This is the best version of one of if not my ultimate favorite song. Normally I prefer the controlled studio environment that allows us to isolate sounds but once in a while live will blow me away. Hannah and the boys were on point, and whoever sets up the sound for that Italian show is a legit pro and deserves a heap of the credit.
The best thing about this is the contrast between the presenter who sounds like she smokes 60 Benson & Hedges every day and the purity of the singer's voice.
This live performance is out of this world. The band is always great, her talent is always amazing, and this song is always beautiful, but there is just something special about this performance that makes me listen to it over and over and over, almost crying. It's perfect. Better than all the other versions. Her voice just blows you away. She looks like a model, too. Doesn't matter, though. Just close your eyes and escape the madness of this world. Thank you, Hannah Reid and London Grammar, you're a gift to this world.
You know, this made me think that there must be a kind of weird, if fleeting, collective realisation in that room when a band performs like that, in that kind of environment - for a few minutes afterwards, the wannabe popstrels, the audience, and the judges must really have a clear sense of how absurd these programmes are, when they are interrupted by the presence of serious talent, the kind that makes people stop what they're doing and be transfixed (as I was). This kind of power, arrangement, delicacy, and sheer musical heft simply cannot be manufactured, and will always find its audience without artificial help. Just brilliant.
My 20 plus years service to King and Country provided a chance to hear many forms of music in more then a few lands. Some were precious respites from blistering hot sand or freezing ice in the Velds of Cold war Europe. Music soothes the brain form the savages of war and the aftermath of disaster! There has NEVER been such hauntingly Ethereal and melodic perfection from the perfect pitch Mezzo-Soprano voice of Hannah Reid! The musical composition of Dan Rothman and Dominic 'Dot' Major is beyond a simple accompanying role. It is the Trio that makes writes and performs such musical manna from heaven. Cheers.
I feel the same. I can’t believe they are that good. Hannah is in a league of her own. Just an amazing young woman. And to think this is live in front of an audience............
I think this is the best vocal performance I’ve seen by Hannah Reid. LG what an incredible talent! Love them, and can’t believe they have any thumbs down… what’s that all about?
and what a comparison with the voice of the host haha :). anyway you gonna like these ones as well: ua-cam.com/video/on1QEcz1sTI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/9-w02IwjtEU/v-deo.html
When Hannah is struggling to sing at her obviously un-earthly level of excellence you can see the pain in her face (see other live recordings), she doesn't hide it well. That's why it was so nice to see at 3:57 her smile with an almost cheeky grin, like yeah I know I just blew everyone out of their seats.
just absolutely smashing it out of the park! What an amazing performance. Hannah has the voice of an angel and everyone who followed them must have felt completely humbled and outclassed.
Daughter had to tour the US 2 times before gaining a major following. London Grammar toured part of the US and cancelled the rest of their tour after releasing their first album. I have only witnessed their live performances when visiting the UK. It is an amazing experience. It is probably for the best since some producer has not tried to change their sound to appeal to a more American audience like what happened to Chvrches.
I think that the producers, of the talent show, messed up big time when booking this small, unknown British band. Absolutely love the faces of the contestants, I'm sure they're all thinking "its time to go back to my day job" "this woman has real talent, something I can never achieve"
Beautiful song from an incredibly beautiful young lady...................oh and also, does anyone else think the host sounds like an Italian Marge Simpson?
Despite possessing movie star beauty, Hannah Reid never allows her looks to detract from her voice. She never forces her audience to choose between their eyes and their ears when she sings, choosing, more confidently, to rest the burden of success as a performer on her golden vocal cords, instead of her golden hair, and allowing her fans to fall in love with her talent without requiring them to fall in love, first, with her beauty. While she could succeed on looks alone, as many other, less gifted vocalists have before her, instead, she chooses to appreciate her fan's taste in good music, making it, not her cheekbones, the real star of the stage. This, in addition to her stunning vocals, is what sets her apart from so many other artists and makes her likely a voice we will listen to for many years to come.
I've noticed that. I think she suffers from stagefright too. Although the guitarist and drummer could easily be replaced with session guys, I love the way London Grammar hold themselves together and don't allow that shit to happen, especially of course Hannah. Apart from her obvious brilliance as a singer, I really respect Hannah for keeping it together with her 'band'.
Came across this live version some time ago by accident. I knew London Grammar from name and some top40 songs, sounds good, but usually listen to other kind of music. But I was just struck by this amazing live performance.. This performance is just so enchanting and seriously one of the best I have ever heard.. She has such a perfect creamy heart touching voice and timing! Its in my favorites and listen it once in a while just for the goosebumps and dreaming away. She should make/sing more songs like this and she can become a legend like Eva Cassidy
im just doing the opposite of what people does to blacks by being afraid of offending them, there is a wave of anti white sentiment from many people , and im going against that wave.
Back, white or brown - regardless, great vocals like this transcend skin colour or even gender. Just enjoy beautiful brilliance without having to define it.
hahahaha... faces are saying everything... - "looks like I don't have...real talent"... nowadays we have celebrities without any talents... Thank God for London Grammar...
100000% agree that’s why i keep coming back to listen to this performance. It’s not just the stripped down version but also the arrangement of the verse/chorus/bridge sounds way more attractive as well as hannah’s diff melodys she adds. in the studio versions it stays the same throughout without those added gorgeous melodies & now i’ve listened to this version the original sounds kinda boring and repetitive.
Absolutely great version! And I'm sort of relieved to see that it's not only Dutch audiences who lack the ability to sense when clapping along is appropriate or not lol.
This must be one of the best songs ever written, sung and played live in the best possible way :) :) :) Goosebumbs are rare with music these days, but here ... omg
What a performance, outstanding. Outstanding musicians,London Grammar. The contestant's and judges look blown away by their performance. Thanks for sharing, Grazie mille
Saw her 7 years ago at the afternoon program of Southside festival, playing at 2 pm - in a plain white shirt and jeans and I swear, I've never seen this stage so full of people at this time of the day on a festival saturday. This voice is so pure and beautiful
Iam from Uganda.Its 2024. Just discoverd this band and m in love. Actually obsessed with the music. What an Angelic voice! OMG❤
🔥🙏🏻
When she sang this song in St. Petersburg, birds chirped in the background during the chorus. ^_^
I love how spiky hair goes from mildly amused at 0:58 to stupefied at 02:38
Why are they not extremely famous? This beautiful woman's voice touches the soul every time!
Because there r 2 many idiots out there...
Now they are…
@@AntoineB1975 They were 3 years ago as well... He just didn't notice.
They're not famous because she refuses to sexualise herself. Respect to her for maintaining her dignity unlike most pop stars.
Shout out to the sound tech.
This is the best version of one of if not my ultimate favorite song. Normally I prefer the controlled studio environment that allows us to isolate sounds but once in a while live will blow me away.

