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
Pure talent... No auto tune, gimmicks or silly dancers. Just when you think thought REAL TALENT was dead Sam Smith delivers and incredible live performance. Just brilliant!!
you can hear the pain in his voice... i think he’s so inspirational and one of the few truly talented and down to earth artists out there. he puts so much soul into every single one of his songs and performances. gives me goosebumps, really

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 !
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?
[W] I had a good friend whom I met in September last year. We were on great talking terms, but one mistake made was that I had feelings for her, and she was attached. I decided to go cold turkey because I felt it was the best way to end the feelings but it only caused her to be hurt, and confused. I just want you to know that I'm so sorry for what I did and believe everything I did was genuine from the start and I just want us to be close again. [X] This song really perfectly describes me right now; it is my anthem right now because it resonates with me so much. Thank you SS.
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

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
Both are doing great.
