LYRICS
Something In The Way She Moves by James Taylor
Well, there’s something in the way she moves
Or looks my way or calls my name
That seems to leave this troubled world behind
And if I’m feeling down and blue
Or troubled by some foolish game
She always seems to make me change my mind
I feel fine any time she’s around me now
She’s around me now almost all the time
If I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
She’s been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine
Every now and then the things I lean on
They lose their meaning
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should never let me go, no
She has the power to go where
No one else can find me
And to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know
Well, I guess I just got to know then
It isn’t what she’s got to say
Or how she thinks or where she’s been
To me the words are nice the way they sound
I like to hear them best that way
Doesn’t much matter what they mean
She says them mostly just to calm me down
I feel fine any time that she’s around me now
She’s around me now I guess just about all the time
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
She’s been with me now quite a long, long time
Yes, I feel fine

My mother loved Sweet Baby James and played his albums all the time as I grew up. She passed away three days ago and this song makes me feel so good. I know she’s with me and still making me feel at peace.
I'm sure she's looking down at you and smiling Sandie.
I’m so sorry about your Mom. I too sang Sweet Baby James to my son James. My James was killed 8 years ago. My son was only 19. I’ve seen James Taylor 2 times since my son James died ♥️
Your mom was great and had fantastic taste
@sandieLouwho I'm so sorry for your loss.
She knew good music and was lucky to have you love her.
That voice. That face. Brilliant quintessentially American artist, poet and musician.
Is that you there James?! lol
Life is so hectic, but James Taylor is one of only a handful of recording artists/singers that put me at peace almost immediately. So glad he’s been and always will be a part of my musical life. ‘Love Always’ Matthew 21:22
Heyyyy Beautiful
yes there was a time when a single person used to create songs like this. I miss those days
There are casually organized weekly songwriter events pretty much everywhere. Find a couple near you and just go as a spectator. I 100% guarantee you you'll find someone that can move you like this. There are talented people everywhere, you just have to go find them.
One of my favorites since childhood. 🎉 Taylor"s music is timeless.. for my ears .. STILL ❤ Glides across the strings 😂 ❤
The effortlessness with which he performs this great song is just staggering.
An American Treasure then and now. Live forever Sweet Baby James. What a gift GOD has given you.
These BBC recordings of James Taylor absolutely astonish me. It was such a complicated, divided, and conflicted time, and here comes this strung out, homeless heroin addict with the most honest, pure and virtuosic live performances ever recorded. And, in my opinion, no solo live performance has ever come close.
Cat Stevens is on a different level
@@redlightspellsdanger7177 No
@@redlightspellsdanger7177, Bob Dylan ?
So well written :)
Not homeless
This song is near and dear to me, about a genuine love I had for someone over fifty years ago. I never told them and still think of them to this day.
He is a gem
I cry listening to him.
The tears cascade.
Peace 2023
James, I’m young buck about to turn 19 years old. Your music has brought so much joy to my life, thank you for your life, and your gift
That voice is a great reminder of an awesome era.
We are so fortunate to have this performance preserved
This is my favorite James Taylor song. So lovely.
Mine too ❤
Also myself
Just beautiful. The lyrics, the voice, the melody, the acoustic guitar. Perfection.
For sure!
I didn't realize the significance of this song until my ptsd service dog passed in January. I miss her so much.
Remember the good times you had together....
I'm so sorry.
I`m a 65 year old and this imo is the best song JT ever wrote.
I've been a fan of James Taylor since 7th grade in 1970. I've seen him live 6 times. I sang Sweet Baby James to my unborn children, then as a lullabye when they were young. This is one of my fav songs....in tears here 💜
Wish I was your child 👦, I mean that nice 👌
I used to sing The Water is Wide to my sons at bedtime. They’re grown now, and they still love that song.
You parents singing James Taylor to your children. Beautiful. 😢
Smile, be happy. Are those tears of joy though ?
Brings back good memories from the 70’s, peaceful music that reaches your heart
True poetry.. plus beautiful picking ❤️❤️❤️🐈
Happy Birthday James! Thanks for all the love vibes you put into the world through your most soulful music!
Absolutely exquisite.
Everything time I hear this song, my wife of 40+ years comes to mind.
She's been with me now, quite a long, long time, yes, and I feel fine.
I'd like to meet a special someone one day. Happy for ya.
You are indeed very blessed." For better or for worse, till death do us part" is getting very rare these days where marriages that doesn't last is the norm....Hollywood n celebrities are leading the way.
So beautiful!
You are blessed.
My beautiful wife and I, Married 50 years Feb 1, 2024. Our 🎵 51 years
What a fine musician.
What a fine singer.
What a fine songwriter.
Did I forget anything?
He was also lookin’ pretty damned FINE!
Special music by JT - your voice ,and guitar is a one of a kind - I always recognize . Once at church , a guitarist had the same sound - I was so excited I nailed him on it - he smiled
It’s like the words come directly from his soul. No one else is quite like James Taylor.
