Some thoughts from a 47 year-old American: When you put out your first ten songs, I burned them on CDR in release order and listened to them during long drives. Now that you're up to twenty, I continue the format, and can not imagine doing it any other way. "Slow Down" is exactly what I want to hear when backing out of the driveway, and hitting the highway as "Him" comes on gets me psyched up for the ride. I can't imagine skipping anything, because there's always a hook in each song that I can latch onto and say, "oh yeah, this is THAT one". The gap between good moments is never very wide, but again, those are just my thoughts. I'm sure that by the time you're up to thirty or forty songs, I'll end up chucking some away, but as it stands right now, it's all gold to this old fella. Sappy side note: A couple of years ago, I was starting to lose the love of my life to cancer, and had to get used to riding long distances in the car without her. I'm glad I had those first ten songs to help get me through that. She's been gone well over a year now, but at least I have another ten songs to take on that lonely road with me. Thank you for that.
hope your well now ❤
This was such a lovely comment to read. I am so sorry for your loss but I wish you pleasant car journeys and a wonderful life!
crying this is the cutest and saddest comment ever
this is such a sweet yet sad comment. i really hope you are doing well now❤️❤️
I would also burn James Marriott songs
"Don't Blame Me", "Grapes" and "Going Postal At The Party" are definitely my favourite James Marriott songs, tbh, they just hit different
SO REAL
YES
Massive agreed.
GRAPES IS SO GOOD
YESSSS THE BEST OPINION EVER
“So long” “You Are Here” and “Where Has Everyone Gone?” are my favorites because they are just so relatable.
YES MY JAW DROPPED WHEN HE PUT IT IN SO LONG IN D AND WHAG IN C AND EVERYTHING IN C AND JUST EVERYTHING IDK I LOVE ALL HIS MUSIC SM 😭 IT’S SO UNIQUE TO ME
@@creativenewt5639 I mean his criticism about those songs did make sense tho
@creativenewt FOR REAL LIKE ACTUALLY IM NOTEVEN JOKING HE PUT IT IN D AND I JUST PAUSED THE GIDEO AND BROKE DOWN- LIKE OMG SO LONG IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD WHAT?!
Why’s bro me
So long is my #1 through and through, and I love wheg aswell
Car lights will be my favourite forever
!!!!!!!!!
Don't Blame Me, OVER MY HEAD, Denial, Sleeping On Trains and Where Has Everyone Gone will always have a special place in my heart 🫶🏽
i totaly agree tho I'd add Romanticise This and that's my top song
Honestly just most of awty
In Between not being A or S tier is criminal, genuinely one of my favourite tracks, without the bias of it being by Jimbo
For real
it is my favourite one lol
I really wanna like it because the lyrics are really good and i know so many ppl love it so much but idk I just can't get myself to like really enjoy it
I still love it tho bcs its a Jimbo song
REALLLL
Honestly no matter how you feel about each song, every new release is James telling a story, as cliché as it is, I love his work for that reason.
Pookie stays eating, the hair looks amazing
real‼️‼️‼️
The lyric "I'm not scared, there's nothing to run from" from Carlights is something I would repeat to myself whenever I felt unnecessary anxiety. James is a beautiful song writer and an even better person.
don’t blame me and grapes have chokeholds over me and i play them on repeat often.
5:37 james goes 'GOLD', immediately I get an ad break for bold platinum pods with the song 'Gold' by Spandau Ballet 💀
bruh moment
Mine was an F1 clash mobile game lol
“You’re indestructible, Always believe in….GOLD”
Gold, grapes, sleeping on trains, and him will all forever be my favorites!! I also have so many memories listening to them
Yes.
