[@PhillipLWilcher]

Tears this side of the world, and it's not the first time Tom Odell has occasioned them from me! This is so beautiful! So beautiful!

[@CambrianHall]

What more is from his side to offer, songs like Another Love, Black Friday?

[@PhillipLWilcher]

@@CambrianHall True!

[@el-genio]

@@CambrianHallMagnetised (piano version) is great

[@babels5]

All the emotions and the way he transmits that into one song is outstanding. One day I want to shake this man‘s hand and tell him he’s done good in this world, for one man‘s life certainly.

[@michelemercie5676]

C est beau ce que vous dites !

[@nigelwilliamson9080]

One of the best songs ever made thank you Tom, powerful, emotional heart wrenching, beautiful

[@vikterimsaite4889]

This song kept me alive this whole month. Literally, after unsuccessfully commiting suicide, I listened this song every day non stop. So emotional, so pure... I can feel sound flowing through my body. Thank you...

[@Lee-sx6zv]

Keep going please.

[@rubyg322]

You are an amazing and beautiful person...I hope you are moving forward and going from strength to strength whilst you navigate what might be a tricky road ❤

[@fedup745]

Oh dear, you are so valuable to this world. We need you!

[@laurasweeney557]

there is beauty in this world even though its harsh at times. You make a difference ❤by being here

[@hellenlorranysousa977]

Be strong ❤

[@smoly37]

Heartwrenching. "I thought that you loved me, what happened to us?"

[@thenateyoulove]

That lyric really cuts me up inside - it's so impactful

[@smoly37]

Love can cut really deep. And good lyrics and some poems (in fact the same) can be painful.

[@prodbylalelu]

How emotionally wonderful that version was performed, absolutely amazing

[@michaelnewton3121]

Tom has of course always been a great singer and performer, but he really has improved his voice even further and his performing in general the last couple of years

[@user-ut3cc2do4j]

Wow! What an incredible, heartfelt song! The talent of the writing of the lyrics coupled with the beauty of the music is so incredible.

[@Anil18834]

Sublime performance. I'm crying. Beautiful.

[@justynapiatkowska3213]

I'm in a difficult place right now. I really hope that this album will gently hold my heart. Or just tore it apart. Thank you, Tom. From the bottom of my heart. It's perfect time for this album. I need it so much.

[@theinsidiouslovers]

you’ll make it , trust the process ….

[@nourhani2050]

me too..

[@michelemercie5676]

Tout le monde aura son étoile qui brille !

[@davidflannigan2615]

WoW what a truly breath taking performance with such powerful lyrics

[@elizabethsaunders5027]

So super Tom!

[@ohitsolly677]

I wanna go party, I wanna have fun I wanna be happy, could you show me how it's done? You look so pretty, pretty like the sun I could watch forever while you shine on everyone It's Black Friday, we're in a black taxi You take my hand and hold it gently on the middle seat It's all in my head, it's all in my mind I'm so selfish, you're so kind It's all in my head, baby, I can't breathe I look in the mirror, what is happening to me? I wanna better body, I want better skin I wanna be perfect like all your other friends You look so pretty, pretty like the wind Every time you touch me, I feel adrenaline It's Black Friday, the end of the week You take my hand and hold it gently up against your cheek It's all in my head, it's all in my mind I see the darkness where you see the light It's all in my head, who do I trust? I thought that you loved me, what is happening to us? What is happening to us? What is happening to us? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GabrielKerr]

That just floored me.

[@its_atre]

[@xusman7874]

Te echo tanto de menos...

[@user-ls6ko7dc9g]

Ein grossartiger Song von einem großartigen Künstler ❤

[@read.thestars]

I totally agree. Tom is a fantastic singer and songwriter, the likes of whom you don't find very often. Unfortunately, he (still) doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He's a genius and hardly anyone notices it. @tompeterodell

[@Geek4Glamour]

He is so amazing!

[@TomoMedina]

Long live to Tom Odell!

[@megyyyyyyy]

Love these moments listening to Tom before going to sleep and going somewhere else ❤

[@loraineriddell7157]

Goosebumps 👏👏👏

[@Sunshine-oe7mr]

So beautiful ❤thank you ❤

[@annameuleman8938]

so awesome!

[@user-lc1wk5dh5h]

One we don’t have thanksgiving here. That one hasn’t reached us yet. Black Friday in the title refers to a day that is sad bad and upsetting, and masterfully portrayed.

[@davidaccensisubirats1233]

Best performance EVER

[@Geek4Glamour]

Wow, I feeeel the passion

[@herminefanyan]

How happy I would have been to be in the audience

[@BarrocoMobilia-gw3vb]

Nice! He handed that master his a**!!!!

[@neerajpathak2887]

I am so selfish, and you are so kind.😢

[@dimassicharbel1798]

4.59 my new record for holding my breath !!!

[@deborahbrookes-mangan4107]

Since this is on Letters Live, are these words taken from a letter?

[@jj9749]

Reminds me of Streets of Heaven, another great song

[@adrianmorris8258]

sounds like the group blue nile .

[@murielgibbs1070]

I did not know this song and unfortunately many of the words are still unknown. Creating emotional responses, for me, is more than the loud button.

[@rameshdevasi6720]

Underated?

[@inkindem]

[@nomadphoebe]

i wanna be pretty...

[@danashane]

Wait. What does this have to do with day-after-Thanksgiving sales?

[@user-fj9pg6ld8k]

Absolutely nothing.

[@tinaaskari9472]

I was hoping he had played “another love”🥺

[@user-sp7rz1jr5p]

Did u know that Christ died on the cross for ur sins?He died w/ nails in His hands & thorns on His head but he did for u. Repent of sins and works and works, believe God raised Him from the dead three days later, confess Christ is Lord. Accept Him as ur Lord and Savior. Turn to Christ before it’s too late!❤

[@mael1515]

A little unlucky to have such trivial lyrics at an event where the opposite is celebrated. 🤷

[@marinarae809]

These lyrics are not trivial. What an absurd thing to say.
