conversations.value: Write me a song called Drowning Shadows with the following description: Called “the saddest song I have ever written,” “Drowning Shadows” is the title track from the Drowning Shadows Edition re-release of Sam Smith’s 2014 debut album, In The Lonely Hour. The track describes Smith’s feelings of loneliness while living in London – as they described in an interview with Zane Lowe, it was written with a literal crossroads in mind:
  One road would lead to gay clubs that I used to go out to and then the other road would go home and I was in such a lonely, sad place when I was writing this album that sometimes I would literally have to choose, ’Do I go home to nothing? Or stay out for more?’ And that was a genuine choice for me some nights.”
  “Drowning Shadows” was written before many of the hits from In The Lonely Hour, including “Stay With Me” and “I’m Not The Only One”, but wasn’t included on the album because Smith felt the production never fit the song well. They revisited the song while discussing the album repackage with their label, and “it came alive again” when they sang it with a simple piano accompaniment.
  An unreleased recording of the song from St. Pancras Old Church in London surfaced online in early 2015. Its official release came on November 2, 2015 as Zane Lowe’s World Record on Beats 1.
  This song is powerful and many will relate to it. Apart from Sam’s pure, haunting voice which expresses the meaning so effectively, many listeners admire their honesty and courage in telling this story of casual sex, drink and unhappiness. In interviews they sound upbeat and anything but self-pitying, yet their performances are heart-breaking. It is this combination — controlled and unique voice; sincere, relatable and skilled song-writing; a story that is searingly sad — that has won Sam their fans and success.
  The song shares similarities with “Drowning Shadow” to the slow 2nd Movement of Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto. It is unlikely that Sam Smith intended this though, and no comments have been made about the similarities either. Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

conversations.value: [Verse 1]
  Running 'round, chasing hearts
  Chasing bodies to fix the parts
  I don't know how I reached this place
  So far from heaven, so far from grace
  [Pre-Chorus]
  Am I wrong to give in to the pressure?
  'Cause I feel like the city's got the better of me
  Oh, this casual love isn't what it seems
  And I try to imagine something closer
  And somebody who is good for me
  I'm so tired of all this searching
  Do I, do I, do I, do I...
  [Chorus]
  Go home to nothing or stay out for more?
  Give in to someone or lock down my door?
  Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?
  I'm drowning shadows once more
  [Verse 2]
  The more I drink, the more I drown
  If I'm not thinking, I won't get down
  The more I rise above it all
  The less I care about the fall [Pre-Chorus]
  Am I wrong to give in to the pressure?
  'Cause I feel like the city's got the better of me
  Oh, this casual love isn't what it seems
  And I try to imagine something closer
  And somebody who is good for me
  I'm so tired of all this searching
  Do I, do I, do I, do I...
  [Chorus]
  Go home to nothing or stay out for more?
  Give in to someone or lock down my door?
  Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?
  I'm drowning shadows once more
  Once more
  Once more, ooh
  [Chorus]
  Go home to nothing or stay out for more?
  Give in to someone or lock down my door?
  Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?
  I'm drowning shadows once more
