Tom Odell - I Knew You Were Trouble - BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge

Tom Odell performs his mystery cover, Taylor Swifts 'I Knew You Were Trouble in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. Part of a whole week of music from rising stars of 2013

[@KremIsis]

I'm scared. How is it possible there are people who do not recognize an artist like this? I do not mean like him, taste is subjective, but to admit something is good in itself is objective, it is not a question of taste. This guy is a monster. Not a popstar but a natural, genuine musicians. What kind of music people have been raised on, for god's sake...

[@yannngameni16]

Couldn't agree more.. Dudes a great pianist love his style! Reminds me of Elton John.

[@XimenaParraDOLHOS]

TOTTALLY WITH YOU! HE'S A TALENTED GUY.

[@DanishNerdess]

Ximena Parra His style reminds me of Jeff Buckley.

[@KremIsis]

***** me too. oh yes. you got it.

[@lex6819]

Yann Ngameni Yes, pop music needs more pianists in general, and TO is very good. Plus, he has very clean fingernails, which men should have if they possibly can. And a big schnoz (personal preference). I find nothing objectionable about TO.

[@pianystrom8137]

Tom Odell is just pure talent!

[@axelfragoso5532]

I agree

[@dnhk2655]

He just took this song to a whole other level. A deeper level.

[@user-fo7tc3lc1o]

Dnh K man shut up the song has always been this deep just because he stripped it down doesn’t make it deeper

[@ceciliaevans]

@@user-fo7tc3lc1o Why can't people express their own opinion without being criticized anymore? What makes you think your opinion is more correct?

[@MsSmiley357]

He always sings with so much emotions and passion. I love it

[@liamoliver6119]

I love you

[@mcc101010]

Taylor's version highlights the rage; this one focuses on the pain. He is almost crying...I love it.

[@TheSummerLoverJESS]

And that's how you do a Radio 1 Live Lounge! Fucking fantastic.

[@unoriginalname04]

Wow, I've developed a crush on Tom I think. The way he expresses himself through his music is beautiful

[@DenizKiziz]

This is sooo much more emotional than the original oh my god

[@writerintherye]

That happens when you give music soul.

[@MissPincess4]

The bearded, ginger guy playing the guitar and doing vocals in the check shirt is beautiful. Had to be said.

[@8791249]

He looks like Rick Edwards

[@Cameleeyah]

correction: he's playing the bass guitar

[@MissPincess4]

Cameleeyah oh right, thanks for keeping me straight

[@MissPincess4]

8791249 omg he does a bit!

[@supremepancakes4388]

we need to know his name!!!

[@anniemitchell1541]

still my favorite cover ever

[@edrichdutoit9439]

Don't have the words to describe how good this is!!!!!

[@isaribeiro1433]

man, YOU CAN FEEL IT

[@ivyhe4899]

He sings this song with his own style and it's so beautiful

[@Thekreepslayer]

Shout out to the high pitched ginger man!

[@charlykl6488]

#teamgoff haha! 😄

[@faicotone]

He looks like he's gonna start crying any minute. I love it.

[@jadeshepherd8627]

I'm a big fan of both Tom Odell and Taylor Swift. I love this version!

[@CL-yt8kc]

Love the original song but blown away by this one!

[@rachaelkadi8512]

best cover ive ever heard !! Tom i just love you !!

[@CatsEyes13]

love how he made that his own.

[@annsanchez9722]

no words to descrive this level of perfection.

[@wilfreddale764]

He made the lyrics come to life.

[@cugrngneer]

I like Taylor Swifts music when other artists perform her music their own way...Nothing personal. I'm just in another market. And I really like Tom Odell's version. But then again I really like Tom Odell.

[@frankietaylor173]

The melody of this track makes it such a fantastic cover - in particular the chorus, how he hangs the vocals when singing 'in' and 'been'. Tom Odell transforms the song into his own, but still manages to retain the power of the lyrics. I'd love to see what he could do with other pop songs... An album waiting to happen.

[@camilamarulanda2]

this is underaprecciated oh my gooooooooooddddd

[@mari-annbrask3296]

I haven't listened to anything else than Tom Odell's music in 3 years. He is my favorite artist as you can probably think because of listening to nothing else than Tom. I love him so much and his music is... Wow. I can't describe his music it's just beautiful like poetry but still so sad and cruel like life. Still, I come back to his music every single day. (Literally every day**) I love him **SO MUCH

[@HawaHawax]

Can I click "Love" button instead of "Like" button? Looooooove his music

[@LadyAlii]

My God. He can transform Swift's songs in awesome deep songs. Simply love him... the best!

[@BoondoggleKingdom]

I love thiss soo much. So much passion and love his facial expressions. His hair reminds me of Kurt Cobain 💙

[@imusic247]

never really liked this song .. until now.. omg its amazing

[@pennymikk]

his voice changed so much in the last 3 years, love you tom

[@TheGooxs]

THIS IS PURE PERFECTION WHY IS THIS APPEARING IN MY TIMELINE TWO YEARS LATER

[@EdelGarstad]

I think a lot of people tend to forget that a great cover is also a testament to great song writing. Taylor wrote an incredible song, Tom rendered it beautifully.

