+LilRedRasta I thought he was awesome qhen they first put him up...wth wrong w everyone else? lol. just picking... But this song was the first I listened to. ..and I loved him!
+GoziTV Although he has a 3 Grammy Nominations right now, I still feel like he's underrated compared to other artists. He deserves so much recognition with his talent!
THE DUDE AT 2:07 RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND I WAS LIKE MISTER DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT JAMES BAY IS SINGING RIGHT THERE AND YOU COULD'VE JUST STOPPED TO LISTEN SO YOU CAN SQUEEZE HIS CHEEKS AND TELL HIM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM
I was eluding to the historical consistency in which current 'pop' churns out meaningless and monotonous bilge in a Simon Cowell fashion. There are key exceptions but most have hardly any talent and their songs meanings are base and plastic. James Bay, Jack Garret, Ben Howard and the ilk are a light in a x factor world.
I love that they used natural sounds for this video and song. Listen closely....can you hear the sound of running water and the cars passing by? It is so pure. His voice definatly takes me back in time to simpler days. I think I'm hooked on James Bay. ♡
I heard your song Hold Back The River on the radio. I then searched you, and found When We Were On Fire, and the video and acoustic is my favourite version of the song. I found this song because I bought your album, and I watch all of your videos. I was found by you and your words kept me. Your soul and passion is the love that will keep us strong.
My friend and I (the epic fiachra Garvey) saw this being filmed! After an epic night out In soho... We stood , and watched, and swooned. Memories, love love, xx
Had the absolute honour to see him perform live on Thursday night. I booked the tickets six months ago and every single night for his concert was sold out. I got them the morning they were released. I travelled 250 miles to go to London to the gig and he was worth every penny, every mile and every minute of the wait. His voice is like melting honey and his stage presence is astounding. I will never ever forget the night I got to experience James Bay and I cannot wait for his next album. Thank you James for sharing your talent and passion with us - you're amazing ~ Lorna x
I've listened to his music for a few months, and the past few weeks I've become so obsessed that I barely listen to anything but him. All of his (published) songs are so amazing!! (I bet all his unpublished songs are amazing too) I love how he keeps it simple, because he doesn't need a big show. He has his voice and his guitar, and that's more than enough. It's perfect! Please come to Norway :)
I hate how underrated he is despite having two hit songs like Let It Go and Hold Back the River. I mean he has a lot of good songs other than those two.
I can't say anything more then what is already said by many of you James Bay lovers. I just hope you come to Holland soon. The world needs this kind of music and this voice. To fill up the emptiness superfisual music left behind. Tnx James!!
Happened upon this Singer today while listening to Rhapsody for the first time. (Let It Go didn't let me go). Needless to say I immediately proceeded to purchase every EP and album available to me; search for tour dates. His voice is a revelation. I'd very much like to see him get his due.
don't even question me on this, hands down best James Bay song, his voice is so raw and pure and it gives you that feeling of happiness the second he reaches the first note. Master piece of a song.
I am just hearing his music for the first time today. Not sure what rock I was hiding under but wow is all I can say. Very inspiring and talented songwriter and musician but yet more to it than that. Can't put my finger on it but he is here to say. The official video for Let it Go is exceptional. Not sure who did that but award winning in my humble opinion. Depp like yes for some reason. The hair and the hat?? lol But cool as hell on James Bay as it is on Depp.
He is amazing. This song is just stunning. But to the person who was talking about British music and claimed Hozier was British, well he's not. He is as Irish as they come. Anyway, back to James Bay, this just gives me goosebumps.....
jarmans music well, as a fully fledged Irish man, I can safely say that we are NOT the same! Maybe you were missing from school that day? See, Ireland is a DIFFERENT COUNTRY! We have our own government and all, shocking I know. Hozier is from Co. Wicklow in the Republic of Ireland. He is ours. What is with the Brits always trying to take what doesn't belong to them?
Move together - just let things relax and love each other for who we are now.. so we can love for a long time. Let it Go - we dont need to try so hard to be together anymore when its not working out anymore. :(
