When I saw him live, the audience had to be dead quiet so he could lay the first track...someone coughed and everyone laughed. He did it over again...amazing

[@tovmusic]

The precision on that guitar picking is amazing

[@sixdinnersid6473]

It is insane!

[@jordiclaes5031]

@@sixdinnersid6473 technically very strong and thats very necessary since it was a programmed arpeggio in the original track, but i feel like it lacks depth with the guitar

[@dovike.V.]

The original song by his dad is also amazing. Where To Turn - James Litherland

[@LilWayneIndustry]

You could feel every emotion he is pouring out , what a beautiful song

[@IamtheWV17]

The thing about these guys... is the almost recording quality of the live act... that is some professional musicianship right there!!

[@SethHarcrowmusic]

That haunting voice... honest with the most individualistic tone.

[@h0tallover]

this song has so much complexity and depth .. its a piece of art . can`t ever get enough of this...

[@katie52255]

This song, particularly this performance of it, is getting me through a very tough time right now. Very grateful this exists.

[@colinthedogfromspaced9365]

I downloaded this 3 years ago, I'm in the car half asleep this comes on, forgot how great.

[@emilyfreeman2940]

[@jamesmurphy-walsh8966]

[@LBCLE_Productions]

[@calebpattymelt9906]

Tuning in from Shelby Township. Found this on my grandson’s laptop along with some other interesting things. Keep up the good work James!👍

[@PeterJamesMoments]

This is the absolute best. This version is the one. So powerfull. Its says everything you need to it to say. The intense and drowning synths make sense of it more than any other version. OMG so good!!!

[@ceccawarpedmusic]

i am obsessed with this track, must be the 56th time i am playing time in 2 days now. This is just mental

[@backfootgrinder]

the top note on the guitar sounds like an alarm going off if you focus on it enough

[@Immadisonmurray]

He's so underrated!!!

[@jenniferlym9652]

I think this song changed electronic music, made it mainstream in a way that didn't exist before. Breathtaking.

[@koi5488]

Look at that jaw Line. 😍 literally so handsome

[@vanollsum]

❤

[@emajej_]

how can he sing like that who allowed him to do that?

[@BangsChansDimples]

it's positively criminal

[@Breckybre]

He don't need to ask, he just do.

[@hermangonzalez9654]

i hate this guy he gives like 1% effort but sounds 99% better than everyone else ugh im jelly

[@GertjanDecock]

cuz he's genius

[@BigAL_Visuals]

Understand he originally recorded this hole song in his bedroom one instrument at a time and he has people with him, as he only has one set of hands. His musical composition is incredible and he is an amazing singer song writer

[@gonzalo7828]

That's because live performances are 1% of the times they have played this song.

[@YREHCorp]

not really, he mentioned being really tired from writing Overgrown for example. i'm sure he works A LOT

[@peanutbutterrobot]

1% effort? you mean he makes it look effortless

[@YvonneSain]

😭😭😭😭

[@DjManuSalazar]

debo ser el unico que le guste su musica en Chile XD

[@karachay9383]

[@elioquintanillagrandez1807]

Karachay qué?

[@saradrodrigues]

Cool...

[@Urbeflurb93]

Does anybody know how you can get the soundscape-y kinda sound that starts at 02:53?

[@azasmich]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MariaEduardaOliveira-wh3le]

Vim por causa do Damiano

[@kednasilva9775]

Duas

[@4308stal]

3:13

[@sexysax92]

marry me James!!!!!

[@joshuabesharat]

WaywardVerve its because they use a synth and an electrical instrument with prerecorded/created sounds.

[@joshuabesharat]

its controlled by a peice on the floor with many pedals that start and stop particular loops, effects, background vocals etc.

[@shaneo33t]

He defiantly sounds black. Real soulful

[@SUPERxDARIO]

Tom Misch's rendition is pretty good too

[@tiffanys1463]

Tom Misch is what brought me here.

[@sashapatriice]

audio honey

[@nurulafifah96]

Is that his brother beside him? Look alike :D

[@BangsChansDimples]

he's an only child ;)

[@albertochavez4494]

[@TheMickaelD]

The only thing missing in this video is the cheering crowd at the end...

[@UDrewHendersonU]

Pretty sure he covered this song. Regardless, it's still awesome.

[@tiagodacunha_]

+Drew Henderson +jellothere Yep, that's a cover from his father.

[@RohanBahadur]

Where to turn by James Litherland

[@camouflagedgoon7987]

it's a cover of his father's song actually

[@bgola]

try with some (lots of) reverb, 0 dry, 100 wet

[@shayeasy]

my ears are fine, m8 watch?v=hpiIWMWWVco

[@shayeasy]

i like this track but wish he sounded less like kermit the frog

[@nicknoh]

One of the worst songs I've heard in my life.

[@ederude]

Lmao stop smoking crack

[@AAwildeone]

NOPE!!! He is not Jeff Buckley channeling Nina Simone...SORRY unless it's done RIGHT, it should NOT be done!

[@SwampyWilkinson]

this is so lame