[@RandomChocolate008]

Love seeing the different artist styles *-*

[@simbarashezishiri1367]

I heard an American artist called Taylor swift covered this song

[@annechrystie__1473]

she don't cover it she is the original singer

[@VampireDiariesLove14]

+Anne Chrystie Petang It was meant as a joke. x)

[@annechrystie__1473]

Ho sorry i didn't understand ^-^

[@awangliau3922]

actually she's the singer -_-

+Awang Liau Goodjob You've been trolled

[@1952teapot]

Tom Odell's performance tears at my heart and soul!!

[@ingridfinkbeiner5387]

Emotions with a wonderful voice

[@GabrielFagundesAB]

the fact he didn't chage the "HE"s to "SHE"s made my night

[@caiojunqueira9381]

I tought the same

[@bennaerz]

its really amazing

[@farhanm2508]

RIGHT

[@joanaramos1000]

this is so beautiful

[@celinevanbenten]

He sings it with so much emotion and passion and that is what makes this such a memorable cover. i just keep clicking on it every once in a while.

[@lemonades2858]

Every single Tom's cover is perfection! How that can be possible?

[@alaskasadness4339]

I felt in love with "ch.. ch.. trouble"

[@rikkehawkins1942]

Cant believe i met this guy 2 days ago

[@hannahorendi1410]

Omg, I met him like a couple weeks ago and he was so lovely and I actually brought up the courage to ask him for a hug and it was one of the best days of my life so far

[@fidanzeynalli4402]

it’s pure talent, i like the effort he puts in every cover, the emotions behind this and how he provokes goosebumps with his voice, just wow

[@lucycoppard2509]

So proud he's from my town! Sounds like a different song

[@Stroopwafelbae]

The way he sings this. He has a unique voice. Oh my goodness ♡♡♡ he gives me goosebumps.

[@nigel4072]

I think Tom delivered us the REAL PAIN that Taylor went through that time with this cover. Haha

[@sientwa6102]

True😂👍👍

[@runawaylight4421]

most beautiful recorded-song in the world

[@juliadolezalkova6429]

I didn't really believe something could be done to save that song ... and then Tom came. Perfect.

[@danbarlow6880]

I always see Kurt Cobain in toms hair and face

[@anayanez2526]

Agree with that

[@cestlavi]

+Dan Barlow oh. my. god. this is true why did i never see it

ohh i can't stop loving u

[@XimenaParraDOLHOS]

I hear it 8 months ago and I still loving it like the first time.

How stupid are you I mean the song isn't even out that long

[@XimenaParraDOLHOS]

It was out on June 22, and I say I hear it on April, stupids...

[@minhphinguyen7055]

OMG.....I love Taylor, I'm her fan but they did the best with this song...Fall in love with this version

[@sabina5438]

This is my 50th time listening to this song today and I will never get tired of this. He's a musical freaking beast. TOM, IF YOUR READING THIS... GOD I FREAKING LOVED THIS COVER. this is music... that makes you feel something. No disrespect to Taylor Swift or anyone. How did I just find this cover? How? 😍😍😍😍😍

[@phantom_fox5637]

Soothes me to my very core listening to this! Literally makes everything feel everything and nothing! Tom Odell u owned it!!!! 😍

[@daydreaming11117]

i love when they TRANSFORM.

[@ginnalozano4656]

pfff!! way better than the original. It sounds completely different and great.

[@MoominJeno]

Cue deep breathes @ the chorus. So deep

[@maroi21]

This is amazing! I love the way his voice sounds, it's so real and authentic

[@poppies1118]

Makes you realise how good a songwriter Taylor is

amazing!

I love this song but with tom voice it's just AMAZING ♡.♡

[@milllaamayy6925]

Tom took this song to a whole new level i'm amazed n surprised how can this amazing guy be so goddamn talented? This is just too deep and emotional even tho it is not his own song but i feel like he should do this kind of music. i would totally die cuz that'd be the damn heaven

[@bsp8652]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@catsadilla324]

This is the song that plays at the end of the episode when the hero finally walks away from the thing that's been holding him/her back all this time, and it's now on fire, and it's burning in slow mo.

[@heeeyitsfiona]

amazing how every artist interpretates songs!

[@rosalydanna4179]

Way better than the original. Tom Odell is perfection.

[@rosalydanna4179]

?

[@rosalydanna4179]

Oh okay

[@rosalydanna4179]

I don't think we do. My first language is not English and the people I know doesn't talk or write in english, so I don't think we know each other.

[@nidccfff8332]

i agree!

[@SumritChamber]

Actually, his voice is flawed. You can clearly notice that throughout the song. BUT that differentiates him from other artists. Once you learn to wear you flaws on your shoulders this beautifully, it takes you emotionally to a higher place. I wouldn't want a 'polished', 'pitch perfect' studio version from him. The way he uniquely sings his songs makes it more believable. This is an old cover but in present/2018, it's so amazing to know that he's still actively making music but his voice has changed so much in a good way. Now his voice is mellow and mature. One of the rare gems!

[@elizabethgrant6018]

This man is fucking phenomenon.

[@edwardwilliam8088]

tom odell is amazing, his facial expressions when he sings are the best, he really feels it :)

I don't like taylor swift, don't like this song, but this is just...awsome. Shows how good a musician you are, when you cove someone else's song better than the original. Tom odell is a pure talent , this is just the beginning ...
