This is not espresso, this is breakfast tea

[@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial]

how insightful and wise

[@Chachixo]

ooh yes London Grammar - haven't seen them in a while. The vocalist still killing it, yes!

[@Constantijn09]

Her voice is so angel, the way she navigates through the registers is like an Olympic Gymnastics Golden Medal routine

[@juliaapriltam]

Oh, yeah

[@justines1919]

It’s like espresso on a rainy day ❤

[@dmitriyevsukov9646]

Piano makes it possible to fully reveal the purity and all the sensual notes of Hannah's incredible voice ❤

[@jjftv949]

Being able to just stand there and sing to that level must feel amazing.

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Quality as always from London Grammar. Stripped back piano giving Hannah's "dovetailing" vocal the freedom of the skies ❤

[@marinaoc3996]

Wow, that range control! She's amazing

[@alifpr]

This is such a great cover! Brings a whole new vibe to the song. ❤

[@TrippyGoblins]

Voice is angelic!! Been a fan since 2014 🫶🏽

[@sophielem59]

Such a good cover! I really love this stripped back version!

[@aran_shakiba]

Now it's really a song that you can listen to over and over again ❤❤❤

London Grammar are so underrated

[@keithbate9405]

How can they be underrated . Their debut album got to Number 2 in the UK charts. There next 2 albums got to number 1. They fill out medium sized venues in hours. They headlined the Park stage at the recent Glastonbury (2024). They filled the tent venue out at GB 10 years ago. They are now playing even larger venues !

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

@@keithbate9405 Taylor Swift has 2 billion plays on one of her 2019 songs while LG has 37m plays on their top played 2021 song. Not that I'd ever want them to be that big or attract a fanbase like that, what a nightmare.

[@hb0x]

@@keithbate9405the fact that they are not internationally recognised means that they are underrated. I can say they are more wellknown amongst indie listeners, not popular enough in the world.

[@keithbate9405]

@@hb0x They have just announced a tour that involves the largest venues in the UK eg the O2 in London. From the word go they were popular in Australia . They were the "big ticket" at the South West festival in Austin, Texas years ago ! Yes they are not as popular as the big pop acts nor the established rock acts. But they are not making music like the former . Nor have they been around as long as the later.

[@hb0x]

@@keithbate9405 please, O2 is still the UK, Australia is only 1 country. Florence and the Machine achieved all of that and more, headlining Gladston, multiple Grammy nods yet they are still by definition "underrated". Nothing wrong with being underrated, as long as we keep promoting and loving them.

[@hahajaz1]

I'm seeing then in the 02 in London in Nov. Cannot wait. Memorising all the lyrics 🎉❤

[@MyNameMeansSheep]

The switch between high and low, damn! ❤

[@BirgitHaan]

What a beautiful version ❤ I love it!!! Thanks to London Grammar ❤

[@hyper_chondriac]

Don't know the song too well but I know I love this 🩵🙌🏽 London Grammar covers are always sublime ✨

[@andrewmay1299]

Where are you living these days? Is it under a rock, or are you on the moon? 🤔

[@synaestheziac]

This is my first time hearing LG and I love this cover! Sometimes that yt algorithm really comes in clutch

[@karlarosas1424]

Be sure to dive into their discography they're amazing!

[@synaestheziac]

@@karlarosas1424will do. You have a favorite song?

[@keithbate9405]

This is the worst track I have heard by them recently. Listen to any of their new tracks. Or anything from their first 3 albums !

[@nicolafigini784]

​@@synaestheziac Four tracks I would recommend: Wasting My Young Years, Hey Now, Strong, Oh Woman Oh Man.

[@strangenessandcharm1706]

i would recommend listening to Oh Woman Oh Man, Lose your Head, Non Believer, May The Best. Those are my all time favorites! also the whole Truth is a beautiful thing Album is magical ❤️‍🔥

[@Phil-tl8vp]

Beautiful as always❤ Hannah is a goddess❤

[@lukesayers7140]

It wasn't until I saw them support Coldplay at Wembley in 2022 that I got hooked. Such a talent and great to see them back in action. Loved watching the Glastonbury performance the other week. Hope to see them roll out a full tour to go catch them.

the high note(?) version towards the end was heavenly

Such a beautiful version!

Got my Tickets for Amsterdam in November :D

[@tkbigboss2012]

THANK U BBC AND LG YOU SAVED MY DAY

[@inshaanam7882]

Felt so good

[@pauljoseph8338]

This may be the first time this song has been sung live without multiple backing tracks…and fronting tracks…

[@BeckyFeltham-m7y]

Absolutely beautiful! ❤

[@ChaayaReehal]

Ahh Such a great cover!

