I'm so glad The X-files introduced me to this song over 20 years ago. It's amazing when I think about it. For over twenty years I've been listening to a song that I heard in a TV show. The first time I heard this was (I think) 1999 when I was really young. It helped me through my teenage depression (I suffer from a mild case of autism). It helped me when I felt lost as a father. Through changes I had to make in life, like moving far away from my family and friends. Through getting a diagnose for a chronic disease. Through being cheated on and eventually through divorce. It was always hard for me to connect with my feelings, and especially of those around me. This song helped me in many ways. I owe so much to this one song, which is something I never thought I'd say. Thank you James for giving me something I can share with thousands of people for years to come.
Same here! I heard this song in the X-Files episode about 20 years ago, and have loved it ever since. I think about that episode every time. This song really spoke to me about my beliefs and how I coped with trauma. It's amazing to know that there is a community of people connected in this weird niche way.
That's beautiful mate... seen them last night I used to play that when my son died aged 4 because I prayed to god and he died so I don't believe in religion just your own faith ..hope your wee boy loves james like your dad
I almost forgot this song existed, but like many others I was recently watching an old X-Files episode and instantly recognised it as a James track. I then remembered I even had a copy of the track on the original tape album, so had to dig it out of the loft as soon as I could; now it's rightly back in my regular playlist. One of my favourite James tracks, personally a very underrated group as shown by the low viewing figures for the video. For me it's one of those great tracks that you can play and play again on repeat.
My sister, a beautiful and pure individual, died last night in a fatal car accident. She said she wanted this song played at her funeral... Such a good choice Ali. I'll always love you
Ring, ring the bells Wake the town Everyone is sleeping Shout at the crowd Wake them up This anger's deeper than sleep. Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me. Break, break the code Concentrate Let the doors swing open See through all your walls All your floors Now you're in deeper than sleep. Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me. When you let me fall Grew my own wings Now I'm as tall as the sky When you let me drown Grew gills and fins Now I'm as deep as the sea When you let me die My spirit's free There's nothing challenging me.
i don't usually say things like "such and such brought me here", but in this case i'll do it because the X Files was awesome, so yeah, the X Files brought me here. many years ago.
In 94 or 95 me, my three brothers and a group of friends went to see James do a warm up gig in Torquay before they played a huge show at Milton Keynes, that gig is still one of the, if not the greatest I ever had the pleasure to see.
Seen them last night he knows how to get the crowd in his palm ... unbelievable he's been teetotal since 21 does meditation yoga and spiritual dancing..absolutely legend
Haven’t heard this song in 20 years. Am crying like a baby. Wtf?? James: thanks for being there through the thick and thin. And a big thanks for existing.
This song couldn't be more perfect for everything happening right now. Most of us are going to feel like life as we now know it as a death, but we're actually going to be reborn (wake up)...we will be given what's been denied each and every one of us. Keep your hearts open and love your brothers and sisters...live every day with hope, faith and kindness in your hearts. Thank you James, for your amazing wisdom and the hope you've brought to me at least 💙💙💙 I love each and every one of you reading this 💙💙💙💖💖💖 xxx
This song was the first for me, then listening to more of their works actually became a catalyst for me finding Jesus! God bless and much love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💚💚💚
I just re-discoverd some of your songs. I loved this one 30 years ago, and here we are, in 2023 and I still LOVE it!! Brilliant! Just as Tomorrow, Born of frustration, etc.. Thanks for the great music! ❤
Remember the days when good music was created? It would trickle out like a spring from a mountain, into our ears and minds. You just expected it; silly us, we were so complacent.
everybody come one here after have watch the excellente episode of x files D.P.O S3ep3 , the bands of 90s years just the best bands of all of time for me
I'm a British male over 50 years old and finally, many years after my old pals , I don't think that James are a total waste of my rapidly diminishing hearing . Cool, thanks folk. Fine wine.
Went to watch James first thing we did after lockdown certainly rediscovered James wot aband wot a band watched them again this year Newcastle City Hall 40th anerversary tour then going to see again in Darlington August
I must have listened to this song a thousand times over the years, and only noticed today that at 2:17 you 'borrowed' this from Don Henley's outro on Boys of Summer. 😂 well worth a borrow ❤
ouvi essa musica em um episódio de arquivo x (mesmo estando em off,continuo fã) e desde então,ouço repetidas vezes e não canso,james voz linda,toque d guitarra q vai na alma,ouço e realmente viajo na música por lugares q só a minha mente me leva.❤❤😍
I freaking love X files and this song!!! Thank you Mulder and Scully! The truth is out there! ❤

