Emeli Sandé - Clown (Official Music Video) 

2024...who else

I just watched a young lady from London sing this song on American Idol. This is my first time hearing this song in 2024 and both these ladies blew the heck outta this song. My new favorite song for life now. ❤ I'm the oldest sibling and I'm a Gemini as well as hold my family together and many other people in the World! Just hugged my heart this song did.

When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you undestand the lyrics.

The lyrics hit me so hard cos I interpreted it differently. I'm always the one trying to make everyone laugh, be it with my family, my friends, my boyfriend. I never allow them to see me break down and cry. I couldn't, even if I wanted to. I tried before to cry in front of them, it just won't come out. So I swallowed it all in, continue to make them laugh, continue to take care of them while I put on my brave facade, I put on my makeup so that they won't see my pain. I suffered from severed depression and was suicidal several times, yet my dad has no idea. I care for my loved ones too much to let them see what I'm going through.

She deserves a Grammy 😭

Well it’s 2023 and this song was recently introduced to me. This lady’s voice haunts me, i just want to keep playing her songs on Spotify over and over. Does she have a bad song - not to my ears. Visually stunning. Voice of angels. I am sorry I wasn’t introduced 10 years ago. Deserving success for certain.

This song is a rebellion against authority. Perfectly written and composed. ❣️

In a school talent show a girl sang this song and she had the most beautiful voice in existence, it’s been four years and I still think of her performance that day

Never be anyone's clown, never sell your soul,stand up for who you are.. beautiful song 💕⚘

Please never sell your soul. God is everything. please

Strong meaning in the song. She wants to be paid what she deserves. She's a great artist😍. You ain't no clown honey

2020, and the song still has its strong essence in beauty. :)

Todays music industry....filth,, they suck people dry, then drop them.We should all start donating to help great future talent...this is my all time fave video and song, what a fabulous talented lady......she was spot on.

alright we got Adele back.. now I'm waiting for Emeli and Frank

Going into 2022 still listening... she has a beautiful voice....

These lyrics still hit me at 30 like they did when I was 15.

One of the best songs of the decade.

There's only one thing that bothers me about Emeli Sande. It's the fact that I'm American, and how indignant and ashamed I feel about how few--if any--people here have even heard of this talented lady with such a good voice.

This song reminds me of my Nana she died 7 yrs ago and this was the song that was playing when I was on the way to the hospital before she died, it breaks my heart to hear it and I always feel a presence when I listen to it Love you Nana ❤️😢

everyone: “I’m here for dalton harris” me: “I’m here for emeli sandé.” 🤍✨the most beautiful song

Has anyone realised that since she made this song, she hasn't been mainstream again, like there's nothing really said about her again. I guess she didn't sign at the end...

This deserves so many more views. Such a good message....

I guess it's funnier from where you're standing 'Cause from over here I missed the joke Clear the way for my crash landing I've done it again Another number for your notes I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate I'd be patient if I had the time I could stop and answer all of your questions As soon as I find out How I can move from the back of the line I'll be your clown Behind the glass Go 'head and laugh 'Cause it's funny I would too if I saw me I'll be your clown On your favourite channel My life's a circus circus Round in circles Selling out tonight I'd be less angry if it was my decision And the money was just rolling in If I had more than my ambition I'll have time for 'Please' I'll have time for 'Thank you' As soon as I win I'll be your clown Behind the glass Go 'head and laugh 'Cause it's funny I would too if I saw me I'll be your clown On your favourite channel My life's a circus circus Round in circles Selling out tonight From a distance my choice is simple From a distance I can entertain So you can see me I put make-up on my face But there's no way you can feel it From so far away I'll be your clown Behind the glass Go 'head and laugh 'Cause it's funny I would too if I saw me I'll be your clown On your favourite channel My life's a circus circus Round in circles I'm selling out tonight Thank you for reading. I record covers of popular songs. I appreciate it if you listen to my channel! 😊

If you are listening to this song in 2018.. You are worth it .. God bless you❤

this song healed a lot of pain for me

This should have been the official song for "Joker"

2024 American Idol reminded me that I would listen to ur entire cd for hours and hours even happily married I connected to YOU EMILE SANDÈ

I’ve always loved Emile Sande. Dalton did her song justice. Love both versions

This got played at my Dad's funeral 3 years ago, I will always remember this song

This song expresses any oppression from the music industry, relationships and life. True essence of a complete song 🎵

This song is amazing, i watched my mother in critical care after lung transplant. Watched her behind a glass wall and wasnt allowed on the otherside. Made me cry so so hard Very sad memory Rip mum x

A very under rated singer.

I came here when X-factor announced that Dalton would sing it. And again I'm in awe of his song choice and what this wonderful, so conscious and wise young man wants to tell the world...I hope he will be protected because the industry hasn't treated people well that wanted to bring love, light and peace to world through their music.... And he actually reminds me in many things of M.J. and Prince...

