#JamesBay #HoldBackTheRiver
I lost my dad 2 months ago. I'm in the end of my senior year of high school. I'm 17 and I never excepted to lose my dad. I thought Senior Year was the the last year to be a kid while you still are discovering who you want to become. I had a very close relationship with my dad, and I never expected him to die. He was diagnosed February 2018 with stage 4 esophageal cancer. It was hard seeing him for 10 months going from better to worse, not knowing how to help him. There would be times he would shows signs of recovery and then he showed signs of no recovery. I'm going through a lot of depression right now and I'm just missing my dad a lot. I came across this song on my Pandora and I completely related to the lyrics right away. The line "Trying to keep you close to me while life got in between" makes me think that I had no control over my dad's fate. It was God's plan for my dad and I know I will see him again. Maybe not in this life, but in the next.
melody moss hey I’m sorry to hear that I can’t even imagine what I will when mine dies but I do know that it will get better and I know you’ve probably heard that a lot but still it’s true and I’m positive that you’re dad is really proud of you and would want you to spend your time as happily as you can because we don’t know how much we all have but we should spend it not missing the people we’ve lost but planning for the next time we see them so we have happy and good memories to share with them as they smile at all our stories so you should start planning the memories you’ll share instead of missing them and I hope it helps and I know that we’ll never truly get over them but at least we won’t have to tell them all we ever did was miss them because if we did they wouldn’t want us to spend it that way the would want us to be happy so I send my best wishes for the life of happy memories ahead and the stories you’ll share with your father the next time you meet
Stay Strong you can and will get through this with God and your dad by your side! My dad has blood cancer with no cure and it’s scary not knowing how long he has left to live. Hope can be the greatest comfort in times like these when you’ve lost some one completely or to a debilitating illness. Stay strong I will be praying for you! Lots of warm hugs xx
Respect
I understand your pain.. I lost my dad my senior year also.. It is a hard thing to go through during that time.. He is watching over u and will always be there.. Just remember all he taught u and do your best.
enjoy evey moment try not to thing about it greetings from greece
Who's still listening in 2024??

