He's absolutely INCREDIBLE. One of the most talented artists in our generation.

[@josipa3896]

And most underrated.

We don't look for old songs, we look for the memories they carry

[@monicalotti5648]

Beautiful songs will be beautiful forever

[@OGBZRK]

I feel as if you are always able to get more emotions across in an acoustic performance rather than in a studio version. Absolutely stunning. One of the best artists of this generation.

[@nigelcheong6916]

oh but he can't one of the best if he's the best ;)

[@OGBZRK]

blurpz yolt Nah not really. He's good though.

[@LApassion1984]

@@OGBZRK Not really? :)) dude...I am not claiming either that he might be the best, but "he's good, though" is paying him way too little recognition for his music. He's one of the most talented/gifted artists of this generation, alongside Paolo Nutini, Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi - only to name a few. So, imo you're either trolling or provoking - or both :))

[@ashia7871]

jonice bernard Yeah, you're right! :)

[@Rugbyworldcupfan]

I agree..I love acoustic music

[@HarryPotter-so5rq]

I don't think I've ever liked studio/album recordings over the acoustic versions, but I actually prefer the album version of this song and it's probably in my top 5 fav songs of all time. I like the big bang a complete band brings to the bridge, and especially the e.guitar's mix was so perfect for me; I could hear and appreciate every detail down to the smallest sounds. It's just my preference.

[@demimauro2654]

You're setting off, It's time to go, the engine's running My mind is lost, We always knew this day was coming And now it's more frightening than it's ever gonna be We grow apart, I watch you on the red horizon Your lion's heart Will protect you under stormy skies And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears And as soon as I can hold you once again I won't let go of you, I swear We lived through scars this time But I've made up my mind We can't leave us behind anymore Your hands are cold, Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking This fragile heart, So heavy in my chest, it's breaking And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me But you're miles away, You're breaking up, you're on your own It's hard to take, I need an hour just to say hello But I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me And for all the pennies in your pocket We barely get a second just to speak We lived through scars this time But I've made up my mind We can't leave us behind anymore We'll have to hurt for now But next time there's no doubt 'Cause I can't go without you anymore Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Yeah yeah We lived through scars this time But I've made up my mind No, we can't leave us behind anymore We'll have to hurt for now But next time, there's no doubt 'Cause I can't go without you anymore No I can't go without you anymore

[@lindseyilsley8362]

James Bay addresses the complexities of relationships. So many songs are black and white desire and ending. He speaks to the true lovers, those who commit to the barren spaces between desire and longing, the ones who can't and won't let go, who love on. Good for him. We need intelligent song writing, scribes of the heart. These personal creations stir my soul, we need them. Am so glad he's at the top and winning. Gorgeous song :-)

[@euridiceferreira4458]

It should be mandatory that they state their reason before they give a dislike. Because I don't think there's a valid reason to dislike this video, nor this artist.

[@juliamariagonzalezcruz1915]

I listen to this every day because I like it more than the actual album version

[@jaytaylor6081]

Its because you can hear the guitar better, the place he's performing at has great acoustics so the acoustic guitar reverbrates off the surroundings along with his voice. I agree with you 100%

[@ellenmercier4987]

Every once and awhile an artist comes along that just blows the others out of the water....this is one of those artists.

Im listening to James Bay nonstop now it’s 2am. Im crying over my almost 10years broken relationship that ended last sunday.

You’ll get through this, you’ll get through the pain and the tears. Always remember that. You will find the strength in yourself. Lots of love from a stranger on the other side of the planet 🌸

[@mihaelanegritu1709]

It must be tough.I know how it is , my relationship lasted way more than yours.From what i heard, plus my experience, the grieve lasts about a year.After that, it's less intense.And if you're lucky enough, to meet someone while this time, it only, would be better.You can cry, it's a part of the healing.
