James TW - When You Love Someone (Official Video)

[@rivergolbrock7100]

The words "somtimes two homes are better than one" hits me so hard

[@EbayNomad]

River Golbrock I Hate my moms house and love my dads I just got out of my counselors room and talked to him about it I showed him a note and he told me that if I ever hit that hard again to call him and he’ll pull the plug and I’ll go over to my dads house and if my mom doesn’t let him do that he taking me to the hospital. Life’s rough I’m also just starting high school and trying to get good grades. Update: My mom doesn’t want me spending a week at my dads and stuff is getting tense and my dad may be take it to court to let me do this I’ll make another update later once everything has happened Update 2: Can’t believe this got so many likes things are going good I’ve been getting good grades, I’m able to have restbit(breaks when I need them) at my moms house I’ve learned to stay in my room as much as possible and that usually reduces the drama and my relationship is better with my mom and there’s 50/50 custody now. I also just got a truck for $1000 and fixed it up and it’s now worth probably $3000. Life’s going a lot better thanks for all the support :) Update 3: Things went crazy. I’ve been df my dads for probably about a month now full time after my mom went psycho and when we didn’t come back she threatened to get her attorneys involved so we went ahead and filed a change of circumstances and are fighting to get to choose where we want to live. This stress is too much and I barely holding it together at home and in school. It’s got to the point where I don’t even study anymore and barely turn my assignments in on time. I’ll try and update after the court case

[@Chloe-ok1xm]

“Sometimes the best intentions just aren’t enough” damn that hit me hard

[@WealdsOfGold]

"somethings you can't tell your sister because she's still too young" Is the reason why I loved this song so dearly. I grew up in a really heavy household and being the eldest I didn't want to spread any of the stuff I found out because of their ages. So while they walked around thinking was okay I was being my mother's therapist and taking all of this in at the ages of 11-17.

[@siddhi9402]

Being an elder brother/ sister you have to bear with all of it and it hurts 😭

[@jesse3534]

Yeah I related to this too in the sense that when I would hear my parents argue I would make sure my little brother is fine and shut the door sometimes it would be really tough because nobody in my family really knew until they were about to get divorced and I tried to act like all was good all at 9/10 and feeling so bad for my mom hearing her cry and tryna comfort her was tough

[@kaikalter]

My younger sister is oblivious to all the problems in the world as well. Sometimes she doesn't understand that flaring up their arguments won't make the love return. Every time I tell her to stop she doesn't care. But she doesn't know. I have found out so much that just make everything cave in. I will hold it together until it can't be held anymore.

[@robin.nitwag9509]

It is a bit different for me since my parents never separated (but still thought about it and argued a lot. I am the youngest but my brother has autism so I kind of became the older one. He is now 21 and I am 20 and my parents are still together, also I am the only one they go to when they need to talk out since my brother doesn't understand. But when I need to talk it is too much. And the times we sat in the car and they argued I gave my brother my headphones so he didn't have to hear it all and he never wanted to take his cause he was afraid to lose them

[@LindaPerry_337]

​@kaikalter Speak to your school counsellor about your own feelings, for yourself. And then also ask them for the right way to tell your younger siblings what is going on. Once you speak to your younger siblings about your parents problems, you may find out they understand the situation better than you, and they were playing it cool for Your benefit! ❤🙋‍♀️

this song was written because when James was teaching music, he found out that a young 12 year old boys parents were getting divorced and he found out before the boy did and he needed a way to tell him without it sounding so bad so James wrote this song... found this out yesterday at the O2 - it's really touching.

first of all i found out about james yesterday night at a concert. He told us the story about how he wrote this song about his friend when his parents were getting divorced. and this song perfectly explains the situation and it has so much emotion, every time i listen to this is makes me tear up. second, his voice is so amazing, and every song he sings is filled with emotion and you can clearly tell he's not just writing for the money. Keep up the work james and i promise you that you will rise

The little sister line always gets me because I was that little sister, and my mom used to get really angry and my brother would take most of it, and even when she would pick a fight with me he would still step in and try and get her attention on something he did. He always tried to take the worst stuff and I can never seem to be able to express how much of an amazing brother he is but I would do anything to be able to pay him back and say thank you

My parents divorced around 8 years ago when I was around 4 maybe 6, and I understood everything that was going on. My one friend at school doesn't know how I handle going from one house to the other. I have been doing it for 8 years so its normal to me and my parents are friends now. So everything is good and I know I'm fortunate to have my parents that are divorced be friends because I know its not always like that.