When Hannah sings, the earth's rotation slows.
Nah the sun 🌞 moves around us.
It does slow ! Not many humans can do that ... Well done. How did you find this ...
I feel this same
It's flat
Found London Grammar for the first time tonight. I'm a fan!
The audience are utterly entranced. They are showing the most respect I have ever seen for a performance in my life.
The best thing about this is the contrast between the presenter who sounds like she smokes 60 Benson & Hedges every day and the purity of the singer's voice.
This lady has a fantastic voice and the group are great
My son told me about the group and I thank my lucky stars that he
did I'm Hook.
Fantastic
This comment made my day 😂
Hahaha
Yeah, really! And the taste of those 60 Cigarettes she washes down with two to three bottles of Johnnie Walker
👍🏼 😎
god creates a lot of wonders, this is one

You are absolutely right!!
Some live sessions are like that. We also have to credit this italian audience.
I keep coming back too! It's a wonderful proformance indeed
Gives me chills how good it is
AGREED! I keep coming back to this version. It's stellar!
This is the most beautiful performance I have ever heard and seen.
It's just so good. I love this band
The fact that she sounds even better live is mind blowing .. what an absolute pleasure that was and what a talent !
Pure class
Amen... 😇
for real it's better than the official audio
Fantastic live at Glasgow last summer as they toured with Coldplay; unbelievable day ❤
Sound was filtered and autotuned and edited... how can you not hear that?
It’s just so good I can’t stop listening. And it’s live which is just more impressive! 2023 London Grammar going strong.
I'm glad I'm not the only 1
I know this group since their beginning. They are talented and Hannah's voice is simply captivating.
Absolutely incredible hey
Who else listening to this song in 2023
Damn straight, LG doesn’t get old.
@@Johnthemanc22you lost?
2023? You could move the 3 in front and people will still be listening to this because music like this is timeless
2024 and smoothly going
Always wind up back here...
and that was the moment that young Edward scissorhands turned his back on his dreams of having a pop career, and became a hedge trimmer!
And that ladies and gentlemen is how it’s done ✅
Literally possibly the best live vocal performance a human could execute.
Who else is here in 2020 still loving this song
I have traveled to the U.K. to see them twice. They are amazing live.
Just stop that trend for shits sake
i will still hear them 20,21,22,23,.....
good music dont have age!!!
me, from Johannesburg
I've watched this for the past 5 days non stop, it's my fav London Grammar song

