Once in a lifetime, a very special singer comes along... I am 52 years old, like many kinds of music, but this young man is so unique. I cannot find the words, just too good for words... I hope we all may enjoy Mr. Bay for a long, long time.
Serious question that I could probably find the answer to if I looked, but I'm not sure if I want to know or not haha. Do you think he is singing about a past broken relationship or is he singing the song to himself about himself and possible trouble with losing who he was/is.....
personally i think it sounds better than studio cant beat live to much auto tune on music nowdays half these singers with hits sound terrible live nice to see another artist who can actually sing rofl
I kept hurt and pain hidden for a long time, joy also. It must be that our emotions, good or bad, are all part of 1 “thing”. I dunno. Anyway, it took years for me to get like that, see I didn’t really notice, I was basically numb. Then I relaxed in bed 1 night and really listened to James Bay through my headphones: like a limb waking from pins and needles, I started to hurt, feel, then cry. It wasn’t bad though, because I could feel again. Music can do so much if you let it. He will never read this but, thank you so much James. Your gift basically bought me back to life. I’ll be forever grateful.
Its been 7 years,7 long years now,still attached to this song,playing it every day since rhose hard and tiring days up to now,its not about heartache for me,it about struggles,pain,regrets,disappointments,high hopes,depressions,its about i should've and would've,its about fixing the past while fighting the present and fearing for future,this song reminds me everytime
The heart seems like reducing to dust as we listen to it... I really don't know how to use words to explain... James, you help me be a better person.Thank you for it. Bless you...
Lewis, in this World,no man had emotions, I was born in 1954, in Suffolk England, I love music,but, Lewis,you have taken my breath,away,your song sings,a man in love,!!!! Maybe some men,can really find love, listening to your music,men have to be taught emotions, love
Bay you’re so incredible. Love this song you and Berry wrote but damn rips my heart out and slams it on the floor till all I’m doing is crying. Ha That’s what makes a great song. Thank you for sharing your gift with the planet. Hugs from Ohio
@@richikdadhich2914 Easy on guitar for an accomplished guitarist, but try coming up with it and singing it simultaneously to this level ...is my point.
@@gibbethoskins8621 yeah, I agree with you. James Bay’s vocal range is amazing and t’s not easy to come up with something like this. However, this was one of the first songs I learned when I started playing the guitar a few years ago. Hence, a correct example of “extremely difficult” to play and sing would be something like Voodoo Child or Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Neon by John Mayer and Big Love by Fleetwood Mac.
@@richikdadhich2914 I've been a professional guitarist and singer for 17years, performed on TV in front of millions of people and played large festivals over my career and i find this song quite difficult to play and sing simultaneously, so i definitely wouldn't put it in the beginner category. The guitar alone is quite simple but it's that melody over the top which i find tricky. My 2nd guitarists plays the songs you mentioned with ease but find this style quite difficult, everyone has different abilities and strengths when it comes to guitar styles and vocals.
I'm rrying to learn to play this song and sing along not the greatest singing byt its fun but the timings are so wierd when you do at the same timw definitely agree with you here
Same this was the first song that I heard and get some interest to his Music Until it becomes my daily routine playing all of his song on Spotify and often here in youtube.
To start the lyrics are so pure and poetic catching love same as the ending of it, the painful necessity to go seperate ways although memories of loving still tie you together...the melody and play of the guitar simple and hearttouching at the same time, is absolutely hypnotic, to always start all over again.The singing and voice is unique full of emotion although far from being perfect it goes strait to the heart.the head voice so soft but intense and intimate gives the feeling He is singing next to you and only for you...beautiful combination with energetic changes to chestvoice at the right parts giving the Song the right flow, the honest and straight chestvoice singing at the end, not 100 percent perfect, is even more emotional, one of the most beautiful Songs to my ears, thank you for that wonderful Song James Bay ur awsome
Best vibe i ever had before i smoked a joint 🥦 was in a constant chill high for about 20 minutes audio thru AirPods 2 👌, very good high quality audio capture BBCRadio1 ❤️ enjoyed it with both of my ears ✌🏾
I gave you all I have to give. I loved you more than myself. I lost myself along the way. I adapted to you and your lifestyle, but I wasn't enough for you. I'm sorry. I hope you find happiness. I still love you.
These songs make me feel on a level that is unparalleled. Complex emotions that I run from during the day, on a consistent basis. It's 2am Eastern Standard Time. I can't sleep again. I have hardly done any of that , since I called it quits. The idea we could work is a delusion. I could send you a million spiteful texts , point out your bad character traits, express my deep "hatred" and tell you what to fix about yourself, but that isn't my place. You ripped my heart out, then stepped , and spit on the pieces. I had to Let It Go for me. That doesn't make me miss you any less.
The guitar... the voice. It's like the sound of loneliness and heartache.
ParadoxKismet lol feel that 🙂 heartache to everything 😂😩
Probably brexit
And most of us can relate to it. That's kinda the beauty of it. It's a real song!
Yes hard to listen to
It's perfect for my heart
His voice absolutely resonates with every heart ever broken.
His voice is just so fucking beautiful.
Calm down lol
ibrahim dar how the tf you hear her voice??
dudes got it locked down thats for sure .. voice ...playing .. just amazingly talented
Sometimes a song is just pure magic. This is one of those times.
his voice is heaven. i love it so much
Amen!
ibrahim dar stop being creepy at every girl’s comments dude
No autotunes and stuffs. Just pure talent.
What an incredible musician! All these young British singers are brilliant!
m Check our Aquilo! They are amazing. More British awesomeness. ❤️
Once in a lifetime, a very special singer comes along... I am 52 years old, like many kinds of music, but this young man is so unique. I cannot find the words, just too good for words... I hope we all may enjoy Mr. Bay for a long, long time.
He is fantastic. But once in a lifetime talent. Cmon now, there are plenty of talented singers out there
Definitely a sound and talent all his own. No other artist alike, that's for sure.
I'll never get tired of that guitar.
Break up anthem for decades to come.. love this song so much! So relatable, emotional, just amazing!
Serious question that I could probably find the answer to if I looked, but I'm not sure if I want to know or not haha.
Do you think he is singing about a past broken relationship or is he singing the song to himself about himself and possible trouble with losing who he was/is.....
live sounds the same as a studio😍😍😍
Ikr
Lizzie Odeire He's that good. 😊👍
even better than the studio version
personally i think it sounds better than studio cant beat live to much auto tune on music nowdays half these singers with hits sound terrible live nice to see another artist who can actually sing rofl
I 2 feel the same...
"Let the Ashes fall" gives me chills every single time.
OMG, you're so right. It's the crescendo of his heartache.
I kept hurt and pain hidden for a long time, joy also. It must be that our emotions, good or bad, are all part of 1 “thing”. I dunno. Anyway, it took years for me to get like that, see I didn’t really notice, I was basically numb.

