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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@tlbagnall]

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

[@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.

[@elfacht1306]

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

[@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.

[@nemo9248]

90s , the last great decade

[@belgrader6858]

agree

[@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!

[@geoffdixon9748]

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

[@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

[@philallen3190]

You don't hear this song, you see it..

[@plym1969]

39 years and still vibrant and energised. Magnificent

[@stevew9369]

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

[@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

[@dalebarwick3264]

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

[@davidpowell8110]

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

[@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

Remember them doing a free set over Piccadilly Gardens when 261 Piccadilly Radio were based in the Piccadily Plaza building. Liked them then and liked them ever since.
