#JamesBlake #Godspeed
Frank Ocean 10/10
James Blake 10/10
Both are incredibly beautiful on its own.
*11/10
Imagine a collab between both
@@LilSaske27 this song was a collab between both, atleast on the production and writing front
@@lx4079 that is right
Frank's version is way more emotional imo
The first “I will always love you” ALWAYS just hit my heart
😭😭😭 EVERYTIME!!
Same!! I keep repeating it it hits so deep
Same! 🥺
And the OooohooOooohh!
This song has a good message. Strong message
Dedicating this song to my beautiful baby boy.. who I lost tonight at 2am being 10 weeks pregnant. May you fly high angel 🌈
Prayers 🙌🏾🙌🏾
🫂🫂🫂
♥️
My wife and I after three years, 2 miscarriages, emergency surgeries, and finally being told we couldn’t have.....gave birth to twins. Keep your head up.
❤️
LYRICS
I will always love you how I do
Let go of a prayer for you
It's a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won't move
Still I'll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It's a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
But still you'll have this place to call home always
Glory, glory, glory, glory
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
Thank you
Thanks brader
Thank you 🙏🏼😘❤️
Thank you ❤
❤❤😢
What an absolutely beautiful and pleasant surprise. You have deeply blessed us, James. Thank you.
Garrett hey :)
Hi Garrett. Thought I'd see you here
I’m...SOBBING ON A THURSDAY NIGHT FML
I love that you love James.
🙏🏽
i want this at my wedding or at my funeral, whatever comes first
Lmaooo me too
it's unfortunately, a break-up song :(
@@freeduhkidd9190 I was thinking the same
@@DonInADress it can be interpreted as a love song
Why a wedding lmao
if this doesnt play at my funeral im not dying
Lol 😂😆
What
💀💀💀
Dead
Directly stolen word for word
😂 😂
The first time I heard this version, it took my breath away. So beautiful. Reminds me of how my dad felt about my mom when he finally decided to give her the divorce she wanted after 20 years of marriage. But he never stopped loving her. He was always there for her til the day he passed away. His love was forever.
That’s so sad 😭 Wish more people were that loyal and unchanging.
Yes. Seems like the ones that people just don't know how to accept true love. Sometimes considered boring until they're gone. Then it's too late.
😭😭😭
Poor man. I hope your presence consoled his broken heart and gave him a reason to go on.
❤❤❤
I didn't know what the word 'godspeed' meant before listening to this song on repeat. After many times of listening to and reciting this song, I'd decided to look up the definition. Godspeed is an expression of good wishes to a person starting a journey. I often think of this song. It's essentially the song that forever remains on my heart. I feel as though its God speaking to me, wishing me well on the next journey of the day and reminding me that his love sustains even through the toughest times. Thank you, James. Godspeed.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
💙
🥺♥️
🧡
Much love!!👌
FYI this isn’t a total cover as James co-wrote the original with Frank Ocean
Oh ok thanks for the clarification . Cuz I was confused how he was gonna make an “official video “ for a song he doesn’t sing
Marcus A.T
I think he did the arrangement his name is not on the song as writer just Breaux and Ho are listed as writers
It would still be a cover, even if he wrote the whole thing. And James didn’t co-write Godspeed.
@@tillytay2014 it's the official video of James Blake's Godspeed, it's not mutually exclusive to who did the original
Produced, arranged, and keyboards by James Blake as well as interpolating his song "always". Blurred lines.
Oftentimes, many aren't credited due to legal issues or whatever. Kanye didn't credit much for YEEZUS & then had loads on TLOP. John Mayer has stepped in on numerous radio hits without written credit due to his preference. Picture isn't clear-cut.
For my son and husband they are with Jesus now❤🙏
To my Daddy who passed away three days ago, I will always love you RB, you are the best Dad I could ever have in the whole universe in all times❤ Always your girl.
[Verse]
I will always love you
How I do
I let go of a prayer for you
Just a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won't move
Still I'll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It's a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
Still you'll have this place to call home always
Glory, glory
Glory, glory
[Outro]
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to write 🙏🏾
Thank you❤️
Wow
Thank u❤️
blonded james blake
it feels wrong
okito well i mean..he co-wrote the song with frank
Super Saiyan mode
I DIDN'T EVEN CONNECT HIS NEW BLONDE HAIR TO IT BEING A COVER FROM "BLOND"!
