Letting go of someone is so hard. Especially if they gave you memories and promises. But if you miss someone so much it hurts,don't go back to them because you don't deserve that pain they gave you.
I heard this song coming back from my cousins marine graduation, and even though I was sad it made me think that it was his decision to leave, he knows the risks, i didn't put him in this situation, so I shouldn't feel bad for him. Sometimes you love someone so much you forget that they're their own person. I miss him, but the best I can do is hope for him to return safe.
I stumbled on James Bay's work a few months ago and I'm just always stunned by how good it is. Definitely one of the best songwriters of the decade. This song is my jam
I agree, to a certain extent. But I don't think that's quite the definitive point jake frost was making... still, it gives you an opportunity to use your new learnt insult now doesn't it! And how intelligent it makes you seem...
I saw James live about a year and a half ago supporting Nina Nesbitt, when he had very little media attention. I knew he had something special, his lyrics are amazing and his voice live has such a great vibe. Love his music so much and hope he gets even more recognition, he really does deserve it.
ando1135 Well, it's a temporary work out. Until the next shite occurs. Eventually we will separate. But we have kids so I want to attempt to stay together until they are old enough to understand. I do love her, hate her, yearn for her, loathe her. In the good times we still have fun. In the bad times - they are really, really bad. She's a good person, I'm not the easiest to live with, we can both be major assholes.
mrpinkroo trust me, as a child with parents that didnt get along, you'll do your kids a disservice if you stay together like that. it only shows a bad example to your kids. there was domestic violence during my childhood, dont know if its like that with you but i wouldnt stay together just for the kids if you guys fight a lot in the household. thats not a good environment to grow up in.
I remember hearing this song when it first came out on the radio and used to think it was so sad but beautiful. Never in a million years would I have thought this song would have been so relevant in my life until now. I googled my name and this song came up as a result. Beautiful ending, just beautiful.
Yes, me too!! The minute the guitar start playing during this episode I had to shazam so fast!! I have listened since I watch the episode this song non stop
+Seabiscuit - Is it weird that I don't think of any specific person with this? Idk, with most songs, especially sad sounding ones, it just makes me think of life and I mostly just picture myself looking out a window to a cloudy or rainy sky :/
Grey'a anatomy, Vampire Diaries, and Jane the Virgin? I've been hung up on this song for months, constant repeat. So glad James Bay is getting this kind of exposure. 9/10 the producers know exactly how to soundtrack the songs they use at just the right time during a scene, and all three definitely did it justice.
when I first heard this song it could not have been more perfect for the situation I was in. I was with someone and then when we broke up it was whatever. Then he started to work with my sister and always brought up the relationship, I was like gosh man... just... well let it go, haha! My favorite part is a little after the bridge (could be considered pre chorus) when he says "come on let it go, just let it be, let the ashes fall. Forget about me." ❤🎶
I recall first hearing this song many years ago during a difficult time in my life. It brought solace and comfort to me. This song came up on my feed and wow the emotion just comes flowing back.
Never watched vamp diaries I heard this song for the first time at work. I didn't have the time to actually listen to the words but when I did I realized that this song describes everything about me and my ex. This song made me realize that no matter how hard we tried that the connection we once had was gone. If I was to write a song about 'letting go' this would be it.
his voice is so beautiful. Being half deaf in one ear has not bothered me until now...I wonder how much more awesome this would be if I had perfect hearing!
loving someone, realizing it over. This song came on sirius for a reason this morning, to help me get through. I love you Kevin, always, I will always remember the wonderful sweet memories in my heart. XOXO
Such great and true lyrics, love the guitar in the middle 😍 Song of the summer ☀️ Just what I want when relaxing by the pool on hols 💙 Vibrato on his voice is bloomin amazing good lord. #jamesbae for real... 💗💗💗
what are you talking about. you are a special person to realize such a thing. this is a good feeling my friend. give good gifts no matter what they are. always
This is the very first version of the song! Some of us know cause we ve been here since day 1 Its been 6 years ladies and gentlemen, god bless this kind of beautiful music that touches our souls....!!!!!
when I saw him live last time I had this moment when I closed my eyes during this song and everything kind of fell into place for a moment. I wish I could thank him for that, I really do. thanks james, if you ever see this:)
Por que hay canciones que te llegan al corazón y te tocan el alma... ésta es una de ellas, esas que hacen que se me estremezcan los sentimientos y que mis ojos sin querer se empañen. Cuándo salió a la luz por primera vez? no lo sé, hace apenas unos días la escuché en una emisora radial y me enamoró, pero al traducir su letra definitivamente me cautivó, no de jo de escucharla. Gracias James Bay por éstas canciones!