Acho que vc não sabe o efeito que sua voz causa em mim, sua voz me acalma, sua voz é perfeita, vc merece todo respeito e sucesso que há no mundo, parabéns cara, vc é foda!!!
This is absolutely beautiful. Songs and artists like him give me hope that real music is still alive. (He's totally a John Mayer + Justin Nozuka hybrid)
The likes of James Bay, Allen Stone and Ray Lamontagne (old material) renew one's hope in music as an inspiring form of expression, not just a form of entertainment. It seems that evocative lyrics, compelling melodies and true musicianship are still in the world, though few and far between.
Same here Sara... did you see his recent live concert in a bid to raise money for small venues? He has a few new songs, I think “Right Now” beats them all
I saw this in the related section of a Fleetwood Mac video. I decided to click on it. I'm not disappointed. In fact, I find it exciting. It's always exciting to find an upcoming artist full of so much potential and possibility. You're super talented!
I don't normally listen to this type of genre but my ex sent me the link to this song and it's a very good song and I like his music.. I also like the song collide by James bay. I learned it from madden
I remember finding this video 10 years ago while I was in high school. Now years later, everything’s changed so much, but the same the chorus rang in my head, and I’m so glad I found this gem again.
Saw him last week in Dallas opening for ZZ Ward. Great performance. Got to talk to him for a few minutes after show, great guy, very down to earth. We need more like him.
saw him last night! he's such a nice guy. we got to talk about music in general and NoiseTrade (where I found his music). We definitely need more like him.
He's my old guitar tutor, very happy to see he has made it, very talented player and one of the nicest guys I know
He is great.
Wow
6 years from that and is still impresive
Wow
A few months ago he started doing guitar lessons on Instagram live
You are so underrated it hurts .
Not anymore :)
Henrik Dahlin It wasn't like that like 6 months ago. This dude blew up quick.
+LilRedRasta I thought he was awesome qhen they first put him up...wth wrong w everyone else? lol. just picking... But this song was the first I listened to. ..and I loved him!
+GoziTV Although he has a 3 Grammy Nominations right now, I still feel like he's underrated compared to other artists. He deserves so much recognition with his talent!
He doesn't tour much
THE DUDE AT 2:07 RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND I WAS LIKE MISTER DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT JAMES BAY IS SINGING RIGHT THERE AND YOU COULD'VE JUST STOPPED TO LISTEN SO YOU CAN SQUEEZE HIS CHEEKS AND TELL HIM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM
Ahahah ^_^
Same with the lady walking in her heels damn
You forgot the part of the really high scream and the bear hugh
Cookie Elliott RIGHT
Mary Chrystina
nice!!!
Dear Pop music, THIS is how you write a song. Listen and learn.
That's why it's called pop music, because most of it is short exposure. This song will last just like this artist will.
Naruichax - I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but pop music is short for 'popular'' music. If it's popular, it's 'pop' music.
***** no. pop music is not "popular music". Any genre of music can be popular and any pop music are not always popular. "Pop music" is just a genre.
I was eluding to the historical consistency in which current 'pop' churns out meaningless and monotonous bilge in a Simon Cowell fashion. There are key exceptions but most have hardly any talent and their songs meanings are base and plastic. James Bay, Jack Garret, Ben Howard and the ilk are a light in a x factor world.
well said
The rawness of his voice keeps this song so real 😍😍
People that say there aren't any good artists anymore, need to listen to artists like James Bay!
I used to be on of them, and he definitely changed my mine :)
And Ed Sheeran :)
sara bareilles is another artist i think you'd be interested in. shes a lovely artist who is very genuine about her music :)
Just met James at a travel lodge in new york over breakfast and he is a genuinely nice guy as well as a good artist!
I have a new love.. and his name is James Bay!
*james bae
+Raquel Myers Yup hahaha!
Man....How is it possible not to love this guy...
its not
Thankyou legacies. ❤
I love that they used natural sounds for this video and song. Listen closely....can you hear the sound of running water and the cars passing by? It is so pure. His voice definatly takes me back in time to simpler days. I think I'm hooked on James Bay. ♡
more like James Bay can we Move in Together
Yess😂
Btw u look beautiful
+shantica kaseke u too I wanna spread the love lol