As a grade 8 kid I loved this woman to death and still do. I always told my friends she will win a Grammy. Even tho she hasn't but in my heart she has

I love this song. As a 61 year old I now see this video as the youths future, having someone's boot of your face and making choices that are not good for you. Emeli is not only beautiful, she is very talented and this video speaks volumes.

Where is this beautiful lady with such a beautifull voice hiding🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Thank u Dalton for singing this beautiful song 😍😍😍😍😍😎

Thanks to Dalton for introducing me to new and amazing music every week 😘

Emeli Sande is an amazing singer and the first time I heard this song, I thought to myself "this is an absolutely beautiful songstress singing an amazing song" and I have loved it ever since. I saw her in concert back in 2015 and she sang this along with a list of her other big hits and the crowd was singing along with her throughout it. The room was filled with so much emotion and concentrated so much on her performance during it that it seem like there was total silence in a stadium filled with over 5000 people and when it ended she was crying on stage and got a standing ovation for it.

It’s April 2022 and I still enjoy every word and note of this beautiful song.

To me this seems like the meaning is to the music industry, buying artists souls and then working them hard. Until they deny it and then take all the privileges away. When she signs it's like her souls been sold and that all they care about is the money and her selling out shows. The music industry can be a dark place but artists like her are able to show us what it's like. Peace and love to everyone, never let anyone buy your soul. ❤️❤️

guess it's funnier from where you're standing Cause from over here I missed the joke Clear the way for my crash landing I've done it again Another number for your notes I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate I'd be patient if I had the time I could stop and answer all of your questions As soon as I find out How I can move from the back of the line [Chorus:] I'll be your clown Behind the glass Go 'head and laugh Cause it's funny I would too if I saw me I'll be your clown On your favourite channel My life's a circus circus Round in circles I'm selling out tonight I'd be less angry if it was my decision And the money was just rolling in If I had more than my ambition I'll have time for 'Please' I'll have time for 'Thank you' As soon as I win [Chorus] From a distance my choice is simple From a distance I can entertain So you can see me I put make-up on my face But there's no way you can feel it From so far away [Chorus]

This song touches me deeply, I feel exactly like that, when it comes to my family, and how I think they see me.

the way she sings about her life as a singer and coming up is jsut mesmorising. she brings light to the industry in a elegant way.

I’ve been thinking about what this song actually means, it’s a hard one because it embodies so many emotions, but the one thing they all have in common is the feeling of failing but having to move forward with the course of life. It’s sad but also so beautiful because people are complicated, we never know why someone behaves the way they do and ultimately we’re all fighting a battle to make something of ourselves, even when we don’t like the choices we make, even with all life’s twists and turns. Just beautiful!

for some reason this song reminds me of Amy Winehouse and how the media chose to make fun of everything she did especially her addiction.

November 2019 ❤️ showing some heartbreak love x

The MESSAGE of this piece, Gosh my heart...this is beautiful

Just had a gastrectomy due to cancer but I am free of cancer now but still feeling low ,listening to you,r voice makes me feel better ,you are such a beautiful person inside and out thankyou for you,r beautiful music xxxx

This song is so beautiful ♥

Emeli Sandé's music expresses herself as a formidable singer and I love her so much that I had to download all 4 of her albums. This woman knows her craft and OMG, that powerful voice of hers is a joy in my ears.❤️

2020, and i still can't get enough of this song

Well done to her for not selling her soul to the devil in exchange for fame and money . That's what she is singing about .

A song is even more powerful when you have your own interpretation of the lyrics (based on your own life) This song keeps me strong..

Found a new, favorite artist. *o*

2022 and I can't take it off replay!!!!! simply breath-taking!!!!!!

Я здесь из-за Софьи Льорет (Голос. Дети) Раньше об этой певице ничего не знала. Прекрасная песня.

Emeli Sande and Ed Sheeran are killing it in UK and finally bringing it to the states and there blowing up more

Dalton Harris brought me here 😩 Such an amazing song!

The most underrated artist

I listened to this when my daughter was in Foster care for 2 years, it explained perfectly my battle with social services and contact with my daughter. I fought hard and got her back, but this song takes me back to a dark place.

I listen to this when it feels like I'm losing

I just made friend this year, in my tenth grade year. I used to be bullied all the time. This song makes my heart soar, to think others share the same pain, and that we can all relate to each other, and support each other, either it be via person, love, or music. Thank you, so much for singing this song Emeli.

