[@ThatGuyISaw]

Michael Philip Nepomuceno has nothing to do with God. He made himself the man he is.

[@michaelphilip9256]

Adam Kowalski Are serious right now? If it wasn't for God james is not in there, for christ sake, Sorry about this but I think you're one of the Anti-Christ.

[@neesh6362]

🔥

[@AlyJiselle]

When I first heard this on the radio, I was driving to work but I was so instantly mesmerized (with both his voice and the lyrics), that I literally pulled over, stopped my car, searched online for the album, and purchased it right then and there. That was about 3 weeks ago, and I've since purchased 3 other albums, making it 4 total. His voice is beyond amazing, and his songs are deeply moving and poetic. I'm officially addicted to James Arthur and I hope he tours in my area soon!

[@jadagreen4550]

You from the UK? He is doing his first arena tour starting next week i think😉

[@vickybrown2011]

He's even more amazing in person his voice is huge and the emotion just hits u. He sounds even better if possible hope u get to see him soon😁

[@serilillibet8629]

I love this. Such a beautiful story.

[@carolinelangford7293]

I had tickets for December 2019 and I was so excited. I rarely see Artists because I dont get interested enough ans especially if a big tour. I want acoustic and small venues to really enjoy it. He was coming to a small venue near me and I couldnt believe my luck when I managed to get tickets. He was suffering a bit at the time and postponed until June 2020. Which is what he obvs needed to do but then Coronavirus cancelled it and now it's not being postponed. I bet he doesnt come back and I'm that lucky to get tickets again for a small venue! Heartbroken!!

[@cathycrowder17]

Same sort of story for me. Discovered him a little over a year ago, couldn't get enough of his voice, bought his albums and his book, purchased tickets for 2 different shows here in the USA just to have everything canceled! Thank goodness we have such a wealth of his music videos to enjoy!

[@TotalGleek426]

3:30 my god that tiny voice crack, that emotion, there is no one else like this in this world and there never will be again

[@giannaminocha]

His eyes show the amount of pain he's gone through, and it sucks, absolutely sucks, to see him like that. He shouldn't have had to go through any of that pain. I'm sad.

[@rachelhamann9215]

Gianna Minocha I’m sad for his pain to, but just imagine we wouldn’t have THIS voice without it.

[@mitchellthorne3526]

He puts his pain in to his music, and it seem like he is hurting if you listen to the voice

[@ealey14]

Love how he changes how he sings his own songs in so many different ways.

[@chloeprice6469]

The way he says "can i be him" just too much for my heart 💔

I'm literally tearing up. This guy is definitely a musical wizard. Just look at those emotions that he puts every time he sings. It's UNBELIEVABLE.

[@edwins5804]

You can't put that much emotions in a song like James does... He's a masterpiece... He has masters degree in this thing

[@mitchellthorne3526]

Sounds like he had been hurt. And he puts it into his music

[@wemeltstuff1462]

Does he have one of the best voices in the world? like ever? I'm not some james arthur fan boy and he isn't my go to genre but seriously his voice is something else. it has to be one of the best ever. special.

[@markjenismyno1]

You feel so much emotion coming from him that you feel everything he's singing. Gosh, this was amazing. Especially at 3:50-4:40 goosebumps

James is opening for one republic in august. Not that I do not love One Republic but I bought my front row tickets to see James!

[@dudemanismadcool]

Good move, its what you need to do to crack America, put in the hard yards and take the smaller gigs.

[@davidmayeranderson1291]

Went to One Republic in Denver a few weeks ago. Wasn't that familiar with James, other than recognizing some of his songs, esp. Say You Won't Let Go. He was so much better than the middle act, wish he would have been given more time. I'm an enormous fan now!

[@cathcrow9352]

love your statement...wish I could give it a thousand thumbs up!

James Arthur has such an incredible voice!!!!! He really knows how to put all his emotions into a song and we all feel it with him. A person who can convey that through music is super talented and precious!

[@greeneyes011765]

WOW!!!! is he amazing or what? sings with his eyes closed as if thinking of an old flame with love deep in his soul

[@karenstear4935]

For me this man compares to how I felt watching Elvis Presley in the 70’s. Just brilliant. What a song writer. I have reconnected with the man I fell in love with back then too and have turned him on to JA too. Music fills our lives

[@Basman59]

You have taken us back to a time when we were unbroken you’ve always been all I wanted. You’ve brought us to this juncture, introduced me to JA, and opened my eyes in so many ways - the light that came on was when you entered my life again. He sings and expresses all I feel all because of you.

If you see very carefully, he is also in tears by the end of it. THAT is called PURE TALENT. When the singer actually FEELS the pain and SINGS the song GETTING INTO THAT PAIN is called PURE TALENT.

he's so underrated. he should have credit just like Ed Sheeran even more

I 100% agree.

Definitely more than Ed Sheeran

Vidyaswinta Wikansepni has a performer/singer no doubt. The thing is Ed writes his own music and also is an expert in guitar and in using loop padel.

I'm pretty sure James makes and writes his own music on Ed's level if not better.

[@juliogomez9684]

You walked into the room And now my heart's been stolen You took me back in time to when I was unbroken Now you're all I want And I knew it from the very first moment 'Cause a light came on when I heard that song And I want you to sing it again I swear that every word you sing You wrote them for me Like it was a private show But I know you never saw me When the lights come on and I'm on my own Will you be there to sing it again? Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories? Can I be him? I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips It's all that I've been thinking about 'Cause a light came on when I heard that song And I want you to sing it again I swear that every word you sing You wrote them for me Like it was a private show But I know you never saw me When the lights come on and I'm on my own Will you be there to sing it again? Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories? Can I be the one? Can I be the one? Can I be the one? Oh, can I, can I be him? Won't you sing it again Oh, when you sing it again Can I be him Won't you sing it again Oh, when you sing it again Can I be him I swear that every word you sing You wrote them for me Like it was a private show But I know you never saw me When the lights come on and I'm on my own Will you be there, will you be there Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories Can I be him?

I made a video for God's own country, the gay film, with this song on videoshow but afraid to post it because of copyright stuff until it got lost. I really love this song because it speaks of so much pain and too much love for someone's own good. Like to the point of pleading for affection which is by the way the worst thing someone can do. Oh, i love it! Love this so much.
