I genuinely love this music video. The way it portrays how shit life can get and when you try and force it to get better when you "romanticise" it just doesn't work and your life gets worse. This is so creative and the song is even better!
I felt my heart chip off a bit when James bought flowers for Roman and came home to them cheating with their THERAPIST. Amazing music, you never fail at impressing me with each new song release
mom loves you, james. everytime i put on james marriott or lovejoy she says "omg, i love how grungy it is." or "it's so grunge!" love your way to describe it, laura.
Lyrics (I wrote it out so I could see them all. It's such a beautiful song I'm literally holding back tears right now. Thank you so much for your beautiful music James Marriott): It's the same old story And the same look in my eye Don't pretend you see me, It only serves me right I won't go slowly She said "won't you call me one more time?" If you insist God Forbid that I romanticize this God forbid that I romanticize this God forbid that I romanticize this It's the same old story When you start to lie And you push against me To delay my decline I won't go slowly She said "won't you hold me one more time" A bitter kiss God forbid that I romanticize this God forbid that I romanticize this God forbid that I romanticize this The last time This is the last time This is the last time (this is the last time) Pick up the phone To let you know That you're alone now The last time (this is the last time) I'll pick up the phone to let you know That you're alone now God forbid that I romanticize this God forbid that I romanticize this Let me know if I messed anything up
You bloody legend. Now for the chords. Verse: Dmaj7- (repeat only first time) - Amaj - Gmaj -Gmin (only at romantisice this) Chorus: Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin - Gmaj -Gmin (at romanticise this) Bridge (unsure but i hope tjis works. Otherwise fiddle around abit): Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin - Gmaj - A#maj Then the last chorus is just a chorus again. And the verse is the same blah blah. Hope you enjoy it.
This made me cry, it's such an emotional story portrayed really well through the use of imagery and symbolism within both the lyrics and the visuals of the music video. You've done really well with this one and I'm glad I could join you on your journey of improvement over the time that I've known and supported you. Also I hate to break the mood but that coat fucks. Literally the coolest coat I've ever seen.
Amazing song. Great concept and beautiful direction of the music video. The loud shouting sections of the song caught me off guard, and contrast beautifully with the quiet portions. It really is a testament to how much your voice has improved over the years
As me and my dad's sat in our car, we were listening to my music and this came on. My dad says "Who sings that" Me: "James Mariott" Dad: "I like this. He's better than that Lovejoy band"
you and everyone involved did such a good job on this. i respect that you're giving balloons jobs aswell. they don't get given a chace in the music industry anywhere near as much as they should
I think it might be the first time I ever comment on a video, but damn that was amazing. I went into it without any expectations because I never listened to anything made by James, I am so pleasantly surprised. The vocals fit the mood of the music video perfectly and it's complimented by some really moving instrumentals. From the mixing to your voice itself, the lyrics and everything made it a very emotional listen. Thank you for making this kind of music, hope to see you have the success you deserve with it :)
Verse 1 It's the same old story And the same look in my eyes Don't pretend you see me It only serves me right I won't go slowly She said, "Won't you call me one more time?" If you insist God forbid that I romanticise this Chorus God forbid that I romanticise this God forbid that I romanticise this Verse 2 It's the same old story When you start to hide And you push against me To delay my decline I won't go slowly She said, "Won't you hold me one more time?"

The way I’ve interpreted this, is that the balloons represent the past memories of his toxic relationship and when he throws them out the window, he’s able to let go.
Music and art is interpative. But honestly. I kind of agree with yours. But i also think that he is somehow coping and that romangicizing this cope is not a good thing and only makes it harder. Its weird to explain. But i get it.
once again, an absolute banger from james. every single time I'm more and more amazed by how far james has come with both his vocals and song in general. good job james!!
Love James, been a fan for many years. Don’t really listen to his music but this come up on my recommended and I’m so glad I decided to listen because it’s one of my favs at the moment now ❤
Amazing song! Towards the beginning when it was like a switch flipped for the guitar to come in was just absolutely insane, my jaw dropped. I loved it sm
I watch his RUclips videos way before I found his music (right now) and honestly I’m fucking blown away. Instantly one of my top artists. Sick of drill trap all that

