James Blake... the very first song my friend played for me on his awesome audio setup was your song The Wilhelm Scream. I come back and listen to your music. He committed suicide 3 weeks ago and his viewing/memorial is tomorrow. So fitting that you just uploaded a song by this name. I'm going to try my best to hold it together and tonight will listen to your music for him.
I lost my best friend from college the same way, a little over three years ago. He loved music too and especially having an awesome setup to listen. I’m so sorry for your loss, Jessica, I truly hope for moments of peace and solace amongst your grieving at their memorial
I'm sorry for your loss Jessica. I'm sure you'll do him proud. If you can't hold it together that's ok. It just shows how much you truly cared about him. Good luck
Ever since i heard Joji's production for the first time in Chloe Burbank, there was always this thought in the back of my mind that him and James would make a killer musical duo. Who could've guessed a pipe dream like that at the time would somehow translate to reality so many years later.
Joji reminded me so much of James Blake, not even just the production but vocally as well, I wanna see a Collab where he's as a feature not just production, that would be fireeee
1:41 - James uses the same vocal sample from 'If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead'. So perfectly executed, placed, and well recycled. I love the attention to detail. None of it is 'for show'. It's reflective. Self-referential. Meta. Open. Bare. This is an artist with considerable measure. The very same man who inspired me to learn music production. Well done Mr Litherland. Excellent use of space and movement. Excellent mixdown. Left footed, euphoric, and confrontational 🧙♂️ I loved every second of it.
Man just as I was getting over my ex, James Blake releases a song that talks about my relationship with her and how we broke up. It still hurts but thank you nonetheless James, appreciate you man. I will play this song till it doesn't hurt
No wonder, he's been inspired by the greatest to do it: "Blake stated in an interview with The Rolling Stone: “I’ve been inspired by a lot of the music [Kanye's] made. I was certainly inspired by Yeezus. It made me rethink what I’m doing”."
I miss my friend. He was like a brother to me. He did everything he could to get closer to me even when I pushed him away. Unconditional love respect and understanding. I will never find a friend and soulmate like this ever again. Losing him is part of life. And to honour him I get up every morning. Its still hard 3 years after. This wasnt just a friend I think you all understand what I mean. This was a part of me that passed. I have to find new ways to reinvent myself and define who I can be and who I am now. I often feel naked and fragile and exposed. I lost my shield and armor and I dont know if I ever will get a feeling like that back so I try to start a life where I dont need it. I need it but I tell myself I dont. I try to cope I really try. I wish he knew how much he meant to me then and now. Not religious but if I am lucky I will meet him again. And I wish so much to see him just one last time to hug him one last time. I miss him every day. Hug the people you love when you can
I played the ones you know I took you all the way But that was yesterday I wore your favourite clothes I said the things you'd say That was yesterday So if you loved me so much Why'd you go? (Why'd you go?) Keep yourself back Keep on lying, oh I can only be what I am Dive in, smiling Life is not the same if we're miles away I was your champion, I did everything your way We both swam out to sea You lost me willingly But that was yesterday (That was yesterday) You knew it would get dark You made sure I would need you in every way So if you loved me so much Why'd you go? (Why'd you go?) Keep yourself back Keep on lying, oh I can only be what I am Dive in, smiling Life is not the same if we're miles away I was your champion, I did everything your way Life is not the same If we're miles away I was your champion, I did everything to help you stay
Beautiful song!! I heard it on a local radio station. To me it speaks of codependency, of abandonning yourself to try to be loved by someone else, and just loosing them in the end. Their is a lot of grief in the end.
Acabo de ver la historia de RM y jod.. que siempre nos comparte el arte que el escucha y que posiblemente yo no pobria escuchar graciad a el, increible canción 😩 gracias namu
Blake is one of the few artists I listen to even now in my forties because he is genuinely an emotional writer. And isn't afraid to sing about stuff other than 3 minute loves songs.
This guy is next level. This is from another planet, not comparable with anything else... Just listen any Blake song, listen it 1000 times, every time you will hear some sound that you didn't heard boefore
That is the best song i've heard in a while. So unique. daytrip's production is of the hook, an amazing combination between the piano which creates somewhat of a melancholic and dramatic atmosphere to the hip hop themes used, truly an amazing track!
@@elijahgavin6706 acting like james gets any type of radio play except on songs like mile high or features on beyonce and travis I don't think I've heard this song on the radio at all, which is a shame bc james is so good and deserves a lot more recognition
James Blake's harmonies are so haunting, beautiful and emotional. He never misses.
Never
yeahh!!
..he is a Master
Joji and take a day trip did the production for this

I've loved James since I was a youn'n ... How does he keep getting better !!
Because he’s a TRUE ARTIST 😩❤️

