0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Are you all right? - I think I'm going to pass out!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I can't believe Sam Smith was just here.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45# Like I can, can, can. #

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Let me see your hands, guys.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Sing this with me if you know it.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Here we go.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20# You and me, we made a vow

0:03:22 > 0:03:25# For better or for worse

0:03:25 > 0:03:26# Yeah

0:03:28 > 0:03:31# And I can't believe you let me down

0:03:31 > 0:03:36# But the proof is in the way it hurts

0:03:40 > 0:03:43# For months on end I've had my doubts

0:03:45 > 0:03:48# Denying every tear

0:03:51 > 0:03:54# And I wish this would be over now

0:03:56 > 0:03:59# But I know that I still need you near

0:04:01 > 0:04:06# You say I'm crazy

0:04:07 > 0:04:12# Cos you don't think I know what you've done

0:04:13 > 0:04:19# But when you call me baby

0:04:19 > 0:04:23# I know I'm not the only one

0:04:26 > 0:04:29# You've been so unavailable

0:04:32 > 0:04:36# Now sadly I know why

0:04:38 > 0:04:41# Your heart is unobtainable

0:04:42 > 0:04:47# Even though Lord knows you kept mine

0:04:48 > 0:04:53# You say I'm crazy

0:04:54 > 0:04:59# Cos you don't think I know what you've done

0:05:00 > 0:05:06# But when you call me baby

0:05:06 > 0:05:10# I know I'm not the only one

0:05:13 > 0:05:16# And I have loved you for many years

0:05:18 > 0:05:22# Maybe I am just not enough

0:05:24 > 0:05:28# You've made me realise my deepest fear

0:05:29 > 0:05:34# By lying and tearing us up

0:05:35 > 0:05:40# You say I'm crazy

0:05:41 > 0:05:45# Cos you don't think I know what you've done

0:05:47 > 0:05:52# But when you call me baby

0:05:52 > 0:05:57# I know I'm not the only one

0:05:59 > 0:06:03# You say I'm crazy

0:06:04 > 0:06:08# Cos you don't think I know what you've done

0:06:10 > 0:06:16# But when you call me baby

0:06:16 > 0:06:20# I know I'm not the only one

0:06:22 > 0:06:26# I know I'm not the only one

0:06:28 > 0:06:31# And I know I'm not the only one

0:06:34 > 0:06:37# And I know and I know and I know and I know and I know

0:06:37 > 0:06:40# And I know

0:06:40 > 0:06:45# I know I'm not the only one. #

0:06:45 > 0:06:48CHEERING

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Take a seat.- Thank you.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Well, tonight, you are in for a treat

0:07:07 > 0:07:11because Sam's playing a sensational live set, accompanied by his band

0:07:11 > 0:07:13and the BBC Concert Orchestra.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17We're going to hear everything from his In The Lonely Hour classics

0:07:17 > 0:07:20to exclusive previews of the latest album

0:07:20 > 0:07:23and, of course, that soaring Oscar-winning Bond theme,

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Writing's On The Wall.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30First up, congratulations on such a brilliant reception of your new music.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Do you still get quite anxious before the release of new music?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Oh, my gosh, anxious is an understatement.- Really?

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Before this release, I was a mess, actually.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40I, erm...

0:07:40 > 0:07:43I was away for a year-and-a-half

0:07:43 > 0:07:47and I forgot about what comes with releasing an album,

0:07:47 > 0:07:49and I was just really scared

0:07:49 > 0:07:52that people didn't want to hear me sing again.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55The reception has just been overwhelming, and it really hasn't hit me yet.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Was that time out really important for you,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02sort of not to rush and just immerse yourself in that normality again?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah. There's certain things that come with the job.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08It just really shook my universe massively, you know,

0:08:08 > 0:08:11the fame side of stuff really scared me.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13And it's something that I thought I wanted

0:08:13 > 0:08:17but when I got it, I realised I wanted my music to be famous,

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I didn't want my personal life to be famous.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24So it was so important for me to just take a year out

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- and just sit in my pants and watch TV again.- Nice!

