All my tropes have been used up on another love:
- Alternate Music Video: "Another Love" has two versions. The first
, released in November 2012, features Odell sitting on an armchair while a girl attempts to get his attention. The second, released in May 2013 and dubbed the "short film" version, features Odell spreading missing person notices for a woman around city streets and to random civilians. - Face on the Cover: The cover of Long Way Down is a picture of Tom standing in the middle of a street path.
- The First Cut Is the Deepest: "Another Love" is all about this. The singer desperately wants to show his new partner how much he cares, but has difficulties with this because he's still deeply hurt by a previous relationship.And I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up - Grow Old with Me: One of his songs from his debut album is named exactly that.Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I - Lonely Piano Piece: His songs are usually solemn piano ballads, such as "Heal".
- One-Word Title: "Heal" and "Sirens".
- Precision F-Strike: In "Another Love".And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight
But my hand's been broken one too many times
So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude - Radio Friendliness: Downplayed, but the radio edit of "Another Love" replaced "I'll be so fucking rude" with "I'll be so damn rude".
