He wrote this song after he went to Iraq and he saw what the war and stuff had done to the people. "Everyone prays in the end"

Great reaction and yes, I agree. A very powerful song. To answer your question about this song here is the way Sam explained what inspired him to write it in an interview he gave to the Independent UK: "He cried when he talked about writing “Pray”, a song from his new album The Thrill of It All. He cried when he talked about the children he met in Mosul, Iraq, on a recent humanitarian mission, and then he looked down at the sparrow tattoo he got on his arm when he returned home, with “Be good, be kind” written in Arabic beneath it, and he cried again."

He went to Iraq and saw the war and work with charities. That’s what inspired Pray

I agree with you on this beautiful song, sung from the soul of someone in despair. The words really touch you and like he says in the song. " In the end we all pray", when life has beat us down. One of the best songs I've heard in a while. Great reaction Phil. Thanks for posting this. WOW!

I totally agree, Phil, in that I felt that Sam was singing from something personal in his life. I am certainly aware that there are performers who have the talent to bring such passion to a song, without a personal connection to the song. However, either way, if the listener is made to feel something and question the singers connection to the song, the presentation was perfect.

I did not expect you to have that voice at the beginning 😩
