Lewis Capaldi’s New Video: Watch Here

Lewis Capaldi has released a second music video for his heartbreaking tune “Someone You Loved.” It follows the previously released visual starring his distant cousin, Doctor Who actor Peter Capaldi, which raised awareness for organ donation.

“I wanted to show another side to the song,” says Capaldi. “For me the video is about the people we surround ourselves with that have the strength when we don’t and help us continue to make the right decisions in moments of fear or hardship. In the moment we often choose to ignore friends and family, thinking our judgment is better, but of course in hindsight when you’re in that headspace it’s almost impossible to make the right decisions.”

The RIAA has certified Capaldi’s breakout single, “Someone You Loved,” as Platinum. The song shattered records throughout Europe and is now certified Platinum or greater in a total of 14 countries. “Someone You Loved” spent a nearly unprecedented seven weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. Official Singles chart and continues to climb on the Billboard Hot 100, now entering the Top 15. Capaldi also held the No. 1 position on Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits, hit Top 20 on the Spotify U.S. chart, topped the Pandora chart and reached No. 2 on the global Shazam chart.

Capaldi said, “When I found out about this today, I thought it was a joke. I still think it must be some kind of elaborate joke I’m not in on! Thank you to everyone who bought it, streamed it or shouted it at a stranger in a park, I’m thinking my record label surely can’t drop me in the next 6 months after this. That is the real achievement here, the dream of a slightly chubby boy from Scotland singing sad songs lives on. “

“Someone You Loved” is from Capaldi’s debut album, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
