James Arthur - Wolves (Acoustic Version at the Royal Albert Hall)

[@jamesarthur]

Hey guys, I'm so excited to bring you this stripped back, plus a little something extra that no one else has seen yet! This felt like such a special thing to make as we came out of the pandemic, and now I get to play at the same venue with a crowd on my tour on Wednesday. Thanks for being part of this, so grateful for your support always. Enjoy! JA x www.momenthouse.com/jamesarthur

[@jodyarnolds6399]

the accuracy!!!!

[@sohamchatterjee9915]

Ikr... This version has to be on Spotify

[@user-kp5vr3lk9e]

James is one of the artists where his voice is so unique I just wish he would strip down the production and the manipulation to his voice in his recorded songs. I think it takes away the beauty of many of his songs including this one

[@keyannahawthorne7764]

That is true

[@flaviajarmy]

Never tired of listening at acoustic versions of your songs. Your talent is infinite

[@gabixxz]

Yes ♥️

[@kennethowen2018]

Well said! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Have you listened to his train wreak acoustic?

This song… my daughter has been lost and running in such a fast life for so long and it’s like I can’t reach her… I wish she saw in herself all the greatness I see in her and believe she deserves so much more than she allows herself to have…wish I could just open her eyes and bring her home 💔😔

Pray. Just pray ❤️

Lyrics ❤️ You've been runnin' all around in circles Tryin' to find a purpose that you already had You've been actin' out a childhood trauma It was learnin' behaviour from your mom and dad If only you could open your eyes, open your eyes You've been cravin' all the validation from the people that you swore you'd never become All of the leeches and breaches and demons are givin' you Xanax and drinking your blood If only you could open your eyes and ask yourself why Why are you so afraid of my love Like you don't deserve this You know you do, you know you do 'Cause I've been there too Too busy howling at the moon Touching the wolves as they surround you Wish I could give your head a shake And bring you home with me tonight They tell you everything is cool But they don't give a damn about you So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone 'Cause you know darkness comes before the light No, no, no more killing time Or maybe you should spend less time with Mary Jane Jealously and Hennessy or Novocaine One too many hangers on the gravy train I feel like you're forgetting everything Everythin' about you, everythin' about me Everythin' about love, there's no love without trust Look what it's doin' to us I don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna change you But I don't wanna stand back and watch as they break you Wish you could see it like I see you, but you're Too busy howling at the moon Touching the wolves as they surround you Wish I could give your head a shake And bring you home with me tonight They tell you everything is cool But they don't give a damn about you So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone 'Cause you know darkness comes before the light No, no, no more killing time Too busy howling at the moon To see the wolves as they surround you Wish I could give your head a shake And bring you home with me tonight They tell you everything is cool But they don't give a damn about you So when you wake up and they're gone, you're not alone 'Cause you know darkness comes before the light No, no, no more killing time No more killing time No more killing time No more no more Darkness comes before the light No, no, no more killing time

[@scottmiller7865]

Isn't it "To see the wolves as they surround you" instead of "Touching the wolves as they surround you"?

[@EnEspritEtEnverite]

[@danielacantu4109]

@@scottmiller7865yes it’s to see the wolves not touching

[@angharadrees856]

This version of the song has brought me to tears. The words touched me and just reminded me of how insecure as a person I am, how I compare myself with others and find it hard to think that people like me when I don’t like myself. Wish I was care free and confident. This is why I love your songs, they show emotion and real life problems that everyone goes through. Beautiful ❤️

[@azizsamb4691]

[@rosa2869]

Same here. But I was once who I am before he came along.😌

[@clairejohnson7437]

Same xx

[@thecatlimitdoesnotexist]

If you like the message of this song, I HIGHLY recommend “Swimming” by Witt Lowry. He’s a different style but a really moving and powerful song nonetheless

[@ivanakeranovic6754]

Making music is your therapy and us listening to it is ours. Thank god we have you ❤

This guy is a LEGEND!!! The most beautiful performance ever 💖💖💖

[@rhodaleader6824]

Another heartfelt song by the LEGEND that is the extremely talented James Arthur 🌟

[@jameslaw7698]

His songs heals my soul and uplift me when everything seems weird to me, I love him

[@OneStopBeauty22]

It's a shame how this music industry works..James is such an underrated and unappreciated artist. One of the best voices there is and IMHO, ever has been. He truly is so freaking amazing and deserves all the success in the world!

[@loubot8333]

I totally agree with you

[@marcos7801]

The desperate cry in J. Arthur's voice makes me wanna cry. He sings with so much passion and pain.

[@0reas0n]

My dudes all songs are fantastic but the acoustic versions of them are dangereous, raw voice of him is way too precious and powerfull that im shaking with emotions whenever i listen to them... Jokes aside im glad i was born in a same timeline with him... hope to listen to his voice until the very last time.

