He clearly doesn't care about showing his emotions on stage, He's amazing singer and writes songs from his heart. Wish other singers is like him when he shows emotions.
@John Guy~~ you’re so correct! His “down to earth” persona is something you just don’t see that often. He’s one hell of a singer, and should clearly be recognized for his incredible voice and on stage performances! He’s definitely (in my book) the Best singer ever!!
That was one of my favourite performances by James, it is so vulnerable and raw and that isn't easy to do in front of a whole crowd. He is so connected to the song and his emotions, its really beautiful and incredible.
He's showing such raw emotion here... I always knew this song meant something big to him, but I didn't realize just how strong it was until I saw this performance... Wow.
What an awesome man. He is what a friend of mine says "A Wordsmith". Beautiful song, so melancholy and his face when he sings the song is divine. Thank you James. You are a honey.
This performance gets me every time...got tears in my eyes...:( Living with a singer & musician for years now I know singing songs this personal isn´t that easy...No wonder James is nearly crying....he´s putting his heart out for us in full view....Love you,James!! Never change!
Words can not define this song, it is so beautiful....This man is truly blessed by the angels of heaven when he was born, beauty, talented and good soul.....,
This is why I love James so much. He just doesn't stand there singing a song, he want to tell us something with his songs, and the songs are written from his heart, you can see that in this video. Thank you James for your song.
It look likes he is remember someone who he loves a lot. His voice change some moments and when he ends the song he is almost crying. This song all the times remember me a great love.
One of the most gorgeous songs I have ever heard........ For an artist who always plays an instrument when he sings, by stripping himself of these instruments, he is placing himself in the most vulnerable position -- both with the words he is singing and the manner in which he is delivering this very poignant and heartfelt message. Perfection. Sending a hug to James ......
At one of his concerts I saw him wipe some tears during the performance of this song.The lyrics and the song already make you emotional let alone seeing him wipe his tears !! He's simply amazing.
For me, this is what music is all about. Pure emotion, the song clearly means something to him. This is an outstanding performance and just 1 million views does not do it justice at all.
It's really nice to read all the great comments about this song on here; and what it means to people. I think this was the first time James played 'If time is all I have' live. I wasn't at 1 Mayfair in London, but love this video clip - because you can tell it wasn't an act, or a commercial video; it was James simply singing his heart out. I don't know any other artist that can quite do that (or is as able) as James Blunt. I guess that's why so many of us can connect with his great songs!
no flash clothes or lights just raw talent why can't we have more people like this...some poeple might say this is sad music but this is amazin and from the heart !
He's the absolute best!!! I went backstage with my son once after his concert. He was a gentleman. I'll pay to go backstage again when he tours. He's brilliant!!
That was really good I must say. The line "if time is all I have, then i'll waste it all on you" is just inspired and he does a great job of singing it. Nice.
Omg poor James, I can't see him like this and i can't help cry everytime i see this vid. I just want to go and hug him and tell him that everything's going to be ok, you can see his sorrow through this song. James you have all your fans and we all support you, i know that this might not change your feelings but i just want you to know that the love we feel for you it's really strong. I want the new album NOW!
A deeply moving performance from such an amazing artist... this song goes straight to the heart... We all should be thankful to James Blunt for sharing his soul and talent with all of us.
it hits home to someone like me who has had their heart shattered. every word of that song is a blow to the heart, but i can't help but love it.....truley love it
James Blunt is the King... the songs like You r Beautiful, Goodbye my Lover, If Time is All I have.... just awesome lyrics... which touch deep within... i have cried for all these 3 songs.... he touches that heart beat
There's great depth and sadness soldiers experience. JB knows how to create something beautiful, using the gift of his beautiful voice and inner drive to share it so generously. Train's Pat Monahan did this at the beginning of his career too.
He sings with his soul. Nobody sings this way anymore! And this song.. is one of the best songs i've ever heard. I realy LOVE James Blunt. He is just the tipe of guy that i would sit with him and talk all night..
So thankful we have a few artiest left that sing from there soul! Music is dead and dieing! The hard times we have been and are facing will bring soulful music back. we hope!
