    Why are James soo underrated? Their music fills you with joy and cheerfulness. Making meaningful and joyous music is extremely difficult like writing meaningful, joyous poetry or any other form of art. Our world is full of depression and those who fight against this monotony should be recognized and admired

      Uh...clearly you haven't heard some of their early stuff. Lester Piggott is about suicide. They juxtapose happiness and despair in every one of their songs. Their most famous song is about mental illness.
      They are a good band. But they aren't about being happy.

      I suffer from bipolar & unlike popular opinion it's nothing like having a split personality. You go through periods of depression maybe sometimes for a month. Then I go through periods of being euphoric & energetic. I love to go to see live bands but if I've bought a ticket & the time comes to go & see the band & I'm in a low mood, I'll maybe drag myself to see the band, but I'll find it very hard to enjoy & usually leave early. Which is similar to what you're saying, you can't listen to certain songs at a certain time. I went to see James live in the summer just gone. They were fantastic. I've got tickets to see them next summer also. Hopefully I'm having a settled time then.

    About 6, 7 years ago, I was a journalist and was so unhappy with my job, I felt I was wasting my life, and I used to play this song so many times a day... I quit my job and started to follow my dream of being a tattoo artist... almost 6 years have passed... couldn't be happier, healthiest, I earn better, have time to workout, been tattoing in countries I did not even thought of going... this song used to inspire me a lot... now those hard times have become good memories

      My story sounds similar to yours. I graduated from art school in 2008 & couldn’t get a job as an apprentice tattoo artist so ended up giving up on my dream & went back to university to study engineering, I worked my way up from the very bottom & eventually ran a successful engineering firm. This year I turned 40 & have realised I chose the wrong carrier path. In 5 years time I want to be able to quit my engineering job & become a tattoo artist! Possible? 🤔😅

Θέλω μια μέρα να είμαι τελείως ανεξάρτητη (οικονομικά, συναισθηματικά ) και να πάρω τη ζωή στα χέρια μου. ξέρω να εκτιμώ τα πράγματα που εχω στη ζωή μου που πάλι καλά είναι αρκετά απλά κάποιες φορές νιώθω άδεια.

      Αυτό που αρχίζω και συνειδητοποιώ πάντως, είναι ότι για να μπορέσει κανείς να ζήσει μια πραγματική ζωή με τα καλά και τα κακά της στο μέγιστο βαθμό, θα πρέπει να ζει με την αβεβαιότητα και το ρίσκο. Και ο μόνος τρόπος να γίνει αυτό, είναι να μάθει να είναι ευάλωτος. Να κοιτάει μέσα του ποιος είναι, τι χρειάζεται βελτίωση και να εκθέτει τον εαυτό του και ό,τι γίνει. Έτσι νομίζω ότι θα έρθει η ανεξαρτησία η συναισθηματική τουλάχιστον. Τώρα για την οικονομική, τι να πω, δεν ξέρω, στο μυαλό μου, πρέπει να βρει κανείς το πάθος του και να αφοσιωθεί σε αυτό. Και αν δεν μπορεί να το βρει, τότε προτιμότερο είναι να ασχοληθεί με κάτι που έχει μέλλον. Όπως και να έχει, πολλές φορές το πάθος είναι επίκτητο και όχι όσο ρομαντικό φαίνεται στις ταινίες.

    I left a Venezuela ruled by a single political party-military coalition in early 2017 and entered Europe with little less than 500$ in my account, and no one to run to. I started doing porter jobs very late at night when not cleaning touristic apartments in downtown Madrid, all under the table. What I made was essential to eat, and any other night had to sleep in the streets. 5 years have passed, and now I can afford my own place and have a decent full-time permanent job. It is all about temper and focusing even in the darkest moments. Big hug to everyone out there struggling to make whatever it is, you'll end up doing it.

Maybe that’s what’s really messed up-we don’t even think we deserve it.

The whole festival sat down for 'Sit Down' which was followed by 'Sometimes' The rasping acoustic guitar intro ripped out of the sound system and everybody leapt into the air. It must have been around 1990/91 and they're as relevant right now as they were back then. Absolute TIMELESS CLASSICS..!