0:08:28 > 0:08:31And you know, with the release of In The Lonely Hour,

0:08:31 > 0:08:34it was about me all the time, and my family and friends

0:08:34 > 0:08:37must have been sick of hearing about me for three years straight.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40And I just wanted to be there for them for a year-and-a-half

0:08:40 > 0:08:42and be there for their ups and downs

0:08:42 > 0:08:45and what they were going through, and rebuild our relationship.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Now, In The Lonely Hour could not have been a bigger hit.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Let's just read some stats out here

0:08:50 > 0:08:52because this is ridiculously impressive.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Total of eight weeks at number one in the UK.

0:08:55 > 0:08:5812.4 million albums sold across the world.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Three Brit awards and four Grammys.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05APPLAUSE

0:09:08 > 0:09:10I think it's safe to say that the album went well.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13It was a massive hit. Unprecedented for a debut album.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Looking back, how did it feel to be catapulted

0:09:17 > 0:09:20to that international stardom so quickly?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23It was mad. It was absolutely mad. I can't explain.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27I remember moments of just feeling completely out of control.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33But all of my dreams came true and then, even more than that,

0:09:33 > 0:09:36and I wasn't prepared for even more than that.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39It still freaks me out hearing the numbers and stuff like that.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43But it also makes me realise what's important to me,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45and that is music, you know?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47So, Sam, what are you going to sing for us next?

0:09:47 > 0:09:50I'm going to sing Too Good At Goodbyes.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54- We're so looking forward to this. Go and get yourself ready.- Thank you.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56APPLAUSE

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Now, he left us hanging for two years for this song to be released

0:10:00 > 0:10:03but don't worry, tonight he's under orders not to make us wait.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Yes, it's Sam's latest single, the number one smash,

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Too Good At Goodbyes.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23# You must think that I'm stupid

0:10:25 > 0:10:28# You must think that I'm a fool

0:10:30 > 0:10:33# You must think that I'm new to this

0:10:35 > 0:10:38# But I have seen this all before

0:10:40 > 0:10:42# I'm never going to let you close to me

0:10:42 > 0:10:45# Even though you mean the most to me

0:10:45 > 0:10:48# Cos every time I open up, it hurts

0:10:50 > 0:10:52# So I'm never going to get too close to you

0:10:52 > 0:10:55# Even when I mean the most to you

0:10:55 > 0:10:59# In case you go and leave me in the dirt

0:10:59 > 0:11:04# But every time you hurt me The less that I cry

0:11:04 > 0:11:09# And every time you leave me The quicker these tears dry

0:11:09 > 0:11:15# And every time you walk out The less I love you

0:11:15 > 0:11:19# Baby, we don't stand a chance It's sad but it's true

0:11:19 > 0:11:22# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:11:22 > 0:11:24# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:11:24 > 0:11:27# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:11:27 > 0:11:30# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:11:30 > 0:11:32# No way that you'll see my cry

0:11:32 > 0:11:35# No way that you'll see me cry

0:11:35 > 0:11:37# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:11:37 > 0:11:40# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:11:43 > 0:11:46# I know you're thinking I'm heartless

0:11:47 > 0:11:51# I know you're thinking I'm cold

0:11:53 > 0:11:57# I'm just protecting my innocence

0:11:58 > 0:12:01# I'm just protecting my soul

0:12:03 > 0:12:06# I'm never going to let you close to me

0:12:06 > 0:12:08# Even though you mean the most to me

0:12:08 > 0:12:12# Cos every time I open up, it hurts

0:12:13 > 0:12:16# So I'm never going to get too close to you

0:12:16 > 0:12:19# Even when I mean the most to you

0:12:19 > 0:12:22# In case you go and leave me in the dirt

0:12:22 > 0:12:28# But every time you hurt me The less that I cry

0:12:28 > 0:12:33# And every time you leave me The quicker these tears dry

0:12:33 > 0:12:38# And every time you walk out The less I love you

0:12:38 > 0:12:43# Baby, we don't stand a chance It's sad but it's true

0:12:43 > 0:12:45# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:12:45 > 0:12:48# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:12:48 > 0:12:50# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:12:50 > 0:12:53# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:12:53 > 0:12:56# No way that you'll see me cry

