I love how she starts off singing softly, then gets into her raspy Amy Winehouse bluesy voice just before the chorus, then back to soft in the chorus. It’s just so satisfying to listen to 😍🎼👌🏻X
@@sarahrichards6001 she definitely wasn’t here before Amy Winehouse. Winehouse was nominated for the Mercury Music prize before Cilmi was in her teens.
Unbelievable that this song was released almost 15 years ago! Still remember it like yesterday when the song was seemingly on repeat on radio stations or anywhere you went in 2008 here in the UK. Still a great tune. Great singer!
I was bed-bound after a nasty accident for the first few months of 2008. I had the radio on a lot, and this, along with the Noisettes (Never Forget You) and Annie Lennox (Shining Light) were on heavy rotation. Not that bad a thing really!
Still plays regularly here in NZ. Lately the radio stations have realised nobody wants to listen unless they go back to the 2000s bangers, nothing released in the 2010s comes close to the UK R&B movement that came and went way too quickly imo
Yeah baby it is isn't it a pretty good song baby yeah come on yeah let's get down tonight oh baby oh YEAH DANCE right Baby yeah make me crazy real bright the stars don't come out at night only I do by the fire light because the stars are in my eyes to see you so high in the midnight sky and that's you my baby my Moon shining on me your moonlight.
One of my friends from the UK shared this video today. First time ever hearing her. She sounds like a mix of Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones. Anyother voice I could listen to all day long.
I went to Europe summer of 2008 and this song was everywhere. I come home and don’t here it anywhere. Love this song, don’t know why it wasn’t popular in America.
My brother has been searching for this video and song for several years now. He was just completely at a loss looking for it. The combination of her beauty and the song itself just blew him away. He searched high and low, asked people on reddit, the whole nine yards. I'm happy to say that 5 minutes ago he finally found it after about 9 years of searching and he is as happy as a hog in slop.
Eu sempre achava que o nome dessa música era "Oh, Watching me", mas aí pesquisei no TH-cam e descobri que o título era " Sweet About Me", essa música fez parte da minha adolescência; agora só me restou as recordações
OMFG!!!! FINALLY! One month ago I suddenly felt the urge to listen to this music, and I simply couldn't remember the name. And today, [again, suddenly] the phrase "Sweet about me" rang in my mind and I immediately typed it. Sooo happy! added to my 'Favorites' playlist!
@@madmeister407 There is no way that is a 16-year-old girl singing in the video, unluckiest genetics of all time or what. Looks like she is in her late 20s.
Gabriella was only 16 when she did this, what a talent. It was used in a TV ad in the UK, with people walking on the ceiling, as everything was upside down.
The 2000's had the best music hits growing up. This song was sure my favorite, when Gabriella sings this. It has that steady blusey vibe of Duffy and Amy Winehouse. You actually have to be a good singer to hit their notes and Gabriella was a natural
90s kids say, the 90s had the best music hits growing up. 80s kids say, the 80s had the best music hits growing up. What do 70s kids say? Huh? Get my point? You are just nostalgic. We all know, the 2000s sucked when we were living them back then. It's just nostalgia.
@@marcor6284 relax, every person has a right to express their likings of music regardless of decade. Obviously if you were brought up in the 70s. You'd say that's the best decade of music which is fine and natural. Point is, each generation had their time with music. Just like people liking 2020s music now
@@hendrickhendrick7034 What really annoys me is the fact, that the same people who claimed, that "this was the time!!!", on the other hand were the same people who complained how much this times sucked when they actually were "the times".
This is song gives me so much nostalgia it used to be on the radio all the time. Even tho I didn’t know what she said since English isn’t my native language I absolutely adored this song.
I past literally 10 years looking for this song. I used to hear when I was a child in a AMV here in TH-cam. But the channel got deleted, so I never learned the name of the song. I'm so happy right now! I used to watch that AMV everyday, so I learned all the melody. But my first language isn't english, so as a child I didn't understand the lyrics, and couldn't search by this in later years. Thank you Gabriella Cilmi, your song is a mark in my childhood!! I will hear it so many times from now on!!!
Hard to believe it was this difficult to find this song considering I had a huge crush on her as a teenager. Fuckin had to google "song in which a small woman ties up a man upside down" Needless to say I had to go through a lot of porn.
It’s amazing that at the time that this song came out Gabriella Cilmi was only about 16. In my opinion she looks about 25, which is interesting because that’s roughly her current age (she’s 27 I think). As much as I really love and adore this song, I do wish that it had an extra verse in it, just to add a bit more spice. However it’s still amazing and it’s such a pity that Cilmi’s other music never really hit it off and she’s barely been heard from again since
Quick story.. 3 years ago I got married, although divorcing now,but then at my wedding I hired a group of musicians ,of which I asked specifically 2 songs,one of the King Elvis and one that was this song. She destroyed both songs so I took over,the bride,and sang those and some more. Let me tell you,it really became a party when I sang this and I adore it. Before during and after my wedding ❤ so,thanks ,Gabriela❤ God bless you and your sounds,girl❤
OMG I finally found this song !! 😵 I first heard it during my work experience at a retail shoe shop 10 years ago !! I been searching for this song for years !! Typing nothing is going to stop me loving you haha And Damn she is beautiful ! 👌 with those eyes ! 👀 and that beautiful voice !! ❤️💛💚💙💜💖💘💝💟💞❣
Oh god, that's the bane of the workplace! Songs you would normally adore start to grate on you because unlike your friends you hear them twice an hour for 8 hours every day. I loved one of Ellie Goulding's first songs 'Starry Eyed' back in something like 2011 (ish) until I was hearing it twice an hour on the radio of the kitchen I worked in. I eventually went slightly mad and threatened to stop serving Piri piri chicken unless the goth kid who cleaned the dishes was allowed to put one of his shit CD's on.
I like this thing of mixing Old Soul,Reggae and Jazz...I don't really know how this is called or labeled, but it's something done especially by women (Duffy ,Lilly Allen, Amy Winehouse, Natasha Bedingfield, Adele...) and some men (Michael Bubblée and sometimes Robbie Williams).
Totally agree! Even like Estelle, Alicia Keys, Amy MacDonald and Corinne Bailey Rae are also incredible, too. Also, Amy and Lily are my TWO QUEENS !!! 😍
Was in woolies last night and heard this song which took me way back.. Had to Google who the artist was and couldn't believe she was from Melbs where I live. Such a unique and exotically beautiful talant. You deserve to be far more successful Gabriella.
I listened to this song constantly when I was younger, and I finally, through the pure chance in TH-cam's recommended videos, found it again. It brought back some sweet memories and great times, thanks TH-cam.

