“I’m Not The Only One”
Sam Smith
I’m not a huge lover of Sam Smith, but I definitely fell hard for this song.
Travelling on a cold and dark evening, towards my regular destination at that time, this song sneaked its way into my subconscious. Not an instant love… more a gradual soaking into my mind, such that when the first bars came on the radio, I smile would cross my face and I would be happy in the knowledge of a few minutes of its dark melody and mood. Sam Smith’s vocal style is unusual, and not to my normal tastes, but it suits this track brilliantly.
I love this track, despite all the odds.
Standout lyric/moment for me goes like this:
You’ve been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine
[Chorus]
You say I’m crazy
‘Cause you don’t think I know what you’ve done
