James - Sometimes (Live on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky)

[@ManCave1972]

So apart from the fact ‘Laid’ is one of the greatest albums ever made, and marks a vital milestone in my life, this song, this very song is one of the most sublime examples of songwriting and delivery one can imagine. Couple that with the fact James are the very very best example of how a band can exist for over 30 years without looking daft and maintaining absolute integrity and what you have, Ladies and Gentlemen, is among the greatest Bands these shores have ever gifted to the world.

[@soapy66stewart34]

Darth bossk absolutely perfectly put British music legends

[@pmayer65]

You put it perfectly, and better than I can ever hope to. Well said.

[@dopelyrics6223]

👏👏👏

[@richbryce5006]

Yes.

[@Pappa10001]

Well said 100% agree

[@charliemc1227]

2023 having a beer now old as s$&t listening to this magnificent music. Wow we had it great, let’s go all the 70s children.

[@craiganderson7381]

I’m a 80s child and appreciate this 🙌🙌

[@blackskunk54]

...and the 50s children, we love it too, not sometimes, but at all times, magical and relevant, thank you james,

[@richardhebden5603]

Have another one. We've earned it.

[@jasonmuhsmann5670]

We 70’s kids had it really good.

[@SpindlyScoundrel]

One of the greatest 'unknown' songs of all time

[@richardbaker3000]

If not the greatest!

[@aballinghoff]

srsly I just found it and it’s been on repeat

[@brettsambrook]

Tis one of the greatest. Truly magical. And timeless.

[@andreeopthof376]

Unknown?? When it came out in 1993 I knew this would be a classic masterpiece. And it still is!!

[@steveweisfeldt294]

@@andreeopthof376 It wasn't a commercial hit, I think that's what the OP means.

[@johnharvey2850]

My favourite band for 31 years. At times, my life's essence.

[@mickymcl8359]

"There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in The rain floods gutters and makes a great sound on concrete On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high, calling, "Come on thunder, come on thunder" this is story writing, when I listen to this I'm there, just magic.

[@yutehube4468]

There isn't anyone that doesn't love this band.

[@khalidhussein5346]

I'm not really a fan to be honest....i do love this track though I have to say.

[@icandysouthend2873]

Agree

[@marconewlandez]

That harmony at the end gives me goosebumps every time

[@timburdsey]

Wow! I wasn’t quite ready for the power of that harmony. Exquisite.

[@markhall6058]

I love the way Tim waits to join in the last chorus; he knows just how good it sounds.

[@werquantum]

Hallelujah!

[@martinpaul5232]

Amen it’s perfection

[@robertdegraw3551]

I've loved this song since the beginning!

[@chrissutter5798]

Bought this on CD back in 1993. This was my favorite song of the album.

[@allendewitt1]

I have tons of shows over the last 35 years. Honestly, James is THE BEST BAND I’ve ever seen. Professional, creative, exceptional lyrics, great voice. Songs that build in the most unique way. Timeless anthems. Always edgy. Great stuff.

[@brian10ant]

God, I miss the 90's.... Great music, great times......

[@stevegreen443]

The BEST decade ever.

[@tlbagnall]

One of the few bands that sound as good live as they do on record. Flawless performance

[@paulfcb74]

The best version that I've seen of this tune. Brilliant!

[@michaelmarshall9132]

Look for the royal Albert Hall. I think it was the orchestral tour . The audience participation at the end is breath taking

[@MARINOSSIOPIS-yq3zm]

probably the last GREAT BAND, and one of all time GREATESTS

[@elfacht1306]

sometimes you can reach your soul, you can touch your soul ... with music like this

[@lisalucania114]

The way this song heals my soul 🌙

[@geoffdixon9748]

They are better now than they ever have been...

[@stevew9369]

Chloe was probably like, what, maybe 10 when this song came out? Beautiful addition to the band.

[@julianlawrence-ball2279]

There was a period of my life when it was going shit shaped that I listened to James for months on end

[@timburdsey]

Music like this has that power to heal, doesn’t it, Julian. I hope everything’s OK now. x

[@julianlawrence-ball2279]

@@timburdsey it was a while ago but yes I’m cool now, thank you for asking that means a great deal

[@timburdsey]

@@julianlawrence-ball2279 That’s good to hear . You take care of yourself, OK? All the best. x

[@compostsmurf5519]

We're getting away with it all messed up

[@passionparade]

My musical highlight is this song in Vancouver at the Commadore Ballroom. That whole room lite up with the voices of everyone there. Being right there with Tim was amazing. Share your light! Cheers!

[@dalebarwick3264]

One of the things I love about James is their ability to tell stories by song, this being an excellent example.

[@nemo9248]

90s , the last great decade

[@belgrader6858]

agree

[@davidpowell8110]

Always been my favourite James song, live, it takes on a life of it's own.

[@jimmymac2265]

Perfect song , sat on the beach in barbados and this song has just reduced me to a small tear falling from my eye . James i thank you .

[@testu30]

I want this on my funeral.

[@beefsuprem0241]

Love this song and the fact Tim still chucks shapes to something he's performed 1000s of times.👏

[@plym1969]

39 years and still vibrant and energised. Magnificent

[@nelsonduarte6982]

1993 - Laid

[@jezlucas3878]

Timeless, brings,back so many memories

[@jackmiller1209]

🌼 I can’t hold back the tears when I sing this song.. there’s so much emotion in Tim’s voice..and the rest of the band are amazing as always!

[@MrC-ov1ht]

I can’t even get the words out it’s such an emotional song

[@colinwatt3958]

It's good to let your emotions run free especially when music is involved. Brilliant band

[@Jivolt]

Years ago, I was in a “cover” band and when we played this tune at shows, the crowd loved it even though 99% of them had never heard it before. There’s something about some songs that just resonate with the soul.

[@rezreaver]

one of the best bands live all day long

[@gabrielcernat1523]

Sarumana frumos Irlanda. Cu drag de piele de gaina sunt. Sa mai vi sa canti in Romania 🇷🇴. 📣 RESPECT

[@Aleakwe]

👑 legends. The best live and I still know all the words decades later to most of their songs

[@ulurusky]

Awesome performance, excellent musicians, a product of good quality, without autotune or other helping devices that only hide the real talent, like a good red wine, James only get better as time goes by.

[@murraymackay2612]

Say no more, absolutely brilliant

[@elliottmakin3884]

His voice is so rich and I feel alive from within when I hear it 👍🏽 love love love this ❤️

[@simonbrooks4745]

A great band, play as a team. The love shines through. And Tim is underrated as a front man.

[@Jimmy67Lisboa]

Nobody with taste underrates Tim. He is magnetic and magnificent.

[@stevecollier4741]