Dominque validd
Listening to this…I close my eyes with tears…The old me is dead never to be brought back..the old me tells the new me Godspeed.
Sometimes we get so stuck in our old unhappy selves that we don’t realize we are making it harder for the butterfly 🦋 to be released from the cocoon.
It’s like a funeral 😔 and a birthday party 🥳 of the mind. The wonderful world of depression and anxiety. But I am ready to welcome the new healthy me. 🙏🏾
Godspeed to anyone out there that is fighting the battles of the mind 🙏🏾
I am praying for unity with my family. Let God's love be magnified ❤🎉 ❤
Pray for peace and restoration in Jesus Christ Holy name, Amen 🙏
Jams Blake is in a league of his own at this point.
Been
Blake tear
Always has been!
In his own league doing Frank Ocean covers lol?
He has been for a while.
Frank Ocean should reply with a 'Too precious' cover
@@rh6754 it was co written by James and he helped on the productoion, but its still a Frank Ocean song
It`s more correct if Frank would`ve covered "My Willing Heart" `cause he`s credited as the co-writer of this song
Or always, which is co-written by Frank and samples heavily Godspeed
frank should just reply with anything
H.A.L THIS
Obviously, James's singing on this track is phenomenal, but I'm blown away by his piano playing as well. Those bass notes he plays at 2:22 and sustains throughout the rest of the song are brilliant; they add this cacophony and darkness that wasn't on the original. It adds a whole different dynamic to the song.
I dedicate this song to my wonderful, talented creative daughter Jessica. You are my world and Godspeed to you and I will always be there for you
Thats so nice. I've no doubt you've been a wonderful and loving mother to her and she knows it. 🖤
Frank Ocean's younger brother died about a month ago, hopefully this beautiful cover will cheer him up a little
Yeah :'(
I want to think he made this video with that in mind. :)
RIP :(... it's not rly a cover tho as James Blake wrote Godspeed and performed it unofficially ages ago.
Was he ill ? An accident ? 😟
shizukagozen777 carcrash
This song absolutely guts me. I think of my brother that died in December 2019. He was one of the first victims of Covid-19 in the US.
I'm so sorry for your loss
Hold on tight 😢 hang on strong soul
I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 I lost my brother almost two decades ago and have never been the same 💔
im so sorry to hear . god bless you and all your family
im so sorry to hear 💔💔💔💔
My boyfriend and I broke up last week. The first man I've ever loved. This pain is unbearable, I miss you so much, I don't even have words for it. This wasn't the right timing for our love.
Im soo sorry to hear that. Just know that you are Loved too. Remember you are Precious and deserving of a Requinted Love. That will love you and value you. Focus on the Love around you. From friends, family, yourself and most importantly, the Love from God that was created for you from the beginning cause let's be honest, people disappoint us and we them. We can even fail ourselves so we need a Love that is Withstanding, Consistent, Faithful, Unconditional, Eternal and that is only from Jesus♥️
I’m on this boat now :( lots of mistakes made I take fault for a lot of them.
This song sounds like it came straight from heaven 🥺❤️
James gave us another version of Godspeed as if we haven't cried enough
Dude :C
My actual thoughts haha
okay but i just want to say you are such a beautiful human omg
ah yes, to sleep crying,
Incredibly Spot On.
On everything
Ye😔
oh my god... SAME girl
yup
My grandma's funeral is in a week an one of my cousins will be performing this there ❤️
i’m sorry for your loss
Condolences
❤❤
I’m sorry for your loss 🤍
One smile can start a friendship
One word can stop a fight
One look can save a relationship
One hug can spark a hope
One touch can bring a warmth
One whisper can bring assurance
One decision can stop a war
One cooperation can bring abundance
One kiss can bring a kindness
One sleep can bring rest
One wake can bring happiness
One solution can stop the tests
If we only learn to smile to a stranger, to stop the fight, to start a relationship, to spark a hope, to embrace with warmth, to speak assurances, to end the war, to give abundance, to pass forward kindness, to allow rest, to share happiness, then maybe we can pass God's test!
