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.
+Tasha Insertlastnamehere hopefully he wins Rock album of the year, rock song for hold back the river and best new artist for this year's grammy. He deserves to win.
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.
tbh I love where James is at right now. known but unknown. his talent is being shared and that's all that matters. fame doesn't determine your talent. ❤️
I didn't think it was possible for him to sound even better than he did in his album. Until I stumbled across this acoustic vid. Love his pureness and intensity.
I could just live in his voice...he brings on the feeling of the utmost heartbreak and yet a feeling of no a care in the world. Absolute amazing talent this man has.
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.
omg his voice is amazing!!!! Only few musicians are able to create such soulful and rousing songs with a really deep meaning. I am so glad that more and more people are recognizing what makes a good musician.
I don't know how he writes such beautiful songs so effortlessly. You have to know what it feels like to write songs like that, he cannot have known! He is only in his early 20's right?
its not everyday that you come across a singer and like each and every song...this guy is that ...I mean seriously can anybody dislike him? I hope he makes it big just the way he is singing and enjoying with his guitar ....
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.
The rawness of James' voice is beyond reason... I totally enjoyed this video. Who else did the back-up vocals after the phrase when "we were on fire", and went like, "oooh hooh hoooh"?
So much passion! I absolutely love his voice and how he just presents himself and gets lost in the song. Amazing song, can't wait too see all the success that comes your way, James!
yes! Thank you Christopher Bailey for always choosing very talented artists for the Burberry shows. I discovered Roo Panes and now James Bay thanks to Christopher
Best young singer out there. James bay should be lloked up to by any aspiring artist. So much respect for this dude. Wow. He sounds like the black singer who invented soul music. Love it
Love this video and song my favorite of all he does!!! This song, No hype, No make overs just a man and his guitar hitin a bad ass blues tune!!! This is when you know what they got is real!!! He needs to do more like this, just keepin it real!!!💗💗💗
Please Please don't you dare changing!! you're amazing!!! still not corrupted by the music industry which turns unique to average! that's what I was in need for so long!!
THIS MAN IS A GIFT TO MANKIND! HE WAS ABLE TO PENETRATE AN EMOTIONAL ASPECT INSIDE OF ME THROUGH HIS MUSIC. AND I AM INSPIRED TO PURSUE MY DREAM IN MUSIC BECAUSE OF HIM.
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.
Real talk, I love Ed Sheeran, but I love James Bay's music so much more and I have no idea why he's not international yet. Somebody please explain that to me. 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.
Oh, wow! Just discovered James...I'm absolutely floored by his amazing musical talent, his intensity & song writing abilities...his sings move me and Omg! his voice! Love! Love! Love! 😚😚😚😍
james, i've been listening to this song for.. half an hour now. it's awesome. you're awesome. keep being awesome and recording awesome songs. i'd go to the UK just to listen to you live. cheers from croatia =)
Who is listening to this absolute gem in 2024?
🙋♀️❤
I listen all the time 🔥
A healthy dose of him every now and again, good for iron
From Brazil
Dope song takes me back
these kind of talented people need to be more known
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.
well he did just win the Critic's Choice Award, so that will definitely help!
That huskiness and growl to his voice is addictive
it's amazing how you can hear the intensity and sincerity through his vocals.
BRILLIANT. I love this guy. 2015 is going to be the year of James Bay.
***** Likely after his BRIT award and now that he's going on tour with Taylor Swift
he is brilliant he is so coooool!!!
so cool!!!!!!!!!. He have swag
i love the style how he singing
Bh
He does not get the recognition he deserves.
IDFWU He does
+Ed Well, he needs more of it.
+IDFWU Million views on each video, I think is enough
+HoshChannel Never enough
+Tasha Insertlastnamehere hopefully he wins Rock album of the year, rock song for hold back the river and best new artist for this year's grammy. He deserves to win.
I love how pure and raw this is. Just him and his guitar in the nature
+NEZ yeah and me hes incredible
you call this nature? There are lots houses on the background
نزيه just like a cowboy and his horse smoking Malboro in the desert.
This wasnt recorded here. Cant record sound this well like that.
A part of me wants him to become super famous but another part of me wishes we could just keep him our little secret..
yee
Well he is mainstream now
A little late for that
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.
FEEL LIKE IM WATCHING ONE OF THE BEST AUDITION TAPE IVE EVER SEEN AND IM READY TI SIGN HIM!!!( though I’m not in the business of that)….
tbh I love where James is at right now. known but unknown. his talent is being shared and that's all that matters. fame doesn't determine your talent. ❤️
Could listen to this man sing all day and never ever get tired of it. So talented.
World needs more musicians like James Bay. His voice is just... so great!!! And he's able to stand on the top of a hill and sing his heart out.
he has such an amazing voice. there should be more live/acoustic sessions with him on youtube.
Everyday I'm so thankful for music like this. This and Noah Clouds ' With handfuls of dust' are all i've been listening to today.
yes
I agree
So glad I watched that live video by Noah
wow
Anne Redding o
ugh I love this man.. his voice is incredible and he is soooo good looking!!!
He is amazing!!!!
You are amazing. Have you ever heard about Marina and The Diamonds?
James arthur

