VERY late to this party, but as soon as he hits the first..."Can I lay...," it's like someone turned on the water faucet behind my eyes and nose. But Mid-Size Sedan did hit it - it helps to have performed it before. It's like when you parents have passed...you don't cry -- as hard or as much -- the more time passes. The emotion is still there...so as long as he lets a little in each time he sings it, you get the same response.
+MiniMaestro2 He's the best singer nowadays, but I can't agree at all. He's outclassed by Freddie Mercury when we talk about singing history. Sam's got one of the best voices ever, but Mercury's is the best.
Javier Patuel I disagree, of course Mercury is a bigger star and has the bigger and better songs etc. But I'm talking about just his pure voice, its unrivalled. Nobody can sing like he does, Mercury was ridiculously good, but it seems God made out with Sam Smith's throat as his voice his the best ever.
The way he sways back and forth while singing... The way the light came from behind, making him look like an angel. What a magnificent performance. I swear his true form is a squishy squishy teddy bear.
The notes he hits are incredible just by itself, but the fact that his face looks like he puts about as much effort into it as I do just to talk is unbelievable. How?
Febrio Ramadhan I don't study in any music school ... but i think what you were talking about is the part that he actually sings in head voice .. but in some high part ... he blended his chest and head together and make a smooth which between chest to head perfectly that it sounds so good. That's what I was taking about.
Yes, I do, I believe That one day I will be where I was Right there, right next to you And it’s hard, the days just seem so dark The moon, the stars are nothing without you Your touch, your skin, Where do I begin? No words can explain the way I’m missing you Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside These tears, they tell their own story You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling’s overwhelming, it’s much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you’re alright? I’ll take care of you, And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight I’m reaching out to you Can you hear my call? This hurt that I’ve been through I’m missing you, missing you like crazy You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling’s overwhelming, it’s much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you’re alright? I’ll take care of you, And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
fyi the lyrics actually go like this Yes I do, I believe That one day I will be, where I was Right there, right next to you And it's hard, the days just seem so dark The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you Your touch, your skin, where do I begin? No words can explain, the way i’m missing you Deny this emptiness, this hole that i’m inside These tears, they tell their own story You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you’re alright I’ll take care of you, And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight I’m reaching out to you Can you hear my call This hurt that I’ve been through I’m missing you, missing you like crazy Can I lay by your side, next to you, to you And make sure you’re alright I’ll take care of you, And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side Lay me down tonight Lay me by your side Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
mattyk209 I mean that's your own opinion. There are many male singers with voices who'd destroy his in a heartbeat like JP cooper, Leon Bridges, Bruno Mars, John Legend and many more. I'm not saying Sam isn't a good singer, he is. But he most definitely isn't the best. Type on youtube, 'JP cooper - Ex Factor cover'. You'll know what I mean. But I do respect your opinion because everybody has different tastes.
This song mean so much to me 😥 my baby boy was born asleep on the 6.12.18 and we played it at his funeral. Sam if you ever read this I dont think you understand how much you got me and my 8 year daughter through everything from my depression constantly listening to your album through losing my baby boy I love you 😥❤
He's so gorgeous live. Saw him tonight at his concert and his eyes have these amazing twinkle in them. So gorgeous. And for his voice, voice of an angel
Love how his voice is just 100% perfect. Sounds the same way in his songs, and live. That's just absolutely incredible, God gave him such a gift. And he is using it well.
this song never fails to make me cry. its so full of emotion and is sung so beautifully its overwhelming. at the beginning i feel the pain and the soul that went into the lyrics but by the end, im left with a smile on my face that could only be explained by the sheer extravagance of this artist. Sam Smith, you will always have a special place in my heart. watching you flourish through the years has been a great pleasure and i cant wait to continue into 2020 with you.
This man is absolutely amazing and has the MOST stunning Voice I’vehave ever heard in my life and he sounds exactly the same live as he does in studio there aren’t many artists today that can say that
I remember seeing him in a newcomers tent at a festival 9 years ago and it baffled me there were only 30 or so people in the tent and his voice was liquid gold! Everyone was speechless!
oh my god ! This just gave me goosebumps and made me feel millions of things right now.....his voice is so pure and so serene....i can listen to this all my life
I thank God for giving me the privilegie to enjoy this incredible voice. This guy is so talented!! Bless you Sam!! I will never forget your 2019 Buenos Aires Lollapalloza show!
The song didn't really make it for me, but his voice was so incredibly amazing that I had to like it. Exceptional performance, outstanding and magnificent! He really is one of the best singers alive and even though his music in general isn't really my taste I have huge respect for him and kind of like his music anyway. I mean, you can't say that it's bad music and his voice is amazing so I could just listen to that everyday.
This performance so magical, Sam voice just hypnotizes. And why someone says do not exist perfectness, I don't agree and see here that PERFECT. He deserve all thats applause and many more, God bless You, Sam
The part that hit me the most is you can tell hes hurting in this performance...the way hes swaying back and forth as if a child needing to be rocked by its mother, the red eyes, and the shakiness in his voice towards the very end.
I remember him singing this song live in Minneapolis last year. It was by far the best of his entire performance. Sam Smith is a once in a generation talent.
Such an amazing vocalist. And not just his vocal perfection but how every performance he manages to exude such emotion not just in his face but in his voice without sacrificing his sound. Such an incredible performer. No gimmicks, just singing.
Are you singing to the piano or is the piano playing to your amazing voice! What a talent you have to be able to sing to music that doesn't start till after you have. Stunned!!! Well done 😍😍😍😍
Lay me down es mi canción favorita de la vida, no hay palabras para expresar lo que siento cada vez que te escucho. Eres un ángel, Sam. Gracias por regalarnos tu maravilloso talento. Saludos y cariño desde Perú ❤
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW HE SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE HE DOES IN THE STUDIO
+Kiara Faith With a few note's sung purposely different... Sam Smith is amazing.
+Kiara Faith he sounds even better than that.
and even better
word this man is amazing a dig a beast anything he wants to be
Shows how great is voice is
How can he sing like this and not burst into tears?!
Rosie King because he sang this song a thousand times already.
I mean.. I do
Inter lude No shit, It’s a joke moron
I’d be cryin the whole time

