Sam Smith - Lay Me Down (Live At The Apollo Theater) 

The fact that the audience is being silent only to enjoy every single second of his flawless voice, shows you how heart warming is his performance on stage.

He's one of the rare artists who sound much better in a live performance than the studio recording.

quarantine has me going through my old playlist...

This is literally the best live performance I’ve ever heard in my life. FLAWLESS.

His vocal control is out of this world

No difference between studio and live. He's so raw and clean. I love it so much.

My mom died last night, i had to dressed her up, she was cold and stiff, with a sutil smile, and we had to wait till the curfew from FUCKING COVID19 was lift in the morning, to take her straight to the cemetery, no mortician no funeral, no family, no hugs no kisses no friends no priests, no words. Just me crying and my prayers. Among us ( my brother, son, father) only the forensic doctor and 2 undertakers. I always loved this song, just popped into my head, now that I’m lonely and locked up with my kids... never in a million years would think I would see a face while listening it. And I see you mom😭 i laid down next to you, when you were asleep the other day and today when you were dead. I hope God receives you in heaven. I love you so much.

The control and consistency in his vocals. When the spectator has to look twice to figure out weather its live or the record. Now that's music and talent .

He has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard...

HOLY SHIT. i thought this was the fucking recording. MY GOD. HE IS AN ANGEL.

Yes I do, I believe That one day I will be, where I was Right there, right next to you And it`s hard, the days just seem so dark The moon, the stars, are nothing without you Your touch, your skin, where do I begin? No words can explain, the way I’m missing you The night, this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside These tears, they tell their own story You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling’s overwhelming, they`re much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you’re alright I’ll take care of you, And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight I’m reaching out to you Can you hear my call? (Who`s to say you won`t hear me?) This hurt that I’ve been through I’m missing you, missing you like crazy You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling’s overwhelming, they`re much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you’re alright I’ll take care of you And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side Can I lay by your side, next to you, you...

In this generation, yeah he is one of those respected and well-talented singer/song writer along with Adele. Simple songs, not too many beat, yet meaningful.

I almost forgot this was live! He's that good!

why does it look like hes so effortless when he sings... his voice is perfection! my veins would be popping out of my neck! #bae

I'm on a Sam Smith live marathon. The Rona had me going back to real artists

7 years of madness, I still feel my teenager days. One of the best artist

Sam smith is so talented. He sounds exactly the same as the studio version which is rare for most artist now days. Dear Sam u just gained a new fan! Excellent voice. It never gets old

No autotune and still reach that note .... wow...

My husband encountered the Holy Spirit during their devotional prayer and touched his shoulder and said unto him, "GET PEOPLE"... Tears on his eyes started to flow without noticing he is crying already and he open his eyes and try to catch who touched him but no one near him. He thought he is crazy for thinking that weird thing but he asked the Lord to guide him whatever purposes He wanted to my him and he surrendered himself to Jesus. Now, the transformation I saw, that my children and I started to have our devotional prayer and learning to read the bible and listen to the words of the Lord with the leadership of hubby. Before, I seldom read the bible and even my children as well. I also noticed my husband is excited to attend mass to worship Jesus Christ, never happened before after our marriage, I was the one always reminding them to go to catholic church and attend Sunday mass... Until this moment we can not tell what is the plan of our Lord for my husband, it is a huge responsibilities and lots of sacrifices to face and even rejection but we offer this services to the Lord above and we believe in Him... Thank you Lord for keeping us always in our side even we tried to do our own ways.

We want this Sam back!

THAT VOICE CAME FALLING DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND LANDED ON SAM SMITH

Wow, i'm impressed.. the same voice in the video and live great voice

I didn't realize this was live until I heard the cheers. Wow. Sam Smith is simply an amazing musician and artist.

I remember when my grandparents passed away, this song really got me through it. Come to find out a few years later it got my sister through it too… this song will always be apart of me and my family 🥲

How can his live vocals be better than the recorded version?!!!

I took care of my mom for a very long time in her old age and she passed away in dec. of 2013' this song hits me in my heart & soul so hard because I miss laying by her side in the mornings and talking to her even if she did not understand because of her Alzheimer's disease..Thank you Sam Smith for this wonderful heart warming song

3:46 that falsetto whooo still sends goosebumps salute to you mr. Smith

I'm a grown ass man and this song brings tears to my eyes Everytime I hear it. You can feel the emotion in his voice. Powerful beautiful song

i prefer the live version of this song over the studio version . it's slowed down a bit & really shows how well he can control his voice . such a phenomenal talent ! you're amazing , sam !

Even live he sounds exactly the same as recorded, not many do this, hardly any of today can sound the same. He's already huge now. If he can keep doing songs like this.. I love his album.

I went to his concert in Calgary and I was blown away by the control of his voice when he sings live. His falsetto is ridiculously good, and I was in shock with how good he sounded from beginning to end. Please come back to Calgary!

0% autotune 100% talent One of my best artists of all time. Smae voice in Recording and in Live performance

Seriously? How is one person this talented? He doesn't deserve a Grammy he deserves all the Grammys.

This song, the lyrics, took on a whole new meaning for me when I lost my Mommy last year💔💔💔 Thank you Sam for always making such beautiful music that's so relatable to so many for so many different types of situations. That's REAL ARTISTRY! AND THAT VOICE!!!😭😭💗💗💗💔💔💔

No matter how I’m feeling. This song will forever touch a different part of me

This part 0:59 touched me deeply. Love that husky voice of his.

I litsend to this while laying on my bed, not my best decision cause now my ears are filled with my own tears

Es realmente increíble escuchar voces como éstas! en verda extraordinaria presentación. La precisión con que entona cada nota es ... wow.