It's never a good feeling when you realize the best gift you can give someone is your absence.
I'd give this comment a thousand likes if I could
So true
I've found out how worthless I am in this tiny world, thanks for helping me find myself...
Wow! That's it.
This.

Tina This.. This is inspirational and it hits hard, but thats what I feel like I needed to hear. Thank you.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯😔
The simplicity of this song is what makes it so great.
It took one song to love this man's voice, I think he has one of the greatest voices of the modern day.
I totally agree! he has something unique by his tone of voice. Loving it
Rina Bektesh well he sounds like jeff buckley
Agreed. Back in October I was able to see him open for Hozier. Talk about two guys with affecting voices. It was an excellent show.
I know right!! Took me 5 seconds listening to "hold back the river" and I was..... CRASH BOOM BANG!!! :-D
Jay McGuinness It's the raw edge that does it

He won Critics Choice 2015. Pretty much guarantees success. Past winners are Adele, Florence, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, and Sam Smith.

I use his songs as a lullaby at night because hi voice is so angelic

I swear this song is about me and my wife. Sad, but true. This song is helping me through the bad times.
Me too :( the lyrics explain the words I cant bring myself to say
Charlotte Allman It sucks being in a doomed relationship.
Strangely, we have worked it out. Hopefully, you can too sister. Good luck eh.
+mrpinkroo if its doomed how can you work it out?

James bay, what a perfect human being. Your voice is insanely calming and stunning, I could listen to him all day
ONE OF THE SONGS OF THE YEAR
repeat a hundred times but never boring to listening this song
Vampire Diaries 6x15 anyone? this song is so freaking good :)
Lol yup
It brings me here too. Lol
Yessss
Yes, me too!! The minute the guitar start playing during this episode I had to shazam so fast!! I have listened since I watch the episode this song non stop
Yes, Aurelija
It's pretty hard to listen to this without getting all teary eyed...
Right. Because we always think of that one person....
I did it.
+Seabiscuit tru af
+BIRDGANG HIGHLIGHTS my daughters father. First person I thought of when I first heard it, and the only person I think of every time I hear it.

No matter how popular let it go from frozen is, this will always be better.
+Claire VO So true!!
are you high the frozen from let go is better. besides he copied from frozen
+Diego Cordero Really nigga? There are a shit to of songs that are probably named like this.
+Ronaldo Torres I'm not black
+Diego Cordero I'm pretty sure this song was released a long time before "Frozen"...but that's none of my business...
It's hard to listen to this without thinking about someone and tearing up a bit
when I first heard this song it could not have been more perfect for the situation I was in. I was with someone and then when we broke up it was whatever. Then he started to work with my sister and always brought up the relationship, I was like gosh man... just... well let it go, haha!

i love that part too
I am crying, liquid is falling from my eyes because what a beautiful song and a beautiful voice
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE James Bay. You're the dude James.
I recall first hearing this song many years ago during a difficult time in my life. It brought solace and comfort to me. This song came up on my feed and wow the emotion just comes flowing back.
Falling out of love this way is so painful.
+Sarah Sweetlove the worst
it truly is
i know :(
+Sarah Sweetlove Falling out of love is hard but falling for betrayal is worse.
This song by James Bay will help me move forward in my life.
Just heard this on the radio January 6. Can't quit playing it. Going through bad times right now. It's helping.
The words in this song literally melts me.... Guess it hits really close to home.
Heard this on TVD last night. Such a beautiful song.
R.i.p Caleb, we love you more than you could ever imagine.

If you like this kind of music listen to Jaymes Young. Another underrated talent with remarkable potential.

I want this to play on my funeral.
Amen to that sister
Finally a song that knocked off Frozen. It was never good and the overplaying is so annoying while this is great to listen to.
Let all problems you can’t fix go it will be okay y’all 💪🏾😤💯

It takes something special for a song to make you experience what a heartbreak feels like despite never having your heart broken in the first place.

This song is so powerful and moving, it really is a masterpiece.
I'm so obsessed with this song