0:12:56 > 0:12:58# No way that you'll see me cry

0:12:58 > 0:13:01# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:13:01 > 0:13:04# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:13:04 > 0:13:05# Oh, oh, oh, oh

0:13:05 > 0:13:09# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:13:09 > 0:13:11# No, no, no

0:13:11 > 0:13:14# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:13:14 > 0:13:16# No

0:13:16 > 0:13:19# No way that you'll see me cry

0:13:19 > 0:13:22# Oh-oh-oh-oh

0:13:22 > 0:13:24# I'm way too good at goodbyes

0:13:24 > 0:13:29# Cos every time you hurt me The less that I cry

0:13:31 > 0:13:36# And every time you leave me The quicker these tears dry

0:13:36 > 0:13:41# And every time you walk out The less I love you

0:13:42 > 0:13:47# Baby, we don't stand a chance It's sad but it's true

0:13:47 > 0:13:52# I'm way too good at goodbyes. #

0:13:54 > 0:13:56CHEERING

0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Oh, that was dreamy.- Thank you.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10I know you do that all the time, but it must feel so good to get up there

0:14:10 > 0:14:13and have that voice come out of your mouth.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16It feels.... I've missed singing so much so it's amazing,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19and the band are just incredible and, yeah, it's amazing.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- And that's the first single off your new album as well.- Yes.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26How on earth, after the success of such a huge debut album,

0:14:26 > 0:14:28do you go about writing a follow-up to that?

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Do you know what, I don't know.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33I was trying to figure that out for a whole year and I still don't know.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35I just listen to my music way too much

0:14:35 > 0:14:38and I was writing the same song again and again

0:14:38 > 0:14:40and it really took for me to challenge myself

0:14:40 > 0:14:44and get in with some people that I wouldn't normally get in with,

0:14:44 > 0:14:47when I was writing, to bring out something different.

0:14:47 > 0:14:52But I made some awful songs in the last year-and-a-half. Awful ones.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I hear that you wrote over 100 songs?- 130-something.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58We've heard some of them weren't so great but what were the other ones like?

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Do you sort of save songs for another album?

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Bin them.- Gone, really? - Gone, finished. Do you want any?!

0:15:04 > 0:15:05LAUGHTER

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Wow!- No, I don't...

0:15:07 > 0:15:10I have this theory that for every ten songs you get one,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12and that's how I work.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Every song that I write will lead on to the next.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19You know, so for every Stay With Me, there was ten before that.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23And there's obviously that sort of cliche thing of a difficult second album.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Do you have that in your head when you're faced with that task?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28I really tried to ignore that.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31That really annoys me, because the pressure is unbelievable

0:15:31 > 0:15:33and we need to give people a break.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35I should be going into the studio

0:15:35 > 0:15:37and feel free to write what I want to write,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40and I really didn't listen to that because I think if I did,

0:15:40 > 0:15:43I would have written a very different album to what I wrote.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46And where do you feel that pressure coming from the most?

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Is it your record label? Is it knowing your fans are waiting?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Or is it just from you, and you putting yourself under that strain?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55It's me. I'm really, really hard on myself.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58I just want to be a better singer and a better songwriter.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00That was my main thing with this album -

0:16:00 > 0:16:03I just wanted to bring out something of quality

0:16:03 > 0:16:07and to do something that felt organic and authentic to me.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08It certainly does.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12Look, Sam, I think we'd like some more music, wouldn't we? Are you up for that?

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Go and get yourself ready. Thank you so much, Sam.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20Right, BBC.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23I want to see you all on your feet right now.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Everybody stand up.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Stand up, guys.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30Click your fingers, like this.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Hey.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34This is called Like I Can.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42# He could be a sinner or a gentleman

0:16:42 > 0:16:46# He could be a preacher when your soul is damned

0:16:46 > 0:16:52# He could be a lawyer on a witness stand

0:16:52 > 0:16:56# But he'll never love you like I can

0:16:56 > 0:17:00# He could be a stranger you gave a second glance

0:17:00 > 0:17:06# He could be a trophy of a one-night stand

0:17:06 > 0:17:12# He could have your humour but I don't understand

0:17:12 > 0:17:16# Cos he'll never love you like I can, can, can

0:17:16 > 0:17:21# Why are you looking down all the wrong roads

0:17:21 > 0:17:25# When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul?