"I'm reaching out to you, can't you hear my call?", gets me every fuckin time.
This really shouldn't be possible. His voice is liquid gold. The best male voice of all time, without a doubt.
+MiniMaestro2 He's the best singer nowadays, but I can't agree at all. He's outclassed by Freddie Mercury when we talk about singing history. Sam's got one of the best voices ever, but Mercury's is the best.

+Javier Patuel i just listened to freddie mecury. aint no comparison to Sam mane. just...no
+Kelvin Mendie do you think sam is a better singer? Have you heard bohemian rhapsody man?
+MiniMaestro2 umm. so he's better than Pavarotti? okay then.
I just bursted into tears... This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...
The way he sways back and forth while singing... The way the light came from behind, making him look like an angel.
What a magnificent performance.
I swear his true form is a squishy squishy teddy bear.
Ugh ikr
Is that Kevin from Ukiss? Lmao
exactly my feels
brown suga yes indeed ^^
You're right, but the song was the foundation with features amazing..
why is he so beautiful inside and out?!
I got goosebumps OMG this is such a beautiful song
The notes he hits are incredible just by itself, but the fact that his face looks like he puts about as much effort into it as I do just to talk is unbelievable. How?
thats the secret
Perfect technique, no tension, it’s amazing!
Did he eat his cd?
Obviously.😂😂😂
nop. he is cd player. no doubt
1102sn 😂😂👏🏽👏🏽
1102sn 😂😂😭😂😂
hahahahaaa
He doesn't even need back up singers to help. This man is a living legend! We don't see this kind of talent in this day and age!
Callum Fletcher Right...!!
Ed Sheeran is honestly the only one I think that is on par with Sam
Absolutely...very strong vocals
Callum Fletcher yes we do
adele.. actually there's alot
This chest voice and falsetto blended in together so incredible.
+Christian Galesias it's not just that he isn't using chest voice...He is using mixed voice
its an head voice bro..
Febrio Ramadhan I'm pretty sure he was using mixed voice.
Youll know that it was an head voice..if you study on music school..
Febrio Ramadhan I don't study in any music school ... but i think what you were talking about is the part that he actually sings in head voice .. but in some high part ... he blended his chest and head together and make a smooth which between chest to head perfectly that it sounds so good. That's what I was taking about.
And this was live?! ...holy crap.. he's perfect
that's right :)
He is not perfect. He is beyond perfect.
Tarana Anadkat BV azet
Se
GT
Tarana Anadkat that's true
Yes, I do, I believe
That one day I will be where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it’s hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin,
Where do I begin?
No words can explain the way I’m missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside
These tears, they tell their own story
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it’s much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright?
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight
I’m reaching out to you
Can you hear my call?
This hurt that I’ve been through
I’m missing you, missing you like crazy
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it’s much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright?
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
fyi the lyrics actually go like this
Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain, the way i’m missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that i’m inside
These tears, they tell their own story
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight
