I'm 92. I've enjoyed Opera all my life. You are very talented young man. I enjoyed listening to you so much I had my great grand daughter sign me up for this inter net web page for the first time. May God Bless you, He obviously has touched your voice. God Bless.
I loved your performance of this song so much that my friend and I used it in our end of term show at theatre school. As we are both guys it raised a few eye brows and lots of smiles as we danced a pas de Deux for two boys. We got a standing ovation and as my Dad said afterwards "what a hell of a way to come out".....I was horrified he was going to give me a bad time but he hugged me and said "it's going to be so cool being you" and I cried like a baby. Thanks for you brilliant voice Sam. X
It's great. I'm writing a novel, about a man who is gay in the 20's and is in love with another guy, but he does not know it (he's not gay), and it fits perfectly with this song!!
You have a beautiful, powerful and melodic, old-style Broadway voice. Yours is by far the best male cover on UA-cam of this gorgeous song. My sincere congratulations.
On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me His world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own
You are a revelation. Emotive and expressively well done. It feels more poignant rather than blurted. Even the climaxes feel like inner torment sang so well. Bravo.
Wow, that was truly amazing! I have lost count of how many times I have listened to this since I found it yesterday! I had never imagined a male singing this song... and when I saw the title, I was worried it might not work as well with a guy... but, I am very pleased to say that you have proved me wrong. I LOVE IT!!!
If gay people don't change the pronouns in love songs, why would straight people? If you can't do a cover without changing the lyrics - sing ANOTHER song. I love that Sam kept it real. Also, I don't watch the video, I just listen. It's devine that way!
@@macakucizmama831 You don't relate personally to a lot of song texts. I don't think anyone alive today can relate to being poor in 1800th's France during a revolution. Most girls who sing "I dreamed a dream" cannot relate to being a dying prostitute. It's called imagination. If you don't have it you can't sing and interpret songs at all.
What a sick voice! The note at 1:54 couldn't get any better. Sounds like you're crying when you sing. Loooooooooooooooove your tone -- so clear and pure. Can't wait to hear (and see) your other videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, Ive seen many versions of this and even the original performers didnt move me as much as this. The most sincere thanks for sharing your incredible talent
I loved hearing your version of the song. It's nice to see that people still respect the composers vision. I can really feel the emotion and its great :) keep it up
all sort of gods... thanks for letting me hear his song.. this is a blessing! Thank you Sam. You are one of the greatest SamS I used to know. Too mach love! Xxxx
And now I'm all alone again Nowhere to turn, no one to go to Without a home, without a friend Without a face to say "Hello" to But now the night is near And I can make-believe he's here Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me His world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own
Honestly Sam not only are you so amazingly talented at singing, but you put so much emotion In your covers and I love it. They seriously give me chills. So thank you. Thank you for sharing your gift with us and thank you for not just singing but singing from the heart. Thank you :)
I watched this video back in 2013 and I loved it, it encouraged me to sing this song and that performance was the best time I’ve ever sung haha I quit singing to became a professional dancer but I will never forget how this song made me feel on stage, thank you!
some people are just born to sing and your one of those people, your voice is beautiful. you have a real talent and it even made me cry how good you are, your amazing
ohwwww!! You are really amazing! Gave me goosebumps! You the an huge power on your voice and your expression! Made fan of you man! Kisses from Argentina.
Nice job! Your voice gave me chills ...I think I'm going to hit the replay button(: Thank you for linking this to one of my videos of someone's solo from our chorus concert! (Otherwise I proabably wouldn't have seen it.)
Sam, this is incredible. It made all my hair stand up! :') You have such a unique tone which can melt anything... this is awesome!! :D Glad you are doing what you love... You have talent! :))
I have always felt a certain disconnect with the cisgender het version if this song, and this version is the only one that has brought me to tears. It’s so powerful and real. Thank you so much for taking the courage to perform this. Thank you so many times.

fenwaypark999 are you still alive just curious:) 92 what an age
@@louischapman1209 Well aren't you a macob the whole thing?

I appreciate that you didnt change pronouns

Flip Hood
Rip everyone who had a horrible time coming out
There's just nothing about this story that isn't goddamn beautiful
this is very wholesome bro
Blink, damn you, BLINK!!!! Other than that, really well done :)
I wear contact lenses so don't tend to blink a lot! Thanks for watching :)
He blinked like 15-16x
Hahahaahhahahaha
OMG!!! I died. 😂
If you imagine this is Grantaire singing about Enjorlas, then you'll suffer like 10x more!!! ^_^
OMG STAHP
That's why I started looking for a male cover! :D
Ellie Taub NOOOOO 😭😭😭😭
OR A MALE EPONINE SINGING ABOUT MARIUS BECAUSE GAY PEOPLE RECEIVE THAT REJECTION EVERY SINGLE DAY
OMG STOP
HOW DARE
MY HEART-
It's great. I'm writing a novel, about a man who is gay in the 20's and is in love with another guy, but he does not know it (he's not gay), and it fits perfectly with this song!!
So how's the novel?
So the Great Gatsby?
How’s the novel?
Let us know when you are done with the Novel
The best male cover I ever heard.
Thank-you very much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
The sweetest song i heard from a male version.
Only issue I had with this is less eye contact with the camera, it makes it seem a little weird and forced, but that's it. Voice was wonderful
I love this song, from that musical.
I thought the same thing it seemed like he was planning a murder date
You have a beautiful, powerful and melodic, old-style Broadway voice. Yours is by far the best male cover on UA-cam of this gorgeous song. My sincere congratulations.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
You are a revelation. Emotive and expressively well done. It feels more poignant rather than blurted. Even the climaxes feel like inner torment sang so well.
Bravo.
His accent shines through his words, I LOVE IT!
what an outstanding singer and this is the best male cover
of this song i have heard
beautiful voice, and amazing control!! loved it.
The best performance I've ever heard.... congratulations for your good work! :D
Love it! Fantastic cover.
Incredible. I can not tell you how many times I have listened to this version
Wow, that was truly amazing! I have lost count of how many times I have listened to this since I found it yesterday!

Two thumbs up !

Because if you are str8 you can not relate with “I love him”

Samir C. Cat that is a fairly good argument, you left me speachless

i literally never would of expected a guy to cover this song. Fantastic
Stop staring at me... STOP STARING AT ME!!! (nice cover btw...)

I loved hearing your version of the song. It's nice to see that people still respect the composers vision. I can really feel the emotion and its great :) keep it up
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
One of the sickest versions out there! Your tone is totally, totally awesome. And your breath control is amazing. Thank you so much sharing!
Oh my goodness. That was outstanding! I started tearing up!
I always knew that a man should sing this wonderful song. Thank you, you are a great singer. Very moving video. ♥️
all sort of gods... thanks for letting me hear his song.. this is a blessing! Thank you Sam. You are one of the greatest SamS I used to know. Too mach love! Xxxx
tone is stunning and the context change is beautiful. subbed
Little tear came out, this is amazing
You're accent just makes this 50x more beautiful.
Your voice is needed on Broadway so badly!!! It's so effortless sounding...I am in love
I definitely had chills listening to this - simply beautiful cover. You have such a strong voice!
You are seriously so talented! I am absolutely in love with your voice, and this is the only male cover I've liked so far.
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend
Without a face to say "Hello" to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
Brought tears to my eyes -- bravo sir!
dear god in heaven this is going on my ipod like right now... what a beautiful voice!