0:17:25 > 0:17:30# There may be lovers who hold out their hands

0:17:30 > 0:17:35# But they'll never love you like I can, can, can

0:17:36 > 0:17:40# They'll never love you like I can, can

0:17:40 > 0:17:44# A chance encounter of circumstance

0:17:44 > 0:17:49# Maybe he's a mantra Keeps your mind entranced

0:17:49 > 0:17:54# He could be the silence in this mayhem

0:20:46 > 0:20:49This is Burning.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14# I've been burning

0:21:14 > 0:21:18# Yes, I've been burning

0:21:18 > 0:21:20# Such a burden

0:21:20 > 0:21:23# This flame on my chest

0:21:25 > 0:21:30# No insurance to pay for the damage

0:21:30 > 0:21:36# Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

0:21:38 > 0:21:41# I've been smoking, oh

0:21:42 > 0:21:45# More than twenty a day

0:21:45 > 0:21:48# Blame it on rebellion

0:21:48 > 0:21:51# Don't blame it on me

0:21:51 > 0:21:54# Wish I was younger

0:21:55 > 0:21:58# Back to the nineteenth of May

0:21:58 > 0:22:00# I had an open mind

0:22:00 > 0:22:03# Swore to never change

0:22:06 > 0:22:09# Funny how time goes by

0:22:10 > 0:22:13# Had respect for myself

0:22:13 > 0:22:16# That river ran dry

0:22:17 > 0:22:19# You reached a limit

0:22:19 > 0:22:22# I wasn't enough

0:22:24 > 0:22:29# It's like the fire replaced all the love

0:22:31 > 0:22:33# I've been burning

0:22:33 > 0:22:36# Yes, I've been burning

0:22:36 > 0:22:39# Such a burden

0:22:49 > 0:22:55# Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

0:22:56 > 0:22:59# Oh, if you ever called

0:22:59 > 0:23:02# I would run straight back

0:23:02 > 0:23:05# Give you my forgiveness

0:23:06 > 0:23:09# And the shirt off my back

0:23:09 > 0:23:12# No friends to turn to

0:23:12 > 0:23:16# Yeah, I messed up that

0:23:16 > 0:23:18# Wish we could smoke again

0:23:18 > 0:23:21# Just for a day

0:23:23 > 0:23:26# Funny how time goes by

0:24:43 > 0:24:46CHEERING

0:24:56 > 0:24:59You lovely, lovely people, that was a world exclusive.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02The first ever performance of Burning on UK television.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05So beautiful. Let's go right back to the beginning.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08What was the sort of first moment when you thought,

0:25:08 > 0:25:10I quite like singing? I'm quite good at this?

0:25:10 > 0:25:14I remember being in the car and, erm...

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I was about eight years old,

0:25:16 > 0:25:21- and I used to just belt and sing Whitney Houston...- Yes.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25Chaka Khan. Any female diva tune, I was singing it,

0:25:25 > 0:25:29and my mum and dad basically heard my voice and asked me

0:25:29 > 0:25:33if I wanted to do singing lessons with a jazz teacher,

0:25:33 > 0:25:35and I was so bad in school at everything else,

0:25:35 > 0:25:37so I was just really excited at the idea

0:25:37 > 0:25:40that I was actually good at something.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43So I was like, yeah, go for it, and when I hit 12 years old,

0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Amy Whitehouse's Frank came out... - Mm.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49..and I started listening to songwriters, I started...

0:25:49 > 0:25:52I got obsessed with Corinne Bailey Rae's first album,

0:25:52 > 0:25:55and I just started to really open my mind up to lyrics

0:25:55 > 0:25:59and stories and being personal.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03And was there sort of a moment where you thought, I can actually

0:26:03 > 0:26:06do this for a career, this feels right, I'm going to give it a shot?

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Yeah, do you know what? My parents were so incredible.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15They made me believe that anything was possible, for my whole life,

0:26:15 > 0:26:17and it...

0:26:17 > 0:26:21I don't know, I never had any doubt that I could do it

0:26:21 > 0:26:24and I could go into it, and they had so much belief in me.

