Yep, no one can sing this like him. This is the fourth version I have listened to today, and I only want to cry when I hear James Blake sing his song... where's my doggone tissue...

[@ToneDaBass]

This a cappella version isn’t too shabby: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PbpnSJlL5paLc

[@dmi9800]

Every time I hear this I uncontrollably ugly cry...hate this song but I love it so much

[@pedromarte3953]

I listen to this song 100xs in a row

[@phattplanet1478]

+Pedro Marte Doing the same. This is incredibly good. Loving all that soooouuuul coming thru. That's some heart-felt sh@$ right there. Feelin' it.

[@rubenmartinez9807]

Me too my bro, this song is fucking amazing

[@Kree8Love84]

They played this in my yoga class when we were "winding down" and I loved it so much that I had to ask the instructor who this angelic soothing ass mystical creature was. Like I've read before about him, his voice is a mix between a unicorn and Jesus.

[@ukstevey]

ha!

[@elliefaith1740]

"We're alone now..." 😍😩

[@dr.edwardrichtofen2329]

Um. . not like that type of alone. Naughty.

[@liviasolewis17]

I saw him live and it was BEYOND AMAZING.

[@Bewkiss]

The first time I ever heard this song I was listening to this version on repeat during a 6 hour mushroom trip

[@rvuksonm]

offbeats.... piano with awesome composition, a simple deep, well trained voice... and chills everywhere

[@mykameakulpa]

his album is pure genius...plus hes super adorable

[@hellodolly2551]

First time listening to this in 2 years and holy shit it still gets me emotional.

[@reallyrox]

Firstly, this is the best version live of this song. Fucking pure that! And second, he should Definitley do a live album, of all his albums and eps. I'm serious that shit is way diffrent live I noticed. Especially on radio sessions it's brilliant.

[@rogermatts]

ya!

[@fargracingco.3135]

yea he for sure is great at free styling and ad libbing when playing live

[@JMB428]

one of the quiet greats of our time.

[@marshallbrooksmusic]

Did not expect that voice when I first saw him.

[@hayleyh7091]

After i heard this song ive been addicted to it its just so calming

[@shontavialrobinson]

This song is now a part of my recommended daily allowance

[@cokaina]

Tales from the borderlands, thank you for showing me this beautiful song

[@shabnamnag]

You're on your own In a world you've grown Few more years to go, Don't let the hurdle fall So be the girl you loved, Be the girl you loved I'll wait So show me why you're strong Ignore everybody else, We're alone now I'll wait So show me why you're strong Ignore everybody else, We're alone now Suddenly, I'm hit It's the starkness of the dawn And your friends are gone And your friends won't come So show me where you fit So show me where you fit I'll wait So show me why you're strong Ignore everybody else, We're alone now (we're alone now) (we're alone now) I'll wait (we're alone now) (We're alone now) (We're alone now) I'll wait (we're alone now) (we're alone now) (we're alone now) (we're alone now) (we're alone now) Suddenly, I'm hit It's the starkness of the dawn And your friends are gone And your friends won't come So show me where you fit So show me where you fit

[@AfterAFashionASMR]

The lyrics videos on this song drive me nuts they all have something different. Are these the official lyrics from James himself? Because I have listened to every version of this song now and the ones you have posted are the closest I can find but I swear he is saying “Is this darkness of the dawn” or “Is this darkness or the dawn” both of which would have very different meanings imo. I’ve seen a couple other places where they say “It’s the starkness of the dawn” which I guess could be but I swear I just don’t ever hear that. Idk I know it’s a small thing but it seems like an important line and it’s just been bugging me now lol

[@K3dzz]

@@AfterAFashionASMR He’s saying ‘is this darkness or the dawn’ the original comment is wrong lol. He actually wrote the song about when he was having a bad hangover and the anxiety he was feeling in the early dawn when you wake up

[@chbailey081]

It's so nice to see that talent really exists in this world.

[@724fireandice87]

Just heard this song for the first time last night while watching The Gabby Douglas Story & loved it
