This beautiful arrangement still brings a tear to my eye whenever I listen to it closely. I hope they are inspired to further excellence in future. Orchestral arrangements that include percussion, brass sections, extra strings, and choirs are always welcome in my world. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Perhaps you meant “everyone involved in this marvellous piece should be proud of their contribution.” There isn’t one person who can say they aren’t confused by what isn’t said less indirectly.
The song is a masterpiece. The orchestra gives it a sublime quality. London Grammar needs to have real orchestras in all their songs. Nothing replaces humans playing real instruments. It's expression of the soul.
Being a proud Irish man, I almost cried when I seen and heard that Harp. Irelands national symbol. Love the part when the Hans Zimmer style trumpets kicks in.
Love the Zimmer reference. Spot on but i wouldnt have noticed it without you saying something. Hans Zimmer with Hannah Reid's voice is a collaboration i didn't realise i needed until right now.
Io non mi stanco mai di risentire questo brano meraviglioso! Lei è semplicemente meravigliosa e l'orchestra aggiunge il tocco in più che trasforma un brano strepitoso in leggendario!!! (I never get tired of hearing this wonderful song! She is simply wonderful and the orchestra adds the extra touch that transforms an amazing song into legendary !!!)
2023. 10. Februar. Und wieder bin ich hier, um dieses wunderbare Video zu sehen, und diesen wunderbaren Song. Wahr für mich ist: Wiederholung kann schön und wichtig sein. Ihr seid ein Fixpunkt in meinem Musik-Universum ❤
It's the BBC Chamber Orchestra that gets used for the Abbey Road Live Sessions. They're awesome and add so much to all the songs they're involved in recording with at Abbwy Rd sessions. This is outstanding. So is Spaces by Biffy Clyro too.
Agreed, but very expensive. Easier to prerecord the orchestral part. On the other hand, if you tour and perform with local orchestras, that can be better and promote local classical music... issue is the lack of practice time.
London Grammer, you have a HUGE TALENT! Thank you for sharing it with everyone! I was going to write a book about my marriage but she beat me to it in a performance!
Hannah's voice is an indescribable feeling for me. It sounds like a remarkable and unique combination of fragility and power. It is almost like a safe place. Blessed to have seen her and the band at Wembley this year.
This is the type of masterpiece that reaffirms my firm belief that music is one type of actual magic.... So powerful, so hypnotic, breathtaking, world-stopping.... Not enough words...
Everytime I hear your songs (even for the 1000th time), it's like I rediscover them for the 1st time.. I love your music, you really are storytellers from the heart ♥
I just love the fact that in this day and age of tech we can add a classic orchestra to an already amazing piece of music and it elevates it to the heavens. Batteries not required.
I accidentally stumbled onto this. I'm absolutely blown away. What an incredible voice. I would rather listen to this than almost any other music. Glad to see so many other people feel the same way
This entire song is ethereal and soul-lifting, but gosh that intro, the first 25 seconds is from another planet. Very close to the height of musical sensitivity 💫♥✨
Da bin ich nun schon 53 Jahre. Habe gedacht, ich hätte schon alles irgendwie mal gehört. Durch Zufall auf dieses Lied gestoßen. Und es haut mich um!!! Schon lange konnte mich kein Lied mehr innerlich berühren. Und dann das!!!! Es ist ein Meisterwerk!!!
Oh My goodness, this is just an immense piece of music. Just when you think LG can't be any better they surpass your expectations. Now I need to hear the same treatment for I need the Night. That's a track crying out for a full orchestra.
I never comment on songs, I have done it twice here. This may very well be one of the best tracks ever recorded. Ever. This version is perfection. Can anyone honestly say they have only listened once? It is like an unshakable narcotic dragging you back inexorably to its potent brilliance time and time again. The Bond-like finish with the outrageous brass section is overwhelming as it builds to a huge climax then leaves you with a gentle piano. Genius.