0:26:24 > 0:26:29- And at what age did you discover the vast range that you have?- Erm...

0:26:29 > 0:26:34Very young. My voice actually got a little bit higher when my, erm...

0:26:34 > 0:26:35balls dropped.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37LAUGHTER

0:26:37 > 0:26:39- The opposite happened. - SAM LAUGHS

0:26:39 > 0:26:41They dropped, and your voice got higher - fab.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Yeah, no, I don't know, I sang through it.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45LAUGHTER

0:26:45 > 0:26:47You are insanely busy right now,

0:26:47 > 0:26:50but is there time for a man in your life, Sam Smith?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52- There is, yeah. FROM AUDIENCE:- Ooh!

0:26:52 > 0:26:57- Who doesn't want a man? We all need a bit of love.- It's...

0:26:57 > 0:27:00It's always so important for me to keep my private life private.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Of course.- But I'm really happy. I'm really happy right now.

0:27:03 > 0:27:08It's weird, actually, releasing an album and being in a relationship,

0:27:08 > 0:27:11cos I'm singing all these sad songs, but I'm actually quite happy.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15- Oh, isn't that lovely? I'm thrilled for you.- Yeah, it's nice.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Let's see how long it lasts. LAUGHTER

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Oh, let's be positive, let's be optimistic.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21- You may get another album out of it...- No, I'm joking.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24I'm very optimistic about this one, it'll be good.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26I know that you're such a brilliant role model

0:27:26 > 0:27:28- within the LGBT community. - Thank you.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30That must be really exhilarating

0:27:30 > 0:27:34and feel lovely, to be such a positive role model.

0:27:34 > 0:27:35Yeah. I'm just...

0:27:35 > 0:27:39I'm so proud to be gay and I just want to speak about it

0:27:39 > 0:27:40whenever and wherever I can.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44It's important to me, and we've got so much work to do, you know,

0:27:44 > 0:27:48as a community and as a world right now, and, yeah, it's crucial,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51it's really... It's an important part of my life.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Well, this leads so nicely onto something

0:27:54 > 0:27:56I know you're very excited for people out there to see,

0:27:56 > 0:27:59because you wanted to show your support,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02and surprise a lovely couple on their big day.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06They thought they were filming a BBC pilot called Love And Marriage,

0:28:06 > 0:28:11but with the help of the best woman, Katie, Sam had other plans.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Before his special performance at the couple's wedding reception,

0:28:17 > 0:28:21Sam has sneaked into the church to meet Reverend Dr Simon Woodman.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- How are you?- Very well, nice to meet you, welcome...- Nice to meet you.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Welcome to Bloomsbury, it's really good to have you here.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Thank you for having me. - Thank you for coming. - How excited are you about today?

0:28:30 > 0:28:32I'm incredibly excited, I don't know about you,

0:28:32 > 0:28:34you're the person that's going to be doing the stuff later...

0:28:34 > 0:28:39I can't wait. It's so good, I can't wait to meet them and see them.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42- What are they like? I want to know...- They're a really nice couple, yeah.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45We've got to know them over the last year or so that they've been coming

0:28:45 > 0:28:48here and they're just really nice, really normal, really down to earth.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52Quite planned about the day, so I think this is going to be quite

0:28:52 > 0:28:55a surprise, cos I think they think they've got it all taped up.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58- This is your first LGBT ceremony... - It is MY first one, yeah.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02So the church has had three previous ones and they've all been men,

0:29:02 > 0:29:05so this is the church's first female same-sex wedding

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- and it's my first one, so... - Oh, that's amazing.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Oh, it's going to be such a special day.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13As the guests arrive at the church, it's time for Sam to hide away,

0:29:13 > 0:29:16as he catches up with Katie, Lisa's niece and best woman,

0:29:16 > 0:29:20as she's the only person who's in on the big surprise.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Are you excited?- I'm so nervous... - It's going to be great.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27- You're the only one that knows. - Yeah, no-one knows anything.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30It's been the hardest secret I've ever had to keep in my life!

0:29:30 > 0:29:31MUSIC PLAYS

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Marriages look different for different people.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49Some marriages have husbands and some don't.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Some have wives and some don't.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56But what all marriages have in common

0:29:56 > 0:29:58is that they make love central.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Can you repeat after me...

