[@johnmcgough4584]

Thanks for the BIG UP and you getting the lyrics & vibe...I loved working with James but at this moment he is working with the big boys in the POP world. What ever he does will be good. Keep supporting James and the Project :)

[@tracymorgan2635]

Miss you john 😢

[@michellestephenson4036]

this should be his next song to hit the charts, cant stop listening to it ....... beautiful words

[@viewpointinout6601]

I have been loving this song for the past ...i dunno how long..since it came out in youtube.. BEAUTIFUL. I cannot understand why it is not in the radio all over the world already!!.

[@AngieRoberts142]

I cant get enough of this song.. I only wish I could buy it from somewhere so i can play it full blast in the car, and on my phone.. Mr John Mc Gough, you are a lyrical genious.. Some of these songs James Arthur has sang for you should have been released as a single.. This one in particular would be a number one hit.. Even more so now that he is so famous.. This song is beautiful and James Arthur sings it amazingly and with so much emotion.. Thank you.. x

[@johnmcgough4584]

Thank you so much for your comments and support. James is a real talent and brings my songs to life. He has so much passion for music. Keep supporting James and this Project. Many thanks :)

[@CourtenayDesign]

i find James Arthur hypnotising to listen too. I just really enjoy his voice. He has certainly done your track major justice. Superb.

[@ameliairizari8086]

The only one artist who has an overwhelming talent. The coolest man on earth❤

[@klaudiapa4405]

cudowna piosenka, głos ma piękny , nic dodać, tylko słuchać ;))

[@creinicke1000]

I'm fan from the US, since XFactor.. love these songs that most don't remember.. I love his new stuff.. but the earlier stuff is also perfection.

[@louisearthur8849]

Omg guys? This is class #JAP #LOVE #YNTSLY James your voice is so amazing its unreal! This needs to be in the charts soon!

[@jeanbilly8466]

any one here in 2017 ? I love this James should bring this out it would be tops .x he's got the Pain in his voice ....now he seems to be changing.well he is content now but hope he stays pure n raw. 😘

[@jeanbilly8466]

John Mc Gough .can't understand why he don't.? the words get to the core ov emotions felt by us all..💔 ✋

[@vanessahall2141]

Amazing!! I don't even want to sing along to any of his songs. I just want to listen. There's two reasons for this - James' amazing voice and the beautiful words he's singing. Thank you John Gough and James Arthur for bringing your music to the world!!!

[@ShaLalaivanova]

such a beautiful song!! James is very talented! :)

[@brennarosebrown]

Not only is James voice complete perfection but the lyrics are as well! Props to the song writer for sure!!!

[@tracysmart2342]

Hey John just wondering how your getting on n have you n James done anything together again yet. If not your obviously very talented yourself but as I said the first time it would be great to hear your music with Jame's voice again cos it just blew my mind good luck in whatever you do all my love Tracy.

[@ltdricks]

He is a great artist. I can't wait to get his album. I'm expecting great and huge things from him. He has a voice that can change music and the world.

[@rosiefindlay609]

this just gives me goosebumps..everytime. xxx

[@johnmcgough4584]

Thank you :)

[@lauraxLove3]

Quelle voix magnifique ! Il donne des frissons, j'adore !

[@melissajane9652]

Don't get me wrong I LOVE James Arthur and have done since he sang that first verse of on X factor. But your words and his voice have made some of my favourite songs. Superman and Tuesday. Your truly talented 😄

[@johnmcgough4584]

Thank you so much for your kind words, feed back and support. James is doing well again now and hopefully some of my songs will become more recognised :) x

[@caiohenrique253]

Hey John, i also appreciate so much your lyrics! I'm also a huge JA fan and would like to know the chords he uses in "Fade", "Alright" and "Superman"! They're great songs man, i'm now looking for some of your work.

[@TheIvyCottage]

Oh I love this song! James has more than a few fans in the states who are eagerly awaiting his debut album. This song is just beautiful in both melody and lyrics, well done John Mc Gough! I do hope you work with James again...it's a great partership!

[@MsFattan]

I think this should be number one in the world. He has so much emotion, sounds like he means every word he is saying. So much feeling and meaning in this song, unlike the songs these days which have no meaning. Just a jumble of words with artists jump around the set.

[@danielagarcia5052]

Canta super bonito! Tiene sus ojos parecidos a los de Paul mccourtney

[@mjhall39]

Guy is super-talented. He really is naturally gifted. His writing is superb as well. This guy is going to be massive. Trust me. I know many people state-side who are raving about this guy.

[@JamstamanGaming]

This song is ace!

[@johnmcgough4584]

+Jamstaman Gaming Thanks for the support...please share the #LOVE

[@nelsonfan24]

Totally incredible song. Very well written and very well sang. LOVE it, from the USA.

[@judithsowhat]

WTF? Are the 175 people are philistines? James is such a great and extraordinary artist. So much talent. Love.

[@theherobrinematter162]

James Arthur and John McGough make the perfect combination. I hope at some point in the future James realises this and the wider public get to enjoy his brilliant voice with music and songs that enhance his great voice and raw emotions. I love James when he sings John's songs and hope John can work with James again.

[@ualicegusttavo]

I Love This Song So Much!

[@ualicegusttavo]

John Mc Gough omg!

[@TheBulais]

James mate , i am a great fan of you from Romania, i live in Ireland ,Drogheda and after 1 year from your audition , people still speaking about you. ”Keep walking” and make us feeling good with your amazing voice. you r the best !!!!!!

