James - Ring The Bells

[@snakusyo1132]

I'm so glad The X-files introduced me to this song over 20 years ago. It's amazing when I think about it. For over twenty years I've been listening to a song that I heard in a TV show. The first time I heard this was (I think) 1999 when I was really young. It helped me through my teenage depression (I suffer from a mild case of autism). It helped me when I felt lost as a father. Through changes I had to make in life, like moving far away from my family and friends. Through getting a diagnose for a chronic disease. Through being cheated on and eventually through divorce. It was always hard for me to connect with my feelings, and especially of those around me. This song helped me in many ways. I owe so much to this one song, which is something I never thought I'd say. Thank you James for giving me something I can share with thousands of people for years to come.

[@MrRjnr]

Listen to Robert Plant's first few solo albums too

[@duskys3rdeye758]

My first time hearing the song a few moments ago , in the same exact x-files as you🤘🏽 Been getting hooked to the show for weeks now

[@johncantstop]

Same here! I heard this song in the X-Files episode about 20 years ago, and have loved it ever since. I think about that episode every time. This song really spoke to me about my beliefs and how I coped with trauma. It's amazing to know that there is a community of people connected in this weird niche way.

[@lisab9934]

Me too

[@kalleneumann203]

Same here, xFiles S3E3 🖖

[@horsegnootz4657]

I freaking love X files and this song!!! Thank you Mulder and Scully! The truth is out there! ❤

My dad brought me here 10 years ago. And now I hope I can bring my newborn son here.

[@7neilk13]

In 94 or 95 me, my three brothers and a group of friends went to see James do a warm up gig in Torquay before they played a huge show at Milton Keynes, that gig is still one of the, if not the greatest I ever had the pleasure to see.

They played in Darlington last weekend and this was the best song of the night for me. Tim still gets those high notes.

[@sentinela8775]

Haven’t heard this song in 20 years. Am crying like a baby. Wtf?? James: thanks for being there through the thick and thin. And a big thanks for existing.

[@sentinela8775]

@Bort awesome lyrics. I don’t drink, at all.

[@patrickryan5570]

I'm old now - but when I'm drunk - and this song comes on then I will dance like crazy - it's good to let yourself go crazy ever now and then...

[@joseb6454]

One of the best bands out of Manchester, love James, seven and laid best albums

[@memyselfandgod5550]

This song was the first for me, then listening to more of their works actually became a catalyst for me finding Jesus! God bless and much love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💚💚💚

[@steakismeat177]

This is actually not a Christian song. Actually the antithesis. It’s atheistic

[@Kababalax]

Needs a few billion likes this one!

My sister, a beautiful and pure individual, died last night in a fatal car accident. She said she wanted this song played at her funeral... Such a good choice Ali. I'll always love you

[@memyselfandgod5550]

This song couldn't be more perfect for everything happening right now. Most of us are going to feel like life as we now know it as a death, but we're actually going to be reborn (wake up)...we will be given what's been denied each and every one of us. Keep your hearts open and love your brothers and sisters...live every day with hope, faith and kindness in your hearts. Thank you James, for your amazing wisdom and the hope you've brought to me at least 💙💙💙 I love each and every one of you reading this 💙💙💙💖💖💖 xxx

[@memyselfandgod5550]

If you haven't heard it already, listen to one of his other songs "Getting away with it (all messed up)" This man is a legend 💙💙💙

[@MarletKouwenhoven]

One of the BEST songs EVER ❤❤❤

[@Therenegadeaussie]

Ring, ring the bells Wake the town Everyone is sleeping Shout at the crowd Wake them up This anger's deeper than sleep. Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me. Break, break the code Concentrate Let the doors swing open See through all your walls All your floors Now you're in deeper than sleep. Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me. When you let me fall Grew my own wings Now I'm as tall as the sky When you let me drown Grew gills and fins Now I'm as deep as the sea When you let me die My spirit's free There's nothing challenging me.

[@Therenegadeaussie]