Out of no where this song got stuck in my head. And suddenly It was a Tuesday night my parents always did groceries that day. Our parents were strict and wouldn't let us use the computers. My two brothers hacked into the windows XP computer. My other two sisters would play songs. This song was just released. We would sing this song on the top of our lungs. We had the most toxic home but these memories are the most treasured.

A lady of 16 has such a sultry, whiskey-drinking, singing quality. Harkens back to the 1930-50 era. If this is the quality at such a young age, then this precocious talent will truly be magnificent as she matures & gains mastery of her talent. I hope this potential is realised in its fullest but I despair that this rare & beautiful talent will be commercialised below her true extent. No doubt Gabriella Cilmi will leave us some jewels along her way
Well she did, she just didn't go the super-star route. She sings and writes songs in London as a studio artist. She might have wanted a more simple life, but I don't really know. However I know she hasn't given up music.

This used to be a hockey game hit back in the day and strangely is still one of the more commonly played songs in the stadiums during breaks all the way over in Europe
@@evertonporter7887 It truly feels different in the stadium. Like it gets tuned in when starting a break and the players slowly start skating off the ice, spinning a few extra circles sometimes. It just looks hella cool tbh
Love songs like this where you forget they exist but finding them again is just the best
Totally agree!

Exactly. 😂👍🏻😄

Her second voice, the bridge voice "if theres a lesson to be learned ... " is so awesome!

