You don't have to make a big video, with big actors, and probs. Just this. Passion, emotion, love and him. It makes him so unique from others, not just how the video is set up but him as a person and his music.
I was 18 when this song came out, my best friend had just moved away to university and I remember sitting on the train on the way up to see her listening to it. For some reason it really resonated with me, I was hyper aware of what being a teenager meant and how fragile a time it is and how important a time it is. I remember grieving for my teenage years, even though I was still a teenager. I knew I didn't have long left, everyone was moving away to university, saying goodbye to all of the great times we had had. There's something fundamentally heartbreaking about being a teenager. It's one of those things that adults tell you, "these are the best times of your life" and you never believe them but in retrospect they really are. God, I'm only 22 and acting as if life is over...
God has His plan all mapped out for you, you're going to be okay. Putting your faith in God over your minds overthinking will eventually eat you up. You'll be okay ❤️
This is so beautiful,.. the entire 'long way down' album is just such an emotional roller-coaster that leaves you wanting. His style is classic and so pure. This is music. Thanks Odell.
Tom Odell, if you ever see this. I would like you too know that you are a wonderful singer and I hope you continue to make music for as long as you can. I would also like you to know that I'm grateful for your music, it has picked me off my feet many times. Thank you for what you have done.
Both a very sweet and honest comment. I do that each time I listen to my most favourite female performer, write a comment under every video of hers, almost believing she'll never read it, but doing it nonetheless.
There are some videos you can't stop watching... This is one. I want to see this fella so I can stare at him in bewilderment at how incredibly good this song is.
to the people complaining about those who came due to Dodies recommendation of saying it's "sad", what exactly is sad about it? All of these people are introduced to a truly amazing artist, myself included, who they otherwise never would have come across. I'm not sure how big of an artist he is, but where I come from I'd previously never heard of him, or any of his music at all. But listening to this song his style is unique and beautiful and I truly love it, just as all those who comment that they came here due to Dodie did, and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to be introduced to such an amazing artist. You should be happy that his fan base is growing and he is becoming known to a wider audience, so more people can enjoy the immense talent he possesses :)
Well said my friend, Thomas Peter Odell from Chichester, West Sussex, England. He has been active since 2012 - present, according to Wiki. A true artist !
Hard to know Maybe if I skim the stone Walk a different way back home It would all make sense. Oh, shut my eyes Lose myself in teenage lies If I fell in love a thousand times Would it all make sense? Cause I I've been feeling pretty small Sometimes Feel like I'm slipping down walls And every line I ever get a hold It seems to break. Ca-Call you up I can tell you just how much No, no maybe I'll just get drunk And it will all make sense. Or if I weren't so nice Convince my friends that you won't write I can promise you my heart don't cry Would it all make sense? Cause I I've been feeling pretty small Sometimes Feel like I'm slipping down walls And every line I ever get a hold It seems to break. Oh I I've been feeling pretty small Sometimes Feel like I'm slipping down walls And every line I ever get a hold It seems to break.
Wonderful...i love all your songs so much Tom. It's crazy that 11 years after this work of art, you're still making good music. I was never disappointed. I love each of your albums. I came to the concert at the Zénith in Paris at the beginning of the month and I still can't get over it. It’s the kind of gig you come out of and you’re not the same person. You think about it, you look again at the photos you took, and you only have one thought in mind: when will the next time be I see Tom Odell in concert? So, I took a place for the Palmarosa festival in Montpellier, just to know that I still have a reason to live until August, aha. I have to thank you for helping me every day. At the moment life is a little hard and fortunately your music is there to comfort me. She makes me feel at home wherever I am. I need this because I don't really know where home is. Thanks to you, it's almost everywhere. As soon as I feel like I'm wavering during the day, that I'm stressed, that I'm going to have an anxiety attack, that I just want to run away, I put on my headphones and I listen to you. It calms me down. I also listen to you in the evening to fall asleep, you really help me overcome my sleep problems. It's precious. I was on vacation, and this evening I have to leave my small childhood town and return to Paris, where I am studying. I'm terrified because I have important exams and I feel like I'm at the end of my rope and I have school phobia. I know I'm going to screw it up. Above all, I don't like finding myself alone, in my tiny Parisian apartment, in this big city where there aren't the people I love. Fortunately, there will be your music to comfort me. I have so much more to say but I'm going to stop there....anyway I know you'll never read all of that. Yet I still needed to say it. Thanks Tom 🖤 . Please never stop the music.
