[@Lotgoos30]

James is so underrated, let’s give him the love he deserves

[@0212080041]

Underrated? Speak by yourself. Some people just don't get it and think these crazy thoughts...

[@xmw41wolf6]

"I'm so professional. This phone is sat on a suitcase, leaning against a shoe I like to keep it homegrown." Best thing I've heard this week.

[@tsuhary]

I didn´t know James at the time, but then I´ve made a research and found this song (among others), and heard all night long! Good memories! Good to have James to sing and play and now teach us how to play, altough I probably won´t, but, anyway...

[@5800junker]

The Space Between Us (one of my favourite movies) made me fall in love with this song which, ironically, made me fall in love with the movie. It gave it its magic and the intro riff immediately takes me to the open fields and their roadtrip.

Your songs it's just magic. That feelings in every single one. AMAZING! Loooove ya

[@laoisemacken3210]

This might be just me, but i'm loving all these acoustic covers because my favourite hobby before all of this was jamming out with my music class when one person would play and we'd all join in separately, playing and singing along to each other in harmony. Honestly it was just the most wholesome thing ever. Due to covid-19 i don't know if i'll ever be going back again as i'm in my last year but all these acoustic sessions are bringing me so much comfort at the moment. Almost like sitting in the small music room where so many joyful memories are made.

[@gimashdias4543]

No idea how to play the guitar, but I know you're an absolute genius. Just the guitar playing conveys the emotions of the song!!! ♥

[@KlodCast]

I listened to this songs for months and months every morning on my way to work. Felt a bit special morning. Just bought my first guitar ever. Hopefully I'll be able to play this, even if only the riff would be great.

[@johnbyrne32]

What a really nice guy.