For those who want it. The chords are Dmaj7 - (Dmaj7 repeat only for the first time each verse) - Amaj - Gmaj - [Gmin] (only at romanticise this) In the chorus you get: Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin - Gmaj - Gmin Then the same for the verse. And for the bridge: Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin -Gmaj - A#maj Then the chorus hits and it a repeat. No need to thank me.
literally sobbing that I can't see James live at the Aussie shows because I am in LOVE with this song. its so sick to see how far he's grown as an artist and you can bet im sticking around to see what's next
I don't know if this was intentional or if I'm just reading to far into it but the ending where the guitar starts up again really furthers that message of being in a cycle you cant get out of, even when you knowing that it won't end well. Plus with him starting of video of what I assume is the wedding tape again. I also have a suspicion this is about loss tearing apart relationships/marriages cause that looked like a kids bicycle helmet he was holding during the counselling and wearing in the bike ride. If that's the case that's even more heart-wrenching cause the mix of grief from losing a partner and a family member all rolled into one. This is such and amazing song and I love the video for it, it adds so much to the message its so well done!
Seeing how far you've come since your earlier music, I feel like ive been part of a group of people who have experienced something really special, watching you grow an progress as an artist is something really inspiring to me, as someone who wants to start writing music and to everyone else who wants to pursue music. You've created something really special here James, not just your music but the community that comes with it. Thank You.
This song means a lot to to me. As a Trans-Women. Who has a bit of a struggle, being a women. I love this song. Part of me is constantly pushing the trans side of me away. Like I have to be my original self. Sometimes the trans side wants to come out, it wants attention. My parents are exactly ‘supportive’ of me. They seem to think that this isn’t right for me, simply because I didn’t have this dysphoria as kid. And how when my Mom met her little brother, she knew he was gay. And because of this part of me is like, “no im not trans I have to be who I originally am. I can’t do this”. And throughout all the transphobic comments and just things I keep getting told, it’s just like, god forbid that I romanticize these feelings of wanting to be a women. I just want to embrace these feelings and I want to romanticize them, like I’m being criticized for it. The ending of the song feels like to me, the last time that I push these feelings away and fully romanticize them. Which is something I haven’t been able to experience yet, but I really want too. I’m hoping one day, I say, “You know what, this is the last time. That I pick up the phone, to let the straight of me know, that they’re alone now.” And the trans side of me can fully be like understood and embrace itself. Theres a comic like the scenario I’m describing I can’t quite remember the name I think it was Chamelon who can’t change colors or something. I’m hoping one day that I’ll be able to experience that last bit though, and make this song even more special than it already is to me.
ok, how tf is James not more popular yet. Like come on I've been waiting but seriously. I feel bad for him. This is fucking incredible. Keep going Jimbo, please.
I like how the balloons could symbolise the fragility of love/relationships without the correct amount of attention or care. The way that he is the only ‘human’ may show that he has the most power in the situation, yet disregards it and goes down a path of self destruction. This power is also seen by him throwing the balloons out the window, showing he has control over the situation. English A-level is doing me dirty man…

literally obsessed with this new era of james' music, it's actually insane
same bruh
He’s in his slaying era
@@LovefromaliFR
I agree!
You can hardly tell it's the same artist the way the quality has just shot through the roof
Instructions were unclear and we romanticized the balloon
james is fhe type of guy to be cheated on by a balloon then realese is in to the sky while a masterpiece of music plays
This about to be on repeat for the rest of the year!!
Same king
Seeing James come this far is so inspirational. And it's always a banger every time he releases a new song. Keep up the great work Jimbo!
I genuinely love this music video. The way it portrays how shit life can get and when you try and force it to get better when you "romanticise" it just doesn't work and your life gets worse. This is so creative and the song is even better!
There’s just something about James’s vocals that just pulls me in every single music video
Was an absolute blast co-directing this for you Mr Marriott 🫀 ❤ shoutout to roman the balloon
roman the ballon is the coolest balloon :D! ❤❤
Real
i love roman balloon so mUch 😖💕
I felt my heart chip off a bit when James bought flowers for Roman and came home to them cheating with their THERAPIST.
Amazing music, you never fail at impressing me with each new song release
hehe those balloons were smooshing booties
just like this song ;)
sobbing what