I'll tell you something that I've found
That the world's a better place
When it's upside down, boy
And if there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
Oh when you're playing with desire
Don't come running to my place
When it burns like fire, boy
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Blue, blue, blue waves, they crash
As time goes by so hard to catch
Too, too smooth, ain't all that
Why don't you ride on my side of the tracks
And if there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
I'll tell you something that I've found
That the world's a better place
When it's upside down, boy
And if there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, though
When you're playing with desire
Don't come running to my place
When it burns like fire, boy
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Caroline Michalopoulou this should be the first comment that we can read!!
thankyou Caroline for writing these lyrics down here.
Thank you!
Thx from 2k18
Thank you!
If this isn’t one of the most seemingly effortlessly suave clips ever produced, then I’m not here 😎
This song is so good on the ears!
This is actually a pretty underrated song.. Always happy to find this 1 again
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe
Out of no where this song got stuck in my head. And suddenly It was a Tuesday night my parents always did groceries that day. Our parents were strict and wouldn't let us use the computers. My two brothers hacked into the windows XP computer. My other two sisters would play songs. This song was just released. We would sing this song on the top of our lungs. We had the most toxic home but these memories are the most treasured.
You, watching me
Hanging by a string this time
Don't, easily
The climax of the perfect life
And you, watching me
Hanging by a string this time
Don't, easily
My smile's worth a hundred lies
And if there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
I'll tell you something that I've found
That the world's a better place
When it's upside down, boy
And if there's lessons to be learned
I'd rather get my jamming words in first, so
Oh when you're playing with desire
Don't come running to my place
When it burns like fire, boy
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me
Ooh, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Blue, blue, blue waves, they crash
As time…
She has such distinctive soul voice…really young too…💖
I heard this song years ago, never found it again, now I have finally found it, great song!
This has got such a great vibe....
She needs a comeback "quarantine" concert. She even agreed to do it but we need to spread the word.
Huge! Feminist lyrics! Gorgeous music & great execution by Gabriela! Bravissimo!!!
Nem faz esforço pra cantar de tão boa que é, voz maravilhosa .
Incrível
Maravilhosa❤️
OMG I think I hear this song for the rest of my live her voice is amazing.
Such a voice... powerful with a rich timbre. It's truly amazing that
A lady of 16 has such a sultry, whiskey-drinking, singing quality. Harkens back to the 1930-50 era. If this is the quality at such a young age, then this precocious talent will truly be magnificent as she matures & gains mastery of her talent. I hope this potential is realised in its fullest but I despair that this rare & beautiful talent will be commercialised below her true extent. No doubt Gabriella Cilmi will leave us some jewels along her way
I’m addicted to this song love it!! ♥️♥️♥️
2020 Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I'm listening this in 1955
Still as lovely as the first time I heard it years ago ☺️
The joys of being a 2006 baby! I love this so much me and my mam used to sing it when I was little! :))
Gabriela is the finest artist we have received! she is blooming!!! Cool video……
Why didnt she continue? Would love to have seen more of her singing eg Symmetry, On a mission, Vicious love. Extremely talented.
Well she did, she just didn't go the super-star route. She sings and writes songs in London as a studio artist. She might have wanted a more simple life, but I don't really know. However I know she hasn't given up music.
Unfortunately she ended being a one hit wonder
You, watching me
Hanging by a string this time
Don't, easily
The climax of the perfect life
And you, watching me
Hanging by a string this time
Don't, easily

+++++++++++ thanks for that!
this is true quality perfection listen to that double bass bliss
Check out her latest singles 'Ruins' and 'The Water' too!,
Oh my gosh, I completely forgot about this song from like 10 yrs ago. What a great blast from the past!
15 years or more now. Time flies.
As a young boy, I felt she was for me the most beautiful woman in the world
As a man, I'm sure now, she is just amazing
She was only 15 here, she's 27 now. It caused quite a stir at the time.
I remember 2007 when I went to school, listened this music on the bus, she is one hit star. I was surprised how young she was.
And black voice.
Música de primeiríssima, adoro! Gabriela come to Brazil (asap), pleeeease!
1:00 Nueve jingle
Class act...great job to have co-written this song when she was only 16...Gabriella is so talented..🤐
ONE OF THE SPECIAL SONGS IN OUR LIFETIME
Going through songs from my childhood and loving every moment of it. 🤣👏
SHE'S BEEN UNLUCKY AS HER TALENT IS OBVIOUSLY HIGH QUALITY

muito boa música mesmo
It was recorded over 2 days, all the shots of her standing were the first day, and all the close-up shots of her in the chair were filmed the next day :)
Que voz maravilhosa! Música contagiante com um toque de nostalgia e anos 70.
ASSISTINDO DO BRASIL!!
I just heard this in the supermarket. I forgot this song when existed. Now it's stuck in my head.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe

i love this song, it has a load of subtelty behind it a load of others wouldn't be able to pull off without overstepping the line between too much edge.
Love this. Such a catchy tune. 😊

This used to be a hockey game hit back in the day and strangely is still one of the more commonly played songs in the stadiums during breaks all the way over in Europe
I heard this song quite a few times when shopping at my local supermarket... it's almost in the easy listening category.
@@evertonporter7887 It truly feels different in the stadium. Like it gets tuned in when starting a break and the players slowly start skating off the ice, spinning a few extra circles sometimes. It just looks hella cool tbh
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE AGES IM SO HAPPY
+Joyce Lamar So have I and I have just heard it on the radio (which i rarely listen to). Coincidence :D
Joyce M same
Illes Hurkecz exactly same :DD
