James Arthur - I Unproudly Present (Lyrics On Screen)

[@diannaallen4681]

At 59 years of age, the scares are still there. This song is so emotional for all who have felt unloved regardless of the reason. James has become my favorite artist, as he can do justice and more to songs I've listened to throughout my lifetime.

[@jacqueline4365]

Dianna Allen Yes me too, I just turned 53 and I could not agree with you more.

[@tylervickers9510]

3 Years Later This Message Is Still Amazing 😊

[@wilhelmina4734]

Actually crying....I'm a huge James fan but I've never heard this before and oh my god. This hits hard.

[@Sam.Karrow]

His old music will always have a place in my heart

[@SyahmiHaziq32]

Im still listening even now

[@Kalebmyg]

Same here. I'm so glad he's not in that pain anymore though.

[@filip9805]

This is such pain! This is the kind of songs James should write to his second album. Not those ''trying to be hits songs''. True art before success, but with true art comes most often success. Be true to yourself James and stand for you music.

[@HP2000x]

just a random guy you don't know he can’t write songs like this anymore, his life is good. He can sing about all the Gucci things he’s bought instead

[@cathcrow9352]

@@HP2000x He has to record what the music industry thinks people want to hear or he won't keep a record deal...it's up to us to let the industry know what we are interested in...don't go blaming James for everything. I'm sure there are lots of things he would love to record that he gets told no to by his publishers. They try to make all the stars sound the same. James is still amazing. We should all send memos to his record labels and say here is what we want to hear on some of his records!!!

[@Svtmme73]

He sounds so hurt and angry, and so sad at some parts, I'm sitting here with a real ace in my heart, like so close to crying through the whole song. No other artist has ever ever done that to me before... And the contrasts in intensity, from "what you used to adoooooore (where I completely MELT every time)" to YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME!!!

[@Kalebmyg]

This is about his mum/family. Alot of hurt was there

[@turnipchair3030]

Anyone else repeatedly murdering the replay button? This is definitely my new favorite song. I absolutely love the raw emotion and talent in his voice. Not something you see in most popular artists these days. "They think I'm violent and mean" is such a powerful and deep line in this song, as it expresses the fact that they misjudge him. Very relatable. Amazing job, James Arthur. 💕

[@germicus606]

Kiara Ryde go check out confessions it's pretty raw as well

[@Kalebmyg]

His mother use to say that to him in arguments "you're violent and like your father" it's all in his book,this song hits hard because its about his family / foster family

[@petrapargfrieder657]

James, you are a true inspiration. ✨ Your songs come straight from your soul, so pure and authentic. Thanks for sharing your emotions with us. It's really helpful for so many other souls (like me) out there🙏

[@helengalloway3050]

Wow James first time I have heard this song . What raw emotion I'm so sorry you had to go through all that in your childhood . You have a beautiful soul and don't forget it You deserve all the love and success in the world . Nobody has affected me the way you do. Stay safe stay well stay positive xx

[@oneloudermedia]

The atmosphere in the room when this was being recorded was quite unforgettable.

[@AMBERBUSBY]

This has always been one of my favorite songs by far , only a man with true talent can break people down to tears with his own life story, he has made it truly relatable and heartbreaking and that is why I am proud to say I am part of the #JArmy x

[@chloearthur3285]

He well and truly deserved to win the Xfactor! Amazing! Xx

[@Kalebmyg]

No.shes not, he did really deserve to win.

[@angel.star.]

OMG YESSS

[@baellaisa]

This is so crazy. If you have read his book 'Back to the boy', you will recognize every single thing he is talking about in this song.

[@musicinspired4797]

Obsessed atm with this. James voice my goodness. Relationships/family. So relatable I think of my boys venting & a younger me. James wrote a song for his mum it's so beautiful & the track Finally. I see they are each other's whole world. I have so much admiration for her, a beautiful soul like James. So strong. May the angels continue to watch over them. A truly special family.

[@carolmcgarry]

Another brilliant song! When you are brought to tears you know you are listening to great talent!

[@WendiwooJarmy]

Incredible one of the saddest songs ever written . 💔🙏🏼

[@jacqueline4365]

OMG this song, what a brilliant artist and lyricist is James Arthur! I just discovered this amazingly talented musician who never fails to keep me awe struck and speechless. His raw emotion and passion are simply beautiful.

