Last week, Adele dropped “When We Were Young” on us, and on Saturday night, she dropped it on the entire world via a chandelier-quaking performance on “Saturday Night Live.”
Whether or not it’ll become 25’s legacy track a la “Someone Like You” remains up for debate (heavy debate, I’m sure), but what can’t be denied is how powerful of a song it is.
The majority of that power is, of course, Adele’s voice. But a portion of it comes from the song’s co-writer, Canadian singer-songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr., who took to Facebook on Saturday to detail exactly what it’s like to write a song with Adele — a fantasy he’s still having trouble processing as reality, according to the tone of the post. It’s pretty amazing.

“Her music changed my life and as a songwriter she was an inspiration and showed just what a song could go on to do if it came from the right place,” Jesso wrote in the post. “When I got the call that I would be working with her, my heart stopped.”