So true,she is just on another plain..you have put it in a nutshell.
As in Jethro Tull?
It would be like performing at a concert after the band Queen.
@@thebushguy (the kids have no F'ing clue)
Well put
I love this girl pride off britain

This is my favourite version of this
holy shit her voice is out if this world
the reincarnation of Sandy Denny
thats right!
The compare ?
They are not popular because they are not sold to everyone and do not do anything for money. Respect and thank you for your decent behaviour!
No matter how many times I listen to this I'm gobsmacked
I feel the same. I can’t believe they are that good. Hannah is in a league of her own. Just an amazing young woman. And to think this is live in front of an audience............
three humans, three instruments - beautiful
No hype, non angst, no competitive bull.
Just beautiful
David Boson A true shining light in the bleak and depressing times we live in today. If only more 'pop' music was this inventive and original...
Not to mention this woman's voice is one of the best I've ever heard! So beautiful.
Yes please no fights.
I’d love to agree, apart from the pre programmed backing track.
This performance would stand up in any time frame , thousands of years future or past .
I think this is the best vocal performance I’ve seen by Hannah Reid. LG what an incredible talent! Love them, and can’t believe they have any thumbs down… what’s that all about?

And absolute the best version of this song!!!!
Absolute agree
Can't explain it why.. but whenever i hear her voice my eyes fill up with tears
Shut it down. Everybody can go home now. Shut it down, the show ended right there.
Her voice damn
just absolutely smashing it out of the park! What an amazing performance. Hannah has the voice of an angel and everyone who followed them must have felt completely humbled and outclassed.
I wish more Americans could learn to appreciate music and talent like this. Her voice is just phenomenal. Why is stuff like this never on the radio?
Daughter had to tour the US 2 times before gaining a major following.
London Grammar toured part of the US and cancelled the rest of their tour after releasing their first album.
I have only witnessed their live performances when visiting the UK. It is an amazing experience. It is probably for the best since some producer has not tried to change their sound to appeal to a more American audience like what happened to Chvrches.
@South Bound lmao
What are you talking about she's adored in the US.
I pretty much cry everytime I hear her sing.
Because they haven't sold their souls.....😁
Just been listening to “rooting for you” what a lovely song
I think that the producers, of the talent show, messed up big time when booking this small, unknown British band.
Absolutely love the faces of the contestants, I'm sure they're all thinking "its time to go back to my day job" "this woman has real talent, something I can never achieve"
I don't know if they messed up or if it was a stroke of genius.....hard to say...
Far from unknown...
Haha, spot on! Brilliant ;)
And Hannah Reid thought she was not a good enough singer when Dot and Dan asked her to join their university band!!!
I wasn’t there but I’m still blown away by that
soooo,schöööön
Two of the most contrasting voices I've ever heard
They are all looking at her knowing they can never touch her Talent,,, She is Amazing!!
Oh my goodness i listening 2024 and im absolutely love this rendition
❤
Who else is here in 2022 and still loving this song
For a metal head the last thing I expected was to come across a song like this and absolutely adore it. Speechless....
Great music knows no genre.
Same
Metal heads are some of the biggest sentimental pussycats. 😁
Mango rahan greater truth has never been spoken lol
I listen to brutal death metal and i like it too
The UK delivers talent. Consistant.
Yeah .. I'm from France and I don't know how or why so many great artists come all from the UK ..
Sweden agrees (despite being neutral)
I am from the U.K. but they are still some good bands from other countries have a listen to aurora
UK has special talent for music. However full credit to the italian aidience for this unbelievable performance.
Ppl say the music today sucks. Well they arnt listening to this . This is epic music that stands up to all time .I will be listening to this for yrs
Who else is here loving this in 2022 more like x
This is what true talent looks and sounds like!
Then you have someone like Taylor swift who is considered 'better '.smdh
Beautiful song from an incredibly beautiful young lady...................oh and also, does anyone else think the host sounds like an Italian Marge Simpson?
What an AWSOME Trio. Hannah is just breathtaking.
Love the guitar in this one especially