Music can do so much if you let it.
He will never read this but, thank you so much James. Your gift basically bought me back to life. I’ll be forever grateful.
Yeah, if you repress pain, you also repress love, joy.. life, basically. It's both, or nothing.
Dude, that's beautiful!
This is actually one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard.
A tender request to just let go.
Goosebumps 👌
@@richardraykoske3879 One of the best ones I've ever learned to play
That voice! Sounds even better live!
An outcry of heartbreak in an artistic melody filled with manly emotions.
James Bay is so damn underrated...!! He deserves so much more...!!
Imagine someone writing this song to you when breaking up😭 You’d never want to leave❤️
His sudden change in tempo while fingerpicking the guitar throughout the entire song is truly impressive…What a talent! Beautiful sad song
Its been 7 years,7 long years now,still attached to this song,playing it every day since rhose hard and tiring days up to now,its not about heartache for me,it about struggles,pain,regrets,disappointments,high hopes,depressions,its about i should've and would've,its about fixing the past while fighting the present and fearing for future,this song reminds me everytime
Watched him last Friday at the Brixton academy. Truly phenomenal performance and what a great venue. I am 63 and was astonished at his vocal ability
This song is still breaking my heart after all these years.
The heart seems like reducing to dust as we listen to it... I really don't know how to use words to explain... James, you help me be a better person.Thank you for it.
Bless you...
This guys voice is so beautiful, I can listen to it all day
Lewis, in this World,no man had emotions, I was born in 1954, in Suffolk England, I love music,but, Lewis,you have taken my breath,away,your song sings,a man in love,!!!! Maybe some men,can really find love, listening to your music,men have to be taught emotions, love
Oh so he really CAN sing that good. Damn. Gives me chills.
I cherish the moments he doesn't wear a hat😊.
@cam cam totally agree😂
What captured me to get hook on this song is the guitar's fascinating melody, that vibe...& Then the lyrics & James voice... Wonderful 💯♥️
James Bay and this piece really do make the perfect winning combination.
This song cannot be more real, it’s exactly how I feel right now unfortunately, heartbreak sucks and I’m going through one guys ☹️
Are you better now?
Amazing voice!!!! Chill time when I'm driving😀
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever listen to and get to my emoji♥️You are very special James Bay
Bay you’re so incredible. Love this song you and Berry wrote but damn rips my heart out and slams it on the floor till all I’m doing is crying. Ha That’s what makes a great song. Thank you for sharing your gift with the planet. Hugs from Ohio
Amazing vocals, amazing lyrics...love this guy
Any guitarist/singer knows how extremely difficult this is to play and sing let alone come up with. Insanely talented.
Not hating on James Bay but this is a fairly easy song to play on the guitar.
@@richikdadhich2914 Easy on guitar for an accomplished guitarist, but try coming up with it and singing it simultaneously to this level ...is my point.

Ever since I found this song online, I've become a huge fan of James' work.
Same this was the first song that I heard and get some interest to his Music Until it becomes my daily routine playing all of his song on Spotify and often here in youtube.

I’m obsessed with him and this song ….
His voice is out of this world
This is literally perfect. Bravo
PERFECTION is an understatement!
These songs make me feel on a level that is unparalleled. Complex emotions that I run from during the day, on a consistent basis. It's 2am Eastern Standard Time. I can't sleep again. I have hardly done any of that , since I called it quits. The idea we could work is a delusion. I could send you a million spiteful texts , point out your bad character traits, express my deep "hatred" and tell you what to fix about yourself, but that isn't my place. You ripped my heart out, then stepped , and spit on the pieces. I had to Let It Go for me. That doesn't make me miss you any less.
Incredible performance 😱🔥❤️
I get to see him live on my 23rd birthday hehehe. Yay for this birthday present :)
His voice is just amazing im in love
this is just amazing
Raw talent and beautifully done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So melancholic but great the voice, the hair.... ❤️
Absolutely genius songwriting and talent.