He's just the perfect little human being!
All is right in the world for these few minutes.
THIS IS MUSIC...EVERYTHING OUT THERE NOWADAYS IS GARBAGE! Love you James! x
IF K@
IFKR

That's a bit farfetched, his music is good, but there are a whole lot that is decent too.
What beautiful voice!
love his music helps me with my anxiety 😊
Him and Allen Stone voice. OMG! That energy ! too intense. . .
u tube
I didn't think it was possible for him to sound even better than he did in his album. Until I stumbled across this acoustic vid. Love his pureness and intensity.
I could just live in his voice...he brings on the feeling of the utmost heartbreak and yet a feeling of no a care in the world. Absolute amazing talent this man has.
1MsAshAly hi 25th for me 30th Clooney George strait

truly phenomenal singing.
Killed it, nothing more to say.
I just became a new James Bay fan!! It is so hard to find artist to listen with raw talent like this. He is absolutely amazing!!!
i love the strength in his voice
Como me encanta este hombre!! su voz, su música, su pasión al cantar todooooo *-*
Vanessa Bustinza sin duda amiga estoy de acuerdo..
dude the sound of his guitar just kills me
Music like this deserves way more attention
This guy is really growing on me - true gem!!!
omg his voice is amazing!!!! Only few musicians are able to create such soulful and rousing songs with a really deep meaning. I am so glad that more and more people are recognizing what makes a good musician.
He sounds soooo good live acoustic so glad he is making the music that i love to listen too!! :)
It's brilliant that this is all filmed in one take. It just proves this guy has such raw talent!
He's young, fresh and very good... Yeah, the Boy Can SING !!
Plus he's got a new LP... "Chaos and the Calm." ... Released 3-20-15
nice
Free Fall - Personally I like his EP's that he released before the LP. Not so commercial sounding w/out all the instruments.
I don't know how he writes such beautiful songs so effortlessly. You have to know what it feels like to write songs like that, he cannot have known! He is only in his early 20's right?
Holy Shit... Thank you Lord for this talent 🙌
Such a talented singer!
I just hope fangirls don't ruin it.
One of the best Artist in the past 20 years. Imagine... he writes and sings his own stuff. Thank you Mr. Bay for bringing back REAL MUSIC!!!!!!!
its not everyday that you come across a singer and like each and every song...this guy is that ...I mean seriously can anybody dislike him? I hope he makes it big just the way he is singing and enjoying with his guitar ....
He's on tour with Taylor swift right now actually!
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.
so raw, so beautiful, so pure! Oh god, this is what love feels like!
is it just me who finds the way he moves his head adorable
+donald trumps love muffin everything about him is adorable
I love how he sounds the same live (is this classed as live???) as he does in studio.
The rawness of James' voice is beyond reason... I totally enjoyed this video. Who else did the back-up vocals after the phrase when "we were on fire", and went like, "oooh hooh hoooh"?
You deserve to be one of the biggest names in music so fucking gifted
1:50 That smile
the way he loses him self in the song
You nailed it... The really great ones enter a zone most recognize ,but few can reach.....
i absolutely adore his voice and his songs
I love this music, this album. Hope you come to Brazil in 2016 💙✨
I'm glad you exist.
THIS is what God given TRUE TALENT sounds like!

I love that guitar.

Simplesmente perfeito, voz e violão

So much passion! I absolutely love his voice and how he just presents himself and gets lost in the song. Amazing song, can't wait too see all the success that comes your way, James!
one of the best things i've heard so far. totally stunning.
I can feel the main stream and vintage style in his song at the same time. totally amazing.
he is bloody brilliant! this is him live - many artists nowadays don't sound this good even in a recording studio
Thank you Burberry, just thank you!
I just watched it too and fell in love with him right away.
yes! Thank you Christopher Bailey for always choosing very talented artists for the Burberry shows. I discovered Roo Panes and now James Bay thanks to Christopher
Yap.
:)

Amazing!
I love this song. It’s energic, personal! 💙
Best young singer out there. James bay should be lloked up to by any aspiring artist. So much respect for this dude. Wow. He sounds like the black singer who invented soul music. Love it

THIS MAN IS A GIFT TO MANKIND! HE WAS ABLE TO PENETRATE AN EMOTIONAL ASPECT INSIDE OF ME THROUGH HIS MUSIC. AND I AM INSPIRED TO PURSUE MY DREAM IN MUSIC BECAUSE OF HIM.
Him and Ed Sheeran should do a collab. Their voices could play off of eachother well
😏😏😏 your wish has been granted
maryjoysanderson really!?
They did a live performance of Let It Go together! 🎉
maryjoysanderson that's awesome!

This song blows me away every time I hear it.

Your voice.Your songs.Sometimes I Think that I live only for listening to you❤️
I fall in love with this song more and more each time I listen to it.
he is so unique. seems super young. brilliant musician, in my opinion.

Bellariht Serna Isnt he international? I am from Turkey and listening James
Check out John Mayer, u might like him too... 7 times grammy award winner, but he's been there way longer than ed
I meant he isn't as mainstream as Ed.
