No joke, the chorus is amazing. It's something I'd listen to on repeat if it were to be released as a single or maybe in a future album. The ending of the song could also be great released as a separate song, even though its just a small part of it. I love the chorus and the ending
Please, I need more videos of just you talking about your music, I want to know the things that went through your mind whilst making music, I love the depth and the healing of your own emotions with each song. I love these sorts of videos, it helps me get a better understanding.
as a (struggling) musician, there are some parts of this that i can understand why they weren't released - but the ending is something else man. i think it'd be cool if you released that as just an interlude for a future album; less than a minute, raw, emotional, gets everybody crying, and is a nice reset before the next full song. nevertheless you are such an inspiration and videos like this are what i live for
7:12 “NO CLUE WHAT THAT MEANS” is actually the realest thing I’ve ever heard as someone who tries to write music and half the time it’s kind of nonsense
the fact that the song is about missing your chance because you waited too long thinking and then part of it not being released was because he overthought i needing to be perfect ;-; genuinely so heartfelt and cathartic tho thank you for sharing!!
So like no joke, I would listen to this song on repeat. I def understand why it never happened for the album… but as a single OR EVEN YOU AND A PIANO WOULD BE GREAT AS A CHANGE
James please release this, edit it or change the fact you dislike and please please release this, the end is to beautiful, even if you do something with a piano your voice is so soothing and calming with it
every time James slides on his vocals- it’s my favorite thing his voice sounds so smooth and so natural- honestly I just love seeing his process and raw vocals as well it’s incredible to me
I relly appreciate as someone working on music production myself that you actually show us the parts of the song with your own interpretations, because it really validates the whole processes that leads up to the songs you release :))
that ending was beautiful. i feel like it could have been a nice transition between in between and the other side or maybe a physical exclusive at the end of the album? just wish we could have it to listen to. so excited for ur next work :)
I remember hearing this on the digital release and was like, OMG YES I LOVE THIS SONG ❤ This one along with Cocaine and Run are just my absolute favorites from the digital release!
But I heard you found someone And that's great; yes it is And I hope he gives you all That I Cannot Give But if you take a break from falling In Love With Him If I could have one try Of his taste on your lips
Would absolutely LOVE to see a part two of this video, seeing your thoughts behind your music and hearing all of your ideas is so so interesting to me and I could just watch this for hours honestly. Gonna go listen to the album for the millionth time, love you Jimbo 🫶
I really like the actual musicality of the song but ummm... yea I can see why the lyrics put you off. Idk IMO its very emo nothingness, you def had emotions, but from an outsider is kinda a nothing sandwich. There is def some inspiring stuff, esp at the end, but there's also some very simple lyrics but the last part is very nice you should just realise that just cause for my spotify xoxo and that was a really nice take, the vocals are so so good and emotional imo
Honestly, you are such a inspiration James. As an artist who is passionate about music myself and especially your music, it’s so refreshing to get see your thought process in writing your music. It’s an emotional video thank you for sharing
You talk a fair amount on this video about how you don’t think you are a great singer If this video was your unedited voice, then I personally think you have a really nice voice actually, you would probably be a really good singer if you had lessons/ will be if you are already having some
James. This song bangs. If you could fix the parts you don't like and leave that bit at the end exactly as it is that would be fab. Slap it on a B sides album please.
BUDDYYYYY YOU NEED TO MAKE SOME MORE MUSIC BC THIS CRAP GOES CRAZYYYYYY, LIKE GRAPES AND GOING POSTAL AT THE PARTY IS TOTALLYYY MY VIBE LIKE BRU I HAVE NEVER HEARD MUSIC THAT IS SO UNIQUE AND MATCHES MY TASTE PERFECTLY
This was genuinely such an enjoyable video to sit down and listen to while i do my uni work. Id love to see you talk amore about songs you didnt release or you making your songs
I really like the song but i can also see why it didnt make the album. For me, it sounds like a mixture of romanticise this, dont blame me nad white noise
You letting us in to your creative process and the thoughts on your own work is endearingly refreshing. It’s clear how much love you put into your art, and want to make it just right. I think it’s safe to say that you’re your own worst critic, because you absolutely could’ve put this out, as is, gotten your coin, and moved on. But your passion trumps that, and it’s kind of awesome to see. I thought the song was beautiful and vulnerable, and you can reuse anything from it if you’re inspired to do so.