Listen to Robert Plant's first few solo albums too
My first time hearing the song a few moments ago , in the same exact x-files as you🤘🏽 Been getting hooked to the show for weeks now
Same here! I heard this song in the X-Files episode about 20 years ago, and have loved it ever since. I think about that episode every time. This song really spoke to me about my beliefs and how I coped with trauma. It's amazing to know that there is a community of people connected in this weird niche way.
Me too
Same here, xFiles S3E3 🖖
One of the BEST songs EVER ❤❤❤
My dad brought me here 10 years ago. And now I hope I can bring my newborn son here.
That's beautiful mate... seen them last night I used to play that when my son died aged 4 because I prayed to god and he died so I don't believe in religion just your own faith ..hope your wee boy loves james like your dad
I came here from the X-files too. This is a great song and it reminds me of a Swedish band called Broder Daniel.
Needs a few billion likes this one!

xfiles is how I learned about this song, I have been playing it since, Jack Black was in that one
Watching Xfiles for the first time and just heard this. Absolutely incredible!
Same here 😂
@@chrisphilipps Oh my gourd. Are we like besties now? 😂😽
My sister, a beautiful and pure individual, died last night in a fatal car accident. She said she wanted this song played at her funeral... Such a good choice Ali. I'll always love you
MrCarrotKing she’s in heaven sister 👍
I'm sorry for your loss,
So sorry ! your sister now there in the sky and the stars!
MrCarrotKing So sad.
my condolences
Ring, ring the bells
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This anger's deeper than sleep.
Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
Break, break the code
Concentrate
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep.
Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me.
Is it walls and floors, or wars and flaws?
At 1:39 - 1.44
Therenegadeaussie walls and floors
Thanks!
Class song and lyrics.
i don't usually say things like "such and such brought me here", but in this case i'll do it because the X Files was awesome, so yeah, the X Files brought me here. many years ago.
Yes 💕
Same over here
Yes, S3E4, D.O.P, when the jukebox sings and the murder begins, can I say it is just so weirdly sexy!
@@user-yp4ql1hu2v Weirdly sexy is exactly what it is lol. Very well put.
I no longer feel like God is watching over me.
But somehow feel He's closer to me than ever.
Tnx James

End ov chat x
God bless the 90s and all who experienced it
Seen them last night he knows how to get the crowd in his palm ... unbelievable he's been teetotal since 21 does meditation yoga and spiritual dancing..absolutely legend
They played in Darlington last weekend and this was the best song of the night for me. Tim still gets those high notes.
The intro of D.P.O. (X-Files Season 3 Episode 3) might be the greatest 3 minutes of film I have EVER seen...
Haven’t heard this song in 20 years. Am crying like a baby. Wtf??
James: thanks for being there through the thick and thin. And a big thanks for existing.
@Bort awesome lyrics. I don’t drink, at all.
Been a fan since Jim one !
Saw them first in the early 80's
Sound track to my life - thanks for everything ‼️
This song couldn't be more perfect for everything happening right now. Most of us are going to feel like life as we now know it as a death, but we're actually going to be reborn (wake up)...we will be given what's been denied each and every one of us.

Thank you James, for your amazing wisdom and the hope you've brought to me at least 💙💙💙 I love each and every one of you reading this 💙💙💙💖💖💖 xxx
If you haven't heard it already, listen to one of his other songs "Getting away with it (all messed up)"
This man is a legend 💙💙💙
This song was the first for me, then listening to more of their works actually became a catalyst for me finding Jesus!
God bless and much love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💚💚💚
One of the best bands out of Manchester, love James, seven and laid best albums
thank you X Files.. such a great song
I was also amazed Mulder wrote this
The X Files brought me here :)
Lightning boy episode
Me too. I watched an episode last week with this song playing at the start. Very powerful.

And the same.
Synchronicity meets syndication.
But unfortunately, it's not that version was in the X-Flies. :(
I just re-discoverd some of your songs. I loved this one 30 years ago, and here we are, in 2023 and I still LOVE it!! Brilliant! Just as Tomorrow, Born of frustration, etc.. Thanks for the great music! ❤
Still playing live too - I saw them last year
The X-Files brought me here. ep 3, season 3. amazing ep, amazing James.
Remember the days when good music was created? It would trickle out like a spring from a mountain, into our ears and minds. You just expected it; silly us, we were so complacent.

April 2022 watching the X Files remind me of this song, bringing memories from the best time ever, the 90's, Love this song

When you let me fall, grew my own wings, now im as tall as the sky.
The 90's..... Kinda like the 60's but better in every way ;-)

Now I'm 44. Where are the years going ?? 😢
And the 90's still sucked ass.
Enjoy life and be happy! That's what matters
Got to keep awake to what is happening! Never a truer word spoken......... Absolute class :)

Love this so so so much....
DPO -X Files No doubt has the best episode introduction of the entire series.
Uhhhh X FILES BABY👽
Amo demais esse som
Uma das melhores músicas do X-Files
i feel a new record coming on
I love how this pre 2005 stuff has some of the most creative and exotic effects and video editing, everything nowadays is so bland.