When this song came out, I just lost my dad suddenly like a thunderbolt in mid of summer. And those moments were too hard and painful for me to deal with ( and it still is.) I just wanted to hide away from all the people who were asking me like what happened to your dad? I didn't want to explain, I just wanted a silent companions but reality wasn't what I wanted. And this song hit me hard whenever I listened to it..

The way he sings the chorus is gut wrenching. Hes literally melodically begging. You can hear the desperation through the way he sings the first six words of the chorus its amazing.

I love how he sounds exactly like his records when he performs live! just an amazing talent!

Dedicated for me to my elderly declining cat who has been my angel and literally my saviour for mor than half my life

His voice is so pure so clear so beautiful! He is a great singer indeed!

a crazy idea: ADELE and SAM SMITH duet. yes. YES.

He has such a wide range of power, pitch, and tone. I can't stop listening to him.

2020 só ouço ele 👏👏😍

Sam: don't cry me: but the feeling is overwhelming, it's much too strong

the rasp in his voice at the chorus

The fact that there are dislikes on this video,really pisses me off. Like,how?!?!what can anyone possibly not like about this?!?!!

I’ve literally watched this video like 20 times in the past two days. I’m in love with his voice.

OMG HE SOUNDS BETTER THAN RECORDED....... 😭😭😭😭 that voice wants to make you cry

100% Perfection.

You can tell he's one of God's favourites being gifted with such a voice! It's unbelievable how perfect he sounds!

He's one of those artists that i love to listen to because everything is so effortless and his voice just soars ❤

Goosebumps..chills.. how can anyone sing this beautifully

He sounds amazing here and in the studio. His voice is gold. He's a true perfect singer. Special person that I love. Love you bunches Sam.

Ao vivo parece melhor que o gravado, incrível.

I remember listening to this when it dropped in 14. Still hits the same after all these years.

he is totally gifted !! damn his voice is really impressive

I mean, who in the fuck can dislike this video? His voice is everything!!! ❤️ I think those dislikes are from people who are hearing impaired.

Lookin in the mirror seeing my mothers face crying ...this song solidifies my grief

Anyone still watching 2019?

Goosebumps is all I can feel and say about his voice in this song

WHOAAA

Yo that’s crazy I was listening and thought this was a recorded version then I heard people cheering and saw that it was live 😳😳😳 his vocals are on another level

Su voz es de otro planeta!♥️

these British singers have so much power in their voice, unlike other singers!

I play this song at least 10 times a day... And if I am not playing it, I am singing it without noticing that I am singing it. Lol It's too good. Even better live. Well done Sam Smith, you gave me hope for this newer generation music. Keep it up!

This dude was blessed with one of the most beautiful voices ever

♪♪ UMA VOZ LINDA,PARA UM LINDA MÚSICA ♥

shit... this sad man make me feel good. his soulful voice, he knows what he feels. you got a new fan dude.

This is IDENTICAL to his recordings! His f*cking voice at 3:44 WAIT FOR IT!!! Do you see the f*cking expression on his face the whole time???????????????? How the heck do you hit those notes to perfection??????

Me enamoré de su voz 💜

I love the way ppl just enjoy his music, not through the phone screen

Sam Smith and Adele should do a duet

I'm complety in love with that guy, I mean, He's incredible! Can't believe the powerful and the charisma he has on his voice. Love you, Sam

Que espectaculoso..... voz simplesmente linda mexe minha alma porraaa

Sam Smith + Ed Sheeran Sam Smith + Adele Sam Smith + Jessie J Sam Smith + Mariah Carey (she can get back to singing again) Sam Smith + John Legend Sam Smith + Bruno Mars - PS Sam Smith + Tori Kelly They are my dream collaborations. I hope it happens some day.

I get goosebumps anytime he sings! Such a beautiful voice! :)

his voice makes me cry every goddamn time. I’m laying in bed at 1:10 am at night and balling my eyes out. he is so so amazing, I cannot even find the right words for it.... simply out of this world.

I swear I never heard somebody at a concert sing with no flaws just pure perfection I can't stop listening to his music and I never listen to concert visions either

Just take a moment to hear how perfectly amazing his voice sounds like. So much control

2022 and I’m still absorbing this performance

I absolutely love this live version it makes me cry everytime i hear "I'm reaching out to you, can you hear my call" I swear this album is the soundtrack of my life!!! Love you Sam!! xoxo

Sounds EXACTLY the same as the recording 🙌🏽❤️

Amoooo muito essa voz de ouro

Goosebumps all over my body.. my goodness this boy can surely sing, pure talent. Simply BEAUTIFUL 😍

sams voice is absolutely amazing

* Dedicated To My Precious Angel Robby * ~~~ " Can I Lay by Your Side " were my words to you the first night we met when I asked if I could go home with you... You just took my hand, walked me to my Car & said follow me ... I spent 3 days & 3 nights before I left you to drive back to Palm Springs.... I was back to you 2 days later for the weekend.... I missed you like crazy & had to have you back in my Arms again... I've been lying by your side for the past 22 years now.... You've been my Angel ever since.... All of me, Your Man Your Darlin' Bob

My God....if it wasn't for the audience reaction I would have sworn that was the studio recording. That was utterly amazing. What a voice.

amo essa música

I could cry every thime i hear this song...❤️

I can't explain what he makes me feel. But I literally listen to him for hours. Live versions make me cry and I don't know why...

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see him live in concert!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

He's amazing such a talent like no one will ever have a voice like his 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't know how anyone could dislike this man's music

Marvelous job!!!! I LOVE all of Sam's songs -- but this one is the most powerful and goosebump inducing!

Sam gives me the chills down my spine and I love it. Awesome voice !

Maravilloso, que la voz sea la misma en vivo que en sus discos. Es uno de los artistas más completos que he visto. Me encanta
