James - Moving On (Official Video)

[@lingregory763]

My son passed away January 24 2017 from metastasized esophageal cancer. He left this song for us to be found after he passed. Always so very thoughtful.

[@CosyLifeKits]

My darling daughter Jenny died of cancer in 2017, aged 19. She asked for this to be shown at her funeral. It breaks my heart. The added irony is that the business that she and I set up together is a yarn based business. The image of a mama trying to stop her child slipping away is so very beautifully depicted here x

[@aesthicgachashadow582]

I’m sorry for you lose..

[@johnforkan1492]

♥ With love and best wishes.

[@stanettiels7367]

amanda machin Heartbreaking. But take strength off of your daughter. She was obviously a clever young woman and understood the circle of life. RIP your daughter, and stay strong. ❤️❤️.

[@gaelleonard8830]

Im glad she chose to do that because the song and video will help so many others. You daughter is still with you. Always. ❤

[@nevdoel7008]

That’s so heart breaking yet beautiful ❤️

[@mariaberezhkova4995]

My mom showed me this last year. Then she was diagnosed with cancer and lost the battle. I'm 19. Now I found this video again and I just basically flooded my room with tears. Moving on is always hard.

[@mikethompson5549]

Sorry to hear of your sad loss... leave a little light on in your heart...

[@mariaberezhkova4995]

+Mike Thompson thank you for the kind words... I promise to stay strong :)

[@mikethompson5549]

Maria Karapetyan everyone lives on in their children! Keep smiling....

[@Pyraus]

I dread experiencing what you did. We all will have to. :(

[@jesseduran7586]

Maria Zakharova I'm sorry to hear that, Maria. Losing a parent is always the hardest. I feel like I'm going to feel like a lost soul when it's my mother's time.

[@edigoose3964]

A very touching video. The person who put this video together has a very beautiful heart and imagination.

[@mightyworker]

I'm crying over a bunch of strings for Christ's sake I'm such a sap right now. Reduced to a weeping softie.

[@isismaw]

[@digitalbookworm5678]

+mightyworker I've discovered that as I get older it happens more easily.😢

[@mikethompson5549]

+digitalbookworm5678 same here...not easy for a bloke from North of England..

[@palth9757]

me too

[@mariafrenchieperez9721]

same

[@markgaffney9574]

without doubt the most emotional video I have seen, clever beyond belief and an anthemic tune.

[@Augustusir]

you should check out Keaton Henson's Small Hands video.

[@sarahlouise4753]

I love how he was trying to keep her to stay, but she accepted her fate and got him to accept that she was moving on for the better. I haven't lost anyone personally other then a cat, but this video just connected and felt right. I cant explain it.

[@idontneedaname318]

Delilah Morris how do you anything of any of the genders/sexes presented in this?

[@yans9821]

My wife died of cancer at the age of 34, and this is exactly what happened. This is a wonderful video...

[@SayderCascading]

I cry every time I watch this so I can't watch it in public 😭 People need to check out the rest of this album. It was written right after the lead singer lost his mother and his best friend.

[@pushserver9689]

Thanks I will check it out.

[@HeartlessAngie1508]

I love this song, but from my ugly crying at work just now, it's obvious I can't watch this video in public places. Honestly, whoever made this is a pure genius. Thank you, kind human. I miss my sister.

[@pushserver9689]

Ha....when I forwarded this to my girlfriends I put a warning in my message....DO NOT WATCH THIS IN A PUBLIC SPACE :D I miss my sister too :{

[@rix5043]

My wife died 2 months ago. I hadnt seen this video in years but its been on my mind. I finally decided to watch it for the 1st time since she passed...it hurt more than i thought it would. And that kinda feels good....and yes, she died in my arms here at home in my bed. Fuck cancer.

[@Searley7]

So sorry for your loss man. This video hits me like a train every time.

[@penbailey9677]

i'm not crying you're cry- honestly we're both crying.