The meaning of this song can be attributed to the "Song Contest" shows. Simply because they make aspiring singers sign contracts and force them to sing songs that the singer doesn't want to sing. An example is Zoe Alaxander, she was told by the producers to sing a P!nk song, but she didn't want to sing a P!nk song, then the judges asked her to sing a different song, and the backstage team made the song sound off key, which made her sing it off key too. She was mad about it, she got angry and shouted at the judges for making her sing a song she didn't want to and the second song purposely sound off key. The judges pretended they didn't make her sing anything, eventhough they clearly knew about it. She became a laughing stock because of it, when in reality, if a lot of people were in that position, you'd be angry to find out that your sole purpose was just for a little drama, than actually be appreciated for your talent.

Hey Emeli. I'm ashamed to say I haven't found your music sooner. Unbelievable beauty in your voice. This song is incredible. Hope you're well.

Dalton never fails to deliver.

'Go ahead and laugh cos its funny, I would too if I saw me.' Man that line cut me up, now I need to buy this song.

What a voice, just perfect emotion in each note.

If you are listening to this in 2021 during covid, be grateful to be alive.

Dolton Harris is a super Megaforce of a singer. I won't have known this song had he not sang it. You are blessed and highly favored.

I'm sure I'm late but I'm loving this girl!!!!

Everyone interprets music differently. However, only people who understand how the music industry works would know exactly what the lyrics of this song mean.

Just heard an American idol contestant sing your song. Love your voice

Anyone here in 2019? 😭♥️

Thanks dalton for bringing me to this beautiful song ❤️

Wow - that was so powerful - you could see the pressure she was under to sell her soul but the pen is mightier than the sword. She knows what she is singing about in this video and you can hear it her beautiful voice. "Success is impatient" that really struck a chord for me. Im stunned. Dont be a clown for anyone elses amusement unless that is your hearts desire of course.

Who listenning this song in june of 2020? I discovered this song in pilates class.

I feel the for the many artists in the industry that are used as pawns, as puppets, as clowns. The industry is really dark and full of terrors.

I don't every want her to sell shes a wonderful artist. Her music makes people feel something, instead of just a good beat and catchy lyrics it has meaning it makes you think about things in different ways. Love you Emeli Sande please dont ever become anything the media wants you to be.

This was my mother's song on her funeral.. miss her every day ❤

I know 50 million views is a lot of views but in terms of music it isn’t a huge amount and that makes me sad. This song, and video is pure art.

To the people who know this song is about them my heart goes out to you all ❤

one of the most revolutionary songs as a South African young man who's seeking not only justice but liberation for this country. South Africa loves you Emeli

For me this song represents someone who has trusted a person they loved before and had their heart broken and then met someone else fallen in love, told themselves not to trust them but trusted them anyway and then had their heart broken again and now just accepts this their life. They are the clown who everyone else just uses for their own entertainment.

It’s hard when your the one people judge until you show your true colours And prove them wrong to all of the questions. Hard hitting song and powerful message We are all someone’s clown Until your truly captivated by one’s grace and true potential ❤

This lady , where ever she may be has left a beautifull legacy. X

When everyone is like "DALTON BROUGHT ME HERE" and then I'm like .... I've known about this song since it came out and I bought the CD 2 times (1 for me and 1 for my mum ... My mum ended up stealing mine 😂) But I'm glad more people now know about this beautiful lady and her amazing talent!

2021, still one of the most beautiful sad songs ever

Still listening 2024 ❤ truly inspirational amazing wonderful person.

What stunning song which I have only just heard tonight. How on earth can 5k people give this a thumbs down? Utter madness and disrespect to a wonderful singing talent.

"D A L T O N H A R R I S" from X Factor UK bring me here. Good voices with good story.

I, as others that commented before me recently caught a WONDERFUL cover of your song. I had to look it up and here I found YOU, Beautiful in every way! The Voice, The look, the whole package! What a WONDERFUL song and you did it superbly! I have no idea how I missed that over the years. I added it to my "Songs for the Broken Hearted" playlist..

Emilie is one of the greatest of my times her lyrics and emotional contention to everyday people is just so right.xx

Omw this woman is an amazing artist!! Did she won any awards yet?!! Just love her. One hit after another.

I am very heartbroken an i heard this song and trust me, it bought most of the hurt out. She is very talented.

Just found this for the 1st time... Wow, what did I just listen to? Amazing... this is an experience of take away lirics.

A true visionary. We are all about to go thru this same exact thing and worse. Never surrender!! Love ya girl. Stand your ground always!!!!

Ok Actually Sam Bailey made me fall inlove with this song, i never knew it till Sam killed it on X Factor... Nice Song

The more I listen to her, the more I'm becoming a fan, she sings beautiful songs with that beautiful voice

Cant believe I've never heard this song before, it was my first visit to Oregon and outside the Portland art museum in the park I was waiting for the museum to open and a woman who seemed to be homeless opened up a guitar case and began to sing this, she sounded just like Emeli, what a beautiful sad song.

Emeli is amazing I miss hearing her in the radio