"You Are Here" is one of my favorite songs honestly, it's really underrated. It's very soothing and then like you said very loud. I honestly really love it, and lyrics as well
JAMES HOLY SHIT YOUR ALIVE❤
i was literally wishing he would upload and i check yt and he magically uploads
@@rarer.fr
@@rarer.he’s been uploading for ages on his second channel loll
@@Bvbble73 i know but not too like often right
I’ve been so worried 😭
i really love The Other Side, Over My Head, In Between and Gold. GOLD NEEDS TO BE APPRECIATED
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS RN
when i reacted to your album for the first time when it released , the other sides guitar solo had me left SHELLSHOCKED. immediately became one of my favourite all time songs , it was such an amazing solo and i loved it 🤍🤍
Despite it not being a favourite, wake up will always have a special place in my heart. I still remember staying up until midnight until the song was released to listen to it and finding it the most relatable James Marriott song, and to this day it is. His music genuinely changed my life and I really hope I can see him live one day
You putting So Long in D actually took years off my lifespan
No cuz yeah.
'car lights', 'dont blame me', 'so long' and 'you are here' gotta be my favorites. They are serious bangers 🫂
Hairs looking strong recently 💪💪 love it, and lovely black Epiphone!
Personally love over my head, very underrated song
So long, in between, over my head, THE OTHER SIDE, WHEG?, and wake up being anything under A physically hurt me
okay but Romanticise This and Don't Blame Me are my favourite songs that you've made honestly, like I literally listen to them on a daily basis lmao, though I do like most of the ones I've listened to so far
I found your music with sleeping on trains, it randomly appeared on my spotify one day and I loved it, and then months later I started watching your content and then MORE MONTHS LATER I realized "oh this guy I watch is the artist of that one song I love"
He did “The Other Side” so dirty that one is my favorite.
It definitely is more rocky
More Pinely music videos would be amazing. The "Romanticize This" video was so good, and it was great to see Orr getting to flex his directorial skills.
Also I think you can really feel how much you love "Don't Blame Me" in every second of that song.
JAMES YOUR BACK LETS GOO
JAMES WHAT OVER MY HEAD IS MY FAVORITE SONG RNNNNN 😍
Im so glad you agree with Don't Blame Me. It's my favourite by FAR its so fucking good man
currently going through my GCSE Music, and basing my composition on your songs, i dont usually get very sappy, especially online, but your music is a huge inspiration to me, James. Every song has points that i love, and i really enjoy pulling my favourite moments from your songs and working it into my own music. It's pushed me out my comfort zone because i usually focus on writing the lyrics with my friend writing the music, but it's amazing to be so inspired to create something even remotely like your music, gotten me through a lot- Thank you
Over my head and Car lights are my personal favourites, both melody and lyrics are just amazing
my holy trinity is "Grapes", "Denial" and "GPATP". but "Him" also slapss!!!
I love new face so much its defo my fav but in between just hits different because I relate 😭
Grapes has a special place in my heart. I showed it to my little cousin and we jammed to it all day. It is one of my favorite memories. ❤ great song man. Your awesome.
Cant believe you put The Other Side so LOW the guitar riff makes me go insane in a way ive very rarely done so before its so GOOD
Same I screamed when he put it that low
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!
SOT, Romanticise this, So long, and Wake Up!, have such special places in my heart. It's crazy how much James' music has impacted my life.❤️
UR HAIR IS LOOKING SO GOOD ATM THE MULET IS SLAYINGGG BTW
from the bottom of my heart when don’t blame me came on I screamed “THAT BETTER BE S TIER” because don’t blame me means so much to me
Ok but why is James’s hair absolutely on point??😯😯😻
It's so fucking nice bro like 😭 (mb it's 1 in the morning and I'm binge watching youtube either giggling to myself or abt to start sobbing)
Wake up and where has everyone gone are my favorites 😭💔 Love all your music though James, I’ve been here since 2020 enjoying ur music and I always look forward to your releases. Hope to see you live one day!
So long is my alltime favorite 🫶🏼 I can’t believe you put it at D 😭
denial and don’t blame me are the reason you went from my 6th most listened to artist to my 2nd on my spotify wrapped. i adore those songs so dearly and i hope to hear them live one day
OMG HEY KING. LONG TIME NO SEE?
