“It’s about how I felt when I was trying to get signed, I was going for all these meetings and people were looking at me like ‘What do we do with you’? It's about not allowing yourself to be judged by others or to be taken for an idiot. I feel the video reflects that” Emeli Sande 2012.
Directed by Wiz (Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys) the video is about making a stand, believing in yourself and not allowing yourself to be judged.
From the UK's biggest selling album of 2012 'Our Version Of Events': bit.ly/OurVersionOfEvents

2024...who else
I'm obsessed, such a beautiful song!!
Definitely meeee❤❤💯👍
Me, as well.❤
Else is here 😂❤❤❤❤
❤️🩹
I just watched a young lady from London sing this song on American Idol. This is my first time hearing this song in 2024 and both these ladies blew the heck outta this song. My new favorite song for life now. ❤ I'm the oldest sibling and I'm a Gemini as well as hold my family together and many other people in the World! Just hugged my heart this song did.
❤me two😢😊
Me too❤
I had to come and find this song too ❤
Just saw the girl on American idol, amazing
Me to she made me cry.... she was amazing
When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you undestand the lyrics.
Very true indeed. I love this and 'read all about it'.
Best lyrics along with 'Starry Night' Don McClain, I think '!!
thats so true...listening to it now...
So true
🥰🥰
Well I dont know first time I listened to it I got a whole different feel about how you are lonely in the world the song really spoke to me but since the video showcases oppression and belittling a woman so she would listen to you it gives a whole different feel it goes to show how lyrics can really be about anything
Well it’s 2023 and this song was recently introduced to me.
This lady’s voice haunts me, i just want to keep playing her songs on Spotify over and over. Does she have a bad song - not to my ears. Visually stunning. Voice of angels. I am sorry I wasn’t introduced 10 years ago. Deserving success for certain.
I'm just now hearing of her myself in 2024 watching a young lady from London sing her song on American Idol and I'm blown away by both of these ladies ❤
I can't believe this is the first time in hearing this stunning song!!❤
She deserves a Grammy 😭
Yes
Beqir Mehmeti yeah she does
Grammys Oscars Emmys= illuminiti Demons. It's only her entire message!
But Grammy doesn’t deserve her.
I suppose she has had plenty of brit awards, but anyway I totally agree, she's AMAZING ♥️🇬🇧
The lyrics hit me so hard cos I interpreted it differently. I'm always the one trying to make everyone laugh, be it with my family, my friends, my boyfriend. I never allow them to see me break down and cry. I couldn't, even if I wanted to. I tried before to cry in front of them, it just won't come out. So I swallowed it all in, continue to make them laugh, continue to take care of them while I put on my brave facade, I put on my makeup so that they won't see my pain. I suffered from severed depression and was suicidal several times, yet my dad has no idea. I care for my loved ones too much to let them see what I'm going through.
hazwanee25 you seem to be very strong, just remember that you don’t have to be so strong all the time, let go some time and say aloud how you feel, when someone’s listening to our worries we feel a bit better, and even if it will not work every time, you should keep on doing it, because you can’t stay in the dark alone, it’s not good. Stay strong and talk to your relatives, feel free to cry or feel any kind of feelings you are experiencing 💕
I can relate to everything you wrote 😥
I've always been a clown for the others, to always make sure they're ok, taking care of and happy. I've always put myself last and that brought me so much misery, depression, anxiety, panic attacks... This year has been my first year, to take care of myself for once and I am doing so much better. Wishing you all the best!
@@jsuis.hxollz thank you for your kind words 💕 it's hard to change a habit that I've lived with for so many years but I am working on it, focusing on myself first, bit by bit. Just that when I heard the lyrics I bawled out right, going through all those am I not worthy to be loved etc but somehow the lyrics also made me stronger, in a way. I'm at a place where I feel okay to say no to my loved ones, which is still very much difficult for me to do. Thank you so much for dropping a reply, I hope that you too a blessed with happiness and joy in all that you do *HUGS*
Oh sweetheart, I know how you feel. It's okay to not be okay and it's okay to be selfish sometimes. Making other's happy doesn't have to drain your spirit, I wish you well.
You make me cry, I'm sure you're a great person, I’m sorry for what you're going through, i wish you the best. love from France
In a school talent show a girl sang this song and she had the most beautiful voice in existence, it’s been four years and I still think of her performance that day
This song is a rebellion against authority. Perfectly written and composed. ❣️
Shame people forget that during these tyrannical measures in 2021 by the government
It's kinda the opposite. The last line is literally "I'm selling out tonight."
so true bestie
Might be what it means to you, but it actually doesn't mean anything close to it. She says what it is. It's about her when she was breaking out into music and trying to get on a label. About not letting people take you for a fool, and be judged by others.
Please never sell your soul. God is everything. please
I think, this is not Her decision. Look ..... 2 Pac , Michael Jackson , and many artists they opposed, and now they gone ...
Aneta Łazarek Tupac & Michael Jackson both sold out. They both took the oath, and decided to expose the industry.
Aneta Łazarek Of course it's her decision.
@@Peachyohz yep