[@stellalagos3397]

Yeah...

[@jackstephan3911]

I'm so sad

[@monicalidiadragan8303]

Meja Soulfruit this music video is reminding me of my greater grandmother,who died before i was born...

[@lisagunter1114]

I lost my mum 2 days ago after being diagnosed with cancer 8 weeks before that, nothing makes sense so I'm turning to songs to say what I'm feeling x

[@AlliedAlly]

What a wonderfully distinct and precious depiction of life and death. I rarely see talent and meaning this raw, needless to say, it made me cry every time I watched.

[@rajo741]

This remains the greatest piece of video art to ever be associated with music. It’s heart wrenching for someone who felt his mother’s last breath leave her body. This work captures those moments.

[@benlea19]

The only band my brother listened to was James. This song was a fitting tribute at his funeral. Thank you James ❤️

[@herbieshine1312]

However many times I watch this I always end up crying buckets. I'm convinced that this time, THIS TIME it won't get me I won't break down this time. This time wasn't that time. It's a very obvious pull on our emotions but so fuffing beautiful. EVERY SINGLE TIME! I don't believe in rebirth connections like this but it's a beautiful idea and a beautiful video. Next time I won't cry!

[@annieward2715]

I hope you never stop crying when you hear this, it shows that you have a good soul. Blessed be 💜

[@ohwell87]

Every time I watch this, which I almost never can, Im taken straight back to when I lost my Dad last year. I was standing beside him when he passed on...

[@thequietfurnace7648]

Probably one of the best songs and videos ever made. Hugely profound, deep and yet, so full of hope. Kudos to James and the author behind the slow motion video. Thank you from my heart.

[@tia-louisetownshend9707]

The day my Nanna passed (30.12.14) I didn't know until later that night a friend was in the same hospital in the opposite ward giving birth. Two days later I was shown this video. It made me feel better about the whole thing. On the 30th, the first anniversary of her loss I was still really struggling. That same afternoon I received a text message telling me another beautiful baby was born. I'd like to believe they are both beautiful reminders to keep moving on.

[@sarahlouise4753]

Thats beautiful.

[@wongvunyu8461]

May she rest in peace, by Nebula, and Alex

[@pl2948]

Rip and that’s beautiful

[@spaghetticheerios5041]

I watched this video for the first time when i was really little and i remember sobbing and sobbing. My mum had to pick me up and just sit with me. I never really cried at this stiff but for some reason this really got me

[@bearyorange]

I heard this while on my flight to US. Moving on to a different country is no joke and takes a lot of emotional stress. This song made me a little better.

[@memyselfi5186]

The day I found out my friend died my mom showed me this video. I cried for hours, but I know he still lives, just not physically. This video really helped me with it. Thank you.

[@memyselfi5186]

-Bella

[@binker6379]

I watched this the night my grandpa passed away, 2 years ago. I still get upset when I watch it but back then it helped me feel a little content overtime.

[@xiospixishonk-labs6087]

I'm so glad I found this again-

[@Hawkman1116]

I can't stop watching this over and over...

[@Pyraus]

This video makes me cry every time I watch it. I try not to watch it TOO much because I don't want it to be so familiar that it doesn't have that effect anymore... but so far, still works.

[@ΑριάδνηΝόβακ]

the BEST music video I've seen in my long life. THANK YOU LOTS

[@HeartlessAngie1508]

i can't watch this without crying,like super ugly sobbing, I don't know why I'm coming back.

[@steadyed]

I am living this right now ... blubbing like a baby at 2.05 Don't think I will be able to watch this very much ...love Tim love James

[@JaneKellie-i9y]

James Is A True Music Genius. His Song Writing's and Video Coverage Touch On Reality. Timeless

[@andrewquinn9532]

James are the best band of the last 30+ years

[@rodemare]

The circle of life beautiful video! This made me cry!!

