    Letters burning by my bed for you
    Hey now,
    Leave it to the wayside like you do,

    Imagination calling mirrors for you

      London Grammar are for me "the best band in the world in 2014" The debut album is not just one of the greatest début albums it is one of the great albums of any era. They are better than the Beatles' were at the same stage. Having said all that My favourite track of the decade is "the curse" by the divine Agnes Obel

    First time I ever heard London Grammar I was driving. This came on the radio and I had to pull over to listen. Her voice has a bizaar "emotional" quality, the likes of which I have never heard before. Just wish people would stop making comparisons with other vocalists... there's noone close.

    I keep coming back to this one. It's a more distilled and pure sound than the album version. No added effects - just smooth, haunting beauty. The voice of the guitar is almost as pretty as Hannah's and they're mixed in perfectly with that rich and buttery synth. Unreal. If anyone knows how I could find or buy an uncompressed version of this recording I'd be very grateful.

    I don't know how I missed them, but the 1st time I heard London Grammar was on the Disclosure compilation, it was Help Me Lose My Mind. I was hooked & curious about the group. I was totally gobsmacked when I saw the body of work on UA-cam & then I started listening. I am 60 yrs. young & I have been playing the Deep Journey (Remix Megamix) in my car for 2 weeks straight now. I feel blessed & lifted listening to them! If they ever play in the states at something that isn't Coachella-like, I will be there! Hannah Reid has the best voice I've ever heard & she has taken the top spot of all of my favorite singers, male & female.

    Listened to this 4 times in the last 24 hours and it will be more before the day is through! I am their new number one fan and will do all I can to let others know of this talented group.

    It's so nice to see the reaction of the woman of the radio even when she's used to receive good bands. This is not a fake emotion and the reaction of the band for the compliment : a sincere and humble smile . Rare and precious moment

    Too me she's like the perfect blend of Birdy, Florence Welch, and the lead singer from Heart, but also completely unique. Absolutely beautiful live performance.

    If I would've been the radio host I would've probably cried after hearing such performance right in front of me. This was amazing

    This isn't even remotely the type of thing I usually listen to, I first heard her voice in the arty remix of hey now. It drew me to actually look up the original. I've now listened to pretty much everything I can find by this group. The pure and raw emotion. This song has helped me tap into a feeling I didn't know I could feel. The whole group is amazing and I feel exceptionally lucky to have stumbled upon them. The 239 people who disliked this obviously don't have any heart.