Never be anyone's clown, never sell your soul,stand up for who you are.. beautiful song 💕⚘
Exactly!!!!
People only treat you the way they feel
That is if it's in disrespect
Wow u understood the deeper meaning she was trying to get out from the music video and the music industry she’s pure ❤
🤍Amen♥️
Strong meaning in the song. She wants to be paid what she deserves. She's a great artist😍. You ain't no clown honey
These lyrics still hit me at 30 like they did when I was 15.

One of the best songs of the decade.
Agreed it is a powerful ballad. It sums up the end of a toxic partnership. What a beauty.

Going into 2022 still listening... she has a beautiful voice....
i don't believe there's a single person that can't relate to this song on some level, how many songs are as honest as this one? i can't think of a single one.

Todays music industry....filth,, they suck people dry, then drop them.We should all start donating to help great future talent...this is my all time fave video and song, what a fabulous talented lady......she was spot on.
You're grouping all artists today as awful people... Meh, guess I could you group you with every closed minded, ignorant person
So what are you looking to donate? Jillian Dennis
+FriendlyFire2830 the music industry is not the artist. They are saying that such talented artists get found by greedy music industries who control them use them up then leave them if it doesn't work out.
That is true!
true
This song expresses any oppression from the music industry, relationships and life. True essence of a complete song 🎵
alright we got Adele back.. now I'm waiting for Emeli and Frank
same.😳
+Raven Henry dying without frank
Frank Sinatra has been gone for awhile now. :'(
I know right! 😩 but she's working on it I think

I love this song. As a 61 year old I now see this video as the youths future, having someone's boot of your face and making choices that are not good for you. Emeli is not only beautiful, she is very talented and this video speaks volumes.
The MESSAGE of this piece, Gosh my heart...this is beautiful
If you are listening to this song in 2018.. You are worth it .. God bless you❤
same,zoe💕

Am listening from Belgium. God bless you too❤️
well its 2019 and im still listening to this song
2019 here
This deserves so many more views. Such a good message....
👏
Savian Amural what is the songs about ?
Savian Amural right she is THE queen of music right now
how do we get her more views?
I know we use are friends phones and get them to play it
What is the message?
There's only one thing that bothers me about Emeli Sande. It's the fact that I'm American, and how indignant and ashamed I feel about how few--if any--people here have even heard of this talented lady with such a good voice.
Apparently Barack Obama has her on his play list. She also sang at the start and end of the 2012 Olympics opening, yet, like you say she fell under the radar to global stardom. We in Scotland are proud of our Aberdeen lass, though 🏴
Please watch and subcribe
It's true, she is not known! And she is great!!!
What's being American got to do with it? I saw her live in Chicago years ago. Incredible night.
@@nicksmpsn6546 ok
The most underrated artist
you're underrated

