My husband and I danced to this at our wedding. We made our own playlist of songs and this was first, so I kind of consider it our song. Beautiful memories!
This song came out shortly after my Grandmother passed away. She was my first and dearest best friend, and all these years later I still cry when I hear this song, thinking of her.
Sorry to hear this, bless you, your Grandma will always know the happy you, so play this and think of her she will smile I am sure, 1 day you will be reunited, but not yet as you have a long life ahead, but she will know this, God be with you.
James regularly meshes smart, deep, uplifting lyrics with beautiful, catchy music better than most bands could ever dream of on their best day. This song is just another example.
My favourite band of the nineties I was 22 when this came out and this my fav song off the album Seven, still baffles me why the album Seven isn't in the all time top hundred ever albums cause every song is amazing, I still listen to the same cassette now that I bought back then lol.
floydonian makes me remember my first love who destroyed my heart. I shared my love of this album with her to show her my love but, in time it was betrayed. That's why it's a great album but would never vote for it in any poll.
So agree with these true comments. To me, a very underated band that has made several great listening albums and stunning singles that seem to be forgotten.
Correct lyrics: Blow me away Was that love you declared Only a word Love can mean anything Understand the world we're living in Oceans apart What's that view from your wave Beautiful craft Weather and change Understand the world we're living in Love can mean anything God made love to me Soothed away my gravity Made me a pair of angel's wings Clear vision and some magic things God is love to me Thank you for those things Understand the world we're living in Love can mean anything Darling I'm open Unguarded Unbroken Now we've done our time We can drift away Like the heavy cloud With the weight of rain Understand the world we're living in Love can mean anything Understand the world we're living in Love can change anything
James were never underestimated they were massive 20 years ago huge we wee all on it.Best years for music was the 90's the rave scene and indy music wicked wicked times who was ever lucky enough to see and get involved in it.
+Adam Mills James was my favourite band back then when I was in my twenties most of my friends were into INXS or KLf and the rave scene and never understood what I saw in James they only ever liked one song (Sit down) but could never appreciate a talented group of musicians, need to admit the best album (cassette) I ever bought was Seven.
+Adam Mills yep must admit I still have that on cassette too just one of a few cassettes I've managed to save over the years, think I've got about 4 U2 cassettes.
Blow me away Was that love you declared Only a word Love can mean anything I understand the world, we're living in Oceans apart What's that view from your wave Beautiful craft Weather and change I understand the world, we're living in Love can mean anything God made love to me Soothed away my gravity Made me a pair of angel's wings Clear vision and some magic things God is love to me Thank you for those things I understand the world, we're living in Love can mean anything Darling, I'm open Unguarded, unbroken Now we've done our time We can drift away Like the heavy cloud With the weight of rain I understand the world, we're living in Love can mean anything I understand the world, we're living in Love can change anything I understand the world, we're living in Love can mean anything I understand the world, we're living in Love can change anything

Escucho muchisima musica , y soy casi melomano... sin ser nadie mas que un ser humano... considero que James es de otra galaxy...me provoca cosas preciosas! Hace poco cumplimos con algunos amigos el sueño de verlos en BSAS .... Argentina... si bien habia poca gente , fue una fiesta!!!!!! GRACIAS JAMES!!!! tim booth.. and band!! es mi banda predilecta.. la mas poetica la mas energetica!
Apparently the deluge of water at 2.10 was unintended. It was supposed to be a shower to soak the band but not the deluge which sent all the kit flying. They did improvise well however.
lastly Embrace looking as you are another track of brilliance that is hidden deeply away in the back of peoples wardrobes. Class!. take care all. stay happy.
Interesting fact: the seven males at the beginning were due to all have their eyes open, but one selected person had different coloured eyes that weren't noticed from photographs beforehand, so we all had to close our eyes.
I remember being in a james T-Shirt coming out of Amsterdam airport at 21 1994 looking cool as fuck. The arrogance of my youth was subtle but effective. Drug search in the Doctor Martins for some strange reason but hey ho! Brushed off and straight over to Quest in Wolverhampton amzing days. Amazing days I am still cool as fuck but a great deal older now. :) :) :)
so this alternative version was only recorded for the video or is it available somewhere else ? best of,compilations,whatever . i can get the mp3 file from youtube but it's crap quality .
9 years ago , still no answer . nice just listened to both version again after a few years and,yes,this mix is still vastly superior to the "regular" one
My husband and I danced to this at our wedding. We made our own playlist of songs and this was first, so I kind of consider it our song. Beautiful memories!
The trumpet melody that closes out each chorus is the epitome of unrequited joy.
On stage he is the best!
This song came out shortly after my Grandmother passed away. She was my first and dearest best friend, and all these years later I still cry when I hear this song, thinking of her.