Have a beautiful day to all!
A
Beautifully stated❤❤❤
bruh. I've had a playlist on spotify named "GODSPEED!" for almost 2 years and it's full of james blake's (and other artists of the similar vibe) songs. just thought i'd share that little synchronicity.
Shoot us a link to that playlist.

you two are love!
Thanks for the link bro been looking for similar vibes
@@abdurrazzaq2314 ❤
The only man that can cover Frank Ocean and make it sound as beautiful as his.
it kinda is his
No cover here
Yeah James co-wrote this song. Look at the liner notes for Blonde.
@@flyingpowerlogitech i know but he gave it to frank so this is basically a cover
Haider Hasan more like frank’s is the cover
I feel numb and I’m drowning in the darkness today. I stumbled across this song, it evokes so much emotion and is truly beautiful.
Hey hope you feeling better!
@@guratete thanks Beautiful, I’m in a much better headspace
2021 when my fiance died.
And whenever I heard this song
The first 5 words on the songs hit me so much and can't help not to cry 😭
I miss him so much 😭
My children’s mother left me a couple of weeks ago and I’m hurting because she was the love of my life. Never take for granted what you have and live in the moment.
Hope you're doing okay Zac. I'm so sorry about what's happening to you. I hope you don't mind me saying something, I saw your comment and felt the need to reach out.
I’m so sorry Zac! I hope you’re healing well.
I'm praying for you. I'm so so so sorry for your loss. God is here for you, and He will never ever leave you. In Jesus Name ❤️
I'm in the same boat.
💔😪😪😪 i hope you will be okey soon
This music feels like a hug in ur soul
God bless every one ☹️🥺🍃
@@user-wj1un9ls8i
Ameeen
This song is painfully beautiful. My family is going through a season of grief and I have never valued our time together so much. This song is dedicated to them.
I love you anak, Azriel 😭😭😭 this is my song to you. Please be happy up there and when the day comes that we will meet each other in heaven, please hug mama so tight.
My grandmother passed this weekend and this song has me in full on tears. ❤️
Sorry for your loss :(
Rip
Sorry for you loss, mate. rip.
Sorry for your loss! She's in paradise watching down upon you wrapping her arms around you always 😇💕
Stay strong brother
Now imagine James performing on the orchestral arrangement from A24 Waves... that shit would cure COVID and cancer together
🤯 ugh ur mind
i still cant find a instrumental to that
@@mikewootson2085 It doesn't exist bruh
Aha “A24” Waves
Maximum Blaster lmao
I started crying instantly wow 😳 I got chills in MY SOUL
This was the song we dedicated to my grandpa at his funeral services. Boy im in tears right now
so when James goes super sayan he gets softer, kinder, delicate
For those people whose hearts are hurting, this ones for you... 💜
Thank you!
My heart is in so much pain r n. I cont stop crying and I dont know what to do or how to stop the pain. I put on a happy face everyday and try to be happy but I just makes it worse at the end of the day. I just need a really good friend that I can talk to everyday that can help me feel better no matter if they are going through the same thing that i am going through or not.
I appreciate u😥
I’m not never ever going to stop loving my ex but I have to move forward with this book we call life 😢. I hope and pray that he is happy and healthy I hope he is very successful and running up a bag. I hope I get the chance to tell him that I am grateful for his chapter I got to play in his life story and I hope he never forget that he is loved
Why comparing James Blake to Frank Ocean, when both of them are unique in their own way. This is so gentle and truly beautiful version of “Godspeed”!❤️
His way of giving his condolences without being overbearing i feel
I’m walking down the aisle to this. I don’t have a man yet but it’s happening
same literally the song is so beautiful
God will bless you with one just believe it
sorry to burst your bubble but this is a break up song
@@hunnynothanks._6859 I mean it could be parents letting go of their child and trusting them to the care of their partner
I like the manifestation !
Goosebumps!! This has to be the most beautiful song ever.