This got played at my Dad's funeral 3 years ago, I will always remember this song
I am really sorry😢
Thanks
Curtie I'm sorry for your loss
Curtis very emotional for a funeral.sorry for your loss.
Thank you
I’ve always loved Emile Sande. Dalton did her song justice. Love both versions
Clever Burton ..me too..Em can really sing and I loved that Dalton covered one of her songs!
Og3ne did a cover & it made me cry.
What's amazing about selling-out?

everyone: “I’m here for dalton harris”
me: “I’m here for emeli sandé.”
🤍✨the most beautiful song
Bruh this song is 8 years old that happened like 2 years ago “everyone” ain’t talking about no Dalton Harris 😂
Thank you for listening to my tribute
th-cam.com/video/vl5vIAlfONM/w-d-xo.html
What a voice, just perfect emotion in each note.
I came here when X-factor announced that Dalton would sing it. And again I'm in awe of his song choice and what this wonderful, so conscious and wise young man wants to tell the world...I hope he will be protected because the industry hasn't treated people well that wanted to bring love, light and peace to world through their music.... And he actually reminds me in many things of M.J. and Prince...
Well said
Every time I watch my fellow countryman I get the same feeling. He's being fighting all his life and he just poured it out in his well selected songs week after week. Keep going Dalton.
Thank you for listening to my tribute 💙

This should have been the official song for "Joker"
Great point 👉 👈 👇 👍 👏
It’s April 2022 and I still enjoy every word and note of this beautiful song.
the way she sings about her life as a singer and coming up is jsut mesmorising. she brings light to the industry in a elegant way.
Dalton Harris brought me here 😩
Such an amazing song!
Dalton!!
Yessssssss gurlll same here plZ vote
sameeee
Me too 😍😍

Where is this beautiful lady with such a beautifull voice hiding🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Thank u Dalton for singing this beautiful song 😍😍😍😍😍😎
She was with Dalton on Saturday
What's beautiful about selling-out?
@@TheTruthness2011 I have never understood the notion that for a song to be good, no one else but you can hear it. I also don't understand why artists need to poor. They have families, children and entire bunch of other people who work FOR them who depend on the artist making money. Would you work for free and if you gain success would you piss on it? Surviving on pride won't pay your mortgage. Take your success where ever you get it, do no harm, give something back and live your life.
@@TheTruthness2011 How condescending, you think you know something about life that I do not. I didn't ask nor do I care how you define success, neither does this artist (or sell out as you call her). The point I was making is that she does what she does to get what she needs. You do the same. This is pointless you think you know me and I already know I don't know you. We can't persuade each other, because we can't even disagree politely. This is pointless, good luck to you.
Thank you for listening to my tribute 💙

This song touches me deeply, I feel exactly like that, when it comes to my family, and how I think they see me.
❤
Emeli Sandé's music expresses herself as a formidable singer and I love her so much that I had to download all 4 of her albums. This woman knows her craft and OMG, that powerful voice of hers is a joy in my ears.❤️
This lady , where ever she may be has left a beautifull legacy. X
Thanks to Dalton for introducing me to new and amazing music every week 😘
I agree I have another level of respect for these type songs even when Dalton Harris sang "California Dreaming" I wished he would sing Eddie Kendrick "Tell her love has found a need " now that with Dalton singing would be magic
Me too have never heard this song b4
Same here
T'Chanda Wakanda me as well👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🇵🇭🇶🇦
True - I have never heard this song or the artist before until Dalton sang it - it’s beautiful and Dalton’s cover is exceptional
As a grade 8 kid I loved this woman to death and still do. I always told my friends she will win a Grammy. Even tho she hasn't but in my heart she has
She is way too amazing to he limited by the Grammys. Love her to death.
Well done to her for not selling her soul to the devil in exchange for fame and money .
That's what she is singing about .
Hey Emeli. I'm ashamed to say I haven't found your music sooner. Unbelievable beauty in your voice. This song is incredible. Hope you're well.
Dalton never fails to deliver.
Who?
He really smashed this song.....
I know you did this on purpose

