This song I have listened to for years ever since I was 17 years old.

This is great. YT's robot is delivering good stuff today.

2024 from 2015 🙂

Agora que cheguei pelo Duolingo 😅

Te descubrí gracias a Duolingo.

Wow. Just wow.

So good to hear this . Glad to hear new material in 2024. I still have the first release. Pure poetry.

this song has got me through so much, i think about it everyday! thank you for putting something this beautiful into the universe

Indication by Duolingo. Great song!

Estoy aquí por duolingo😂 dice que su música es triste, pero dulce

❤❤❤

Great!

Some songs are underappreciated, and I appreciate that I'm able to appreciate them.

Nice!

I still come back to this masterpiece song, something about this masterpiece, time to time i would listen this and enjoy nostalgia feels

Belíssima voz

So heart-warming. Thank you.

❤

I love this song. Best song of lockdown years and a wonderful collaboration. If only you could do a tour and maybe add a little Swedish voice from the cardigans.... No wait really? See you at the Jazz café all the best Jez

There’s a bunch of songs that just go a little further in digging out what’s buried deep in our soul and bring it to light. This is one of them.

❤

thankful matty brought me here

Joy.. and terror. Beautiful.

That is good

Man , I still love you,

I listened to their music only yesterday....I started to listened music again after ten years. It's something that makes you feel like you deserve love. Real music must do something like this to you

great video - atmospheric and simple

what an amazing bunch - and James's voice is incredible as ever

I watch the park quieten from the hotel window I hear you softly sleep amongst the cars and saluting songbirds For a city whose size had scared me for years Right now it's a feeble evening row Not un-similar to a beach evening ending On the table to my left there's a magazine with a picture of dead monkey Making a mockery of what I'd call art But what would I know about the scene in the city That has swallowed up friends, lovers and family Just give me a village the size of a teacup You're happier here spread out with your eyes closed I feel I should order a drink in celebration to welcome the summer Whose first day is ending Should you wake you'd catch me of course And ask me the wisdom of drinking once more I cast me mind back to yesterdays wedding Where we got drunk and fell over I did my best to be polite to a family I'd never met But on numerous occasions, I guess, I could have tried harder Of course by the end of the night I was a best friend with everyone and every ones wife But right now I couldn't remember their names No matter how hard ii try As the sun glares through the hotel window I wonder of our future and where it will lead to I wonder if you'll be laying there 10 years 20 years 30 years down the line I'll still be staring out at the street confused about love and life It'll be interesting to see if anyone ever bought those songs of mine If anyone heard those words that I never got quite right I think I can be honest in presuming The world is not exactly going to be leaping out its bed To make me rich using my songs in adverts Selling oranges or lemons Who knows I may end up owning the whole street Or more likely sleeping under tree in the park opposite Would the runners keep me awake Or would I keep them asleep I'd hope I have the sense to move back home As lovely as today is I'd imagine the winter would be rather cold I'd been told for years that the devil had the best tunes And that the devil lived down here Whereas us country folk weren't worth the salt from the road Ex pat magazine editors who choose to loose their temper On the easily persuaded northern town dwellers And sure enough 99 percent of the people I meet Have scant regard for entertaining me It seems I'm too old too slow too quiet and just wrong And I'm glad In their cocaine fuelled electronic cabarets I'll be the man at the bar drinking overpriced whiskey From a bar maid who's to good to catch my eye She only works here two nights a week The rest of the time she's a singer in a rock and roll band I bet she'd change her tune If I told her my album had peaked at number 172 And that I also had friends who worked in bars And that didn't define who they are Though it certainly helps their capacity to drink But I've strayed off the subject Now I'll be leaning over and waking you up And you'll squint at me through the cracks between your eyelids Woozy with cider As if you're asking exactly where we are And exactly what I wanted And I'll be happy because We won't be taking anything too seriously

Anybody listening in 2022?

Criminally underplayed

Beautiful! That key change towards the end! And the animation deserves a credit - superb! Who made it?

2022

Great record. His voice has overtones of Dave Gedge and Stephen Malkmus ( which probably tells you a lot about my musical education) but is highly individual. Buy it, listen too it. A fine way to spend your time.

So good. I love the "the wide, wide river" album and hoping for a follow up...

Fantastic! Love the loose atmosphere in the recording. Great video too!

Es una maravilla ➕ del Sr. Clarke

After 15 years it's still sounds great.

WoW!

Still gorgeous ...after all these years...still peeking through the cracks of my drowsy eyelids...woozy with Cider

Wonderful!

Nice musings.....

Excellent work by JY. Giving me the strongest yearning to visit Cellardyke and Anstruther again.

I could listen to James' unpretentious musings on the world all day. The beginning reminded me of Pharaoh Saunders' 'The Creator Has A Master Plan' reworked for flute.

Loved it! Reminded me of “The Gift” by Velvet Underground.

Wonderful!

Interesting

Somebody have the lyrics?