0:30:01 > 0:30:04I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage...

0:30:04 > 0:30:06I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage...

0:36:29 > 0:36:34# I'm reaching out to you

0:36:36 > 0:36:40# Can you hear my call?

0:36:45 > 0:36:50# This hurt that I've been through

0:36:52 > 0:36:57# I'm missing you Missing you like crazy

0:36:58 > 0:37:02# Oh...

0:37:02 > 0:37:09# You told me not to cry when you were gone

0:37:11 > 0:37:14# But the feeling's overwhelming

0:39:01 > 0:39:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:39:06 > 0:39:07WHISTLING AND CHEERING

0:39:14 > 0:39:17That song sort of makes my heart hurt.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19- I love it so, so much.- Thank you.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Now, of course, you've been doing this for a while now,

0:39:21 > 0:39:24you're a seasoned pro, you know the pitfalls of the industry.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27What would you tell your younger self, starting out in the industry?

0:39:29 > 0:39:31- Stop eating so much cheese.- Right!

0:39:31 > 0:39:32LAUGHTER

0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Cut the brie out, Sam. - Cut the brie out. Erm...

0:39:37 > 0:39:41I would just say, stop being so hard on yourself...

0:39:41 > 0:39:43- Mm.- ..enjoy it as much as you can.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45That's what I'm really trying to do right now, is just enjoy

0:39:45 > 0:39:50every moment and take a deep breath and really open my eyes.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54Now, obviously, you are now mega into your health and fitness

0:39:54 > 0:39:56and eating really healthily.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59How has that impacted your life and your career?

0:39:59 > 0:40:01Well, do you know what? I was never...

0:40:01 > 0:40:05Before I got my record deal, I was actually kind of this size,

0:40:05 > 0:40:09but when I got my record deal, I mean, some people buy houses

0:40:09 > 0:40:12- and cars, I just bought food. - Cheese.- Cheese.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16- A lot of cheese and bread. - Mm.- And, erm...

0:40:16 > 0:40:20I don't know... There was a picture that was taken of me in Australia.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24Erm, I felt really, really bad after it, about myself,

0:40:24 > 0:40:26and I didn't like myself and...

0:40:26 > 0:40:29It's just about being healthier, you know?

0:40:29 > 0:40:32And I think... On touring and stuff, it's just important for me

0:40:32 > 0:40:34to stay on top of it. I mean, I'm not ridiculous, though.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37I still really enjoy cheese

0:40:37 > 0:40:40and loads of, erm, loads of amazing foods,

0:40:40 > 0:40:43but I just have more of a balance now, which is good.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47- Erm... I still hate working out. - Yeah, it's hell, isn't it?

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Absolutely hate it, but I'm trying to enjoy it.

0:40:50 > 0:40:51So what about a cheat day?

0:40:51 > 0:40:55- What does that involve, if you're sort of going for it?- Oh, my God.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58- You're drooling. - I love jacket potato, right?

0:40:58 > 0:41:02I get two jacket potatoes and then I get a whole bag of grated cheese

0:41:02 > 0:41:06- and pour it all over the top.- Wow. - Then beans and coleslaw...

0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Yeah.- Double-whammy spud.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10And then, like, bagels.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13I love cinnamon bagels with crunchy peanut butter

0:41:13 > 0:41:16and jam and a...glass of milk.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18LAUGHTER

0:41:18 > 0:41:21Do you think that sort of changing your lifestyle

0:41:21 > 0:41:24and how you treat your body has affected your voice in any way?

0:41:24 > 0:41:26I think for the better, you know?

0:41:26 > 0:41:28When I record, I'm not as strict,

0:41:28 > 0:41:30because I like my voice to sound a little bit rough.

0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Mm, which it is.- So I go out a lot and, yeah, eat a lot of food.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36- Well, I think it's time for more music.- Yes.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38- So please go and get yourself ready on the stage.- Thank you.