Emeli Sande and Ed Sheeran are killing it in UK and finally bringing it to the states and there blowing up more
To me this seems like the meaning is to the music industry, buying artists souls and then working them hard. Until they deny it and then take all the privileges away. When she signs it's like her souls been sold and that all they care about is the money and her selling out shows. The music industry can be a dark place but artists like her are able to show us what it's like.
Peace and love to everyone, never let anyone buy your soul. ❤️❤️
thank you, i was waiting for someone to say this. we’re all blinded. it’s right in front of our face & we can’t see it. my friend showed me this song years ago and I had no clue what it was about. looking back at it I know the true meaning and I wonder if she sold.
Thank you for listening to my tribute
th-cam.com/video/vl5vIAlfONM/w-d-xo.html
@@jazminegrays5886 Yes sorry only just seen your reply. Now wanting to go work in the music industry I can see it even more. People have to sell their souls and I stand by that...its so sad.
I also agree but suspect that in the end she ended up signing, she was threatened her life if she doesnt so it wasnt really her choice ..
everyone has a choice. You are perfectly capable and entitled to say no to anything. SHE SOLD OUT FOR THE KINGS SHILLING and she is ashamed of it.
Poor little thing, my heart bleeds purple poss for her......... 😂

AS IS THIS.....
WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT........and BREATHE.....and STRONG......and now available on i-Tunes, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah......................
Seriously though...google her...she is mellow and vocally terrific.

Elli Phantastic its as pretty as they come.....
I agree
I'm sure I'm late but I'm loving this girl!!!!
Yeah about 3 years late lol. But this music is timeless. I love her.
+4ever Young I also got it from a labrinth video!!
She had an American debut back when this album peaked in the UK but we was sleeping on her smh
Javal Thomas are you serious? didnt know that. this is a great song and hard to sing she s great. so disappointing!
Ashley Taccone yes lol. She even did promo
This song is amazing, i watched my mother in critical care after lung transplant.
Watched her behind a glass wall and wasnt allowed on the otherside.
Made me cry so so hard
Very sad memory
Rip mum x
This was my mother's song on her funeral.. miss her every day ❤
❤
I'm so sorry for you lost. I miss my mother too. She died this year on 2/2/2022, on her mother's birthday. My mam was only 50. It's been nearly 10 months ago and it's still so raw the day it happened. Worst thing I've ever gone through. I know how you feel. Here if you want to talk. x 🥀
Its my daugters song b4 she took her own life
I’ve been thinking about what this song actually means, it’s a hard one because it embodies so many emotions, but the one thing they all have in common is the feeling of failing but having to move forward with the course of life. It’s sad but also so beautiful because people are complicated, we never know why someone behaves the way they do and ultimately we’re all fighting a battle to make something of ourselves, even when we don’t like the choices we make, even with all life’s twists and turns. Just beautiful!
She said what it means. It was about her trying to get into music and get signed. She said it was about people taking her for a fool and judging her. It's telling people not to be a clown for people, be yourself, even if they don't like it. Don't be a sell out because others want you to be because it will benefit them.
A song is even more powerful when you have your own interpretation of the lyrics (based on your own life) This song keeps me strong..
I think it's about mental health ,and I'm worried as my 14.year old daughter loves it ,,what do you think it's about
Thank you for listening to my tribute 💙