It's seems like they recorded Tom singing it right there while they filmed, not lip syncing like everyone usually does. So perfect, from the breaths he had to take to the sound of the piano bench
thank you Mr. Odell. You really help out in my daily life. Music without you wouldnt be the same. Stay sane and keep doing. We adore you, my dear brother.
My favorite. Just. He feels and you can sEE the piano playing him. The music is inside of him. Eating away at his skin by the end of the song he can't finish it with his own voice so he just pLAYS. THE MUSIC. PLAYS, HIM. This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
"I've been feeling pretty small. sometimes feels like I'm slipping down walls." this part is so easy to relate to because we try so hard in maybe not everything we do, but in something we love. but sometimes it's not enough and we go back to feeling useless. I guess that's what makes us break little by little. we're so caught up in our lives, but in an instant we start to have these insecure thought, and this makes us feel smaller and smaller until we give up.
I love the emotional effort he puts into his music, as though he truly feels what he's singing about and it's hurting him to say it out loud. Awesome performer.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love the studio version of this song, but I always end up coming back here to watch and listen to this live version(?, because you can see his passion and feel his emotions, and I'm just addicted to self destruction so I want to feel the pain and passion I feel with this song. And I'm just obsessed with this video.
i love how this whole music video and song are so raw. i mean, you can hear emotion in every single note he sings. his voice cracks seem to show how real his feelings are and how he deeply believes the words he's saying. and on top of that, the chair creaking sound in the background. overwhelming is the word, if there's even a word to describe this
I literally cry every single time I listen to this! This song is incredible and it always amazes me how vulnerable and honest he is when he's signing, it's as if he's baring his heart to us, I absolutely love him!
During this song I didn't move at all it's so beautiful! And +TomOdell if you sang this wen u came to Manchester on ur tour it would mean the world to me!!❤️
Sometimes I ´m thinking about how can he just not cry in every clips, because he make make me cry so hard, and how can he not do that with these million emotions...
My dog passed away and I dedicated him this song, it was in 2014 and now it's 2019 and I still thinking about him. It was my first and last dog, all the love for u my baby tobías ❤️ I still missing you
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music
Tom, This quarantine has made me discover the masterpieces that you have sung, and they have latched on to my heart. It's really beautiful how you sing and the emotion you put in to your voice that gives me a different vision that the song is just not a beautiful melody it's a heartfelt story. You're one of the best artists I have listened to, no doubt. I wish you long success. Sincerely, Your loving fan, Mahnoor.
this dude though... he is just honestly amazing. his songs make me feel what no other artists music does. his songs are so raw and real and are just flooding with emotion and he is truly an amazing and real artist. im just gobsmacked.. he is just to great for words.
Tom you are sooo amazing. I am a massive fan of yours. I never get tired of listening to all his music. Every he sings I can tell he really means it!!! Love this song
I've been listening Tom for more than 5 years, and no matter what, his musics always fits perfectly in every moment of my life, even in the deepest ones. The thing is that this one could be related to anything is happening to you. "Cause i've been feeling pretty small" This phrase is emotionally correct in everthing, it just fits perfect even if you are having a good moment in your life, cause there is always something that remind us how small we are, but that doesnt has to be bad, is part of life trying to understand what we are, or how we are, and in the process you can feel a little bit lost or small, but at the end, when everything comes to "normal" you always had that question on your mind. It all had sense?. I'm such in love with his music, i'm such in love in the way he transmits his feelings, his thoughs, in a magic way. The music.
Listening to Tom's songs for the first in a long time... and i don't know what to say. This one, it's like he just sang straight into my heart, I never felt like this before. I feel so connected right now.
