[@user-tk4ou4dv9e]

この曲がspotifyで出てからずっと今まで聴き続けてます本家もいいけどbayの歌の方がなんだか心に響いてすごくいい人生のmy best playlistです❤

[@squidy2343]

Oooo much better seeing it live here than just the audio. Watching his passion for playing can make a song 10 times better.

[@reallyvictor]

I listened to James Bay before he was famous, literally when he had a friend recording him for a video with his guitar. He's came so far, he's amazing! A lot of people are late to his greatness.

[@rogelenetan3367]

Oh really? You must be so proud

[@SerenaLoveL]

Didn't expect it to be this good. Such a talent!

[@elizabethmarcinova184]

SerenaLoveL he's always amazing :)

[@liseprahm]

I will always love this song,from James Bay lovely voice 🎸😍

[@Pr1ncessNixsy]

He played this at his glasgow concert a few weeks ago and it was incredible. Not only is he an incredible singer, but he is insane on the guitar! James and his other guitarist had a instrumental battle during this song... It was incredible!

[@staceyatkinson4724]

Truly beautiful song.. goosebumps on goosebumps 👏 xxxx

[@ajjdarklord]

Dude has mad vocal range with his unique harmonies

[@jasonedwards7483]

He is just a special talent simple as that!

[@too2easy13]

Agreed! Simple.... mm mm mmmm

[@LewisDalton]

Amazing!! His playing reminds me of John Mayer so much.

[@christinechang4722]

I literally was just about to say!

[@guysherf7693]

Both some of the best blues players of our generation.

[@khickling3746]

Holy shit yea. His riffs in between lyrics have the same feel

INCREDIBLE

[@Juliafonttt]

[@morzaleemohammedharris5448]

very nice cover , gives a different feel..

[@rachkate76]

The awkward moment when James Bay's cover becomes better than the original, and the only version you can listen to anymore. 😅

[@teresawilliams5018]

Ditto

[@321garret]

nope

[@LaserrSharp]

Why everyone gotta pass judgment ... just enjoy

[@panfluteskeleton]

[@rorypullenmusic8217]

I ended up doing a cover of this cover haha. Loved this song the moment I heard James cover it

[@jd49631]

Wow! Love him.

[@MsQuickSilver]

"Everythin' means nothin' if I ain't got you", tell me about it. Ooohh man, this Alicia Keys cover gives me a warm fuzzy feeling for some reason!

[@clancey7867]

ahhhh sigh!!!why are you so good James-i bet ur good at everything you do ;)

[@jennifercb3309]

This is how the talent looks like 👏

[@Ramonafloyd]

I love that he is actually feeling it, which is rare and it's something that's missing in corporate radio musical factory of autotuned industry ..

[@LeandroBergSchulz]

When someone ask me about a good sound, this is kind one, too good.

[@nataliadelgado8182]

He’s such an amazing musician. I admire him so much god.

[@Redlady8029]

WOW! This guy can sing anything and make it sound better than the original.

[@UltimateEvilborn]

I'm guessing the real reason celebrities like Taylor Swift or Selena Gomez are going to take a break from music, is because they saw this guy and thought well I need alot more training to compete with him...

[@UltimateEvilborn]

+Evilborn Ultimate PS. Ain't nobody got time for punctuation

[@KaterinaV]

I really like James Bay and this cover is really great but I adore Alicia Keys and especially this song(is one of my absolutely favourites) and I just can't just hear it easily from no one else but AK....p.s. it really reminds of John Mayer....

[@faithpelletier-king4156]

Everyone who liked this, gomtake a look at: james bay- if i aint got you(cover)// Bristol That one is 100% better even if i didnt think it was possible.. James bay surpasses himself lol the emotions, the signing and the guitar! Its fabulous!

[@yvanneee4454]

[@dford145]

[@Eaidgf]

It's the best version!

[@rigor3945]

Some people live for the fortune Some people live just for the fame Some people live for the power Some people live just to play the game Some people think that the physical things define what's within But I’ve been there before, and that life's a bore So full of the superficial [Chorus] Some people want it all And I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, babe Some people bought diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you Oh [Verse 2] Some people search for the fountain That promises forever young Some people need three dozen roses ‘Cause that's the only way to prove you love them, yeah So hand me the world on a silver platter Oh, what would it be With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for, for me [Chorus] Some people want it all I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you Oh, whoa Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all, no If it ain't you, baby If I ain't gotcha, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you Oh [Verse 3] Nothing in this whole wide world Don’t mean a thing If I ain’t got you with me, yeah Oh No, nothing in this whole wide world Don’t mean a thing If I ain’t got you with me Oh

[@abigaillennon3564]

Hey does anyone have the chords for his cover???? I can't tell exactly from just watching and the ones i've searched up just don't sound right compared to what he's playing here. I'd love to play it, I love his version so much.

