[@robhampton4929]

This song is close to me meeting my wife, having 3 kids and them growing up then my wife dying of cancer 6 years ago.

Did the old guy order a cup of coffee for his deceased wife??? :( :( :( . There are two cups on his table.

[@Bushey4545]

I was but I heard the song like 50 times

[@blondedemond1141]

why hasn't this got more views more likes more everything this was amazing and now my favourite song

[@ArboristSam]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Juicepluggedin]

Blonde Demond ahhhh..maybe coz this is a fresh vid but eventually people will catch on.....its to good of a song for it not to get a shit load of like and views hahah...

[@SinFulxxNaTure]

Ed sheeran sings it better

[@ArboristSam]

no he dont ahah

[@MattKiCarter]

SinFulxxNaTure dnt think so ... haha

[@btt3rsw33t5]

I think he's telling the story of the old man sitting by himself in the room, because his wife died of cancer. Everyone there all represent their life together in the stages that he sings about during the song. On the couch next to the man is a younger couple that are in love and beside them a is a girl sitting by herself reading a book. She wasn't paying attention to him singing because she wasn't expecting to find love on that day. As the song goes on it introduces the couple with a baby and the camera alternates shots of them a the old man, placing emphasis of the wedding rings. This song is absolutely beautiful.

[@BabyMakR]

A song about a life well lived. Happy and sad, as life is. This is what I want played at my funeral.

[@TNsMo]

Who else was almost in tears when he sang about it coming back again ? Surely I'm not the only one

[@Ella-Ivy]

After all these years this song still hits my heart just as hard ❤

[@mistahguitarman3427]

Your back lol. How is it that I’ve only just heard this song this year

[@zanemallie9351]

It's the best things that you don't expect, that turn out to be the best ones.

[@flowersmile123]

That's for sure!

[@bentruswell3403]

Me my brother and my dad can relate to the end she died on her birthday last year :^(

[@patrickrobertson9111]

Sorry to hear that brother, hope things work out well for you guys

[@resiyandawafara6910]

The ending broke my heart. AND I SURE WASN'T EXPECTING THAT :'(

[@UKlaily]

I hope James will not get tired playing this song, and I never get tired listening to it. 😍

[@lisacrawleymusic]

I fell in love for the first time nine years ago and lost the same young man to a painful, very unfair battle to Cancer. Going from falling in love to not being able to hug someone because of the physical pain can really mess with ones mind - I indeed certainly 'wasn't expecting that', but know that he'd be proud of me making music and sharing stories like Jamie has done with this song. I don't know if this song has a back story or if it's purely fictional as many touching songs are, but thanks very much for this Jamie, here's hoping my third album can have a hit like this, hehe.

[@jakrismcfc]

All the best Lisa. You're a fantastic person

[@loribaltazar1947]

Simple but elegant. Few words but hit the heart hard. It ended so quickly, and i wasn't expecting that.

[@AmyRodley]

Literally obsessed with this song! Words can't explain how much I love you and your music 😘 tears were shed 😢

[@nafyboy23]

When you realize the young couple is him at the start of his relationship and the old man is him after his wife has died :'( crazy song

[@anything700]

It's the song. He is still young.

[@chriscrockerdebomb]

In the four years that I've known and loved this song nobody has ever noticed it and to be honest I'm glad people finally get to share my love of this song, it's amazing! I hope you go far Jamie Lawson.

[@flowersmile123]

This song is beautiful!

[@hart-books]

Ed sent me! Beautiful song. Amazing talent. Can't wait to hear the album. :)

[@TomTomMusicLife]

So.. anyone else start to cry at the ending?

[@yasmineyvbowho1180]

Me so sad

[@LisaTagaloa]

TomTom When I first heard the end - I totally did x

[@TomTomMusicLife]

Lisa Tagaloa I'm not alone :D

[@LisaTagaloa]

TomTom You're defs not :)

[@haikalsusanto3931]

[@numpty94]

australia is becoming the new britain as we are having a ton talent now

[@TheAstonia86]

Meli Hampton Australia has always had heaps of talented musicians.