[@brendac7292]

Me lo compartió una de esas personas que por alguna razón debían llegar a tu vida pero no para quedarse. Cuanta razón tuvo, hasta hoy pude terminar de verlo. Es tan fuerte vivir la enfermedad de la persona que más amas, cuidarlo, acompañarlo, no ver mejoría y por más intentos que hagas, no poder cambiar el resultado. Aún siento que le fallé, era tan joven y lleno de vida, no puedo creer que un virus haya terminado con su vida. Este video representa a la literalidad lo que vivimos en nuestra recámara.

[@dondon8025]

I can't watch this without crying. Saw it recently after my grandpa died and i've mentally associated this somg with him ever since. I miss you Papa Boy. Sorry i didn't hug you as much as i could've.

[@MallikArjunVideos]

Thanks James.... I watch this when ever i'm down.

[@no-oneman.4140]

Has to be the most incredible music video ever produced. Every single frame has deep deep meaning. Must have taken months to put this together. Surely it won awards. Elvis would have adored this .

[@TheLeiferikson]

Criminally underrated band

[@jontask9997]

It doesn't get any better than this. Beautiful.

[@tz125r]

I love this band and this video is poignant and personal to me. I lost my mum to cancer and my sister to leukaemia, then lost my Dad who died of a broken heart. I miss them with all my heart. Listening to James let’s me feel the love again.

[@dawnhiles3]

How can something so heartbreaking yet uplifting!? Thank you so much for your inspiring music

[@brendanbroderick2991]

No matter how skillful and creative the knitter is eventually every creature and creation has to unravel.

[@Arsene1]

Just found this video after seeing James on Sky Art Sessions. Wow what a powerful video. I haven't been touched like this by a music video for a very long time if ever. Beautiful and Touching. And the song is great

[@locrytham]

My dad passed away exactly five years ago the day I first stumbled across this video and song on 7/19. I was floored. It reminded me so much of that last day, when he was rushed to the hospital with his life literally dripping out of him (GI bleed complications from pancreatic cancer) - they had given him a transfusion so I could take the first flight out to say goodbye one last time. I remember feeling so powerless, like the loved one in the video, as the last hours of his life unfurled, knowing there was nothing that could be done to stop him from bleeding out. The video's meditation on the interconnectedness of life and death is heartbreaking but beautiful - I don't believe in reincarnation in a literal sense - but it is comforting somehow to remember we are all a part of an unending and interwoven whole, the fibers of the fabric of existence.

[@sebizara3721]

I’m crying when I see this clip it’s just so emotional

[@barryphilp7459]

quite possibly the best james song ever. definitely the best song this decade

[@Bustergonad9649]

Always loved this time and video but my mum has just been diagnosed with cancer so it really connects. Love Tim, love James, love life , love living, hate cancer.💔

[@hy930807]

everytime i revisit this song, i immediately feel the heartache

[@SagadeGeminis79]

From Mexico City......GRANDIOSO ...PROFUNDO E IMPACTANTE.....THANKS JAMES.....

[@mikethompson5549]

James are simply amazing. Best song in years on first hearing. Album release coincides with daughter's birthday..great day ahead for all.concerned. Imagine a James & Morrissey Tour.. Heaven for a manchunuan.

[@4perf]

Incredibly, the flawless technique is just the icing on the cake.

[@andzmilne8087]

Love James ...and sooooo happy to hear that trumpet again ...bliss

[@xboxist]

Welp, every six months or so something compels me to dare to watch this again and every time I feel emboldened to do it without breaking down. I'll try again in six more months.

[@allanfarran364]

An amazing video showing the true emotion and pain of losing your mother❤

[@carlostbc]

Makes me cry every time!

