I just lost a friend in a motorcycle accident yesterday and I was right behind him riding and I saw everything happen and it replays in my head every single second and I heard him take his last breath and I still don’t know what I could have done more...he was my best friend from freshman year and we were gonna start our senior year...I will forever ride for him...
I hope you’re hanging on in there, there’s nothing you could have done more because it was out of your hands, I’m so sorry you’ve experienced such heartbreak first hand I truly hope you’re doing well
How To Save A Life was a song that got me through a lot as a kid, and James Arthur’s songs have done the same for me as an adult. This is an awesome cover
This has just made my day. I was watching his bootcamp group performance the other day wishing for a full cover of this song and we finally got one. His voice is just unreal wow
Joseph Hogg yeah, I checked it out! It was really good, I love his voice, it’s full of emotion just like James’. He was definitely holding back a bit with this one but I think he wanted to make it sound more like the original.
Omg ..... Is there anything that James can't do ..... This was so incredible ❤ He knows how to take others songs and make it his own 😊 I am super proud of him 💜 Love this so much 💙
Step one, you say we need to talk He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left, and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best Cause after all, you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And I pray to God he hears you Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life
Oh that’s so beautiful of him dedicating this to all the nurses and doctors working over the holidays. Peace to all and many blessings. This is one of my top favorite songs EVER.
wow jAMES......I just listened to this... amazing.. ..love it. Strangely, your drummer looks just my son Zach. My other son Jarrod... drums for a living and is killing it as well....... Good Luck.....DO WHAT YOU LOVE!!
I love that in the final chorus, he performed very similarly to when he performed on XFactor. Ive been following ever since then, and to see him do his own cover is just awesome:)
i love when artists cover older songs, enough of current one-day-hits
I wanna like this comment but its at 420 :(

2 years later and it hasn’t changed.
not really an "older song"

Huge shout out to the drummer. The sound is so crisp and clean. Especially the snare
The drum sounding clean also depends on the mic quality 😅
His voice is perfect for this song!
Mia Mia

Yes he is
♥️ Beautiful James' ♥️ breathtaking voice is perfect for every song. 🙏♥️🇺🇲✌

I've waited for the version of this song made only by James since 2012 ... At last he arrived, he just sang a part of it in Xfactor
Manu Hermoso Ortega I know it's incredible. Made my day. 👌
Manu Hermoso Ortega He owned the part so much. I'm all excited. 😂😍
I was literally shaking when saw on twitter that he covers this song 😭
Manu Hermoso Ortega same! Soooo glad he did the whole song. What a voice!
Manu Hermoso Ortega SAMEEE!!
This song suits James so well! Takes me back to his x-factor days! Always wanted him to cover this song! Amazing ! 👏
James Arthur is a very special person and a legend in the making. Another beautiful, breathtaking performance!
Renee Fox Stunning. x
3:45 gets me everytime... sounds like he's part when they sang this song on Xfactor
something I noticed about James, he almost always only sing songs that compliment his voice perfectly. Really smart man right there.
Y’all killed it…..drummer plays super clean…sounds perfect
james is so underrated its sick. he deserves so much more.
I don't know James is underrated now...Iike what did happened??
He’s really not underrated at all
The x factor version I actually have no words to describe how good it is. Every person needs to hear it. That raw young voice.
I AM REMINISCING SO MUCH OF MY PAST.
This song will always be special. James has a beautiful voice.
And beautiful eyes
I've been coming back here continuously for the last couple of days. Any James Arthur fan here?
here
Me too
How To Save A Life was a song that got me through a lot as a kid, and James Arthur’s songs have done the same for me as an adult. This is an awesome cover

Jennah 0908 Made my day too. 😀
His voice is so beautiful. Never stop making music Arthur
I love his phrasing on this. He really delivered the song's message.
That last chorus. Took me back to 2012. Been waiting for this since. Killed it, yet again James.
I don't know how a song can make me so sad and happy at the same time...💔
The Fray would be proud of this
I just wanna give a shout out to the background vocalists. BBC Radio 1 has an amazing band and backing vocals in every video!

Omg ..... Is there anything that James can't do ..... This was so incredible ❤ He knows how to take others songs and make it his own 😊 I am super proud of him 💜 Love this so much 💙
Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Legends know this by heart❤