[@nobodyisnotsomebody]

@@hollywelch5168 Yeah but would you rather be emotionly scared from seeing your parents fight every night? Kids may hate it, I didn't, but its less traumatic/ not at all trumatic as its like your living in two calm places and not one angry one. Edit: Its not that bad (for me). I've allways lived in 2 homes even when my parents were togher which to be honest, they were allways argueing because my mum is so antagonistic and starting something so all I've ever know is my parents argue hard core but others don't and I'm fine with it. I must be mentally broken or something to be so chill with all the yelling but at the end of the day, my mums a bitch. She stays with us at our dads even tough were 12 and 11 and they argue loads but its chill. Well, she starts something and my dad gets mad and she just continues. Shes allways picking on me and picking holes and yeah, I'm a bit problomatic, a little rude, sassy but its only cause she gets on my nerves and I put up with it for about a minute till I'm done and can't handle it. She allways slaps me and I try not to fight back but I just snap and need my self protection. She can't be thinking she can get away with it but I only put up with it as a, it doesn't hurt that much and b, I go to a really good school, its outstanding and world classed and its public and I ain't messin' up my future. Yeah, she does put 2 hands on my arm like she wants to break it and kick and pull my hair to physically move me as she allways yells for me to move and its like, no, why should I do what you want if your going to be so rude but why should I care about her oppinion, why should it hurt me knowing my bitchy mother abuses me, why does it even matter that she doesn't love me, that she doesn't treat me right cause I really don't care. See, it's even gotten to the point that I'm not bothered as I know other kids get worse even though us getting treated like this is hella wrong. Letting go was the best deciousn I made and I no longer care about much and its great. I put care into the things I want to put care into and none in to the things I don't want to. There proberly something meantally wrong with me and I am 99% sure I have anxeity well did as it started in 2019 September, start of high school. For the week, I cried at some point in the evening because of high school. Maybe it was worry for the stress or something, IDK, but then it went away and I had felt it came back like in April and then it was gone so I think I have it, just not 100% sure. Sometimes I worry I'm a phsycopath as I care about myself, alot, maybe more then other people but I wouldn't go hurt someone or kill them, I'm only 12. And even then, I like having 2 homes so not every kid is the same.

[@stormcloud2637]

I can agree but the lie is changing and turning into 2 homes arnt better then one

[@AC8X]

The thing that’s hard to remember is that it’s not a choice between the way things were and the way they are now. It’s a choice between staying together in one home with bitter, unhappy parents or splitting up into two healthier homes. You can’t force your parents to fall back in love or stay together.

"Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young" I was that little sister. I was 5 when my parents split. We moved to a different state and for that next 5 months or so, I would break into tears every single time my dad was brought up in a conversation. It was so difficult. I have no memory, whatsoever, of what happened. The only thing I remember is my mom just saying, "Daddy's not coming home with us" it was so, so, so, painful. Now I'm 12, and I see my dad twice a year. Christmas, and summer. Luckily, for my brother, his birthday is during summer so he gets to see our dad near his birthday. The last time I was with my dad on my birthday was, I think, 3rd grade. It's just so, so, so, damn painful.

My life is pretty flipping messed up. I’ve been in love but they didn’t like me back. His girlfriend got mad because he was hanging out with me and she told him. She broke up with him for another guy that’s just dating her to make my crush feel bad. He barely talks to me anymore because she said I influenced their breakup.