You don't have to make a big video, with big actors, and probs. Just this. Passion, emotion, love and him. It makes him so unique from others, not just how the video is set up but him as a person and his music.
agree with ya
Pia Mayer You're so right. He's amazing. I love the way he feels.

Totally!

Do you ever just wish all guys were like Tom Odell
OF COURSE
Oh do shut up. You probably just date douchebags. Not to mention you don't have a clue how Tom Odell really is....
Julia Norman Only every second of every day >.
***** Your statement can be summed up in a single word.. Gross.
***** You got it x

Nathan Crofton-Bond well hello again. Remember me?
Exactly like how I’m feeling
It's totally how i feel no with 21 yo, totally relatable
God has His plan all mapped out for you, you're going to be okay. Putting your faith in God over your minds overthinking will eventually eat you up. You'll be okay
❤️
grieving teenager years, while still a teenager. I felt that and I know i will regret it once i grow older
look at him how he feels the music
He got a good vidoe production company behind him. This is just good acting.
How do you know? I hope that he's not acting 'cause there is decreasingly people who feel music this way :)
+Windmax you cannot act that ☺
Only idiots think like that.. sorry.
Maybe wehen someone is not native speaker you just shut up and tell me one real argument? :)
He always sings with so much passion and so many feelings. I am in love with his voice and songs. Just amazing. So perfect!
I am in love
***** Me too.
ikr

Hi Tom, your voice is gold and I am currently a puddle of tears.
Hi Dodie, thank you for introducing me to this song. Lots of love.
Every. Single. Day
His voice is literally like when you get soft kisses on the back of your neck. So smooth, careful, and just beautiful.
Your comment is just perfectly true
i couldn't have said that better. *sorry for my english*
So true
Your comment made me cry a little on the inside
You are my new favorite person
3:36 is when he really becomes one with the piano. Incredible.
Yes!
This is so beautiful,.. the entire 'long way down' album is just such an emotional roller-coaster that leaves you wanting. His style is classic and so pure. This is music. Thanks Odell.
definitely one of my favorite albums of all time and i love a lot of music
Come and listen again
Tom Odell, if you ever see this. I would like you too know that you are a wonderful singer and I hope you continue to make music for as long as you can. I would also like you to know that I'm grateful for your music, it has picked me off my feet many times. Thank you for what you have done.
I can't agree with you more, Raina.
sure
Both a very sweet and honest comment. I do that each time I listen to my most favourite female performer, write a comment under every video of hers, almost believing she'll never read it, but doing it nonetheless.
😔
thank you ❤️ .. there might just be some new music again for you soon...
Such a beautiful, emotional singer-songwriter. I miss seeing that in an artist. To be so vulnerable and open. Its a gift.
Love from Coimbatore 💚💚💚
tom’s new album, monsters, is out now! tomodell.lnk.to/monsters - tom odell hq
Omg yayyyyy!
Wishing you a beautiful day and lots of butterflies :)
nobody knows how beautiful is this
oh gosh
i know
Yes, I know :')
Arthur Mizell I guess that's the magic about music, when a song seems to talk about you
I know
We know. We fans know that. I hope that is enough for him ♥
There are some videos you can't stop watching... This is one. I want to see this fella so I can stare at him in bewilderment at how incredibly good this song is.
I've literally listened to this song 10 times today
to the people complaining about those who came due to Dodies recommendation of saying it's "sad", what exactly is sad about it? All of these people are introduced to a truly amazing artist, myself included, who they otherwise never would have come across. I'm not sure how big of an artist he is, but where I come from I'd previously never heard of him, or any of his music at all.

I've never cried due to a performance until this very video. Thank you Tom. ❤
Tony's Pizza same same
Hard to know
Maybe if I skim the stone
Walk a different way back home
It would all make sense.
Oh, shut my eyes
Lose myself in teenage lies
If I fell in love a thousand times
Would it all make sense?
Cause I
I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes
Feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line
I ever get a hold
It seems to break.
