Putting this out there for the people that keep comparing this to the original. Sam Smith is top tier wether his singing is to your taste or not. If he had tried to replicate Sam fenders way of singing you would of bashed him for that too. Any Sam fender fans here, do you realise that he covered a Sam Smith song not long back (clearly meaning he's a fan) also he did it how he sings, he didn't try to copy Sam smiths way of singing. Just because an artist isn't to your taste doesn't mean it's bad. And any musicians songs when it's their original is always gonna be better because it's theirs. Just let people sing, if you had to comment your distaste you clearly watched the whole thing to even have an opinion in the first place. This is a live lounge account. *eye roll*
I remember the sickness was forever I remember snuff videos Cold septembers The distances we covered The fist fights on the beach The bizzies round us up Do it all again next week Embryonic love The first time that it scarred Embarrass yourself for someone Crying like a child And the boy who kicked Tom's head in Still bugs me now That's the thing it lingers And claws you when you're down I was far too scared to hit him But I would hit him in a heartbeat now That's the thing with anger It begs to stick around So it can fleece you of your beauty And leave you spent with nowt to offer It makes you hurt the ones who love you You hurt them like they're nothing You hurt them like they're nothing See I spent my teens enraged Spiraling in silence And I armed myself with a grin 'Cause I was always a fuckin' joker Buried in their humour Amongst the white noise and boys' boys Locker room talkin' lads' lads Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags A mirrored picture of my old man Oh God the kid's a dab hand Canny chanter, but he looks sad God, the kid looks so sad She said the debt, the debt, the debt So I thought about shifting gear And how she wept and wept and wept Luck came and died round here I see my mother The DWP see a number She cries on the floor encumbered I'm seventeen going under I'm seventeen going under I'm seventeen going under I'm seventeen going under
Would love to hear Paolo Nuttini do this. His voice would give this a real edge the story needs. Though I like this version and Sam Smith does some interesting things with his voice on some of the lyrics, it’s just too smooth for me.
@@stevecoulthard8060I think what he means though is that his lyrics have a maturity beyond his age. Most lyricists would need to be much older to write lyrics of this caliber
There are these beautiful strokes of Bel Canto in this song, taking the song from one Sam and making it another's. An old, never tiring Folk tradition of taking songs and carrying them to different places. Beautiful
The original is such an incredibele composition and lyrical journeý that an awesome adaption like this just adds another AMAZING DIMENSION.the song deserves it,thumbs up!!!
Omg !!! wow !!! #SamSmith done a brilliant job covering this song!.. I haven't stop watching/listening to it since the video appeared ... As always phenomenal performance #SamSmith 👏 👍 #LuvYou ♥
I know Sam Fender is taking a really important break but I’m sure he’ll see this cover and appreciate it as much as we do. Love you Sam & Sam; both incredibly talented and thoughtful humans. Take care of yourselves. ❤️
A song explicitly about working class struggle being sung by someone who is really... not. The context really matters to this song and this cover sounds hollow and cheap. Sam Smith cannot relate to these experiences at all.
@Dermot McKee "I feel you on this" I have it on repeat the first I heard it "I applaud #SamSmith for doing an amazingly phenomenal performance covering this song" they've nailed it!!! As always great performance #SamSmith 👏 🙌 👌 😍

Honestly Sam Fender sings it with more raw emotion and raw vocal and this is too pop-y for me. But respect for recognizing a good song and singing it well.
Because Sam Fender is genuine when he sings about his struggles and how his mum was rejected by the DWP for welfare benefits. Sam Smith’s mother is a wealthy city banker.
@@cstiles1579 I agree completely. There's no way of doing original song justice if a singer doesn't resonate with it and/or is able to interpret it in their own way.
Please take a minute to listen to this song, it was recorded on a phone, set up on a barstool. Really cool sound. 3 peice from canada ua-cam.com/video/ebwbBJTmpRg/v-deo.html
Yessss !!! This is a verrrry big song to cover, but #SamSmith did an amazing version of it "Making it their own" 💯 As always great performance Sam 👏 👍👌
Then you don’t understand the meaning of the song. Sam Smith is middle-class, their mum is a banker and they grew up in Cambridgeshire. They were crying in their mansion during lockdown.
Smith smashes this cover but it could never compete with the original. Fender is one of the greatest songwriters we’ve had in the charts for a long time
The way that piano fades back in at 2:19. Absolutely beautiful, takes a whole team to make beautiful music. Love this 💜
Hell ya
Love that a fem years ago Sam fender covered Sam smith in the live lounge and now it’s the other way around❤ absolutely love that
I absolutely love Sam Smith's voice, and I absolutely love Sam Fender's storytelling. Both Sams rock. Great cover
He is nowhere near sam fender
One is a nonce and he's not from Newcastle
This is such a huge compliment for Sam, this is a gorgeous cover of simply a fantastic song.
It’s an insult
@@cstiles1579 why the hell would it be an insult
Which Sam?
@@mylesthered3614 Butchered a great song and made the meaning meaningless
This isn't a bad cover.... Can't match the original... But he did a great job regardless
This song can't be done justice by anyone else other than The Fend.
Agree .. this bloke tries but it’s Sam Fenders, and can’t be anyone else’s ..
It’s worth it for the attention and new fans. Especially if this gets USA coverage.

I remember the sickness was forever
I remember snuff videos
Cold septembers
The distances we covered
The fist fights on the beach
The bizzies round us up
Do it all again next week
Embryonic love
The first time that it scarred
Embarrass yourself for someone
Crying like a child
And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still bugs me now
That's the thing it lingers
And claws you when you're down
I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
That's the thing with anger
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
It makes you hurt the ones who love you
You hurt them like they're nothing
You hurt them like they're nothing
See I spent my teens enraged
Spiraling in silence
And I armed myself with a grin
'Cause I was always a fuckin' joker
Buried in their humour
Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
Locker room talkin' lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God the kid's a dab hand
Canny chanter, but he looks sad
God, the kid looks so sad
She said the debt, the debt, the debt
So I thought about shifting gear
And how she wept and wept and wept
Luck came and died round here
I see my mother
The DWP see a number
She cries on the floor encumbered
I'm seventeen going under
I'm seventeen going under
I'm seventeen going under
I'm seventeen going under

Oh god, Paolo covering a Sam Fender song would end me (in the best possible way)!
OMG YES
Honestly I‘ve always felt that Sam could do an amazing cover of iron sky
And he’s to up beat all of fenders songs are meant to be a dark gritty look at life in the north of England
I hate Paolo nutini he's horrific
Sam fender has lyrics beyond his years. Amazing cover
Sam Fender's lyrics literally are of his years, listen again and you'll get it

I was wondering who would end up covering this! I bet Fender will be stoked hahah
A mash up of the top artists. Absolutely love it. ❤️

Fair play he sings probably the greatest record of last 10 years with a lot of passion and soul so good on him
hes not a he, hes a they, how dare you!!

Great song, amazing singer and pianist !

Stunning, perfect pitch too 😍

I keep coming back to this again and again. The original and this version are both so so so so good
That was fab, but I still sang along with a Geordie accent. Gotta love Sam Fender xx

very well sung! both versions are great!