that’s the thing i feel the way you don’t like it at the start and feel it’s to smooth at the end sort of blends it together to be a perfect combination of not too good or not too bad but idk it’s your decisions :))
I know the community doesn't really like to talk about this, but your music has been super helpful for me after what happened with wilbur. I know I can support the art without supporting the artist, but what he did ruined his music and lovejoy for me forever. I discovered your music after that and im so glad I did, as you're now one of my favorite artists. thanks for being cool king :D
Hello James. I rarely comment on your videos but this time i feel like i really want to. Just wanted to say, that even though I'm not the biggest fan of your music (i listened to your album for about a week, had a lot of fun(?) with it, but it didn't really stick with me for a multitude of reasons that I won't get into right now), but i still love the fact that you do music at all. You sound fantastic on record, and from what I've heard your live performances are very impressive as well. You have a lot of potential that I KNOW you'll realize because the passion that you have for your craft is second to none. And even though your debut LP didn't stick with me, i will be listening to everything you put out in the future, because I know that one day you will release something that my (extremely picky) brain will love to bits. I guess I'm writing all this more so for myself rather than for you, because there have been times where i felt legitimately guilty for not listening to your album, i.e. supporting you in something that means the world to you. But that's a me problem anyways. So yes, i hope that you know that even though your music might not be for everyone, the passion, the love, the care that you put into it doesn't go unnoticed. P.S. if you ever release something along the lines of "Please Stay", "Thumbs", "Christine" by Lucy Dacus, or "We're In Love" by boygenius, i will despise your very existence (endearingly) as i cry myself to sleep. Just saying.
I really really hope that James can maybe try and sing the last bit again, a bit more finalized. It’s so pretty sounding and I would literally listen to it so much and cry to it
Genuinely this was so interesting, thank you for sharing it even though you don't like it entirely. I really love the ending of the song, it's raw and sounds it (in a good way lol). The whole album is a smash!
The ending part legit made me cry. The last few lines of it seriously reminded me of Car Lights... But i just know you will produce stuff as good as this! Keep it up! ♥
Why not go and listen to my album?
no
everyone go do it, it is a banger
excellent idea, Jim
No idea gonna do it rn
No
never opened youtube so quickly
on god 💀 got the notification and stopped everything
Fr
ngl, kinda ironic the song is called 'How it goes' and the song just didn't get released because it just didn't work-
in the airport but james marriott uploaded
Have a good flight :) (or whatever you're doing there)
@@piribirini thank you!!
SO TRUE (cool pfp;) LOVE HIM TOO)
@@iekuhh YEAHH 🙏🙏 LOVE JOOST FR
No joke, the chorus is amazing. It's something I'd listen to on repeat if it were to be released as a single or maybe in a future album. The ending of the song could also be great released as a separate song, even though its just a small part of it. I love the chorus and the ending
omg cant wait for How It Goes (James' version) (from the vault)
pfft real
Please, I need more videos of just you talking about your music, I want to know the things that went through your mind whilst making music, I love the depth and the healing of your own emotions with each song. I love these sorts of videos, it helps me get a better understanding.
I think it’s unlikely he will do more music vids. However on Genius they have all the interviews and meanings with the lyrics! :)
There's something I love so much about when a songwriter is like "What did I mean by this?" about their own lyrics
as a (struggling) musician, there are some parts of this that i can understand why they weren't released - but the ending is something else man. i think it'd be cool if you released that as just an interlude for a future album; less than a minute, raw, emotional, gets everybody crying, and is a nice reset before the next full song. nevertheless you are such an inspiration and videos like this are what i live for
yo what account do you use for your music im really curious about it and would like to give it a listen
Was so ready for this to be about good bin bad bin not making the cut.