It was actually strange to see her with makeup on in this (or at least, more striking makeup than usual)!
She's an angel.

Bravo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2024 with you 🫶🏻
She is without question very pretty, but hearing her voice makes her beautiful beyond words, that guitar and the drums... Class act
Man she is so beautiful.
of course she is, shes white.
+Luzitanium What do you mean by that? Are people with other skin colours not? That was a bit superficial.
+Luzitanium Tha fuuuu...?

London Grammar radiates humility. I like that!
la très belle Hannah et sa superbe voix
Her voice is so enchanting that honestly I feel a slight tear in my eye everytime I watch this performance (at least once a week).
Me too
It has exactly that affect ....truly outstanding performance
Wow. Don't tell anyone 🎉
I think I've watched it 50 times, and I still look forward to the next one.
Hannah sings with so much emotion that it resonate to all that listens
Good God made me cry like a child....
To answer her question, I'm a woman and I really don't understand how anyone with ears can dislike this song
They have just had there mind blown, the UK just has the best bands. Nuff said
london grammer,my 2yr old son and i watch this clip every night together..this is fantastic,much love from australia
This live version is simply legendary...
Man, the voice of the tv-host! Makes me fall off the chair
The most perfect, beautiful English rose!
hahahaha... faces are saying everything... - "looks like I don't have...real talent"... nowadays we have celebrities without any talents... Thank God for London Grammar...
This is better than the album version imo
EskiLd agreed! Love the simplicity without the layered vocals!
You have EARS :)
Agreed
100000% agree that’s why i keep coming back to listen to this performance. It’s not just the stripped down version but also the arrangement of the verse/chorus/bridge sounds way more attractive as well as hannah’s diff melodys she adds. in the studio versions it stays the same throughout without those added gorgeous melodies & now i’ve listened to this version the original sounds kinda boring and repetitive.
I agree too
Great singers like Hannah seem to take us out of this world for a few minutes.
Hannah Reid is Amazing but her vocals on this is like an Angel. Awesome! 2022 this is more than ever..
STUNNING! ✨️🎶
At 3:35 the young girl looks at Hannah and realises “fuck , how am I ever gonna be this good”
every time i watch this i fall in love with hannah again. she is just so utterly adorable.
Absolutely great version! And I'm sort of relieved to see that it's not only Dutch audiences who lack the ability to sense when clapping along is appropriate or not lol.
the flow in her movement
Most talented singer I've heard for years.
This must be one of the best songs ever written, sung and played live in the best possible way :) :) :) Goosebumbs are rare with music these days, but here ... omg
brought tears to my eyes that did, gorgeous.
Out of this world
I love the Italian "London Gramarrrrrrrr"🐵
The angelic, beautiful voice of Hannah in the midst of the plastic mediocrity of an Italian music talent reminds me of a lotus flower in a mud pool.
LONDON GRAMMAR !! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT !!
Love this, just the look on their faces when they see real talent.
What a performance, outstanding. Outstanding musicians,London Grammar. The contestant's and judges look blown away by their performance. Thanks for sharing, Grazie mille
The reaction and look on everyone's faces in the audience is gold :-D
Absolute flawless
never a more perfect
The hosts faces are so shocked lol like they've been missing out on real music all their lives :-D
I wish it never ends ...
Ladies and gentlemen , this is " Music Revolution "
One or the best songs 😘😘

Yes still here in 2020: This is how us Brits do it...
you are really godlike in music
not in the eu anymore..at last
Everyone's expression.. priceless. Seems like they heard the real music for the first time.
This was definitely the best version of this song they have ever performed!
Greatness is impossible to define. Ethereal. Perfect. Smiling heart.
Hannah Reid is simply GORGEOUS 😘😘😘😍😍