I'm a 58 year old man at the end of a life I struggle to come to terms with. I don't sleep much anymore because of the idea of leaving my children behind . I was wanting to listen to something new while I was having another sleepless night and I ran across what I now consider the most beautiful song I have ever had the privilege of hearing. I thank God for taking me to the only song that has ever touched me and gave me such a desperately needed sense of calm. Thank you for sharing your gift with me and the whole world. God bless you and please never stop.
We are just strangers on the internet, but I truly hope God blesses you and gives you peace.
I know it must be scary..but some of the beauty of or in life comes from the fact that it ends hence making the present what requires our focus 😃..your strength is also something as rare as this kind of touching music..Be blessed sir
Your replies mean more to me than you can imagine, thank you so much.
JESUS LOVE YOU ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The best song on PES 2017💚
8 years later and this song is still not losing it's vibe. LOVE IT!
Same here 😁
Same😌
yeees, so true
Yooo this man Living in the future
It'll never loose it's vibe
My daughter fought leukaemia for two years. She was in a very dark place as I was. Her resilience was amazing. I listened to this song over and over again getting inspiration for the fight. Courtney is now 12 months in remission. James Bay's brilliance bought me hope and joy at a time where it was so hard to find. Thanks James.
Is right lad
Thank you for sharing that God bless you and your family
Bless you and your daughter always
God bless you, this mealts my heart.
Wonderful news that your daughter is doing well 💓
I miss these days 😢music is the closest thing we have to a Time Machine
Yeh🥺
music and poems
@@zayn1dshorts😅😅
I guess art in general is
The media have transformed our world in to that bullshit. Toxicity, badness and everyone wants to eat your brains.
The old songs make me forget the stupid prototypes, for instance cardi b do you know what the hedd she says to kids to do? You want it or not tate is the dad all of the guys need to be raised with hard work and pain. Pain makes good people
This song brings me back to the good old days. Just beautiful.
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
6 years since this masterpiece was dropped but still get the chills whenever i listen to this!
:')
Ok
Masterpiece indeed
I remember this I would be dancing and running around and this song was playing when I was 5
As soon as he started to sing I got chills I swear
Such an amazing song, can't get enough of it.
I know, he is such a talented person. He's so good when he plays it Acoustic as well. Are you planning on making a cover or something? I'm like you I just can't get enough of it!
Peter Gergely finally decent music
Yes
Heißt
I love it every time I am in the car I sing to it
Just bumped into this song and I was like,"wait a minute!"7years already and still loving it 👏
I've replayed this 4 times already
Yea... Still amazing 👏 😍
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
Lol.
I just found this. Instantly see this is great.
i cant stop listening to this song, LOVE IT!
I love you a lot.
Lol wtf
Same
Same
And we won't stop :D
lyrics
Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold oho, oho
Oho, oho
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
WOW :O
Thanks for the lyrics, man
Wow
Thank U lyric person
thank you
Very special song, actually the whole Chaos And The Calm album is very special to me. Takes me back to some of the best moments of my life and to the best people and person I've ever met, I miss those times so much. Forever grateful for this album even though sometimes it makes me feel kinda emotional when I listen to this and think back to then. An absolute incredible album and one of my all time favourite albums 😊
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
It's 8 years old but still as touching, ethereal & captivating as ever. A modern-day masterpiece.
Dear Whoever reads this.
I hope I make your day. telling you that you are Amazing, Beautiful/Handsome Person, You've probably all made someones life amazing by just being you, because your alive.... Your personalities are alive and you should never be bullied. Weight is nothing, height is nothing either. Because we were all born to grow a specific height. right now im only a few feet tall, I get judged but I get through my day because of you, you all help me get through a day. Because your all kind, all loving, all talented, your you and thats what makes you special you cannot change who you are, Smile while you still can :D I luv you all, all of you reading this! (Even if ur an alien) :3 xD
Bridget McAuley Dear Camila if you read this you are very welcome.. Thanks for your kind words! :) I really appreciate it, and that is not cheap English.. Thats quite good, coming from a person from Brazil. That wasn't meant to be offensive by the way.
Inspirational and beautiful ❤
2020, still here, still a banger 🤩
I cant agree with you more than 10 out off 10
Imogen White yup 💯
6 year’s later still bomb
hell yeah
Very good
I remember singing this at the end of year 2 (grade 1) for an assembly. Whenever I hear it it takes me back. ❤️❤️ Going into year 10 (grade 9) in September. Time flies.
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
Even when I’m not listening this masterpiece, it’s never stopping sounds in my head. Loving it so so much.❤
🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🕊️
I took me five years to realise that river is metaphor for tears
Ginnell Kyere I didn’t even know till I read your comment😭😭💀
thank you, i was wondering
No no. It's a metaphor for time here. To stop time, or at least slow it down.
cavin k that's just my interpretation
@@KC-xp8kj i think the same..And the lonely water is death coming..
I found this guy by accident and i'm so fucking glad I did.
darudesendsterm
Me 2
so did I!
Same
Fucking prik
Timeless classic masterpiece...
Yes, it is indeed a masterpiece
As I go through a difficult break up , this song brings me comfort in knowing that i'll be okay ..
why yall broke up
Oui.
You got it bro 👍🏻
I've had a difficult breakup in my life too. It feels terrible, I know, so I wish you to live through all pain successfully and become happy again
It helped me after I broke up with someone. Good luck.