Ca-Call you up
I can tell you just how much
No, no maybe I'll just get drunk
And it will all make sense.
Or if I weren't so nice
Convince my friends that you won't write
I can promise you my heart don't cry
Would it all make sense?
Cause I
I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes
Feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line
I ever get a hold
It seems to break.
Oh I
I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes
Feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line
I ever get a hold
It seems to break.

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
i cry to this every night
yeah
+Eryn Lilly i just love this song ;)
+Elliot IsNotOnFire yes
Me too, man
I'm crying now
Just got a tattoo of this song. Your music saved me. Thank you so much Tom.
11-2-2024. Am 76, and remarkably still standing. And just a year ago discovered this unique talent. 😅
He seems really in pain everytime he sings this song and this just breaks my heart. What a pure soul.
"I've been feeling pretty small. sometimes feels like I'm slipping down walls." this part is so easy to relate to because we try so hard in maybe not everything we do, but in something we love. but sometimes it's not enough and we go back to feeling useless.

we lose ourselves
:_(
Your album is so important to me, Tom.
Thank you for everything.
I love the emotional effort he puts into his music, as though he truly feels what he's singing about and it's hurting him to say it out loud. Awesome performer.
thank you dodie for sending me to this beautiful song
11 years later and I still get emotional when I hear this masterpiece 🥹✨
I mean don't get me wrong, I love the studio version of this song, but I always end up coming back here to watch and listen to this live version(?, because you can see his passion and feel his emotions, and I'm just addicted to self destruction so I want to feel the pain and passion I feel with this song. And I'm just obsessed with this video.
This lad has a classic and timeless style-Finally someone who can sing-play and feel the music, in a raw and interesting way.
With young artists like Tom Odell and Jake Bugg, England is blessed. Music is their best export...
came here from Dodie. I thank her so much. I'm 25 secs into the song and idk what happened but I'm in tears
after listening tom odell songs i can definetly say that today music is not real music, its just lyrics with beats. Music is what tom odell does.
i love how this whole music video and song are so raw. i mean, you can hear emotion in every single note he sings. his voice cracks seem to show how real his feelings are and how he deeply believes the words he's saying. and on top of that, the chair creaking sound in the background. overwhelming is the word, if there's even a word to describe this
Why he's so perfect
this guy breathes for music
He makes love with the piano
look. At. His. Face. His expressions means everything, that's passion, guys, that's talent..
I literally cry every single time I listen to this! This song is incredible and it always amazes me how vulnerable and honest he is when he's signing, it's as if he's baring his heart to us, I absolutely love him!
i love how he puts EVERYTHING into his performance-you can tell he lives for music
i've watched this video since 2016 and i can't get over it. it's just perfect. i'm glad i found Tom's music.
damn.. he deserves more views, his music is amazing! :)
During this song I didn't move at all it's so beautiful! And +TomOdell if you sang this wen u came to Manchester on ur tour it would mean the world to me!!❤️
Who the hell broke his soul.
His broken voice making me cry while I am alone forever.😣
Songs get pushed to the bottom of the playlist, then when they eventually get played after so long you realise why you added it. Love this song
Rarely are born artists of this magnitude, Tom transmits more than it should is so sublime !!!
the way this man can bring me to tears is insanity.
I'm here because Tom Odell is awesome.
Came because of Dodie
Stayed for the amazing song
Returned for the amazing song
Left for more of Tom
Bought album because of more Tom
It's so beautiful it hurts.
this song is beautiful. the chord sequence, lyrics and vocals work together so harmoniously and everything just fits in such a gorgeous, unique way.
Sometimes I ´m thinking about how can he just not cry in every clips, because he make make me cry so hard, and how can he not do that with these million emotions...
Its 3 in the morning and i'm blaring Tom's songs
I can proudly say I love this man , he’s incredibly talented
This songs helps me calm down when I'm having a panic attack. It's so important.
Thanks, Tom. I know where to go when I feel anxious. Thanks.
