He's the only singer who makes me cry so many times. I don't know how he do this, but his songs are really beautiful. His every song is saying something. Something true ;) Sometimes my throat is constricted and i can't say anything. Well, yes. I can say it - James Morrison is incredible ;)

[@jacktownsend]

You can tell by the way he sings the song, judging by the albumn, hes loving doing it. And i personaly think, his live versions are sooo much better, beacuse you can tell hes singing them how he means to1 Love the albumn as well :D Well done mate, very well done!

[@Clubmanx456]

Sometimes I just can't believe he is singing live, he is the best live singer i've ever heard.

[@LittleMraz24]

James Morrison is such an under rated artist. Just listen to his unique voice...

[@benharding10]

[@misaandcoart]

He's popular. :) People just keep on coming. Lol. Awesome singer, such an inspiration.

[@btc1beard]

I very very rarely comment but that is absolutely unbelievable. An amazing voice and puts my video's to shame. Some artists you would pay good money to see because the talent is so obvious and both lyrically and vocally, James Morrison is up there with Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley and Cee Lo Green (although very different genres) as a male singer songwriter. This is why youtube is so brilliant and why James Morrison should stay a huge success!

[@nandinhabcastro]

Uau! This guy sing very very good, I love his songs, they's perfects. The his songs makes feel something, a fantastic something! I love this songs!!!! The other singers don't think in make in the street, James's different!

[@Tralalala009]

it is on the new album! =D I love it too!

[@dheemsdheems]

ah this is amazing!absolutely love this song:)

[@taizyc]

lol.. i think there is something in his voice which tells me that we can actually trust him :)

[@InnerSailor]

i walk past there all the time, as if i missed this.

[@unoimsick]

wow never felt such chills

[@GeorgeVCooney]

The best part of this whole video is the poster of Summer Glau advertising the sarah connor chronicles aka the best programme in the entire world

[@paddytaggart]

[@JohnCleary2]

[@musicissensetional]

[@wagstaffdaniel]

[@flapperdoodle]

[@saydee92]

finally.. i thought im da only one who thought of that too.. James Morrison have a unique voice and he WROTE all of his songs.. that type of artistes should be looked up rather than some disney yuppies who buys songs from people... xD

[@solalupus3588]

He reminds me the brazilian singer *Tiago Iorc* it's like they sit together to write down

[@TheButterpimp]

Mate i was standing right where he is yesterday rolling a spliff lol

[@JordanG101]

I wonder if he chose the location? right next to HMV coincidently xD

[@Rohanarya1993]

He's raking it in lol

[@박상원-v7u]

I was the one who would always jump in first I didn’t think twice to look behind Got such a good feeling Just from playing in the dirt Once when I was little We could build a rocket, fly to the moon Leave Tuesday morning, and be back for noon And there wasn’t nothin, nothin that we couldn’t do Once when I was little Oh once when I was little Yeah I could dream more then I could believe more then That the world could only get better I could be free more then I could pretend more then That this life could only show me good times Once when I was little There was a time when I trusted everyone There was no place that I wouldn’t go Spend all day on the hillside Next to the barley mow Oh once when I was little Yeah once when I was little Yeah I could dream more then And I’d believe more then That the world would only get better I could be free more then I could pretend more then That this life could only show me good times Once when I was little I used to feel so strong Even when they’d tell me Tell me I was wrong That I can’t live in a magic world Coz it’s time for me grow up And I’ve got to live like the rest of them And I know things have been lost I could pretend more then And I could believe more then That the world it would only get better I could believe more then And I could pretend more then That this life it would only show me good times Once when I was little So here comes the next one Next in line Stay as young as you can For the longest time Coz those days flew by Like a breeze just passing through Once when I was little

[@ShakerLouie]

Woot? Getting money from the guitar bag?? Is the money for donation?? Even though, I really like him. His accent and performance and his cute face really attract to collect his new album as my 10th Albums collection. LOL!

[@FlyLosah]

That's a good voice. For sure.

[@florallove14]

And WHY did I not see this when I was there?!

[@LuluHeeNim]

@dueds lol...yeah..i did ask that but i don't understand your 1st reply to my comment..u didn't say what accent is that..

[@dogmanofdenstroude1]

[@andyst89]

[@susangraff1670]

The guy filming that girl putting change in the guitar case is going to need a restraining order

[@tadhgwp]

[@NazAlex]

Lol. I woulda bin like. "Move bitch I wanna go to HMV!"

[@MrBondybond]

Anyone know what guitar that is?

[@Claytagator]

Because sometimes people don't just do things for money.

[@neel35]

[@jeffreybrucebutterfield]

@vince198803 why can't he busk without a p.a. like most buskers do?

[@mugatu40]

[@LuluHeeNim]

[@AtreeFreestyler95]

[@shainarachelle]
