I’m Not The Only One – No, You Are Not Sam Smith
By now you all already know my downright obsession with Sam Smith – In The Lonely Hour is quite possibly one of my favorite albums, say the BEST album of the year. The lyrics of every single song from the album are relatable, as we all have experienced unrequited love, being cheated, and heartbreaks.
The video for the song I’m Not The Only One is perfection! Not only are Dianna Agron and Chris Messina the subjects in the video (as husband and wife), but the story line behind the song is quite heart-breaking. Dianna as the devastated wife being cheated on by Messina, who seems careless as to how his actions are making the marriage crumble.
Sam Smith’s music truly speaks to every fiber of our hearts, this is a fantastic video!

So, It’s Official! I’m In Love With Sam Smith!
Yes, I know most of you have known about Sam Smith from that
contagious collaboration with Disclosure on the track “Latch.” And, while I
love that song, and “La La La” which he collaborated on with Naughty Boy – the song
that got to the chords of my soul was “Stay With Me.”
You see; if you are anything like me, certain songs or lyrics, represent your current state of mind, or that of your heart. Perhaps it’s been broken, let down, or recovering from unrequited love. Whatever the case may be, Smith’s debut album In The Lonely Hour will speak to your muscle of blood.
And, while the album does not debut in the US until June 17th, our friends over at NPR scored a streaming version for us to enjoy, and, TRUST me when I tell you this – you will want to buy the album IMMEDIATELY!
I have been playing the album all day (seriously!), and as I type away, each track reveals to be so relatable! such great melodies, such heart-felt lyrics.
Ahhh! The track “Not In That Way” talks of that unrequited love – how many of us have fallen for someone who simply didn’t want us? Or have changed their minds about wanting to be with us. Well, Sam Smith knows your struggle! “And I hate to say I want you when you make it so clear you don't want me…” Or, how about the track “I’ve Told You Now” ….. “But why the hell, why do you think I come 'round here on my free will? wasting all my precious time…”
Amazing albums are hard to come by nowadays – artists rely so heavily on the “technical” aspect of an album, that they often forget that what is important is the content. Thankfully, Sam Smith came to the rescue! In The Lonely Hour is a gem from beginning to end! At 22, Sam is wise beyond his years!
He will be hitting the road, and his show at the FoxTheater in Oakland is officially SOLD-OUT! (let’s hope a second date opens up.) He is the HOTTEST ticket around since Lorde made her debut.
I leave you with the video for the song “Stay With Me.” In The Lonely Hour comes out on June 17th, available on iTunes & Amazon.