People don't know the importance of God Speed, it's a blessed prayer.
The: There will be mountains you won't move, line is so beautiful.
When I meet someone who loves James Blake, I immediately start to like that person 🤗
I like you too ❤️
Say it louder for the people on the back
That first “I’ll always love you, how I do” just hits different yoooooo 🥲🥲❤️
Masterpiece. The way the piano follows that second verse is genius.
I really hope frank and his mom are doing okay...rip ryan ❤️
Shout out to all my insomniacs watching this at 2 am. This is as close to a lullaby we'll get.
Literally me right now 😅
he literally wrote us insomniacs a lullaby! its on assume form: "lullaby for an insomiac" 🥰
We here every night
Literally me
Wow r u kidding me? It's literally 1:58am rn!
Today is my birthday, not so happy until God speak to me through this lovely song🤍 Prayers to all of you!! Amen
During the serge of the Iraqi/Afghan War, hearing God Speed was such a norm. During the passing of the many great men/women it was so normal to hear God Speed but when I first heard Frank sing it I was mentally stuck for hours. I still can’t believe how far back this song can bring me! RIP to all those who sacrificed, God Speed to the new generational war fighters! @ James Blake great cover good luck in your music career!
james just built different.
Don’t get me wrong, i like Frank Ocean’s version.. but I LOVE your rendition Mr. James Blake.. your voice is absolutely heavenly 😍‼️
@Notnycee305 white people aren’t allowed to cover songs originally made by black people?
He’s the one who wrote the song
Who wrote the song
I lost my Father 10/24/2020. My soul cracked. I heard this song by accident one night just scrolling through songs on UA-cam. My 1-year-old son stopped walking and playing turn around and ran back to me where I was holding my phone. He was mesmerized by the opening I will always love you. I was holding a picture of my father and my son felt the picture frame was a phone so he kissed my father's picture. Tears of pain and joy overtook me. Every night since that day I have played this song with my son gets done with his bath we sit down on my bed listen to this song and talk to my dad's picture. Thank you so much for this song it means the world to me. Trying to type this through tears. God bless you and God bless anyone who's going through something right now that this song helps.
Sincerely,
James Cabán
Semper Fidelis
I know this song means different things for different people. Mostly people who have had a close relative pass away. Not that mourning the dead is easier but mourning the living is just….different. I immediately thought of my ex of almost a decade while listening to this and it helped bring me a lot of peace. His lyrics describe what I never could. Especially the last words. So to anyone struggling to let someone you may still love deeply go, just think of it as a different kind of love. A distant one. One that’s better for both of you to have peace.
Bless Jessie thank you for the comment!! Exactly what I needed to hear 💙
❤
James understands dynamics like none other. Mesmerizing.
I want to dance to this with my future spouse.
The run at 1:33 when he sang "from" touched my soul! Whew, this man's vocals are truly angelic.
Letting go when it wasn’t your choice and moving on but being so in love that you still wish them nothing but the best💔
This is one of those songs you can listen to over and over again🙏💕
It’s 1:51 for me! That “Glory Glory” part melts my heart!!!!
The variation of his sound and control he has over his voice is striking. He's like the female Beyonce in that respect; I don't know many male singers who have the ability or the bravery to explore so many different corners of their instrument. Beautiful.
My daughter in law did a tiktok clip of my daughter to this song...I sobbed myself stupid! It's so beautiful & raw & says exactly what I feel for my angel...Emily-Rose, I will always love you, how I do! love Mummy xoxoxoxoxox
My best friend just died. I just found out she had a secret TikTok, and saw she made a video making food with her son. This song in the background. Needless to say, I’m wrecked right now. Thank you for the beautiful song.
This is one of the most beautiful bittersweet songs I've ever heard. The epitome of true love. Simply beautiful....
People forget he co-wrote this song. What an amazing combo of him and frank
I know I'm not the only one who is begging for more verses just so u can hear more of James Blake!!! This is wayyyy to beautiful to be so short!!! Pretty sure it's my 50th time listening to this in 24 hours😂
Agreed..
