- Rolling Stone and Gibson have teamed up to offer a special weeklong series of music performances and the first-ever chance for music fans to make a charitable donation to support musicians and walk away with a signature guitar.
First up is James Bay, who kicks off his set with “Scars,” from his 2015 LP, Chaos and the Calm. Bay tells the camera that the track is about “realizing when you’ve lost something or someone, [and] that person or thing was so vital to you,” he says, “that you can’t make that mistake again.”

Anyone else think scars never got the attention it deserves. I honestly think in my 32 years I've never had a song mean so much to me.
Some songs are better off like that. It's my favourite from james too
I love Scars too, i always try to sing it at home on a UA-cam karaoke version
Danielle--lYou should see the clip of him singing "Scars" at Rock Werchter 2018--the ending will blow your socks off.
I hate listening to it because it reminds me of an ex that took me 2 years to forget hahahhaha
Classic long distance missing you love song and yes you are correct, nowhere near enough praise for this song
I just love how this is so raw. So real. Kind of intimate also. Just his (amazing) voice and guitar.
Pure talent, James.
I prefer his acoustic stuff played from his bedroom (especially his tutorials! They are awesome) to the big concert footage.
If this is your first time hearing James Bay, listen to his first album/EP. EVERY SINGLE ONE IS PERFECT
yess! I found him from his song “us” which was in the AFTER movie, he has nothing but hits 🥰🥰🥰
I heard "Let it go" and I never knew that this song was part of that album. Now I listen each song and I'm in love more and more.
James: singing Scars live in his room
Me: Dude. What the hell? *What kind of magic is that??*
He is my favorite artist by far. So glad he is getting the recognition he deserves
He's one of the best singers in my opinion. Very talented
agree, and such effortless singing.
his falsetto is so clean✨✨
Scars 0:39
Us 6:05
Hold back the river 10:03
@A D yep
@Nothing ButaBreath we don't skip, we put on repeat
I enjoy listening to your music , at 62 it’s still important to me to just get lost in my favorite songs and yours is part of that thank you for your talent.
This guy's the real frickin deal
My favorite artist by farr.
Hold back the river is still superior, with those guitar. I adore you so much. Stay healthy and sane, james. Thank you for your music.
Wonderful voice---I often fall asleep at night listening to James Bay.
The way he sings Scars in this version is so much more, idk, effective. He doesnt use a powerful belt on the first chorus like he did in the recording but dials it down a notch with a more soft and subtle sound so the second chorus hits it all the way! I’m dead
Scars is a hell of a song.
Proper hits the heart
This man is incredibly talented, one of the few artists who are able to stand on stage to sing and play a guitar at the same time and put on a fantastic show. They should take it more seriously. Thanks for your songs James I love you from Chile 🇨🇱
Hearing “Us” on acoustic gave it a nice little groove.
Hold back the river is one of the best song ever! ❤️
Yes!!
Brings me to tears every time I hear him play "Scars"...Loss is an awful thing to bear sometimes...
He played two of my all time fav songs, and now all is right with the world..well at least MY world
Look at that. Someone with real talent. I love this guy.
I remember seeing James Bay in Spring 2015 at Irving Plaza, just when he was taking off. He sounded just as incredible (vocals and guitar), pure talent and hard work. Love this
When I first time heard the song 'Scars' I'm immediately in love with this man's Voice💓
James scars really means a lot as I've lost someone recently a week ago who is very dear to me so thank you x
Scars is such a beautiful song, but kinda all of his songs are amazing so yeah
9:32 I am on that phase now and the song really captures the feeling that he described. Thanks for the beautiful song that brings back so many memories ❤
This man is a real talent. I love you, James!
So talented, I never get bored every time I listen to him...
I so agree. So beautiful and raw and inspiring
I, and I cannot stress this enough - NEED HIS NEW ALBUM RIGHT NOW
YESSSSS
Me too
one of my favorite singers :((
his music is too damn good
Why is it that I have only discovered him yesterday?! 😭😭😭 his "Us" captured me so deeply. It's my current favorite.
I have heard some of his songs before but never got into it or knew about him. Now I am realizing how great he is!
4:15 guitar solo sent chills such a good tune
Scars:
You're setting off,
It's time to go, the engine's running
My mind is lost,
We always knew this day was coming
And now it's more frightening than it's ever gonna be
We grow apart,
I watch you on the red horizon
Your lion's heart
Will protect you under stormy skies
And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears
And as soon as I can hold you once again
I won't let go of you, I swear
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind anymore
Your hands are cold,
Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
This fragile heart,
So heavy in my chest, it's breaking
And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me
But you're miles away,
You're breaking up, you're on your own
It's hard to take,
I need an hour just to say hello
But I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me
And for all the pennies in your pocket
We barely get a second just to speak
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind anymore
We'll have to hurt for now
But next time there's no doubt
'Cause I can't go without you anymore
Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah yeah
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
No, we can't leave us behind anymore
We'll have to hurt for now
But next time, there's no doubt
'Cause I can't go without you anymore
No I can't go without you anymore
One of my favs ty!
Thank you 🙏🙂
Absolutely love seeing these more intimate shares/performances from these artists. Getting to peel back a layer or two to know what's actually behind the song and who they actually are. I always come out with a new level of respect for the person and their craft -- especially when his voice is still so true on such a raw and naked recording.
lately ive been craving some james bay, he singing scars gave me chills, wish i could see morr of him up like those pop singers, he deserves so much );
The first time I saw him performing live was in 2019. His voice is so unique and recognizable and his lyrics always hit home. To many more albums to come ❤️
Hold back the river
..all time fav💞
This Man's BEAUTIFUL Voice simply can't be Real! Totally INCREDIBLE💝 For Now, we have to "Hold Back The River" and feel the "Scars" but THANK YOU for Being Here for "US". Stay Healthy & Safe💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝U!
Wow those were some "Bad" play on words.
Definitely got soul when he sings
Here 2022, things are better. This song is amazing. Love you all
How does it feel to be born with such perfection? He didnt even need a guitar. His voice is perfect!!!!
The oldscool Gibson sound of the guitar and his strong voice is gold!! One of the best acoustic performances i’ve seen lately! Great! Respect for this artist and Gibson!
A very talented guy with a very strong voice. Awesome song writer too :) stay safe and well.
So good to see james play some of his older songs
wHAT AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE! LOOK HOW HE KILLED THE GUITAR! HE WAS SOMETHING ELSE
Love for James Bay from Indonesia ❤
This is probably the best version if Scars I've heard... been starting the video over and over again.
The song meansso much to me.
Many people in my/our life have been lost to Cancer or other sickness ... this keeps me going. Thank you mister James Bay ❤
You have the music inside your soul and it’ s so beautifull to feel the same love of your songs in my heart
Always happy seeing james bay .

