  • Rolling Stone and Gibson have teamed up to offer a special weeklong series of music performances and the first-ever chance for music fans to make a charitable donation to support musicians and walk away with a signature guitar.
    First up is James Bay, who kicks off his set with “Scars,” from his 2015 LP, Chaos and the Calm. Bay tells the camera that the track is about “realizing when you’ve lost something or someone, [and] that person or thing was so vital to you,” he says, “that you can’t make that mistake again.”

    Anyone else think scars never got the attention it deserves. I honestly think in my 32 years I've never had a song mean so much to me.

    I just love how this is so raw. So real. Kind of intimate also. Just his (amazing) voice and guitar.
    Pure talent, James.

      I prefer his acoustic stuff played from his bedroom (especially his tutorials! They are awesome) to the big concert footage.

    @beoluon9258 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The way he sings Scars in this version is so much more, idk, effective. He doesnt use a powerful belt on the first chorus like he did in the recording but dials it down a notch with a more soft and subtle sound so the second chorus hits it all the way! I’m dead

    Absolutely love seeing these more intimate shares/performances from these artists. Getting to peel back a layer or two to know what's actually behind the song and who they actually are. I always come out with a new level of respect for the person and their craft -- especially when his voice is still so true on such a raw and naked recording.

    Scars:
    You're setting off,
    It's time to go, the engine's running
    My mind is lost,
    We always knew this day was coming
    And now it's more frightening than it's ever gonna be
    We grow apart,
    I watch you on the red horizon
    Your lion's heart
    Will protect you under stormy skies
    And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears
    And as soon as I can hold you once again
    I won't let go of you, I swear
    We lived through scars this time
    But I've made up my mind
    We can't leave us behind anymore
    Your hands are cold,
    Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
    This fragile heart,
    So heavy in my chest, it's breaking
    And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me
    But you're miles away,
    You're breaking up, you're on your own
    It's hard to take,
    I need an hour just to say hello
    But I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me
    And for all the pennies in your pocket
    We barely get a second just to speak
    We lived through scars this time
    But I've made up my mind
    We can't leave us behind anymore
    We'll have to hurt for now
    But next time there's no doubt
    'Cause I can't go without you anymore
    Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh
    Yeah yeah
    We lived through scars this time
    But I've made up my mind
    No, we can't leave us behind anymore
    We'll have to hurt for now
    But next time, there's no doubt
    'Cause I can't go without you anymore
    No I can't go without you anymore

    I was with you as a busker, posting on TH-cam. I'm here with you now, sort of "post game" I'm not a fanboy, sorry, but I love you and your music. I sing your lyrics when family members have died, when I've gone off and got cancer, through everything. Sometimes your lyrics bring me to bits. But then, we have to stand, and fight for even more. Thanks James, stay safe, and bring us more. Fame is bigger than money. It's who's gonna bring the masses through. You've certainly done that for me. My only hope is that it's much much more. Love ya mate!
