I came across sam smiths album in the lonely hour in a very low point in my life. I referred to each song at any point in my life to help me through it all. I finally had the opportunity to meet sam in person and i was left speechless. Sam has become my idol and i try to be in their presents whenever they arrive in nyc. I have been a fan since the first launch of the album where sam had a cd signing in brooklyn back in 2013 or 2014
