abeautifulhaze I just watched Timmy prayer oh my goodness the 1st I heard I wasnt feeling because I was in the wrong mood cuz I just heard this song n some his live so I get up the later the next day I was TH-cam bumping I wasn't looking at the fone n the auto-play just played anotha song I had to flip the fone over man my shit was erupting 🌋🔥🔥🔥like a Samsung 7 now I can't get the 🔥out of my mind I replayed it bout 7x in a row I'm so glad I found some new 🔥 just look at the length of my comments.. thank you
Thie. Begining and the "you don't know what a scarecrow is" and this South London train.part made this session legendary..this should the sound for a Luther season...
met him for a brief moment after a gig with sbtrkt about 2 years ago and i can honestly say he's the most modest guy! told him he was amazing & his response 'you realise I'm not sbtrkt right?' man sbtrkts album would have been nothing without sampha
His voice is absolutely angelic and beautiful. So unique. And how that mic drowned out so much of the background noise without a pop filter I don't know.
It's a cardoid mic probably. also it has a foam cover over the whole thing. Also a pop filter doesn't do shit to remove background noise I have no idea where you got that idea. A pop filter is used to smooth some of the harsh vowels like P, K or something
I wish I could express myself musically this way 😭 the chords progressions, notes, etc., everything beautifully expresses/articulates pain. This is art for sure.
I have to come back to this every so often ....to cry. To be in awe...to just experience what I felt when I first heard this. This is more than music to me. This is healing me with each listen....thank you, Sampha.
Kanyeislife that's what's wrong with today, people think artist need to be the best or ranked higher then someone else. If he really wanted to he could be on the radio and a sell out. But he actually cares about the music and it doesn't matter if he is the best as long as he keeps making beautiful music
Me and one my best friends used to sit in a parking lot after a day's worth of hanging out and would just blast this song and smoke a couple newports when we were 18 or so...man as depressed as I was back then I do miss those days..imma come back and visit you soon dog
kinda same. this song literally holds a special place in my soul. sometimes i find it crazy that i've come out of that really bad mentality. im better now but still going through life as it is :) we all miss those days but i hope u dont visit that depressive state again. u may embrace or reminisce but anything is better than being sad and empty, all the best to u
sampha is so soulful and creative, his piano composition as well as his lyrical composition sums up to be one of my favorite songs of the year, maybe even of all time. so beautiful. you're gifted, sampha. just know that.
I've been listening to this song for 6 months now. Sampha is so underappreciated, he deserves so many accolades. I think we should just create an award ceremony to appreciate people of his genre.
I love this video, especially the lengths where we got a view from his back. You don't see his face, so all the emotional impact comes strictly from his voice and the piano. All the movements are subtle. They hardly take your attention away from his melodic playing of the keys and the smooth intensity of his vocals. With that being said, I also love Sampha. Everytime I press play, it's like walking into an empty auditorium with him performing on stage alone. He has this "Frank Ocean" esque aura where he can really convey himself in a way that seems incredibly personal. It's like stepping through the door of Narnia with the way he grips you out of your own world, distracts you from your surroundings, and let's you bask in his. He makes 4 minutes not FEEL like 4 minutes...
What i love about this guy, is the originality in the sound, his voice, the way he uses the piano to accentuates. He is in a genre all by himself, no one sounds similar. Truly a genius honestly. The emotion and agnst in the music just reaches out to me and mkes it so that the music is timeless!
God I hate that fact that him, Solange, Brymo and so many others arent at the awards and being praised as much as the ones I think suck ass, their messages are pure and I just love it and fear they will die out, I will need to buy their albums to have forever even in death, just toss it in my casket
+Michael Watkins True. People need to start creating platforms because the way the media is right now if you're a talented minority waiting for appreciation you're going to be waiting forever.
Dayummmm this time 2 years ago I was going through a bad break up , boom fast forward now I’m going through more stuff it seems like it never stops. Contemplating my own life even not too sure if I even wanna stay and watch this world crumble to pieces . Peace to you whoever you are , can’t even shed any more tears feels like I ran out. Numb to it all
I just discovered this album and no one knows me and this this song are literally the best thing I have heard in a while. He's a pure creative, vocals, musicanship, performance, everything is right.
[Verse 1] Magnetic lights in the blue-high haze A magnifying glass upon my face It's so hot I've been melting out here Made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears Houston can-can-can you hear And we both had to harness our pain Close it and hope it decays Oh in heaven I'm up and away, up and away [Verse 2] I loved those mornings, when the suns up Smoking in the lobby, waiting for my name to pop up (YEAH) And usually I'd run home, and tuck the issue under Living with my worries, I didn't really know what that lump was My luck, it's so hot I've been melting out here Made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears Houston can-can-can you hear And we both had to harness our pain Close it and hope it decays Oh in heaven I'm up and away, up and away (up and away) [Verse 3] You didn't know what the scarecrow is It's like outer space in his inner ears And like a blossom you opened up And you understood why you could not love It's so hot I've been melting out here Made out of plastic out here You touch down in the base of my fears Houston can-can-can you hear And we both had to harness our pain Close it and hope it decays Oh in heaven I'm up and away, up and away (up and away)
