The best thing about this is the contrast between the presenter who sounds like she smokes 60 Benson & Hedges every day and the purity of the singer's voice.
You know, this made me think that there must be a kind of weird, if fleeting, collective realisation in that room when a band performs like that, in that kind of environment - for a few minutes afterwards, the wannabe popstrels, the audience, and the judges must really have a clear sense of how absurd these programmes are, when they are interrupted by the presence of serious talent, the kind that makes people stop what they're doing and be transfixed (as I was). This kind of power, arrangement, delicacy, and sheer musical heft simply cannot be manufactured, and will always find its audience without artificial help. Just brilliant.
This is the best version of one of if not my ultimate favorite song. Normally I prefer the controlled studio environment that allows us to isolate sounds but once in a while live will blow me away. Hannah and the boys were on point, and whoever sets up the sound for that Italian show is a legit pro and deserves a heap of the credit.
Despite possessing movie star beauty, Hannah Reid never allows her looks to detract from her voice. She never forces her audience to choose between their eyes and their ears when she sings, choosing, more confidently, to rest the burden of success as a performer on her golden vocal cords, instead of her golden hair, and allowing her fans to fall in love with her talent without requiring them to fall in love, first, with her beauty. While she could succeed on looks alone, as many other, less gifted vocalists have before her, instead, she chooses to appreciate her fan's taste in good music, making it, not her cheekbones, the real star of the stage. This, in addition to her stunning vocals, is what sets her apart from so many other artists and makes her likely a voice we will listen to for many years to come.
I've noticed that. I think she suffers from stagefright too. Although the guitarist and drummer could easily be replaced with session guys, I love the way London Grammar hold themselves together and don't allow that shit to happen, especially of course Hannah. Apart from her obvious brilliance as a singer, I really respect Hannah for keeping it together with her 'band'.
This live performance is out of this world. The band is always great, her talent is always amazing, and this song is always beautiful, but there is just something special about this performance that makes me listen to it over and over and over, almost crying. It's perfect. Better than all the other versions. Her voice just blows you away. She looks like a model, too. Doesn't matter, though. Just close your eyes and escape the madness of this world. Thank you, Hannah Reid and London Grammar, you're a gift to this world.
im just doing the opposite of what people does to blacks by being afraid of offending them, there is a wave of anti white sentiment from many people , and im going against that wave.
Back, white or brown - regardless, great vocals like this transcend skin colour or even gender. Just enjoy beautiful brilliance without having to define it.
Daughter had to tour the US 2 times before gaining a major following. London Grammar toured part of the US and cancelled the rest of their tour after releasing their first album. I have only witnessed their live performances when visiting the UK. It is an amazing experience. It is probably for the best since some producer has not tried to change their sound to appeal to a more American audience like what happened to Chvrches.
I feel the same. I can’t believe they are that good. Hannah is in a league of her own. Just an amazing young woman. And to think this is live in front of an audience............
The looks of Everbody looking/ listening says it all!!! The Uk Trio Just Blew There Minds!! I don't believe they were expecting PERFECTION!!!!....I Hope London Grammar will be around for a long time, They really have something so Special, GOD GIVEN EVEN!!!
When Hannah is struggling to sing at her obviously un-earthly level of excellence you can see the pain in her face (see other live recordings), she doesn't hide it well. That's why it was so nice to see at 3:57 her smile with an almost cheeky grin, like yeah I know I just blew everyone out of their seats.
This must be one of the best songs ever written, sung and played live in the best possible way :) :) :) Goosebumbs are rare with music these days, but here ... omg
just absolutely smashing it out of the park! What an amazing performance. Hannah has the voice of an angel and everyone who followed them must have felt completely humbled and outclassed.
Beautiful song from an incredibly beautiful young lady...................oh and also, does anyone else think the host sounds like an Italian Marge Simpson?
