[@dubsnac7407]

i work nights so i just have my headphones and complete silence with me and then this came on and it just devastates me but like in a bittersweet beautiful way kinda, i dont know how to describe it but its a nostalgic feeling of like lost love and lost freindships and the feeling of people who are scared of opening up to you also a reflection that i myself might be that person... i mean thats what i get from it and thats what makes music beautiful

[@pumakel1]

I cry tears at how this song touches my soul and moves me in ways unimaginable. It takes me back to the time I went to Manchester to see Sampha I was staying in this cute room above a pub overlooking Manchester City with pretty pink flowers on the window sill. .. walking through the Christmas markets ..I was so happy in that moment and his show was amazing front row and followed on by a holiday to Egypt. High point in my life ❤️

Drake brought me here and introduced Sampha who has a very unique voice his piano songs are among the most beautiful of all that I even felt it. I heard this guy Sampha is British but he should get more recognition here in North America in both the U.S. and Canada. Cuz he's one of the realest singers alive with great talent.

Sampha bodied this song is a forever repeat song especially for careless men like myself that just was young with some of the greatest angels god ever gave me in life and i just let them slip away 💔

The emotions he can evoke with just a piano, his voice and lyrics. It's amazing how capable of a musician, an artist, he is. His songs really feel like they're pushing a story.

These days, I can feel myself slipping and there’s nothing I can do but watch my beautiful mind go. I feel sorry for myself. Sampha’s music makes me feel like I’m not alone. It keeps me going for a minute. I don’t know where I’m going but I want y’all to know that we’re gonna make it. I don’t wanna lose you now:)

[@thenoiserstudio3886]

This song reminds me of my beloved. We met on the internet, after 1 year dating long distance she moves to the city where I live. We stayed together for another 2 years, and then one day she and I felt kind of sad about how we felt, things got messy even though we love each other very much. Today she asked me for some time to organize her thoughts and feelings, and I'm doing the same. Part of me was mad about that, because I believe we could get through this together, because she's what matters most to me, but I don't judge her for choosing that. I'm a complicated person and so is she, despite loving her with all my might. This song reminds me of her, and I hope it's not the only memory I have of her, I hope that this time will do us good and that one day we'll come back, but all of this is very difficult for me. Edit: Well, we broke up. It hurts me like hell, but she moving on, i think i should too. But i will miss her, like every single day, there was nothing left to do, she choose the best for her, and i really hope the best for her, altough i think we could work this out together. Thats it then, i will need sometime to recover, but i will.