Lets be abundantly clear. This is the best song of the year by a long way. It has now been deified: this is remarkable, an astonishing fusion of voice and orchestra. It is chills multiplied. How on earth was it possible to elevate this masterpiece? London Grammar, we salute you
@@MightyMouse350 The song, sure, but not the album. I think he meant the album. I think Missing sounds very Seal-like, which is a bit of a jump from Massive Attack. And All My Love has a super bluesy hymnal feel to it. The album covers a lot of sonic space, to my ears, and I think it's worthy of Grammy nominations too. I def think it's their best album. Also, everything is derivative! :)
@@MightyMouse350 you need to get your ears checked. It's absolutely nothing like teardrop. There's not even a beat here. Get out your momma's basement and grow.
@@spgard, a good album without a doubt, but Truth Is A Beautiful Thing is a GREAT album... Easily there best work and I've been listening to LG since 2012... Just my opinion 😉
No matter how many times I listen to this version, I get goosebumps every single time. It’s unbelievably beautiful. We need more songs done with an orchestra!!! 🤯♥️
Saw LG in November at Alexandra palace…tickets were bought 2 yrs ago but because of COVID… What a weekend..it was so exciting to finally see them live and they didn’t disappoint….. Dare I even say after listening to music all my life LG have overnight become my band…and then there’s Hannah’s voice….does anything else need to be said…stunningly breathtaking…it gets you “right there”….EVERYTIME We love you London Grammar…Truely amazing…..a shining light in this dark world xx
As someone who's music tastes were developed in the 90's, it is easy to find fault in the current generation of music being produced. But then a group like this come around and gives me so much faith that amazing music is still being created.
Stunning performance. Orchestra raises the song to new heights. Mesmerizing. And I would like to add that the sound engineering is just amazing. Such a perfect balance of all instruments and voice.
I listened to this and thought...ouch! Apart from the obvious hard hitting lyrics I think it's an excellent orchestration. She's not brash but carries the dignity and presence you'd expect that someone would bring to an orchestration. Love it, thank you.
I love how genuine she is. She played tonight in Manchester and she was so concerned if we were all ok. I stood in the front row and she smiled to me a few times and went of the stage at some point and I grabbed her hand. Very laid back person not acting like she is better because she is famous. Really loved the show and her tonight
There was a ventilation problem in MCR and people were fainting. But the sound quality in the Warehouse was so much better than it would be at the Arena. I don't know if it's always that stuffy or it was that one day. She was beautiful live.
From the first time I heard this song I thought it was a masterpiece but I still think the "language" is crude and takes from the brilliance of this song.
No Brian, no. This - if music can capture it - is what a kick in the stomach (betrayal) feels like; it's visceral, eternally wounding and brutal. Anyone who tells you anything else has not lived long enough, or been favoured by God. It's authentic, if raw and unvarnished.
A studio full of some of the most talented people in the world, making the best sounding song i have ever listened to,each & every one of you have worked so hard learning what you love doing & its perfection❤
Wow! Absolutely Superb! Hannah is outstanding!!! and the boys. Combining a full classical orchestra, who are also outstanding, with heavenly singers is a master stroke!! London Grammar are setting the benchmark in popular music today!! Thankyou!
Hannah's voice, the strings, the horns, the female conductor, have created a masterpiece that sends shivers down my spine, each time I listen, please have an orchestra for each of your tracks. Bravo xxx
Just wow! I think they should do an entire live with this kind of orchestral arrangements! All of their songs would be AMAZING. So pure, powerful and inspiring. I've been listening to them since 2014 and would really love to see them live one day. Hannah's voice is unreal 😍 🎵
Everyone in this video felt the moment when they created something epic. I feel that energy too listening to it. Awesome singer. Actualy we all live for that moment to find something this good and listen to it over and over.
