Hills Student Julia Jassey Sings Adele

Performance of "To Make You Feel My Love" done at recent Half Hollow Hills Idol competition.

At the recent Half Hollow Hills Idol competition, 11-year old Julia Jassey performed a rendition of "To Make You Feel My Love" by Adele.

According to SongFacts.com, Adele’s version is a cover of the song done originally by Bob Dylan on his 1997 album “Time Out of Mind.”

She told the Manchester Evening News about why she decided to record the song. “I wrote 9 songs in a short space of time, all about this awful relationship I was in. I never quite got down what I was really feeling in those songs, though. Although I was trying to. It wasn't that I was holding back or anything, but I just couldn't get it down. I was bitterly upset and then my manager played me this Bob Dylan song 'Make You Feel My Love.' The lyrics are just amazing, and summed up exactly what I'd been trying to say in my songs. It's about regretting not being with someone, and it's beautiful.”
