I honestly think this is one of the most beautiful duets I have ever heard...

[britnelson]

I’m a straight, married, white, religious upper middle class lady with two kids and a dog. I live in utopia and I’m grateful for it. The lyric ‘after fighting for the right’ slayed me. No one in the world could keep me from my love and my babies. We’ve been through hell and back, but no government has ever told me my family is not welcome. I will vote and fight for all marriages so they can have their own kind of marriages of whatever they want. Home is where your people are. We are each other’s. I’m sorry you had to fight for the right to love your person.

[BrandiCarlile]

“Party Of One” was recorded live at Capitol studios and this session was produced by Dave Cobb.

There has never been a voice like Sam Smith’s, they are a complete unicorn.
Sam and I came together for a cause near and dear to our hearts and a portion of the profits will go to Children in Conflict. Sam and I will be telling you more about this incredible organization over the coming days... Until then I hope you enjoy this video!

That pianist knows he’s witnessing musical magic. 💙

[tessquarles]

I dont know if I'm more upset that this is my first time hearing this ABSOLUTE piece of art, OR the fact that it's not all over the place. THIS is what I want to hear on the radio!! UNBELIEVABLEY BEAUTIFUL !! Please more duets from these two!!!

[EmJang]

Someone give the piano man a mic! He’s feeling it ❤️

[michaelougarezos]

I lost my darling after 45 wonderful years and i went into deep depression and lost all my motivation. We shared so many great songs together and thanks to listening to you both i am carrying on listening to your songs with my wife's spirit beside me .

[anthonyfernandez]

I'm kind of speechless at how freakin' sublime these two voices are individually, not to mention what happens when they come together. They become intoxicating, like brandy (excuse the pun) to my ears and my heart, at once soothing, yet powerfully cathartic. Thank you for this gift of a collaboration.

[flacidbeach]

why are we not hearing this song on the radio? Finally, Brandi is being recognized. A phenomenal singer song writer.

[rdickinsondickinson]

Brandi’s angelic voice resonates through the halls of my mind and soul and heart.

[Baby_Doll]

This is an amazing duet. Those are some beautiful harmonies. They've got the voices of angels.

[TamaraT]

Still one of my favorites. The words are so absolutely beautiful. She is a poet

[Sambubdo]

Sam's piano player will *never* fail to impress me. The man is amazing.

[filipemilheiro]

Congratulations
Is just what I have to say
Came here for Sam
But Brandi let me tell you
Your voice is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
Congratulations

Lyrics:
Waiter send this to the table, the party of one
The only other lonely soul in this place
And so you're finishing up your coffee
But then where you're gonna run?
Where'd you get that look on your face?
You should always let the sun go down on your anger
Let it burn you to sleep
Bring it closer to danger
To surrender and retreat
Sing your sad soul to sleep
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
But I am tired
And I am yours
Don't even think about your freedom
Or taking that flight
Or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right
Because your eggshells and your right statements
And your weaponized words
Are paper tigers now
Oh your constant overthinking and your secretive drinking
Are making you more and more alone
And girl, you can slam the door behind you
It ain't ever gonna close
Because when you're home, you're already home
I am tired
I am tired
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I don't wanna be right anymore
Lord, I don't wanna fight anymore
I'm not taking your side anymore
I am tired
I am not my own
And I am leaving
And I'm coming home
'Cause I am yours,
I am yours, I am yours,
I am yours, I am yours
I am yours,
I am yours, I am yours
I am yours, I am yours

[DaetrinKiri]

Listen, we all know that Sam Smith is wondrous...but the way that Brandi wraps her melodies around his in her dark and light melody makes the yearning of this song so much more profound.

[rac]

Finally. Brandi Carlie has been so underrated for so long it’s been so annoying

[leonardodavidgugugogogaga]

I think Brandie Carlile is so underrated. She's a great vocalist and her performances are so raw most of the time.

[HoustonKeith]

I am leveled. How did I not know this collaboration existed. I never would have thought to put these two voices together. Wow. Beautiful and moving beyond measure.

[kenyalfaro]

Duo of authentic voices.. Each in its own style without superimposing one on the other... A unique, sweet, sensitive piece of music... That touches the heart.