This is ridiculous. He's a poet. I feel exactly what he's saying. This is my favorite artist. I've been patiently waiting. He's back. And the wait was well worth it. I'm inspired to be all I can be listening to this dude.
"You touchdown in the base of my fear" Sampha always been good but after hearing this and Timmy's Prayer he's about to become 1 of my favorite artists if the rest of the album is built like this.
I love this performance so much - clears the studio version There are so many layers: the screeching of passing trains, the rawness of the piano chords and Sampha's vocals - this rendition makes me cry every time 😭💖
Man I'm going to pray for this brother.. I looked up the meaning of his lyrics because I sensed a lot of pain in his voice... 😢 many blessings to you brother. Never know what people are going through.
Sampha, most underrated/underappreciated global singer right now.
Ethan Henry hes been a great help past few weeks
Khalid up there.
2 years later he still is , it's sad
@@ibieiniid4240 but I'd get behind what the OP said. As for khalid? On a global scale? Idk I think your opinion got in the way there bud
@@Looseskru idk what that means
I love the end of this performance when he says "up & away" as the train goes by. Perfect timing.
All 💘 that love
divine timing
Sampha slowly becoming one of my favorite artists. Timmy's Prayer is one of the best songs i've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
facts
happens
abeautifulhaze I just watched Timmy prayer oh my goodness the 1st I heard I wasnt feeling because I was in the wrong mood cuz I just heard this song n some his live so I get up the later the next day I was TH-cam bumping I wasn't looking at the fone n the auto-play just played anotha song I had to flip the fone over man my shit was erupting 🌋🔥🔥🔥like a Samsung 7 now I can't get the 🔥out of my mind I replayed it bout 7x in a row I'm so glad I found some new 🔥 just look at the length of my comments.. thank you
abeautifulhaze timmys prayer, blood on me , and fault reverse are legendary
he's always been bomb where u beeeeeennn????
This is the kind of song that obliterates playlists. You don't want to over play it, but nothing else sounds good after this ..stuck! Masterpiece ❤️.
Thie. Begining and the "you don't know what a scarecrow is" and this South London train.part made this session legendary..this should the sound for a Luther season...
met him for a brief moment after a gig with sbtrkt about 2 years ago and i can honestly say he's the most modest guy! told him he was amazing & his response 'you realise I'm not sbtrkt right?' man sbtrkts album would have been nothing without sampha
agree. all of my favorite SBTRKT tracks feature Sampha.
totally agreed
real talk! he made it what it is.. only reason I listen to that album is because of him... and jessie ware but mainly him lol
Agree. I like a lot the production made by sbtrkt but since they don't collab anymore, sbtrkt has fallen down... sampha is the talent
Bonnor Caker a memory for life
His voice is absolutely angelic and beautiful. So unique. And how that mic drowned out so much of the background noise without a pop filter I don't know.
I was thinking the same thing
It's a cardoid mic probably. also it has a foam cover over the whole thing. Also a pop filter doesn't do shit to remove background noise I have no idea where you got that idea. A pop filter is used to smooth some of the harsh vowels like P, K or something
Kabalyst My fault I recalled incorrectly. Thanks for the correction. Any advice for a blue snowball mic to help reduce background noise even further?
microphone is a shure sm7b cardioid
Fab filter Pro - G
I wish I could express myself musically this way 😭 the chords progressions, notes, etc., everything beautifully expresses/articulates pain. This is art for sure.
sameeee
You can learn
The beautiful thing about music is that you will learn to express yourself musically in your own way, that no one else can replicate
I have to come back to this every so often ....to cry. To be in awe...to just experience what I felt when I first heard this. This is more than music to me. This is healing me with each listen....thank you, Sampha.
He is gonna be one of the biggest artists on UK scene. When i hear him i got creeps.
Hopefully cause he's been around for years now
friður Does he have any full length albums. Or just the 1 Ep
nnorush85 his debut will have premiere in February.
...chills?
haleigh lmao "you said what you said" Nene voice
Give him time and he will be the best artist out there
without a doubt
he already is for me :)
Kanyeislife that's what's wrong with today, people think artist need to be the best or ranked higher then someone else. If he really wanted to he could be on the radio and a sell out. But he actually cares about the music and it doesn't matter if he is the best as long as he keeps making beautiful music
lol yall only posed to watch the dam shit evryone knows this shit is beautiful
DAMN RIGHT
the way that he starts singing just as the train passes is so satisfying
It’s in the middle of 2020 and I’m still here 😫🙌🏼
I love it here.
My favorite place
It's 2024, come back.
Me and one my best friends used to sit in a parking lot after a day's worth of hanging out and would just blast this song and smoke a couple newports when we were 18 or so...man as depressed as I was back then I do miss those days..imma come back and visit you soon dog

