My mum loved this song. I played this as her coffin drove to the cremation. Beautiful song.

[@LizaMohanty]

how can someone hum this gloriously!

[@thoyo]

hardly anyone has their phone out, just enjoying good vibes. love it

[@Wormz101]

This is how a crowd should look like. Full, responsive, no phones out, just vibing.

[@TiniBago]

I could listen to this on repeat all day.

[@shanicejoseph170]

If I didn't already LOVE this song, this live performance would have done it for me! James Blake is positively HYPNOTIC here...nothing less!

[@brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap]

Absolutely beautiful................ the song is pretty good too. :)

[@sovka8394]

i love like whole crowd is enjoying his music :)

[@aksheeta0]

2:16 Those lights. The smoke. That camera's angle. The blurriness.

[@Gman333Xferrari]

+Aksheeta Tyagi Art... rofl.

[@DAVE-ok9yy]

This gave me goosebumps.

[@accountwitnoname]

This is seriously good. One of the best performances i've viewed till now.

[@Jennifrlim]

this is essentially what makes me sad to have missed Glasto. glowing sunset and James Blake = epicness

[@jestinacooper3901]

I adore this song! This performance is stunning!!!!

[@Ultraviolencari]

goosebumps all over

[@Koshwaa]

I've only seen him the one time. O2 Academy in Oxford. I really wish i was there for this. Warm summer night in the open air with James Blake. Fucking gorgeous.

[@timoniksen9857]

Beautiful song, love this live version so much

[@infinitaki]

Pure class ! Respect !

[@BENCANTONA973]

Superb.

[@AngelineNgkittykat]

The reason why I believe in magic.

[@ronnieglitz]

This is everything!

[@Ogarcosechadel67]

Me encanta este mùsico con sus melodías lentas, cálidas y ensoñadoras, de Soul, Pop, electrónica + piano

[@AAwildeone]

WOW! Those lilting highs can only remind me of one other male singer - the Supreme Jeff Buckley! But this guy's entrancing and unavoidable in his own right! Can't believe I didn't even hear this till I watched the premiere of The Leftovers; Retrograde in the background, I just had to find out who belonged to this voice and music! Same thing struck me when I was almost asleep and heard Sam Smith on SNL. If they ever did a duet I might not sleep for a month!!!

[@menano182]

I love the comparison and I love them both, but Blake will never reach Buckley level. No one will!

[@JinkProject]

jeff buckley and just about every single black man living on this planet...

[@SH-op7el]

Best set at Glastonbury this year I reckon. But just listened again on the iplayer and no Hope She'll Be Happier. Real shame as it was v beautiful, hope I can find it somewhere else..

[@LauraLaurablablabla]

Waaaaaa ! Sí lo amo !

[@TB-lj9rt]

Biggest problem with Glasto this year (and probably most years) is they had too many conflicting artists that I wanted to see! I had to skip this for Black Keys, Chance the Rapper and Disclosure (this was at the other end of the site!), but this is one of my favourite songs to hear performed live. Nicely done, James.

[@fossil0000]

this is like playing exit music for a film in a club

[@sanyassin-k6b]

Unique

[@polettmaga]

love u

[@marvelandgroup]

🔥🔥🔥

[@elpopochas111]

Finnebassen made magic with this song.

[@hannes270258]

2:24

[@drtroyturner7464]

Is Sam Smith taking this style and running with it or am I seeing something that's not there?

[@torawysteria4372]

Nooooo, he can't, this is too good

[@jackfrost3759]

Did anyone else hear a girl say "I fucking love him?"

[@breakwoodhopper6739]

What time

[@RachelCaddy]

Man I would love to see him live again!! If anyone's interested in 'To the Last' and 'Fall Creek Boys Choir' I have covers on my channel. If not, happy James Blake listening :)

[@DJMGLL]

Only 480? :(

[@perearesendizrobertoyael2987]

\Im/ Yeah..!!!

[@franco6674]

damn am i the only one who went here because of Tales from the borderlands.

[@SNOCHILT]

He did a better version in the tent that year....

[@breakwoodhopper6739]

His voice kinda reminds me of Antony hegarty

[@Krispytheversatilegamer]

I thought this was San Smith when I first heard this lol

[@camcokas3864]

Way better than that dude tho

[@Krispytheversatilegamer]

+Cam Cokas yeah he is

[@thobilentaka2290]

ingcwenga!

[@night.cz7]

how to make something boring from something fun

[@Pupenhausen]

I was cringing a bit watching this. His voice was all over the place, this was brilliant on Jools Holland though.

[@AustinKorte]

It probably has something to do with the size of the venue. It seems like almost any artist has trouble playing larger venues vs. smaller ones. He was spot on when I saw him in Lawrence, KS.

[@Pupenhausen]

Atusin Krote Possibly just had an 'off day'. The same can't be said for London Grammar, her voice was unbelievable.

[@Armitage574]

omg whats wrong with the piano? thats the reason i dont pay money for concerts

[@bswift1991]

wat?