Me and my dad always sing along to 'So Long' on the way to our weekly morrisons grocery shop, hes a picky music listener so the fact that I found a song we both enjoy and can sing together is such a happy thing that I look forward to every time it plays on my playlist. Thank you for bringing my dad and I closer
I agree with all of these EXCEPT So Long. As Jimbo said, he felt restricted to stick to the live version while recording, but I do also think it is still an incredible song and one of my favourites from any artist, not just James. It is beautifully written and works really well on the album. I understand what James is saying, but I am still SO FREAKING GLAD that it's the way it is.
TOS and Over my Head are my absolute favourites from the album! Theyre so fun to sing. Ive been here from the start and definitely vibe best with your newest stuff, but looking back, I love all of it ❤
My favourite artist is back
so long, where has everyone gone, and over my head. pure masterpeices 🌟✨️
the guitar in other side slaps so hard though i love it
I love how genuine your music is and how you can actually hear all of the instruments with less backing tracks and the fact that you can play the songs with your own band
ok but his music is perfect to listen to in summer depression
Brother I am literally OBSESSED with the instrumental and lyrics like separately (somehow) in over my head. it's such an OP song
Over My Head nation rise up!!
James, your music has genuinely saved my life. Keep it up king, I’m so excited for you and it’s lovely to see you a lot happier within your career now vs when I first started watching your content (like six years ago now, during the commentary days). You’re doing amazing things, I can’t wait for more music in the future ❤️
I get why the other side is in c, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love that song and how much its impacted me. The story it tells of almost committing suicide and at the end deciding to live feels ripped straight from my life and this song helped me come to terms with that, so thank you James ❤️
Over my head has got to be one of my favorites, although so many of your songs are bangers. Just so fun to sing in the car.
i just had a physical reaction to the pure mention of over my head i love it SO much
james your hair is looking majestical not even gonna lie
I've listened to them on repeat so much I'm starting to hate you. Thanks, JM!!
James, seeing you perform a whole bunch of these songs in London was such an incredible experience and I feel lucky to have discovered your music so early into your career. Thank you for producing
ITS BEEN SO LONG JAMES
Denial is my favorite and I stand by that, not only because it's such a bop but when you listen to the album in order, White Noise flows into it PERFECTLY. I love the story that comes from both of those songs
Calling went hard, that shit goes hard🙏
(I do want a vinyl, yes)
Car Lights is my gay fuckin' anthem😭
Denial, broooooo if In-between didn't exist this would be my top AWYT song🙃
Don't blame me, couldn't shut up when it was released, cause the end of friendships cause during venting I'll be like, "womp, womp- anygays have you heard of don't blame me?"
Going postal at a party, the lyrics go hard man
Gold, when I learnt it was directed by Ted I was like, HUH, made me love it even more (love the part: "cause your silence is gold,")
Grapes, the song I fell in love with back in 2022, didn't appreciate it until that year.
Him, when I was going through a breakup when they cheated, this song was everything to me, helped me feel understood.
In-between, this song just resonates with me in ways I cannot describe, I remember James just saying like, "this song isn't as popular as the rest," I didn't care, I loved it.
New Face, it was good I liked it? I mean it grew on me,
Over my head, THAT ONE PART HAD ME SCREAMING THE LYRICS.
Romanticise this, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't listened to this like it was a daily ritual, and pretend I didn't make sm art based upon those damn balloons.
Sleeping on Trains, imo, I loved it, the drums I loved.
Slow down, I WILL FIGHT JIMBO. The song goes hard, meme or not, I just loved it.
So long, I did an Adobe project on just that song, I fell in love with it. Got an 'A+' on the project too :) my teacher loved the lyrics :D
The other side, THE GUITAR RAHHHHH I WILL DIE FOR IT.
Wake up, The music video kinda made me laugh, but loved the song!!
Where has everyone gone, bro James's voice in that one part, "Good enough for-" then just goes fuckin' ham, "YOUUUUUUU," like I levitated for a bit there man.
White Noise, say sum shit. I dare you. This song is for the homies that feel it in their soul.
You are here, I love it. Like man, it goes so hard. Feel it in my heart
I literally have watched all of your videos on the live stream channel and I didn't know this own existed. Looks like I am binging yet again.
don’t blame me is so underrated (in my opinion!!)
