Here I am in 2018, 25 years after its release, wondering if I’m the only person in the US at this moment singing this song out of the blue and scrambling to UA-cam to hear it once again
Weird how SO many years after this release, its message is EVERMORE clear in these days. We live in a sad world where people are GLUED to themselves and/or their devices
Literally been 15 years since the last time I listened to this song, idk why I remembered it today, I just started humming it out of nowhere and came here to listen to it.
My god! Why doesn't UA-cam recommend this like it does with all those overplayed songs?! It's so beautiful it gave me goosebumps the second it started.
You're as tight as a hunter's trap Hidden well, what are you concealing Poker face, carved in stone Amongst friends, but all alone Why do you hide? Say something, say something, anything I've shown you everything Give me a sign Say something, say something, anything Your silence is deafening Give me a sign Take a drug to set you free Strange fruit from a forbidden tree You've got to come down soon More than a drug is what I need Need a change of scenery Need a new life Say something, say something, anything I've shown you everything Give me a sign Say something, say something, anything Your silence is deafening Give me a sign Say something, say something, anything I've shown you everything Give me a sign I'm open wide, open wondering Have you swallowed everything Pay me in kind
So when is this silly calendar thing going to stop? This has gone as bad as the Coronavirus. We are all listening this during this lockdown, a lot of people are here during this 2020 for obvious reasons! What's next: the "nobody..." comment or the "hold my beer" joke?
A better question is where are y’all from? I didn’t know any James fans growing up in Kansas. I had friends in the UK but they’re weren’t big into this band
The uniqueness in James is based on the fact that they were meant to be one of the greatest bands ever. Tim Booth has an absolutely extraordinary voice which take you beyond the experience of being listening a simple melody. James is a gift to every human being on earth. Thanks JP for bringing me the best memory of my life, that is having James in my personal music collection. I will always love JAMES (The Band).

give me a fucking break. so you were suicidal and this song helped you . BS. Even music cant stop the suicidal. When you really want to do you cease listening to music. Take wisdom when you hear it. Stop spewing bs

Cuando has entregado todo, y de repente todo cambia, y no sabes que pasa porque todo es silencio, no puedes hacer nada, lo único que te queda es esta canción.
Geez, i have always loved this song. Last year around November 2020, i Reconnected to a men who is and will always be special too me. When we reconnected he will randomly send me this song to listen too. One morning after spending the night with him listening to him. I drove him to his car and we jammed out to this song. Everytime i listen to it he is in my mind. I miss you my J.
When I think about how good this band were, yet they weren't massively on my radar at age 15 in 1993. Unfortunately for these guys and other mid 90s bands, Oasis came along and blew everyone out the water. Saying that, as an older person now, I can't stop listening to them. Great band.
Sometimes being underrated makes the music that much better. And then to put it on for someone who has never even heard of James. Let alone the song and watch their reaction to it. Priceless
There are forces in this world that you have no control of, that makes people decide that they no longer want you in their lives. The rug is pulled from right under your feet; and you’re left wondering ‘what happened? What did I do wrong?’ And you’re left, begging for an explanation. “Say something” you cry out; but, you’re met with silence; because you have been deserted.
I saw James circa '93 at Toad's Place, New Haven, Ct. Amazing! I still listen to this CD today which has some great songs on it. "Say Something" & "Laid" were both equally played & popular where I went to college. I love both songs, but this one's still my favorite to this day.
Timeless, like all their songs....main stream at points but mostly under-rated in every way....Plus it reminds me off Edinburgh 1997 new year, wasted and lost!!! ha braw.....good times
Saw them last year in Salt Lake City, They where not the main act, but to me they were. I only stayed to watch them, mainly because I was starting to get sick, but it was worth it. Currently this song sum up the state of my relationship with my son who is dealing with a lot of issue and depression since being out of high school and is trying to figure out his life.
Such an underrated & underplayed song. It’s amazing with such an important message.

rygi23 you're not. that's exactly what i just did.
Me too
I am singing it few times but in Norway (Bergen)
I'm here with you..this song and vid "grips me to the core"..much love friend
you are not alone. missed my high school days.
My dad had many songs at his funeral.. But this one hits nail on head.. Suicide is terrible thing... Love u dad xx
I'm so sorry. 🫂. Blessings since Meco City
Brother nothing I can say can comfort you but his suffering is over, I hope you have good memories together
Here in 2024, Thank you James for such good memories!
So many hits...yet still underrated
Bs. It was. Just 30 yrs ago
your comment is also so underrated like this masterpiece will said
So very true 🥰
Agree they where unfortunate to be out in the madchester era.. So many great bands at the time.. Great era for music tho
Not by those of us who "know" 😊

