i love how he laughs like "hergghhhh" 😂
stpyx LOL
he’s so softly spoken and sweet
I agree with Sam's first statement but only in the context of using sadness and negativity to birth something greater, especially creatively. In most if not all other contexts, I'm thinking we probably need to work towards letting sadness and negativity go after a while, so we can reach towards something better and more lifting.
I think what Sam meant was more towards embracing sadness as a part of life. Sometimes society places such an emphasis on being happy, that being sad is somewhat viewed as a negative, as something one must avoid. I think he wants us to understand that it's okay to be sad at times.
TheMovieMyLife yeah sadness is only beautiful when you move out of it. In actual sadness one eventually feels depression and life dies inside, when you are in complete sadness beauty becomes the death of hope itself, spiralling out into despair
theunknowntraveller I also agree with you there... totally
this was a beautiful response
I see you on Skin Deep Channel too, Hi!
He is a true artist!
E Visser
Sure he s an artist... but what's a false artist though ?
+Little Lau in case of singers; someone who doesn't write their own songs, someone who doesn't go to that vulnerable place that makes a song BRILLIANT and not just generic pop bullshit!
E Visser In my opinion an artist is someone who want to creat or express something artistic every day. Yeah singers who write their own songs are artists. But I think the singers who can sing something that they haven't write can do something beautiful too. Interpreters can transfer emotions too, i think. Yeah I got your point : people who just sing comercial trash aren't artists. They aren't false artists or what, they simply aren't artists.
And yes someone who just put himself in a vulnerable place is really beautiful. I believe that the most emotional and stunnings art pieces (paintings, songs, litterature, etc.) just come from chaos, or at least some vulnerable, tortured states
+Little Lau i think we see it the same! If someone who doesn't write their own songs sings from that vulnerable dark place deep down inside, then they are a true artist aswell! And there are indeed no false artists, simply put; the devide between singers and artist is emotion!
+E Visser I think there can be a certain talent to taking a song written by someone and giving it life in your own special way.
Sammy baby . Who doesn't love him? 😍 He is such an Angel 😘😍
As if I didn't love him enough already. Truly such a beautiful soul!
Thank you for being so transparent and raw with us, Sam, and thank you i-D for creating this. :)
I really wish you guys would make these longer, it seems like you have so much footage and then it just drops off. Like 10-15 mins would be much more satisfying.
Idk why I find inspiration in sad things. I've always been like that. I love happy things but a lot of the times sad things give me inspiration...
Sam Smith is so talented
I like his music
such an inspiring artist. beautiful interview!
Sam is absolutely perfect. So intelligent and also so handsome
i-D thank you for this amazing interview
CAN WE GET AN "I-D" ON BILLIE EILISH!!!! PLS!!
Aidan Doyle yes please
What a gentle soul
As a 24 year old I can really understand his process. Keep it up Sam. Keep that growth mindset.
Love to hear more music for life!
Love how real he is and how he seems comfortable and in a good place and like he knows what he wants and is killing it
I love this interview and the things he says are just so true.... and also I love the setting!
I feel like him and I would get along. I love his view and can tell he thinks a lot. I am, constantly, thinking, wondering, piecing together why this or what if's. I enjoy it and I think it is a good thing to be alone with your thoughts. I have slowly got to the point where I take care of myself. I won't allow anxiety to scare me into not speaking up or doing something because of the people around me. It feels really good.
SAM IS PERFECTION 😭
0:15 for a hot second I forgot I was watching Sam smith i thought he was Mac Miller
The location look just like dua’s “blow your mind”
soth rothea yesssss
He seems like a really cool dude, really like his personality and sense of life.
I adore all the i-D Meets ✨
Sry nice, logical, simple and true,Thank You.
dua lipa filmed the "blow your mind" music video at the same place that this video was filmed (idk if that was worded right lol)

I love the way Sam Smith is in tune with his emotions, sad or happy. I genuinely admire him, and his music only amplifies his incredible mind. Love him ahh!!! :)
i love this a lot
he is such a huge amazing humble human being. Carry you with me everyday in my heart, and in my headphones too Sam, lol. just love him
I've given this video a thumbs up. I can't get over how he says he's interested in the "real shit" and how he shakes sadness' hand. The beauty of him lies within him. Who cares if he's gay it's all about his words/lyrics. This is why I LOVE Sam so much!!!
Congratulations on coming out Sam! You’re an inspiration!!
He has always been so good looking! Even now. I love everything about him ❤️ he has the dreamiest eyes

That was so great !!
Nice jacket and loved the idea of a straight man wearing women labelled clothes and love him being shy

*Sam smith! Grammy is desperately waiting for you my man! Such a talented human being! I just covered his new song Burning on my channel. I would really appreciate if you guys check it out and let me know how it is. Thanks.*
So u just make this vids with artists?
He really reminds me of boy George honestly.
He deserves more

He looks like Kathryn Prescott and Maisie Williams
Someone made a mistake with the sound ..... ouchy
He is so not a phony. No way in the world anyone could not love him
Dua Lipa, MWAH music video
After all he's a human being

i love him as a person but not so much as a musician
he is my best man
i love him so bad 😭😭
Sam!!!
great video, was just wondering if they use they/them pronouns, perhaps you could not use the pronouns he/him in the description
Hope Fokkens why tho? He is a man. What would they use instead? It?
R.I.P
Irgendjemand deutsches hier, der auch nächstes Jahr auf eines seiner Konzerte geht ? xD
God, I love Sam
Angel