The end feels like the ending of a good book
Truee
7:12 “NO CLUE WHAT THAT MEANS” is actually the realest thing I’ve ever heard as someone who tries to write music and half the time it’s kind of nonsense
I’m so upset you didn’t release some of the songs on the digital download but I respect the decision king, can’t wait to hear more :)
The “falling in love” part 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A SONG THAT IS FULLY PIANO
Yessssss please 😭
the fact that the song is about missing your chance because you waited too long thinking and then part of it not being released was because he overthought i needing to be perfect ;-; genuinely so heartfelt and cathartic tho thank you for sharing!!
Whenever I hear unreleased songs from my fav artists I immediately love them-
I want this to be released so bad it's awesome well done james, such a shame you feel differently
James are you going to say anything about the thing with Alex?
God his voice is just so beautiful in the soft parts of his music. Like sort of haunting
So like no joke, I would listen to this song on repeat. I def understand why it never happened for the album… but as a single OR EVEN YOU AND A PIANO WOULD BE GREAT AS A CHANGE
its giving Romanticise this + him and i love itt
I don't think I've ever clicked a notification quicker
I adore how it goes so much
SAME
right? likes its so iconic i need it on my spotify playlist
and thank you for showing me it before this video! legit have it on repeat at least once a day
Unintentionally 💀
@@CMT_Crabbles oh god I just noticed the mistake😭💀
I would KILL to see like a re imagined version of this song because the bass and the chorus and the end are FANTASTIC
james that ending is beautiful, shame you didn't like the rest of the song. Would love to see something like this in your future work. big love jimbo
James please release this, edit it or change the fact you dislike and please please release this, the end is to beautiful, even if you do something with a piano your voice is so soothing and calming with it
9:28 honestly... i cried during this part. James you are such a brilliant songwriter
every time James slides on his vocals- it’s my favorite thing his voice sounds so smooth and so natural- honestly I just love seeing his process and raw vocals as well it’s incredible to me
I am shocked about what has happened with Alex... dam, man. ❤️🩹
that ending could have been a cool interlude tbh! but i totally understand why it didn't make it
James! Can you put the ableton project or the stems on google drive or something? I’d love to have a go at mixing this!
I relly appreciate as someone working on music production myself that you actually show us the parts of the song with your own interpretations, because it really validates the whole processes that leads up to the songs you release :))
that ending was beautiful. i feel like it could have been a nice transition between in between and the other side or maybe a physical exclusive at the end of the album? just wish we could have it to listen to. so excited for ur next work :)
YEAH NEW POSTT
i was about to sleep but the grind never stops
I remember hearing this on the digital release and was like, OMG YES I LOVE THIS SONG ❤ This one along with Cocaine and Run are just my absolute favorites from the digital release!
James I need you on Eurovision 2025 😭
CANT AGREE MORE 🙏
FR HE WOULD EAT THAT
YES IM NOT BRITISH BUT PLS CHAT MAKE HIM THE BRITISH EUROVISION LAD
i don't want him on a zionist show
@@Onlyonetoexist omg yes ‼️‼️ I’m sorry, I forgot abt that for a sec 😭.
if it isn't released then why is it in my spotify local files huh?? huh James?!?
