[@MariamShaalan]

This song makes me cry, especially the line "Tell me how to be in this world, tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt" because this is what I feel most of the time, like I'm holding my breath, not willing to breathe because of literal and metaphorical smoke. And then he says "Even in the dark we will find a way out" which makes me cry, lol

'Cause I'm losing hope Tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell me how could I believe in something I believe in us After the wreckage After the dust I still hear the howling, I still feel the rush Over the riots, above all the noise Through all the worry, I still hear your voice So, tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell me how 'cause I believe in something I believe in us Tell me when the light goes out That even in the dark we will find a way out Tell me now 'cause I believe in something I believe in us Used to be kids living just for kicks In cinema seats, learning how to kiss Running through streets that were painted gold We never believed we'd grow up like this So tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell me how 'cause I believe in something I believe in us Tell me when the light goes out That even in the dark we can find a way out Tell me now 'cause I believe in something I believe in us I believe in something And I believe in us

best bit of his range, with that raspy edge. Gives me goosebumps as well. I can't wait to see him live.

[@klove33]

So good

[@SoniaOReilly]

Alicia's alternate melody of the chorus at the end is so SO good !!

[@tongayianesumatambanadzo7021]

Sonia O'Reilly ms alicia keys absolutely nailed it.

[@gregoriordan7576]

Sonia O'Reilly Agreed. It worked so well. Fantastic duet.

[@edcady-ross9858]

Agreed but it's called a Harmony, not an alternate melody

[@AVAtticus182]

@Edward Cady-Ross probably referring to the soulful improv during the bridge/build

[@HayesInTheHole]

Edward Cady-Ross probably the part in 2:20, which is different than James's solo version and the recorded duet.

[@pauloliberato3093]

Deserves the top, this song is so meaningful, genuine and pure. Unfortunately songs like this are not the type of song that people put on top

[@gretabaldari1740]

This is the kind of song not everyone puts on top, it's sad. But that says how this song is on a high level. Genuine beauty is not for anyone, like this song. :)

[@dreamstaradvertising2900]

james bay is the guy i read about in my books...that chiseled face, jawline...soft dimples...hair that touches his face like no tomorrow, eyes that pierces the soul ...need i say more

[@mariamfuadianitu9278]

James Bay and Alica keys should do more song there voice sounds so beautiful together

[@francykendrick4740]

in 2018 (by this amazing song sung with 'Alicia Keyes') 'James Bay' pre-empted completely, the need 4 people to value each other and hang on to such a positive value, throughout 'a darker time of crisis'. So in effect 'they' created 'An Anthem for Faith and Courage' 4 people in the Pandemic. (encouraged me to search for what and who is most important in my life, take nothing from God ,for granted). So thank them extremely much for the gift that they gave.
