For the last fourteen years Other Voices has been capturing musical performances in intimate spaces. The TV show and music festival which began in Dingle, Ireland has travelled to London, New York, Derry, Latitude Festival and Ireland's premier music festival, Electric Picnic.
The ending when he goes all out is fucking breathtaking man no other words to describe it
Agreed. Love it.
If you ever have the chance to see him perform live, do it. I didn't have high expectations because I wasn't that familiar with his music. He is one of the best performers I have ever seen.
This song explains exactly my situation I left and traveled over 2000 miles always just to get away from the one who stole and broke my heart.
I feel your pain bro.
Golden, golden, golden river run
To the East then drop beneath the sun
And as the moon lies low and overhead
We're lost
Burn slow, burning up the back wall
Long roads, where the city meets the sky
Most days, most days stay the sole same
Please stay, for this fear it will not die
If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Down low, down amongst the thorn rows
Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine
Birds play, try to find their own way
Soft clay, on your feet and under mine
If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Splitting at the seams
Heaving at the brace
Sheets all billowing
Breaking of the day
Sea is not my friend
And everyone conspires
Still I choose to swim
Slip beneath the tide
Once I had a dream
Once I had a hope
That was yesterday
Not so long ago
This is not the end
This is just the world
Such a foolish thing
Such an honest girl
If I had a boat, I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
Once I had a dream, it died long before
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
Wow
This song always goes through my soul
St JAMES Church? Brilliant!
The way he weaves stories and sound is "haunting".
They stay with you through the day and leave one with wonder.
MORE James, bring us MORE!!!
The voice of an angel!
His voice is so smooth it's really relaxing
i love that he sounds BETTER live! unfortunately, we can't say that about too many "artists" today. bravo dude. bravo!
James Vincent McMorrow and Jacko Hooper, set for big things this year i think, so great to see so many great artists coming through,
The ending never ceases to give me goosebumps and I’ve literally listened to this version hundreds of times. Love the buildup and climax.
A true artist here, please make way!
His music is so much more beautiful live. Breath taking!
listen first time (check)
put headphones on (check)
volume max lvl (check)
repeat all day (check)
This was the best free song I've purchased, fan ever since, free song of the week on iTunes, best decision
@OtherVoicesLive - You could. You could say - He has a bloody outstanding voice. Or b'jesus christ that is one hell of a good voice... or... quite a few things
Masterpiece. Capolavoro. Meisterwerk. Obra maestra. Chef-d'œuvre.
Fell in love with this song instantly!
Goosebumps all over... amazing
no words.
That's absolutely great. What a song!
I want to sing like this guy
Sea is not my friend
And everyone conspires
Still I choose to swim
Slip beneath the tide
Wonderful music from an unbelievable artist!
beautiful.
amazing, .... and its so good to see no hatin in the comments bellow ... i found this place in yt .. yay

Wow!! This really has got to be seen to be believed! The musical build up through to the end is just amazing.
I have seen him live and he was excellent.
Quality songs, passion and joy in the performance and the band were wow!!!.
Hw had two female members of the group who stole the show. I hope to see them play live music post plague.
I couldn't be more in love with this man if i tried!
"Once, I had a dream - it died long before. Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore" If I had a boat, I'd take you wherever your pain would be replaced with happiness. If I had a boat...you'd be ok. I love you dad...
Amazing talent.. The song is great by itself, however his voice is hauntingly good!!!
superb this is what music is all about this is superb....im searching for gold like this every day...you have a new fan in me....x
Instantly one of my all time favorites....damn, this is a great song
Still listening
Once I had a dream
.. once I had a hope
That was yesterday, not so long ago
This is not the end
. This is just the world..
His voice is like a mix of Dallas Green and the singer of Matthew and the Atlas. Quite the combo.
So powerful and beautiful, yet simple.
Absolutly great!
Within minutes he got a favorite for me.
Sometimes a mixture of Barclay James Harvest and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
I am totally in love with this song! Amazing... i can't get enough of his music.. outstanding. So vunerable.. Thanks for sharing :-)
He is such a beautiful artist. I am in love...
Vocals are proper smashin yessss!

Thank You for this Silent Hill Downpour
I don't have enough thumbs. He's the best!
Ethereal and so deeply moving x
Well done Jimmy. I'll be home in September. I always spend a couple of days in Allihies, West Cork whenever i go home. But next time I'm gonna visit the Church of Saint James in Dingle for sure.
Holy Shit. What a voice. What a song. I'm inlove.
Astonishingly brilliant
Amazingly beautiful
He has my heart
50,000+ views and 0 dislikes?
Says it all really...
@DKP4 we have to agree.... this year he sings cover versions of songs he heard in previous series of Other Voices. His version of 'Blood Buzz, Ohio" is a particular favorite of mine...
You don't need a boat when you've learned to float...
On your own. Nothing but yourself, the moon and waiting for the warmth of the morning sun.
Then the shore appears.
this guy is the (excuse the term) balls!
That guitar riff is so godly, haven't heard any like em. Anybody got a contender?
is a MASTERPIECE!!!!
DRY THE RIVER ARE REALLY GOOD ASWELL

Can anyone direct me to more 'up tempo' JVMcM tunes? Loving this!
Is there a HIGH QUALITY audio version of this performance that can be purchased or downloaded somewhere? This is probably the best version to me. So many feelings when I hear this version. Any help is appreciated please and thanks you!
Use clipconverter.cc... just copy and paste the youtube URL for this video and it will turn it into an .mp3 that you can download. Very safe and reliable, I've used it many times.
Might not be extremely high quality but it will sound just like this video :)
Thanks
it is on spotify!
see you in Zürich! :-)
@iDasuss - You have clearly miss-read the comments. I was showing how you could AGREE more.
Reminds me of Jeff Buckley so much. Pure talent
He reminds me a lot to Jeff Buckley.