Your music moves me, James. Especially in this trying time.. so thank you for that.

Shame on you.
Always so cool without trying, James , a natural!! thx ! Saw u in Boston and NY !! So talented and giving😇💜 lovin the lessons 💕💜💙🎸]
So good! (I also love how like most of us, the best acoustics at home are in the bathroom.)
Thanks, James! My mood booster 💞
My heart is jumping all over the place! 💕❤💕
Thank you James, legend. Namaste my friend. 😊❤️
My heart is beating to fast, so Many emotions! 😅
I have no word to describe his real and raw talent on this performance. He’s one of my fave singers, thanks for choosing this song “ S C A R S “ This pandemic of the COVID19 has left the greatest scar to our family and relatives.
As long as we unite, play your best part; follow the advice from the health ministry as the example. Be hopeful and we’ll get through this difficulty time 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was with you as a busker, posting on UA-cam. I'm here with you now, sort of "post game" I'm not a fanboy, sorry, but I love you and your music. I sing your lyrics when family members have died, when I've gone off and got cancer, through everything. Sometimes your lyrics bring me to bits. But then, we have to stand, and fight for even more. Thanks James, stay safe, and bring us more. Fame is bigger than money. It's who's gonna bring the masses through. You've certainly done that for me. My only hope is that it's much much more. Love ya mate!
Ok, really, really love you. still not a fan girl, boy!
You Beauty!!!! Amazing Artist-Person-Soul. Love u! And thank you
