Charlie Simpson - Thorns (Unplugged) 

he's only 27, has been in a huge boy-band, a great post-hardcore band, and has made one of the worlds best solo careers in the history of music, and he is so unknown, it's just wrong.

This is my favourite song of yours ever. Come back for this. You don't need James and Mat babe. Your voice is a million times better❤️

I am absolutely LOVING these unplugged versions of Charlie's album tracks! His voice is absolutely gorgeous and his song writing is flawless. So glad I found this.

He plays the drums, the guitar and sings at the same time. Charlie is definitely perfect. I'm waiting for the day he will come in France or Belgium.

I can't believe how nice the harmonies sound in between the versus and choruses.

all of his songs are so beautiful.

My favourite song you ever did. Hearing this song for the first time in a long time and realising I’m now older than you were in this video, I’m now thinking how much my life has changed in that time. Thanks for being the backing track to my life

those harmonies are lovely

Whether it's RU-vid, Itunes or my phone, all I can listen to is Charlie Simpson. No other artist could sound how he does.

I prefer his voice in these videos. I don't know why it just seems so smooth, and it compliments the harmonies extremely well. In my eyes he can't put a foot wrong

Charlie Simpson has now shown that he can do anything!

young pilgrim is THE best album i have ever listened to, this guy ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ is a true genius, he deserves more credit and he's a frickin god, i mean come on, just look at him

Charlie, you are freaking awesome. I listened to Busted when i was a kid, I love all the work done with Fightstar and it is still one of my favourite bands... And now I just discovered all your songs by your own. You deserve much more than the fame you have now. I hope people realize about it soon dude, I really hope so :)

Couldn't of said it any better myself. He was absolutely beautiful live.

I love that Charlie's band are such brilliant multi-instrumentalists. It really makes a difference since they can all perform the songs in different styles.

He is just amazing!

1 second in, and I think I just died from mind-blowing beauty.

love the oobadoadoooaa bits

can't wait to hear this live in 2 weeks! Makes me cry!

this song is simply beautiful

I actually think this version is even better than the album version. Incredible and stunning

im in love with his voice, he is such a talented artist and deserves a lot more credit then he receives!

he was my childhood crush, i literally loved him when i was like 7 and kiss his picture everynight aw

I've never loved someone's music as much as yours. Touches my soul, man. Thank you!

Love both versions of thorns.❤ Charlie you're amazing artist so talented in every way of music!🥰 Biggest fan of you since 2001💞

Love this song... it's absolutely perfect.

I'm surprised that Charlie is so unknown with music this good and thinking back to how big busted used to be

This song sounds even better unplugged

This is one of my favourite tracks off the album, and this unplugged version is so beautiful

unplugged or not this man sounds perfect and his voice is beautiful x

"best solo careers in the history of music, and he is so unknown"

Love him! Especially live! :)

This is so amazing, oh my god.

i love this song!! and i love charlie music :)

I think this is my favorite one out of them all. =)

Loving the "bada baduuuuuu - aah" parts! Amazing Charlie, AMAZING ♥

oh god his voice! his face! his hair! so fit!

but at least the fact that he's so unknown yet still continues to make songs and albums proves his love for great music and that he's not doing it for fame or money

I hope everyone else gives recognition to all the musicians, not just Charlie. They work beautifully in-sync. Something that many people in today's world have trouble appreciating. Artistry at it's finest :)

Charlie Simpson add this live version to Spotify :-)

Fucking hell. I'm so in love with his voice.

wow, what a great song. love it.

OMFG he is playing the drums @ the same time!!

Such a beautiful voice

Im 18 and Charlie is like my biggest inspriation, i would love to meet him one day, im also a singer songwriter, and ive followed charlie since his youngest year's with busted and always thought his voice was amazing. I have my own RU-vid Channel, and maybe one day if this world give's me a chance i can meet charlie, and maybe play a song together. My heart would love for that to happen.

Carry on charlie it makes me change

Perfection.

@SwampSatan I love Charlie, but I wouldn't say that he is 'so unknown.' He was in Busted after all and everyone knew who Busted were. I think the sad thing is that a lot of people have forgotten about him ever since Busted broke up, or didn't want to know because he was the one who left the band, which led to the separation.

I love your voice!! ♥ It's perfect

his voice is incredible.

sooo gooood!

amazing..

In a way I dont want him to start up again with Fightstar coz Im loving these solo tracks, cant wait to see them performed live when I go see him, However I'm buzzing for some new Fightstar songs in the future!! Watta guy!!

beautiful

YOU ARE SO DAMN RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!

I loved Busted! Thought his career was gone but jesus, how wrong was I... BEAUTIFUL

The best music to listen when I draw

Heroic

The songwriting is fucking incredible.

Isn't he a God ? Guys...he is.

Che meraviglia 👍

I LOVE YOUR SONGS AND I LOVE YOU TOO.

OMG beautiful

Can't believe I didn't know about this album on till now

He's kicking a bass drum. It's equivalent to tapping ones foot.

Oh! The Harmonies

i agree

Ive always said (with the exception of him being in a boy band) that he is England's City & Colour

@DeeLiification That's really cute, never give up on your dreams! They will soon come true! x

coool

I'm pretty sure they played Pop-Rock or just Pop, but i an interview they clearly state (especially Charlie) that they are not a boy band.

I'll be seeing you tomorrow, Charlie!

They never wanted to become a boy band or a kids band, they just ended up that way. Why do you think Charlie left?

What were they then? A rock band...? A boy band is easily the best way to describe Busted.

Thankyou james arthur for putting me on to Charlie

every one post this song or others of his on you face book and twitter to get charlie more known !! :D

He's not the only one.

This guy had me at hello.

I think he said that he didn't like the pop music they made or something, but anyway doesn't matter anymore.

when is fightstar coming back ! i do like his solo album too but i miss fightstar :(

but he is not that unknown ..just that not many people know him as charlie simpson now ! and ctually they should cause he is really good .

Has he made any songs that are arpegiatted similar to his Fightstar covers of 'Battlefield' and 'Vincent'?

@MsAntonina11 Brisol uni, Anson rooms. SO THERE

Only unknown to those you don't deserve to know him

@PoisonPerfume907 i think we both got that feeling- he leaves me breathless everytime!

first time i heard this i thought how bad the lyrics were, but now I love them. weird right

look at the size of that dislike bar, tells you something about the song

@Bracken1492 me too ;))

I can't cope

Is keyboard man the guitarist that sang in Fighstar? Looks similar....

It almost looks like hes looking round at 1.02 for people judging him, obviously its not but thats how id feel if i was singing, i love singing his songs but im too scared to put them on youtube:(!

he is fucking cool!

Such a husky voice, so sexy ;P hehe love his unplugged versions.

If you don't like this... I will fight you.

I love how you can hear the click of the bass pedal makes it sound soo bare and raw :3 P.s EYEEEEERBOOOOOOOOOOWS are sexy :3

i wouldn't say 52,000+ is that unknown but i understand what you mean aha

"That was good for me!"

I don't really know why, but his voice kind of remind me of Bon Iver.

Likewise.

@haggiss How about you?
