Love is Strong as Death

The Grammy awards are this Sunday, and I won't watch them; however, I'll venture a guess. There are only four categories, but I would be surprised if Adele does not walk away with something.

What does she sing about? Something fresh as a wound; something as old as the world: Love in a fallen world.

Consider Song of Solomon 8:6:
[F]or love is strong as death,
jealousy is cruel as the grave;
the coals thereof are coals of fire
which hath a most vehement flame.

Compare the fire to:
Adele: "Fire to the Rain"

Compare the death to:
Perry: "If I Die Young"

Those are not assignments, just for thought.