[@numpty94]

TheAstonia86 yeah but how many have had popular songs like this one, not many

[@bobwilliams5078]

Meli Hampton Geronimo, all the Justice Crew's Songs :P EDITED, Also 5 Seconds Of Summer Songs.

[@clayvanryt5133]

Guy Sebastian's starting to get out there too

[@numpty94]

Yeah I cant believe he only has a small amount of subs

[@Larissa-rose1]

This song helped me with my memories xxx

[@musicchannel5308]

I don't think I've ever heard such a blissful song end on such a somber note. It's magnificent. It tears your heart out, gently pulling you through the exact emotions on how surprising a happy romance can be at every turn, whilst still reminding you that even the purest hearts and best intentions will eventually surprise you to the and in the end. No other song out there blended simplicity, beauty, and sorrow in such a poetic manner.

[@BigBoiApang]

"without that innocent kiss, what a life I would've missed"❤️❤️❤️

[@janslingerland7015]

shared this on the Facebook page of 10:11 PM - The power of music!

[@Threaldaveoss]

That last line though... Right in the feels. Also it is the chordal progression that is making people go Ohhh Don't look back in anger.

[@Ella-Ivy]

A month turned into a year and I'm still obsessed with this song 😍

[@frankwell2023]

Ultimate Pop Hits, Vol. 19 Lloyd Johnson - Wasn't Expecting That

[@JenniferTerri]

Beautiful music! Had me in tears.I wasn't expecting that!

[@MrGf1968]

If this song doesn't get you emotional, you must be dead inside! The song tells such a beautiful story....., until the tragic end.

[@jenniferm234]

We saw Jamie perform an opening act while at the Ed Sheeran concert in Dallas a few days ago...Let's just say A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! He sings from his heart!! Can't wait to see what he does in the future!

[@ekremtaslak2356]

"when the nurses they came said its come back again I wasn't expecting that, then you closed your eyes you took my heart by surprise I wasn't expecting that" reminds me of my mother who beat breast cancer only for it to come back years later, spread throughout her body, stage 4, I'm not ready to lose her.

[@ekremtaslak2356]

Sean Normoyle Thank you, it's always the random strangers over social media who seem to care the most

[@sheenacherry3050]

Sorry to hear about your Mum. I lost my Mum 1 year and 4 months ago to lung cancer. We played this song at her funeral, for my Dad and her. They'd been married for 35 years and had 3 kids (including myself). I would like to say it gets easier as the time goes on, but it doesn't. I'm in my second year since she passed, and it still feels like yesterday that I got that phone call, that split my heart into two.

[@georgebush1391]

This will win the Grammy's!

[@WtfJudah]

How does this song not have more views and likes?!?!?!?

[@yasmineyvbowho1180]

Omg people listen to the lyrics so sad especially when it says "when the nurses they came, it has come back again ,I wasnt expecting that. and "u closed ur eyes, u took my heart by surprise, I wasnt expecting that . Meaning they had a beautiful life a nd the cancer came back and when she closed her eyes she had died. So sad and is my favorite song

[@kateoliver156]

I miss you Ky

[@andrewtreloar7389]

This song will be remembered as one of the best ballads of all time I am sure!! So soul-stirring and emotive - I love it!!

[@hayleywainscoat1235]

I first heard this song when you sung it at Ed's concert, and I love it it's so catchy, great job Jamie x.

[@bwasdspace]

I heard this and thought it was ed.. to me they both sound similar

[@imluvinyourmum]

Planking Potato Yeah Ja Rule totally sounds like Eminem hey :D :D :D

[@bwasdspace]

What The what? I said ed not eminem?

