This part though... Sky high deflating ideas Thriving off your lessons, yes, you are my lantern A shy light curves around my ears The more you speak, the more I see The more your lights grows upon me And the more it grows, the closer I think you are, the closer I think you are To seeing me whole But if you don't like what you see, silhouettes inside a dream
3:40 Scrolled to your comment right as he sang it and got chills all over my body. Damn, Sampha is a beautiful writer, soul, and voice. Thank you for pointing this part out. That's just gorgeous.
This song pretty much saved my life when it came out. I just came back to it yesterday so this upload is very timely and feels like a personal gift. Thank you for sharing your magic with the world, always excited for your next album.
Wow, I feel like I wrote this myself bro. Same… same man… I am glad you and me are here to write this and enjoy this re-release and let’s stick around for the next album. Much love, from Houston bro. ❤️🤘🏾
@@nh6402 Thanks I'm doing great, that was a very low point I've been walking uphill from ever since. Just grateful to have had music like this to carry me forward when nothing else would. It's weird I almost have a nostalgia for a moment when so many things were going wrong at the same time and it was like all I had was this song. My problems aren't worse than anyone else's and I don't want to complain, I mostly just wanted to emphasize the power in Sampha's music. This album felt ahead of it's time when it came out and it still does.
@@HuntersHunter It bares truth to it’s own inevitable power. Sampha is an extraterrestrial being who was sent to us to help push us forward and capture our moments in time. I am truly grateful that he came down to Earth to save the “GREAT OLD ONES”!
I'll work my way over into the sunlight Here without looking directly into the sun Magnetic lights in the blue-high haze A magnifying glass upon my face It's so hot I've been melting out here I'm made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears Houston, can-can-can you hear? And we both had to harness our pain Close it and hope it decays Oh, inhale I'm up and away Up and away I loved those mornings, when the sun's up Smoking in the lobby Waiting for my name to pop up, yeah, pop up Usually I'd run home, and tuck the issue under Oh, sleeping with my worries, yeah I didn't really know what that lump was, my luck It's so hot I've been melting out here I'm made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears And that's when your beauty appears It's so hot I've been melting out here I'm made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears Houston, can-can-can you hear me now? You dare know what the scarecrow is It's like outer space in his inner ears And like a blossom you opened up And understood why you could not love, oh It's so hot I've been melting out here I'm made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears Houston, can-can-can you hear? I've been melting, melting down here I'm made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears Houston, can-can-can you hear me now?

This song made me cry and feel something I haven't in years. Self worth. Gratitude. Love for myself. More love for others. More understanding for myself, and others. I know it may sound pathetic, but man. This is a turning point for me. Thank you Sampha, and Dr. David. This is more of a note to self than anything for when I come back to listen to this; Trust the process, do not give up, do not get discouraged, and keep going. You're doing so much better than you were, and you're going to keep doing better too. You're going to take damn good care of yourself, and be there for your family and friends like you once were. It's not a question of if, but when. Thank you, Universe. God, if you exist, thank you. This probably sounds a bit nonsensical, but I feel free. I can take a deep breathe again for the first time in a long time. I feel like myself again. This song helped remind me. Thank you Sampha.
Hey Sampha, I hope you are doing better, your music has helped me through the worst times of my life and I just want to ask you to not only continue making music but to please come to South Africa to perform. It doesn't take a genius to tell how sincere you are and I hope you know that true lovers of art, appreciate you. Much love from a stranger.
Sampha is a sublime artist! I truly hope he knows how many people's hearts his music has touched... I hope I get to listen to him create for a long time!
Found out about Sampha after his fantastic chorus and verse on Kanye's Saint Pablo. Very few singers voices give me the feeling his does, it's so real and really pierces the soul. This track always stood out to me as extra fantastic, insanely talented man
Every time I listen to this song I'm reminded of a certain someone who hurt me. I adore this song and your music; It's just a shame that I associate it with grief.
this should have 100 million views... no disrespect to anyother genre or nusician but this song is better and Sampha is just better.. thank you for this! please tour the States this year!
Been listening to this since it came out and I'm in love! I found out about it through a dance teacher of mine. He made is stretch to this, or when we needed a break he'd play this and make is lay on the floor.😊
This song reminds me of a boy I'm in love with but we've never dated because we're never in the place physically or emotionally, but whenever I get a chance to see him I'm reminded why I fell for him in the first place🥺
Hip Hop Sakura used this in an edit. Fires of Rubicon, 2B, and other great animation played in the back. Was truly a nice find… maybe I should stop gate keeping great songs.