100000% agree that’s why i keep coming back to listen to this performance. It’s not just the stripped down version but also the arrangement of the verse/chorus/bridge sounds way more attractive as well as hannah’s diff melodys she adds. in the studio versions it stays the same throughout without those added gorgeous melodies & now i’ve listened to this version the original sounds kinda boring and repetitive.
This is the best version of this song. Even better than the album version. Hannah is awesome here and Dan's guitar playing is world class. Dot, you're also the best! I can't believe I just discovered you guys!
Hannah is so gifted. She is an angel in waiting. Love your Beautiful Gifted Voice. Irene Alexander (Scotland). The emotion is Heavenly to write such beautiful meaning words wow!!!!!! Thanks Hannah for truly making my friends so loved x
What a performance, outstanding. Outstanding musicians,London Grammar. The contestant's and judges look blown away by their performance. Thanks for sharing, Grazie mille
Was I the only one with a tear in my eye? Brings you down to earth. We need a song like this in these times where we are only busy with informing our "friends" on social media about our so called "happy life". This song brings you back to reality. You can also read in the faces of this audience that they are brought to reality too. Very emotional and heartbreaking sound. Thank you London Grammar for bringing me to heaven.
I only discovered London Grammar a few weeks ago and just can't stop listening and watching them. The vocals are amazing and the musical composition is great. The audience certainly got a real treat with that performance.
I can beat that as I have only just discovered them due to mainly listening to bass music by the likes of Synkro.My daughter was watching live lounge on Friday night and I heard them from the kitchen and came in and was blown away by their complete talent and am now going through their back catalogue.Just watched Californian soil mesmerising video and song.
Hannah and the Boys, you've stolen my heart...your music and art is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life...please carry on just the way you are...for ever never!
I don't know whot explosed me ... London Grammar live, the italian audience, the lady mastering the show ................... In each single thing, that is a real show of pleasure !!!!!!! and more : did I noticed London Grammar ?????? nohting can be better :)
Who else is here in 2024 still loving this masterpiece song
This is the song that should be used to showcase humanity when the aliens come this year
Me
@@scottrossloudonyou definitely have a point 🫡
Hannah was flawless on this rendition. Better than the album version
Yeah. Sometimes a live performance is way better than a studio one.
The best thing about this is the contrast between the presenter who sounds like she smokes 60 Benson & Hedges every day and the purity of the singer's voice.
This lady has a fantastic voice and the group are great
My son told me about the group and I thank my lucky stars that he
did I'm Hook.
Fantastic
This comment made my day 😂
Hahaha
Yeah, really! And the taste of those 60 Cigarettes she washes down with two to three bottles of Johnnie Walker
👍🏼 😎
7 years later still comming back.
Me too.
For a good reason.
The fact that she sounds even better live is mind blowing .. what an absolute pleasure that was and what a talent !
Pure class
Amen... 😇
for real it's better than the official audio
Fantastic live at Glasgow last summer as they toured with Coldplay; unbelievable day ❤
Sound was filtered and autotuned and edited... how can you not hear that?
You know, this made me think that there must be a kind of weird, if fleeting, collective realisation in that room when a band performs like that, in that kind of environment - for a few minutes afterwards, the wannabe popstrels, the audience, and the judges must really have a clear sense of how absurd these programmes are, when they are interrupted by the presence of serious talent, the kind that makes people stop what they're doing and be transfixed (as I was). This kind of power, arrangement, delicacy, and sheer musical heft simply cannot be manufactured, and will always find its audience without artificial help. Just brilliant.
So true,she is just on another plain..you have put it in a nutshell.
As in Jethro Tull?
It would be like performing at a concert after the band Queen.
@@thebushguy (the kids have no F'ing clue)
Well put
Who else is here in 2020 still loving this song
I have traveled to the U.K. to see them twice. They are amazing live.
Just stop that trend for shits sake
i will still hear them 20,21,22,23,.....
good music dont have age!!!
me, from Johannesburg
When Hannah sings, the earth's rotation slows.
Nah the sun 🌞 moves around us.
It does slow ! Not many humans can do that ... Well done. How did you find this ...
I feel this same
It's flat
This is a lifetime song. We still here 06.09.2024.
It's pure magic ❤
This is the best version of one of if not my ultimate favorite song. Normally I prefer the controlled studio environment that allows us to isolate sounds but once in a while live will blow me away.