32 seconds, no views and 1 like. Damn, my guy fell off
Please do more of these, the production of music and what you have to say about each part of the song is so fascinating to me
the last part could’ve worked as an interlude for the album
But I heard you found someone
And that's great; yes it is
And I hope he gives you all
That I
Cannot Give
But if you take a break from falling
In Love
With Him
If I could have one try
Of his taste
on your lips
In 5 years you should make an album of all the songs you never released! ❤
Would absolutely LOVE to see a part two of this video, seeing your thoughts behind your music and hearing all of your ideas is so so interesting to me and I could just watch this for hours honestly. Gonna go listen to the album for the millionth time, love you Jimbo 🫶

How It Goes sounds like a song that I relate to quite a lot
Sucks that it never got released but I understand why :)
It’s a shame that this song wasn’t published because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ending!!! The lyrics are just so deep and meaningful i just love it
BUDDYYYYY YOU NEED TO MAKE SOME MORE MUSIC BC THIS CRAP GOES CRAZYYYYYY, LIKE GRAPES AND GOING POSTAL AT THE PARTY IS TOTALLYYY MY VIBE LIKE BRU I HAVE NEVER HEARD MUSIC THAT IS SO UNIQUE AND MATCHES MY TASTE PERFECTLY
As a non-musician this song sounds great and I would listen to and not notice there’s 0 mixing 💀
this song kinda reminds me of too close by sir chloe
This was genuinely such an enjoyable video to sit down and listen to while i do my uni work. Id love to see you talk amore about songs you didnt release or you making your songs
I really like the song but i can also see why it didnt make the album. For me, it sounds like a mixture of romanticise this, dont blame me nad white noise
i'm trying to learn to sing and would love you to show us how you learnt and the techniques you use
I don't usually comment on videos but i need the last part in a playlist fr, please pleasee make that emotional part into a song🙏🙏
Your music means so much to me! (too much according to my family)
It can never be to much❤
You letting us in to your creative process and the thoughts on your own work is endearingly refreshing. It’s clear how much love you put into your art, and want to make it just right.
I think it’s safe to say that you’re your own worst critic, because you absolutely could’ve put this out, as is, gotten your coin, and moved on. But your passion trumps that, and it’s kind of awesome to see.
I thought the song was beautiful and vulnerable, and you can reuse anything from it if you’re inspired to do so.
stream “Are We There Yet” by James Marriott 🙏🙏
James stop writing songs about MY love life, thats my job
that’s the thing i feel the way you don’t like it at the start and feel it’s to smooth at the end sort of blends it together to be a perfect combination of not too good or not too bad but idk it’s your decisions :))
I really enjoy this breakdown of the song. It’s so interesting!
the process is amazing, big kudos to you for sharing your work and bits of vulnerability with us jimbo x
Hey, what’s your opinion on the whole big Wilbur soot thing?
Woooo james uploaded. Love u so much man (not in a wierd way lol)
Omg I fucking love it such a shame its not being realesed 😭
So much guitar, vocal and just music talk is great! I started playing guitar in a big part thanks to you! Great video!!!!!!
"you work on something that you love for a very long period of time and then you just dont like it anymore" kinda like your main channel huh james
please can someone figure out the piano chords to the last section i need to learn this 😩
Really like these in-depth conversations about your music
I have how it goes and its one of my favourite songs from the album
absoulutely loved this! hope you do one on after thought as well :) or any of the other unrealeased songs!
The outro could make one kickass interlude or something though
Do you think that we’ll ever see that part of how it goes again?
Release it and it'll weasel it's way into my heart so fast! Anything made by James is bound to be amazing
Make it into a single?? Maybe
WAKE UP POOKIES NEW JAMES VID DROPPED 🗣️🗣️🙌🙌🔥🔥
Edit: nevermind im fucking sobbing

This video has literally made me fall in love with you
9:37 (marking for myself to go back to listen to)
you should release it as like a one off i really like it :(
The ending part legit made me cry. The last few lines of it seriously reminded me of Car Lights... But i just know you will produce stuff as good as this! Keep it up! ♥
slay (i haven’t watched yet but im excited)
I love love love the outro. If you could somehow turn this into another song or only release that part, I'd listen the shit out of it!!
That last bit of the song was fucking angelic
PLEASE RELEASE BANDIT im begging
or something that sounds as scratchy and atonal ish like it
ill give you my soul and more if you release this
8:20 I LOVE RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS I DONT BLAME HIM
I will never forgive you this goes hard
Just out of interest @james marriott . Does this song have a bit of a coheed & cambria influence at all, or am I just grasping at straws?!
It does not !
@@JamesMarriottOfficial fair dinkum, thanks for speedy reply. It is funking awesome though!
I LOVE YOU
Never clicked on something quicker