[@mjkddjbatman9980]

You can just hear the pain portrayed through his voice its heartbreaking

[@chloearthur3285]

Omg this is so emotional, he let's all his feelings out! Shows what happened in his life and how he felt xxxx

[@lisav.8816]

I absolutely love this song! He deserves more recognition, his songs... I can't explain how true they are... I can feel he's been going through hard times and his voice radiates this.

[@JB-xk3gc]

He needs to do a studio version , and now that he's famous people will actually get to listen to his real touching music

[@valuribe9678]

You were supposed to love me..... Heartbreaking to hear :/

[@leeann4900]

Simply Val: We all have that one person, from our past, whom we believed were supposed to love us forever.

[@iluv2sing2002]

His voice plus these lyrics just make you want to run up to him and hug him for like a billion years I love him SOOO much and it would mean the world to be noticed by him 💫

[@anntigers2800]

What a wonderful, emotional song so much talent, which this country has not had for some time. He should be more valued by media for his amazing voice

[@anntigers2800]

[@martam4435]

he's so amazing. impossible to describe how much i love his music.. so emotional, so true.

[@mattd501]

I hate that anyone has to go through this, but he's here for hope and hope he gives me every day. Unbelievable talent.

[@hellokittyhighfive]

Brings me to tears, so emotional and straight on.

[@tracysmart5035]

i felt the some when i was younger, it wasnt my family that picked me up from school,no it was strangers and i was always scared to go with them as i never knew what to expect when i got back to the home i was in, just so glad you are getting to where you want to be and i wish you all the best and luck you are such an honest and talented man, love from Glasgow. XxX 😀

[@512ADY512]

Wow this is amazing!! he has an beautiful blessed voice!! and will surely be number on charts when his album comes out :) can't wait !!

[@aleeeesesposito]

I don't know why every song of James, with his wonderful voice, makes me cry… Always, every time.

[@Abdoulaye_Mbodj]

he s so talented world must discover this talent

[@SH-ux5ij]

Your mom gave you life now take it and make it a happy one God gave you beautiful voice that a lot of people would Love to have sisters that love you stop and be thankful and forgive love Your mom You 《 will f 《

[@marylynncoyle7006]

Whoa....the most intense lyrics by far and I have listened to all James songs

[@AreYOUaSpider]

this was a tough song to match the lyrics to! literally. some things Im sure I got wrong but more than that, it's such a sad song. I'm glad James is in a better place now.

[@santanahibbler]

you actually got all the lyrics right

[@diannaallen4681]

+AreYOUaSpider does your "he's in a better place" refer to how far he has come to put his childhood behind him or does it mean he has passed on? I pray not the latter.

[@AreYOUaSpider]

@Dianna oh god no, I meant he's come a long way from his childhood. James is thankfully still alive and kicking lol.

[@makaylahenderson9114]

he hasn't passed away haha. :)

[@youtubehelper8821]

MaKayla Henderson meant mentally. he isnt doing drugs now hopefully. Basically hes got his life better collected and has a grip of himself

[@carolineraphael6582]

he's the real artist .....a great fan of you James.....perfect job ever!!!?

[@wiaadhrawijaya3320]

Such an emotional song.. and I love his voice

[@Mari-il4bw]

Wow did not expect this to be so deep but I love that, I absolutely love music that can hit me so emotionally because I rarely come across music that has that affect. It’s refreshing to hear music that makes you feel something.

[@jiyankara8867]

2 min in and tears are already rolling down

[@jiyankara8867]

It's been a year and I forgot about this song, but today I heard it again and the tears are rolling again. I can't believe it's already been a year, all that pain....

[@dhohabaig6431]

i cry everytime i hear this song . it's so emotional and i just wanna give james a hug.

[@abcabc-cb1vj]

Now I understand his voice and his depressions...💔

[@parisjohnson9931]

If there ever was a song to describe high school friendships & relationships, I think this song shows it better.