Yessss! Don't Blame Me is my fav of yours too
They are all S tier James
FRRR
Gold was my intro to you and so it holds a good place in my heart, so definitely A for me. So Long is at S by far. So many emotions and the mv for some reason gives me goosebumps. Grapes is such a bop that deserves nothing less than A.
why does bro look younger than he did 5 years ago??
Aging like wine
I saw you at The Garage last tour and Him was so cathartic. I had my girlfriend cheat on me with my best friend a few years ago while my cousin was in hospital dying and it really was 'of all the people in the world, with my best friend? With him?' and to be in a room full of people, the band going at it, sceaming with a bunch of people who don't know my story and whose stories I'll never know. That experience alone puts the song in S tier for me. Car lights is another one that is amazing to hear anyway but hearing it live was something else and those two songs will always hold a place with me from that night
im actually shocked he didnt put grapes in S.
Car lights and slow down, whilst less liked, those two slap hard for me, I only really listen to them in the summer, or when I’m walking around and it’s like super sunny.
12:00 OVER MY HEAD IS MY FAVOURITE SONG WDYM 😭
such a big personal thankyou for this vid. when your album came out i was at an awful time in my life so much so that I never listened to it through fully, because i just couldnt handle any music of any kind, any lyrics about anything. this vid has brought me back at a great time and now I get to appreciate it and you fully. and as someone who studied sound in college super cool to hear your opinions on your work. so much love
JUSTICE FOR NEW FACE (/lh i promise)
My favourite parts of romanticise this is when James is trying (and failing) to literally the cigarette because he doesn’t smoke (I think) and when he throws the balloons out the window, it’s one of my favourite music videos
JAMES YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING. the glow up is mental
Never ran so fast to grab a shirt and the vinyl! 🖤 can’t wait to see you in Liverpool!
slow down is S tier. it was unintentionally my top song on spotify last year
I had heard a few of your songs and came here because I figured it would be the best way to get into some of your music. I found myself loving a lot of your low rankings! But this was a great way to get a look at the full catalogue of your songs and your opinions on them are fascinating to provide insight into the song's history. I'd love to hear more about the writing process in terms of lyrics for songs, in a style similar to this!
Denials music vid is one of my favs because ygs look so happy in it
And yea DBM had me screaming crying at the concert😭
REAL OMG i almost passed out multiple times during the bridge 😭
So long in D tier is an absolute war crime
Am I the only one who actually quite liked slow down 😭. Like its not in my top 5 or anything but its still a banger
I’m really glad to see you back. I don’t know when this was filmed, but I hope you’re doing better. I miss your streams. Come back whenever you’re ready jimbo. You owe us push-ups
I LOVE YOU ~JAMES~ POOKIE!!! THAT HAIR IS
So long was my introduction into James, but now white noise is my favorite. White Noise has single handedly changed me as a person: you have single handedly changed me as a person. Thank you James and Spotify DJ
HE'S BACK!!!
edit: in between, the other side, don't blame me, car lights, you are here, and grapes are probably my all-time favs, but most of everything else is not far below them.
except for slow down. slow down is in the equivalent of the back of my closet lmao
james you’ve persuaded me to buy a vinyl (as soon as you showed it i went straight to the website)
SLOW DOWN S TIER ALWAYS 🗣️
"I don't really play sleeping on trains live" I saw you play it live in February which was fucking awesome
'the other side' in C actually shocked me😭😭
Witnessing Romanticise This, Denial, Don't Blame Me and Car Lights live was an ethereal experience
Every song should be on S-tier, I don't care what ANYONE says.
My favourites are "You Are Here", "Where Has Everyone Gone?", "Sleeping on Trains", "The Other Side", "Car Lights" and "Gold"! But honestly, it's hard for me to choose. I think I love almost all of James' discography.
ok im SORRY. but James if you see this, I can ignore Grapes and Denial not being in S tier, but OVER MY HEAD????? BRO WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT, THAT IS BY FAR YOUR BEST SONG BOTH LYRICALLY AND PRODUCTION WISE!???
Just had a cry session and then just ‘stumbled upon this video’ then cried even harder and got really really happy