HOLD BACK THE RIVER LET ME LOOK IN YOUR EYES #TUNE
Spot on.
You need to sing this! It would be amazing 😍
Annie Mackie check her most recent upload:)
thank you sarah!!!
i loved your cover
Such an underrated artist. He is amazing
ua-cam.com/video/qRL3LwBJ0ms/v-deo.html
the melody stolen, underrated artist is Mr. Šteidl
This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard in my life. Absolutely in love. James Bay you killed it!!♥️
This song always makes me sad, not because of the lyrics, but because It was me and my best friends favorite song, and I was listening to it hours before she passed away, which really fucked me up, and I just cry every time I listen to it
so sad to hear it. I can feel you...
Samera A Stay Strong , I'm Sure She's Watching Over You ((:
im so sorry. this is a really good song and I had a few songs that have been ruined for me. I know that feeling. 💗💗
sorry for your loss.
Samera A
This is such a good song
*-*
Yay
Koomby I agree
My son is 12 now but when he was about 3 years old…when this song came on ? Air guitar and his dads hat. So cool even back then. He lost his dad in 2013 a year after he was born. He only got one birthday and one Christmas….but his dad ? His hero. This was one of his dad’s favourites. My wee hero along with his big sister. ❤
Heartbreaking 💔
Acordei com essa música na cabeça, vim ouvir. Como é bom relembrar esse sucesso! Muito feliz por isso. ♥️😃🙏🏾✨
Lindo ver os outros comentários das pessoas também. Estamos todos juntos.
Dude Hozier and James Bay should make a song.
YES, YES I AGREE ON SO MUCH LEVELS
+Anonymous YES YES YES YES YES YES PLS
Awesome
+Anonymous this needs to happen. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Anonymous EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
This is so amazing!
I need more of him, Hozier and Jake Bugg!!
Jake Bugg!! ftw then Ed sheeran and bay
This guy is miles ahead of Jake Bugg
Jake Bugg is awesome.
Jack Jaileur are you for real? Jake bugg is a great talent and oasis are one of the biggest bands to come out of England. I'd say your account fuckin hipster who walks round like ' you won't of heard of who I'm listening to ' and then judges everyone for liking decent music
and 100% ben howard love all 3 of them
It's been 7y and its still a master piece!
Who's still listening
Listening to this brings back memories from the time I was playng PES 2017 with my siblings.
Bro i get so emotional life was literally and figuratively easier then I feel like screaming
Takes me back to PES 2017.. Awesome tune ❤🔥
I can't believe this came out in 2014. Seems like just yesterday.
yeah br it's a good clip
Truuuu
@@juniperjuniper7741 yeah. Time flies.
Oh man...I was on vacation with my dad when the song just came out. I remember being unable to stop listening to it while spending some awesome time in the mountains
@@PileOfLeafes Nice. Cherish those memories and make new ones.
I've been going through hard times recently this song helped me a lot big respect to you legend
You aight friend!?!
Life’s hard bro I know but life’s what you make it no matter what’s going on gotta enjoy the bad times it makes the good times feel even better. Everything will be aight bro
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
The passion and deepness makes this artist different from rest, not for the fame but for the music 🙏🎶
Agreed certainly a coach of an artist & those around him. Applaud this soul ❤

I could listen to this song on repeat for an eternity. I loved it then-I still love it. My favourite JB song 💕 x
This song always calms me down when I feel bad.