I didn’t know it at the time (8 years old) and some tough teenage years trying our best to understand followed, but looking back now it was still better than what life would have been had they stayed together.

[@margaretampotsarakou2373]

My mom and dad have always been a great couple and they've been so in love for many years, but lately they've been fighting almost every day, basically for nothing, and it's so heartbreaking. My mom is lowkey blamimg me and my sister for making them anxious, thus making them fight. She's also mostly ignoring their problems. My dad says that they've kinda fallen out of love and that he's going to move out in a couple of months or so. There's also my little sister, who I think doesn't fully understand the seriousness of the matter, mostly because they fight when she can't hear them and they act like nothing happened afterwards. I try not to let it influence me and not to interfere when they're fighting, but I can't help it sometimes. I usually don't cry at all, but even thinking about this whole thing makes me cry uncontrollably (I'm also crying right now lol). I just want them to stop fighting so much and be the way they were before. I love them both so much, so I try not to get angry at neither of them, but it's hard. Thank you so much for this, I haven't been able to tell anyone and I really needed that.

[@margaretampotsarakou2373]

My head hurts from crying too much lol

[@K_Crafts27]

@@margaretampotsarakou2373 That has too be hard, it really stinks when family members fight especially parents. If its okay with you I would like to pray for you and your family, First I would like to pray that you will be given the strength you need to get through this, and the love and comfort you will need for healing. Two that your family will stay strong and together and find peace with each other, and if your family ends up not staying together that your parents will not be sour toward you, your sister, or each other. I pray that God puts people in your life to help you through this time when you need friends by your side. If you can drive or have a park or a place you can go to hang out, outside of the house with your sister, it might be a good idea to go with her and hang out for awhile once or twice a week, that gives your parents time to figure things out without you guys in the house to hear the fighting. It sometimes helps to try to be on best behavior even though that can be hard especially when there is tension in the house, try to do extra work around the house and help your parents out, this helps them have more time to think. I really hope things work out with you and your family. I hope your still able to have a good week, and if you ever need to vent again I'm here to listen and pray for you if you need it. ❤‍🩹

[@justinleong3209]

Thanks for this song. I grew up in a broken home, my parents divorced right after my 1st birthday. I know some people that grew up with whole families only to have their parents split up when they were older. That sounds really hard to go through and in a way, I'm glad that I never had to deal with that kind of loss. Still, growing up without ever knowing what a whole family felt like was tough. I switched homes every single week for my entire life (to keep things fair for my parents, of course), so the "2 homes are better than one" line really hit home, because I never had one home. Every week, I was driven across town for the handoff, more than often they'd fight. I grew up with a weekly reminder of how much my parents hated each other. And no matter how much I wanted to ignore it, it hurt. When I was 15, my parents got into another intense custody battle and this time, I was brought into the conversation (great). I had to talk to lawyers on both sides, while being told by each of my parents to bad mouth the other. They hired psychologists to meet with me 2-3 times a week at the court's recommendation because they assumed that there could be something wrong with me while going through all of that. There was a lot wrong with me. Maybe not in a dangerous way, but in a really sad and hurtful way. I was really socially awkward, never had the chance to develop normal social skills, no one ever wanted to hang out with me and I didn't blame them. I remember eating my lunches in a dark hallway alone for most of high school. Even if the other kids found me mildly interesting, I didn't have time to be around anyone else since I was completely occupied with meetings with lawyers and psychologists. I never felt like I had a home. I'm still young (24 now) but I've healed a lot since then. Still, a part of me will always wish that I had some kind of normal childhood. There's a light at the end of my story. I was able to take that sadness and committed myself to a dream of making sure that my future kids NEVER have to go through anything like that. They're going to grow up in a loving home without a care in the world. That's what I tell myself when I'm reminded of the past. I've let that pain really fuel me to make the most of my life. Fast forward to the present day, I started my own small business that was funded on Kickstarter (didn't make a lot of money, don't worry, I'm not rich, haha), landed my dream job working for Google, and now I'm pouring myself into a new web comic (I used to draw a lot of silly comics on pieces of paper to cheer myself up when I didn't have anyone else to talk to as a kid, so this is very much a childhood dream come true). I just ended my 2nd long-term relationship, and it's hard to imagine building that family when I haven't met the right match yet, but I know things will fall into place when they're meant to, I just have to be ready. I don't know if anyone will read this, but it feels good to get my story out there. This song really opened that up for me, so thank you. Who knows, maybe someone's going through what I did, or maybe something even worse. I wished someone out there would have told me that things would turn around as long as I had a positive outlook on life, even when it seemed impossible to at the moment. Maybe this will reach one person like me, maybe it'll help in some way. The pain doesn't go away, but "it gets better", is what I'd say to my old self hiding from my parents in the pantry closet.