floydonian I was 17, can't believe the years have flown by, but still happy days though:)
floydonian makes me remember my first love who destroyed my heart. I shared my love of this album with her to show her my love but, in time it was betrayed. That's why it's a great album but would never vote for it in any poll.
Agree seven is one of the albums of all time. Most underated band ever
So agree with these true comments. To me, a very underated band that has made several great listening albums and stunning singles that seem to be forgotten.
totally agree. whole album is soooo good. So under rated most people have never even heard of James
This is musical perfection! Gave me goosebumps when I first heard it and it still does!
What an amazing voice!
Correct lyrics:
Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word
Love can mean anything
Understand the world we're living in
Oceans apart
What's that view from your wave
Beautiful craft
Weather and change
Understand the world we're living in
Love can mean anything
God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Made me a pair of angel's wings
Clear vision and some magic things
God is love to me
Thank you for those things
Understand the world we're living in
Love can mean anything
Darling
I'm open
Unguarded
Unbroken
Now we've done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain
Understand the world we're living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world we're living in
Love can change anything
"Understand the world we're living in
Love can change anything"
"love can change anything"
Well said tim.
James were never underestimated they were massive 20 years ago huge we wee all on it.Best years for music was the 90's the rave scene and indy music wicked wicked times who was ever lucky enough to see and get involved in it.
+Adam Mills We were lucky people to have been onboard for it was a special time indeed mate.
+Adam Mills James was my favourite band back then when I was in my twenties most of my friends were into INXS or KLf and the rave scene and never understood what I saw in James they only ever liked one song (Sit down) but could never appreciate a talented group of musicians, need to admit the best album (cassette) I ever bought was Seven.
Agreed!!!!😊
However, the Joshua Tree album was quality.
+Adam Mills yep must admit I still have that on cassette too just one of a few cassettes I've managed to save over the years, think I've got about 4 U2 cassettes.
This is the first version of Seven on an exclusive produced video the way that Tim sings is very different that the Seven sang on the album and live !
Do you know which album this version appears on as a bonus or something?
Yes, I think so, too. Beautiful intelligent gentleman and great lyricist. LOVE Tim, LOVE James.

I think Tim Booth is one of the best lyricists ever, if not THE best.
He's also a great dancer too. Just like Morrisey. And both men are from Manchester.
Yes. I wholeheartedly agree.
I tottally agree with you , he's the best lyricist of the pop rock! 👍
Glennie and others write lots..
He is the best i ever heard the mans voice is awsome
Love can change anything.
+The God Effect quoting from some inspirational words :)
2021. 51 years old james still awesome

The vocals are different than on the original album....like it.
Makes me want to cry with deep sorrow and succeed with vigour simultaneously.
James and Tim are Timeless Are Family Love them so Much with Classics like this🤝💙👍🙌
Every song James bring out and albums are different all the time 19 studio albums best current band out there
One of the songs that marks me the the most!
this song is full of nostalgia, It kills me
Saudades de uma época que não volta mais,só volta momentaneamente quando vejo essas obras primas!
In my humble opinion God besides love is the seventh sense of all beings (human and non-human also). Love James, Love God.
this band got me through high school "SIT DOWN " next to me
7 is Heaven.
Yes that is why the reference. :)
Thanks VEVO, for sharing james with the rest of us!
2020 me encanta James 💗💗💗👏👏😘💗
@@Dan-ug2wz que sea Seven 💙
Fantastic album but all I ever hear is 'Sit Down'. Had this playing in my room the night before I left home. Still has bittersweet memories.....
understand the world we're living in.......
still busy with it...

Best british band of all time, followed closely by the Manics and Doves
Don't forget Feeder too. Travis are up there too.
I can't scroll past this without mentioning The Smiths.
1 Suede 2 James 3 Manics
Tan mágica y etérea. Trompeta celestial. Tim Booth at his best
My favourite song
Excelente versión de una hermosísima canción. God made love to me. God is love to me.
love can mean anything
Apparently the deluge of water at 2.10 was unintended. It was supposed to be a shower to soak the band but not the deluge which sent all the kit flying. They did improvise well however.
utterly fabulous...
Love James! I was 11 years old when i saw them live, my first live concert. Radiohead opened for them! :D
Was it in 1992, in Belenenses pavillion? If so, I was there, too :)
Carla Reis was defo 92 tour Radiohead opened I saw them at Portsmouth

Beautiful...
all building up to the next and best album
Love can and will mean anything ▪️
James at their best..

Love.
lastly Embrace looking as you are another track of brilliance that is hidden deeply away in the back of peoples wardrobes. Class!. take care all. stay happy.
Great song and sound
Beautiful 😙
Album mix wins by far!
I'm in this video at 6 seconds, remember doing this video vividly...
Interesting fact: the seven males at the beginning were due to all have their eyes open, but one selected person had different coloured eyes that weren't noticed from photographs beforehand, so we all had to close our eyes.
por su energia poetica el mejor grupo de musica
my late father likes this song. he died in 2005 he was 68.
Amo James e 80"
The album that sucked me in as a forever fan
I will dance this song with my wife under the sky and the stars, someday
Me encanta!!!! muy buena!!
Gran tema !!!!!
Esta banda toca em minha discoteca... Amo James...
É minha música favorita do grupo!
Best James Track Ever?!?!

Sometimes gives it a fucking good run for it's money.
Tie between Seven and Waltzing Along for me
No doubt
Love the song and the video but the remix is a better version xx
