Remedy (Adele song)

"Remedy" is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Adele for her third studio album 25 (2015). The song was written by Adele Adkins and Ryan Tedder, while production of the song was provided by the latter. Lyrically, the track is about the singer's best friend, her grandparents, her boyfriend, and her son. Musically, the song is a pop ballad. "Remedy" received positive reviews from critics, with some describing it as an earnest expression of devotion.

The song peaked at number 30 on the Finland Chart and number 30 on the Switzerland Chart. It also charted in Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Scotland, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Composition

"Remedy" was written by Adele and Ryan Tedder, and produced by the latter. It has been called a "turning point for 25 since it restored her confidence". After Tedder mentioned the word "remedy", which reminded Adele of her child, the song was written and recorded in one day.

Whiteboys

The Whiteboys (Irish: Buachaillí Bána) were a secret Irish agrarian organisation in 18th-century Ireland which used violent tactics to defend tenant farmer land rights for subsistence farming. Their name derives from the white smocks the members wore in their nightly raids. As they levelled the fences at night, they were usually referred to at the time as "Levellers" by the authorities, and by themselves as "Queen Sive Oultagh's children", "fairies", or as followers of "Johanna Meskill" or "Sheila Meskill", all symbolic figures supposed to lead the movement. They sought to address rack-rents, tithe collection, excessive priests' dues, evictions and other oppressive acts. As a result they targeted landlords and tithe collectors. Over time, Whiteboyism became a general term for rural violence connected to secret societies. Because of this generalisation, the historical record for the Whiteboys as a specific organisation is unclear. There were three major outbreaks of Whiteboyism: 1761–64; 1770–76; and 1784–86.