You’re so underrated it hurts. I listen to this song all the time, it fills the space in my heart.
The world don’t deserve him
This universe don’t deserve this gem of a being
If he ever had a collaboration song with Andre 3000, that'd be a blessing. Synergy & Love.
@@Poetryforstoners ...lol...that makes no sense at all! The university NEEDS this type of deepness!
PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THIS SOUND PLEASE.. THIS SOUND IS HEALING.
this song got me feeling like I'm about to transcend
YEAH!
I recently started Ketamine therapy and it feels like this song.
God damn, this is beautiful. Trauma healing music.
EXACTLY!
Wallo bought me hear didn’t know you were so good💯 so amazing and inspirational. What a beautiful song💯💪🏽
Same☝I had to see what the hype is about. This shit is fire
Wallo baybayyyyyy
He brought me here too
Same💪🏿♥️
Same
This is one beautiful track! I do not know how I missed this track! It is always the Heartfelt tracks that I miss.
This song made me cry when I heard, I hadn’t cried in just over 7 years. This is peak artistry😓❤️
7 years ??? Damn bro you needed to let that one out
How are you now
Hope you’re going better this days
been 5 years and its still going strong as an AM anthem
Why do underrated artists have the best songs??
Yeah. Listen to "Stars" by Sam Airey. Another great artist.
I don’t
The creative control is different for starters
they do it deep down from the heart
This part though...
Sky high deflating ideas
Thriving off your lessons, yes, you are my lantern
A shy light curves around my ears
The more you speak, the more I see
The more your lights grows upon me
And the more it grows, the closer I think you are, the closer I think you are
To seeing me whole
But if you don't like what you see, silhouettes inside a dream
bro I literally just commented this exact thing and saw ur comment that shit literally sound like heaven
@@Niggatron713 that's cos you a 👑 too
@@TheMusicNerdz Yessir I appreciate that, vice versace brother!🤞🏽👑
Exactly! 💯

I cant explain the comfort this song gives me.
A warm hug I’ve never experienced before

Im mad that I am so late discovering this artist and his angelic music. I must be melting out here.
What a astonishing discovery 👌
cant even explain the feeling this song gives me
I'll work my way over into the sunlight
Here without looking directly into the sun
Magnetic lights in the blue-high haze
A magnifying glass upon my face
It's so hot I've been melting out here
I'm made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
Houston, can-can-can you hear?
And we both had to harness our pain
Close it and hope it decays
Oh, inhale I'm up and away
Up and away
I loved those mornings, when the sun's up
Smoking in the lobby
Waiting for my name to pop up, yeah, pop up
Usually I'd run home, and tuck the issue under
Oh, sleeping with my worries, yeah
I didn't really know what that lump was, my luck
It's so hot I've been melting out here
I'm made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
And that's when your beauty appears
It's so hot I've been melting out here
I'm made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
Houston, can-can-can you hear me now?
You dare know what the scarecrow is
It's like outer space in his inner ears
And like a blossom you opened up
And understood why you could not love, oh
It's so hot I've been melting out here
I'm made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
Houston, can-can-can you hear?
I've been melting, melting down here
I'm made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
Houston, can-can-can you hear me now?
I'll work my way over into the
Sunlight here without looking directly into the sun
Sky high deflating ideas
Thriving off your lessons, yes, you are my lantern
A shy light curves around my ears
The more you speak, the more I see
The more your lights grows upon me
And the more it grows, the closer I think you are, the closer I think you are
To seeing me whole
But if you don't like what you see, silhouettes inside a dream
And I'm melting from the light
One drip at a time
(Two four two zero)
I'm melting from the light
One drip, one drip at a time
I think you're pulling the wrong one
I'm just
Okay, I'm ready to pull it down now
This song is gorgeously haunting. I never felt so many emotions at once before.
This song remains the best Song of the past decade.
The smell of fresh air in the backyard. The beauty of the color of the flowers. My golf clubs. The original happy place for me
This song made me cry and feel something I haven't in years.
Self worth. Gratitude. Love for myself. More love for others. More understanding for myself, and others.
I know it may sound pathetic, but man. This is a turning point for me. Thank you Sampha, and Dr. David. This is more of a note to self than anything for when I come back to listen to this; Trust the process, do not give up, do not get discouraged, and keep going.

It doesn't sound pathetic. Thanks for sharing your emotions 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
God bless you!
Thank u so much for sharing, ✨
This song is so incredible and so is the artist
been listening to sampha for awhile now but this song hits diff when ur high and just driving at night it’s so good it just takes you to another world
Lol most music hits in the car.
yes bro
High and driving? Trying to get someone killed I see. Hope its just u and a tree
@@memeologistdodo402 Woah no need to be mean, sounds like you could use a lil weed lol.
@@PyscSemblance Not against weed, just against DUI. Its irresponsible and could realistically get someone else killed because of your stupidity.
there are not many perfect things in the world, THIS IS A PERFECT THING, A PERFECT SONG. THANK YOU.
"thriving off your lessons, yes you are my lantern"
What a classic.
Hey Sampha, I hope you are doing better, your music has helped me through the worst times of my life and I just want to ask you to not only continue making music but to please come to South Africa to perform.

Sampha this is heavenly music 👼
Found out about Sampha after his fantastic chorus and verse on Kanye's Saint Pablo. Very few singers voices give me the feeling his does, it's so real and really pierces the soul. This track always stood out to me as extra fantastic, insanely talented man
Man... sonically, this is such a beautiful song.
Beautiful song! Glad I stumbled upon it