My dog passed away and I dedicated him this song, it was in 2014 and now it's 2019 and I still thinking about him. It was my first and last dog, all the love for u my baby tobías ❤️ I still missing you

When you really try to forget someone and you finish at tom Odell's songs 😞
Me all the time
😭
I am here, more than 11 years later.
And Today, this guy is one of the best singers of all time.
:( Listening to this song makes me remember my childhood memories of playing with friends and having fun, but now it's just a memory. 😢😢😢
Right after the concert in Warsaw. Coming back to this song and last few hours and bursting in tears. Thank you for your music.
When I listen to this beautiful human. I begin to remember how alone I really am and just think about my life choices.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music
Just can't get this song off my mind. So exquisite, painful, lovely. Tom...thank you.
This song is really depressing in the best way possible
Ich liebe es, diese Leidenschaft, die Leiden schafft... So gefühlvoll, dass es mich innerlich zerreißt... Danke
Pure pain. Pure love. Pure emotion.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
Still listening to this ❤
HOLY HELL!
IS HE ON THE RIGHT PLANET?!
Are you?
This is the first song I ever heard from Tom, so great! Gives me all the feels. Amazing songwriting.
By far, the best video song of Tom singing through his pain while holding it all together. Authentic feelings are well captured here.
Wow...Very emotional...Got goosebumps
Tom,
This quarantine has made me discover the masterpieces that you have sung, and they have latched on to my heart. It's really beautiful how you sing and the emotion you put in to your voice that gives me a different vision that the song is just not a beautiful melody it's a heartfelt story. You're one of the best artists I have listened to, no doubt. I wish you long success.
Sincerely,
Your loving fan,
Mahnoor.
this dude though... he is just honestly amazing. his songs make me feel what no other artists music does. his songs are so raw and real and are just flooding with emotion and he is truly an amazing and real artist. im just gobsmacked.. he is just to great for words.
Man... It's amazing to see what one man can do with a piano. Every time I feel a certain way I revisit this. It's my refuge.
I'm literally crying. This is so beautiful.
In my opinion, this guy is incredibly talented.....
Every time I hear him sing I fall in love
Hypnotising. Magical and heartwrenching. Pure music from his soul. Rare. Forever it will live. Tom Odell, is a star. Rare in this day and age...
This is the only song that has made me cry for years
his voice is unexplainable and astonishing, when i first heard this song i was blown away.
Tom you are sooo amazing. I am a massive fan of yours. I never get tired of listening to all his music. Every he sings I can tell he really means it!!! Love this song
This should honestly get more views actually all of his songs. people are missing out on alot.
When he started crying oh my god. His voice does something to me. This is raw emotion. Beautiful.
this is one of my favorites music in life, it has helped me go through hard times and it's so beautiful, thank you Tom.
I LOVE THIS MAN
Laura Araya me too 💙💚❤
I literally cried while listening this song for the first time.
Amen Yuun same
I've been listening Tom for more than 5 years, and no matter what, his musics always fits perfectly in every moment of my life, even in the deepest ones. The thing is that this one could be related to anything is happening to you. "Cause i've been feeling pretty small" This phrase is emotionally correct in everthing, it just fits perfect even if you are having a good moment in your life, cause there is always something that remind us how small we are, but that doesnt has to be bad, is part of life trying to understand what we are, or how we are, and in the process you can feel a little bit lost or small, but at the end, when everything comes to "normal" you always had that question on your mind. It all had sense?. I'm such in love with his music, i'm such in love in the way he transmits his feelings, his thoughs, in a magic way. The music.
Tom Odell is the king of music. The lyrics are incredible, also the melody, of course. His wonderful voice completes it all.
Listening to Tom's songs for the first in a long time... and i don't know what to say. This one, it's like he just sang straight into my heart, I never felt like this before. I feel so connected right now.
Same
My love for Tom Odell sent me here
Tom, I've just listen you first time.
You have my heart in just 30 seconds.
Beautiful, so much emotions in one song
He is like a modern John Lennon, he is sooo into his music, the colour of his voice and how expressive he is, I want him to get some recognition.