[@miguelll8754]

This is absolutely my favorite version of this song. So intimate and raw. I hope he releases this version in the future. 🥺

[@siobhanmakeupartistry]

Gosh this is too beautiful "your too busy howling at the moon" reminds me of my baby girl 🐾 in heaven 🐶💕 xxxxx

[@beckyflower364]

You make me an emotional mess at the best of times but your acoustic versions are on another level 😭❤

I am 62 yo and love everything about this young man! His voice, his unique stage presence, his story, his courage, but most especially the man he has become. "I am very proud of you."

GIVE JAMES ARTHUR HIS BRIT AWARD 🥇!!!’ Best male best songs best songwriter!!!!!!!! He is phenomenal in every way an artist should be . Authentic. Magical and talented beyond the norm .

To hear and see you sing is a relief in my heart, thank you James Arthur 👑

[@lynngiles5336]

This performance is off the scale!! Phenomenal 👌🏻😲👏🏻❤️

[@carolinep3814]

How wonderful is the synergy between James' voice and each instrument. Every single acoustic version is so special, and he keeps surprising us every time 🥲 His talent and charisma are out of this world and so pure.

[@dirtbagpsn740]

It's a shame that more of his songs aren't on the radio in the US, he is the most slept on artist over here. But I am 100% supporting him and everything he makes. Thank you

[@abbiejadehall7273]

The acoustic version is almost way better, so emotional🥺🎸

[@mariekauhi9034]

I listen to the stripped back version daily. This song is phenomenal, as are you Mr. James Arthur. Much love to you❣

[@oceanbreezq]

He is perfect, his songs are perfect, his voice is perfect... 10/10 haha

[@mandydas680]

This man is exceptionally good! He’s the best at acoustic versions!

[@lizzyblox4735]

I think this is the most beautiful of all james’s songs so far. The lyrics are beautiful and as always his performance outshines everything around him. Does he write his own songs? I’ve noticed the lyrics are very deep and seem to come from way down inside of his soul. Just an altogether beautiful number and it wouldn’t surprise me if one day this number is used as a hollywood movie soundtrack. Thankyou james and thankyou for making your music so accessible to everyone. Hasn’t gone unnoticed.😎

[@kennethowen2018]

Yes, James writes all his songs. Amazing. ⭐️👏🏻

If I was to ever to feat with someone, this would be it james Arthur is incredible 🤗

Such - clever - words! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 If anyone understands the generation curse / childhood trauma / adverse affects / steps of healing etc… then you will FEEL this song and understand it with depth… 🙏🏼❤️‍🩹 He sings with such truth and deep passion, and he writes in such a tactile way. Adore and admire him SO very much 🤍🤍

[@xomery]

He starts to sing and translate me to the past, bring me grateful and painful memories! Thanks thats magical

[@maricascarles8648]

[@debbiequirke8990]

My god this is deep and so beautiful. How have I only just heard this 😮 and why aren’t the radio stations playing more of these songs, rather than a mix of the “same same” music. The emotion in your voice blows me away. I was just listening/watching one of your behind the scenes clips , you are so humble it seems and you really get fulfilment from your fans. A pleasure to see . Have a safe and wonderful Christmas 🎄😊

[@oceanbreezq]

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

[@christofferjohnsen4318]

James never disappoints us, u can’t disagree in that!

[@abbyiabbit3273]

His talent is very beautiful. Life gives him this finesse. He is extremely passionate about his career. Music 🎶is his calling.

[@ZUR_XX]

Your so good at singing!! Never give up, I've been a fan of your music for almost 10 years now, ever since your first x factor audition of your own version of the song Tulisa's young. You inspire me and so many other people so much! You truly are amazing. Never give up on your dreams! Whatever you believe, you can achieve. P.S you should get an award for #1 best singer 😊

[@melissamorris8687]

Right! Hands down that's the moment I became a fan for life. He blew me away abd it's silly but I moment I'll never forget. Love to hear that style again from him

[@B.likeaboss]

This song has never lost its flavour ...and this is the better version as james is live ❤️

[@rikjones5136]

James your talent is endless, I mean your emotions within every single song hits the deepest parts of my soul and opens up walls that I never thought would ever open again. Every single song you sing relates so so much, I was abandoned and out in the care system at age 6 no family. I left the care system at 16 and was told your a man now get on with it, I don't know how I had the strength to give life a real go but I did and now have 3 sons of my own and a beautiful wife of 21 years. Massive fan jqmea keep being you brother ❤❤.

When you know someone dealing with addiction this song is so beautiful.. Its that criminally underrated and unappreciated that's its a real travesty. You can really hear the pain in his voice. ❤

[@hannahgilmer4538]

I've really liked this song since the 1st time I heard but this version took it to the next level! Such emotion can be seen and heard. Love it!💖 James doesn't even need any music playing with him. A rarity! An artist who can just perform on their own and WOW us! Surprised he didn't get discovered sooner... The words straight from himself, It All Makes Sense in the End🎯

[@emilyjames3110]