[@asdfasdsfful]

[@socknumber2]

Hayley W Just went onto this video and you were top comment :O yeah you go hayley

[@Taylz6922]

Omg I found him. He played before Ed Sheeran and I fell in love he's amazing and I've been repeating this song for hours. Xoxo Go Jamie

[@hamishwilson9787]

The last part was kind of a mood changer

[@KATVALENTINE]

I WASNT READYYYY! I WASNT READYYYYY!!

[@nadinefay1560]

I can’t listen to this without crying.

[@metalangel01]

Ed is a smart man..This song made me cry..literally; wasn't expecting that**no pun intended**

[@MrWolfe-nu6wz]

Wow! So glad he's being signed to Ed's label. This song has stolen my heart and all of my time as I sit here and learn it. Brilliant and beautiful Jamie Lawson

[@nb8610]

Oh OK, my chest went off...❤

[@ellenandre2898]

It was my wedding song ❤

[@wcares8062]

Thanks for making cry . someone I loved killed himself. Was hard to grieve. But this song got me to. Thank you.

[@truestory6213]

[@gabby200]

[@javierfernandezlorente751]

That ending brings me close to tears every time. Incredible song.

[@keisiwn4885]

*I wasn't expecting myself to bawl, when i heard that last two lines!* 😭

[@velociraptor4747]

+kei si wen trying not to

[@kobetaylor9200]

It's the last few sentences that really got me

[@bert_banana]

I looked up this song last night for the first time in 2 years and this morning I wake up to a music video... that's soo strange, but awsome

[@LachlanThomson]

saw this guy with ed sheeran in sydney, good stuff!

[@emmarikken47]

Yeah! I saw him with ed sheeran too, in Amsterdam. Didn't knew him before that concert, but have been a fan ever since 😊

[@imluvinyourmum]

lomas toge Saw this guy at a bar in Melbourne before he met Ed, he had so much more soul before he got training, it was amazing and we all stopped drinking... And we're Australian...

[@carly-jaymetcalfe6401]

What The Ha! That is indeed a feat :)

[@yulianafa8422]

so lucky you!!!

[@xnavyro]

Jamie, thank you for this beautiful song, it meant the world to me on my recent loss, much appreciated!

[@ccl3a0107]

I came here becoz of troye's tweet:) this song's amazin!!!!! Thanks troye;))

[@jessicaguest6976]

This song is everywhere in Australia :)

[@michey668]

I got to witness you perform for the first time at Ed's concert tonight in Frisco, TX and I instantly fell in love with you. I'm so glad you were signed by Ed and I can't wait for you to blow up and get the recognition you deserve! ❤️

[@RubyOpheliaQuinn]

I swear to God this song makes me cry every time I listen to it.

[@keeganburke233]

Why does this pull at my heart strings

[@darylesese]

Those last two lines... I wasn't expecting that

[@NB-mi2jr]

Like some other comments are mentioning... I dunno either, in some way this is brilliant, tearful, but in another way just missing out on this little thing, I dunno why. But that must be why it has never become this song you keep hearing on the radio and everybody knows.

[@debbieduffy1409]

I freaking cried like a baby the first time (well every time) I heard this song.

[@heleneausserwoger4531]

I cried at the end... I understand why ed said that this is the first time he ever cried to a song

[@buskingkarma2503]

This guy never had another hit! That I was expecting.

[@cameronwilson9962]

This song is a song that makes you think

[@glenysholmes2986]

cameron wilson I certainly wasn't expecting that! workplace accident and a widow at 42..4kids. 😪😢😢

[@shmadui96]

I can't sing this song without crying at the end

[@rachee12345]

I think my favorite part about the video is how he's got a look on his face as if he's remembering everything about her

[@alan9495]

The lyrics seems like from our family. My dad and mum have 3 kids and we have pretty much grown up and mum got diagnosed with cancer. Then she was in remission for about 2 yrs but it came back and a year or two we saw her close her eyes the last time.

