JAMES BLAKE TINY DESK FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

[@c.nobody]

Vanessa Nostbakken not necessary. just go see him live

[@medvjedic1lino2]

Yes!

[@Quinsindiaan]

OMG THIS!!!!!

[@nomadben]

Yes!!!

[@spinachandcheese1]

like WTF is taking them so long?

[@morganfreeman2208]

If James Blake doesn’t perform at my wedding then I’m not going to my wedding

[@pandawolfpresents]

Morgan Freeman you're funny! Hahahahahahahha

[@astralpangaea]

exactly

[@ag.3202]

Evil racist pedophile who exploited and destroyed my family for profit. Nobody should ever admit to “James”/“Andrew” that they have any interest in music or dance. He’ll make you tired and suicidal all the time then only give you a tiny break each month so he can claim credit for your relief. You might enjoy music daily now but he’ll only allow you a few minutes a month if he gets into your life - then the egotistical narcissist will try to claim credit for your talents and NEVER allow you to practice them or be happy again.

[@chase7823]

Me neither.

[@real_bakerman]

That transition from Bill Withers to Radiohead had me dead. This is a comment from the afterlife. It's colder than I thought it was going to be. Should've worn a jacket.

[@breong1]

Bruh! I was literally about to post the exact same thing

[@truefunksoul8638]

Free comedy with lashings of crriiinnnngggggeeeeee :/

[@naerist]

Ahahahahaha YES

[@kernmckelvey]

Weird comment timing

[@tharicodrington5460]

Give Bill my love up there

[@jfreshgameover]

James blake is underrated to me . I know he's big but he needs to be bigger.

[@Khrisstyan86]

yeah, imagine that few years ago was with only 1-2k followers and his videos on youtube had in the best case 3-4k ... and I was like..the world is retarded?

[@SS-bk2zb]

@@Khrisstyan86 few years must be a relative concept because it's 7 years he released Overgrown and life round here was remixed by Chance the Rapper. Retrograde music video had a million views pretty fast. His first album was back in 2011. Both albums are rated an average 81/100 on Metacritic so it's not like he was a nobody back then.

[@atieanne]

He's 6 foot 5 for Christ's sake

[@caterpillarjoedjixjxbd2677]

That is so true

[@shakesgharris]

It's best he stays like this incase mainstream messes up his sound!

[@bsambista7290]

When you see Natgeo 37:50 on the live comment, you should know that world was needing James Blake’s performance .

[@goldenxronnie3739]

Look at the MATERIAL. When he did Godspeed and Retrograde I lost my mind

[@cindydoggenmidasthebordert4886]

Intimacy, warmth, combined with these dissonant chords. Breathtaking

[@miamifirefly53]

Vincent always reaches into my soul Blake. It's my go-to cry song

[@995112147]

I think I come back to this at least 5 times a month since originally being posted and just watch the whole thing. Something about where I was at in quarantine and how this set carried me through some low times really makes it special. Just wanted to thank ya James.

[@pranavmarla]

The man literally had JID fanboying in the chat

[@anudhajayakulasuriya5807]

Pranav Marla Jid meaning rapper Jid?

[@21daystill]

I loved this and come back to it quite often. Can’t wait to listen to the new record on vinyl.

[@sebastiaenn]

A Case Of You. Absolute favorite.

[@steelguts777]

such a pure heavenly voice

[@Sea_witch_]

You're an angel James, thanks for uploading your livestream, for us folks who dont use IG ❤🤘🏼

[@cameronstills1412]

James Blake... man... so underrated. Needs to be a superstar for the work he’s done.

[@DatDaDatty]

legend for doin this

[@mathewp4777]

Hope she'll be happier in to No surprises gave me chills. Bravo James, killed it.

[@mathewp4777]

Also Godspeed was spot on

[@petamorrantactoruk95]

A stunningly beautiful way to spend Easter Sunday afternoon, Much love

[@BenjaminCode]

Best confinment gift ever. You're legend James and it's so good to see a legend living and being confined like the rest of the world like us. It reminds us that we are all human but some amongst us are legends.

[@raisssass]

James thank you for this concert, it's like the best thing that could happen in the most difficult day this year. No Surprises just made me cry and I haven't listened to Vincent yet.