Haven't seen my son in a year, moved not to far away to do better, but I miss em so much, I cried all the way there. Not sure how much longer I can hold on 😢 😢 😢
The B section ("This love will keep us from blinding...") was for me a revelation, listening to James. I immediately recognized it when he began to sing but I'd never known the actual words listening to the distorted samples in the original. Even in my not knowing, the song as a whole resonated so, so deeply with me. I held onto it and let it, like a lot of blonde, be half mystery to me.
I guess I left it alone for long enough. Those lyrics have found me feeling like my life is asking me to be blind and deaf to people I love. I cried and cried.
Many, many thanks to Mr. Blake and to all the people who liked this video so that it showed up in my feed. I hope you all are living your best!
Just goes to show how a song can be transformed just through the instrumentation and the artist. Both renditions are absolutely beautiful, and we have to give Frank credit for the songwriting, but I’d have to say I prefer this version. So raw.
Is no one going to mention how well this is filmed? The lighting and shadows, the color tone...
I lost someone irreplaceable. We were young and reckless, and I didn't let myself listen until it was too late and I destroyed something rare. I finally forgave myself to be happy and It's been years. I know we will never speak again and I want nothing but happiness for them, but the beauty of this song reflects every single moment I remember of that passion and love. Memories are all I have left now and i'll appreciate them until my brain is mushy and no longer large and wrinkled.
If you ever read this.. I'm sorry, wishing you god speed x
I love everything James Blake makes , EVERYTHING.
Me too.
Hannah Faith I seriously can’t wait for more of his work 😳😔
Erick Muiruri likewise. This was so relevant to my life situation today so I feel like it came at the perfect time as always. He can do no wrong.
Hannah Faith HE CANT DO NO WRONG 😭yesirr
Y'all do know its a Frank Ocean cover. just letting yall know.
James Blake and god in the same title is something accurate.
Sweet Jesus! What An Amazing, Anointed Voice!
A true blessing 💚🙏🏾
A prayer.An ode
James has such an incredibly distinct, rich voice. It elevates what would normally be a simple piano/vocal cover into something truly magical.
Let’s appreciate how good both the original and this cover are 🙏🏽👏🏽
I’m obsessed! His voice is so perfect! Discovered him on IG. Wow!
Heavenly. He sings with such emotion. The contrast between Frank and James is incomparable. They sing equally amazing, both in different ways 🤍
🥰😍
Not James releasing this while I’m having an emotional break down!! Great timing, just want I needed to cheer me up . Such a blessing 💜
emily martinez ♥️♥️♥️
Keep your head up.
godspeed
Tears flow every single time I listen to this. Thank you for the catharsis and the absolutely beautiful work of art James 🖤
This song blesses my heart. Every time I listen to this.. I start crying because I start thinking about my dog that died in 2019, and my other dog, that died this month. I framed in their fur and I have it in my room. I will always love them, they mean everything to me.
James Blake & Frank Ocean are godsends. Idek if God is real. But this surely is. Pure beauty.
THIS IS WHERE "IT'S A SWEET WORLD" CAME FROM IN THE SONG ALWAYS!
todroyas 🤯🤯🤯🤯
this song's always gonna make me feel grateful and happy
This song always gets me. Makes me think of my grandmother, we were so close and this song fits our relationship the best.
DEPRESSION HAS LEFT THE CHAT
You mean entered the chat???
I'm over here in tears coming up with a thesis for my apology to my ex
@@ibufalt I feel like the lyrics definitely makes the depression enter the chat babe but his voice does the opposite :)
clearly you don't interpret lyrics
Tf you mean bruh it entered
I said what I said
Guys, I am so happy to be alive right now❤
So proud of you. ❤️ keep going
Holy blessed vocals. I cannot. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I find myself looking up this video all the time. It feels like a gentle, warm hug to a lonely heart. Thank you, James
This is just so beautiful. I miss my mum.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know this song has really helped me get through these last few weeks. Been going through so much. Thanks bro
Blessings be upon you always know you are loved by Jesus.
The world will never be the same. Thank you, James. T.
This is one of those songs that gives you chills immediately and leaves you with a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes. Honestly breathtaking and time stopping.
When I grow up I wanna be like James!
