    Had a few requests for this one and thought it suited my style, so here's my cover of Say You Won't Let Go! :)

      Also, I'm not sure if you cover this types of songs since it's already arranged but I was wondering if you could cover or produce your own rendition of Angelina by Tommy Emmanuel at some point? It's one of my absolute favourites.

    Guys, I'm happy to be here today... Hamm, I would also like to express to you a song that really speaks to my feelings... it's new and I've never played it before. I wrote this song when I realized that something good is next to me, not just something, like someone. Someone who will also listen to this song here now. I realized this was stronger than I imagined. Let's go?

    Keep going James. The entire TH-cam knows your fingerstyle is pure and clean.
    Just love your arrangements. Hugs!

    I met you in the dark
    You lit me up
    You made me feel as though
    I was enough
    We danced the night away
    We drank too much
    I held your hair back when
    You were throwing up
    Then you smiled over your shoulder
    For a minute I was stone cold sober
    I pulled you closer to my chest
    And you asked me to stay over
    I said, I already told you
    I think that you should get some rest
    I knew I loved you then
    But you'd never know
    'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
    I knew I needed you
    But I never showed
    But I wanna stay with you
    Until we're grey and old
    Just say you won't let go
    Just say you won't let go
    I wake you up with some breakfast in bed
    I'll bring you coffee
    With a kiss on your head
    And I'll take the kids to school
    Wave them goodbye
    And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night
    When you looked over your shoulder
    For a minute, I forget that I'm older
    I wanna dance with you right now, oh
    And you look as beautiful as ever
    And I swear that every day you'll get better
    You make me feel this way somehow
    I'm so in love with you
    And I hope you know
    Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold
    We've come so far my dear
    Look how we've grown
    And I wanna stay with you
    Until we're grey and old
    Just say you won't let go
    Just say you won't let go
    I wanna live with you
    Even when we're ghosts
    'Cause you were always there for me
    When I needed you most
    I'm gonna love you 'til
    My lungs give out
    I promise till death we part
    Like in our vows
    So I wrote this song for you
    Now everybody knows
    That it's just you and me
    Until we're grey and old
    Just say you won't let go
    Just say you won't let go
    Just say you won't let go
    Oh, just say you won't let go

    i was in the dark . . and my future playing the guitar was doomed . . . i had no strength left to dedicate myself learning new technics and improve as a guitar player . . but then somehow i ended up here , and for some reason you use the same technics i told myself , back then , that i would never be able to learn . . i was so amazed with your fingerstyle version of this song that i without hesitation was trying to play it , over and over again. . unstoppable . . with motivation that only a musician like you could give me . . when i noticed i was slowly been able to perform it . . . and now thanks to you i won my confidence back . . now i can say that i will improve every day , knowing that its only my mind that was blocking me . . .if we think and believe we can make it , with hard work and perseverance we will eventually achieve our goal :) . . . THANK YOU JAMES FOR MAKING ME BELIVE MYSELF AGAIN ! ( sorry for my english )

    I met you in the dark, you lit me up
    You made me feel as though I was enough
    We danced the night away, we drank too much
    I held your hair back when
    You were throwing up
    Then you smiled over your shoulder
    For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
    I pulled you closer to my chest
    And you asked me to stay over
    I said, I already told ya
    I think that you should get some rest
