any age can listen
I think any age can listen to this song, but unless u have truly had a broken heart u wouldnt be able to understand it. I take voice lessons and i suggested this song to my voice singer for me to sing but she thought it was not quite age apropriate. I think it is. Any age can listen to this song.

Nice single from Adele
At first when I heard this song I thought it was okay, but it grew on me. Adele has a nice voice. No innapropriate content, but I think that teens will understand the lyrics more than kids (like Taylor Swift songs).

Great!!!!!!!!!
This song is about accepting that the person you love has already moved on. It has no inappropriate references, so I would say children 9 and up could listen to this music.

Completely Clean Sad Song with Good Message!
My title says it all. I am a dance/ techno song lover but I still love this song. Even my little sister, who absoulutley hates slow songs likes this one (she's eight.) Not off for any age but I don't think kids younger than eight will like this. I love this song and Rolling in the Deep, also by Adele (a really great singer!)
