Songwriter: Jimmy Napes Howard Lawrence Guy Lawrence Sam Smith

[Verse 1]
Hmm, I'm feeling something, something different
When you left, the picture changed
I was blinded, I'd not envisioned
The same face in a different frame

[Pre-Chorus]
It's an omen, caught my baby crying
Saw the silver lining
It must be an omen
Needed you to show me
Without you I am lonely

[Chorus]
My mind would rule my heart
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart
But now I see your tears as an omen

[Refrain]
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen

[Verse 2]
You were waiting, I was vacant
You left before my eyes
Then it hit me, you're relocating
And I need you by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
It's an omen, caught my baby crying
Saw the silver lining
It must be an omen
Needed you to show me
Without you I am lonely

[Chorus]
My mind would rule my heart
I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark
It left me torn apart
But now I see your tears as an omen

[Outro]
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen, oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen, oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen, oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Omen

Sam Smith

Sam Smith was born on 19th May 1992 and grew up in a rural village on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, the nearest town being Bishops Stortford. They’re the oldest of three siblings and are said to be close to their younger sisters. Their mother is a successful City of London trader and their father a stay-at-home dad who brought up the children.

Smith showed an early talent for singing, and their parents responded by arranging singing lessons from the age of eight with professional jazz singer and songwriter, Joanna Eden. At the early age of seventeen, they left school to pursue their dream, living in a small one-bed flat and working in a London pub, but ended up isolated and beset by loneliness.

Sam knew they were gay, they said, for as long as they could remember. They suffered bullying at school and were shocked to find that even in London—close to gay communities—they were subjected to homophobic attacks. These negative experiences, combined with an inherently emotional nature, inform their songwriting and delivery. The soulful, beautifully rich tone of their voice and the subject of the lyrics ‘speak’ to many people and have led to their success.
