James - Destiny Calling

[@Luwoo82]

I was 15 when this came out. Me and a lad in my form called Adam used to always sing it to each other and say it was our song. He even wrote the words in my yearbook when we left school. I was so oblivious to the fact he liked me 💔 sorry Adam, I always think of you now when I hear this song.

[@salahad-din4114]

We all had those odd misses we wish we had noticed at the time

[@ediann]

The band is in another stratosphere as far as music goes! A British 🇬🇧 band with charisma, charm, talent and awesome music! I love them! I’d give any money to see them in concert live! Love them! I have their best of James album and listen to it regularly ❤️🙏

[@jackmcgregor1983]

Seen them live a bunch of times. They never disappoint. I must admit I prefer to see them in a smaller to mid sized venue. Their whole style and music doesn’t sound so great in an arena. I grew up with James. I bought ‘how was it for you’ on its first release and immediately knew they were special.

Honesty, this for me is the best band of the 90s. I’m not from the 90s but I just feel like they’re music describes the music from the 90s perfectly! I can’t believe that nobody at my school knows this band smh and they say that they love the 90s. James is forever x

[@Ptinski]

InokertyRocks Absolutely, and our loss here in USA, Inc. Tim Booth and the guys weren't received well because most of this land wouldn't know decent music and poetry if you threw it up their arses. I'm embarrassed by what they shove out there and call "music". Luckily I was born just in time to experience the 60s.

Bit of a strange coincidence this was released during the height of Spice Girl Power. A plate with Booth's picture on it? That's either a very profound statement, or just ridiculous. He's not a consumable product, but he is. Just don't tell Damien Hirst.

[@jackjude]

Its rather transparent, it's clearly the former

[@nealorr5086]

I don't get why it's strange when it has a lyric referencing the Spice Girls... unless there's a posh and black James members I'm not aware of.