On May 29,2024 I saw JT is concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The concert started with a video of the very young JT starting to sing this song. About Every 15 secs JT aged a few years as he was singing this song. When the video finally arrived at the current JT age and look, Taylor stepped out on stage to finish the song with no distinction when the band started playing and the video stopped. What an intro to the concert!!! He played for two hours and just SLAYED it! I've been a JT fan since he made his intro into the music world in 1970 ( I was a sophomore in college). Go see JT before he stops touring.....you won't regret it!
Que privilégio o seu, amigo!
JT já esteve aqui no Brasil mas eu não tive a chance de ve-lo.
Eu amo TODAS as suas músicas!
My all time favorite song. I discovered it when I was 14 years old and now, I'm 49. I'm so thankful for this song because it accompanied me so many years. It's a song that means so much to me.
Absolutely mine as well. I'm in my early 30's and everyone around me finds it strange. It's like it re-fills me.
What a handsome, talented young man ❤ I wish I had been older back then to appreciate it in real time.
Who could not be inspired by such a beautiful expression of pure love. ❤ Every song he sings is straight from the heart & so comforting, whether he sings of heartbreak or joy, there always seems to be an assurity that all will be okay. From my 'bedsit years' in 1970 through the subsequent years when I started to find my feet, Sweet Baby James accompanied me through his music. And as I sit here in my 75th year, we still 'ride shotgun, free & easy'. James you good man, Long may you Ride. ❤😊🎉
I am simply blessed to have been alive then. I am truly in awe
So much talent to sound that relaxed and play those difficult guitar parts.
Saw James for the first time last weekend. Seeing him still do his thing 52 years later is so wild.
So fun!!
Just got back from seeing him for the first time! Bucket list shit! Amazing performance
Wow. All these years later and still …just wow.
My lullaby. And the gift that he didn't even realize that he was giving us! I was born 07/12/1970...I certain that he unknowingly raised me. I still go to JT whenever I need to chill in this crazy world.
Amen
One week before I was born. I love him so much. His voice calms my mind always. ❤
Had the pleasure to see him in concert yesterday. Beautiful all around and I feel intense peace listening to his voice. Thank you, JT. ❤
Why do I cry every time I hear this man?
To you who used to sing this to me, I miss you. Please be safe, healthy and happy.
Gosh. That is so sweet.
"...safe, healthy and happy..." are in my prayers every night...
I never get tired of listening to JT.
my late mother was a big James Taylor fan. my earliest musical memories are of this song and Carolina On My Mind. i come back to these kinds of performances often to go back to that time
Classic JT! The inimitable James Taylor, a guitar, a voice, and a poet!!!
This is artistic perfection. The way I feel listening to this, watching the way your hands just glide along the strings; Thank you. Your music made a huge impact on life in my hardest time. It's just..... painfully beautiful. Anyone understand?
Love it!
...it’s a song for my cat & i these days
Understood. James Taylor’s music has been a big part of my life for over 40 years. His music seems to soothe my soul . I never tire of it.
Thank you James Taylor 😊
TY James...
🎶 music is healing.. 🎶
#Namaste 🙏
YOU make us feel fine! 🎼
If I want to relax, find my peace, James Talylor is always there to help me with his music!
This music is making me feel sane now. Thanks JT
Over 50 years I've been enjoying your music. Listening to the same music as I did then and probably will for the rest of my years. Thank you :)
I'm younger than you but I feel the same. JAMES Taylor is timeless. Comfort. Serotonin Boost.
raised my boys on his music
So amazingly flawless. Before technology had the ability to eff with a performance to "improve" it, this is remarkable.
Thanks Mr Taylor, you blazed a path so beautiful for my mind and soul...cant get enuf listening to you!
His voice is so clear oh my goodness
Love this early rendition, like on the album James Taylor. Gorgeous.
Such a wonderful musician, songwriter and one of the world's greatest acoustic guitarists. This always reminds me of when I was a surfie kid growing up in Western Australia. Such happy times. Just one of the worlds best singer songwriters.
I made sure my two girls grew up to know MR.J. T.s music and my 3 grand kids even know a few or more of his songs. I Still got a crush on him and his calming voice. He's just the one worth my going on 60 + yrs of a big crush.
Will never grow tired of him, his voice and talent .

🎉🎉🎉 beautiful ! Immediately connected in a deep way with JT's music starting with his first album which I heard and I was about 11 years old. I was a troubled young man even at that age and those feelings continued for years with me but James Taylor always made me feel better just to listen to his music. It's no secret that the man has his experience with troubles and isn't afraid to address them in his music and he also did not fail to help the young version of me deal with things better.🎉🎉🎉 I don't listen to him as often as I could but when I do I know his music is like medicine for my soul. Much love to him and everyone here who appreciates him also ! 😅🎉❤
Thanks for restoring this jewel , I love James´ eyes , they are so beautiful.