mom loves you, james. everytime i put on james marriott or lovejoy she says "omg, i love how grungy it is." or "it's so grunge!" love your way to describe it, laura.
Lyrics (I wrote it out so I could see them all. It's such a beautiful song I'm literally holding back tears right now. Thank you so much for your beautiful music James Marriott):
It's the same old story
And the same look in my eye
Don't pretend you see me,
It only serves me right
I won't go slowly
She said "won't you call me one more time?"
If you insist
God Forbid that I romanticize this
God forbid that I romanticize this
God forbid that I romanticize this
It's the same old story
When you start to lie
And you push against me
To delay my decline
I won't go slowly
She said "won't you hold me one more time"
A bitter kiss
God forbid that I romanticize this
God forbid that I romanticize this
God forbid that I romanticize this
The last time
This is the last time
This is the last time (this is the last time)
Pick up the phone
To let you know
That you're alone now
The last time (this is the last time)
I'll pick up the phone to let you know
That you're alone now
God forbid that I romanticize this
God forbid that I romanticize this
Let me know if I messed anything up
You bloody legend. Now for the chords.
Verse:
Dmaj7- (repeat only first time) - Amaj - Gmaj -Gmin (only at romantisice this)
Chorus:
Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin - Gmaj -Gmin (at romanticise this)
Bridge (unsure but i hope tjis works. Otherwise fiddle around abit):
Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin - Gmaj - A#maj
Then the last chorus is just a chorus again. And the verse is the same blah blah.
Hope you enjoy it.
Y'all are actually so cool thank you both lmaoo
Oh my god you guys are both so cool, I hope you are having terrific days and about to receive huge opportunities
This made me cry, it's such an emotional story portrayed really well through the use of imagery and symbolism within both the lyrics and the visuals of the music video. You've done really well with this one and I'm glad I could join you on your journey of improvement over the time that I've known and supported you. Also I hate to break the mood but that coat fucks. Literally the coolest coat I've ever seen.
I was looking for someone that felt as strongly about the coat as I do. I want that coat.
@@maddief.8956 You've got good taste bc that coat is amazing as hell
Mate I sobbed in the middle of Valencia on my first holiday with a partner listening to this 😂🙈❤️
@@maddief.8956custom made but it's gorgeous, based off of the Elmer books (look up if you don't know)
@@HannahMarriottI thought of Elmer as soon as I saw it 😭
I don’t think James’ voice has ever sounded more beautiful, I am in love with this song
I’m so proud of you James
imma be so proud when I can say that “I listened to James marriot before he was one of the most popular artists in the world”
Frrr imma show my grandkids this shit
the balloons leaving at the end is a great metaphor for people’s fathers leaving after watching your lives James 😊
Amazing song. Great concept and beautiful direction of the music video. The loud shouting sections of the song caught me off guard, and contrast beautifully with the quiet portions. It really is a testament to how much your voice has improved over the years
the symvolism
the film style
the vibes
THE SONG
love this sm.
can`t believe a balloon cheated on James Marriott
it’s like the quality of ur music increases with every song man :) you’ve really gone above and beyond. this is sick
As me and my dad's sat in our car, we were listening to my music and this came on. My dad says "Who sings that" Me: "James Mariott" Dad: "I like this. He's better than that Lovejoy band"
Whattt thats so funny Also I love LoveJoy
Same I love both personally
Something about his songs just brings out feelings i didnt know i had
i love the painful yearning in those last strong “god forbid” it makes me just sad enough
you and everyone involved did such a good job on this. i respect that you're giving balloons jobs aswell. they don't get given a chace in the music industry anywhere near as much as they should
james riding on his bike in a pink unicorn helmet is a mood
I think it might be the first time I ever comment on a video, but damn that was amazing.
I went into it without any expectations because I never listened to anything made by James, I am so pleasantly surprised. The vocals fit the mood of the music video perfectly and it's complimented by some really moving instrumentals.