I’m reaching out to you
Can you hear my call
This hurt that I’ve been through
I’m missing you, missing you like crazy
Can I lay by your side, next to you, to you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
WTF?
Up
Literally can't tell the difference between studio version and live😱😅😅
***** Still really sounds like the studio version tho!!
Like Bruno Mars
me either , its awesome
live sounds better😝😂
+Joanna P. airrd
Best singer of the decade i swear! Damn! I wish i had a talent like that.
Justin Richards Probably the best male vocal for the last 2 generations...
I'm 16 and uploaded my new cover can you all please check it out
he and Adele should make a song.
Dane Castro YES!!!
Justin Richards Can't agree more
Surely that's the voice of an angel?
+jenny Carberry No Doubt
True
U are an angel
Have you ever heard an angel ?
Are you making a statement or asking a question
probably the only music artist you can go and see in concert today that will sound just like they do on the radio
so true most of it is auto tune!!
Speaking as a person who has seen him live, he does sound exactly like his studio versions! It's so refreshing to hear an artist with actual talent.
symmylynn So true,saw him in Toronto and his voice is breathtaking!
Look up ariana grande live she is better when she sings live
Search darren espanto
His voice was touched by god !
Agreed
There is NO GODS
+MOLEINTHEHOLE well obviously there wouldn't be a "You" without a god.
+OnlyStephano Yes there would its called evolution.
+Maurice Haas HIS VOICE WAS TOUCHED BY THE FLU A LITTLE!
How can anybody dislike this? Even deaf people would appreciate this guy.
yas
Crisjoven Leyrita AyEE
I can attest to this
So effortless. he's really good.
Are you sure this is live? Because his voice is unbelievable!
yeah, it's live
He was amazing in concert, this is definitely live
I know it was live it's just unbelievable that it is!
Patrycja Ludwisiak it was amazing :( -_- perfect!
jaciline lee
He has the best voice of his generation
mattyk209 funny

Bob A damn mad rude with it
Adamaris Rosado lol if I was being rude, then I'd be cursing and insulting someone. I have done neither of those things so your point is invalid.
We want Sam ft. Adele
Gustavo Gullyver - Someone please, get this somewhere.
Adele ft Sam Smith
Oh shit YES
😍☺
we all do :))
This song mean so much to me 😥 my baby boy was born asleep on the 6.12.18 and we played it at his funeral. Sam if you ever read this I dont think you understand how much you got me and my 8 year daughter through everything from my depression constantly listening to your album through losing my baby boy I love you 😥❤
when he nailed the high notes at 3:06.. how the freaking brick can he do that effortlessly?!?!?!
Rimarvelous _ it's only a D5 in head voice, nothing's easier than it...
Dem. L it’s easy for a female but not a male. he makes the notes sound flawless and that’s hard for a male
@@dem.l1278 It's C#5
@@dem.l1278 girl idk if you're a Broadway singer or whatever but I'm telling you- D5 is NOT easy, not even for women let alone men
its easy
his voice is as clear as a lake
There are polluted lake as well
SuperKiko112 *ruins it*
He's so gorgeous live. Saw him tonight at his concert and his eyes have these amazing twinkle in them. So gorgeous. And for his voice, voice of an angel
+Nadia Nads l agree he's an angel
I WENT TO SEE SAM SMITH LAST YEAR , IT WAS MY DREAM TO SEE SAM SMITH
I CRIED WHEN I SAW SAM SMITH
Love how his voice is just 100% perfect. Sounds the same way in his songs, and live. That's just absolutely incredible, God gave him such a gift. And he is using it well.

