Maegan Lozano your right lol

[@pizzawithoutconsequence5626]

Look Lewis is a god damn generational talent but you're not giving pancake recipes enough credit here as those are also very moving.

[@elizabethcat2132]

I'm starting to think that may be true, after I just enjoyed listening to a song about cleaning up puke.

[@dinoGhandi]

Lewis Capaldi singing "I'M A GROWN WOMAN" is something I didn't realise I needed today

[@ial6274]

If Dean Lewis and Lewis Capaldi ever collaborate they could call themselves either "Dean & Lewis" or "Lewis & Capaldi". You can thank me later.

Lewis Capaldi isn't just one of the greatest voices of all time, he's also naturally hilarious. He deserves every ounce of his success because he's as genuine and as talented as it's possible to be.

[@meganwardle8044]

he’s just the best isn’t he. Could literally sing that I’ve failed all my GCSEs and I’d still cry with happiness

How the feck does he turn a dog throwing up into a good song - how ❤️❤️❤️

[@jolenelarson469]

This kid has a great future, a sense of humor will help him through the hard times of fame, critics, songs that aren't hits, etc! Love his voice, can't believe he's so young, sounds very gritty and "old-soul" for 22. Look forward to hearing what he does in the future.

[@luvg_rose]

"I had a dream at 5:30 have you ever thought about that?! Christyyyy!" I love how he just went from humor to very beautiful. A man with a beautiful voice. I cried and laughed at the same time this is amazing

[@NathanFarrisRI]

The beginning of the maldives song slaps haha