[@sambrown9339]

Incredible, his music and voice move me

[@irena2032]

This song needs to be recorded and released

[@mariahw7696]

[@misstwilight888]

[@TylerDurden42069]

Glad I found this song he should sing this live sometime

[@ErickFlores-jt3td]

Still get emotional every time I hear this

[@lobaetoile8440]

This song still hurts.

[@carollewis9827]

love this song, so sad.

[@budgiregar8018]

The original version, on achk29, made from his bedroom when he originally felt it all, is the true feeling to this song. As I warned in my previous post, it has been meddled with, to deter listeners, but I always think the artist should get the accolade, not the site that's able to put the lyrics on screen..

[@shanahan2011]

Woa this gives me chills!

[@nadiedeboer9322]

I want to make him happy , cuz I love this guy

[@naomimartinez1486]

If i could have a few minutes with james to tell him my story i will feel very happy. It will make me even happy if he wrote a song of my story to share with the world .... I love every song he has

[@Lyii9]

We can feel his pain through lyrics.. he's angry and hurt, I can see that :/

[@stephaniemel7727]

well THIS IS A SONG THAT I WOULD GLADLY like to learn how to play on my guitar, such a true and beautiful song

[@Alyssaclark2318]

This song kinda gets me..... 😔 depression and anxiety life... Right here

[@carollewis4532]

so sad, great song

[@budgiregar8018]

blips have been introduced into the original version of this to deter listening, all the more reason to listen.

[@Kalebmyg]

Proud of you James.

[@stephanieschulz7013]

This song breaks my heart! 😢

[@irena2032]

Great song.

[@dumpacct8576]

Beautiful ♚

[@tamekacolley7767]

I feel every word. I hear his pain. I understand ..I went through it💔💔

[@natalaki1999]

maybe he'll care when I'm dead

[@rosesmith7398]

this song almost made me cry

[@anochkaana6281]

omg i think he's talking about himself if that was true am really sorry@@# and he is the most nice and talented singer and his mum must be proud of him not pushing on him and if its not well than this song and this words are really true am feeling that way always love for you always😘😘😘😍

[@Owangatang]

im pretty sure he is. because in his xfactor audition he was talking about how he got thrown out of school all the time and how he signed himself up for foster care

[@anochkaana6281]

Owangatang omg that's so sad how could she omg but now at least he is so successful love him more 😊😊😚

[@Owangatang]

Anochka Ana it was because his mum and dad were arguing alot, having relationship issues, and he thought that he should just grow up and stop hiding.

[@anochkaana6281]

Owangatang am happy he did because hiding from anything is the most scary thing and his in better place so glad for him thank you so much😘😘

[@jules2828]

I Unproudly Present Is about James himself. He is giving us a glimpse into his difficult upbringing and emotional struggles. You should get his cd Back From The Edge {2016}. He always brings us into his world in good or bad times. Also check out Rudimental, Sun Comes Up feat. James Authur soooooo gooood

[@lazarreahead7376]

why bones life have to be so hard this song describes my life its full of crap and almost every night I do have to cry myself to sleep but that's not stopping me from fighting because I got friends that are always by my side so to all you people out if you are going through a lot of crap don't give up because there are friends and family that actually loves you so don't give up

[@asslookinass]

i love this pain

[@beatrizmonteiro9292]

Perfect!

[@tracysmart2342]

I can totally relate to this as I still run to this day, I wasn't welcome XxX

[@amulcaire]

Sooooo good

[@Taly_gee]

WHATS A BACKSTAB BETWEEN FRIENDS? 😢

[@Owangatang]

an insta kill

[@budgiregar8018]

I would like to unproudly divert you pure music lovers to James original version on Achk29 1 yr ago, songs from his bedroom, as a youngster when this came straight from his heart, it'll kill you.

[@luisalbertobautistabautist4297]

what? o.O

[@lemonli1749]

This one broke my heart :(

[@itzzheniahere6824]

I love this video, but one of the lyrics that you wrote goes like “A Disappointing Pride”. He actually says, “The Disappointing Part”.

[@HP2000x]

I’m so pissed X factor didn’t let James sing his own songs. Fuck that show

[@billiemarierosado4038]

i can relate to this song in some ways. :( is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[@crazy4life770]

Whatever you want it to be

[@cathycooper5606]

Omg crying
