I think we're close enough, could I lock in your love?

When I first heard "Latch" a couple of years ago I knew it was going to be a hit in the US. I didn't realize it would take a couple of years before it did so. Unfortunately, a lot of good music slips through the cracks with all the over-synthesized trash that litters the radio waves in the United States.

Nonetheless, "Latch" got some love on the air waves and Sam Smith has become a huge hit. Concert tickets to see him live are going anywhere from $75-$400 a seat! Like Adele, Sam Smith has a very unique and powerful voice. I literally had to comb through over 40 videos before I found a couple of covers that I felt paid some respect during the chorus to Smith's voice.

Those of you that know me know my love for finding the perfect cover. Sometimes I find it, sometimes I don't, and this one was definitely one of the most challenging. But... I think I've found a couple that sound pretty damn good.

My criteria for finding the perfect cover includes minimal production, a unique arrangement in vocals and instrumental, as well as the ability of the artist to grab you right away. 

Below you will find my favorites including the original music video release ft. Sam Smith.  I also included the lyrics at the very bottom. Enjoy.

(Never [3x])

You lift my heart up when the rest of me is down (never)
You, you enchant me even when you're not around (never)
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down (never)
I’m latching on, babe, now I know what I have found (never)

I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I think we’re close enough
Could I lock in your love, baby?

Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go of you (never)
Got you shackled in my embrace
I’m latching on to you (never)

Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go of you (never)
Got you shackled in my embrace
I’m latching on to you (never)

I’m so encaptured, got me wrapped up in your touch (never)
Feel so enamored, hold me tight within your clutch (never)
How do you do it, you got me losing every breath (never)
What did you give me to make my heart beat out my chest (never)

I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I think we’re close enough
Could I lock in your love, baby?
I feel we’re close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I think we’re close enough
Could I lock in your love, baby?

Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go of you (never)
Got you shackled in my embrace
I’m latching on to you (never)

Now I got you in my space
I won’t let go of you (never)
Got you shackled in my embrace
I’m latching on to you (never)

Latching on to you
I won’t let go of you (never)
Latching on to you
I won’t let go of you
(Never let go, I won't let go)