James Bay, George Ezra, Jake Bugg, Tom Odell, Lewis Watson, Laura Marling, Beans on Toast, Tom Rosenthal, Ben Howard, James Vincent McMorrow, Frank Turner, Luke Sital-Singh, Kodaline, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Nina Nesbitt, Lauren Aqualina, Chloe Howl, The 1975, Passenger... etc. British Music is so big!
Justin bieber's canadian
lars Kjetil Skeie Kodaline and James Vincent McMorrow are Irish not British.
dorsable Okay :) I'll remember that. Anyways, so many else from England! :P
Millietta Ireland isn't part of Great Britain (GB is England, Wales and Scotland)
Millietta Okay, Kodaline is from Ireland (not Northern Ireland) anyway which isn't part of the UK :)
Am from Africa but I hear country music is good and guess who made me believe it was James , legendary masterpiece ❤
Hold back the tears, hold them waters.. the endless rivers of tears back…. Let breakthrough finally come…. Part them rivers Abba.. come and let my love and I finally look into each others eyes again.. hand in hand heart to heart never to part again!
( not looking for sympathy ) my dad died 3 months ago and this was a song he always listened to, I never listened to it until now. But I’m glad I listened to it cause it is a beautiful song
Eimear Sweeney I am so sorry I lost my uncle a few months and this song reminds me of him!
I am so sorry ❤️🙏🏼
I'm sorry for your lost, me, I lost my grandma when I was like 9 y/o
I'm very sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear about your dad..
My favorite part is 'Once upon a different life, we rode our bikes into the sky'. My older sister and I did, so whenever I hear those lines, it reminds me of being young and innocent and being able to have stupid fun. I miss that.
Makes me think of radio flyer 😒
Yes at the back of the fish and chips shop in the alley in Blackpool. I was like 3 years old 🥺
ET
This song helped me heal after a heartbreak , i moved away for a year , got my mind together about what I wanted in life & who I needed to be. Everytime I listen to it , it takes me back to that chapter & I am happy to be where I am now🙏🏻
Every man has a song they keep private for those moments when you need to just have a cry and you need help getting it out, this is one of mine.

Me and my son's mother's song. Even to this day makes me cry for some reason
Out of nowhere, this tune popped into my head today. Initially couldn’t work out what tune I was singing. Then I realised and felt compelled to come here!
Cannot believe it is 7 years already!
Same happened to me today!

Listening in November 2018. Why isn't this heavenly voice more popular?
I don't know :(
because people judge others for their looks
and people have different opinions than others
🇧🇷 here😍
@@vivianefernandesvivi2133 brasileiro também, nós temos bom gosto
Still one of the best songs and one of my favourite songs i listen to it almost everyday even on my bad days without this song idk what i would do. This song has helped me through so much in the past yr or so ❤
My childhood from the 2010s and I haven’t heard this since 2017 make me feel young again
when i was 8 years old, i went on holiday with me, mum, dad, aunt and my little cousin whos like my best friend, this used to be my favourite song, that everytime the 5 of us went in the car i would beg my dad to put this song on so i could sing my heart out with the car roof down and driving through beautiful places with beautiful sunsets, this was5 years ago now, but not one of us will forget that holiday, so i would say this song describes my child hood like nothing else has. thank you james :)
My year 6 teacher played this at our leaver's assembly. Whenever I hear this I think of him and simpler times. Mr Thomas was the best and I hope wherever he is, he is well.
Me too.... S2
Stop making feel old🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely beautiful memory
Love this! ❤️
No TikTok, no Fortnite, no Corona. Good Times.
i mean nothings wrong with tik tok imo apart from idiots on there but like def agree with the fortnite and corona.. and if your from the us then all the chaos there

Happy New Year James. I contemplated listen to you tonight because it usually makes me cry , time missed with my dad. But I’m not going to tonight because it’s New Year. I hope. Now I’m about to push play. . happy New Years dad ❤🎉🥂
Tanto tempo depois e continuo amando essa música. 🥰

Lokey though
Pretty cool tbh
Factttssss
Love it how you are commenting this everywhere
As of May 21 listening I forgot about him then remembered his songs again !
Me fascina la melodia y como la canta con tanta dulzura James Bay❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
good old time Pes :(
For anyone who is reading this:
(This song made me think of this)
Think what u have with u. What u love and who u want to be. Always know that there is someone who has it worse than u. Try to help. Be grateful for everything u have. Don't dwell on the bad things. If your struggling in life now there's a reason for it and u will be happy. And lastly remember this, THIS LIFE WAS GIVEN TO YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE KNEW YOU COULD LIVE THROUGH IT.
adair ela thank u :)
✌
No it wasn't, my life was given because mom wanted someone to pass the family name, that's all,and yea, life couls be worse, but it could be a lot better too, but, it is what it is

