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

[@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!

[@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]

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

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!

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?

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.