holy shit her voice is out if this world
the reincarnation of Sandy Denny
thats right!
The compare ?

She never forces her audience to choose between their eyes and their ears when she sings, choosing, more confidently, to rest the burden of success as a performer on her golden vocal cords, instead of her golden hair, and allowing her fans to fall in love with her talent without requiring them to fall in love, first, with her beauty.

This, in addition to her stunning vocals, is what sets her apart from so many other artists and makes her likely a voice we will listen to for many years to come.
It was actually strange to see her with makeup on in this (or at least, more striking makeup than usual)!
She's an angel.

I've noticed that. I think she suffers from stagefright too. Although the guitarist and drummer could easily be replaced with session guys, I love the way London Grammar hold themselves together and don't allow that shit to happen, especially of course Hannah.

Bravo, well said mate
three humans, three instruments - beautiful
No hype, non angst, no competitive bull.
Just beautiful
David Boson A true shining light in the bleak and depressing times we live in today. If only more 'pop' music was this inventive and original...
Not to mention this woman's voice is one of the best I've ever heard! So beautiful.
Yes please no fights.
I’d love to agree, apart from the pre programmed backing track.
This performance would stand up in any time frame , thousands of years future or past .
This live performance is out of this world. The band is always great, her talent is always amazing, and this song is always beautiful, but there is just something special about this performance that makes me listen to it over and over and over, almost crying.

You are absolutely right!!
Some live sessions are like that. We also have to credit this italian audience.
I keep coming back too! It's a wonderful proformance indeed
Gives me chills how good it is
AGREED! I keep coming back to this version. It's stellar!
If this is live, she's an angel!
It definitely is. She changed a lot of little stuff, especially in the chorus.
I thought exactly the same at the beginning, this is incredible.
100% live.. yes
go watch their KEXP performance. It's just incredible.
Goosebumps, every time.
I love how spiky hair goes from mildly amused at 0:58 to stupefied at 02:38
Man she is so beautiful.
of course she is, shes white.
+Luzitanium What do you mean by that? Are people with other skin colours not? That was a bit superficial.
+Luzitanium Tha fuuuu...?
im just doing the opposite of what people does to blacks by being afraid of offending them, there is a wave of anti white sentiment from many people , and im going against that wave.
Back, white or brown - regardless, great vocals like this transcend skin colour or even gender. Just enjoy beautiful brilliance without having to define it.
I wish more Americans could learn to appreciate music and talent like this. Her voice is just phenomenal. Why is stuff like this never on the radio?
Daughter had to tour the US 2 times before gaining a major following.

