James Vincent McMorrow - If I had a Boat

[@lexiwesterterp7552]

There's that feeling of, what could only be called, utter emotion, that causes a lump in your throat, like you might cry. But you won't cry, because the tears aren't coming. It's just that feeling of hurt and happiness and sadness. There are select songs that cause that feeling. This is one of them.

[@Lisette005]

Lexi Westerterp spot on

[@houdaelmansouri9552]

Anyone here from 2023 😂😂😂 I still remember this song it was a gift from a pure soul❤

[@mfiles]

Arrived here after researching background music on American Idol during contestant interview Jan. 30. This is much better.

[@clishmaclaverer]

the lyrics are.. everything that I needed to hear. "this is not the end, this is just the world, such a foolish thing, such an honest girl."

[@stevendalloesingh1214]

[@verleneish]

“The Portuguese call it saudade: a longing for something so indefinite as to be indefinable. Love affairs, miseries of life, the way things were, people already dead, those who left and the ocean that tossed them on the shores of a different land - all things born of the soul that can only be felt.” ― Anthony De Sa, Barnacle Love .

[@bassamhalabiya2895]

More people should listen to him. More people should be inspired by him. More people need to acknowledge his existence and his brilliance. This man deserves so much more than this.

[@epsilonnaught1]

One of those songs that stops you in your tracks, and your heart begins to pound just a little harder as you realize you've just found a something that you know you are going to be listening for years to come. The lyrics are stunning, his voice is gorgeous and the melody makes me melt. Rarely does a song make me want to cry out in angst and sing with joy all at the same time.

[@venenavi]

Such a beautiful song

[@mariepettey850]

I can put this song on repeat and never get tired of listen

Pamiętam, choć dawno zapomniałem. Tak, czasem się na tym łapię. Klaudia, tak, z tym imieniem mi się ta melodia kojarzy. Z zachodem i wschodem. Z dziwnym uczuciem. Nigdy niewykorzystanym.

[@PrinzDe84]

Es ist einfach schön!

"She" is on original version and on most LIVE versions...