You don’t steal! The act of forgiveness you’re quick to pass around, will manifest into the Ultimate Freedom which you’ll get the feel of only Once! I’m Stay legit and decent and all that goes with it!” “Keep your promises!” Be Classy!” Embrace this mantra “Don’t Worry Be Happy! “You are whoever you choose to be!” “Be Kind!” “Be Lucky!” ...and a all that type of stuff. Information starting-to be used in ITT and is valued far-stronger from big wigs than money and will remain #1 valued commodity (already voted #1 commodity to be endured for a really long time from today by every person!). “It’s an opportunity that everyone needs more than anything else I can think of.” towards quality of a person’s life (ahh, that time is up to our Lord, imo) and more valuable than money accrued (and don’t share it on the internet if you’ve the slightest hesitation - or if you’ve thought about the near and/or not-near future in any type way!) - and when any average-sized brain person is privy to basic family history (for us: specific to JT’s childhood and on up until...current) the obvious ‘thoughts’ and ‘armchair diagnosis’ (without any knowledge of ‘patient’ whatsoever; it’s going to become where everyone recognizes a father’s abuse/neglect of his son -which was the only gender thought about for today’s purpose; sorry-and the aftermath which is unbearable (sans professional help): I’ve heard of 2 young men who admitted the following; 1 who always felt his was 100% ‘unrepairable’ because he didn’t have any ability to feel; as much as he told himself to ‘feel something!’ or try to process anything remotely Emotional (when he learned the definition of ‘Emotions’) in order to force him to ‘feel’ what other human beings experience automatically, effortlessly; certainly without much effort. And re those really bad, and absent fathers; turns out they’re motivated by their own •narcissism and... •selfishness •greed •manipulation (doctor said if he’s not manipulating anyone then he’s not having any fun. And it’s all about that kind of fun for him.) •excess •NO conscience; nothing he does wrong bothers him unless he got caught at something (which he’ll deny to the ends) - and if it’s like that, he’ll be very angry and childish until he gets his revenge •shrewd •controlling and so much more other unpleasant traits He was always up to shenanigans! That makes it sound cute; but his tyranny and abuse was anything but! One day, the young man found a therapist that met his style and sensibility. Through guidance from his therapist, and applying himself with the techniques he’s still learning, he knows he’s making progress. He did stress that as painful it was to be abandoned by his father as an infant and for what were the ensuing 23 years; the highly concentrated pain he felt as he learned to process areas of his past that affected him so badly, and how he learned to come out the other side of this therapy either healed or healing; and beginning to feel his emotions, that he so deserved. His goal is to gain wisdom; I know he already has!

me too... although I've been going through it for 4 years now. i can't even see my grandparents and one is REALLY sick. this probably won't be your fate. this song put in tears. although my parents never fought till now cause my mum was "submissive". my dad's getting married in a couple weeks and i haven't seen my dad in a year. although i chose that, its like i don't exist to him. my sister has no choice bc she isn't old enough to be independent. what im trying to say is, i agree. and Divorce SUCKS. hope you have a nice week. ;o; (me on the inside)

[@dvdmenusupremacy1878]

My dad left when I was two and it was just me and my mom till I turned eight and she got married to my stepdad that's abusive and I don't know why my mom stays with him it's just all a mess and I still don't manage to cry and it feels like I should be, AM I A ROBOT LOL, but this is serious I don't see how I can make a joke out of something and maybe I do cry because I'm just used to all this I don't know

[@angelapenton867]

"Some things you can't tell your sister cuz she's still too young" the beauty in this lyric, I 've lived this and now my beautiful son has too because we always want to protect the ones we love.