Omg people usually sound worse when its live but Sam Smith my God he is unbelievebly talanted.
I have to cry when I hear this
It's so beatiful
This has to be one of the best performances I've watched in my whole entire life. I felt like I was there!
Producer: how much autotune?
Sam Smith: You are fired
Binge watching Sam Smith videos.
He needs to come out with a new album asap.
Sadly it'll be 2017 before that happens
+Abby Spitzer its 2017 :)

Pure talent
The male version of Adele. The only 2 people in this world that could give me eargasm. 👂🎉

I think he's the bast male voice right now in this whole world.
Who would ever give this man a thumbs down??? They clearly are deaf!! His voice is nothing short of magical!!
I'm SO in love with the part he does sometimes at the "top", like at 3:09; the way hes singing "side". Hands down everyone else please
This Always makes me cry , like if u agree
Not cry but speechless and in awe

I thank God for giving me the privilegie to enjoy this incredible voice. This guy is so talented!! Bless you Sam!! I will never forget your 2019 Buenos Aires Lollapalloza show!
Makes chills run down my spine. Sam has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard .I would love to lay by his side..WONDERFUL.
I love it when artists can actually sing.
me too.
And don't sound like shit live

Ninjappleblock Very respectful comment.Even though his music isn't totally your cup of tea,you didn't feel the need to bash him.Very cool indeed!
One of the best indoor performances, if Sam doesn't already know!!! AWESOME! xx
Que voz é essa ???? Quando a música ultrapassa todos os limites emocionais acontece isso 😭❤
Really!? I have no words.... Simply perfect and amazing. The best live ever!
This performance so magical, Sam voice just hypnotizes.
And why someone says do not exist perfectness, I don't agree and see here that PERFECT. He deserve all thats applause and many more, God bless You, Sam

Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran. One direction. Adele. James Bay.
it's 2019 and i still can't stop listening to this one...
The confidence to hit those high notes is amazing♥️

This song reminds me of my mom,.when I miss my mom I hear this song and sing it out loud to feel my mom. It's been a one year that she passed away 😭
Md Alamin awww I can feel your pain
The part that hit me the most is you can tell hes hurting in this performance...the way hes swaying back and forth as if a child needing to be rocked by its mother, the red eyes, and the shakiness in his voice towards the very end.
Perfeito DEMAIS!!!! Como pode????
His voice... no words to describe. I love it. His music, his words they capture your heart.
Hehe I see what you did there :)
no doubt my favourite singer,literally crying my eyes out everytime I listen to his song...

Not sure why people dislike this incredible and beautiful performance. It's just about his voice, nothing else.
everyone tells me I have no heart...I haven't cried since I was 9 or something...but right now I'm crying goshh he's not human
his voice is wonderful! i love it!
I just can't believe his voice so BEAUTIFUL..even on live performances.. and I'm still watching in 2019..
not many can get me, but Sam's voice gives me chills...absolutely adore him!!
He is such a talented man😍😍😍
can't get enough of sam, such an amazing artist
how is that possible? sounds exactly like the studio version, his voice is magic
His voice is like the purest diamond, i've ever heard , it's simply amazing.
He’s voice is that pure that he doesn’t even need auto tune. It’s just amazing!
