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
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.
@@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
I remember downloading a plethora of songs, including several of his songs while oversees deployment. I hadn’t listened to much of his stuff prior but I remember spending nights with my earbuds in and something about his voice and music just calmed me down with everything going on in the world. As corny as it sounds, his music brought a semblance of peace with the chaos around. I became a fan and will always be a fan. Thank you James!
From walking home and talking loads To seeing shows in evening clothes with you From nervous touch and getting drunk To staying up and waking up with you Now we're slipping near the edge Holding something we don't need All this delusion in our heads Is gonna bring us to our knees So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you And I'll be me? And I'll be me From throwing clothes across the floor To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you If this is all we're living for Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore? I used to recognize myself It's funny how reflections change When we're becoming something else I think it's time to walk away So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you And I'll be me And I'll be me Tryna fit your hand inside of mine When we know it just don't belong There's no force on earth Could make me feel right, no Tryna push this problem up the hill When it's just too heavy to hold Think now is the time to let it slide So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Let the ashes fall Forget about me Come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? And I'll be me
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...
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.
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
When you come here because you think James Bay has done an amazing cover of a Beatles song, but really Radio 1 have reposted his version of 'Let it go' and mistaken the word "go" for "be"...
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
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.
Me too it hurt me so bad to let it go and walk away but for both of our sakes I had to make the difficult decision and change my number cause I know he couldn't let go but the toxic insanity love we had was not healthy and the only time we had peace of mind was when we were making love 😔
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.
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
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
live sounds the same as a studio😍😍😍
Ikr
+Lizzie Odeire he's good
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
No autotunes and stuffs. Just pure talent.
Sometimes a song is just pure magic. This is one of those times.
His voice absolutely resonates with every heart ever broken.
His voice is just so fucking beautiful.
Calm down lol
So are you sweetie
ibrahim dar how the tf you hear her voice??
dudes got it locked down thats for sure .. voice ...playing .. just amazingly talented
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.
Imagine someone writing this song to you when breaking up😭 You’d never want to leave❤️
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.

Amen!
You're too
ibrahim dar stop being creepy at every girl’s comments dude
I cherish the moments he doesn't wear a hat😊.
@cam cam totally agree😂
This is actually one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard.
A tender request to just let go.
Goosebumps 👌
What an incredible musician! All these young British singers are brilliant!
m Check our Aquilo! They are amazing. More British awesomeness. ❤️
James Bay is so damn underrated...!! He deserves so much more...!!
"Let the Ashes fall" gives me chills every single time.
OMG, you're so right. It's the crescendo of his heartache.
That voice! Sounds even better live!
An outcry of heartbreak in an artistic melody filled with manly emotions.
I remember downloading a plethora of songs, including several of his songs while oversees deployment.

From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
All this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
I used to recognize myself
It's funny how reflections change
When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
Tryna fit your hand inside of mine
When we know it just don't belong
There's no force on earth
Could make me feel right, no
Tryna push this problem up the hill
When it's just too heavy to hold
Think now is the time to let it slide
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall
Forget about me
Come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
Thank you ❤
I'll never get tired of that guitar.
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?
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 song is still breaking my heart after all these years.
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
Oh so he really CAN sing that good. Damn. Gives me chills.
It is September 2023, and here I am..... LOVE THIS
One day James...One day you will get all the recognition that you deserves....
You are just awesome..
❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙from INDIA
Man he sings exactly like the studio version. ❣️🙏
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
James Bay and this piece really do make the perfect winning combination.
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...
Didn't know Cavani was this good
😂
You should have known 🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣 the matador
Lol I saw James Bay scored for MU
This dude sings clean live. Very superb.
My son is a guitarist and he said this is so hard to play. Fantastic musician such a beautiful song! I love James Bay.
I think I'm never getting over this song
Me neither, ive been listening to it ever since it came out, doesnt get old, still the same beautifully depressing song
Never getting over this song…. PHEW🔥🔥🔥
this is possibly his most moving and best performance live
Amazing voice!!!! Chill time when I'm driving😀
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.
This music is the new British Soul music.
His smile at the very end is sweet...
"Anyone else 'still' listening in during 2021, to this corker?"
Oh, yes.
Yeah
Best song ever
@@hajirabay1476 one direction
Hell yeah. Gilbert Grape rocks
This guys voice is so beautiful, I can listen to it all day
Good Lord he can play a guitar, do you see his hands? The ability to do that, and sing at the same time? Wow.
I'll never get tired of this song
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
The way he sings and plays the guitar. It's beautiful to listen to and watch at the same time. His soul is so into it. Felt it, man. 😭💔🎶
When you come here because you think James Bay has done an amazing cover of a Beatles song, but really Radio 1 have reposted his version of 'Let it go' and mistaken the word "go" for "be"...
SAME 😭😭😭😭
yep
same
Same...
same
He’s so talented..beautiful voice
Aaaaah.music still exists now a days!
What a heartbreak song. I can't believe how hard it hit me...
I remember first being showed this by my cousin. R.I.P Cameron. Love you bud.
I can hear the guitar all day so perfect
When talent existed! No auto tunes just years and years of crafting. Im so thankful we have this as a Time Machine.
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
Who the hell broke his heart? :(
Goubna ikr!

Still am!
Amazing vocals, amazing lyrics...love this guy
Gold. I will never put this song out of my favourite of list song ever
What a song! What a voice! What a musician! 💝
I just can't let it gooo..
What captured me to get hook on this song is the guitar's fascinating melody, that vibe...& Then the lyrics & James voice... Wonderful 💯♥️
That smile at the end,..........
Its greatness when your emotion blends w/ your instrument.
one of the best singer songwriters out there!!
It's so much more beautiful when he belts it out instead of singing softly.
Well now BBC better invite him back to actually cover the Beatles' 'Let It Be'
This is sheer musical perfection
I bet the guy mixing vocals is like oh ok I don’t have to do anything… lol pure talent.
Here we are in 2020 still fkn crying to this song...
he is something else man. i was shocked when i hear his singing because it is exactly the same !!
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 ✌🏾
Oh I love that dreamy guitar riff
Who’s listening in 2020 #stayathome?
no one. its just you buddy
Yep
here.
Yeessss!
This song makes me FEEL. Especially the first verse 🥹 dreamy
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.
Feels
I get to see him live on my 23rd birthday hehehe. Yay for this birthday present :)
Who else is here in September 2021?? What a damn song....
7 years ago ... GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!
It's the sound of what once was love, coming to an end
the sound of the guitar... uff
wow, he's amazing
I'll remember every seconds that we talk to each other, but now,
I'm gonna let it all go.
I miss you
Me too it hurt me so bad to let it go and walk away but for both of our sakes I had to make the difficult decision and change my number cause I know he couldn't let go but the toxic insanity love we had was not healthy and the only time we had peace of mind was when we were making love 😔

Still beautiful....2022 he's back....♥️
James Bay is heaven sent😍 I'd like to see a collabo of you and Mr Sheeran
Such a beautifully sad song all in one. Hits home for sure.

Love James Bay- saw him in Nashville at the Ryman
what a legend ... man those p90s killing it and the voice .... one day i hope to be able to play like this !
