Dylan's original song "To Make You Feel My Love" was released in 1969 as part of his album "Nashville Skyline". He wrote the song for his then-girlfriend Mary Alice, stating, "'To Make You Feel My Love' was written for Mary Alice, a 19-year-old girl from Lakeland, Florida... (She's) very poetic, very aware of language, and she paints a picture that you just can't deny.'" (Source: The New York Times).
However, it was Adele who brought this song to new heights when she recorded it for her second studio album "21". She admitted to Jamie Cullum, a British singer-songwriter, "I wanted to play with the view point and spin it in a way, like, from a woman to a man, but at the same time there's a song that maybe they are thinking of her."