[@bonelessx]

classic.. well done!

[@Avolution33]

Probably commented on this song before John, but I must say how perfectly understated the production is on this song. My main concern with any young singers is that they let their pure voice be heard above any of the production. You succeed wonderfully with this song. I hope to hear a few songs on James' upcoming album produced this way. I would love to meet him in Canada some day, even though I'm old enough to be his father. My favourite new artist this year by far, X Factor or not. Cheers!

[@WendiwooJarmy]

John are you going to work with James in the future ....I think you need to put out an album of these songs .James voice is just perfect for your songs ..I hope you can do something together again . God bless xxx

[@Fez_Co97]

Its not often an amazing raw talent like James gets mainstream airplay. My faith in the industry is restored.

[@ryanthomson4666]

Great lyrics john I'm a 23 year old singer songwriter and would love to have the chance to work with someone like yourself and get some material out there! And also I'm a massive james arthur fan

[@stephenbyrne3512]

James Arthur is the breath of fresh air that British music has needed, along with Ed Sheeran they could end wars...very beautiful ballad. So full of gratitiude for this very unassuming musical personality.

[@95SIKH]

[@Dunamermaid]

Love this song, love your voice James, so so much... it's out of this world... love all your music, your creativity, your poetic lyrics, your sweetness and sensitivity, your passion... so I guess I pretty much love everything about you. It's been like this since I saw that first audition of Tulisa's Young in 2012... You inspire me with each and every one of your songs. Forever a fan of great music... so, forever a fan of yours. A lot of Love and support from Spain.

[@DebberaThompson]

I live in Canada and Had to order James Cd from Hong Kong. Love his Cd but I keep coming back to this song, wish I could get this song on Cd too.

[@MsLucia28]

Get the KZbin Video Downloader program (theres a limited free version or you can get the full featured version I have) and it lets you download ANY youtube video and automatically converts the video to mp3. You can even set it to delete the videos after it converts them to mp3 to save wasting space on your pc having a whole load of videos you dont need. Then simply create a burn playist and burn the tracks to a cd for you to enjoy anywhere. Thats what I do and all it cost me was the price of the program for unlimited music. So heres a gift from me to you so you can go ahead and finally get this track on cd cos James As music was meant to be enjoyed to the fullest.

[@johnmcgough4584]

Thanks for support for #JAP &@JamesArthur23. This track is not on the Album but available on iTunes. Keep sharing the #LOVE

[@gailmethven435]

JAMES,I think you are the greatest, most talented singer song writer to ever be on this planet. Sincerely. There has been some great music in every decade but yours is by far the most intelligent and heartfelt. Gail

[@madelynandmark1]

I think this shows how hard it must be to break into the music business unless you have a gimmick or a lucky break. Amazing song, lyrics and perfect video, all done before x factor. In my opinion for what its worth this would be a perfect next release.

[@yahafftalaff337]

So amazing to see Johns amazing songs getting the recognition they deserve!

[@MalissaMatthew-g8r]

Still holding on 💜💜💜💜💜💯

[@arnauda161]

[@johnmcgough4584]

[@msarumova]

Aside from the fact that I love him and I'm so happy he won X factor because the industry needs someone like James. This song is beautiful., the words and music. I'm completely in love. Finally there's originality and it's done in a tasteful and talented way. I've been waiting for the music turn around and I think it's happening.

[@rebeccalittlewood3835]

This needs to get released as single, i'd love to see this in charts :) James Arthur your one of a kind. Cant wait to listen to your music and see you in charts

can remember listening to the james arthur project after his first audition and knew then he would win. one take artist, first artist you can say actually sings with emotion with any song, John McGough has done brilliantly with james.

[@MariamYMC]

The first time I saw him was on his audition for X factor, by accident, searching here for good music, (im from Panama and here this show is not available) but James Arthur captured my atention inmediately, now my friends my family, neighbors etc knows his music and they just love him :)

[@marinarich67]

Raw talent rarely seen , James Arther is an amazing singer, pure unplugged. Best x factor contestant ever.

[@Dunamermaid]

This song should be on a record.

[@johnmcgough4584]

Thanks to all the support for James and this Project. Over 1.5 million hits! Great feeling to know it's out there for people to get something from :) Keep my dreams alive and share x

[@MrShenzhentexas]

He is so young and so powerful. Who cares who wrote this song? We can not ask too much. It is just a beginning. I am sit back to enjoy all the singings here. Very few people did better job than the original. James did almost all the songs. He raised the original songs to next level. They should be grateful and thankful to be chosen by James. A star was born.

[@clarestebbings2955]

His voice is just so different. I really hope he goes on to be successful. i wish him all the luck in the world. He deserves it!!!

[@johnmcgough4584]

James Arthur; you are more than talented, your voice is AMAZING and your lyrics are even better!

[@craigmaydew]

Have been glued to the TV these past few weeks, James is an absolute genius. Hope his first album pulls all these tracks together. I will certainly be buying his album. Maybe his first should be entitled "Greatest Hits" because theyre already out there. Good work guys.

[@britainsgottalent891]

[@floralgia]

From day 1 I knew we had a true star, a true talent on the show. Pretty voices always were but THAT musical intelligence, that interpretation that I HAD to pay attention (usually I study/ read/chat and telly goes on background) and we got what we use art for. Catharsis. Thanks for sharing yourself with us. All the best!
