While speaking to the press after winning four Grammys, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year with “Stay With Me,” Sam Smith joked, “What’s beautiful about this record to me is I didn’t play a character. It was just me being me. I was living my life and just spoke about it through music, and I’m going to do the same again.” Smith’s own period of heartbreak fueled his lyrics, and he said he hopes to share the result with the man who inspired it when he returns to England. Smith added, “I’ll be seeing him soon. So I can let him touch the Grammy — once.”