[@myahamilton800]

Aw wish I was there...

[@bernadetterobinson7821]

I have to think the dislikes on this are only bc of the sound quality

[@steveunasa7979]

Churrrrr sweet 🎤

[@andreaobrien4775]

So much of a John Mayer vibe with the blues chords.. John probably Is the master with the Guitar but James voice makes even with the two.. No comparisons off course, they are both Amazing!! Chapeu mr bay👏👏👏

[@leviwaer8029]

[@mandykal]

Is this the open mic video that got someone's attention???

[@nicksanford1881]

No, this is during his American fame. The original video is at an English nightclub.

[@jaclynmcclelland9351]

This reminded me of John Mayer. :)

[@andrezzasilva7088]

Can anyone tell where I can download this song? Please thank you!

[@texaslver]

Spotify

[@davebarneveld2827]

Does someone have any tabs for this version? really like to play it

[@SylwekGrega]

Challenge you're self by trying to figure it out :)

[@Gehlvin]

Everything you see him play just remember he is tuned down a whole step! His first chord F, is truly an Eb!

[@andreaitaovi]

does someone know the chords he's playing?

[@Vagsalt]

+Andrea G. Shouldn't be to hard to figure out from looking at his hands, just keep in mind that he's tuned down one hole step. So the first chord is a D#, second Cm7 and so on. Hope this helps, good luck!

[@andreaitaovi]

yes! you're right, I tried to but I couldn't recognize any chords haha so thank you!

[@TheLosDacos]

So is it a drop D tuning? Am i still playing the d# as if its normal tuning? please help me thanks... :(

[@Vagsalt]

Hi, it's not drop D. You tune all strings down one whole step. I guess you could call it D standard as well. From low to high it's D-G-C-F-A-D. The first chord he plays looks like an F but since he's tuned down one whole step to D standard this becomes a D#. Good luck! :)

[@Mist_R]

Marcus is right about the tuning. To simply explain, with that tuning, he plays F>>some sort of Dm(7?)>>Gm7>>C. for the verse. Refrain F>>Gm7>>Am7 back and forth, here he only plays the strings 2,3,4. Chorus: Bb>>Am7>>Gm7>>F. the notes he plays are more tricky and idk what they're called but that's about the basic version. I had to learn the song so might as well share.

[@joaodasilva7415]

My God, I'm in love and I'm a girl

[@eahernandez8856]

What kind of genre would this be considered?

[@nicksanford1881]

Alicia Keys (original version) is more R&B. This is probably a mix of Soft Rock/R&B

[@chrissimpson9846]

folk r&b.

[@saritsrisuwan1630]

James bayer

[@ruderichrudolf8494]

cause of John mayer?

[@tompotter1349]

Anyone know what chords hes playing?

[@keithtran7958]

He tuned every string down a whole step, so it's in DGCFAD tuning (which means if I say the F chord, it's actually Eb in standard tuning, and if I say Dm, it's Cm in standard tuning, etc.) Mostly it's: Verse: *F - Dm - Gm7 - C7 (Caug) - F - F#dim - Gm7 - C7 (Caug)* (standard tuning: Eb - Cm - Fm7 - Bb7 (Bbaug) - Eb - Edim - Fm7 - Bb7 (Bbaug)) Pre-chorus: *F - Gm7 - Am7 - Gm7* (standard tuning: Eb - Fm7 - Gm7 - Fm7) Chorus: *Bb - Am7 - Gm7 - F* (standard tuning: Ab - Gm7 - Fm7 - Eb) It's basically the original in F (Eb in standard tuning), with the Caug and F#dim added in the verse so it sounds a bit more bluesy (also the way he plays it too).

[@tompotter1349]

Nguyen Kiet A. Thanks so much dood, really appreciate it.

[@keithtran7958]

Tom Potter No problem man :-)

[@TheLosDacos]

Nguyen, you are da real MVP! Thank you so much.!!