[@victorybynikki3516]

One of the most beautiful songs I know ...

[@stateftwmusic]

I listened to this song on Spotify, I surprisingly had a few tears, but the music video was just, emotional. As a victim of being a child of divorce, this just broke me down. “Sometimes moms, ‘n dads, fall out of love. Sometimes two, homes, are better than one. Some things you can’t tell sister ‘cause she’s still to young, yeah you’ll understand.” *WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE!*

This song helped me a lot when I was going through the divorce of my parents. I agree, two homes can be better than one. In my case it meant a lot more peace and not having to solve that much fights anymore. To anyone reading this and going through a though time, a virtual hug from me, know that it will get easier. Stay strong but let your feelings out, if you don't have a person you can trust to talk to, feel free to talk in this comment section. Together we help eachother get through this 💕 lots of love

Before today I have never heard of James I heard this song on my Spotify and started crying this is an incredible song

[@joeberry8111]

Only here from Spotify

[@laneeliz]

it’s so depressing that divorce is common enough for it to be “normal” and the fact that people treat it like it’s no big deal makes me so sad

[@Alex-jg2bc]

There's nothing wrong with divorce and if you're divorcing for the right reasons and you really tried, there is nothing wrong with it. Some people just don't work out no matter how hard they try and it is best for everyone involved

[@kyliepowers4688]

Yeah that is so true but it sucks for the kids because it always works out for the parents but breaks the kids when they don't deserve any of it and what sucks even worse is when the kids ask when will I see you again and the mom or dad says idk or when they make you say good bye it sucks and when we put out or Zelda down and blame out self for it all it really sucks and I can't no more

[@lifewithkat940]

But this thing is this: sometimes splitting up is the best thing for two people, especially when kids are involved. Would you want your parents stuck together and unhappy with their lives for the sake of appearances? It can hurt, and it does for a lot of people, but sometimes it's the best thing for everyone involved in the long run.

[@kyliepowers4688]

@@lifewithkat940 my parents did not fight they just decited that i was not purfect and that it was to much to take on so they sepperated and now hate each other and i can not talk or see her like they said i could

[@groggersk2909]

Our marriage ended when our twins were 3. They were so young they don't remember any of the bad times. Despite how we felt about each other and how hard it was to go through those times, we did our best to keep things as even and balanced for the kids. The kids are now nearly 17 and have a good relationship with their dad and me and get on well with his new wife and step sisters. It took a long time to get here but we are all on good terms. All is not lost and no regrets. Perhaps there would have been a lot, if we stayed together.

Some aspects of his tone remind me of Chris Martin, but I hear Ed Sheeran and James Bay as well. Love this guy's writing capability. Really dope

As a child this hits home so hard. As a parent going thru a separation with children this makes me weep.

[@MechelleEileene]

I really didn’t want this for my kids but I feel it comming. And I can’t help but cry

[@crismendes5100]

The first time I heard this song I fell in love with it, but after I found out the reason James wrote it made me love it even more. He was teaching drums to a kid who his parents where getting divorced without him or his sister knowing. So James decided to make a song for him to listen to make him feel better about the situation that was going on with his family. All my respect for this guy❤️

[@anaisguess3684]

Literally the best song ever , this story really hurt, I cry so much every time that I heard it

[@miyasato7370]

The amount of times I’ve cried over this song

[@vorada6152]

I can't stop crying after listening to your song. I was so sad even if I don't have anything related to the song. You nailed it, James!