I can't believe I forgot this masterpiece existed... Glad to rediscover it! ❤
I heard your song Hold Back The River on the radio.

He's Like an angel...Just close your eyes and listen
My friend and I (the epic fiachra Garvey) saw this being filmed! After an epic night out In soho... We stood , and watched, and swooned. Memories, love love, xx
you were lucky
I haven't wanted to learn to play a new song in a long time. This guy just inspired me to pick up my guitar again. great song. great sound.
I followed him from the beginning. And I still love the passion he puts into his work!
Had the absolute honour to see him perform live on Thursday night. I booked the tickets six months ago and every single night for his concert was sold out. I got them the morning they were released. I travelled 250 miles to go to London to the gig and he was worth every penny, every mile and every minute of the wait.

Come to Argentina James We love you !
I can't say anything more then what is already said by many of you James Bay lovers. I just hope you come to Holland soon. The world needs this kind of music and this voice. To fill up the emptiness superfisual music left behind. Tnx James!!
This dude can steal ur girl by just saying hi
lmao
lmaoo
yasss!
DEADD
It'd be like: "You had me at "h...", James"
Happened upon this Singer today while listening to Rhapsody for the first time. (Let It Go didn't let me go). Needless to say I immediately proceeded to purchase every EP and album available to me; search for tour dates. His voice is a revelation.
I'd very much like to see him get his due.
Same here...
me little sister put me on to him havent stopped listening to him for a week every song is quality
exactly what i just did today.
My word, irrevocably undeniably wonderful voice and strings.
+JawJarMarshall well aren't we a tryhard
+JawJarMarshall Nice wordage
James Bay? More like James Bae💜
damn, his voice is beautiful. and his singing, so full of emotion
Heey Legacies brought me back here, so proud to have known this for years!
deeply madly fallen in love with his music
don't even question me on this, hands down best James Bay song, his voice is so raw and pure and it gives you that feeling of happiness the second he reaches the first note. Master piece of a song.

Why is he not talked about currently. Amazing talent.
He is amazing. This song is just stunning. But to the person who was talking about British music and claimed Hozier was British, well he's not. He is as Irish as they come. Anyway, back to James Bay, this just gives me goosebumps.....
Soz lovely he is British includes Ireland
jarmans music well, as a fully fledged Irish man, I can safely say that we are NOT the same! Maybe you were missing from school that day? See, Ireland is a DIFFERENT COUNTRY! We have our own government and all, shocking I know. Hozier is from Co. Wicklow in the Republic of Ireland. He is ours. What is with the Brits always trying to take what doesn't belong to them?
Who knew that it was possible for someone to be this perfect
okay, you're perfect.
he's so cute with his guitar and angelic voice
His soul touches my soul.
Thank You James ! Your songs, voice, and music are a gift to us all.
Move together - just let things relax and love each other for who we are now.. so we can love for a long time.
Let it Go - we dont need to try so hard to be together anymore when its not working out anymore.
:(
James Bay is the Bob Dylan of our age. Thank you for your amazingly simple art.
Wow. Watch out for this man
I'm pretty sure this man was actually blessed by the gods!! I bloody love you James!!
Wow... this is perfection. Deep plunge into the pool of my soul.
Love the lyric "Maybe don't give me cold, cold shoulder, before you go turn around and let me hold you" 💖 perfection.
Lisa Sheeran check my cover and let me know
Acho que vc não sabe o efeito que sua voz causa em mim, sua voz me acalma, sua voz é perfeita, vc merece todo respeito e sucesso que há no mundo, parabéns cara, vc é foda!!!

How can I say anything The music says it all How we gonna move together that is it just take a chill pill and let all of everything go
My dream: James Bay and Børns playing together ❤️❤️❤️
This is absolutely beautiful.
Songs and artists like him give me hope that real music is still alive.
(He's totally a John Mayer + Justin Nozuka hybrid)
I love those hats
Some find him boring but it is the simplicity of the songs that I love. He has an amazing voice.
If it didnt bring you here you should really check out Leroy Sanchez's cover of this, its beautiful

It's 2022 and i still love this song 🤟🏻♥️

He sings and touches with emotion, demonstrates to love what he does. It's hard these days, all concerned with choreography and profit.
James Bae ❤️
Le sue canzoni sono così belle così emozionanti che ti fanno pensare alle cose più belle o più significative della tua vita
Esperamos shows no Brasil! :)