[@GunnarOden]

Such a good song ❤

[@emmagrace2929]

how does this video only have 6000 views? This is pure talent

[@CanadianLynxx]

I wasn't expecting to cry listening to this song. It's like Small Bump all over again; such a beautiful song that you can't help but smile to the entire time... until the last few seconds when, in an instant, your heart breaks. I wasn't expecting this to become the song I've been listening to on repeat for the past three days. I certainly wasn't expecting to have to try, quite hard, not to cry listening to it, even though now I know how it ends. Beautiful song, definitely one of my new favourites. So much so, that I've already pre ordered the album. October can't come fast enough.

[@georgiaclarke2012]

I love this song. I basically listen to it everyday. It one of those songs that you just listen to over and over again. He's very talented and he has an amazing voice.

[@voltare2amstereo]

you spent the night in my bed, you woke up and said .. i wasnt execting that - 2 years on - this song is so sad, i dread the end

[@christianvlek]

its the middle that's beautiful .the end makes it more beautiful.

[@glenysholmes2986]

voltare2amstereo my family didn't deserve him going. so miss him 😢😢

[@paullee9305]

I adore this song. It is happy and so, so, sad at the same time. Cheers Jamie Lawson, you done and up made me cry.

[@karenhollup5817]

Beautiful song beautiful voice, ♥️🎶🇨🇦🎹🎸💘

[@cristo126634]

MY HEART....THIS SONG BROKE IT!

[@alxrsounds7937]

Such a nice song, such a nice video!! I feel so privileged to have seen you perform live!

[@roberta1272]

I had heard this on the radio and thought it was alright then I watch the video/song. I Hate how much of an emotional roller coaster it puts you through. makes me want to propose to my lady then go straight to the doctors to make sure we are healthy. lol

[@sandiwalch5706]

Such a perfect song for my relationship with my husband, he passed 9-15-2014 and it is almost a year now. But this is what we had for almost 24 years. Thank you for telling our story.

[@mariasearcy5244]

i asked my Samuel what song he listens to that reminds him of us and this is the one he chose

[@saabirsaleh5924]

There's beauty in every experience, happy or sad, life or death

[@mccuejonathan]

I love this, Ed Sheeran brought me to this!

[@birdbags886]

Absolutely beautiful. Not that sad, cos we all lose someone we love someday. A life in a song of the 1 left behind.😥

[@gemmab.5316]

[@karenhicks8918]

[@Dermatillomaniac]

[@rositabelden4080]

Heard this song for the first time last night and have not stopped playing it. Jamie, you must have a truly beautiful soul. Love Ed and never thought that I would say this but you put so much more feeling into it.

[@stuartjack9123]

It was only a smile But my heart it went wild I wasn't expecting that Just a delicate kiss Anyone could've missed I wasn't expecting that Did I misread the sign? Your hand slipped into mine I wasn't expecting that You spent the night in my bed You woke up and you said "Well, I wasn't expecting that!" I thought love wasn't meant to last I thought you were just passing through If I ever get the nerve to ask What did I get right to deserve somebody like you? I wasn't expecting that It was only a word It was almost misheard I wasn't expecting that But it came without fear A month turned into a year I wasn't expecting that I thought love wasn't meant to last Honey, I thought you were just passing through If I ever get the nerve to ask What did I get right to deserve somebody like you? I wasn't expecting that Oh and isn't it strange How a life can be changed In the flicker of the sweetest smile We were married in spring You know I wouldn't change a thing Without that innocent kiss What a life I'd have missed If you'd not took a chance On a little romance When I wasn't expecting that Time doesn't take long Three kids up and gone I wasn't expecting that When the nurses they came Said, "It's come back again" I wasn't expecting that Then you closed your eyes You took my heart by surprise I wasn't expecting that

[@isasenpaii]

Those emotions...

[@elanafiber]

Congratulations on being the first to sign with Ed :) This is an amazing first single!
