      I wish that for him too, but... You know, it's not always that someone need to be such famous.. 'Cause fame make people go stupid. It's not certain, but most of times it is.

      I suggest you go check out the Mahogany Session if you haven't already, alot of "raw" and real music like this.

    Drifting apart, getting harder to hold you
    Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold
    Are we burning out?
    Swept out of sight, rolling up on an ocean
    Let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
    If our hearts are alive, maybe then they might
    Send us back to the sun
    Now I know, I know
    That we're losing light, our love is dying
    Out cold on the floor
    Like a fallen star that shines no more
    Take, take me back to where it was before
    When we were on fire, fire
    Head down, heading underground feeling wasted
    Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it
    Let's light it up
    Streets are alive now, and everything's bracing
    You're on my mind, running in my veins fueling the flame
    Let's start it again
    And I know, I know
    That we're losing light, our love is dying
    Out cold on the floor
    Like a fallen star that shines no more
    Take, take me back to where it was before
    When we were on fire, fire
    We were on fire, fire
    Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no
    That we're burning down
    Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no
    That we're burning now
    I know, I know we're losing light and our love is dying
    Take me, take me home
    Back to where we was before when we were on fire, fire
    And I know, I know that we're losing light, our love is dying
    Out cold on the floor like a fallen star that shines no more
    Take, take me back to where it was before when we were on fire, fire
    When we were on fire, fire.

  • @squidy2343
    @squidy2343 7 років тому +7

    If someone asks me why I love him so much I'd direct them to this video, because it shows why perfectly. All he needs is a guitar, an acoustic one at that, and he'll do the rest to bring his songs alive. That emotion in his voice and the passion in his guitar playing are all he needs.

    Reminds me the type of artist's like City and Colour, William Fitzsimmons, Neil Young, Noah Gunderson, and John Mayer. He has a very unique style of writing his music, very catchy and very different flow to it that it still makes it quiet emotional.

      @CertifiedDabster 9 років тому +8

      In all honesty, James Bay is on a completely different level than Ed Sheeran. James Bay has exceeded most singer/song writers of today's time. Plus, he has a one of a kind voice, I feel like this is why he hasn't had anyone sing on any of his songs yet. These songs are total reflections of his heart breaks and struggles. No one could hop on any of these so gs with him and do it justice solely because they wouldn't be his emotions at that point.

James Bay even looks dead gorg singing, that's just a plus. Guitar, mega talent, and looks. Hells of sexy right here. Love his music so much!!!!

      Ed has been around A LOT longer....ed has been building his career for 8+ years... James has been on the scene maybe 2? as far as the work they've each put in its not really comparable. James is really new. Ed has been around the block many times.

      Okay, calm the fuck down. I have an opinion and am entitled to one as you are too. Don't like my comment, there are PLENTY more that you can read. They are the same genre, not the same style, but nonetheless the same genre. I'm, not familiar with how long each of them has been around, I'm just basing myself off of the music, what I hear, and what speaks to ME. 'kay, thank you, go sit down.