this song is euphoric, well done jimbo!! we're proud of you for coming so far
The ending of the music video feeds seamlessly into the beginning...an infinite loop. Love like this is a vicious cycle.

Ah yes. James has entered the depressed mucisian era.
How fun. Music is gonna be fun.
I HAVE NEVER RAN TO MY PHONE FASTSER THAN WHEN MY HEADPHONES READ OUT THAT NOTIFICATION
The fact that me and my best friend were literally just listening to this and then he kissed me on the line “god forbid I romanticise this “
an actual masterpiece, you were in a movie
10/10 vocals, 10/10 production, 10/10 storyline, 10/10 cinematography, 10/10 James, 10/10 EVERYTHING OML ILY JAMES.
Your voice came out so beautifully in this song
0:43 ngl i thought I had a hair on my phone… 😀
Great job James!!!! I always love when you release a new song!!!!
this music video was by far one of james’s best ones 🫶 such a strong and meaningful message too…proud of you jimbo ❤

and he said 6 years ago that its creepy to have a sexual interest in balloons.
Is this real?
Yeah in an old video he watched a TLC episode of a man having intimate feelings towards balloons.
Im seeing him live soon i will either cry or scream till i hurt myself when this song plays
The music, the cinematography and the vocals are amazing! Everything fits together so well this is so cool!
James has come so far in his vocal training. So proud of him. 😭
doing an essay in college about this music vid, thanks for making it so cool! :)
wait that's sick. WHat's the assignment? make an essay about a music viideo or just a video in general?
This song is awesome! We are all so proud of you James!
Please James I wanna sob and scream this song is so good but please I don't need to cry more today
i swear every song james releases his voice just gets better and better!! cannot wait for the album🤩🫶🏼
I’m obsessed with this
This new era of James Marriott music is my absolute favourite, keep up the incredible work Jimbo!

I really like the way in which the music was video was shot and also well, I really like this song. I like this new era of his music.
Hi James this is epic damn saw you at Weekender where you played so long and that was epic can't wait for the full EP to drop ❤
James Mariott’s music>>
James is so good at singing his emotions really shine through whatever he’s singing
Ahhhhhh i cant believe hes come this far, saw him live last year and hoping i can see him again!!!
This is suck a banger James. Seeing you become so far with the music is honestly amazing. Keep up the good work!
suck a banger 😭
ok, how tf is James not more popular yet. Like come on I've been waiting but seriously. I feel bad for him. This is fucking incredible. Keep going Jimbo, please.
W song
W lyrics
W music video
W jacket
W EVERYTHING
Found out James was performing main stage Reading fest so decided to give his music a listen. Will definitely be going along to watch him now
can't wait to make this on my Spotify wrapped 💪
I absolutely love this song but now canonically in the James music universe he is married to a balloon and I love it- keep up the good work Jimbo ^^
I like how the balloons could symbolise the fragility of love/relationships without the correct amount of attention or care. The way that he is the only ‘human’ may show that he has the most power in the situation, yet disregards it and goes down a path of self destruction. This power is also seen by him throwing the balloons out the window, showing he has control over the situation.
English A-level is doing me dirty man…
Man 😢
the vocals when the chorus is repeated for the last time are amazing
this is so good. so proud of the way youve come man, lovfe hearing how your sound has grown
THIS IS SO GOOD JIMBO MADE ME AND MY COUSIN CRY