This isn just beautiful .. been watching this regularly since release ..No words to where it takes me
Love it,especially this version, goose bumps ❤
Magic..... We are waiting in greece !!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This beautiful arrangement still brings a tear to my eye whenever I listen to it closely. I hope they are inspired to further excellence in future. Orchestral arrangements that include percussion, brass sections, extra strings, and choirs are always welcome in my world.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Yes me too!
There isn't one person involved in this marvelous piece who shouldn't feel proud of their contribution .Wonderful , many thanks .
what about the husband/boyfriend?
lol@@patrickwisniowski1704
@@patrickwisniowski1704 Hanna Reid is not married nor is she dating anyone at the moment
that is such a beautiful comment
Perhaps you meant “everyone involved in this marvellous piece should be proud of their contribution.” There isn’t one person who can say they aren’t confused by what isn’t said less indirectly.
The song is a masterpiece. The orchestra gives it a sublime quality. London Grammar needs to have real orchestras in all their songs. Nothing replaces humans playing real instruments. It's expression of the soul.
The Bane of all Modern Vapid Music is Synthesizers.
Her voice is surely a "real instrument."
Her voice is a classical instrument all by itself
@@Pancho308 omg I just wrote the exact same thing right before I saw yours. If any human voice is already a classical instrument… here it is.
@@athathsonty2925 I do not agree. It's way synthesizers are used in modern music which is the problem.
Being a proud Irish man, I almost cried when I seen and heard that Harp. Irelands national symbol. Love the part when the Hans Zimmer style trumpets kicks in.
Yo soy española de España y me siento muy orgullosa de todos los músicos preciosa Arpa, violines que mi hija toca todos en uno, ❤❤❤
the harp adds so much to this... (another proud Irish man )
Love the Zimmer reference. Spot on but i wouldnt have noticed it without you saying something. Hans Zimmer with Hannah Reid's voice is a collaboration i didn't realise i needed until right now.
And Hans Zimmer knows a thing or two....some have it, some don't.
I am a confirmed Hans Zimmer freak. I love him. Don't even get me started on "Honor" from "The Pacific" soundtrack. ❤❤❤❤
Io non mi stanco mai di risentire questo brano meraviglioso! Lei è semplicemente meravigliosa e l'orchestra aggiunge il tocco in più che trasforma un brano strepitoso in leggendario!!! (I never get tired of hearing this wonderful song! She is simply wonderful and the orchestra adds the extra touch that transforms an amazing song into legendary !!!)
Io non la conoscevo, è stata la pubblicità di Prada Paradox a farmela apprezzare! Davvero una splendida voce!
The true voice of an Angel ,we are blessed to hear here voice
I didn't know I needed the whole album redone with an orchestra until now.
And the live Performance of the Album with bluray would be a Dream 🤩🤩
Now I want to hear all of their music with this orchestra.
Couldn’t agree more!!
I MUST have a live concert with this orchestra!!!
It's so true
2023. 10. Februar. Und wieder bin ich hier, um dieses wunderbare Video zu sehen, und diesen wunderbaren Song. Wahr für mich ist: Wiederholung kann schön und wichtig sein. Ihr seid ein Fixpunkt in meinem Musik-Universum ❤
Da hast du sowas von recht. Wenn ich mal meine innere Mitte nicht finde....dieses Lied zeigt mir den Weg✨️
What a compliment of orchestration, full orchestra looks like.
Man does her voice stand out.
She can dip so lilting.
Not quite a full orchestra. I couldn't see any timpani for a start.
@@SpeccyMan watch again, they even briefly cut to the guy playing the timpani.
check 1:48
It's the BBC Chamber Orchestra that gets used for the Abbey Road Live Sessions. They're awesome and add so much to all the songs they're involved in recording with at Abbwy Rd sessions. This is outstanding. So is Spaces by Biffy Clyro too.
Her voice is absolutely stunning but kudos to the whole orchestra. It doesn't get any better than this.
Absolutely beautiful! A whole tour with an orchestra would be so majestic.