A true visionary. We are all about to go thru this same exact thing and worse. Never surrender!! Love ya girl. Stand your ground always!!!!
Omw this woman is an amazing artist!! Did she won any awards yet?!! Just love her. One hit after another.
one of the most revolutionary songs as a South African young man who's seeking not only justice but liberation for this country. South Africa loves you Emeli
Such a amazing voice
Wow - that was so powerful - you could see the pressure she was under to sell her soul but the pen is mightier than the sword. She knows what she is singing about in this video and you can hear it her beautiful voice. "Success is impatient" that really struck a chord for me. Im stunned. Dont be a clown for anyone elses amusement unless that is your hearts desire of course.
D A L T O N brings me here !!
Has anyone realised that since she made this song, she hasn't been mainstream again, like there's nothing really said about her again. I guess she didn't sign at the end...
+Girl 101 She's been taking a break. She's extremely introvert and avoided the limelight for years while she was writing material for other artists. She'll be back with another fantastic album no doubt, she's far too talented not to.
Hitsuke Trust me,that's probably the end of her unless she agrees. Talent isn't enough, I mean look at people like young thug, nicki minaj and so on
Seriously... She's one of the most talented songwriters of the last 10 years. Simon Cowell has her on speed dial for when he needs a big song for his contracted female artists. Check out some of the stuff she's written for other people, and you'll know what I'm talking about.
I know you're referencing the theme of the video, but don't worry about Ms Sande. She will be back at the top of the album charts when her new album hits stores.
Hitsuke I'm sure but we'll see
ILLUMANTI
Just heard an American idol contestant sing your song. Love your voice
2022 and I can't take it off replay!!!!! simply breath-taking!!!!!!

Gives me goosebumps everytime ❤
A brilliant song , with brilliant lyrics and she acts out the part so well in the music video. Full of life lessons told so well . A very , bright , talented girl.
To the people who know this song is about them my heart goes out to you all ❤
❤
What stunning song which I have only just heard tonight. How on earth can 5k people give this a thumbs down? Utter madness and disrespect to a wonderful singing talent.
Clown.
I cried throughout the song.. beautifully composed.. beautifully sang, and continued to cry throughout the next 6 times I played it. Brilliantly performed🌹
The song it's self is hauntingly beautiful, adding the subject material makes it even more so! She is an awesome artist!
'Go ahead and laugh cos its funny, I would too if I saw me.' Man that line cut me up, now I need to buy this song.
I am very heartbroken an i heard this song and trust me, it bought most of the hurt out. She is very talented.
Everyone interprets music differently. However, only people who understand how the music industry works would know exactly what the lyrics of this song mean.
The clip depicts her label managers as nazi officers... and she made them pay the video! She is a genius! 🤣
I, as others that commented before me recently caught a WONDERFUL cover of your song. I had to look it up and here I found YOU, Beautiful in every way! The Voice, The look, the whole package! What a WONDERFUL song and you did it superbly! I have no idea how I missed that over the years. I added it to my "Songs for the Broken Hearted" playlist..
I've heard this song loads of times but Dalton's version made me love it

We need this Emile Sande again 😍🤗
Just leaving this comment here for when people click like on it and the notifications will bring me right back to this beautiful and much related to me life gem of a song. Thank you, Emile Sandé you legit sang my life story. ❤️
this is so emotional, the lyrics are genuinely the saddest words I've ever heard, my heart aches for this young lady x
I just made friend this year, in my tenth grade year. I used to be bullied all the time. This song makes my heart soar, to think others share the same pain, and that we can all relate to each other, and support each other, either it be via person, love, or music. Thank you, so much for singing this song Emeli.

How are you now?
Brand Jamaica....if we only knew how blessed and talented we are
I listened to this when my daughter was in Foster care for 2 years, it explained perfectly my battle with social services and contact with my daughter. I fought hard and got her back, but this song takes me back to a dark place.
Stay strong mama
You are my hero truly stand tall be strong life is hard I know this truly do but life is getting better day by day HUGs x
Still listening 2024 ❤ truly inspirational amazing wonderful person.
Masterpiece 👍
I feel the for the many artists in the industry that are used as pawns, as puppets, as clowns. The industry is really dark and full of terrors.
It’s hard when your the one people judge until you show your true colours
And prove them wrong to all of the questions.
Hard hitting song and powerful message
We are all someone’s clown
Until your truly captivated by one’s grace and true potential ❤
Just found this for the 1st time... Wow, what did I just listen to? Amazing... this is an experience of take away lirics.