James Every new song I have heard from you simply amazes me. You must have the deepest heart of any man born. Your mother may worry about you but your love appears to be endless...she should be proud... not ask what she did wrong...but how she did it right!
2018 here and still coming back to this video from time to time, crazy emotional performance by James!! And who in their sick mind could have disliked this video?!!
You really feel touched. He is a brilliant singer. I love him! This song makes me so sad. He is brilliant! He sings with great emotion. It touches you. He is very talented!
I cried at so many Blunt-songs, I'm still crying at his songs and I will always cry when I'll hear a new song of him. Thats the magic of James Blunts songs... They make people cry... because they are so touching James Blunt
Dear James, if you read this message, I was introduced to your songs by Iam Tongi covering “Monsters”. Since then I’ve been listening to your music and watching the video when available. There is a quality to your songs that reaches beyond the differences in each person and touches deeply into the soul. It reminds us that we all have joy, pain, fears and emotions. The words sink into the psyche and trigger our own emotional responses. I see your pain, and I feel it with you. I see your joy, and my heart lifts. You freely give us your tears, and we are moved beyond our own pain by the depth of your great heart. I’m so grateful to have found you. May God bless you always. ❤
I feel really sorry for him.Looked like he was about to cry several times plus after he went out of the light he dried off a tear. You can just about touch his pain... His songs has helped me thru rough times...very emotional.... Thank you,James....
This man is incredible..... He makes me cry every time i hear his songs. Second most emotional song after 'Goodbye my Lover'. he even inspired me to learn guitar.... Hats off to him. His voice and the pain it carries is unmatchable....... Simply Love him.
It is so peculiar, how the people that give you the best moments of your life, also give you the worst pain you have ever recieved in your life... He really feels the song... Lyrics that strike right through your heart.
He really does bare his soul when he sings. Nice to see him just singing, and not "hiding" behind his guitar or piano. Yet another beautiful song, James. Good job. :)
Its so amazing. I dont know why he doesnt have more views or fans. Raw emotion and some seriously good singing. Not to mention this song could get you tears and has beautiful lyrics.
it is obvious that someone has left a huge whole in his life but at least we get all this beautiful music from what is obviously a very hard time in his life. So happy he wrote all these wonderful sad songs to share with the world. I feel his pain in his lyrics and I'm glad he expressed it through music.
Honestly, I am glad I listened to this song when I was unusually happy, because it is quite sad. I am not one to cry listening to songs generally, but I must admit I did cry. I think if I didn't watch it, if I just heard it, it wouldn't have made me quite so sad. But James' body language tore me up, it looked like he was crumbling inside, like it was tearing him apart to sing this. On a brighter note, his voice was a gorgeous as ever. I'm so very excited to hear all of the new CD.
If Time Is All I Have James Blunt When you wake up Turn the radio on And you'll hear this simple song That I made up That I made up for you When you're driving Turn the radio up Cause I can't sing loud enough Hard these days To get my message through If time is all I have I'll waste it all on you Each day I'll turn it back It's what the broken-hearted do I'm tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake When you marry And you look around I'll be somewhere in that crowd Torn up, that it isn't me When you're older And the memories fade But I know I'll still feel the same For as long as I live But if time is all I have I'll waste it all on you Each day I'll turn it back It's what the broken-hearted do I'm tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake Won't you…
He seems to project what a lot of us would like to be -- unafraid to show what's inside for fear of being rejected, ignored, made fun of. I respect him a lot for that.
I was immensely deeply attached to someone when I acquainted to you that time,I remember it's 2010 2011 2012ish, I used to listen to you all effing day,each song of you was like Me expressing my love to that someone❤️
why is he the only artist that make me cry??? nobody else can do this!!! cz he is the best singer that ever exist!! that's why!!! thumbs up if James Blunt is your fav singer!!
im pissed this man should have millions on the damn thumbs up i dont give a shit what kind of music u listen to ,this is real talent heart felt and sang music,is there any flippin people that appreciate music anymore ill post this everyday til everyone sees this video
my mother is sitting behind me in our office talking about college admissions and all that unimportant stuff :p whilst im sitting here trying not to sob in front of her. this just hits the spot in my heart. james blunt you're incredible.
James Blunt, the best musician ever! Love all of your songs and above all love your personality created of big humanity!! Keep going on with your heart!! Love ya