@South Bound lmao
What are you talking about she's adored in the US.
I pretty much cry everytime I hear her sing.
Because they haven't sold their souls.....😁
Just been listening to “rooting for you” what a lovely song
This is the most beautiful performance I have ever heard and seen.
It's just so good. I love this band
Quite Brilliant.
It’s just so good I can’t stop listening. And it’s live which is just more impressive! 2023 London Grammar going strong.
I'm glad I'm not the only 1
OUTSTANDING VOCAL.
Who else listening to this song in 2023
Damn straight, LG doesn’t get old.
@@Johnthemanc22you lost?
2023? You could move the 3 in front and people will still be listening to this because music like this is timeless
2024 and smoothly going
Always wind up back here...
They are all looking at her knowing they can never touch her Talent,,, She is Amazing!!
This takes my breath away EVERY time.
Shout out to the sound tech.
For me, the best live performance of this song. Please, come back in Italy. We are rooting for you! ♥️
Iam from Uganda.Its 2024. Just discoverd this band and m in love. Actually obsessed with the music. What an Angelic voice! OMG❤
🔥🙏🏻
Ugandan here too here🙋..mehn these guys are awesome. "Hey now" was the song of theirs that got me hooked🔥🔥
Welcome to the internet friends!
Good choice, her voice is even more lovely than her looks. And she is a terrific songwriter.
This is my favourite version of this
I've watched this for the past 5 days non stop, it's my fav London Grammar song
No matter how many times I listen to this I'm gobsmacked
I feel the same. I can’t believe they are that good. Hannah is in a league of her own. Just an amazing young woman. And to think this is live in front of an audience............
I wish it never ends ...
Pure class is this a talent show they appeared on hannah is wonderful
the flow in her movement
The looks of Everbody looking/ listening says it all!!! The Uk Trio Just Blew There Minds!! I don't believe they were expecting PERFECTION!!!!....I Hope London Grammar will be around for a long time, They really have something so Special, GOD GIVEN EVEN!!!
Absolute flawless
The reaction and look on everyone's faces in the audience is gold :-D
I wasn’t there but I’m still blown away by that
This live version is simply legendary...
Everyone's expression.. priceless. Seems like they heard the real music for the first time.
What a bloody voice
And absolute the best version of this song!!!!
Absolute agree
Ppl say the music today sucks. Well they arnt listening to this . This is epic music that stands up to all time .I will be listening to this for yrs
When Hannah is struggling to sing at her obviously un-earthly level of excellence you can see the pain in her face (see other live recordings), she doesn't hide it well. That's why it was so nice to see at 3:57 her smile with an almost cheeky grin, like yeah I know I just blew everyone out of their seats.
This must be one of the best songs ever written, sung and played live in the best possible way :) :) :) Goosebumbs are rare with music these days, but here ... omg
brought tears to my eyes that did, gorgeous.
Love the guitar in this one especially
Ladies and gentlemen , this is " Music Revolution "
just absolutely smashing it out of the park! What an amazing performance. Hannah has the voice of an angel and everyone who followed them must have felt completely humbled and outclassed.
Her voice is so enchanting that honestly I feel a slight tear in my eye everytime I watch this performance (at least once a week).
Me too
It has exactly that affect ....truly outstanding performance
Wow. Don't tell anyone 🎉
I think I've watched it 50 times, and I still look forward to the next one.
Doesnt matter , she has a voice ,wow , love her vibe,hanna has always had range ,power ,when needed
The UK delivers talent. Consistant.
Yeah .. I'm from France and I don't know how or why so many great artists come all from the UK ..
Sweden agrees (despite being neutral)
I am from the U.K. but they are still some good bands from other countries have a listen to aurora
UK has special talent for music. However full credit to the italian aidience for this unbelievable performance.
Beautiful song from an incredibly beautiful young lady...................oh and also, does anyone else think the host sounds like an Italian Marge Simpson?
They have just had there mind blown, the UK just has the best bands. Nuff said
The most perfect, beautiful English rose!
They looked stunned at her
talent!!
Blew the skeptical Italians away. Incredible performance.
That voice though, what a gift, not only to Hannah Reid, but to all of mankind.
la très belle Hannah et sa superbe voix
The hosts faces are so shocked lol like they've been missing out on real music all their lives :-D
If you have one of the best female voices in the world of Rock/Pop,.... the crowd who didn't know you, locks as you as an alien.
This is better than the album version imo
EskiLd agreed! Love the simplicity without the layered vocals!
You have EARS :)
Agreed
100000% agree that’s why i keep coming back to listen to this performance.

I agree too
Diese Musik ist wie eine Droge, die ich gerne nehme! ❤️❤️❤️
I love this girl pride off britain
best performance of all of the options hands down
This was definitely the best version of this song they have ever performed!
That young guy sitting on the side who they show a few times is absolutely gorgeous looking. London Grammar is superb and her voice is just amazing.
This Hannah is amazing, charisma, voice, everything... Simply gorgeous..
One of the most beautiful performance songs to date LONDON GRAMMAR
Most talented singer I've heard for years.
Perfection at its absolute finest
Greatness is impossible to define. Ethereal. Perfect. Smiling heart.

The angelic, beautiful voice of Hannah in the midst of the plastic mediocrity of an Italian music talent reminds me of a lotus flower in a mud pool.
Hannah and the Boys, you've stolen my heart...your music and art is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life...please carry on just the way you are...for ever never!
Now that's what you call a world class performance👏👌🤝👍👊😎 Bravo
This song has touched me like no other. If there is a heaven this surely is the woman who sings at the pearly gates. Beautiful in every way!
Her voice is so angelic and she is so pretty.
Never heard of London Grammer before, but I must say - very pleasant to listen to.
Check out their other tunes like "strong" for a start. Magic
This is what perfection sounds like
Seem them live on Saturday, hands down the best voice I've ever heard.
Its a long time since I have been blown away by a talented band.........enter London Grammar. WOW
her smile at the end is so lovely. an angel,a beauty.
I don't know whot explosed me ... London Grammar live, the italian audience, the lady mastering the show ................... In each single thing, that is a real show of pleasure !!!!!!! and more : did I noticed London Grammar ?????? nohting can be better :)
