Damon Scott, 86th Street Subway Busker, Sings Moving Rendition Of Adele's 'Someone Like You' (VIDEO)

Today in beautiful subway performances, we give you this: a man's moving rendition of Adele's "Someone Like You" on the platform at 86th Street.

Even if you're tired of hearing the song EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME, or if it instantly makes you cry, this is well-worth a watch, and an instant busker classic.

In the video, uploaded to YouTube by Refinery29, Damon Scott ends his performance to the applause of straphangers.

It's a little hard to hear what he says to his audience afterwards, but it sounds like, "If you ever see someone perform that song and they don't drop a tear, dont' give 'em shit. If they don't feel a little twitch, don't give 'em nothing, 'cause that song ain't nothing but love. It's a little hurt in there, but it's a lot of love, and that's why everyone can relate to it..."

He saved a life today by climbing onto the tracks and carrying someone out who fell in. Someone "discover" this awesome dude.

this guy's name doesn't seem to be 'damon scott'... i think his name is "ade" and he says in another video to go to "adescorner"... i think this is his youtube channel, though not much activity on it... anyway - for what it's worth, that cover of someone like you is AMAZING!
