[@sacrilegiousboi978]

A rare example of a singer who sounds just as good live as in the studio

[@jasoncraig-mackie2223]

Just a pity the same can't be said for the band. Ouch, painful.

[@0mp0y]

I enjoy the fact that all the instruments can be distinctly heard -- they all work together without drowning out one or the other.

[@peterspering3709]

And that’s precisely what’s wrong with it. It’s not cohesive, so it sounds like a jumble of instruments. He’s got a lovely voice, but they weren’t supporting him. They were playing over him. That’s why the end was the best part, when they piped down and let his singing take centre stage.

[@marcusflynn3221]

This guy needs more recognition!

[@stephenraynes2148]

Maybe? Some of it sounded pretty flat.

[@malcolmbeckett9802]

Sam Sparrow, this track is so underrated, he's got a great voice and from what I've seen in other videos, he has a very positive attitude ,knows that we all gotta make the best of our time

[@laurenedney7]

@@malcolmbeckett9802 basically what happened is that everyone listened to it around that time and because so it's died out. Plus the view count is low because most of us didn't use KZbin then.

[@MINIMOTOMADNESS]

i agree he is one in a billion

[@koleon06]

No he doesn’t

[@bi1iruben]

Original electronic version of this was fun, this shows a different approach to the song. In so doing both helps emphasise the underlying quality of the songwritting and also his voice. Nice

[@louisecrouch7724]

January 2023, absolutely love this gentleman's vocals and this wonderful song.

[@cam-the-bassist]

What a voice...such control of the deep notes

[@millankoek2055]

One of the best songs ever made!

[@TheTammy2000]

THIS WAS A TUNE BACK A DAY

[@BionicBipolar]

this song, this performance, sam sparro is perfection.

Man it just gives me butterflies seeing Adele and Lilly jammin to Sam!!! 🙌🏾

[@Milandilio]

Such a beautiful, raw, natural voice. LOVE HIM!

[@falloutgirl902]

Lily and Adele with their debut albums 🙈💆🏽‍♀️ late 00s was such a time 🖤

I loved this song ever since it came out

[@amoryll36]

I love this song. It was nice to hear him sing it a little different 👌🏾 Totally underrated young man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💖

[@dionnepalmer9716]

Goosebumps at 3:13. Wow!

[@malcolmbeckett9802]

Sam Sparrow, bloody hell, what a voice and yes why is he not giving us more 🤔

[@laurenedney7]

🤦🏻 he is, just isn't largely recognised as times change and people move on. Maybe if you just look him up you'll find new stuff.

[@Blood0cean]

@@laurenedney7 tbh his new stuff is pretty garbage... i dont think this type of song was his to begin with

[@gladiator3543]

Absolutely flawless performance, from Sam's voice to Jool's piano, loved it.

[@PAmustangskickass]

[@royb2251]

2023 and it’s still an amazing song and performance , sung perfectly by a very talented person and the accompanying orchestra ain’t bad either 👍🏻

[@Blood0cean]

why does that sound like dead end denial. not saying that it is, but u extremely young by todays standards to be doing and done that.

[@nanikin12]

This song used to come on the radio all the time wen i was small

[@ButchEkstrom]

Sam paired with Jools Holland's orchestra. Very kicky, very up.

[@Killercoldice22]

@@amoryll36 well sam sparro even said in an interview he thinks god exist but he still thinks evolution is real, but he thinks god made the universe.

[@HAltaf96]

He's actually saying that if God doesn't exist, the only option is nihilism

[@beatrizvalenzuela7513]

Love this song and this show!!! 😘

[@brunoivanlara6310]

OMG... Adele in Minute 3:11 ...... Amazing....!!

[@wacowizard]

The first time I heard this song I thought Sam was black because of how soulful his voice is and that old guy on the drums killed it

[@TrinaBinaBaby]

Sam is awesome!!

[@ian2day953]

I can remember writing these lyrics. They just flowed out of me onto the page.

Did anyone else catch Annie Lennox at 2:43? :D Between her, Adele, Lily Allen, and Sam Sparro, the room should have just imploded from all the talent assembled at one time.