You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide?
Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Give me a sign
Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life
Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind
Something about James always hits me dead center, deep in the pit of my stomach. Every time.
A song actually saying something. How refreshing. While there are good songs out there, we could use more artistry like this today in music.
If I had to hear only one album for the rest of my life,this is it (laid)
Tune will never get old song for every generation
I catch myself singing this
more than. Once a week
Keep singing,keep singing,every week
Regardless who's listening,..tonight
together with REM were the best indie bands from 1st half of the 90s. Got Goldmother, Seven and Laid very close to the heart.
What a Classic of late 90s. I was teenager. I miss those days when I listen to this song.
mid 90's Mate
Anyone listening to this in lockdown
I listen this song regularly.... safely in my personal alltimes top 10 songs
So when is this silly calendar thing going to stop? This has gone as bad as the Coronavirus. We are all listening this during this lockdown, a lot of people are here during this 2020 for obvious reasons!
What's next: the "nobody..." comment or the "hold my beer" joke?
I hate this comment and I hate the small minded people who make it.
A better question is where are y’all from? I didn’t know any James fans growing up in Kansas. I had friends in the UK but they’re weren’t big into this band
@@DaveSwayer I know, right.. but just couldn't help myself
Brilliant loved James since I first heard Sit Down back in 90/91. Such happy days ❤️❤️
Aqui en 2024, van a pasar 100 años y estos éxitos se seguirán escuchando...❤
Here I am...will never forget this song...August 2024...south El Monte California

+Breno Moreno good words. What I like(d) about James is the confessional lyrics and conveyance without sarcasm/cynicism, just honesty.
ok!!!!
Breno Moreno
Breno Moreno Que Bello Breno, eh?
'You're as tight as a hunter's trap'
i say that when im fucking my boyfriends ass
I don't know about you guys but everytime i listen to this song i feel like my heart is rip out of my chest...
Thought I was the only one....
Same as

still LOVE this song and its ethereal sound! this album saved my life many times when I was downtrodden and having dire thoughts...
give me a fucking break. so you were suicidal and this song helped you . BS. Even music cant stop the suicidal. When you really want to do you cease listening to music. Take wisdom when you hear it. Stop spewing bs

Good memories
one of the best songs ever written.....i can never just listen to it once, have to replay half a dozen times before i move onto another song.
Beautiful, so beautiful. Thanks, James. et all. x

2020 in November the USA is in dire straits, this man's voice sets me free.
Manchester UK helping people all over they were a great band very underrated! Stay safe!

Beautiful song 👋👋
Listen to aslan a Irish band same just have to be lucky
Not everyone
Please....go see them live....what a show......they sound absolute quality live.
Fantastic band I met my husband listening to these then they disappeared xx
I am a fan of U2 but in 1992 James ranked 1st among my favorite bands.
Tim is one of the great melodic songwriters, these records will last forever.
One of the great songs
This song just sums up my life, loved it since I was a child, still sounds as good as I approach middle age, most underrated band. Fucking love um 🎶💖👌

Absolutely amazing
2022 and the message is clear:
TALK TO EACH OTHER
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
120 minutes MTv I remember those years.......
I love this song
how amazing has his voice been for years !! really want some of James
Kathy BD
Get some, Kathy!
I heard it for the first time in 1999. I miss those days. I had turned 20. It was a beautiful time
Damn I love this band.
THE BEST VIDEO VERSION AND SONG👍🏻
Endless hours spent lost in music, breathtaking and exhilarating. Played on repeat so many times, entire Laid Album but this was my fav song.
2022 and this song still resonates. The emotion and the message never gets old.
Still here at 50 , means more now had them years to think about it , great tune
Reminds me of the best times of my life with the most beautiful person who stole my heart ❤️❤️✨😌
My favorite song from 1993, so much reality in it
I’m here 2024 listening to this gem!
There are forces in this world that you have no control of, that makes people decide that they no longer want you in their lives.
The rug is pulled from right under your feet; and you’re left wondering ‘what happened? What did I do wrong?’
And you’re left, begging for an explanation.
“Say something” you cry out; but, you’re met with silence; because you have been deserted.
I love this song ❤️❤️❤️ thanks James... Greetings from Mexico
One of my favorite songs ever!!!!
1994 - 1995 it turns back time...What a memories...
Something about the band and their music reminds me of U2. It would also sound awesome in Bono´s voice.
💜 ah, James. Truly one of the GOATs
*"take a drug to set you free* /
*strange fruit from a forbidden tree"* 🎶
😔😔😔😔a se años escuché esa canción en un estereo Alpine un coche antiguo y casa abandonada y asta penas la volví a escuchar
it's good to be underrated
Always have loved this song. Bought the album when it first came out. But now it fully has meaning with my current situation.
29th August 2022 and still loving your tunes ...💙💐
the tune combined with the video just blow me away
Cuando eramos felices y no lo sabiamos qué épocas!!
