UK soulstress Adele has revealed that her drunken tongue led to her lyrics.
The Someone Like You singer admitted that she used to lock herself away and keep a 'drunk diary' full of song lyrics.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: "That was the first time I could admit things to myself.
"A drunk tongue is an honest one in my opinion and the next morning I would read it through with an awful hangover and, in the cold light of day, had to absorb my feelings about myself. I was a bit scared that I wouldn't be articulate enough.
"When I was 18 or 19 I didn't regret anything, I was very much a teenager and thought I knew it all and that there was nothing else I could learn.
"I started realising my own flaws and my disappointments and I started regretting a lot of stuff. It was quite an awakening."
One of the low points came for the singer when her bid to record the soundtrack for Love and Other Drugs was rejected.
She said: "I really wanted to have the soundtrack for Love and Other Drugs.
"I was in for a good shot but I submitted the wrong song. I love that kind of movie. Maybe next time.
"I want to do a Martin Scorsese film. I don't know if I am trained enough to offer something that good for one of his movies."
Adele’s album 21, which is centred around losing her first love, is still riding high in the charts.