0:41:38 > 0:41:41CHEERING

0:41:41 > 0:41:43It's time for the Oscar-winning stunner.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Get ready to get goose bumps. It's Writing's On The Wall.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49CHEERING

0:42:04 > 0:42:09# I've been here before

0:42:12 > 0:42:17# But always hit the floor

0:42:19 > 0:42:22# I spent a lifetime running

0:42:22 > 0:42:26# And I always get away

0:42:26 > 0:42:30# But with you I'm feeling something

0:42:30 > 0:42:34# That makes me want to stay

0:42:35 > 0:42:39# I'm prepared for this

0:42:43 > 0:42:49# I never shoot to miss

0:42:49 > 0:42:53# But I feel like a storm is coming

0:42:53 > 0:42:57# If I'm gonna make it through the day

0:42:57 > 0:43:01# Then there's no more use in running

0:43:01 > 0:43:06# This is something I gotta face

0:43:06 > 0:43:13# If I risk it all

0:43:14 > 0:43:20# Would you break my fall?

0:43:20 > 0:43:22# How do I live?

0:43:22 > 0:43:24# How do I breathe?

0:43:24 > 0:43:28# When you're not here I'm suffocating

0:43:28 > 0:43:32# I wanna feel love run through my blood

0:43:32 > 0:43:36# Tell me is this where I give it all up?

0:43:36 > 0:43:38# For you

0:43:38 > 0:43:44# I have to risk it all

0:43:44 > 0:43:51# Cos the writing's on the wall

0:43:57 > 0:44:03# A million shards of glass

0:44:05 > 0:44:11# That haunt me from my past

0:44:11 > 0:44:15# As the stars begin to gather

0:44:15 > 0:44:19# And the light begins to fade

0:44:19 > 0:44:23# When all hope begins to shatter

0:44:23 > 0:44:28# Know that I won't be afraid

0:44:28 > 0:44:35# If I risk it all

0:44:35 > 0:44:42# Would you break my fall?

0:44:42 > 0:44:44# How do I live?

0:44:44 > 0:44:46# How do I breathe?

0:44:46 > 0:44:50# When you're not here I'm suffocating

0:44:50 > 0:44:54# I wanna feel love run through my blood

0:44:54 > 0:44:59# Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

0:44:59 > 0:45:01# For you

0:45:01 > 0:45:06# I have to risk it all

0:45:06 > 0:45:15# Cos the writing's on the wall

0:45:17 > 0:45:24# The writing's on the wall

0:45:42 > 0:45:43# How do I live?

0:45:43 > 0:45:46# How do I breathe?

0:45:46 > 0:45:49# When you're not here I'm suffocating

0:45:49 > 0:45:53# I wanna feel love run through my blood

0:45:53 > 0:45:57# Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

0:45:57 > 0:45:59# How do I live?

0:46:09 > 0:46:14# Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

0:46:14 > 0:46:16# For you

0:46:16 > 0:46:22# I have to risk it all

0:46:22 > 0:46:30# Cos the writing's on

0:46:30 > 0:46:36# The wall... #

0:46:36 > 0:46:38CHEERING

0:46:51 > 0:46:54That, of course, is the song that won you an Oscar.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56- Yes. - Is that still quite surreal to say?

0:46:56 > 0:47:01- Yeah, really weird. I hide it in my house.- Do you?

0:47:01 > 0:47:03Every now and then, I just look at it, like...

0:47:05 > 0:47:08- It's weird.- When you're sat there waiting to find out who the

0:47:08 > 0:47:12recipient of that award is and then you hear your name,

0:47:12 > 0:47:15what on earth runs through your head in that moment?

0:47:15 > 0:47:16The God's honest truth...

0:47:18 > 0:47:19We...we...

0:47:19 > 0:47:22..did not think we were going to win at all. Like, at all.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25We were like, "There is absolutely no chance."

0:47:25 > 0:47:28So, for me, it was just like, "Let's just have fun.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30"Let's try and enjoy it

0:47:30 > 0:47:32"and let's just stare at Tom Hardy for the rest of the night."

0:47:34 > 0:47:39So I was just not prepared. When they called my name...

0:47:39 > 0:47:42I still haven't really thought about that moment too much,

0:47:42 > 0:47:48cos it was terrifying, actually. Just overwhelming. Too much.