The way he went in and out of that falsetto @ 2:27
Vocal ability unmatched.
I can't believe I only found this in 2019
same. 2022 for me. im mad late
Same.2023 for me🥲
sampha is so soulful and creative, his piano composition as well as his lyrical composition sums up to be one of my favorite songs of the year, maybe even of all time. so beautiful. you're gifted, sampha. just know that.
Sampha is just one of the gifted artists. We just gotta keep supporting his work cause it's worth it...
I've been listening to this song for 6 months now. Sampha is so underappreciated, he deserves so many accolades. I think we should just create an award ceremony to appreciate people of his genre.
mad chills
Ah bah vous êtes là vous bande d'enfoirés
Still mad chills 4 year's later
MAD CHILLS indeedy. This is art for sure.
Juuuure les 2 goats sur tout les coups

- - bitch make me
Lucy Matters hopefully we will start supporting independent radio that plays this type of music
Lucy Matters oh my god finally someone called Brymo!......i thought i was the only one who noticed his undeniable talents

Relating to you my friend. Hope youre doing good, times change. There will forever be good and bad days, but theres only positivity in you being here.
This is one of the most beautiful compositions I've heard in a while. Bravo, Sampha
The effect this man's voice has on me!
Love the way this is shot, image of London with the Overground in the background and Sampha's voice over it. Amazing.
i’m screaming crying and throwing up from this piece of art. so much talent.
Just heard this song for the first time today and fell in love, especially with the last minute and a half of the song. So beautiful
this dude got me picking up the piano again.
Cris Mike SAME
Cris Mike damn you must be swole af
Hella swole

Good job♥️🙏
Somewhere you're housing my pain.
deep
This is the first song that I got to listen from Sampha, such a beautiful piece, so full of soul, full of passion. Hoping for more from the man
Love everything about this video. Rooftop, summer in London and music. How I miss these times.
Sampha singlehanded help me through some tough times… he just gets it made me feel seen
Look how Sampha is moving. He hear much much more than only the piano
Yes, the train
@@mugmugmugtattoo haha XD noooo
Correct!
i am so ready for this album.
When is it coming out?
+Dub Snac later in 2016
Pierre Clay official release date is now Feb 3 2017

