The ending when he goes all out is fucking breathtaking man no other words to describe it

[@NAA4242]

Agreed. Love it.

[@purpledinosrawr]

If you ever have the chance to see him perform live, do it. I didn't have high expectations because I wasn't that familiar with his music. He is one of the best performers I have ever seen.

[@raspberry481]

Golden, golden, golden river run To the East then drop beneath the sun And as the moon lies low and overhead We're lost Burn slow, burning up the back wall Long roads, where the city meets the sky Most days, most days stay the sole same Please stay, for this fear it will not die If I had a boat, I would sail to you Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true Once I had a dream, it died long before Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore Down low, down amongst the thorn rows Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine Birds play, try to find their own way Soft clay, on your feet and under mine If I had a boat, I would sail to you Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true Once I had a dream, it died long before Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore Splitting at the seams Heaving at the brace Sheets all billowing Breaking of the day Sea is not my friend And everyone conspires Still I choose to swim Slip beneath the tide Once I had a dream Once I had a hope That was yesterday Not so long ago This is not the end This is just the world Such a foolish thing Such an honest girl If I had a boat, I would sail to you Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true Once I had a dream, it died long before Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

[@thepeaceguy1]

Wow This song always goes through my soul

[@lindafesta7043]

The voice of an angel!

[@jules1987a]

James Vincent McMorrow and Jacko Hooper, set for big things this year i think, so great to see so many great artists coming through,

[@thereynoldsranchable]

St JAMES Church? Brilliant! The way he weaves stories and sound is "haunting". They stay with you through the day and leave one with wonder. MORE James, bring us MORE!!!

[@DaytonSmiles]

This song explains exactly my situation I left and traveled over 2000 miles always just to get away from the one who stole and broke my heart.

[@junglebooksteve]

I feel your pain bro.

[@salis8607]

His voice is so smooth it's really relaxing

[@jeromevalexander]

i love that he sounds BETTER live! unfortunately, we can't say that about too many "artists" today. bravo dude. bravo!

[@Mu5icPr0ducer]

The ending never ceases to give me goosebumps and I’ve literally listened to this version hundreds of times. Love the buildup and climax.

Astonishingly brilliant

[@spike4music]

Best Description.

[@raspberry481]

Once I had a dream .. once I had a hope That was yesterday, not so long ago This is not the end . This is just the world..

[@mickinsaigon]

Well done Jimmy. I'll be home in September. I always spend a couple of days in Allihies, West Cork whenever i go home. But next time I'm gonna visit the Church of Saint James in Dingle for sure.

[@franciscomartins547]

Amazing version.

[@mariajoaofloxo]

love itttt... if I had a boat I would swim to you!!!

[@eahs07]

His voice is like a mix of Dallas Green and the singer of Matthew and the Atlas. Quite the combo.

[@nelmanarciso1595]

food for the soul.

[@OtherVoicesLive]

@DKP4 we have to agree.... this year he sings cover versions of songs he heard in previous series of Other Voices. His version of 'Blood Buzz, Ohio" is a particular favorite of mine...

[@KorahMKO]

This is talent.

[@S3aCa1mRa1n]

That guitar riff is so godly, haven't heard any like em. Anybody got a contender?

[@hollygolightly4b]

"Once, I had a dream - it died long before. Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore" If I had a boat, I'd take you wherever your pain would be replaced with happiness. If I had a boat...you'd be ok. I love you dad...

[@ann-zp9li]

[@MIUJACK]

Great voice. thanks

[@olysarah6093]

You don't need a boat when you've learned to float... On your own. Nothing but yourself, the moon and waiting for the warmth of the morning sun. Then the shore appears.

[@metalidolkey2416]

I'm really enjoying this artist! Breaking Dawn Pt.2 soundtrack brought me here:-)

What a shame that this video has so little views. :(

[@user-cv7ey6fb4c]

Is there a HIGH QUALITY audio version of this performance that can be purchased or downloaded somewhere? This is probably the best version to me. So many feelings when I hear this version. Any help is appreciated please and thanks you!

[@tatiannabenning9482]

Use clipconverter.cc... just copy and paste the youtube URL for this video and it will turn it into an .mp3 that you can download. Very safe and reliable, I've used it many times. Might not be extremely high quality but it will sound just like this video :)

[@user-cv7ey6fb4c]

Thanks
