REVIEWS
Average points: 3.68 (Reviews: 41)
****
Song ist produziert worden von Disclosure – der Sänger hat ja bereits bei deren Track Latch mitgewirkt – aufgerundete 3.5 für diese soulige Nummer…
****
In diesem Track leidet Mister Smith weniger als üblich - steht ihm auch gut
****
Kuschelige kleine Nummer.
****
Leider ist gleich der schwächste Song auch die Abschlussnummer der Standard-Edition von "In The Lonely Hour". Trotzdem, nett ist "Lay Me Down" allemal und gerade die letzte Minute ist doch gut geworden. 4*
****
Zunächst eine wohlige, gemütliche Ballade, doch später nimmt der Song an Fahrt auf. Solide.

"Can I lay by your side? Next to you?" <br><br>Wunderschön gesungen!<br>Wunderschöner Song! <br>Die steigerung gegen Ende hätte es meiner Meinung nicht gebraucht...es stört mich sogar ein wenig! Deshalb "nur" 5*
*****
I love that vocal run in the chorus, the final note is just awesome. Love this song so much.<br><br>EDIT: I've become a bit weary of this over time - it is a little whiny and can become irritating. Also I wish the bridge built up to something more, just loses its energy!

Good stuff.
***
His best track so far, actually decent.
****
Pleasant.
***
I'm not moved at all by his vocal style on show here, but the track zooms through and the instrumentation makes up for it too. Just not so keen on the bridge. 3.5
*****
...es berührt mich sehr, seinen Trennungsschmerz zu vernehmen: "......you told me not to cry when you were gone but the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong......." - ganz stark wie er seine Gefühle zeigt -...<br><br>
****
Comme d'habitude : joli mais absolument pas transcendant.
**
Toch niet zo mooi, nogal veel gezaag gezongen dacht ik zo.
****
▒ Mooie ballad uit januari 2015 van de Britse songschrijver en zanger: "Samuel Frederick (Sam) Smith" !!! Mag ook naar de Nederlandse hitlijsten doorkomen hoor ☺!!!
*****
Prachtig werk van Sam Smith.
****
Nette ballade van Smith, die de gevoelige snaar wederom weet te raken.
***
Goed gezongen, maar wel een beetje saai. De uptempo achtergrondmuziek die tegen het einde aan wordt ingezet, klinkt ook behoorlijk misplaatst. Jammer dat Sam Smith weer teruggaat naar deze stijl na het anders klinkende 'Like I Can'. Dat had beter gekund.
**
sorry hoor, maar wat een zeiknummer.

Bisschen zu schmalzig, auch wenn ich seine Stimme top finde.
****
Bin da ähnlicher Meinung wie meine Vorredner. Dieses Geschrei von ihm anfangs Refrain, tut mir leid wenn ich es so nenne, gefällt mir üüüüberhaupt nicht! Solide aber leider nicht mehr. Er hat bedeutend bessere Tracks!
****
Über die Stimme von Sam Smith habe ich schon oft genug was gesagt, das muss ich nicht wiederholen. Mir ist der Titel auch zu schmalzig geraten, wozu Sam Smith leider häufiger mal leidet. Für mich kein Highlight seines Repertoires, aber dank seiner Stimme gewiss immer noch über Durchschnitt anzusiedeln.
**
Ultimate album track, not very commercial. Rather dull, in fact. And I could not stop yawning over and over ... zzzz
****
buono
***
...viel zu fad, bis es dann endlich ein wenig zur Sache geht...
**
fürchterlich! hört sich für mich an wie ein heulendes waschweib
***
Langweilig...
****
Sure, it might get a bit whiny at times, but this is actually another decent offering from Sam Smith. <br><br>Original: 4.1<br>Feat. John Legend: 4.3<br>Flume Remix: 4.7
**
thank god I found something I like about it. Smith in the verses just sounds like he's blurting stuff out at random times in the first verse, which kills momentum for the song right from the outset. Couple that with the lame chorus vocals and it's a total disaster, saved by the piano in the bridge that oddly reminds me of Sara Bareilles' Love Song. Australia's worst top 10 hit since Amnesia.
***
...weniger...
*****
Technically his highest peaking song on ARIA so far (even though it doesn't seem like it should be) and I would also say is my favourite from Sam to date.<br>This isn't far off the makings of a great ballad. Going into the 2nd verse, this soars. Unfortunately the cohesion was just lost a touch around the bridge. Also the song seems to annoyingly finish too quick. <br>Very good overall. 4.7*
*****
5 Sterne von mir.
****
Ein wenig zu lahm für mich.
**
fade
***
Was ist da Soul du Nagel? Einöde pur.
*****
stark.
***
Na ja 2-3
***
<br>...weniger...
******
Gefühlvolle Nummer. Wunderschöner Song.
***
3-
****
Kaum vorstellbar, dass die 41. Bewertung nun über 5 Jahre auf sich warten lassen musste. Ein hübscher Song, fast schon ein Klassiker, nur die Tempoerhöhung hätte es nicht wirklich gebraucht, darum ganz knapp keine 5.
