LYRICS
If I was astronaut
I’d be floating in mid-air
And a broken heart would just belong
To someone else down there
I would be the centre
Of my lonely universe
But I’m only human
And I’m crashing down to earth

If I was an astronaut
I’d have a birds eye view
I’d circle round the world
And keep on coming back to you
In my floating castle
I’d rub shoulders with the stars
But I’m only human
And I’m drifting in the dark

I’m up in space, man!
Up in space, man!
I’ve searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
There’s nothing but space, man!
And I wanna go home

If I was an astronaut
I’d speak to satellites
My navigation systems
Would search for other life
But I’d be up here thinking
‘Bout what I left behind
‘Cause I’m only human
With the real world on my mind

I’m up in space, man!
Up in space, man!
I’ve searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
There’s nothing but space, man!
And I wanna go home

Gravity keeps pulling me down
As long as you're on the ground I’ll stick around

I’m up in space, man!
Up in space, man!
I’ve searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
There’s nothing but space, man!
Oh, I’m in the wrong place, man!
Nothing but space, man!
Nothing but space, man!
I’ve searched around the universe
Been down some black holes
There’s nothing but space, man…
And I wanna go home

About Sam Ryder

In 2020, as the world went into lockdown, Sam Ryder uploaded the first of his now infamous covers that quickly caught the attention of some famous fans (think Elton John) with compilations appearing on The Ellen Show & BBC's Newsbeat. As the content kept coming, so did the fans, amassing 10 million on socials by the end of the year. Fast forward to 2021 and Sam was crowned as TikTok's most popular UK artist account for the second year in a row.

In 2021, Sam released his 5-song EP 'The Sun's Gonna Rise' including track 'Whirlwind' that describes Sam’s journey - spending much of his adult life writing and performing in bands, living in Hawaii and owning a vegan coffee shop; before he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a solo artist.

Sam's first show in London sold out in under 10 minutes, nearly as quickly as his first full UK tour. Ready to make his first live foray into Europe and beyond, world domination in 2022 might not be a stretch too far for this incredible talent.

I wouldn't even be mad if you just did everything as a piano version - this is so beautiful, your voice doesn't need much else to shine.

[s.m.h.u.]

I love it! Elements of Elton John and Freddie Mercury, but with his own unique style. Absolutely gorgeous

[gingerbeardman]

Anyone else getting the Freddy Mercury Vibes? Dude is absolutely SLAYING it. Keep up the good work brother. 🤙🏻

[shmiffy]

Don't care what anyone says, you should have won Eurovision. Performance was incredible. Second place is still an amazing achievement so congratulations.

[annehyden]

[kayhinton]

Absolutely delighted to hear that this humble but wonderful artist has been invited to perform at the Queens Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. WELL DONE SAM!!! So proud for you!!!

[ianhamilton]

Win or lose mate, we all know you are brilliant. Good luck.

[benjaminblackburn]

Come on United Kingdom let's make it happen it's your time to shine at Eurovision Song Contest this year

[markyturner]

I am developing an unhealthy obsession for this song.. but damn, it may be the best eurovision entry for a decade, seriously. The fact that it works so well in pure voice as well as with backing, wow...

[RM-ljbv]

So surprised that The U.K. actually has someone who can sing with a descent song this year representing us at Eurovision.

[levisalvini]

This man is LEGENDARY!

Thank you for your magical voice❤️

[Funkyappeltj]

Okay I'm calling it, this guy is gonna win Eurovision 2022

[thevithunshow]

I hope the rumours are true because I want this to be the UK Eurovision entry so badly! This would be such an intelligent and competitive choice.

[alanross]

This is exactly how it should be presented on the night. The orchestrated version risks it getting lost amongst the other entries. The piano version gives it a unique quality. Less is far more.

[Halyna_Babych]

I've finally found my song. Thank you Sam Ryder for 'Cause I’m only human with the real world on my mind'.

[Canthatcrazy]

"Was that OK?"

I love humble people. No Sam, that wasn't OK, that was

[Virce]

I'm Spanish, and I still think you're a great guy and you deserved to win Eurovision. Space man represented me more than any other.

[pauljohnstone]

I cry my eyes out everyone I watch this. It’s a beautiful thing. 👌

If only this version was on spotify. This is so good.

This is quite stunning. I was expecting something totally different by seeing that tall Viking stud. And was pretty surprised. That's the best UK song entry in ages. Finally. This is an excellent song. And so difficult to sing even in a lower key. Wow. Excellent! Just excellent.
