Let's talk about your first album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent. But we got there in the end there's some sort of gravel now, but I've probably done irreparable damage to my throat in the process of getting here. I'm trying to do this gravely voice and I sound possessed. If you go back and look at videos of me when I'm 14 to 16 or 17, it sounds f-ing awful. I'm at a very early pubescent stage and didn't really have a deep voice. I want to try and sing like that with that power behind his voice. That was when I realized, okay, I want to do this raspy voice thing. It was a cover of "With a Little Help From My Friends" by the Beatles. Then I remember the first time I ever heard Joe Cocker sing. There's a Scottish artist called Paolo Nutini who I'm a huge fan of he's f-ing incredible. I was never really like, "Oh, I want to be this person." I just always found people's voices very interesting, people like Freddie Mercury and even Bob Dylan - there's something unusual about his voice that when I came across it, it pulled me to him and then later on his lyrics as well. Who else besides Queen did you look up to or want to be like? The thing is, even if I was s-t, they would've had to just clap along because I was 4 years old. To this day, it's still the most fun I've ever had, pre-puberty. It was just one of those things, where I didn't even know necessarily what I was doing, but I liked that feeling of being up on stage. So I went back up and asked if I could sing another one. I got up and I sang "We Will Rock You." Before I even knew what music really was, or being a musician was, I remember just really enjoying the feeling of being up and singing in front of everyone and them seeming to enjoy it. I'm sure they were expecting probably some parents or some newly-divorced people trying to find themselves - I don't know what they were expecting, but they got me. Then the cabaret people asked us if anyone wanted to come up and sing. For some reason, I was just obsessed with those two songs and kept listening to them over and over again.
#WHAT IS THE LEWIS CAPALDI SOMEONE YOU LOVED VIDEO ABOUT FREE#
There was a CD you used to get free in the newspaper and this particular one had "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" on it. At the time I was really obsessed with Queen. I was on holiday with my parents in France we used to go caravan-ing and one night there was a cabaret band playing.