0:47:48 > 0:47:49Just too much.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53Like, I mean, one album, what you just listed, it's a

0:47:53 > 0:47:57lot to handle, but that on top? It's just mad.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59Again, it's taken me a long time to now be really proud of that

0:47:59 > 0:48:01and happy about it, but the first...

0:48:01 > 0:48:03I was just like, "Whoa."

0:48:03 > 0:48:05- Did you go out and celebrate? - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07I turned my phone off that night, which was great.

0:48:07 > 0:48:11So we went out with my family and we had a beautiful party.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Then I woke up in the morning

0:48:13 > 0:48:17and realised I'd caused a bit of a social media thing.

0:48:17 > 0:48:22So you had a slight backlash from your Oscar acceptance speech.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Yeah, I messed up massively.

0:48:24 > 0:48:27My head and mouth just didn't connect.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29That's the only way I can explain.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31It was... It was...

0:48:31 > 0:48:35Of course I know that I wasn't the first gay guy to win an Oscar,

0:48:35 > 0:48:36I knew that,

0:48:36 > 0:48:40but I forgot to say Best Male Actor, which is still true.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44No gay man has won Best Male Actor, but, yeah...

0:48:44 > 0:48:48I felt awful the next day. It almost ruined it a little bit for me.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51But now I'm really at peace with it. I'm human, I make mistakes.

0:48:51 > 0:48:54- I won an Oscar, so it's great.- Yes. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:48:54 > 0:48:59- Let that be the moment that you remember.- Yeah.- Too right.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05- It's time for more music, if that's OK with you, Sam.- Yes.

0:49:05 > 0:49:09Please pop onto the stage again and get yourself ready.

0:49:10 > 0:49:15So here is Sam Smith performing a brand-new UK exclusive, with Pray.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18CHEERING

0:49:26 > 0:49:32# Ooh oooh-ooh-ooh ooh

0:49:38 > 0:49:41# I'm young and I'm foolish

0:49:41 > 0:49:43# I make bad decisions

0:49:43 > 0:49:44# I block out the news

0:49:44 > 0:49:47# Turn my back on religion

0:49:47 > 0:49:49# Don't have no degree

0:49:49 > 0:49:51# I'm somewhat naive

0:49:51 > 0:49:55# I've made it this far on my own

0:49:55 > 0:49:59# But lately that ain't been getting me higher

0:49:59 > 0:50:03# I lift up my head and the world is on fire

0:50:03 > 0:50:07# There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones

0:50:07 > 0:50:10# And I just don't know what to say

0:50:10 > 0:50:16# Maybe I'll pray

0:50:16 > 0:50:19# Pray

0:50:19 > 0:50:23# Maybe I'll pray

0:50:23 > 0:50:27# I have never believed in you, no

0:50:27 > 0:50:32# But I'm gonna pray

0:50:36 > 0:50:40# Oh

0:50:43 > 0:50:46- # You won't find me in church - No

0:50:46 > 0:50:48- # Or reading the Bible - No

0:50:48 > 0:50:52# But I am still here and I'm still your disciple

0:50:52 > 0:50:54# I'm down on my knees

0:50:54 > 0:50:56# I'm begging you please

0:50:56 > 0:51:00# I'm broken, alone and afraid

0:51:00 > 0:51:02# I'm not a saint

0:51:02 > 0:51:04# I'm more of a sinner

0:51:04 > 0:51:06# I don't wanna lose

0:51:06 > 0:51:08# But I fear for the winners

0:51:08 > 0:51:10# When I try to explain

0:51:10 > 0:51:12# The words run away

0:51:12 > 0:51:16# That's why I am stood here today

0:51:16 > 0:51:20# And I'm gonna pray

0:51:20 > 0:51:24- # Lord - Pray

0:51:24 > 0:51:29- # Lord - Maybe I'll pray

0:51:29 > 0:51:32# Pray for a glimmer of hope

0:51:32 > 0:51:36# Maybe I'll pray

0:51:36 > 0:51:40- # Lord - Pray

0:51:40 > 0:51:45- # Lord - Maybe I'll pray

0:51:45 > 0:51:48# I've never believed in you

0:51:48 > 0:51:50# No, but I'm gonna

0:51:50 > 0:51:51# Won't you call me?

0:51:51 > 0:51:53# Can we have a one-on-one, please?
