“I haven’t sung in a few days let’s see how this goes”- James Bay who then proceeds to give a beautiful performance

[@nomountainNOM]

Right!?

[@H5chi]

Now Me trying to imagine him singing after he's been practicing for it 🤔

[@kshitiz6699]

does anyone here think that he is unbelievably underrated

[@ungraceful95]

1.7m subscribers is not what I call underrated.

[@gdfggggg]

I know, that’s what I thought.

[@JamToff]

oh yes

[@MEVMontana]

I think he is on his way. Don't rush for applause. Easier said than done, I know

[@shar3066]

Wth does radio keep playing harry styles and taylor swift over and over? The mass miss out discovering great muscians like James bay who have loads and loads of great songs that are both passionated and means something! A lot of people miss out on this amazing man because media controls whats being put out there.

[@BenRobson123]

Who else doesn't even own a guitar, but loves these live streams anyway!😍

[@beccataylor6011]

I watched this entire video yesterday and loved every second of it. He's so genuine and talented l.

[@BenRobson123]

Becca Taylor Me too! It’s like having your own very talented friend!

[@A682D]

Do I own a guitar? No. Do I know how to play the guitar? Also no. Will be watching each and every one of these lessons? HECK YEAH!

[@jennifercb3309]

As soon as I can meet him once I won't let him go, I swear 🎵 😭♥️

[@beccataylor6011]

😭😭🙌🏻

[@olivia.102]

[@danielkudarsky3760]

@@dylanmichanhom7171 I tried so many times but couldn't get it.

[@JLaCorte1414]

I don’t understand how anyone could unlike this

[@liseprahm]

Oh,I know that feeling,when I think about the love of my life,it’s hard to be without him,👁👁😓💜🎸

[@nellaazizah9647]

I can't playing guitar, but I see when the teacher to give the lesson and audience to give the questions that relevance , it's beauty comunication. Bravo for James bay (Aeni)

[@TheMouseAndTheMoonCrafts]

I can’t play a guitar whatsoever, wouldn’t know where to start! But I love your music, and this song in particular blows my mind x

[@annapooh4179]

How not love this person? If it were for the voice it would be enough, but ... all this simplicity and friendliness is ... perfect!

[@noahleon9650]

This is such a good idea, makes me appreciate him more

[@Annie-ZA]

DRAT! I'm always a minute or 2 late for LIVE ... never mind I still get to enjoy this! 👌😍

[@michellebean8422]

What time is it live please? Keep missing it 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@discerror404]

James you are my hero

[@NadiaRox]

The first time eye heard scars eye had goosebumps. The second time eye heard scars eye screamed, it brought up so many emotions from my past eye couldnt deal with. The third time eye heard scars eye cried. This is one of my fav James songs, it has healed me from some shit eye didnt know eye needed healing on. SCARS IS SUCH AN APPROPRIATE NAME!!!

[@aleksirmusic]

'Clocks Go Forward' - my favorite song ever. I love Ed Sheeran songs, but James is the greatest artist and my soulmate. 'Move Together and Let It Go' - the best pieces of art in my life ❤️

[@melgothorp200]

James bay if I saw u I would cry because I went to your concert a couple years ago and I loved it and I loved u for ages ❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@naki-wz9ls]

Un moment suspendu hors du temps, c'est magique et juste sublime 😍

[@RajanSagoo]

Thank you so much for teaching us to play your songs authentically! So rare to see! What a legend!! 🫶👊🙏

[@dariajakubauskaite522]

It's so great to hear you! Thank you once again for your lessons, for sharing your music in such hard time, I appreciate it and your songs, they really touching.. Scars is just one of my favourites. Also, I hope that everybody together with me gets better being focused on learning songs in home, or playing them from balcony. Somehow music takes you in different place, where is no room and no time, just undescribable feeling, and its absolutely heals. So let's be patient and stay bounded with music.

[@christiankraus7243]

This is extremely cool of you to do!! huge fan of your music, learning a song from the original artist is awesome!

[@hugom.3686]

You are an incredible human being James. Seriously my FAVORITE musician/writer of all time! No one sings about the things you do so I thank you for sharing. From your first song I just knew everything I heard there forward would always be from your heart. It is difficult to find genuine artists like you. I saw you in Denver at the Fillmore and I can't wait until you come back! I would LOVE to hear Slide OR Running

[@desbennett]

I have missed your lesson's, more than you can imagine 😳🎸💞🎼

[@RenteaRadu]

[Verse 1] You're setting off It's time to go, the engine's running My mind is lost We always knew this day was coming And now it's more frightening than it's ever going to be We grow apart I watch you on the red horizon Your lion's heart Will protect you under stormy skies And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears [Pre-Chorus] And as soon as I can hold you once again I won't let go of you, I swear [Chorus] We lived through scars this time But I've made up my mind We can't leave us behind, anymore [Verse 2] Your hands are cold Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking This fragile heart So heavy in my chest, it's breaking And in the dark, you try to make a payphone call to me But you're miles away You're breaking up, you're on your own It's hard to take I need an hour just to say hello But I can't make the truth of if this work out for you or me [Pre-Chorus] And for all the pennies in your pocket We barely get a second just to speak [Chorus] We lived through scars this time But I've made up my mind We can't leave us behind, anymore We'll have to hurt for now But next time there's no doubt Cause I can't go without you, anymore [Bridge] Oh, no Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, no, oh We get hurt [Chorus] We lived through scars this time But I've made up my mind No, we can't leave us behind, anymore We'll have to hurt for now But next time, there's no doubt Cause I can't go without you, anymore [Outro] No, I can't go without you, anymore

[@tveshasharma]
