Done 👍🏻

[@magdabrodowska4150]

The song itself is a masterpiece but this version is something even more. ❤ goosebumps ❤

[@MahoganySessions]

Fave comment of the day 😍

[@lanasophia_]

The best songs of Tom’s are when it’s just him and his piano! We need a whole album of Mahogany sessions with Tom 💛

[@MahoganySessions]

We would love that! Sometimes when the songs are stripped back it gives the song a whole new meaning ❤️

[@MahoganySessions]

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 And 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 And 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..

[@summer2743]

Love this version of the song 😍 Also, “I want a better body, I want better skin” reminds me of “I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul” in “Creep” ❤ Love both songs ❤

[@MahoganySessions]

Such powerful lyrics 🖊️ 💔

[@ygbr2997]

this song is meant to be played in the middle-earth

[@pilew26]

Here after watching this performed on Graham Norton. Absolutely amazing. Think I’ve listened about a dozen times now. Live on GN even better than this version. Will be listening to more of his back catalogue. Delivered with so much emotion. Wow.

[@jimbobjunior.]

Haha that's exactly what brought me here too! That performance on Graham Norton was unbelievable.

This is so so so powerful. Tom Odell could literally sing me to sleep. His music is so beautiful, literally don't know what I'd do without it sometimes. Monday, Black Friday, and The End are my 3 favorites.

[@MahoganySessions]

We shot another video with him which is coming soon - you’re going to LOVE it 👀

[@atrabile_9663]

Dear Tom, I've had trouble sleeping since I was a little girl. I've been taking capsules to help me fall asleep lately, but recently I just had the idea of randomly playing all your songs to help me fall asleep. Now I do it every night, and I don't take any more capsules. I just let myself be lulled to sleep by your music...it speaks to me so much, it's so soft and powerful at the same time...thank you. Not a day goes by that I don't listen to your songs, they help me so much...I don't know how I'd do without them! 🙏✨ This live version is magnificent, thanks mahogany 🤍 Tom I can't wait to see you in Paris! You are my favorite singer (sorry for the mistakes I don't speak English very well🇨🇵)

[@MahoganySessions]

Thank you for sharing this with us 🤍

[@isdeirinnme]

I do the same with Breathe Me by Sia (2004). Someone introduced me to it when I was 17. She takes a deep breath and exhales at the beginning of the song, and it relaxes me every single time. For all the likely thousands of times I’ve listened to it over the last 18 years though, I can’t remember the lyrics if the song isn’t playing. Might have something to do with putting it on to be put to sleep.

[@atrabile_9663]

@@isdeirinnme These songs that help us are so precious! I agree, Sia's songs are also really great...they exude sweetness and power, that's all we need. (Breath me was released in 2004?? time flies so quickly 😭)

[@zamiyareese2943]

It sounds even better live!!!!! I love this so much!!!!

[@Josh-wg5gc]

When this song came out it just made me think about the love I lost…. It hurts but it has a certain beauty to it….. like a bittersweet drug…. Just an amazing song that hits u just in the right spot ❤

[@mahajayousi126]

For my blue pain❤

[@colettevenables643]

This is truly a magical masterpiece. I feel it is where you are at your best, sitting at the piano, playing and singing, producing beautiful verses of our human feels. A story of real feelings deep from your soul. I have always felt the words you are portraying in this song. So Basically You are wrapping all these insecurities that we all feel. In comfort. Singing to us? we are not alone... For me, that is genius. So many of us everywhere all over the world, are moved. You are so definitely underrated. You should be treasured. I would sooner sit in and watch you for an hour on a Saturday night, singing playing your piano and talking to us telling stories and inspiring our younger generation. You draw the audiences in and transfer us to a better place. Tom, you are a real musician making music from your heart. I can't wait for this album. I think it will be on repeat for a long time giving me goosebumps thinking about it ❤
