Sorry for the absence lately, its only 3 weeks now until I finish university! Found a bit of time so thought I'd put out something which I've had a few requests for :)

LYRICS I found a love for me Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love Not knowing what it was I will not give you up this time But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own And in your eyes, you're holding mine Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets To carry love, to carry children of our own We are still kids, but we're so in love Fighting against all odds I know we'll be alright this time Darling, just hold my hand Be my girl, I'll be your man I see my future in your eyes Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song I have faith in what I see Now I know I have met an angel in person And she looks perfect I don't deserve this You look perfect tonight

[@lotfi106]

This is literally perfection.

I found a love for me Aku temukan cintaku Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead Kasih, tempuhlah dan ikuti langkahku Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet Nah, aku menemukan seorang gadis, cantik serta manis Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me Oh, aku tak pernah tahu kau seseorang yang menantikanku 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love Karena kita hanyalah anak-anak ketika jatuh cinta Not knowing what it was Tak mengerti itu I will not give you up this time Aku tak akan berikan padamu hingga saat ini But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own Tapi kasih, ciumlah aku perlahan, perasaanmulah segala yang kupunya And in your eyes you're holding mine Dan dalam tatapanmu kaulah milik ku [Chorus:] Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms Sayang, aku menari dalam kegelapan bersamamu di pelukan Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song Tak beralas kaki di rumput, mendengarkan lagu kesukaan kita When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath Saat kau berkata kau tampah kacau, aku berbisik dengan pelan But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight Tapi kau mendengarnya, kau terlihat sempurna malam ini [Verse 2:] Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know Ya aku temukan wanita, lebih tangguh dari siapapun yang kukenal She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home Dia mimpinya sama denganku, aku berharap kelak aku bisa satu rumah I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets Aku temukan cinta, untuk membawa lebih banyak dari sekedar rahasiaku To carry love, to carry children of our own Tuk membawa cinta, tuk membawa anak-anak kita sendiri We are still kids, but we're so in love Kita masih anak-anak, tapi kami begitu mencintai Fighting against all odds Berjuang hadapi segala rintangan I know we'll be alright this time Aku tahu kita akan baik-baik saja saat ini Darling, just hold my hand Kasih, peganglah tanganku Be my girl, I'll be your man Jadilah kekasihku, aku akan jadi kekasihmu I see my future in your eyes Aku lihat masa depanku di matamu [Chorus:] Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms Sayang, aku menari dalam kegelapan bersamamu di pelukan Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song Tak beralas kaki di rumput, mendengarkan lagu kesukaan kita When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath Saat kau berkata kau tampah kacau, aku berbisik dengan pelan But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight Tapi kau mendengarnya, kau terlihat sempurna malam ini [Instrumental] [Chorus:] Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms Sayang, aku menari dalam kegelapan bersamamu di pelukan Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song Tak beralas kaki di rumput, mendengarkan lagu kesukaan kita I have faith in what I see Aku berkeyakinan dengan yang kulihat Now I know I have met an angel in person Kini aku tahu, aku tlah bertemu malaikat berwujud manusia And she looks perfect, no I don't deserve this Dan dia terlihat sempurna, tidak, aku tak layak You look perfect tonight Kau terlihat sempurna malam ini

This is such an awesome arrangement man!

[@伍駿傑]

Insane perfect

[@TheLosDacos]

BEEN WAITING SOOOOOO LONG FOR A NEW COVER!! :) You have choosen a perfect song :P One question: Do you enjoy the music you cover? What kind of music do you listen to in your freetime? Do you also play the e guitar ?

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

+TheLosDacos Yeah, I insist on only covering songs I enjoy because you have to listen to and play them so much to arrange them, and if they're forced then arrangements aren't as good :) It kinda depends on my mood, I really like bands with good music beneath it like John Mayer, and all of his stuff to be honest haha. I quite like Nashville songwriters like Ben Rector, I also listen to fusion and Jazz like Snarky Puppy and things. I play a bit of electric, not much, but I don't normally take electrics to uni. After I finish I intend to broaden my guitar work and play more electric, my dad is just finishing a new guitar which will give me some more motivation :)

[@TheLosDacos]

@James: Wow Thank you so much for your fast reply. I love John Mayer's work especially after listening his live album "Where The Light Is". It's such a great album! (Especially the songs where he plays the acoustic!). So can we expect something from "The search for everything :P ?

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

I arranged You're Gonna Live Forever in Me last night, though realised after getting the intro its just verses so its only about 8 bars that repeat with small variations :P I'd quite like to record a short version anyway, and If I'm feeling adventurous I might do something like Moving on and Getting Over :)

[@Rirome61]

What are you studying? ..how long does it take you to master a song? Your amazing.

[@ramonalejandrotijerinacarr5086]

Amazing as always man, nice to hear you playing again

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

Thanks! Nice to be making videos again :)

[@scubagrant6045]

James, I just bought this song arrangement from you. Love it. You should probably mention that it is drop D tuning. I didn't see that on your site or on the tab. Thanks

[@fingerstylerahul5010]

perfect arrangement soooo sweet

[@Armandosmusic26]

hi james, nice to greet you ... i'm very curious about the different guitars you use, they are definitely very beautiful ... can you tell me in this case what is the brand of this guitar you use in this song?
