[@jm123mj]

Spring it came upon us, Every insect filled the air Dropped their wings upon my brother, Cast their shadows on his hair If we follow where they're leading, We will surely come before Some unseen and wondrous magic Made of visions to explore Near the town where we were living Lay an old abandoned farm Every year we'd plant an orchid In the shelter of its arm To protect us from the madness Of the future still to come It will be like this forever It will keep us safe from harm Then they caught us in the summer Dressed in father's finest clothes You the hat he wore to market I the jacket filled with holes I've been searching all these hours For a hand as pale as bone That would keep the strongest sunlight And reflect the brightest stone Near the town where we were living Was a warm and fragrant smell Of that orchid we had planted Now a forest tall and well What a statue to our greatness What a story all will tell They'll remember us forever They'll remember where we fell This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders Pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter But still in the road, the traffic is silent The people they stare, and then they turn violent If they should touch, the hem of your dress I would rise like a lion, strike out again The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait By the sign Near the town where we were living Came a loud and joyous sound As the earth and all her beauty Picked us up from off the ground Carried far across the mountain To a kingdom never bound We will live like this forever I will love you I will love you

This is my favourite song on the album, paints pictures with his words.

[@rhiannongould2228]

How have I only just found this fantastic artist??!! Absolutely amazing:D

[@Pausey]

I’ve known about this song for a long time now, and I still sing to myself the words “I will love you... I will love you... I will love you” and it makes me have hope.

[@Uncharted2]

I've heard tis over 500 times. The beautiful thing is that its not even exaggeration.

This entire album is beyond good. Truly awesome.

He's the most unrecognised Irish artist right now but he's the future!! goin to see him next week cant wait!! McMorrowMania

[@Papatoothwort]

Just casually listening to a few artists that my last.fm account suggested to me... I went through a few and thought "hmm, this is nice, kinda chilled" and kept going. Searched this guy, 5 seconds in and I have goosebumps.

[@edwardlaing4473]

crazy how this isnt bigger. such a good feel tune. pure :)

[@anmuydarp]

things happen everyday and people drift in and drift out, but in truth everyone's just waiting to find something like this

[@ArianSani]

DING DING DING! We have a winner!

[@stuartrowe9345]

used to listen to this song when i was at work in 2010!!!! still a beautiful piece of music from a beautiful voice!

[@spydervr]

[@cristian.ilie.018]

That backing-vocal !!!!!

[@lenny820]

Absolutely brilliant..Thank fuck theres still good artists out there I thought I was going to have to put up with computerized voices for the rest of me days....

[@jodz75]

Dont you just love when you accidentally stumble across a beautiful gem of an artist such as James Vincent McMorrow whilst searching for something completely different??!! WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!! Take a guess who is about to go on a little iTunes shopping spree???!!!

[@mcclellandt]

Music has existed for so long its almost impossible to make a song that doesnt sound kind of similar to something else. Everyone that's calling this unoriginal needs to just shut up and enjoy this amazingly beautiful song.

[@DollSteakFrenchie]

I love how this year if your name begins with 'Jam' you'll do just fine- see James Vincent McMorrow, James Blake, and Jamie Woon. All soulful, all exceptionally talented, all should get the recognition they deserve.

[@DaTim444]

Heard this a couple times on radio paradise. It's a pretty nice one

[@SnoopReddogg]

I first heard this in 2011 streaming on Phantom FM when I was working in Pakistan. Moved back to Oz and no one had a clue what I was listening to.

[@LiveLifeAsADreamer]

i am a sucker for this song. :D amazing pure voice. its nice to know there are some people out there who are singers and have ACTUAL talent.

[@LasVegasandEngland]

i can't believe this video has been around since the beginning of 2011 and i've only just found it.

[@euroobaby]

Such a good song. I want to live inside of it.

[@oscaa11]

this could be HUGE

[@GETALLTHEBOYZZ]

I don't know how this got to be so beautiful

[@WilsonSemilio]

Childhood memories I think...

[@georgiaaustin]

can't stop playing this, mcmorrow is a genius

[@Almondie7]

This video fits this song so very well. It takes me to another place each time I watch it.

[@um5548]

Spirit of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young lives. Beautiful song.

[@ColorsOfTheRainbowM]

this music.... absolutely gorgeous.

[@chrisfo9846]

he is really good first saw him at Cambridge folk Festival in 2011 /Now his got real tight group of people with him .Saw him last night at the Brighton Dome if you get to see him LIVE it is special such a modest man too

[@RUNNING91100]

wish I had discovered this artist so much sooner!

[@ruushii147]

Who the hell disliked this?? I've been listening to him all day and I am far from tired of it. I cant wait to get his album tomorrow! I hope I get to see him live someday

[@LyndzyLentil]

I've been such a huge nu-folk fan all my life, and I now realise that no-one - not Laura Marling, not Mumford & Sons, not Nikki Lane, not even Patrick Watson - can compare to this beautiful artist. Untouchable.

[@luckypierreable]

saw him at the great escape festival last weekend... his acoustic gig on the beach was the best thing of the entire festival!

[@Soulseekersound]

as the earth and all her beauty picked us up from off the ground carried far across the mountain to a kingdom never bound we will live like this forever i will love you i will love you i will love you

[@LetterkennyMFC]

I could listen to this all day and not get tired of it.

[@yipiable]

such an amazing song it deserves more recognition

[@andypagano6545]

After ten years, I thought your comment deserved more recognition :)

[@m30scs69]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@ggiovannaoliveira]

The voice is wonderful

[@pbillustrator]

First of all I am a Black guy. I am a really Black guy. They tell me that I shouldn't be into stuff like this but will publicly admit it (at least of the internet) that I love this song.

[@RagingBaby]

just discovered this guy for myself recently via his "Wicked Games" cover...what a talented individual. Keep it up, there's still hope for new music after all

[@wackojacko104]

I think james vincent Mcmorrow and Fleet Foxes would make a brilliant Duo

[@MsLadyCatherine]

Great song !!! I hope to be at the show in Paris !

[@floppykid]

I don't remember where I heard this song for the first time, I'm happy I found it, it's so beautiful

[@Piotrindahouse]

There are still artist which are following their instincts and inspiration not just only 'what people would like to hear'. Pretty simple song, true and pretty great. True music.

[@D-Esprit]

[@retrodreamer13]

This is the first song I heard of his, his voice is profoundly beautiful.

[@FrostedPingu]

Thanks JP

[@MiegmaishMenas]

It does indeed. The harmonies are just brilliant. While Mykonos was my song for 2010, this one is so now!

[@davidward1109]

Artists who have a small fan base tend to be more creative with their music due to their more supportive fans that encourage them.

[@hectik495909]

music to my ears sounds like this..

[@Tasiknia]

this is just soooo beautiful.... can't stop listening!!!!

[@WelcomeToZazaLand]

[@Subatomic_Next]

Great song and briliant lyrics.... God loves you all

[@liamashley]

why bring god into this you termite

[@Subatomic_Next]

+liamashley coz i can!

[@abara5678]

being intolerant to people believing in god is as much as idiotic as being intolerant to people who dont do so keep your insult´s to yourself, he didnt try to preach or so he just wanted to give people a good feeling. Im not Religious but people like liam are making me sick, using every opportunity to jump on people. So allthough im a non believer i do appreciate what you are trying to say with it and the gesture =)

[@liamashley]

lol

[@truzzi1]

goosebumps...

[@prashanthanrpr]

Magical!

[@mohatto]

Not much to say, absolutely stunning.
