COSMOB3AR maybe he smoke, drink and take drugs but Matty still be the most sincere person that i ever "met" his voice and his songs are the purest that you ever could heard
I live with my Nanna. She raised me since I was a baby when my parents didn't want me. I get upset everytime this song plays. Even tho she will pass one day I live in denial
Alexis Varte thanks mate. She’s doing fine. Unfortunately we’ve lost our grandfather (her husband). Also a key figure in my upbringing. I know I’ll do him proud though. Hope all is well with you
I appreciate how he chose to preform it in a small environment and also how the crowd remained silent, it's like they understood just how much this song has an impact on him
I wish you'd walk in again Imagine if you just did I'd fill you in on the things you missed Oh sleepless night, a grown up man dressed in white Who I thought might just save your life But he couldn't, so you died I don't like it, now you're dead It's not the same when I scratch my own head I haven't got the nails for it And I know that God doesn't exist And all of the palaver surrounding it But I like to think you hear me sometimes So I reached for a borrowed fleece From my dad or from Denise Always trying to keep warm, when you're the sun I sat with you beside your bed and cried For things that I wish I'd said You still had your nails red And if I live past 72, I hope I'm half as cool as you I got my pen and thought that I'd write A melody and line for you tonight I think that's how I make things feel alright Made in my room, this simple tune Will always keep me close to you The crowds will sing their voices ring And it's like you never left But I'm bereft you see I think you can tell I haven't been doing too well
you could acutally hear and see how close he was to cry but this is incredible, I am grateful that matty decided on performing this live and that he wanted to share this intimate song with his fans, this must mean a huge step for him that he must have overthought a lot, I love this song so much and it always meant a lot to me, as my father also died when I was 8 and I think not just me but a lot of fans can relate to what he sings about in this song, I would love to hear it live when I see them in february although I just wish matty performs it when he feels a hundred percent fine with that as it might leave him really depressed
i totally agree! i can not really relate to this song but i am glad that the song helps a lot of people like you to get through things that have happened! and i am also hoping to see them in feburary next year
truman black I really miss talking to you know that I am so happy your success is so great I am out of that bad part of my life I am almost happy would love to hear more from you again except make sure you get mins. on your phone next time ok Happy Holiday to your mother as well I wished you would have let your hair stay long it make me feel so happy to see you always 😎😎😎😎
I was there! It was a very humbling experience, he held his own so well. I can be heard saying "it's fine" towards the beginning. I was nervous and excited, it turned out so beautifully ❤
Starting crying my eyes out at 1:05. You can see he hurt just singing that and was so close to crying this entire performance. I'm surprised he sang this live! Mad props to Matty for being able to sing this live, in such an intimate setting and for having such control over his emotions and voice during the performance. He's quite a person. Very talented and brave for laying his emotions out in music the way he does.
i couldn’t listen to this song fully since it came out.... because the thought of losing my grandmother was too much to bare. she passed almost a month ago, and i finally had the courage to listen to this song and it’s entirety. it made me cry i’ll admit. it destroyed me. but it also gave me this feeling of how i feel about her gone... like some kind of validation? like i feel it helps me cope. that someone else out there knows how i’m feeling. bc for the most part i’m just angry at the world for moving on... but this... this song gives me closure in a way. so thank you. i needed this song.
I have never not cried while listening to this song, even just the guitar part makes me tear up. Out of all their amazing songs, this will always be the most beautiful one.
I recently got really into them and my nana died in september, the first time i heard this i cried so much. honestly it helped me so much to know someone can relate.
My nana passed away 12 years ago and I miss her more than anything. When I first heard this song I burst out crying because of how spot on the lyrics were. This is my comfort song when I miss her and I cry every time I listen to it. Cancer sucks.
I listened to this song the day I lost my mom ; and my mom always call me Nana coz that was my nick name. Honestly just listened to this can already make me teared up. Coz I’m not just lost my mom that day ; I lost my home ; my only best friend;m ; and turned out my dad decided to left me too ; not to mention my ex left me and all the pressure happened in one night which make me hard to recover until now
I had connected with the lyrics as I can relate with every word of the song because I lost my Nana and watching you sing it, I love you so much and thank you so much for this Matty
i lost my grandma in august of 2020 due to complications of covid. she unfortunately passed away on my 20th birthday and it’s torn me up completely. she was my best friend and played a pivotal role in my upbringing. it’s been 10 months without her and i still feel so completely lost. everything about this song reminds me of my grandma. i remember when i was little, i’d go into her room and lay down beside her and i would lift my shirt till my tummy was exposed and she’d rub my tummy till i drifted off to sleep. we were inseparable.. i miss her more and more as the days go on. this song definitely resonates with me and will always remind me of my sweet grandma..❤️
I never heard this video until about a year ago, and my grandma died right before her 73rd birthday, and this album was released on my birthday. You can tell how personal it is to him and I think that’s how it’s everyone who’s listened it feel closer to their nana as well
I’ve always loved this song, but it hits different now that my grandparents died in August and September. It’s such a simple, beautiful song, it’ll always be one of my favs ❤
Watching this made me come close to tears. I have never lost anyone close to me, but I can feel and see the emotion that he put into it. I love Matty and never thought that he would perform this live, but I am glad that he was able to because it was truly beautiful.
this helped me through my last grandparents death (my nana died before the album came out and when I heard this I cried buckets and it's still the only thing I go to when I miss her)
This song goes to my grandmother for her passing. It just happened tonight and I'm bawling. She's my everything and I loved her so much. Matty sings my life pretty much and I love him for it. I loved my grandmother and I will never forget her. Rip nana
This is so emotional and I can relate to every word. My mama was my best friend and I loved her more than anyone in the whole world and I'm so glad Matty performed this live - it can't have been easy for him
WHO ARE THOSE 9 PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED?! Jk everyone has their own opinion and mine is: how can they dislike this?! This was freaking amazing one of my favorite songs
So I just found out that Matty's moms name is Denise (which is my moms name) and the two songs I connect with are 'She Lays Down' because of my mom and 'Nana' because I don't know what I'd do if I lost my Nana (which is what I cal my grandmother also) Im so

