The ending when he goes all out is fucking breathtaking man no other words to describe it
Agreed. Love it.
If you ever have the chance to see him perform live, do it. I didn't have high expectations because I wasn't that familiar with his music. He is one of the best performers I have ever seen.
This song explains exactly my situation I left and traveled over 2000 miles always just to get away from the one who stole and broke my heart.
I feel your pain bro.
The voice of an angel!
St JAMES Church? Brilliant!
The way he weaves stories and sound is "haunting".
They stay with you through the day and leave one with wonder.
MORE James, bring us MORE!!!
listen first time (check)
put headphones on (check)
volume max lvl (check)
repeat all day (check)
i love that he sounds BETTER live! unfortunately, we can't say that about too many "artists" today. bravo dude. bravo!
Amazingly beautiful
His voice is so smooth it's really relaxing
James Vincent McMorrow and Jacko Hooper, set for big things this year i think, so great to see so many great artists coming through,
Golden, golden, golden river run
To the East then drop beneath the sun
And as the moon lies low and overhead
We're lost
Burn slow, burning up the back wall
Long roads, where the city meets the sky
Most days, most days stay the sole same
Please stay, for this fear it will not die
If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Down low, down amongst the thorn rows
Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine
Birds play, try to find their own way
Soft clay, on your feet and under mine
If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Splitting at the seams
Heaving at the brace
Sheets all billowing
Breaking of the day
Sea is not my friend
And everyone conspires
Still I choose to swim
Slip beneath the tide
Once I had a dream
Once I had a hope
That was yesterday
Not so long ago
This is not the end
This is just the world
Such a foolish thing
Such an honest girl
If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Wow
This song always goes through my soul
The ending never ceases to give me goosebumps and I’ve literally listened to this version hundreds of times. Love the buildup and climax.
@OtherVoicesLive - You could. You could say - He has a bloody outstanding voice. Or b'jesus christ that is one hell of a good voice... or... quite a few things
His voice is like a mix of Dallas Green and the singer of Matthew and the Atlas. Quite the combo.
A true artist here, please make way!
no words.
His music is so much more beautiful live. Breath taking!
Still listening
I want to sing like this guy
You don't need a boat when you've learned to float...
On your own. Nothing but yourself, the moon and waiting for the warmth of the morning sun.
Then the shore appears.
I have seen him live and he was excellent.
Quality songs, passion and joy in the performance and the band were wow!!!.
Hw had two female members of the group who stole the show. I hope to see them play live music post plague.
Sea is not my friend
And everyone conspires
Still I choose to swim
Slip beneath the tide
I don't have enough thumbs. He's the best!
Holy Shit. What a voice. What a song. I'm inlove.

"Once, I had a dream - it died long before. Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore" If I had a boat, I'd take you wherever your pain would be replaced with happiness. If I had a boat...you'd be ok. I love you dad...
that performance made a shed a tear
Amazing talent.. The song is great by itself, however his voice is hauntingly good!!!
So powerful and beautiful, yet simple.
I am totally in love with this song! Amazing... i can't get enough of his music.. outstanding. So vunerable.. Thanks for sharing :-)

Well done Jimmy. I'll be home in September. I always spend a couple of days in Allihies, West Cork whenever i go home. But next time I'm gonna visit the Church of Saint James in Dingle for sure.
@DKP4 we have to agree.... this year he sings cover versions of songs he heard in previous series of Other Voices. His version of 'Blood Buzz, Ohio" is a particular favorite of mine...
He is such a beautiful artist. I am in love...
Ethereal and so deeply moving x
He has my heart
food for the soul.
This is talent.

Is there a HIGH QUALITY audio version of this performance that can be purchased or downloaded somewhere? This is probably the best version to me. So many feelings when I hear this version. Any help is appreciated please and thanks you!