He’ so handsome ! And his voice is like velvet
Yes.
Oh my, my Sweet Baby James!
You are the soundtrack of my youth...Ladoga, Iowa was hearing you in 1970 =)
Awesome what a voice. A superstar in the making Dec 1970.
The seventies were so beautiful. I remember Shakespeare plays in Central Park and camping in Pennsylvania during a thunderstorm playing James. I will never forget the chemistry between me and Damien. It's so magical. I've loved this man for so long. Faithful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had been a teenager in the 70’s - it was a magical era
Thank you for the songs you have brought to us. Time moves on but this song brings me back and will stay with us forever.
The incomparable style of this incredible voice will remain.🎉🎉🎉
Everyone who hears this....is lifted. Thanks JT.
Thanks for my life's lessons, JT. You've always been there, when I needed you
Goosebumps...serious goosebumps. Thank you kindly James :)
He recorded this track when signed to Apple in 1968. George Harrison liked the first line so much he asked James if he could use it for a song of his own and the rest is history
Such a great song!!❤❤❤
What is so good about Taylor is he is caught up completely in the song and getting that across. Now a days they look into the camera and it looks so poxsy it becomes humorous...........
One of my all time favorite JT songs. Takes me back to Boston!
A Gibson and one great microphone- wow
Wonderful! Thank you.
James Taylor was and still is so good. 1970 was over 50 years ago but the music holds up classically. He doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing, just himself on acoustic guitar, it doesn't look complex but nobody else can make that James Taylor acoustic guitar sound!
hats off... for the singing and the playing and the clarity and the music and the lyrics... a really talented 22 yr old guy... and I wonder whom does he look at when he sings 'And if I'm well you can tell / she's been with me now' (min 2.29).
This is so good
This is greatness. Man, the timing just puzzles me.
I was wondering about the timing too. Much more complicated than he makes it look
What a super talent. He slipped through Apple's fingers to Warner Bros. and THE ALBUM Sweet Baby James. Then I heard him and bought THE ALBUM when I was 19, and happily I still have it.
absolutely fantastic. JT created the template for the sensitive singer-songwriter.
Beautiful lyrics coupled with soothing guitar playing and singing. A wholesome song.
Thank you for continuing to share these. Just James and the guitar. The best!
Another of my favorite songs from James. 💕
Amazing song, amazing performance
James Taylor was and still is the perfect man. Humble, sweet, kind, genuine, talented, good looking, deep. I admire him so and his music helps me often.
This man is my hero. This song is my soul.
Bringing me back to the sweetest place ❤ Love to JT. 🤗
Musical genius runs deep in that family. Wonderful.
Try to imagine how Paul McCartney and George Harrison felt the first time they heard this song, when JT auditioned for them for an Apple recording contract. Had to be a magic moment all the way around.
George liked it so much he stole the line.
They probably thought "Close but no cigar'
@@JeffreyStock Taylor has stated that "I never thought for a second that George intended to do that. I don't think he intentionally ripped anything off, and all music is borrowed from other music. So completely I let it pass." Taylor also acknowledged that the ending of "Something in the Way She Moves" was taken from the Beatles' song "I Feel Fine" and so "what goes around comes around."
@@JeffreyStock And did a MUCH better job of it.
No. I don’t like that speculation. Leave it alone.
Seen him at Carowinds mid 70's I was maybe 10♥️
Oh James how beautiful you were and still are !!💕💕💕
Just another fantastic composition by a music genius
What more is there to say? He nails it in song after song, album after album...especially in those early years. Wonder if he was aware of how many lonely teenaged souls his music saved back then.
Beautiful.
Thank Q God for music ..
And James Taylor ☆
These BBC broadcasts are the best images we have of early James Taylor....just remarkably detailed. I've never seen James' Gibson J-50 up close in that level of clarity....This is no doubt due to the difference in our respective broadcast standards. In the U.S. we have NTSC while the Brits enjoy PAL. PAL may have fewer frames per second, but it also has more resolution lines than NTSC. PAL television broadcasts have 625 lines of resolution, compared to NTSC's 525. Just a thought....
Fascinating! I learned something; thank you!
Indeed. These are remarkable historical documents.
The BBC Neil Young session was equally impressive.
Pretty much HD
There's a Joni Mitchell BBC Concert that is also incredible. How I long for those days.
Beautiful song.
This guy is a legend..
Thank you, James.
That was very inspiring : )
Thanks for posting....really enjoy the videos, songs and the stories behind them...👍
Well done James! This was before you perfected your tuning method. I can hear that now, but wouldn’t have in 1970.
Grande, admirável James taylor!! Congratulações pela postagem de um marco temporal de sua lendária obra!!👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful version. I always loved the base in the recorded versions, but this sounds magical without it!