[@masiol2207]

Every time a song is stripped of everything and goes just on piano and voice, it gains an extra gear

[@gunnersdt904]

This is just incredible ❤

[@IqbalHuawei-p6n]

its such a lullaby but so good to be listened in the morning

[@datharo5]

[@adriannademadriguera4859]

Well done! Brava Goddess! 💚💙

[@thecavalieryouth]

02:29 Hannah said she, too, had to jump the octave!

[@Krypto_Noob]

Nice One ❤

[@gaylemestel9080]

Wish they would tour in the US. Love them and this is a beautiful cover!

[@keithbate9405]

They have toured a number of times and will no doubt tour the new album (out in September ) too. Look out for dates and tickets. They will sell out very quickly !

[@MrWinny11]

Listen to the words of America on California soil, don’t think they will be back there anytime soon

[@keithbate9405]

@@MrWinny11 Disagree I don't think that song was aimed specifically at the US . But time will quickly tell . LG will be touring their new album worldwide in 2024 /25

[@tonycairns6728]

I much prefer LG in this stripped-down format. She has a beautiful voice, which gets lost in the stadium sound.

[@IdeasAsOpiates]

Ms Carpenter is not really on my listening radar.. so went and checked the original out. LOVE with London Grammar did with this.. a song that works quite well stripped down LG style.. and done in the original full pop style

[@alemir1975]

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮...what did I just see????

[@compoundchasers1918]

I love her voice but the music they produce isn't great in my opinion. They have so much more potential. However, this is one of their best performances 👌

[@laurenstevenson9024]

Yes tend to agree, the only track that I really love of theirs is the disclosure collab

[@compoundchasers1918]

@laurenstevenson9024 I've never wished success on a band like I have London Grammar. I somehow get the feeling that they have suffered because they don't follow 'the rules' of the industry. Hannah and the band are not willing to sell their souls to the devil x

[@sjsbmksps]

They're just not up to your taste, I love 90% of their stuff, and they've been on my active playlists since 2015, so it's quite subjective depending on the emotion you wish to resonate with. They're a bit bleak but oh, well... Perfect when needed.

[@amadeus004]

Lmao when you realize how dumb the lyrics actually are when sung without all the pop music effects 😂😂😂

[@liv97497]

It's not that they're dumb, they're playful and meant to be light and silly. That's why the actual production of the song works, and this doesn't. They knew what they were doing and a song with those lyrics isn't meant to take itself this seriously.

[@comedyfish]

I actually think the lyrics are incredibly witty. I mount and do it for you (but sounds like the drink) and her Honey B(arry) etc I think this song has really clever lyrics

[@ThorstenMerz]

Methinks we need a stripped back to basics, acoustic album from London Grammar! This is spectacular.

[@FSSNZ]

Man you can't slow down a song like this or you start to think about how stupid the lyrics are lol

[@kumottakun6089]

I can't relate *hee hee* to desperation *UH*

[@Lyposuction]

barely recognised her!

[@Jordan.leighx]

Unpopular opinion but I don't like it.

[@eduardpopovici6776]

Same:)

[@m.e.4461]

Do better

[@shanetrammell]

Hannah did an amazing job, but what a stupid song. I think I lost iq points

[@DanielS10291]

Just highlights how dumb/rubbish the lyrics are

[@commentXrate]

shit song. Awesome band

[@TinyEpics]

Such dumb lyrics. Glad to discover it’s not a London Grammar song but only a cover.

[@strikerbowls791]

I can't stand this song. Pop for 14 year old girls

[@artbyandey]

why can't girls enjoy things without a hater like you giving their unsolicited opinion about it

[@leyehwilliams617]

Yeah because a song about sex is for 14 year olds? Tf are you even talking about

[@sjsbmksps]

Hating on young women there, hon

[@vtopvr]

Stick to your own music, much much better

[@WarnerElliott]

Sinéad O'Connor already did the dress down because of the "I'm too beautiful" thing. I love your music. I think your live stage appearance needs work. No one wants to watch a bird sing in a straight jacket. However, I understand if you were forced back on the road contractually.

[@beab7581]

What? Singing is singing

[@pzboyz72]

Maternity wear?

[@Shelleysnail]

A bird ? 🦢

[@claudiakadow8463]

I personally love her jacket, straight or not 😂
