Dear BBC, I have watched the show on the TV and I really loved it, especially the performance of “Like I can”. I can not find the full video from this exact concert anywhere! Is there a chance we all can embrace the full show somewhere?
Meu Deus .... É incrível ouvir um live , e ouvir o álbum e não encontrar uma diferença sequer, tudo idêntico, que voz ! No cd vc se arrepia, ao vivo vc tem um pico de arrepios sem fim !
Amazing performance Sam + pianist! I did a piano cover of Burning and One Last Song, trying to reach some Sam Smith fans. Listen and let me know what you think!

LYRICS
[Intro]
I've been burning, yes, I've been burning
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
No insurance, to pay for the damage
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Verse 1]
I've been smoking, oh
More than twenty a day
Blame it on rebellion
Don't blame it on me
Wish I was younger
Back to the nineteenth of May
I had an open mind
Swore to never change
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how time goes by
Had respect for myself
That river ran dry
You reached a limit
I wasn't enough
It's like the fire replaced all the love
[Chorus]
I've been burning, yes, I've been burning
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
No insurance, to pay for the damage
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Verse 2]
Oh, if you ever called
I will run straight back
Give you my forgiveness
And the shirt off my back
No friends to turn to
Yeah, I messed up that
Wish we could smoke again
Just for a day, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how time goes by
Had respect for myself
That river ran dry
You reached a limit
I wasn't enough
And it's like the fire replaced all the love
[Chorus]
I've been burning, yes, I've been burning
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
No insurance, to pay for the damage
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Outro]
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
Oh, I've been burning up since you left

This is one of my favourites in the album. I could not stop listening to this song. Urghhh the feels of it is just too much.
The talent is unreal man. You sound like you are in the studio. Keep dropping songs for us man. Cant get enough

Wish we could smoke again
Just for a day, oh
Funny how time goes by

My favourite song of the album
Dear BBC, I have watched the show on the TV and I really loved it, especially the performance of “Like I can”. I can not find the full video from this exact concert anywhere! Is there a chance we all can embrace the full show somewhere?

Who else noticed that Sam is singing this song 1 note lower than the original??
Noticed that too. But it's still good.
yes still good.. I guess he is protecting his voice.. the entire album is too high, beautiful but dangerous, because he've got a big tour ahead!
Paulo Travels It’s in the original Key man. It kinda sounds low in some parts but still in the key.
Nope, it's still the original notes, but the audio sounds is different
