Parson James - Waiting Game (Acoustic)

[@charlizeparedes6358]

The originals brought me here. R.I.P Cami the episode was so darn sad!!! I kept crying and repeating the episode and even mourned Cami for a week after. Apparently when characters die on that series it just gets to you.

[@sophiarodriguez3207]

That’s the only death no matter how many times I watch out of the tvd universe that always makes me cry 😢

[@hollygeorgia1700]

Some deaths I laughed at ngl but cami’s death hit hard aswell as hayleys 😩

[@mikemckenzie3175]

Even Sophie’s death hit me because of the music that played during the scene and because of the general feeling of hopelessness and betrayal of being killed by your own niece

[@ThePiccoloRocks]

Same! I kept asking my daughter if she was going to miraculously start breathing again but I could tell in her eyes it wasn’t happening. 😢😢😢

[@joshuatezeno4009]

R. I. H cami

[@beezazim]

The originals brought me here and now I'm so in love with this song. It's been a month and I still can't stop listening to it. ❤

[@brittoo8940]

Eu também 😁

[@JthePrince850]

The Originals 3x19 episode brought me here. That episode and this song brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this beautiful poetry.

[@brittoo8940]

[@RevolverRoselot]

The originals brought me here. Sad episode, But many people did not like Cami and Klaus together, This scene should've convinced and cement it for viewers. They really did need eachother and encouraged the best out of eachother through the hardships. The song made me miss my ex, Just wanting to call her, or message her. This scene hurt all the more as In the past; I never got to say my goodbies to someone and relating to Klaus when he turned away and faultered when Cami said he needed love and it would make him stronger. Both Cami and Hope are the catalysts that are changing Klaus, Not necessary to someone he’s not, But who he wants to be but is inside, Not the monster he chose to become because of the lack or trust and love over the centuries. Perfect song and performance for the show

[@jasmondlindsey4362]

The Originals brought me here. All the time I was balling crying, I was thinking "this is a beautiful song." A beautiful so for the beautiful personality that died

[@TXOdle]

I have nothing but compliments. It's far from perfect, and that's what makes it perfect for me. Live, raw and real.

[@cassie93100]

We all love an imperfection but I see absolutely none with this song. Actually, I'm just genuinely curious to know what part is imperfect to you?

[@lauriehavens3288]

How the hell can anyone ever vote this song down? Open your ears and your minds people? Stunning!

[@mandiejennings117]

My god what a voice! This took my breath away. Absolutely captivating. I loved the vibrato on the low notes and the clarity of voice. Stunning!

[@lesleyjonesarthur]

Season 3 episode 19 of originals brought me here💔 RIP CAMILLE❤️🔥

[@sharoncaulder5811]

Ashton/Parson James is AWESOME!! He is from my VERY small hometown and ran track in our VERY small high school with my daughter. I just love all his songs and they ALL hit home for one reason or another with me!

[@haydenhowe7425]

The Originals brought me here. I swear don't even like the girl but I was in full tears... TO fans will know what I'm talking about

[@dbzsuperssjblack2690]

Real tall she fine it suxx she died, but this was a badass song for her to go out on great song

+Donald Mac same i never really liked klaus and cami as a couple but now i'm just crying like a baby

[@amounasecrets8945]

+Donald Mac i surely know what you r talking about :'( i cried more than i thought i would .

[@tanishamudryk2528]

It was beautiful in the part that she died and they were saying there good byes

[@dbzsuperssjblack2690]

I liked Haley and Klaus as a couple, I hate rick and Caroline as a couple like really wtf lol. That goodbye scene was beautiful

[@quentinagreen7756]

Huge fan of the Originals!! Still am, and this song is a timeless masterpiece, it applies to so many of us. The struggle is real, no matter what you are struggling with!

[@pleaselistenbeforeyouspeak3086]

life brought me here. i know God will bring heaven back because He never left me.

[@manywelecollection3677]

The original,No more heart break got me here... just staying alive

[@msnita78ify]

Wow I love this...came across it while crying during the No More Heartbreaks episode of The Originals. I've never heard of him but I'll be watching out for him now.