Yes! Or even a concert a la Portishead's Roseland NYC Live!
Total agreement.
Agreed, but very expensive. Easier to prerecord the orchestral part. On the other hand, if you tour and perform with local orchestras, that can be better and promote local classical music... issue is the lack of practice time.
Majestic is the absolute correct word!
An entire album of Orchestral versions would be amazing, plus a tour with it too. I'd love to hear "What A Day" performed live.
London Grammar is not just a group but a life experience!
Severely underrated group. They have wonderful original music, have done some amazing covers as well as collaboration such as this one.
Hannah your voice is incandescent
London Grammer, you have a HUGE TALENT! Thank you for sharing it with everyone! I was going to write a book about my marriage but she beat me to it in a performance!
A modern Masterpiece! Superb orchestration for this ballad! Hannah at her best!
Hannah's voice is an indescribable feeling for me. It sounds like a remarkable and unique combination of fragility and power. It is almost like a safe place. Blessed to have seen her and the band at Wembley this year.
I appreciate her wonderful voice .
Could you describe her voice as "Lord it's a feeling"
This is the type of masterpiece that reaffirms my firm belief that music is one type of actual magic.... So powerful, so hypnotic, breathtaking, world-stopping.... Not enough words...
Everytime I hear your songs (even for the 1000th time), it's like I rediscover them for the 1st time.. I love your music, you really are storytellers from the heart ♥
Absolutely stunning !!
Yeah 😍
I have listened to this hundreds of times and every time, yes, every time, it stirs my soul so beautifully. thank you London Grammar!!!
Same
Me too
I too am hopelessly addicted to it! I just shared it with my 35 yr old son and now he is obsessed as well!
This version with the orchestra gave me shivers!
It’s amazing!
I just love the fact that in this day and age of tech we can add a classic orchestra to an already amazing piece of music and it elevates it to the heavens. Batteries not required.

There's no AI that can create the sparkle in true genius. Just magical.
What an amazing audio production. What a voice. What awesome trombone...2:49
I agree... I really took notice when those horns came in
Indeed, love it. Beautiful track.
But the harpist! You don't just find them hanging around bus stops.
This entire song is ethereal and soul-lifting, but gosh that intro, the first 25 seconds is from another planet. Very close to the height of musical sensitivity 💫♥✨
Hannah has one of the best voices around. London Grammar are one of the best bands around. 👏
Correct!
Da bin ich nun schon 53 Jahre. Habe gedacht, ich hätte schon alles irgendwie mal gehört. Durch Zufall auf dieses Lied gestoßen. Und es haut mich um!!! Schon lange konnte mich kein Lied mehr innerlich berühren. Und dann das!!!!
Es ist ein Meisterwerk!!!
Du sagst es ein Meisterwerk 😊
07.2024 I listened again this. If you can read this, Hannah, Dominic and Dan, you created a masterpiece.
Goosebumps. All over. Every time again.
The emotion, instrumentals, talent, and Hannah's voice are just the recipe my ear drums crave!
Lord i never knew i needed London Grammar this much
Oh My goodness, this is just an immense piece of music. Just when you think LG can't be any better they surpass your expectations. Now I need to hear the same treatment for I need the Night. That's a track crying out for a full orchestra.
Without any words - one of the most innermost songs of LG.
I never comment on songs, I have done it twice here. This may very well be one of the best tracks ever recorded. Ever. This version is perfection. Can anyone honestly say they have only listened once? It is like an unshakable narcotic dragging you back inexorably to its potent brilliance time and time again. The Bond-like finish with the outrageous brass section is overwhelming as it builds to a huge climax then leaves you with a gentle piano. Genius.
Breathtaking
So never say never again.
I didn't know that putting words on what I feel was possible ;-)
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing!!!!
I never knew of LG until recently and now I love them Hanna Reid is everything
Amazing voice, beautiful woman, magical song. Perfect band!