[@emile7323]

SAMEEEEEEEEEE

[@cloudysleep4732]

i know all these songs by heart. listened to every album hundreds of times and i still cried. also feeling REALLY blessed that i got to hear James attempt "Into The Red" live because he is cleary apprehensive about trying it again. I remember it sounded a little rough but still fucking incredible live in Atlanta. :)

[@FlyteDanny]

James, you deserve to be protected, you're too pure for this world.

This video kept me alive throughout the pandemic, and still does. Thank you James

[@djaxon12]

The piano version of Life Round Here is soooo goood! num num num!

[@stellaakuamensah5825]

unreal

[@mortigus2878]

Best thing to come out of quarantine

[@LesllyA]

the way that James Blake has carried me through the last four years of my life.....like wow

[@leaticia9386]

Thanks for uploading this!

[@angellesymone3239]

When he went to life round here, I came to life that's my song. My melancholy chillin' fall vibe.

[@sampletags]

one of my favorite performances. something about this moment in particular really resonated in the performance. it's absolutely lovely/hopeful and anxious/worried all at once.

[@TheSWH]

Definitely need more JJ in the next live. Y'all are the cutest! And your music is just BLISS.💛💛

[@paulagriffithpaulag2]

One of the Kings of music.

[@liammcdonald4766]

Thank you for sharing in these times. It means a lot to a lot of people.

[@CtoC95]

Its lockdown in sydney right now, im in my room lying down on my bed with the phone to my chest as this video is playing. Literally feel all the emotions as this video is singing to my heart I feel so calm and relaxed Thank you James you're a legend mate

This video is my safe space, and I come back from time to time 💖

[@Gem4t]

Gutted I missed this live. Wow your voice that soul is insane....... what’s needed. Loving this on rewinding mode. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇬🇧

[@ezekielduncan2261]

I am absolutely obsessed with this man. His music is just out of this world. It's so raw and personal. From his production to the vocals, engineering...ugh I cannot take it! Need to see dude live in concert!!

[@thatokubeka3285]

This was one of the few things that kept some of us from loosing our sh*t!. We were in hard lockdown in South Africa at the time. Thank you once more for an amazing offering…as usual

[@solaviento]

The little wave at the beginning! What a stunning talent.

[@MrNikkiNoo]

How lovely! Never heard of him before.

[@fionaesc8219]

I’m officially in a James Blake video ahah

[@anima6035]

[@mello_bear]

I was so sad because I'd missed this on IG. I'm so incredibly happy right now. Thank you for uploading this.

[@nefleli]

Αh.. so happy you uploaded this.. i am going to listen thousand times. So sad that the concert in utrecht is not happening :(

[@tomwesley1170]

Now imagine this with full stage production. I MUST SEE HIM LIVE

[@xochitllee24]

The colour in anything is how I feel after seeing this man in 2013 live. Nothing compares.

[@clemturnerfirst]

when he started “love me in whatever way,” i was immediately at ease

[@virginiwoolf]

All musicians should do this, because not all of us can make it to concerts. Thanks a lot 🍵☺️

[@ezra6094]

14:36 Best performance of I’ll come too I’ve ever heard

[@ladyspycom]

Mind blown. So beautiful and moving.

[@shan.s.6920]

So cute hearing him sing love songs while Jamila is there ❤️

[@kdmiranda]

So beautiful, so talented, what a voice. Love from Guatemala

[@marvusparvus]

all my love always and forever xxx

[@wdbreezy]

A simple thank you doesn’t seem enough for the peace this brings, but thank you James.

[@janbon123]

Thank you, thank you, thank you...you're a gift to life!

[@savatiger]

Crying

[@owsiaowsia5403]

No surprises - oh my! Mr Blake it was absolutely perfect, thank you. I can't think of anyone who's artistic esthetics fits Radiohead's music better, what makes you an ideal person to cover them. I love that, I beg for more!

[@EmNaj9]

UGH. Thank you for posting this on youtube. I was so sad I missed it. The radiohead cover is EVERYTHING

[@its_not_confusing]

mum thought i was crying because of being quarantined. rookie mistake
