Same Henshaw - Broke

Samm Henshaw - Broke

[Verse 1]
It's been a week from hell, I lost my job at Five Guys
My girl just kicked me out, she says I'm lame (Horns)
Maybe she's got a point, who gets the sack from Five Guys?
She thinks I'm so incapable of change

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can cut down on my sleep
Give you what you need
Take time and make time, girl
I can stop procrastinating, oh
Be a little more prepared
Show you that I care
I love you, I swear, girl, oh
But tell me

[Chorus]
If I wasn't broke, ooh
Would you spend more time with me like you said you'd do? Oh yeah
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
'Cause the only thing I need is to be loved by you

[Verse 2]
I'm starting out my seventh day of sofa surfing
Parading in my Calvin's with no shame (good lord)
I sit and think to myself, I've hit the low
But look around and see no one to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I can cut down on my sleep
Give you what you need
Take time and make time
I can stop procrastinating, woah-woah-woah-woah
Be a little more prepared
Show you that I care
I love you, I swear, girl, oh
But tell me

[Chorus]
If I wasn't broke, ooh
Would you spend more time with me like you said you'd do? Oh yeah
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
'Cause the only thing I need is to be loved by you

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Chorus]
If I wasn't broke, ooh
Would you spend more time with me like you said you'd do? Yeah
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
'Cause the only thing I need is to be loved by you, oh

얼마전 유튜브 서핑을 하다가 우연히 보게 된 뮤직비디오이다. 

음악 도입부에 트럼펫 소리를 듣자마자 이거다! 라고 생각했고, 그후 이틀동안은 Samm Henshaw의 음악만 들은 것 같다. 

Samm Henshaw는 94년생의 영국 싱어송라이터로 노래를 듣고 있으면 목소리가 소울 그 자체라는 생각이 든다. 

뭔가 Gospel music 느낌도 난다고 생각했는데, 알고보니 목사 아버지 밑에서 교회를 다니며 음악을 시작했다고 한다.

Lauryn Hill, John Legend, Stevie Wonder의 음악을 듣고 자란 그는, 자신의 음악 스타일을 “soulful mixture of gospel and hip-hop” 라고 표현한다.

Samm Henshaw - Only Wanna Be with you 

Samm Henshaw - How Does It Feel?

“How Does It Feel”was inspired by the things happening around me that I found frustrating. I want people to stop talking about love and start living it. They talk, scream about it, say it’s this and that, but when it comes down to it, they act differently to what they say. It’s not just romantic love, but kindness and love for others. I see someone getting mugged and people not doing anything to help them because they care about their own safety. I want to see people showing that sort of love that isn’t just kindness.
