backstreet Boys‘ tickets. Self-deprecation aside, Maddi has, by a long stretch of a mile, one of the most dynamic, mature, and downright soulful voices I’ve heard in a long while. While listening to one her YouTube covers, I actually forgot I was listening to a kid.

You might be thinking: “Oh great. Another totally amazing child singer. Just what the world needs.” At least, that’s what cynical me thought. Today, it really doesn’t take long to find the next big child prodigy, from 2010′s “Paparazzi”-belting Greyson Chance to any audition round of America’s Got Talent. And then you have Rebecca Black, who, even months after the odd success of “Friday,” remains in a category, good and bad, all her own. YouTube has given us a barrage of young singers and acts, and throughout time, society has loved nothing more than putting people on pedestals and tearing them down. Let’s face it, the child star-making factory isn’t a new thing to “Hollywood” or the industry, itself. Anyone remember Danny Bonaduce? Yeah, we all saw how that turned out.

Underneath all that “child star” allure, however, is a talented singer. To make a long story short, she’s worth a listen… or two, or three, or four. I can’t help but picture her voice in fifteen, ten — hell, even five years from now. In a sea of cute and impressive child acts, she’s got the chops and even the emotional resonance to not fade from the spotlight. Let’s just hope that spotlight doesn’t chew her up and spit her back out.
