    Let me just say, this is music at its peak. I happen to be an avid music listener, and you my friend, have made something that I cannot get out of my head. This is something that rivals Radiohead and Jeff Buckley in their musical prime. I could write books on how much this song impressed me, but I'll leave it to your imagination. I just feel that you deserve a whole lot of praise for this accomplishment.
    Also, the way you work your vibrato, magnificent!

    I have no idea how to express how amazing this song is honestly. I enjoy tightropes by x so much, but I am very glad to have found out you are the one who really created most of it. Your version is much better. The lyrics are so damn great. The song itself is even more then great. I love this song. I cannot stop listening to this and I just wanted to really thank you for sharing this with us James. Please pursue in a music career or keep more songs coming for us who are fans of you. Once again..thank you for this, really. you have an amazing gift. I have been enjoying this for months now. I bet you could make many other great songs. Hope to see way more of your creations.

    [Verse 1]
    The sun started falling
    When you woke up
    My feet weren’t covered
    When you started getting dressed
    [Chorus]
    Don't leave this town my dear
    Don't leave even for the day
    I’m on the ropes again
    I need you as I am oh
    [Verse 2]
    The oars start sinking
    When you let go
    To use your hands while speaking
    Saying don't ever let us float
    [Chorus]
    Don't leave this town my dear
    Don't leave even for the day
    I’m on the ropes again
    I need you as I am
    [Verse 3]
    I must have caught your cold
    I could not sleep at all
    I’m clinging on the ropes
    I need you as I fall