A few more days

Yup this is gonna be on repeat for some weeks.
I just discovered this album and no one knows me and this this song are literally the best thing I have heard in a while. He's a pure creative, vocals, musicanship, performance, everything is right.
[Verse 1]
Magnetic lights in the blue-high haze
A magnifying glass upon my face
It's so hot I've been melting out here
Made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
Houston can-can-can you hear
And we both had to harness our pain
Close it and hope it decays
Oh in heaven I'm up and away, up and away
[Verse 2]
I loved those mornings, when the suns up
Smoking in the lobby, waiting for my name to pop up (YEAH)
And usually I'd run home, and tuck the issue under
Living with my worries, I didn't really know what that lump was
My luck, it's so hot I've been melting out here
Made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
Houston can-can-can you hear
And we both had to harness our pain
Close it and hope it decays
Oh in heaven I'm up and away, up and away (up and away)
[Verse 3]
You didn't know what the scarecrow is
It's like outer space in his inner ears
And like a blossom you opened up
And you understood why you could not love
It's so hot I've been melting out here
Made out of plastic out here
You touch down in the base of my fears
Houston can-can-can you hear
And we both had to harness our pain
Close it and hope it decays
Oh in heaven I'm up and away, up and away (up and away)
Listening to samphas songs always bring to peace. Nostalgia always hits me with all the good times I've had with my gf and how I grew as a person
Rediscovering sampha getting me emotionally prepared for 2022
Wallo brought me here and I’m hella grateful ! I never realized he was the voice I’ve heard on some of my favorite albums in the past 🤯
Sampha's come to save us from Frank Ocean's cruelty.
Frank's dropping this month
Don't believe his lies.
MrMoonwear from his website boysdontcry.co/blogs/posts/late
Hardly any confirmation.
DON'T BELIEVE HIS LIES.
Friday !
Sampha and Thundercat should make music
pass this around to everybody
Yessss
Yassssss
Sampha gave me the feels
Wow, his voice sounds exactly like the song 😭
Him & The Weeknd have got to be my top for my moods lately. This vibe is just incredible & so soothing after a long day. YES!!
-Amabelle
This is ridiculous. He's a poet. I feel exactly what he's saying. This is my favorite artist. I've been patiently waiting. He's back. And the wait was well worth it. I'm inspired to be all I can be listening to this dude.
2019 & this song's still in my playlist
Cameron Brown 2020.
2023 going on 2024
Sampha's voice is literally how I picture an angel singing
Just beautiful and the musicianship is so well crafted and intuitive, there's humanity here, pure genius
Inez Patino
I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment perfectly worded!
I Keep coming back to this video, this song is just so beautiful and his piano skills are amazing
this is one of my favorite songs of all time
Wooow! Not a million views yet, round of applause for the individuals that still listen and search for REAL music.
That start of the keyboard note at 0:24 is art ❤
Another beautiful artistic "peace" from an amazing Sampha. Thank you.
This song is my favorite off of the album 😍😍😍
This guy is incredible, somehow he’s even better live than in the studio. True artist
THIS SOUNDS WAY BETTER THAN THE ALBUM VERSION💯
no, not really. but its both great
It does
Clearly
Ya it’s much cleaner, voice and piano. Thats all you need👍👍
I actually like the album version..
2021 needs a Sampha return.
who’s here binge watching sampha? ♥️
His choice of songs, lyrics and piano playing it's beautiful oh my God :)
He's just my everything at this point with he's music
Absolutely beautiful. So much emotion, passion, and imagery. I'm so glad I found Sampha.
"You touchdown in the base of my fear" Sampha always been good but after hearing this and Timmy's Prayer he's about to become 1 of my favorite artists if the rest of the album is built like this.
As soon as I heard the end of the piano riff and saw the tube past by I knew this was one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen in my life
That feeling of hearing a great song for the first time.
I keep coming back to this version. I need it in my life.
i love this guy, i hope he gets really big.
His voice is so uniquely beautiful, it’s like an instrument itself. 🥺
When he said, "Slob on my knob, like corn on the cob". 😩😭😍
“It’s so hot I’ve been melting out here, I’m made out of plastic out here” mood
His talent is so captivating-puts you in a trance. Shoutout to The Fader for this.
I keep coming back for this song❤
this entire video is remarkable. shout out to the director and whoever color graded this. beautiful.
i love this version so much
One of the greatest works of art humanity has ever created.
sampha and sza togeather would be dope
futurist 11 fr
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
oh shit!!
so god help me
yoooooooooo
Sampha really up there with the greats. MAJOR
This touches my soul
Can’t go a week without listening to this at least once. So soothing.
just wish he would release new music 😩
That part
How can this guy be so touching with his music?! he's great, I feel him. He's becoming one of my favorites.
Such a unique sound
2021 still coming back to this video, that’s how good sampha is
lyrically sad. literally lovely
I love this performance so much - clears the studio version
There are so many layers: the screeching of passing trains, the rawness of the piano chords and Sampha's vocals - this rendition makes me cry every time 😭💖
2:20 gives me chills every gawd dayum time!
been in love with this man since 2013. this was breathtaking per usual!
Once I heard him on "Something goes right" by SBTRKT a few years ago, I knew he was gonna make great music! His voice is deeply soulful...
my favorite song by Sampha. so beautiful man. the emotion, the vulnerability. this is one true touching record.
That train couldn't have been planned. Went by perfectly at the end.
What a beautiful setting to perform this song. Peaceful, just the pill I need to swallow this morning. Thanks Sampha
This song makes me feel
Man I'm going to pray for this brother.. I looked up the meaning of his lyrics because I sensed a lot of pain in his voice... 😢 many blessings to you brother. Never know what people are going through.
this hits the heart
this version needs to be on Spotify!!
Really hope sheet music gets released for this song, i'd love to learn to play it
💟
Seriously i've been trying to pick it apart by ear but thats such a taxing task
I got the beginning part set.
BRO, Lash that thing out asap please.
Cris Mike do u still have the sheets and can u send them to me??
This song is so beautiful I can't get over it .. wish I had the audio version on TH-cam.

sampha is so amazing. my absolute favorite artist
Best version no Capp ❤️💕
