Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall (from Spectre) (Taps Cover)

[@thetacticalfuturist588]

There a few times in your life when you see a performance and at that time you know you have seen perfection! This is one of them!

Thank you so much.

Thank you. I just couldn't articulate my emotions and thoughts after hearing this soul stirring rendition.

[@thomasnguka2097]

After lock down Cape Town South Africa. I’m in table mountain filling to sing this song top 16.09.2020

[@thebrazilshow]

I just watched Sam Smith's version with a live orchestra, it was very good, especially the orchestra, but to keep it 100, This version blows the original away. Tap's vocals, soulfulness and phrasing are just killing it! The video was perfectly filmed and edited too. Congratulations to the Director.

[@zulkifliabdullah6829]

I cant agree more

[@rickotindage9927]

I have been listening to this song with different covers, and yet I came to the conclusion that no one can beat Taps' version. He even made this song sound better than the original. This guy has a killer falsetto! Every morning, to get me going I make a habit to listen to this song.

[@mamtazmalik6854]

💯 agree 😊

[@ikirsty7063]

i hope you truly understand how beautiful your voice is. If you read this Taps, please take a moment to tell yourself how amazing your gift is!

I am sitting here having a headache trying to figure out why u are not on radio every single time, winning awards, singing in sold out shows, damn man what's wrong with this world and music industry. Love your covers but Sober, Waiting for you and wanna hear your voice hit me hard man. Thank you for invoking emotions in me that i thought were gone. Makaipa homeboy

[@alexgonzales6883]

@Tayt Much It was good but it was kind of hard to hear him push his voice and failing to clearly hit notes as well as a ver shaky voice, way to much air coming through.Definitely not even close to the original needs some work for sure.

[@pedrosimango3686]

Incrível, incrível, incrível. Ele sai e entra na tonalidade flacete. Good, good.

[@oterrabcire]

I love this song and I think he does it better than the original artist. His voice is so rich and hypnotic. I feel it in my everything when he sings.

[@kem6429]

Just saw video Sam Smith version, but this is the definitive version: It's nuanced, convincing, and emotional--you believe it, you feel it.

[@katguillot5563]

Soulful is a great description . I am sad that it took me 6 years to find this. I loved the octave deep then octave up and the silence at the end. Most awesome

[@Yarnah1]

I absolutely love and adore Sam Smith but wow, this guy completely gave meaning and depth to this song! Great job, sir.

[@Dancingpastmidnight]

Year after year, I come back to this performance and am amazed all over again. There are only a handful of artists who can accomplish that.

[@nataliakom8310]

this is AMAZING! That's exactly what I was missing in Sam's version, some sort of change in the "how do I live, how do I breathe(...)" part of the chorus. In the original version it got so repetitive and I felt that it missed some more power. You made this song absolutely amazing. wow. Greetings from Poland! :)

[@annabelleclaudio8773]

I feel exactly the same

[@indranilb2008]

Exactly and the only way to judge covers, is this stanza 'how do I live...'. Just that thing tells it all. Till now I found 2 covers doing it perfectly including this one.

[@indranilb2008]

+Natalia Kom It's the one by Sofia Karlberg, the one with highest views.

[@nataliakom8310]

Indranil Biswas​ oh I didn't particularly like this one, I felt that the vibrato was forced and by the comments I wasn't the only one.. I love her crazy in love cover though! 👌👌

[@nelsonfong8697]

+Natalia Kom I totally agree with you 100% Natalia. Taps Maguadza just nailed it and performs this song million times better than Sam Smith's version funny thing is too is that Sam Smith's is the original Singer he wrote the music and lyrics so I don't get it that other people sing the song way better than him.

[@juliesmith5831]

I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS GUY!!! 😍 Could listen to him all day everyday. His voice is more than sublime. The rich full bodied tone, the control, the power and projection, he knows HOW to breath to be able to deliver this kind of emotion, the pure God given talent to know WHAT TO DO with each and every note to really bring this song home. This is without a doubt and likely to always be the all time best version of this song.

[@RJB_TV]

stylistic choices such as the one at 3:15 are what makes this particularly awesome

[@sweetgabaruby]

This version is very soulful, Musculine and breath taking. Thank you so much!

[@dotendit]

Exactly.

[@Luvie1980]

Emphasis on the word masculine!

[@dickyramadhani7127]

You are RIGHT! 👍👍👍👍 I love this version

[@KINGFINEGAN]

yah like it is a very hard song for most males and very emotional

[@thebrazilshow]

Yes, "masculine" would a great description. Very Bond.

[@jenniferchaney3019]

[@Andylane23]

The vocal changes at the end are legendary!

[@TheWelshgem]

Is this guy famous? If not, why the hell not?! He made me cry. Sang with such feeling I got goosebumps. And he's so handsome. But my God what a voice. Loving Tags xxxxx . Sing like that and you'd be a star in the UK.

[@onmas909]

I remember playing this in the car and my friend thinking this was the original. That's how great this sounds :)

[@reeseczbigboss2116]

Jak je možné že takový zpěvák není světově známý ? Perfektní ❤

[@MalcolmNathrienS1lv34]

I like his slight accent, it enriches the song in a unique way only he could. His falsetto/head voice is impressive, and the fact he can maintain it for a near 5 minute song leaves for a whole lot of wow.

[@gracejessy2994]

I've been here before But always hit the floor I've spent a lifetime running And I always get away But with you I'm feeling something That makes me want to stay I'm prepared for this I never shoot to miss But I feel like a storm is coming If I'm gonna make it through the day Then there's no more use in running This is something I gotta face If I risk it all Could you break my fall? How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you I have to risk it all 'Cause the writing's on the wall A million shards of glass That haunt me from my past As the stars begin to gather And the light begins to fade When all hope begins to shatter Know that I won't be afraid If I risk it all Could you break my fall? How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you I have to risk it all 'Cause the writing's on the wall The writing's on the wall How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you I have to risk it all 'Cause the writing's on the wall

Usually I don't like covers because they are inferior to the original. But this is the exception. Sam's version was good, but this one is far superior. You can hear every note of emotion in this man's voice. Can someone please hire this man to sing the next 007 movie song, please? He was born to do this.

[@ZeroStriker426]

This cover is... actually very good. Very, very, very, very, very good. This is exactly how I imagined the song should be sang. An African-American's voice really gives it that "punch" in the song, especially in the first few seconds. I like that twist on the chorus at the ending, using a very low pitch and then going back to the usual high pitch. I honestly prefer this over the original.
