HIM Lyrics » Sam Smith
[Verse 1]
Holy Father, we need to talk
I have a secret that I can’t keep
I’m not the boy that you thought you wanted
Please don’t get angry, have faith in me
[Chorus]
Say I shouldn’t be here but I can’t give up his touch
It is him I love, it is him
Don’t you try and tell me that God doesn’t care for us
It is him I love, it is him I love
[Verse 2]
I walk the streets of Mississippi
I hold my lover by the hand
I feel you staring when he is with me
How can I make you understand?
[Chorus]
Say I shouldn’t be here but I can’t give up his touch
It is him I love, it is him
Don’t you try and tell me that God doesn’t care for us
It is him I love, it is him I love
[Bridge]
Ohh, ohh
Oh, I love
Ohh, ohh
No, no, I love
Ohh, ohh
I love
Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh
Him I love
Ohh, ohh
Him I love
Ohh, ohh
Him I love
Ohh, ohh
Him I love

About Sam Smith’s HIM from The Thrill of It All (2017)
A standout on
The Thrill Of It All
, “HIM” is a story of a boy coming out of the closet to a combined father/priest/God figure. This boy wishes to make those who disapprove understand that no matter how hard he tries, nothing and no one can change him. Note that this is not a story about Sam, who has always praised their parents for their support and acceptance of who and what they are.
In an interview with
NME
Sam spoke at length about this track, saying,
This is not my story … it’s for the LGBT Community.
They also refer to the intolerance in some American states. Their reference in the song to ‘the streets of Mississippi’ is a
metaphor
for all intolerant societies, including Australia where, they say, the situation for the LGBT community ‘… is not where it should be.’ After years of ‘coming out’ stories in past decades, in many communities nothing has changed. So the stories need re-telling again and again for every generation.
Mississippi scared the shit out of me and I wanted to write about it. I am gay and my music is gay. It’s so important to speak about this … we should be addressing these issues. We should be talking — shouting about this.
The assertive tone of the NME interview is mirrored in the lyric, notably the line where the boy says ‘Don’t you try to tell me that God doesn’t care for us (gay people).’ For all his trepidation this boy can give a sharp rebuke to the priest/father figure.
The gospel influences in the production, especially the choir, fit the mournful yet angst-ridden mood. In an Apple Music video, entitled ‘On the Record;
The Thrill of it All
’, Brendan Grieve, bass player who was responsible for much of the production, described the sound as ‘stark gospel’. Pianist,
Reuben James
, also commented that the title is ‘… a play on words. We wanted it to be in the style of a traditional hymn.’