Lets be abundantly clear. This is the best song of the year by a long way. It has now been deified: this is remarkable, an astonishing fusion of voice and orchestra. It is chills multiplied. How on earth was it possible to elevate this masterpiece? London Grammar, we salute you
Agreed! I keep coming back here again and again…
And me..
God I love this woman's voice what a talent and the full london grammer band
the orginal is brilliant, but this is just epic... her voice works really well with an symphonic orchestra
This is the most beautiful melodys songs band is incredible ever her voice tone beautiful also
Seriously, Californian Soil deserves a Grammy nomination or 2.
no it doesn't. not original enough. the backing is Teardrop by Massive Attack. it's derivative

The depth the orchestra adds to the music and her voice is amazing .
Christ this is utterly stunning what a group just amazing.
Wonderful. Amazing. No more words needed.
But, still: an angel stands in the middle of it all in a white dress.
Beautiful 😢
Just goosebumps. This orchestral version adds such an array of musical colors…. The climaxes are breathtaking. I can’t get enough of this!!!! ❤️
This is quite simply one of the best things I’ve ever heard.
2:49 Those horns 🤘
No matter how many times I listen to this version, I get goosebumps every single time. It’s unbelievably beautiful. We need more songs done with an orchestra!!! 🤯♥️
It makes my heart ache xx
Goddess of the heavens , voice of an angel , remarkable orchestra , smashed that song to the max
Criminally underrated
Epic! Lord it’s a feeling - a feeling that only Hannah’s voice can bring to your soul!
Absolute a magical voice one of the best singers out there ❤
The best song in the album . Now it turns to a Masterpiece . Be blessed guys . Amazing stunning work .

Stunning performance. Orchestra raises the song to new heights. Mesmerizing. And I would like to add that the sound engineering is just amazing. Such a perfect balance of all instruments and voice.
This woman thinks she's just a normal person. She will never realize how beautiful she is and how shockingly beautiful her voice is.
Im here because of the brilliance of this song, her sound ❤️with all those instruments
the brass section coming in @ 2:50 takes this piece to whole other realm balanced with the etheric string and London.
I listened to this and thought...ouch!
Apart from the obvious hard hitting lyrics I think it's an excellent orchestration. She's not brash but carries the dignity and presence you'd expect that someone would bring to an orchestration. Love it, thank you.
Well said
Agree 💯
It’s been over a year and I’m still captivated with this song. I literally listen to every night. Don’t even get me started with I Need The Night. ❤
Yes, it's full of drama, control and precision. An amazing piece of work.
I love how genuine she is. She played tonight in Manchester and she was so concerned if we were all ok.

I hope the people behind the James Bond next project will see this and just have our trio on board for the theme soundtrack
🤞🏻
I was just thinking and about to type exactly that, when I saw your comment..she just has to be given the next Bond film..🙂
Agreed
Tom Hiddleston as Bond
London Grammar perform Title Song
Yes. Yes please.
Yes i was also thinking the same, especially as the brass kicked in. Would love to hear that.
London grammar absolutely fantastic got to be one of the best bands around
Hannah’s voice and her vocal talents are some of the most remarkable and finest in modern times 💜
.... breathtaking...... i love this so much.... it takes me to another world xx
The day we get to enter heaven, you will be the one who welcomes us with that angel voice.
Just magical, imagine being part of this how on earth could you top it??
i can't describe how much I love this song and even more this orchestral version... beyond beautiful
Cierto, es una canción preciosa y la orquesta, el acompañamiento perfecto
love this orchestral version very much!

I have to listen to this song at least 3 or 4 times a day. Its beyond amazing and I have to listen..
I feel that words are not enough to describe how beautiful this recording is.
Emma Watson's Paradoxe - Prada advertisement brought me here and I am thankful!
BOND film score from this group would be INCREDIBLE..
Hannah's Voice is a Diamond!!! Music is great but... that Voice, such a powerful malinchonic Voice is something Marvelllous!!!