I've seen him twice live...he is the most incredible live singer in existence

2:20 - 2:26
I truly can feel the pain his voice. Never saw any singer sing a song while being emotionally touched as James here
For those who saw this video for the first time...What a treat.
the album version is incomparable with this live performance.
this live version should be put in the legendary museum.
That was one of my favourite performances by James, it is so vulnerable and raw and that isn't easy to do in front of a whole crowd. He is so connected to the song and his emotions, its really beautiful and incredible.
He's showing such raw emotion here... I always knew this song meant something big to him, but I didn't realize just how strong it was until I saw this performance...
Wow.
If time is all I have, I would waste it all on you. so simple and profound. Once in a lifetime a talent like James Blunt arrives
What an awesome man. He is what a friend of mine says "A Wordsmith". Beautiful song, so melancholy and his face when he sings the song is divine. Thank you James. You are a honey.
So heartily felt!
James Blunt, you'll feel in love every time he opens his mouth!

I have been listening to this song since this morning, at least 100 times. its lovely.
James Blunt, one of the only men who can hold peoples hearts, can't wait for this album.
This is someone who leaves it all on the stage with his performance - lyrics and melody included.
Every time I saw this video, I can't stop crying with his emotional performance... all goes into the heart.
He sings with his soul. Nobody sings this way anymore!
And this song.. is one of the best songs i've ever heard.
I realy LOVE James Blunt. He is just the tipe of guy that i would sit with him and talk all night..

IT. WAS GREAT. JAMES🦋💗✌️
If I ever went to a show with someone and they screamed during a song like this I would never go with them again.
Of all the singers that I have seen, James is the only one who expresses his emotion in a song, that is incredible !!!
James Every new song I have heard from you simply amazes me. You must have the deepest heart of any man born. Your mother may worry about you but your love appears to be endless...she should be proud... not ask what she did wrong...but how she did it right!
Watching him sing this song, it's just like he is trying to hold back the tears, just to make it throught the song...such an emotional singer...
this is the kind of song you can't describe with words.
can't wait to see him live!
2018 here and still coming back to this video from time to time, crazy emotional performance by James!! And who in their sick mind could have disliked this video?!!

Seeing this live by far the greatest performance I have ever witnessed! So much passion feeling and emotion!
He really does bare his soul when he sings.
Nice to see him just singing, and not "hiding" behind his guitar or piano.
Yet another beautiful song, James. Good job. :)
I saw him live this week and when he played this song is just couldn't hold back the tears anymore! Such an amazing song!
A wonderful, wonderful artist. He sings from his heart and his words are words of love.
Its so amazing.
I dont know why he doesnt have more views or fans.
Raw emotion and some seriously good singing.
Not to mention this song could get you tears and has beautiful lyrics.
For one moment, I thought he would drop tears. Anyway, lighting operator did a great job here.
Speechless. Absolutely beauttiful. This performance goes straight to the heart!
I love how he puts so much of himself into the song.
it is obvious that someone has left a huge whole in his life but at least we get all this beautiful music from what is obviously a very hard time in his life. So happy he wrote all these wonderful sad songs to share with the world. I feel his pain in his lyrics and I'm glad he expressed it through music.
I wish everyone in the audience had shown some respect, and let this beautiful performance flow without disruption.
a lesson in life he gaves all the time ...everyone should listen his songs and think about life
His live voice matches his CD... that's when you know an AWESOME artist!
How amazing this is... Thank you James ! World will never again have an artist like you...
I am from Serbia, and we don't have singers like James Blunt here... :((( well done, James, well done..
Honestly, I am glad I listened to this song when I was unusually happy, because it is quite sad. I am not one to cry listening to songs generally, but I must admit I did cry.
I think if I didn't watch it, if I just heard it, it wouldn't have made me quite so sad. But James' body language tore me up, it looked like he was crumbling inside, like it was tearing him apart to sing this.
On a brighter note, his voice was a gorgeous as ever. I'm so very excited to hear all of the new CD.
this is song.. is incredible... his expressions...the whole performance.. it's just perfect.. can't stop listening ...
the first time i saw him cry, hell i know why his songs are that good. it is because he writes it and sing it from the heart.
Someone in the audience really does love him. 😍
I was at this concert. I was in the sound booth. I had access to all the camera angles. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
I actually cannot wait until this song gets on iTunes, I love it so much, just so much emotion
He sings all from his heart!
Songs like this should play at certain moments of our lives. Best song ever (...) Thanks for making this song James !
If Time Is All I Have
James Blunt
When you wake up
Turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song
That I made up
That I made up for you
When you're driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through
If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me
When you're older
And the memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live
But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you…
I love this version. It's slower than the CD cut. And much more emotional. Love all he does.
He seems to project what a lot of us would like to be -- unafraid to show what's inside for fear of being rejected, ignored, made fun of. I respect him a lot for that.
I was immensely deeply attached to someone when I acquainted to you that time,I remember it's 2010 2011 2012ish, I used to listen to you all effing day,each song of you was like Me expressing my love to that someone❤️
I can't stop listening to this song. Love you James.
i saw this live, i cried so badly. even he's crying. its such a beautiful song. no words can explain it .
I cried while watching Adele performing Someone Like You on Brit Awards. And now I was crying while watching James performing this beautiful song.
Listened to this a billion times can’t get enough of it
My mum listened to his music when me and my brother were young ,I'm now 15 and this stuff is all o listen to

His music sounds like it's coming from some deep pain. It's incredibly touching. Would like to reach out and hug him.