He is so strong to sit there and sing this song, I really admire him
It’s their song 😅
@@Koudeyyeah duh, but they mean it’s got an emotional attachment to him so he’s very strong for sitting there and playing it without getting upset
@@menswear1975 Ok
@@Koudeyyou’re an ass
I am so proud of him, I never thought he'd ever perform this live. I'm so proud :) this was beautiful
ikr, i was quite surprised when i read the title. i just start crying whenewer i listen to it even though i can't really relate
Too pure for this earth
Matty is pure
COSMOB3AR maybe he smoke, drink and take drugs but Matty still be the most sincere person that i ever "met" his voice and his songs are the purest that you ever could heard
katherine pierce true, he's the most sincere person I ever ''met'' too
This is so pure and raw. His performance isn't perfect. But he delivers the emotion so fucking good! Love you Matty.
To be fair, if any one of us were in his situation at the time, we'd probably feel the same way that he did.
I live with my Nanna. She raised me since I was a baby when my parents didn't want me. I get upset everytime this song plays. Even tho she will pass one day I live in denial
davies010 hey there buddy i hope she is well right now and healthy
Alexis Varte thanks mate. She’s doing fine. Unfortunately we’ve lost our grandfather (her husband). Also a key figure in my upbringing. I know I’ll do him proud though. Hope all is well with you
davies010 its been rocky but life’s getting better my friend. Optimism all the way alright. Chin up mate
I relate so much to this comment, god bless you❤️
I appreciate how he chose to preform it in a small environment and also how the crowd remained silent, it's like they understood just how much this song has an impact on him
Mary Morales I know I hate when fans scream and yell during such intimate songs like stop.
Mary Morales well when most of the crowd arent drunk or younger than 12, yea theyll be pretty respectful
"Always trying to keep warm when you're the sun." My heart is broken.
When his voice shakes when he sings "I haven't been doing to well" it just breaks me. But on a real note jc guitar tech tune his electric up!
MrBoo204 OMG yes😢
Peace for all who lost somebody, for all of you who have lost your 'nana'.
I wish you'd walk in again
Imagine if you just did
I'd fill you in on the things you missed
Oh sleepless night, a grown up man dressed in white
Who I thought might just save your life
But he couldn't, so you died
I don't like it, now you're dead
It's not the same when I scratch my own head
I haven't got the nails for it
And I know that God doesn't exist
And all of the palaver surrounding it
But I like to think you hear me sometimes
So I reached for a borrowed fleece
From my dad or from Denise
Always trying to keep warm, when you're the sun
I sat with you beside your bed and cried
For things that I wish I'd said
You still had your nails red
And if I live past 72, I hope I'm half as cool as you
I got my pen and thought that I'd write
A melody and line for you tonight
I think that's how I make things feel alright
Made in my room, this simple tune
Will always keep me close to you
The crowds will sing their voices ring
And it's like you never left
But I'm bereft you see
I think you can tell
I haven't been doing too well
I burst into tears at the cried the things I wish I'd said part... every time

I really do relate to this song, which city do you plan to go to see them live? I am seeing them in Cologne
omggg amazing, i want to see them live in cologne too
so have you already bought a ticket? I would love to meet u there I am really excited for other fans
sadly i haven't yet but i really need to hurry because i want one
i cried the whole video

i was literally by my grandmothers bed and her nail were still painted red and when i first heard that line i literally lost it
Oh, man. This guy has something really special about him. I'm so proud right now. You go, Matty!
“i haven’t got the nails for it”
*camera continues to cut to a view of matty’s nails*

I have never not cried while listening to this song, even just the guitar part makes me tear up. Out of all their amazing songs, this will always be the most beautiful one.
In my opinion this is the most beautiful song Matty has ever made/written beside “Me” !
he's so brave to perform this song live and keeping his cool. I fucking love you matty

I lost my grandma yesterday and now I finally understand you Matty. Thank you for this.