[@markbutterworth2103]

this makes me cry everytime i watch it ..... beautiful song and video that meld so well

[@Leeuwtje1979]

Very emotional message

[@jasonmclean6751]

Im a bloke and havnt even lost a parent yet but omg this is the best way to describe what must have been such a heart breaking time BEST DEPICTION EVER thank you James

[@MsFishfish1]

Wow. Perfectly encapsulated. Reminds me of being by my Grandmas side as she passed away. She was my best friend and I miss her every day ❤

[@TheOmniveg]

Way to yank at our heartstrings!

[@jennifery2017]

I see what you did there...

[@glennmoore5645]

Awesome track from a band that has stood the test of time. Best live band I have seen.

[@GaryJamesCarroll]

Remember hearing this tune last year at the James gig in Birmingham. Top tune. Still producing such great material...this is why I love James!!!

[@erikkegelmann8312]

possibly the greatest video ever made next to jagged and bodies dancing in the streets. All kidding aside if you don't cry you're soulless. This song I want at my wake. it embodies so much death and life. James and Tim Booth have touched my soul for 30+ years. Please don't stop.

[@cloiewilson3096]

I'm so serious I think I watch this every year ever since this came out and every time I see it I can't stop crying it's so beautiful though😭😊😞

[@zzottt]

Well that video is enough to make me want to cry.... Brilliant

[@oraniaful]

an amazing peace of art! made me cry...

[@yueqing666]

I just cried my eyes out I have no words for how beautiful this is humanizing yarn this is another level

[@MONO-gg4jc]

数年前にテレビで見て感動したのを覚えています。 とてもいいお話で子供ながらに号泣しました。また見ることができて良かったです。

[@jeffpearson7919]

This makes me think of having to let go of my last love. The video was spot on.

[@amilcarhenrique8140]

WONDERFUL, MAGIC, IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD THE TEARS,...

[@rabnbeinn]

Gotta love James. Thank you Tim and Co

[@candiduvon]

Sometimes what seems like the simplest videos can have the biggest impact. The torture of watching this video through so many tears shows that you are brilliant and a beautiful soul. Thank you for creating this video ❤️💕

[@deboramonique2288]

Amazingggggggggggg. I love you Jamessssssssss

[@timm642]

James - - a band for people who still want to think. Amazing song and video.

[@zatoichidblind]

how does this not have 30 million views?

[@yai__x3]

Now it does

[@Nibb9]

James has sadly been ignored or underrated by most of people. Always. Huge mistake !!!

[@leisureacademy]

That just blew me away..... love it!

[@kaylietennant1930]

This video always makes me cry!!!

[@chloeallen40]

Absolutely amazing, Ainslie and the band are inspirations. Sounds beautiful as well on full volume in a car, so the best thing in the world when it comes on the radio since I don't have the CD yet. Hurry up 2nd june!

[@ADavisDED]

Love this song. So beautifully sad and hopeful.

[@bryansandiego]

Cannot wait to see you in San Diego!!!

[@smallfryjaz3091]

My best friend commited suicide a couple months ago. I found this video and it brought back a flood of memories. I just hope they are in a better place than what they survived in.

[@williamtrimble1984]

Wonderful video and song. Only someone with a heart of stone wouldn't shed a tear.

[@susanlutz309]

This Band, their songs, their lyrics....They have a song for every emotion I've been through. I feel fortunate that I saw them play last year here in Tucson, AZ.

[@gazzatorro]

Absolutely brilliant song and video by the best band in the world .

[@barryphilp7459]

after la petite mort and dare i say it possibly even better girl at the end of the world. i am so thankful one of my favourite bands ever reformed.cant wait to see what you come up with next.

[@annaanderson3]

Song is beautiful, video is beautiful, James is wonderful.

[@matthewcamanoakamongoose511]

This song messed me up! The finest artist and an exceptionally painful song! tear tear...... It literally came out days after the passing of my mother last November and Tim booths (James). Amazing video about death and letting go. Please watch!

Moving On, simply Moving, by far the best song/video combination this century, keep up the good work guys, hope The La Petite Mort album is as good

[@hebburncurly]
