conversations.value: Write me a song called Moments with the following description: Recorded in 2009 by Venus and Mars Music, this Sam Smith song was never formally released, but became available unofficially as a single in May 2015 by Kosmo Records.  The song also appears on an album collection of Sam’s early recordings entitled The lost Tapes, which was made available on the same date.  There was no promotional marketing and Sam Smith did not give his approval for these releases. He has never spoken about them apart from one social media post urging his fans not to buy them.

  Sam Smith was a teenager when he recorded ‘Moments’.  Sam has said that his father used to drive him after school to a recording studio in London. It is the work of a boy just starting out in the music business and is a curiosity in that the initial reaction of most people is that ‘this doesn’t sound like Sam Smith’. The richness and unique quality of his voice has been either lost in the recording process or else Sam’s voice hadn’t fully matured. Yet there is definitely something of Sam that the ear picks up.

  The song has is a rhythmic beat and catchy if unoriginal, bland melody. It feels like a precursor to later songs – notably ‘Omen’ and ‘La La La’ and ‘Like I Can’. Sam’s delivery is flawless, but it lacks the emotional punch, inventiveness and sophistication of his later recordings.
  The lyric is difficult to decipher, but the version on this page is a reasonable approximation. Listener reactions on Youtube are positive, but predictably they comment that the power of Sam’s later work is missing. A few prefer this to the intensity of emotion and pain expressed in Sam’s more mature songs. It does, however, lack the depth of ‘In the Lonely Hour. This is foot-tapping dance music, but not music to play in moments of nostalgia or to  remember past sorrows.
  Given its limitations I think Sam was definitely right not to release this and the other songs on The Lost Tapes. It is fascinating, though, to listen to it and recognize the extraordinary potential, the talentExpand Share Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

  Moments I make momentarily mine
  Are moments I take a step back in time
  Each step that I take is leading me to
  A time when I felt closer to you
  Moments I gain, moments I lose
  I'm just giving time trying to find
  What we had once has been left behind
  Here we both stand as it slips through our hands
  (Chorus)
  We know we can
  We can survive
  Survive the fall
  That comes before the rise
  (Verse 2)
  Moments we care a little too much
  Moments we care are never enough
  Claiming to pride, hitching on high
  What we truly feel we push to the side
  Moments we gain are moments we lose
  We're just giving time trying to find
  What we had once has been left behind
  Here we stand as it slips through our hands (Chorus)
  We know we can
  We can survive
  Survive the fall
  That comes before the rise
  That comes before the rise
  Are we just getting time trying to find
  What we had once has left behind
  And here we stand as it slips through our hands
  (Chorus x2)
  We know we can
  We can survive
  Survive the fall
  That comes before the rise
  Moments we gain are moments, are moments
  Moments we gain are moments we lose