James Bay is my new Ed Sheeran. Love love this guy. I bought his album "Chaos and the Calm" on iTunes.
Me too...... I am not loving Ed anymore since he became mainstream. Loved me Ed from his early UA-cam days. But I can't hate on his success. I really am happy for him but sad that what I fell in love with is gone.
i love James but i can never get over Ed ....😊Ed Sheeran till the end🙌🙌
+Hasta Luego thats really cool man
James is better 😒
+Mayer Hemmings No one is better. Everyone fairly talented in their own way *wink*
This song will be immortal because the feelings are genuine and true. It's nothing but love and sadness and that is the core of a human being.
This song is a robbery
This has currently been on repeat. His vibe, energy ❤
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
It has goodness in it
----Checking----Standby------ "Yep, still a bop in 2018!" 💯👌
lmao
The REALity Show i love this song
The REALity Show you right about that
-Love-
yea still an amazing song in 2018
Holyyy crap he's amazing. I have a few of his songs but every time I hear a new (to me) song I'm completely blown away by his talent. Hands down one of the best & talented artists out there.
Check out
Ben Howard
You'll fall deep x
iMertin Oh I know, right!? There are so many talented people in this world :) I love Ben's song Only Love. I need to check out more songs of his too though... do you have anymore suggestions I might not know of ? :)
Well I could name every one. Every Kingdom album , I forgot where we were album. Both excellent and so different
If I had to give you a few songs to try
Depths over distance , under the same sun, gracious, move like you want & she treats me well(new ish)
Let me know how you get on..
Martin
will do! might not be for awhile... im in and out of the hospital these days so i dont have much time!
iMertin thank you so much lol
You really don’t know what you have until it’s gone… Miss you Nandhini❤
This song is SO sentimental to me. It’s a beautiful song but this was playing at my work when I heard the news that my boyfriend try to take his life with a gun. I actually thought I did loose him…because it felt as he was speaking to me through this song. Maybe he was.
This is so wonderful I'm crying
I can't hold back the river
Lol
Its stunning isn't it!
ha gaaaaay
Stevie Robertson how would you know
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who's watching this in January 2021?? ☹️💖💖✨
Always, just love this song so much!! 🎼🎶👌😊
Love this song greetings from Germany
Me
Absolutely......Happy New Year.......:-)
Me 🥺😔
I first listened to this song when I played PES 2017 on my PS3. This song takes me back to those good moment when we were just kids and didn't need to worry about life... good and old times.
One of my favorites songs ever! Listening to it now brings me a lot of good memories from 2015, so much nostalgia...
I just found out my cousin is the drummer for this guy, I feel so important rn :') great song
Wow!! He is SUPER good!!!😁😁😁
Anna Olivia good and you have the same name as me
May Morgan mmm I smell bullshit
See u again
Jackson Travis i agree. bullshit is in the air, ladies and gentlemen.
Great lyrics, it is a wonderful song! More likes, please! I don't understand why Katy Perry has so many likes with her easy songs and such songs are not appreciated to their true value!
The true quality/value of a song will be determined by future generations. Songs from decades ago that are still played on radios and spotify today are not all hits during their time. But their quality is undeniable that we don't want to stop playing them. Hope this one will last.
+Glen Gumban your comment reminded me of john f. kennedy for some reason :3
+Glen Gumban wow - powerful, true words. I am loving this song
+Da Silv3rb0nes agree - soulful

And that‘s exactly why this is the most amazing song I know, because I just don‘t know whether I wanna cry so hard but I often don’t know why or whether I am just happy with everything.
Yes..🥺
his voice is just perfect and he himself is pure perfection
He sounds American, are his parents from US by any chance?
No he is English but sometimes accents will change when singing
How have I never heard this before? He's one of my favs!!! Loving it 10 seconds in. This beat is dope af
Play "Hold Back The …"
on YourRadioNow
"Hold Back The River"
Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should've been
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide
Those distant days all flashing by
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other?
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other?
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river
Hold...
[Alternative line:] Hold back the river
[Acoustic version's line:] Hold back...
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other?
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other?