Love Matty and The 1975...this song!

I’ve always loved this song, but it hits different now that my grandparents died in August and September. It’s such a simple, beautiful song, it’ll always be one of my favs ❤
the first ten seconds of the song had me in literal tears, i absolutely adore this version
This is absolutely beautiful
Watching this made me come close to tears. I have never lost anyone close to me, but I can feel and see the emotion that he put into it. I love Matty and never thought that he would perform this live, but I am glad that he was able to because it was truly beautiful.
This n she lays down bring me to tears but I love that there’s someone like him who feels the same 😩🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️
i can't believe he can control his emotion do it. well done matt!

my emotions, man. beautiful job
This song goes to my grandmother for her passing. It just happened tonight and I'm bawling. She's my everything and I loved her so much. Matty sings my life pretty much and I love him for it. I loved my grandmother and I will never forget her. Rip nana
This song just hits me so fucking hard. I don't know how Matty performed this song here because I wouldn't have been able to.
coming back here, hes a gem
i cried a river on the first bars
The "window" in their album is to his soul, right?
i honestly never thought i would ever see him preform this song live, and it's so brave of him to do so. this was beautiful.
my eyeballs are sweating
This is so emotional and I can relate to every word. My mama was my best friend and I loved her more than anyone in the whole world and I'm so glad Matty performed this live - it can't have been easy for him
This is so beautiful i literally cried throughout the whole song ❤
such a pure human i love him so much wow
I love this song so much! I broke down crying the first time i heard it. The lyrics mean a lot to me.❤️
Hit me right in the feels
i didnt plan on crying this hard thanks
his little head shake :/ love you always kiddo
How old are u to call him kiddo.?😂
Don't mind me over here crying my actual fucking eyes out. I just can't describe how this song touches my heart.
good job matty. you are an amazing song writer, keep up the good work!
This song makes me cry so much everytime I hear it.
Probably my favourite song on the new album, never thought he'd play this live!
HOLY SHIT AMAZING
I can't believe that he is able to perform this, this song is just emotional, the way he sings it breaks my heart and i love him for that
this song makes me miss my grandma and its so good too
Such a great album
WHO ARE THOSE 9 PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED?! Jk everyone has their own opinion and mine is: how can they dislike this?! This was freaking amazing one of my favorite songs
Before I was born my grandmas were already gone... It's sad that I was not able to meet them.
It's really hard to watch him play this one I couldn't stop crying all the way through this and well I'm still crying I literally love him so much:/
He is the absolute love of my life
Thank you, Matty
that is so good. awesome performance
this gets me every time
the tears are real. wow.
that was so beautiful
love
omg matty
love yoooooou
So I just found out that Matty's moms name is Denise (which is my moms name) and the two songs I connect with are 'She Lays Down' because of my mom and 'Nana' because I don't know what I'd do if I lost my Nana (which is what I cal my grandmother also) Im so
This song is very nice
I love the guitar god fuck
WHAT? WHO? IM NOT CRYING !!
I miss her.
I’m fucking ugly crying
awww he totally messes up "sing" and "ring"
can somebody recommend some songs as raw and as beautiful as this?
Ya are u ready
Yes
Why does he want to make me cry
People dislike this video have no feelings
I love you
chords and picking pattern anyone?
anyone got a guitar tab for this version?
Where's everyone else :(
Aliya Steele it was Matty and Adam originally, I think Adam had to run to the restroom or something and Matty just decided to do a solo song for us.
finally
Does anyone else think this sounds a bit similar to John Mayer's Half of my Heart? (The intro specifically)
😍😍😍😍💕💕💕💕
I'm growing my hair like his. It's pretty much shaven on the sides and the top and back are long hair. Like a mowehawk but really long hair
1:49 "What was thar chord?" LOL
Hey where's your band buddy
3:11 tho huhu
😭😢
🤍
my nana just died yesterday :””(
As beautiful as this is, please for the love of god tune your guitar Matty or get rid of the heavy chorus, I love it though
Literally thinking the same. I love the song but that guitar wants my ears to bleed I swear.
Is this song about his nana?
Claire Turnage yes
