Lewis Capaldi


Someone else on the current scene I have stumbled across and really enjoyed the strength of his voice and his appearances live and culminating in his Glastonbury gig this year 
Here he is with the also very interesting young guitar driven young singer songwriter  James Bay melding their two songs, hits at the moment , faultlessly. . . . . . . I love the way James looks at Lewis and the joint work is peerless





Now it is interesting (well to me) to note that my two year old granddaughter loves Lewis Capaldi too as well as her Mum and I but the new video seen here upsets her and she wants to know 'where the girl gone' . . . . . . .I decided upon telling her she had gone to the chip shop which seemed to do the trick!


Lovely song Lewis - heartbreaking stuff . . . . 


I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy I need somebody to heal somebody to know somebody to have somebody to hold It’s easy to say but it’s never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain Now the day bleeds, into nightfall and you’re not here, to get me through it all I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to turn to This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you Now I need somebody to know somebody to heal somebody to have just to know how it feels It’s easy to say but it’s never the same I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape Now the day bleeds, into nightfall and you’re not here, to get me through it all I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes I fall into your arms I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around For now the day bleeds, into nightfall and you’re not here, to get me through it all I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved But now the day bleeds, into nightfall and you’re not here, to get me through it all I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved


The comments and interactions with Noel 'Who's He?' Gallagher have been hilariously met by Lewis who has clearly won hands down and made the 'old fellah' look especially dumb (not that this is difficult mind but I expected better from you, Noel) and appearing with his daughter in a crowded audience capped it all for me

Touché! and for the WIN!