[@amandagillum1214]

The Originals brought me here but this is my life. When I die I want this song on repeat at my funeral.

[@aliciaclay1187]

I was sleep on Parson until I heard Trent on American Idol sing his song. I think he's an emotional brilliant singer, correction artist. I am a new fan. I hope to hear more from him.

[@haitiandan26]

PARSON James is a masterpiece in writing songs and singing them....it's sad he doesn't get the credit he deserves

[@cathy8181]

Thank you for this beautiful gift of your song!! So touching and I loved it. I heard Trent Harmon sing it on American Idol and he did a beautiful job too!

[@nohelymorgan7409]

Parson James brought me here 💙

[@jeremyrolland3499]

3 years ago i met a female friend through work. One day i got sick and she nursed me back to health. We were playing music and cleaning up and she dedicated this song to me. I wish i would have known what this meant at the time.

[@RaphaelGarcia]

Parson's soul is just radiating through my screen... Lovin' that gospel feel!

[@emilysalvgilbert5741]

This is what I call REAL MUSIC and TALENT. This should have more than 100 million views cause this song talk about love,purpose and life.

[@creepydoll6023]

Thank You Originals For Bringing Me To An Amazing Song😌💯😭

[@HoneHekeYT]

Joshua Walton yes thank u originals for bringing us to this song

[@soongfs]

Parson is shedding tears at the end of the song.....Such emotion....

[@awahardi5605]

Lyrics: I've been fishing and can't catch a bite I've been praying, ain't seen that light I've been searching, high to the low I've been working, working, working myself to the bone Now my skin starts to crawl I'm gon' tear down these walls if I don't get out I've lost heaven to hell And I know very well I'm gon' get it back There's just this waiting game And I don't know how to play It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway Yes, there's this waiting game And I don't know how to play It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway There's a voice in my pillow, it's got it out for me Umm, umm, 'cause it' keeps mumbling, mumbling All through the night, I can't sleep I've been patient, oh, a change gon' come But that damn clock just don't stop ticking, ticking, ticking away That's the storm Now my skin starts to crawl I'm gon' tear down these walls if I don't get out I've lost heaven to hell And I know very well I'm gon' get it back There's just this waiting game And I don't know how to play It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway Yes, there's this waiting game Oh, I don't know how to play It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway Umm, umm, umm Umm, umm, umm

[@Natalia-cm8ez]

[@beccaboobabe2]

This song is absolutely beautiful. The emotion he pours into it just breaks my heart. I wonder what he's been though in life to put so much of himself into this song. Simply Beautiful.

[@carterwatson1715]

Why is this my first time hearing this Beautiful masterpiece ?!?!?!?❤️

[@alexandriagachuhi7718]

Portia Williams that was the saddest episode. So many bad things happened just in that 1 episode

[@kirstieforella8879]

I ugly cried with this song in TO 😭😭😭

[@ic805]

“The Originals” is really something. Rest in Heaven with peace Cami😢.

[@krystalgrimes716]

I am probably with the rest of this crowd and discovered this song on American Idol but it immediately became my new favorite song because I am in these shoes playing this waiting game. It hit home for me. love it and probably going out real soon to try and find it so I can hear it everyday.

[@KandiBabyy]

**speechless** OMG....I just can’t....💔.... These words and his voice, our hearts are alike.

[@rebeccasticklee471]

Agreed. My heart

[@felixlopez326]

I’ve decided to rewatch the originals once more and yet this song still brings me such sadness to see how Cami dies😔 best damn therapist/bar tender I’ve seen!

[@CrisPheasant]

That sniff at the very end....hits hard and sums up everything in that single second. Glad they didn't cut it out at the end.

[@khairulayul89]

Yes Trent brought me here. But Parson's version is way better because he wrote it, and since he wrote it, he is able to articulate brilliantly the raw emotions that comes with the song... Well done Mr. James!

[@KZeeCouture]

This song deserves more views. Its so beautiful

[@justinandrew2845]

Trent's version of American Idol on this song is amazingly beautiful. The artistry, the tone, the range of Trent's voice is unique. He will be the winner of this last AI season, no doubt.
