james blake could open his mouth and just exhale with a low mumbling sound and i would buy it bc everything that comes out of his mouth is absolute music genius

Facts

[@spartacusxerox]

I'm not sure about others, but I found this song a lot more powerful live than on the album. On the album I didn't really get it, but now played live, it's a lot more powerful imo.

I can’t explain what happens to me while I’m listening 😭😩❤️

I don't want you to know I took it with me But when things are thrown away like they are daily Time passes in the constant state So if that is how it is I don't wanna be a star But a stone on the shore Long door, frame the wall When everything's overgrown But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along And I don't want you to know I took it with me But when things are thrown away like they are daily Time passes in the constant state So if that is how it is I don't wanna be a star But a stone on the shore Long door, frame the wall When everything's overgrown But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along And I don't want you to know I took it with me But when things are thrown away like they are daily Time passes in the constant state So if that is how it is I don't wanna be a star But a stone on the shore Long door, frame the wall When everything's overgrown But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along And I don't want you to know I took it with me But when things are thrown away like they are daily Time passes in the constant state Time passes in the constant state Time passes in the constant state Time passes in the constant state

Favorite part 3:16

[@NikNovaMusic]

Brilliant guy

[@inkaHS]

I just read his interview with the Guardian. It is said that he is the Beyonce and Kanye favourite artist

[@R0ddy111]

He actually helped write and produce songs for Beyonce's album Lemonade, James Blake is actually an amazing producer as well as an amazing singer.

[@Scorpio7500]

I'd hope so, considering he produced all his own tracks.

[@brendan8915]

The guy in the white shirt; what's he playing other than a guitar?

[@ZacariasARH]

+Brendan Conicella It's a stunning Moog Taurus. It's meant to be used with your feet but he doesn't care! :)

[@brendan8915]

+Zacarias Martins Ahh of course! Thank you! I've seen Chris Wolstenholme of Muse play one. Obviously thrown off by *white t-shirt*'s spin on it. Cheers man.

[@matiasaracri7753]

It's that a Roland octapad?

[@gastrofilia]

MMMMMMM

[@raccoonsalamander4646]

And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay

[Chorus]
So if that is how it is
I don’t wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
A lone doorframe in a wall
When everything’s overgrown
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along

[Verse]
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay

[Chorus]
So if that is how it is
I don’t wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
A lone doorframe in a wall
When everything’s overgrown
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along

Am i the only who thinks his voice sounds very alike with Sam Smith?

[@richardmurray6869]

+daniel lee bak siong AGREE

[@aneeshkapil8422]

+daniel lee bak siong His songs are more in depth. The notes & themes in his music is much more deeper than sam smiths.

[@pinkmazohyst]

+daniel lee bak siong Nah