You're lucky. Believe me. When you lose your family life isn't worth living.
@@mikeypliers9012 Life is always worth living.
This Retrograde Wilhelm scream and Willing Heart. TEAR FUEL 😭😭😭😭
Incredible how he can do that huh. Pure raw talent.
Oh no. He & his girlfriend haven't broken up, have they? When?
You know James Blake is one of you favourite artists when you like the song before the beat drops.
💯
No lie!!!
Period! Already know its about to knock me off my feet, i keep hittin replay!
the layering in this song is so beautiful: from the lofi beat, heavenly vocals, sombre lyrics, heavy piano, dynamic synths -- very well executed!
that's a joji reference right there
@@MiguelArches YESSIRRR
This guy isn't just creative, he's a grand master. By the time James Blake retires, he should be recognized among the 100 best musicians to date.
10 years of James Blake. What an amazing journey since that debut album.
I love this sound. Good music
A modern day genius.
1:41 - James uses the same vocal sample from 'If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead'. So perfectly executed, placed, and well recycled. I love the attention to detail. None of it is 'for show'. It's reflective. Self-referential. Meta. Open. Bare.

Well done Mr Litherland. Excellent use of space and movement. Excellent mixdown.
Left footed, euphoric, and confrontational 🧙♂️
I loved every second of it.
Underrated Comment
This is classic James Blake IMO!
Moody, honest story told. Lovely.
Amazing vocal range. Song is so sad but beautiful at the same time.
He ate on this song omg
This sounds like a mix between both The Colour in Anything and Assume Form. Can't wait for the new album!
Exactly the James Blake I've been waiting years for. Promising single for the album.
Joji and James Blake, the collab we all needed.
Agree
Wasn't that the Take A Day trip tag at the beginning tho?
@@chopkin both Take A Day Trip and Joji co-produced it

this shong shown you a sensitive spot in your mental health, thats why music is so valueble, it lets u feel things u didnt know u had in you
Lmao everyone’s relationships have similar common denominators it’s not special coincidence
@@elijahgavin6706 Firstly nobody asked you, secondly you don't know what people are going through at what time so you're better of not saying anything

i cant wait until i hear the whole album, ty james.
Joji makin some heat with the production
Bruh u make me miss him 😭 dude’s been gone for too long

Eurorack modular is a major facilitator of that aspect. But he executes it SO tastefully!
His voice is unique,agree ❤

Its so weird how the beat is quite defining. But it feels like his voice is carrying it. I agree! ^^
This song is in a different level. Got chills, shed tears.
Can’t wait for the album.
💯💯

Thank you for sharing this, Joon ❤❤❤❤❤
Didn't know I needed this. Thank you Mr James Blake.
Omgggggg 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever felt in my life
I’ve never cried so hard listening to a song.
❤❤❤
This is such an incredible song. It's a blissfully warm and heartfelt production - truly a work of art.
Thank rm for suggesting this masterpiece...
I played the ones you know
I took you all the way
But that was yesterday
I wore your favourite clothes
I said the things you'd say
That was yesterday
So if you loved me so much
Why'd you go? (Why'd you go?)
Keep yourself back
Keep on lying, oh
I can only be what I am
Dive in, smiling
Life is not the same if we're miles away
I was your champion, I did everything your way
We both swam out to sea
You lost me willingly
But that was yesterday
(That was yesterday)
You knew it would get dark
You made sure I would need you in every way
So if you loved me so much
Why'd you go? (Why'd you go?)
Keep yourself back
Keep on lying, oh
I can only be what I am
Dive in, smiling
Life is not the same if we're miles away
I was your champion, I did everything your way
Life is not the same If we're miles away
I was your champion, I did everything to help you stay
This song has been on repeat since it dropped! Thanks for blessing our ears!!
Thank you so much NamJoon... I love you.

This is my favourite song from the album, and the whole album is absolutely wonderful. What a talent. Beautiful work from Joji as well. Bouleversant.

Holy shit this is absolutely great. The production is perfect and all of the harmonies AND THE CHORUS OH THAT CHORUS
He's actually a very good poet.
This voice is so ahead of the pack. Thank you James for all the work you put in. I feel it
Thanks for blessing us with your music.
I can't overstate how much I love this song. Truly beautiful and I can't stop listening to it.
You're amazing James. I'm so obsessed with your music.
This is absolutely stunning!

Your voice sounds so intimate and fragile. I can't stop listening to this song. I feel it like no other. I love that that happens to me with music ♡
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful song. melting my heart
i feel bit of 'The Colour In Anything' vibes. can't wait for new album 🖤
Blake is one of the few artists I listen to even now in my forties because he is genuinely an emotional writer. And isn't afraid to sing about stuff other than 3 minute loves songs.

Finally the Joji x James collab I have been dreaming of, now both of them singing on a track and I can die in peace
One more song to help me get through. Thank you James.

One of the most beautiful pieces of art ever made
I can listen to this song on repeat all day long.
this is my favourite on the album...truly astounding
Beautiful choice by Namjoon 💙
No one can even compare to this artist. I wish I could find other music just like this.. James Blake 🔥🔥🔥
Well he writes for and controls Kehlani, Billie Eilish, Lana DelRay, Glass Animals…
Amazing!
